GROSS ABUSE OF POWER.
BROCK7ON GRAND ARMY MEN
TO ENTER PROTEST.
The Actions Of Department Commander Desns
Creates Much Friction.

Brockton, Mass. June 3.-Fletcns
Webster post last night adopted reso-
lutions appealing to the Grand Army
posts and members OF the department
from the ruling OF Department Com
mander Deane that the department COM
mander is vested with power to sup
press any resolution that may be for
warded by any post.
These resolutions are the result OF the
suppression by Department Commander
Thomas Of resolutions forwarded by the
post to the department encampment Of
1896. protesting against the use Of @. A.
II. funds for the purpose OF purchasing
presents for the retiring officers OF any
encampment. The delegates from the
post, say the resolutions were at that
time informed that they were not wanted
In the encampment and had better return
home.
Then. say the resolutions. the post de-
clined to elect delegates to the encamp-
ment OF 1897 believing that the encamp-
ment Is so conducted that delegates are
habitually slighted because Of the infiu-
ence Of the clique known as the house OF
lords." which 1t says IL power In the de-
0artment,
This. continued the resolutions, led to
correspondence and visit to the post
by Department Commander Deane. who.
according to the resolutions. said he was
vested with absolute and unqualified
power to suppress any resolution for
warded by any post to the encampment;
that the senior and Junior commanders
need know nothing of the matter before
the commander, who may ignore or in
suit delegates. and that Fletcher Web
ster post had no option but to put up
with its grievance.
This Interpretation the post protests
against as 'un-American, unjust, un-
called for and unwarranted."
Then. reiterating the allegiance of the
post to the Grand Army, the resolutions
protest against this ruling of the de-
pertinent commander and appeal to the
Individual members and posts Of the de-
partment.
The resolutions will be sent to Depart
ment Commander Deane and each men,
ber of the council of administration Of
the department and to every post.

idea. He had plenty OF money In the
bank and no kin to look reproachfully
at him IL he should spend IT, There
was no reason why he should not take
the trip.
There was much surprise in Wilkes
burg when IL became known that Mr..
Crockett was going to New York. 1t
had never been expected OF him, and
most of the people doubted his pru-
dence. They ergued that Mr.. and Mrs.
Pearson in Wilkesburg would come
down TO the Wilkesburg level, but in
New York they would stay on the New
York level, to which Mr.. Crockett could
not aspire Consequently his feelings
would get hurt. They gave him much
good advice. But, though he trembled
little at his own audacity in going so
far, Mr.. Crockett refused to change his
mind. In order to provide against any
possible interference he wrote imme-
diately to Cousin Jim that he was COM
ing, and the next day followed the
letter.
AS he boarded the train the friendly
station agent advised him to hold his
chin mighty high or he would make his
New York kinfolk ashamed of him and
Wilkesburg. But Mr. Crockett told
him not to be scared that cousin Jim
was not stuck up and "would take his
Kentucky ways kinder easy"
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-06-16

Cousin Jim took him to his bedroom,
and, setting a lamp on little dresser,
left him. Mr.. Crockett looked at the
room and the bed and then cogitated
deeply
when lie down shall 1 stick my
head or my feet out of the Window"
was the question. While giving it
time to turn itself over in his mind he
looked out at the interminable roofs
and concluded once again that land
must be mighty dear in New York,
TO BE CONCLUDED.

SAYINGS OF JEFFERSON.

Political dssensions is a less evil than
the lethargy of despotism; but still 1t is u
great evil, and 1t would be as worthy the
efforts of the patriot as of the philoso-
pher, to exclude its influence, If possible,
from social life.
Cultivators of the earth are the most
valuable citizens. They are the most Wig
orous, the most independent, the most
virtuous, and they are tied to their coun-
try and welded to it's liberty and inter-
est by the most lasting bonds.
Free government is founded i'll Jealousy
and not in confidence.
What has destroyed the liberties and
rights of man in every government which
has ever existed under the sun? The con-
centrating all powers in one body, no mat
ter whether of the autocrats of Russia
or of the aristocrats of the Venetian sem
ate.
An elective despotism was not the gov
ernment we fought for but one which
should not only be founded on free prln-
ciples, but in which the powers of govern
ment should be so divided and balanced
among several bodies of magistracy, as
that no one could transcend their legal
limits without being effectually checked
and restrained by the others.
Education is the only sure foundation
that can be devised for the preservation
of freedom and happiness.
1t has been thought that corruption is
restrained by conflning the right of suf-
frage to a few of the wealthier of the peo-
pie; but 1t would be more effectually re-
strained by an extension of that right to
such numbers as would bid defiance to

FAITHFUL PARTISAN.

When another day is ending
One more, sadly like them all
And the western tints are bleding
Ger the shadows, as they fall,
Eyes grown dim, like fading embers,
AS he steps inside the gate,
CLEAN again, for he remembers
That the baby thinks he's great.
In the busy worlds commotion
Few have paused to call his name;
Y ct this wee ones fond devotion
Speaks with praise more sweet than
fame.
Cares he long since thought to Danish
Still may lurk, though life grows late;
Foes Tay smile and friends may vanish,
But the baby thinks he's great.
Time, in silence, as it passes
Many hero puts to rout
Older lads and wiser lasses
Loving still, have learned to doubt.
Yet, now well it's worth deserving,
Worth another stand 'gainst fate,
Loyalty like this, unswerVing-
For the baby thinks he's great.

Instead of embarrassing commerce un-

its shackles in all parts of the world;
could every country be employed in pro-
ducing that which nature has best fitted
it to produce, and each be free to ex-
change with others mutual surpluses for
mutual wants, the greatest mass possible
would then be produced of those things
which contribute to human life and hap

Attorney Pha1en Makes an Impas-
stoned Plea for Defendant.

CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-The entire day
in the Luetgert trial was taken up by
Attorney Phelan, who spoke for the de-
Tense He made an impassioned plea
for his client, accused the police of in
timidating the witnesses for the de-
fense and denounced many of those
who had appeared for the State as per-
jurers.
He declared that the chain of cir
cumstantial evidence. on which Assist
ant States Attorney McEwan had
dwelt at so great length during his ad-
dress 20 the jury. was not chain of
circumstantia1 evidence at all, out a
fragmentary collection Of distorted
facts. He found flaws without number
in the story furnished by the State,
and declared that no jury composed of
sensible men would for moment think
of returning a verdict or guilty on such
evidence.
He will continue to speak the greater
part of tomorrow, and viii then be
followed by Attorney Vincent for the
defense, who will close the arguments
in behalf of Luetgert-
States Attorney Deneen said to-day
that he would not consume over five
hours in his closing address for the
State on Saturday.
