case was decided last Monday by
the Pennsylvania board of property
which affec-s the title of much Valu-
able land throughout the state and es-
pecialiy in the coal region. Some time
ago William E. Stevans. of this city,
applied to the commonwealth for Il
patent for 40-acre piece of land situ-
ateG near .hc West mountain. The
land has been claimed as the property
of the Delaware, Ldckawanna and
Western company. Mr.. Stevans
claimed that the ti!le to the land had
never been received from the original
owners, the commonwealth; hence, the
property was stih on the market. The
state board decided in the Scrantonian's
favor.
The decision is very important and
may make many changes in the owner
ship of much land in this state. Prop
erty for which the present owners do
not hold the original deed from the
commonwealth are liable TO he sold to
any applicant uuon his advancing the
purchase money and the necessary
proof.

just a Slight Emendation.

The full text Of the Parliamentary paper
called "Errata in the Venezuela Blue
Book" issued during the past week, has of
course not yet reached this country, but,
Judging from the opening erratum. which
has already been given by the cabled de-
spatches, 1t was worth compiling.
This initial correction notes that a certain
Spanish official report is quoted in the Blue
Book as reading in these words: 1T appears
that the Dutch settlements in Guayana ex-
tend from close to the River Amazon to
the Orinoco." AS revised this passage will
read as follows: " 1t appears that the Dutch
settlements in Guayana already EXTENDED
from close to the River Amazon at least as
far as the Pomeroon."
The little correction, then, consists sub
%stantially in substituting the Pomeroon for
the Orincco. How II happens that this
curious error was made, does not yet
appear. TIL two words do not closely re-
semble each other, and it can hardly be a
fault of the eyesight. Are we to attribute it
to that curious error which the late Mr..
RICHARD GRANT WHITE called heterophemy,
which causes a man to say or write one
word, when he has another in his mind ?
In the present instance, unfortunately,
the original assertion in the Blue Book rep
resented Spain as herself conceding the &C.
tual possession of Dutch Guiana, and hence
now of England, clear to the Orinoco, so
including everything on the coast which
Lord SALISBURY has ever demanded On
the other hand, the Pomeroon, or Pomeron.

as that Spanish acknowledgment is con-

1t is to be hoped that not many blum

documents in the Blue Book, due to the
compiler's having his mind preoccupied
with the extreme British claims,

The Mrs. Harris of Cleveland.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Clcretdnd
Recorder, presuming a little too much, per-
haps, upon its local knowledge or supposi-
ton of knowledge, takes the trouble to
deny the assertion lately made by an Akron
correspondent of THE Sun that there Is no
such person as "MARCUs AURELIUs" or
"MARCUs ANTONIUs HANNA; !" and it also
has the tcmerity to contradict our own calm
and unprecedented mention OF the fact that
the supposed HANNA" Is a myth. Listen

thority in Cleveland

Il Is often given as MARCUS ANToSIus HASSA, II is a
fact, TO he sure, that when IL Is thus translated

the declcnsion between the first two names and the
last one. HASSA IL evidently OF the frst declension,
as stated by THE SUS, while the other names ars ~

PARKHURsT first made this remark con-
corning the Raines law in New York, and
then deemed it SO smart that he repeated it
in the Plymouth Church Of Brooklyn last
Monday evening:
'n the Ten Commandments had been damned
through in the way the Raines bill hos been jammed
through. I would break them, the whole OF them"
OF course, a man who talks like that has
nc religious reverence, and his presence in a
Christian pulpit smacks Of profanity. 1t
shows him to be without the religious faith
he breaches to others; for, OF course, nobody
who really believes that the Command
ments are the Divine law, would speak Of
them in that fashion. Nor would anybody
capable of serious thought so refer to them.
The remark is without either wit or reason.
1t only exhibits anew the bluntness Of the
moral sense of the man, or rather the alb
sence of moral sense in his makeup. 1t
shows his intellectual shallowness, his bad
taste, and his indelicacy.
This remark, which PARKHURsT is likely
to repeat many times more in the State
campaign he has announced his purpose
of conducting, is more than merely morally
offensive. 1t shows that this pulpit shyster
Is a dangerousm member of society, who is util-
izing his sensational notoriety to incite the
people to rebellion against the law. He tells
them fatty that he intends to break a law
OF the State simply because he does not like
the manner of its passage, as he imagines
it to have been, and by saying that he
would do the same with the whole of the
Ten Commandments IL the method Of their
PRONUNCIATION did not suit him, he empha-
z..on It. 1,,t .,,n t;,a ,Irtoo H. 1900 t1,o
doctrine that a citizens obligation to obey
the law depends entirely upon his private
Judgment rs to the propriety of the enact
ment of the law. Ifyou don't like the Raines
law, says PARKHURsT, follow my example
and break it. If you don't like a Legislature,
refuse to heed it's laws, even IL they are
against crimes that society has condemned
ever since the lowest stages of its develop
ment. That is the Parkhurst doctrine;
and, Of course, it is square narchism.
Obviously PARKHUgsT did not think
seriously of the consequences involved in his
remarks, for he seems incapable Of serious
thought about anything. He was only try
ing to say something to attract attention
as an indication of his cheap audacity.
He was talking simply as a vain dema-
gogue; but he was playing with the fire Of
anarchy ali the same.
If the Raines law proves to be n bad law
the people will get rid of it in a lawful way.
They made it through their representatives:
and they can unmake it by the same
means; but meantime it is the law of the
State and they must obey it at their peril.
II, therefore, PARKHURsT should actually
carry out his threat to break the law, he
would get some of the punishment he de-
serves, for he would simply be treating a
human enactment as he has treated the
moral law which is from GOD Himself.
1t is remarkable that a Presbyterian
church which received it's training from the
refined and dignifled DIR. WILLIAM ADAMS,
should be able to tolerate this coarse. flip
pant, and blasphemous clerical shyster.
