Abroad and at Home.

OF course, the difficulties which
Zola is having getting his defence
before the French court are revolt
ing to our free American ideas.
That French officers having
knowledge Of case so profoundly
affecting the national honor would
refuse to enter the witness box is
certainly shocking. Nothing Of
the sort could occur here. No in
deedl Here we are all for justice,
for plain speaking, for turning on
the light at any cost.
But stop a minute. Wasn't there
an occurrence out in Columbus,
Ohio. a week or two ago, which
nearly parallels the court proceed
ure in Zola's case2 A committee
of the Legislature was investigat-
ing a matter which touches more
nearly the heart Of our political
system than do the issues OF the
Dreyfus case that OF France. 1t
was trying to discover whether
Mark Hanna had been elected to
the United States Senate by brib-
cry, as has been widely charged
and as is generally believed.
A man charged with offering a
,bribe to a representative was
called to the stand. II decline to
answer" was his reply to every
question. The manager OF tele-
graph office was called. II de-
cline to answer" was the parrot
like refrain. Two other witnesses
set at naught the authority OF the
committee and covered up the
truth in the same way.
In Paris Zola is trying to prove
that a traitor is being shielded and
an honest man martyred by the
action of a corrupt military ring.
The ring exerts its power to sup
press his evidence. In Ohio Dem,
ocrats are eendeavoring to show that
an essentially corrupt man has
been put in a position OF national
trust by bribery and corruption
The forces which made Hanna
Senator are now employed to de.
feat the purposes Of the investiga.
ton. The Two incidents are al
most parallel.

Amending the Raines Law.

A bill Is pending at Albany to
amend the Raines law. 1t reduces
the tax for wine and beer dealers
and is advocated by the original
sponsors Of the Raines law on the
ground that "we must recognize
public sentiment"
But the right thing to do with
the Raines law is to repeal It. Its
fault is not that it taxes vine and
beer sales too high, but that it robs
the cities Of revenues that properly
belong to them and gives the
money to the rural districts. 1t
makes the dive llers in cities pay
the taxes OF the coUnirymen, and
the only public sentiment" that
supports this law is that Of the
chuckling benehciaries OF this
shifting of taxation.
The law is vicious in other ways.
1t operates unjustly and oppress-
lively between different classes OF
dealers. 1t invites fraud, false
pretense, evasion and trickery. So
far from lessening it has increased
drunkenness.
The only thing that would cure
its defects would be Its repeal.

Secret Sc ssions.

Secret or executive" sessions
have an irresistible fascination for
two, varieties of the current legis-
lative mind.
The FIRST variety is the mind that
moves by such devious ways to
such doubtful ends that publicity
is as hateful to it as is daylight to
the "foul and pestilent shades Of
night" Like all other creatures
Of the predatory type, it hides when
the sun is abroad and prowls and
pounces in the stealthy security OF
darkness.
The second variety is the mys-
terry loving mind. 1t fancies that
il It can drape about itself the mys
terious cloak OF night its trivial
operations will assume in the pop
ular Imagination vast, vague and
formidable shapes Of fear and awe.
Wherever there are legislative
bodies. whether in the Capitol at
Washington or in the City Hall at
New York, there these two vari-
eties-the wicked and the weak
seem to be together in the maj ajority.

public servants in a democratic re-
public is either rotten or ridicu-

The Defeat OF Leprosy and Loot.

The Defeat OF Leprosy and Loot.
The Hawaiian treaty is in effect
defeated in the Senate.
Mr.. Tellerhas admitted so much.
The two-thirds vote, he said, is
impossible.
The next move is to carry out
the policy OF leprosy and loot by
bill, requiring only majority vote
in both houses.
But even that movement seems
likely to fail. 1t was reported that
Speaker Reed would "jam 1t
through" but that report is denied.
Mr.. Reed is NOT a fool. He knows
that so far from helping the Re-
publican party procedure OF this
kind would be disastrous to it.
Speaker Reed is just now
in charge OF the Republican
party's interests as well as
OF the conduct OF Congress. II is
in the highest degree improbable
that he will let any annexation bill
go through. 1t fact, the news is
that he will oppose it with all his
practically unlimited power.
Leprosy and loot seem to be
beaten.

