UphoIdins Sabbath Protection,

An interesting decision has been
handed down by Justice Harlan for the
United States Supreme court. From the
earliest times the statute books Of
Georgia have contained a law prohibit
ing worldly labor on Sunday. When
railroads came supplementary act
was passed prohibiting the running of
freight trains on Sunday. This act
was obeyed until congress passed the
interstate commerce law, and then the
railroads raised the point that the lat
ter nullified the state act. The case
went finally to the Supreme court and
there a majority has upheld the consti-
tutionality of the state act, although
Chief Justice Fuller and Justice White
dissented.
The opinion of the majority as pre-
pared by Justice Harlan holds that the
Georgia Sunday law is a legitimate
exercise Of the police powers belonging
to each state. Under that power the
court holds that the legislature may
provide for the health. the morals and
the general welfare OF the people, and IL

WOMEN AND THE WHEEL.
From the Times-Herald.

The Women's Rescue league at a con-
ference in Washington promulgated a se-
ries of curious observations with respect
to the use of the bicycle by women. If it
were not for the fact that this OrganiZa-
ton had dedicated itself to the noblest
kind of philanthropy and has already ac-
ccmplshed grand work in rescuing wo-
manhood from the influences of degrading
environments its pronouncement on the
bicycle question would attract little atten-
tion. The question of the effect of the BIZ
cycle upon womanhood has two phases.
the mcral and the physical. The league
makes no concessions to any of the spon-
sors for the bicycle. 1t declares the
wheel to be deleterious to woman morally
and physically. placing special stress upon
its allegations as to the augmentation of
the army of outcast women by the wheel
ing pastime. The league also declares that
unless a halt is soon called in the bicycle
craze Is per cent. of the cyclists will be
an army of invalids within the next ten
years.
This alariningly pessimistic view of the
bicycle question is not justified by the
facts. The bicycle as an evangel of health,
fresh air and sunshine has the unqualified
Endorsement of nearly all physicians. 1t
Is taking American women out of doors,
and anything that tempts women to ex-
ercise in the open air. under proper con-
ditions and with a proper environment, is
a blessing to humanity. 1t Is doubtless
true that many young women ride to ex-

PervcrsiOns of Justice,

The last session of the Massachusetts
legislature authorized the appointment
of commission of three to consider the
subject of simplifying criminal plead
ings with view to preventing the grow
ing scandal of retrials on petty tech
ncalities that do not involve the merits
Of the case. That commission is now at
work. A similar step, it is announced
by the New York Evening Post, will
probably be taken at Albany next WIN
ter. 1t deserves to be duplicated in
Pennsylvania. where the evil in question
is quite as prominent as in any other
state or country.
The magnitude of the evil is we'll illus
trated In two cases cited recently by
w. c. Glenn before the Georgia Bar as
spciation and recalled by the New York
journal above referred to- In one in
stance man was charged with en-
bezzlng letter. and his guilt was made
clear, but he was discharged because
of a technical error in the indictment,
the direction on the letter not having
been given correctly. In the other a
man was charged with stealing a slOO
bill from another mans pocket, and his
guilt was also made plain, but he was
discharged because his lawyer was able,
by the aid of a magnifying glass, to
show that the date upon the bill was
not given correctly in the indictment.
In almost every other department of
human activity progress is steady and
rapid. In the department of human
justice things are practically at stand
still; processes are mossy with old age
and the live conditions of today are
confronted at every turn by the made
quate and obsolete rules and traditions
of from two to ten centuries ago. The
result is that the people have learned
to distrust the courts and to shun them.
Legal forms that produce such a feel
ing require renovation. The courts need
to be brought up to date.

future physical ailments of a grave char
acter, but where one woman is so foolish
as to do this a hundred ride the wheel
sensibly, decently and healthfully. 1t Is
also doubtless true that to the woman of
impure life the wheel may offer con-
venient means for facilitating the execu-
ton of immoral designs, but that the
pastime itself has a tendency to degrade
or demoralize is a proposition too absurd
for a moments consideration. woman
who will violate the decencies and pro-
prieties of life while wheeling will violate
them upon other occasions when the OPP
portunity is offered. Where one woman
rides to destruction on the wheel thou

the decorum, modesty and circumspec-
ton that characterize the well-bred, self

can homes.

morals, that one day in each week
be set apart by law as day when busi-
ness of all kinds shall cease within the
borders of the state. a law to that ef-
feet is constitutional and valid. not
withstanding that it temporarily sus-
pends commerce between the states. 1t
is held to be of the same nature as
quarantine and inspection laws, which
have always been held valid, though
they interfere with and check COM
merce to some extent.
The effect of this finding can hardly
fail to be stimulating to the cause of
Sabbath protection, which has often
had to encounter arguments calling in
question the constitutionality of laws

BROTHER SINGERLY'S VIEW S
rom the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Whatever else may be said of the the
ory of International bimetallism 1t is
harmless at least, except to the extent IN
which it encourages the Silverites who
are rushing to the attack upon the estao-
lished standard of money. Should Di-
metallism be attained by common con-
sent of the nations it Is the opinion OF
many sound economists that the system
could not be maintained, or If maintained.
that 1t would not accomplish any desira-
BILE end. Gold by reason of its convenience
would still remain the money OF interna-
tional exchange, while silver would sun
find its largest use as subsidiary curren-
cy in the everyday retail transactions or
domestic trade. International bimetaiiis'n
would hardly change a convenient ar
rangement that has been confirmed py
general experience. II, however, in
ternational bimetallism could mitigate
In any degree the rage for free silver COM
age and thus draw off the attack upon
the monetary standard of the country IT
would serve good purpose.

