Judge Woodward remained silent.

! ouuSe hoouNdTu TendlHcu SlleHU.
District Attorney Martin was no less
eloquent than his opponent, but his
speech contained none of the rather
sensational features that made Mr..
Palmer particularly interesting. Mr..
Martin confined himself altogether to
the evidence in the case and sifted it
carefully, while his generalites were
all based upon the evidence. He alb
stained from personalities and did the
best any man could in speaking against
verdict already agreed upon.
When Mr.. Martin concluded, Judge
Woodward charged the jury and at $50
o'clock they retired to prepare the YER
dict After defining the laws on rioting
and other points in the trial, the Judge
said:
"There is no law, either by statutory
enactment or by any decision of our
courts, to prevent laboring men from
stopping work and going upon strike.
Nor is there any law which makes it Il
conspiracy for workingmen, in any de-
partment of human industry, to com
bne together, and by mutual agreemen,
to refuse employment until there has
been brought about a satisfactory ad-
iustment between their employers and
themselves upon the points at issue.
The defendants are all and jointly
indicted for the killing of the deceased .
The commonwealth, in the absence of
any proof as to who fired the fatal shot,
asks for conviction of all the defend
ants on the ground that the action of
the sheriff's posse was criminal action,
for which every one is equally respon-
sible in the contemplation of the law
The, law is, that where several persons
take part in the execution OF criminal
purpose all are equally liable for the
act of each, and for the incidental and
probable consequences of the joint pur-
pose.
The question whether the purpose of
the sheriff and his posse was criminal
one cannot be fairly answered without
comprehensive review of all the facts
and occurrences which led up to and
eliminated in the final volley fired by
the deputies, and which resulted in the
death OF the person named in the in
dctment.
IF the sheriff became satisfied, after
careful examination of the situation
in and about Hazleton, that the public
peace was threatened, that the people
were terrorzed and that there was dan
ger of riot if the demonstrations of the
men engaged in the strike were allowed
to proceed, he had the right, as the chief
officer of the county, to summon a\posse
to assist him in the preservation of order
and in the prevention of riot"

9.he Uiurl:ing.nan and Drink.

The Economic Aspect OF the LiGuOr
Question forms the subject OF an III
tcrcStin5 article III the current issues Of
the bulletin issued by the department
of labor 1t originated in desire to as
certain how the drinking habit affected
a mans chances OF obtaining employ
ment. Also to what extent men compel
led to do night work were influenced to
drink, and finally the best means for
lessening the consumption of liquors
generally.
Schedules of Inquiry were sent to
80, ala employers, but only 1923 sent
replies. They represented, however, a
total of l,745, 923 employees. The in
quiries were on general lines, such as
what consideration was given to q
mans habit regarding the use Of liq
uOrs, and how they made the lnvestiga
ton.
From the reports of 6,976 employers
who answered this question 1913 stated
the liquor habit was not considered by
them. The reasons generally ascrlhed
by the employers for prohibiting the
liquor habit among their worlsmen
were to guard against accident and re-
spousibility CT position. The reports
were surprising III one respect. Iney
/ showed that men accustomed to work
at night were no more addicted to the
use of intoxicants than Others
| So also with men who work over
hours. 1t has generally been supposed
they required and imbibed more stimu-
lants than others. The reports show to
the contrary The statistics show. az
generally supposed, that men drink
more directly after pay day than any
other time. The principal means given
by employers to prevent intoxication
} appears to be change Of pay day.

disease sanitariums, and others are en-
gagged in doing so. Thus the insurance
institution of Berlin intends to erect
large plant for curing pulmonary dis
cases. as we'll as other kinds Of Sickness
such as diseases of the stomach, nerves.
etc.
This establishment will be erected in
the neighborhood Of Berlin, in the
midst of a forest, at a cost OF about
5000, 900 marks. 1t is intended to
make it first class one, in which the
latest hygienio requirements will be
complied with. Work will be begun on
the buildings this summer, and they
will be completed in two years, and the
plans and models will be exhibited at
the Paris exposition. This movement
has spread, and sanitariums arc being
erected for all classes of people, and it
is beyond question that it will in time
greatly contribute toward diminishing
the scourge of consumption. However,
too exalted hopes should not be- enter
tanned by reason OF present success.
Another advantage has been gained
in calling the attention of workingmen
to this disease and its terrible effects
and to the possibility of suppressing it.
They are interested in the question and
think it over. The hygienic education
which the workingman receives in the
sanitarium is Of value after he has been
discharged from the establishment and
is impaired to the circle Of his family
and Of his acquaintance.
The total Of all the payments made
in the last decade by these three classes
of insurance amounts, during this pe-
riDd-that is, up to the end OF lS94-to
over one milliard of marks, which have
been spent for the workingmen. This
sum includes only expenditures for
working people, exclusive OF the cost OF
administration and exclusive Of the as
sets accumulated.
Has the German workingmen' in
surance met with the expected social
political results? He who believed that
Social Democracy would disappear from
the horizon as tie result of the work
ingmen insurance law will, of course
be greatly disappointed in his expecta
!, tions. Nor can it be asserted that the
German labor element has become bet
, ter satisfied. On the contrary, the de
, mands of the workingmen have risen
Nevertheless can affirm that the in
surance has already contributed mucl
, and is contributing more and more tt
bringing the German labor element on
of the Social Democratic utopianism tt
reasonable field of sound, practica
politics. The workingman realizes tina
, there exists in the present order of stat
and society a good field for the improve
ment of his material and moral situa
T tion and that it will even be possib]
for him to expect very much more Th
, insurance legislation and the organiza
tiOns created thereby still show man.
J defects, and the social political effect
OF this legislation will run pari pass
with the efforts being made to remov
/ these defects and to bring the orGaniza
tions to their highest perfection. Any
how, the social political legislation

"Populist Pluuocracy."

