DeIawares Constitutional Convention
has inserted radical section in its new
organic law with the object of suppressing
the evil of vote buying The right of trial
by jury is denied to bribe-takers. and they
are TO be tried instead before a board OF
Judges. The penalty for crimes against
the freedom of the ballot is fine of from
500 to $1,000. or imprisonment from six
months to five years, or both fine and i'm
prisonment. An important feature of the
section is a requirement that no person,
other than the accused, may withhold
testimony on the ground that he would be
Nominated or subjected topublic infamy.
Such testimony cannot be used against a
witness, save in proceedings for perjury.
The person convicted, " if male, shall
further, for term of ten years next follow
his sentence, be incapable of voting at any
such municipal OF primary election or con-
yention or meeting The operation of this
section will be watched with interest, says
the Baltimore Meas, and its influence will
spsedily spread to other States if it proves
to meet the end for which it is designed.

When before the Senate investigating
committee in Trenton, in 1895, Executive
Clerk Fox said that certain specifications
for the reconstruction of the Assembly
chamber were taken from the files by Gov
Albeit. Mr. Fox now says, in letter to
Governor Abbett's son, that when he gave
the testimony he was laboriug under mis-
take. He says the only papers removed by
Governor Albeit were those sent to his
residence by him (Mr. Fox). They were
in a wooden box, and included only his
correspondence aud recommendations to
Office He adds that since the testimony
was given certain papers and documents
which he testified had been sent to Gov
ernor Albeit, or taken away by him, have
been found 10 vault in the State House
cellar. This correction, in simple justice
to the memory OF Governor Albeit, should
have as wide circulation as the original
statement, and it affords us great pleasure
to give the fact publicity. 1t was only
after the death of the lion hearted Albeit,
that the political buzzards dare attack his
political integrity.

Biennial Sessions.


The Jersey CITY Journal vigorously op-
poses the constitutional amendment pro-
viding for biennial legislative sessions. 1t
regards all the arguments advanced in
favor of the amendment without force, and
contends that the secret which impels State
officers to favor it is that they do not want
legislative supervision over their actions
1t says
The best arguments produced so far
against holding biennial sessions of the
legislature haYe been brought forward by
advocates of that thoroughly pernicious
scheme. A whole broadside was fred at
the proposition few days ago in the shape
of letters from Governors, Secretaries of
State, and State Treasurers from all over
the country, who were in perfect unanimity
in opposition to annual sessions of the Leg
isIature, and some of them went SO far az to
insist that it would be better if sessions
were held only once in FIVE years. The
less radical proposed holding one session
under each Governor, and so On, all ap-
parently being possessed with the same
intensity of feeling which once moved
Cleveland to express himself as having
Congress on his hands,"
This is the secret which underlies the
opposition of State officers to frequent
legislative sessions They are human
enough. after having attained their Office, to
prefer individual to legislative government
This proposition for biennial sessions is
nothing more or less than the first step
away from the principles of legislative
government.
Another objection to the present system
is that we are suffering from such tre-
mendous amount of legislation that it is
hard to tell just what the law on any sub
iect is in this State. This is very shallow.
Our trouble is not due to bad laws so much
as to the absence of any code or classified
ton of the laws. This has been pointed
out many times and is perfectly under
stood. The Governors last message to the
Legislature emphasized the necessity of
supplying this want.
The last objection is that inexperienced
legislators are repeatedly procuring the
passage of bad laws, and the State would be
relieved of this if we had biennial sessions.
If our legislators are inexperienced now,
their qualifications would certainly be less
if they were deprived of half their oppor-
tunities for gainiBgsexperience. As for the
bad laws, they are the fault in the first
place of the people who elect Legislators
stupid or vicioas enough to propose bad
bills, and in the second place of the legis-
Iative body which make them laws. Even
after all this occurs the Governor has q
veto power. and if there is anything inner
entity bad in. the bill which neither the
Legislature nor the people nor the Cover
nor was able to discover, then the pro-
lection of the people demands annual
sessions to prevent such law remaining
on the statute books for two years before it
can be repealed.
1t is a matter of the deepest concern to
the people that this biennial session business
should be killed in its infancy. There is
nothing connected with it, except the
advocacy of few well-meaning but miss
gaided people, which is not thoroughly
bad.

The man who eats because he is hungry
is thus far, on level with the brutes. The
man who stops eating the moment his
hunger is appeased is the wise man. Ma
ture needs no more food than she calls for.
Continued excess brings about indigestion
or dyspepsia, with loss of flesh, strength,
sleep, ambition and mental power, and an
accumulation of aches, pains and many
dangerous local maladies.
The stomach nolC can do nothing alone.
We must appeal 10 some artifcially digested
food which can also digest other foods.
That is to cay, we must use the Shaker Di-
gestiye Cordial. The effect is prompt and
cheering. The chronic pain and distress
ceases Appetite presently revives. Flesh
and yigor gradually comes back, and the
sufferer RECEIVERS. But he n ust be careful
in future. A trial bottle 10 cents.

