Mercy and Justice.

The following article is from the
editorial columns of the Knoxville
(Tenn. Journal and is worthy care
full perusal by and the thoughtful con-
sideration of every American citizen
that loves law and order. This is what
the Journal said:
Many criminals understand human
nature and when in trouble play to the
sympathy of the tender hearted, hoping
and believing that mercy will overcome
Justice. There is no nobler passion
that sways the human heart, within
proper limits, than that of Mercy. 1t
adorns our nature and aids in idealizing
men as having been created by Divine
Creator, but, like every other attribute
of human nature, it is often abused.
Justice should ALWAYS be tempered with
mercy, but it should not be lost sight of
entirely Justice to the criminal is
mercy to the community. The object
of laws is to protect the weak and the
virtuous against the strong and the
vicious. A mans property is the
reward for his industry and his
frugality. both cardinal virtues his life
is given him by his God, and no man
has a right to deprive him of it. except
it be necessary to save his own life or
that of some one dependent upon him.
Mercy is commendable always, but
where justice is forgotten, throttled and
overthrown, liberty degenerates into
license and vice runs riot.

Fleming VS.. Stahl.

Judge Rogers, of the Federal court at
Fort Smith, handed down an important
decision December %, in case in
volving the construction of the civil
service law. 1t was the case of w. J.
Fleming vs. S. F. Stahl. Fleming was
an office deputy under ex Marshal J.
G. Crump. Stahl was appointed by
President Mckinley to succeed Crump.
Stahl undertook to remove Fleming,
and the latter brought suit against Stahl
to restrain him from making the re.
moval, alleging in his bill that the
position of office deputy to United States
marshals was by order of President
Cleveland placed upon the qualified
civil service list, and that by virtue of
such order all Office deputy marshals
were exempt from removal for political
and religious reasons and were to hold
Office during good behavior, and that
his removal was about to be made
because he WAS a Democrat. A tempo.
rary restraining order was granted by
the court at the time of the filing of the
bill, and up to this time Fleming and
Stoltz, the man appointed by Stahl to
succeed him, have both been at the
desk in the office. The decision was
rendered on demurrer to the bill and
a motion to dissolve the injunction.
The court held that it had no jurisdic
ton to restrain removal upon the
facts stated in the bill. In regard to
the effect of the order of the president
by which Office deputy marshals were
placed in the classified civil service the
court said THE civil service law
never contemplated that the president
or the commission, or both, could make
any rule or regulation which could have
the force and effect of law. True, the
president may make rules and regula-
tions administrative in their nature
which would govern the policy of his
administration, and he could enforce
the same by the removal of any person
from Office who refused to abide there
by, but they could not have the force
and effect of law nor would the courts
enforce them. Such rules and regula-
tions are purely administrative and
may be altered, amended or approved
by the president at any time, or by his
successor in Office. -

Deficit and Dingfeyism.

| From the St. Louis Republic.
Honest and outspoken advocates of
Dingleyism frankly admit that the
system of taxation devised by their
party is inadequate to cover the require
ments of government.
They also pursue the logical path to q
| fiscal policy.
Face to face with deficit, says
one conscientious organ of the false and
unseientifie taxing system. congress
must increase taxation. No more
concise statement of the philosophy of
Republican government has ever been
made. Pile the taxes upon the backs of
the country's producers of wealth so
that the favored few who are benefited
by the burden of taxation may reap
while the masses are staggering under
the load
Mckinley has been president only
nine months. His party during the
same period has been in undisputed
control of all departments of govern
ment. The treasury was in very good
condition when Mckinley and his party
assumed control A tariff measure,
approximately Democratic, was rapidly
bringing receipts up to expenditures.
A balance of these two accounts was in
sight
Mr.. Mckinley and his party have run
the government fifty millions behind in
the nine months of their tenure. Their
ablest tariff experts admit that the
Dingley bill will continue to produce
deficit. II the present rate is main
tanned the deficit will exceed two
hundred million dollars at the expir-
alton of Mckinley term. To prevent
this the party must either abandon
Dingleyism or assume responsibility for
another issue of bonds. The president
is not made of the stuff which willingly
assumes responsibility. He begs to be
relieved from the compulsion of a bond
ISSUE But his party will hesitate to
reopen the tariff or taxation question.
His position, as we'll as that of his
party. is the most unenviable known to
the politics of the country in many
years.

For Passing Counterfeit Money.

or Passing SOunt0TTeit mOIley.
AT the instance of Ed Williams, clerk
at H. G.. Pernot's queensware store,
Policeman Pyle last Friday evening
arrested a man giving his name as
Barsh for attempting to pass counter
felt dollar. Just before the officer
reached him he was seen to throw
something into the muddy street, which
was found to be more of the spurious
coins, and several other pieces were
found in his pockets on being searched.
Barsh was taken to Jail and next day
turned over to the U. s. authorities at
Fort Smith, where he made an alleged
confession, duplicating man named
Ben Farris, a tenant on one of d. W.
Moore's s farm, stating that the moulds
would be found in chest at Farris
house. Officers arrested Farris and
found the chest, which contained
several spurious dollars and some
babbitt metal, but no moulds. Farris
was also taken to Fort Smith, but
denied any connection with the matter,
except that he had taken Barsh in some
months ago while sick and had allowed
him to stay since at his house. Farris
is given good name by Mr.. Moore and
others and they express their belief in
the mans innocense. Barsh is an
ignorant looking country youth.
Barsh had his examination before the
U. S. Commissioner Thursday and
plead guilty to the charge of attempting
to pass counterfeit money. Farris will
have his examination next week.
