The Fec Nuisance.

Very general notice has been taken
by the state press of the portion of
Judge Woodward's recent charge to the
Luzerne county grand jury which re-
ferred to the abuse of the fee system
by committing magistrates. The case
in point cited in that charge is receiv-
ing attention-that Of a man who, after
being held to trial on a minor COM
plant, did not get into court until
there had been nineteen continuances
with a bill of costs exceeding $4,000
which was finally saddled upon the
county.
The Philadelphia Inquirer strikes
close to the truth when it remarks that
"appeals TO magistrates and justices Of
the peace viii not remedy the matter.
They have been made many times be-
fore, and always with the same result.
The abolition Of the fee system viii
correct the evil. When the number Of
cases returned means nothing i'm a
financial sense to the committing mag

work at first from a new press, but the
pages of The Tribune today show up with
a beautiful clearness which demonstrates
the perfect adjustment of this wonder
full machine. We congratulate The Trib-

there. Eight deaths in Bitche were caused
by $4,000 shells, or 5000 shells for each
man killed. In Mezieres 300 were killed
but it required $4,000 shells to do the
job. Then there was Thonville, into
which Sc,OC0 shells were thrown, with the
result that two were killed, and finally
Longwy which received during the siege
10000 shells without losing a single man.
At Murfreesborough it took 27 cannon

Harmony.

1t will please every earnest Republi-
can to know that the prospects are at
last excellent for a restoration of har-
mony in the party in Pennsylvania.
The bitter factionalism of the past two
years has not been without it's usetul-
ness in. stimulating political activity
but at the same time it has kept mat
1ers of government in a state of fluctu-
alton and uncertainty, has engendered
i'll feeling beyond due reason and al
together has done very much more
harm than good.
The great mass Of Republicans have
grown somewhat weary of the continu-
al charges and recriminations that have
characterized the politics of Pennsyl-
vania for a considerable period and
would hail as a relief a condition of
affairs which would eliminate to some
extent the srotter, the informer, the
mercenary and the paid spy from the
vicinity of legislative chambers and
convention halls, and clear the atmos-
phere of some of the prevailing smell
of sulphur and birthstone.
1t is fitting that the restoration of
harmony should be upon the basis of
a general recognition by active politi-
clans of the leadership of Senator Quay
in state affairs, and of home rule in
the politics of Philadelphia. Efforts to
dislodge the senator from control of the
state organization have so repeatedly
proved futile that those who yearn to

THE DICKINSON VERDICT.

Rochester Chronicle: at strikes us that
this verdict Is inconsistent on its face ard
must be set aside. If we correctly under
stand the case the issue of fact TO be de-
cided by this jury was this: Was or was
not this plaintiff, being sane, Illegally, un-
justihably and malicously deprived of her
liberty and confined among lunatics in an
insane asylum, under the false pretcNt
that she was insane" This issue of fact
the jury, by its verdict, has decided in
favor of the plaintiff. 1t declares that a
sane woman has been Illegally and un-
justfiably branded as insane, falsely i'm
prisoned among Mnatics and deprived If
her liberty and the control of her property,
and then sapiently concludes that because
of all this she has suffered only nominal
damages. How can this verdict possibly
be sustainable? Is ii not plain that II
Anna Dickinson is entitled to any damages
al all she must be entitled to very sub
stantial damages? If any member of that
jury is ever so unfortunate as to be COM
mitted to an asylum for the care of the
weak-minded, in his view unjustly, it viii!
hardly be worth his while TO bring an ac-
ton for damages for false impris sonment.
The fact that he helped to find this idiouc
verdict would of course, be put in cvi-
dence by the defendants and would, doubt
less be held sufficient to Justify them and
bar recovery"
Philadelphia Ledger: 1.-THE verdict Of
six and a quarter cents damages, given TO
Anna Dickinson in her suit, was abOJt
as unsatisfactory in effect as 1t was in
amount. 1t was a reproof to the plaintiff
while nominally convicting the defend
ants, 1t virtually said that while she
was not insane, she was so near 1t that
her friends were justified in sending her
to an asylum, and therefore she was not
entitled to recover damages for the as
sault upon her and the restraint of her
liberty. 1t will be seen that the main
question, whether the plaintiff was sane
or insane, is not settled at all by the
| jury's finding. If imprisoned while sane,
| she was entitled to far heavier damages
| than the jury gave her. If insane at the
| time and properly immured, she was en-
titled to no damages at all. 1t was not
| case for such compromise verdict as the
| jury brought in"
| -:ll:-
| Philadelphia Times; Her earnest strug-
| giles as author and actor presented the
| first positive failure in her career, Since
| then she has never been wholly herself,
| and her aggressive efforts, often ma lc
with moro courage than wisdom, to main
| tain the proud position she had won, have
done much to obscure her early and grand
| er achievements. She should be remem-
bered only as the Anna e. Dickinson Of a
| generation ago"
! -:I':--
Rochester t-EXpress:-"Poor Anna
| Dickinson! She gets six and a quarter
cents damages from the parties against
! whom she brought suit for her alleged un-
warranted Incarceration IN the Danville
/ Insane asylum i'm lS9l--a technical verdict
in her favor, but moral verdict against
her. The result is a pitiful ending of a

Within her home soft tints abound
In blessed harmony;
Luxurious chairs are scattered round,
And books one loves to see.

An air that's pure, refined,
All that the heart may well desire
Within her home l find.
And so I ponder hour by hour
The problem, Which is right?
How can | pluck this sun.it flower
And take it from the light?
l think of my own humble cot.
Sweet girl, she does not know
How much she'll miss the dear old spot
When she has left it. No!
This sacrifice she shall not make.
Although she may prefer
In innocence this step to take,
I'd rather live with her.

Adding to the twenty-five southern Re-

gross the six southern votes cast by Dem

double that which has existed in any pre-
Ceding congress since reconstruction
days, and that with the exception of the
period in which the free trade sentiment
swept over the country in the election OF
the Fifty-second and Fifty-third congress-
es, there has been steady growth of Re-
