Law VS.. Justice.
rom wilkesbarre Record.

From Wilkesbarre Record.
Judge Schuyler, of Northampton
county, in making a decision in one
of the numerous fights between the
two contending factions of the Evan.
gelical church for the possession OF
church property, made a statement
which, if correctly reported, would
seem to show that in this case the
law was the means of doing an in
justice of so grave a nature that it
cannot fail to attract attention. This
is the remarkable language employed
by the Judge;
by the decree we are about to
make, the defendant will in effect be
deprived of the privilege OF worship
ing in a church edifice erected by
themselves at cost of over $1,000
without dollar of compensation
But the law on the subject is mex
orable. Whether it's rigid enforce
ment should have been invoked in
the present case involves a question
of conscience over which we have no
Jurisdiction. That is a question for
the decision of higher than any
earthly tribunal, and there we leave
it."
Such a decree will appear to those
who believe in right and justice as
simply monstrous. What kind of a
law is that which deprives people of
the property for which they paid and
gives it to those who have no equi-
table claim ID it As is well known,
the Evangelical church has for years
been involved in litigation between
two factions, one familiarly known as
the Dubsites and the other as the
Bowmanites. The particular church
property in the above case is located
at Bangor, in Northampton county.
A church edihce was erected at cost
exceeding $4,000. The congregation
adhered to the Dubsites, whereupon
the Bowmanites instituted proceed
ings for possession. Those who had
built and paid for the church made a
valiant fight for their property, but,
as will be seen by the above from
Judge Schuyler's decision, the law
compelled him to decide that they
must surrender it to those who had
no claim whatever in justice and
equity. That the judge made tins
decision with great reluctance is APP
parent from his language. His refer
ence to it as a case involving "a ques.
tion of conscience was stinging
rebuke to those who have invoked
the law to perpetrate so gross an in
justice. 1t is clearly case Of law vs.
justice, and a great wrong has been |
done by authority of law, and the
question involuntarily arises, why
ioes such a law exist

Washington, Dec. Commissioner
Of Pensions Evans has been giving
some attention to proposition where

before the office may be dispensed with
and their work done by officials under
government supervision. Discontinu-
Ing the services of the attorneys would
result in great saving to both PEN
stoners and the government, and LA
bility to frauds in issuing pensions
would be reduced to minimum. Tho

CARDINAL GIBBONS and a number
of leading citizens of Baltimore are
interested in an organization of the
Anti-Vivisection Society Of Maryland,
the efforts of which will be directed
mainly against the Johns Hopkins
University Medical School and Hos
pital on account of The vivisection
practiced there. Vivisection is said
to be practiced more freely in
Baltimore than in any other
city. The society announces that it
will make test cases on the charge of
cruelty to animals against number
of vivisectors. Vivisection is claimed
to be extremely useful to medical
science in discovering the value of
new remedies and theories OF treat
ment which may save the life of
human beings But there is said to
be needless and heartless cruelty
practiced by the vivisectors, hence
the action above mentioned.

THE ROUTE TO fnH KloND1kB.


Captain Robinson Declares the ska
quay Route the Best.
Washington, Dec. s1-Secretary Al
ger has received two reports from Cap
tain Robinson, the contract quorter-
master at Seattle, touching the respec-
tive merits Of the different trails lead
ing from the seaboard into the Klon-
dixie country He made a thorough in
quiry at the direction OF the secretary,
and In substance his conclusions, reach
ed after conference with Jack Dalton
and other experts, Is that the Dalton
trail is not well adapted to the uses
of the government expedition during
the winter, hut that the Skaguay route
is probably the best. The captain says
he has had an interview with one man
who claims to have 10000 pounds Of
beef stored at Lake Bennett, which he
is willing to sell at 81 per pound. The
same man says he has 10000 pounds
of corn and 20 or 30 horses at the same
place with which he proposes to or
ganize a sled train into Dawson. Cap
tain Robinson says himself that his
opinion is that the difficulty of reaching
Dawson has been very much exag-
gerated- and that a good army officer
could maize his way in with an expe-
ditiOn. Montana horses should be used.

AS Senator Stewart, the patriarchal
silver orator and bicycle rider, was one
day passing through one of the small
parks of Washington he met a lady who
is engaged in performing heroic work
for the independence of Cuba. In the
course Of brief conversation the lady
asked the senator If he did not think
President Mckinley would soon do
something toward terminating the re-
bellion. Receiving negative reply,
she expressed considerable surprise
and said:
why, it looks to me as il this ad-
ministration should take some action,
Everybody has expected great things
from Mr.. Mckinley in the direction of
freeing Cuba. You do not mean to tell
me that he has lost all interest in the
matter?"
NO" said the senator, at is not
that. But, mortifying as the confess
sion is, the truth must be told. AS a
matter of plain fact Mr.. Mckinley has
but very little influence with the pres
ent administration, and hence there is
no likelihood of anything definite and
beneficial being done for Cuba"