MARRIAGE AND MORALS.

Ladies are becoming so learned and
advanced that male comment must fol-

Morality OF Marriage" (Redway) The
work opens with the startling remark
Fear, the ruling motive Of primitive
worship" "With my body thee wor.
ship" says the bridegroom in the mar
riage service, and we are perfectly ready
to grant that the married mans worship
OF his wife is commonly associated with
fear, in quite a primitive way. He has,
as Mr. Stevenson says, domesticated the
Recording Angel, and the recording
Angel in the House" is an awful,
though salutary presence. However.
this is modern development. We at
once join issue with Mrs. Card as to fear
being the ruling motive Of worship with
our untutoTed ancestors.
Mrs. Card is nearer 10 modern level
when she remarks on kinship having
been, at early periods, reckoned through
Romen. Smith weds Miss Brown, the
children are Browns. Among certain
Scotch fisher folk now, if John Smith
marries Mary Brown. his name becomes
John Smith Brown, though we believe
the children are counted as Smiths. But
we must not hastily conclude that where
children follow the mother. women, in
the old phrase, rule the roast. The
Australians, or some Of them, have
female klnshIp, but the women are ex.
cluded from the great religious services
as rigldly as from COLUMBIAN monastic
establishments. There is little doubt,
however. from documents, that in
ancient Egypt at one time the wife was
legally very independent. On the whole,
however. through polygamy and the
patriarchal system, and improving NOR
alltY, man soon began to think he knew
his own children (rather a compliment
than otherwise to woman), and to rule

MANY a brute OF a husband makes his
beautiful intellectual wife live in the

The Captain should Explain.

Captain Mahan is undoubtedly
luminous authority on all prob
lens involving naval warfare, so it
is hoped he will add an explana-
ton to his dictum that we need the
Sandwich Islands for the protec-
ton Of our Pacific seaboard from
naval attack.

this:
Just in what way would the task
OF defending the Pacific seaboard
without the islands be diminished

A Conspiracy TO Tax Knowledge.

A Conspiracy TO Tax Knowledge.
The principal paper manufactu-
rers of the country have formed
themselves into trust, with $751;
600, 900 capital.
The purpose is to monopolize
the business, raise the price Of
paper So a ton and levy upon the
newspaper and book readers OF the
land tax OF not less than $4,000 :
900 year.
There are seventeen mills in the
trust, and they purpose to drive all
the other mills out OF existence, so
that they may charge what price
they please for the paper on which
newspapers are printed.
This is a conspiracy to tax
knowledge, to levy tribute upon
education, TO blackmail intelli-
gence itself.
Unfortunately the tariff duties
aid the conspiracy. They not only
prevent Canadian and other foreign
competition in the sale of paper,
but they exclude Canadian wood
pulp. The free admission Of wood
pulp and paper would go far to
crush the conspiracy.
What is to be done about the
matter1 Will any Attorney Gen
eral enforce the laws against such
conspiracies in restraint oi trader
Will Congress seeIng clearly that
the paper and pulp duties thus aid
and abet robbery, repeal those
duties7 Or is cheap paper to be-
coUe a thing of the past, and all
its benefits to the people in the way
of cheap newspapers, cheap maya
zines and inexpensive books to be
lost1
These questions closely concern
the most vital intellectual interests
Of the nation.

smooth as HIS OIL.

