RELIEF DEMANDED.



The grand jury. in its hnal return be-
fore the Lackawanna county court on
Monday, rcpor ted that there were 3lj true
and 7jj ignored bills comprised in their
work, and expressed regret that the law
did not permit them, in many cases. TO
place the costs upon aldermen who per-
sist in sending unimportant cases to court
for consideration.
Reform legislation with regard TO ;he
bringing of cases before aldermen or JUS
tices of the peace is badly needed in
Pennsylvania. The enormity of the COM
monwealth's costs in the appropriations
made by the commissioners in the re-
spective counties of the state is arousing
the concern OF officials and citizens SCner-
ally. Court after court there is Censure
of local magistrates for sending petty
cases to court, and yet nothing is done,
and the costs are generally imposed on
the taxpayers. Suggestion has been made
to place the costs on the offending JUS
tees. but the law points out no way in
which this can be done.
II is patent that there are but one OF
two reasons why some of the justices Of
the peace transgress i'm this particular
either to secure from the county the costs
that accrue as a result of such prosecu-
tions, or because of lack of legal know
ledge of what constitutes an indiCtable
ofense. 1t would seem. therefore, as
though the state law bearing on local
magistrates should be SO revised as to
direct that in towns of 1000 population
and upward only those learned in tie
law should be qualified for the response
biities of Il magistrate one thing is GER
tain, the placing of costs upon the tax
payers for so many ignored bills is un-
just, and calls for such reforms as are
needed to afford necessary relief.

Prove OF Be Still.

If. DR.. Swallow has evidence of Of
fetal malfeasanCe which is proper for
the inspection of the attorney general
of Pennsylvania. let him put it in legal
form, make duplicate copies of the
sworn testimony and present his in
formation to Hon. Henry G. McCor-
mick. If the latter shall then fail to
act upon it as required by law, DR..
Swallow with his duplicate copies will
have a prma facie case to put before
the people and he can go to them with
confidence that they will give him an
attentive hearing.
AS it is now, DR.. Swallow simply
asserts things and asks the people of
Pennsylvania to give to his uncorrob-
Grated assertions the credence due to
established truth. In this attitude he
apparently forgets that his recent con-
Viction in open court for the utterance
Of libel throws strong suspicion upon
the value of his unsupported word
In spite of the fuss which is being
made in his behalf by an organization
of vindictive Republicans carrying out
II Ol ldtllO1dl revenge the
people have not overlooked the fact
that the reverend doctor. himself a
peddler of nauseating scandal and an
intemperate maligner of public men,
stands before them bearing the stigma
of legal conviction for one of the
meanest of Crimes-the crime of trying
to rob an innocent man of his reputa-
tion.
There may be some persons in Penn
sylvania of naturally suspicious temp
erament who are willing to believe
this wholesale accuser without desir-
ing due and orderly proof that what
he charges is true: but they are not in
the majority by any manner of means.
To secure a following which will be of
substantial consequence he must do
more than fire off rapid-fire volleys of
vituperation; he must substantiate
those attacks in court.

AN EVERYDAY CASE.

She's tired of the daily round,
The teas, receptions and the calls
And freedom, therefore. must be found
Beyond the city's glaring walls!
She goes about with weary tread,
She meets you with "a languid stare,
'ris noon before she quits her bed,
All, she must nave the mountain air.
Yes, she must have the mountain air,
And thus escape the clty's roar
Or else put in the season where
The billows break upon the shore.
And he is weary of the grind.
The work that follows day by day,
And dark forebodinGs fill his mind
As he is forced to toll away.
He sees his neighbor loll at ease
And hears of trips to foreign lands,
Or cottages beside the seas,
And frets, but no one understands!-
He frets but no one understands,
For none but he, poor thrall is there
To hear her envious demands
For ocean trips and mountain air,
The city's roar is left bchind
Superbly dressed i'm fluffy white
She fiutters in the mountain wnd,
jaunt by day ahop by night
The admiration of her set!
How rapidly Time wings his tiight!-
An, life is worth the living yet,
Except for him, her weary mate
Who needs must stay behind 10 fret
And grind away to pay the freieht.

The Saratoga convention which nomi-
mated Colonel Roosevelt also cleared
up some matters appertaining to Gov
crnor Black. For one thing II was
shown by it's proceedings that Black
had made public his knowledge of the
existence of the eligibility affidavit as

therefore, stoop to questionable politi-
cal trick; and secondly that in tempor-
airy personal defeat he Is yet a man
and Republican, not a sorehead.
Blacks manly treatment of Roosevelt
has probably won him more friends
who are worth having than he ever
had before; ana it is only question
of time when the seeming reverse of
the moment will be amply adjusted.
There is room and honor enough in the

Regarding LdzoD.


From the Phila 1elpha Press.
61 HE reDresC natives of Aguinaldo
and the Tagals who are now IN
Washington before they return
will undoubtedly be convinced that
neither the government nor the
the people of the United States has any
purpose or policy in Manila or Luzon cx-
cept to secure the largest commercial
prosperity for the island and the largest
practicable measure of self-goVcrnma ant
possible for its inhabitants. If Spain had
thus governed its colonial empire war
would never have come, and Manila is to-
day in the hands of the United States,
first and chiefly because Spain refused
to follow these two sound principles in its
colonial administration.
o
The United States is bound, in pasSi lg
on the claim presented by AguinalGO and
his armed forces, to ask not whether this
special body and organization. holding
part of LuZon and by race representing a
still smaller part of it's population, desires
independence" but what is best for Ma
Mia and its inhabitants and for Luzon
and its score of contesting and conflict
ing tribes. IT would doubtless suit the
Tagals to have the island turned over to
them on the ground that they and they
alone are "FilipinOs"; but in fact, they
are not A large Chinese, Malay and mer-
Manila all of which is opposed to Tagdr
rule and breads its appearance. Outside
of the relatively marrow limits of the
Tagal district there are coast and intc-
ror Malay tribes-negritos on the north;
east coast, and i'm the interior many sep
arate tribes, each with its own indcpend-
ent claim to manage its own affairs.
o
For all these opposed and hostile inter-
ests the United States is for a season,
and when the treaty of peace is signed,
will in all probability, permanently be-
come, guardian and trustee. II has no
right TO subject the interests of a large
industrious and orderly Chinese colony
in Manila to the oppression which such
colonies have uniformly received in Sing
apore. in Penang and Malaysia in lahore
and Sarawak. from Malay and semi-Ma
lay rule, such as the Tagals would un-
dOubtedly establish. because men OF
closely similar race and development
have always dore so elsewhere. The re-
moval of superior civilized force woula
undoubtedly turn the upper third OF
Luzon into hOtbed of tribal wars. rake
away the protection afforded by gum
boats and MALAY pirates from Palawan
and tke Sulu Islands, would begin again
the raids which i'm the past drove the in
dustrious farming coast population of
Mindoro into the interior and destroyed
! the trade and production or the island.
The plain duty of the United States is
| TO keep the peace between these races and
| promote the prosperity of all and the de-
| Velopment of each, Under these condi-
tions, with a population a large share OF