"POpultst PluJOCraCy.
Under the above caption last Satur-
day mornings Journal contained q
Humorous" political gem which any
one would recognize as being really
funny-if it had been plainly labeled.
The UNION presents portion of it.
Here it is:
Before the pop got office,
The pop saint would be;
And when the pop got office,
The pop saint was he.
Oh was he? I wish to ask the read
ers of the Journal if he paid the poor
mans rent when he was boosted into
Office and prosperity by his less fortu-
nate comrades in wailing? Did he avoid
the ways of the plutocrat and still wear
his whiskers "a la alfalfa?' Well, I
guess not. Has he walked to the leg
islature or paid his fare, and thus
avoided the stigma of a bribe by the
''grasp;ng corporations" Well, I
guess not. Has he done one single act
that has lightened the burdens of his
less fortunate comrades IN bowling?
Not that you can notice.
Has this contributor floundered
around in the mire of political luuacy
until he considers it the duty of this
m&ch-despised pop official to ''pay the
poor mans rent?" Former republican
ADMINISTRATORS left affairs in such
shape that the warrants ia which this
pop official was paid we're only worth
so cents on the dollar aud it kept the
poor devil busy to get enough out of
his salary to pay his own rent. Has
this ''humorist" sunk so deep into the
slough of partisan idiocy that he de-
mands that the populist official shall
wear his whiskers "a la alfalfa?" Ir
case the official should grant this de-
man6 the soul of this Bill Nye the Sec
ond would cry out and refuse to b6
comforted until the entire crop of pop
ulist whiskers,' in all their ma jesti<
grandeur, should be harvested and for
evec placed beyond reach of his trou
bled vision. And does this politica
''humorist" consider it the duty of pop
ulist officials to ''wslk to the legisl;i
ture?" We confess that the republi
can policy in this state has forced
good many people to walk" or stay a
home. And MS for ''walking to tn
legislature" we would advise even
populist legislator TO save his shoe
leather and ride on the train when
ever railroad pass is handy. W
recommend this process from persona
experience.
Then this poetical contributor goe
on and asks lot more questions {
aoout the same character rs the one
given and answers them himself. TIL
UNION would print the whole artlcl
if it had a grudge against its reader:
but u contributor with such narro,
guage mind as is evidenced in the a.
ticle here discussed is unworthy th
recognition which a clean discussio
would accord to him.

No UNDUE HASTE
At the Expense of Thorough
ness.
War Board VIII Not Chance Postponing q
Decisive Engagement for the Sake of
Engaging In Early SlSirmishes
Plans are Boing Cau-
tiously Made.

Washington, May 23.-When Admit
raj Cervera's fleet is Overhauled and
engaged by either Sampson or Schley,
it is expected to practically end the
war. For this reason, no undue haste
is being made. Both American fleets
are after the Spaniards, and are ex-
pected to annihilate the opposing fleet
when an engagement occurs.
The question of locating and engag-
ing feet on the open sea which is
trying to eyade an engagement is not
an easy task. 1t may take some time
to accomplish this result, but 1t will
be thoroughly done. 1t is not the in
tention to merely cripple the fleet and
allow part of it to run away. Orders
have been issued to capture or destroy
the entire fleet, and no chances are to
be taken merely to bring about an
early engagement in response to a
popular feeling that an early engage
ment is desirable. Such battle will
Immediately be followed by the most
vigorous actions 1t is possible to make
ia Cuba. Defenses will be bombarded
and the entire available force of the
army will be poured into that coun try
in overwhelming numbers, so that the
eoDquest will be short and vigorous.
With the destruction of the fleet, it
is supposed Spanish revolution will
occur which will end the war as far
as sending relief expeditions, either to
Cuba or the Philippines is concerned.

CLIMATIC CONDITIONS IN CUBA.
Yellow Fever and Malaria Confined to the
Coast.


New York, May ga meeting of
Cuban physicians was held at the Red
Cross hospital today to discuss the eff
feet of climate diseases in Cuba. Dr.
Munoz, recently chief of the civil hos
pital In Havana, was made chairman,
and DR.. Sollosa, until recently surgeon
in the Spanish army, was present.
The points determined were that men
from the United States suffer more
disease in Cuba than men from sout n
ern countries. OF the Spanish soldiers
who have gone to Cuba, rs per cent.
have suffered from malaria and 25 per
cent. from yellow fever. Deaths have
occurred in about 25 per cent. of the
cases. The seriousness of the disease
in Cuba has depended on the seasons
and location. Malaria has prevailed
during the entire year, and yellow fe-
yer only during the months of August,
September, October and November
Yellow fever prevails mostly on the
coast and in the cities. At distance
of eight 20 ten miles from the coast
and in the mountains the island is
healthy during the entire year.
The physicians came to the conclu-
sion, from their observations, that dis
eases do not spread as rapidly, nor are
they as severe, as on the southern
coast of Florida.

Belief That His Fleet is Entrapped in

Washington, May 25.-The Spanish
fleet is reported to be in Santiago hRr-
Dor. If SO, it is probably bottled up
by one of the two American squadrons
which are supposed to be on the south
of Cuba. The report is persistenly
circulated, and comes from London,
Madrid and Key West, yet it cannot be
confirmed. Secretary Long sage he
has no dispatches, yet his personal
opinion is that the Spanish fleet is still
at San tiago de Cuba, and he believes it
will not escape from there. One of the
cables connecting Santiago with the
outside world has been destroyed, and
the other one soon will be- This will
shut off communication with the out