Certain of the pious youth OF
New York must surely still re-
member the instructive moment
when Mr.. John ID. Rockefeller ap-
peared before them with a well
thumbed memorandum book in his
hands and told them Of the little
earnings and modest benefcences
of his youth. They listened spell
bound while he told Of earnings OF
six dollars a week. and gifts oil IS
cents to foreign missions, 10 cents
to Bible societies, and various sums
to diverse religious beneheiaries.
And when the multi-millionaire,
trying to look as If he yearned Tor
the days of penury again, closed
by saying that he held it the duty
Of every man to get all the money
he could no estly, and then give
it all away, his auditors felt that
here indeed was true guide for
youth through lies thorny path.
When the Ohio Legislature IS
not electing corruptionists and
brlbers to the United States Sen
ate it is usually engaged in inves-
tigating the methods by which Mr.
Rockefeller gets his money-"hon-
estly." 1t was so employed Mon
day last when John Teagle, an oil
re6ner, testified before it. Mr..
Teagle swore that the agents ot
John d. Rockefeller tried to bribe
his bookkeeper, with an offer Of
$50 a week, to give the Standard
Oil Company information regard
ing his shipments, prices, cost OF
manufacture, etc. The bookkeeper
pretended to be complaisant, and
actually received one payment tor
helping Mr.. Rockefeller to under
mine his employers business.
1t seems that Bibles are not the
only books which interest Mr..
Rockefeller-the books Of his
competitors also engage his atten-
ton. And perhaps in his memo
randum OF charitable disburse-
ments now he puts down the sums
benevolently paid to INDECENT en-
ployes Of his business rivals in con-
sideration oi their treacherY to
their employers. AT any rate, Mr..
Rockefeller is living up to the first
part OF his counsel to aspiring
youth. He is getting all the money
he can. We note that the dividends
paid to this eminent churchman
and philanthropist from his Stand

estimated at S7,Soo, ,oce-and still

Incidents ofthe wnkesbarre Trial.

Probably Judge Woodward, who
complains that the newspapers are
garbling the reports of the trial OF
Sheriff Martin and his murderous
deputies, will not deny that he per-
mitted this body OF men, indicted
tor manslaughter, to 60 in perfect
freedom. unsecured even by bail
bonds, from Saturday to Monday.
This is a matter of court record
which no newspaper dare falsify,
and which the Judge responsible
for the suggestive piece of iavorit-
ism cannot deny-though we can
readily imagine he would like to.
Could miner under indictment
for stealing a fitch of bacon from a
company store secure from Judge
Woodward the benevolent treat
ment he extended to men who, in
the service of corporations, COM
mitted a score Of homicides7
Monday the Court, under pres
sure from the prosecution, fixed
the bail for the entire body Of in
dicted men at S34o, 900. This may
be regarded as pretty cheap price
to put upon the pleasant Pennsyl-
vania practice OF shooting strikers.
II we regard the bail as fixing che
measure Of responsibility OF each
man indicted, we find that about
$4,000 stands as the courts esti-
mate Of the price to be paid for
joining in a wholesale massacre.
Or if it represents the value which
the Commonwealth puts on its cit
izens who have been murdered, we
discover that each dead miner is
appraised at SI7,ooo-that is, il we
discard the wounding OF more than
fifty as factor in fixing the amount
Of bail. However, this latter cal
culation is obviously absurd. In
the palmy days Of slavery mig
ger" was worth only about 81, 200,
and the wages Pennsylvania coal
company pays to its miners would
scarcely pay interest on more than
halt ofSI7,ooo.
1t is curious fact that the gross
amount of this bond S34o, 900
was put up in cash in one lump.
The Sheriff and his deputies seem
to be very fortunate in their friends.
Not men Of large means them
selves, they are defended by an
army OF high priced lawyers. The
discomfort attendant upon their
trial is mitigated by their being
entertained at the best hotel. Bail
is speedily found for them, and in
cash. The cash feature is signifi-
cant. Sometimes money doesn't
talk, despite the old saw. 1t can
be employed as security for bond
without betraying the identity OF
him by whom it is deposited. The
Sheriff's friends are modest. They
don't want to schedule real estate
and thus disclose themselves, so
thev go down into the accumulated
savings OF lifetime of thrift and
bring out Ii tie pittance Of S34o,.
900 for his use. Fortunate Sheriff.
Happy deputies!

ness OF employing French officer as a
spy, and shrinks with more than ordl.
nary sensitiveness because II is so nee.
essary that suspicion should fall on any

who say that Russia was the offending
Power. Baron Won Buelow would not
hint a suspicion that such is the case.
But a little unpleasautness between

profitable for Germany. The Baron's
speech is not quite convincing but it is
very timely.