STATE HOUSE DESTROYED.
Pennsylvania Taxpayers Loss 81 300, 900,

Pennsylvauia Taxpayers Loss 81 800, 900,
with Very Little Insurance.
HARRISBURG, Feb s--The legislative
halls are in ruins. A new structure must
rise from the ashes that has served as a
meeting place Of the Legislature since 1920.
The flames have eaten up 81 500 600 worth
Of property. The inefficiency OF the Har-
risburg fire departments blamed.
There is not much over 800, 600 insur-
ance on the building and contents, ac-
cording to the statement of the treasury
officials. There was $400,00 on the capt.
itol building while the state library was in
it. Since that time the library has been
removed to another structure, and the in
surance on the legislative halls has been
reduced to $50, 000 In addition to this there
is $125,000 carried ON all the state build
ings.
A report was in circulation that the fire
was caused by the electric light wires. In
an interview with the officers of the Har-
risburg Electric company they stated that
1t did not and could not have originated
in that way. The building was rewired
several years ago at the time the insurance
was placed. The wiring was installed un-
der the rules and regulations Of the board
of fire underwriters, and was carefully in
spected and approved. The odor of smoke
was apparent to number of the senators
and employees from one to two hours be-
fore the fire was discovered. Had it been
caused by contact Of wires the fire would
have been apparent in very short time
The theory which has the most founda-
ton in fact is that it originated from the
open hearth fire in the lieutenant COVER
nor's room and burned under the floor
along the joists to the hall partition
where it was discovered.
Rapidly the flames destroyed the roof
and ate their way down into the senate
chamber, and soon the men who were
trying to recover property were driven
out. The flames shot along the senate
roof, wound themselves about the dome
and on the roof of the house chamber. AL
though there was heavy rain and snow
falling the woodwork burned like kind
ling wood. Soon there was a fire in every
portion of the building and there was no
hope for the historic structure, which fl
nally was totally consumed. The work of
the legislature will be continued in the
Grace Methodist church, which was ten
dered by the church officials.

Congressman-elect james r. Young says
in his Washington correspondence of the
PHILADELPHIA Star -
The arbitration treaty grows less and
less in favor the more it is studied. The
general idea meets with the commentator
of all, but there exists in the Senate q
feeling that the body should proceed with
the utmost caution concerning anything
in the way of a treaty, a compromise or a
concession coming from England. 1t would
make the blood boil in an American to
even intimate to him that his nation was
afraid to fight England but when it comes
to measure up with her in diplomacy we
have to acknowledge that we are afraid of
her. We are too honest and frank to match
her in the making Of a treaty. To be q
good diplomat it is said you must be an
adept in knowing hoy to toy around the
truth without giving even the semblance
of telling lie. That is, if you wish TO
conceal the truth you must not be caught
at it. James Biddle Eustis, our present
Am bassador to France, some years ago in
discussing British treaty, proved to the
Senate that England never was party to
treaty that she did not make the instru-
ment herself that the time never came to
Interpret treaty that she did not interpret
it to suit herself, and it never became
necessary for her interest to break treaty
that she did not break it herself. The
proofs Mr.. Eustis gave to the Senate were
SO conclusive that the treaty under con-
sideration failed of conformation.

despatch from Knoxvill, Tenn, dated
January %, states that seven of the nine
Building and Loan Associations of that
city have gone into the hands of the Re-
ceiyer, and adds:-
"The panic in building and loan sssocia-
tons in this city was caused by decision
of the Supreme Court, which provided that
where borrower forfeited his property
that the association must pay him back
such amount as he had paid in. Following
this hundreds of suits were at once begun.
and then the people who had money in
vested began to withdraw it. Applications
tor withdrawal came so fast that money
could not be obtained to pay off third
of them. Public sentiment was bitterly
opposed to the associations, and the result
was that they went into Receivers hands,
and the seven will be wound up.
The Southern, which was the second
one to fail, is the largest in the world, and
had stockholders in every Northern, East
ern, and Southern State, and many of those
il the West. 10 nearly every instance the
associations were in a perfectly solvent
condition when the Receivers were ap-
pointed"

Because the Governor of New York has
appointed Louis F. Payn, a notorious lob
byist and corrnptionist to be Superintend-
ent Of Insurance for that State, great cry
of Indignation has gone up from all over

is said with great assurance that Governor
Griggs is going to appoint the lobbiest
Bill" BEETLE to be Commissioners of Bank
ing, and not murmur Of disapproval is

Jersey is under Republican rule, they won't