As Others See Ii.

Some Of our esteemed Democratic con-
temporaries are saving us the trouble
of reviewing the Chicago platforra.
They are doing this themselves in a
manner which leaves nothing to be
added. For instance, according to the
Philadelphia Times, there is not u sin
Gle paragraph in the platform enunciat-
ing distinct principle or policy of gov
eminent that gives any recognition to
national honor or integrity of Ameri-
can citizenship. Reputation runs
through every paragraph relating to
money, and anarchy is blended with the
dregs Of the old states rights idea in
the declaration that the greatest Re-
public of the earth shall be powerless
to maintain law and order within its
dominion"
Again: beginning with deliberate
falsehood and sravitating to unmis-
taxable reputation by the demand that
public and private obligations shall be
paid in money of one-half the value on
which the contracts were based, what
assurance would the country or the
world have that, with the success of re-
puaiation to the extent Of one-half the
value of obligations, the repudiationists
would there end the work of fraud?
II the legal or moral right to repudiate
80 per cent. of an obligation can be sus-
tanned. the right to repudiate three
fourths or the whole of any obligation
would be equally logical, and there is
not feature of the financial deliver
ance Of the Chicago platform on the
question of finance that is not open, un-
disguised reputation, with falsehood
summoned to furnish the only excuses
which can be offered for it,
Finally: THE Chicago platform is
without a redeeming feature to COM
mend it to patriotic citizens of any po-
litical faith. 1t is a proclamation Of
organized reputation, agrarianism and
anarchy. and it must summon every in
telligent and patriotic citizen, regard
less of political affiliations, to most
heroic battle against the triumph of
Il madnes sthat is as deadly in its aim
as was the madness Of secession in 1860,
and without even the poor excuse that
secession had for it's suicide"
It would be waste of energy to try
to augment this expert comment.

Dreg Level.

II is only natural that in a body Of
men wrought up to a nervous tension
by the frantic advocacy of a single idea
the liability of a stampede should be
great. This explains the Bryan boom
and wildly shows how superficial and
unstable the present silver movement
is.
Ready in debate. agile in repartee
iluent in the use of oratorical tricks
and poses, and possessed moreover of
netism. the Nebraska X-congressman
in his reply to Senator Hill rose easily
to the one opportunity of the Chicago
convention and by that short speech
with its well-gauged appeal to the SYM
pathies and prejudices of the free silver
multitude, pushed himself forward to
the very front of the race for the presi-
Dental nomination.
And it is in this elastic spirit of tickle
ness that the Democratic party, setting
aside the warning of is ablest leaders
and airily dismissing the almost unani-
nous protest OF the business element
of the country, proposes to rush for
ward to a precipitate revolution Of our
entire monetary system and play with
the finances and the commercial credit
of the country as child would play
with newly found toy. Truly, Ameri-
can politics has reached dreg-level.

From the Wilkes-Barre Record.

| From the Wilkes-Barre Record.
| Men whose business it is to familiarize
| themselves with the sentiment prevailing
| among the masses require no argument TO
| convince them that in the great political
| contest Of the present year the Republican
party will not have a walk-Over to sue
| cess. The one-sided result of the elections
| during the past two years has begotten
| Il confidence in the minds of many Repub-
| licans that the restoration OF their party
| to the complete control of the national
| government is only a matter OF form, that
| such a result is assured in advance, and
| that no special effort will be necessary.
| Those who reason in that way have failed
| to correctly read the signs of the times.
| Conditions have materially changed with
| in the past six months and they are blind
who have not observed these changes.
| The so-called silver craze has spread
with rapidity that was not believed pos
| sible year or less ago. 1t has complete
| ly swallowed up one of the great political
parties and made serious inroads in the
| ranks of the other. The situation Is seri-
Gus and those who believe in an honest
| money policy cannot too soon recognize
| this fact IL this free silver coinage
| mania were confined to the Democratic
| party there would be no cause for con-
| Germ, but, unfortunately, 1t Is not. In ev-
cry community, even in such states as
| Pennsylvania, New York and throughout
| New England. large numbers of men who
| call themselves Republicans, have become
| inoculated with the idea that free silver
| coinage will tend to q greater measure of
ma tional prosperity. Those men will be
held in the Republican party only because
they also believe in the necessity of a
| protective tariff.
In the states west of Ohio this restrain
| ing influence is less effectively felt, and
| thousands of Republicans will vote against
| their partys candidate for president be-
| cause he stands on a platform opposed to
free silver coinage. These losses to the
Republican ticket will probably, to some
extent, be made up by votes from honest
| money Democrats. The difficulty is that
! Democrats who are opposed to free silver
| coinage abound most numerously in the
| Middle and Eastern states, all of which
are certain to go Republican in any event,
while in the West there are few honest
| money Democrats and many Republican
| silverites.
| The moral of all this simply is that the
| Republicans must get down to cam
| paign of education" They have the
| weight of the argument on their side, and
hosts of the deluded free silver advocates,
| especially those among the working class
| es, can be made to see that they are con-
| templating the same kind of mistake
| they made in 1892, when they voted against
protection. They have paid dearly for
| that error of judgment. and they will pay
| even more dearly for the free silver coin
age experiment they are now clamoring
| for.
