Benefits of Two Games in One.


One Of the old residents in the rural

the two young men from the city as they
played chess. The game was long one
and he ventured to interrupt:

you Is to get them wooden objects from
wherc they are over TO where they
ain't?"

one

goin' to lose some on emf

HE UNMISTAKABLE public
interest displayed in the
Il trial of the case of the COM
monwealth for Ezra II. Rip
pie against Richard Little and Michael
j. OToole is fully justified by the very
important features of testimony and
law which this case has developed.
Some of these features we deem it
proper to reserve for consideration un-
til after the trial shall have reached its
conclusion in the form of published
verdict; but in the charge of Judge
Edwards to the jury, printed in full
elsewhere, may be had a singularly
able, accurate and impartial review of
the essential features. together with
an Interpretation Of the libel law likely
to stand for many years as the stand
ard for this community. We advise
our readers to preserve it for future
reference. 1t will undoubtedly become
historic.
Judge Edwards charge makes very
plain and clear the location of the
lines which separate privilege under
the constitutional guarantee of the
freedom Of the press from the abuse
of that privilege which degenerates into
attempted theft of private character
or the malicious prostitution of the
power of the press to ignoble and dirty
private ends 1t opens wide the door
to the freest discussion of official ac-
tiOns and to the fullest investigation
,e %
ical office or public authority; but it
places the just and wise restriction
that this discussion and this investi-
cation shall be from proper motives
and for justifiable ends. No door is
opened to wanton attacks upon private
character conceived in envy, greed or
hate.
In a proper spirit even hearsay evi-
dence regarding political methods may
be discussed in the public press; but
before currency is given in print with
editorial invective to current rumor
imputing guilt to any citizen the law
expects of the responsible publisher
reasonable diligence in investigation.
The first vague breathing of accusa-
tion Is not TO be grabbed with insane
haste and thrown into sensational jour-
nalism's eVer-busy hopper, to be con-
verted by glaring headlines and the
tricks and arts of the scandal-monger
into a monstrous menace to the public
peace.

Origin of Famous Word.

Stuart Robson thinks he has discovered
the origin of the word "deadhead" as
used in theatrical parlance.
Fifty years ago." said the great come
dian, "the principal avenue of Detroit led
to a tollgate close to the entrance of the
cemetery AS this cemetery had been laid
out some time previous to the construc-
ton of the plank road, 1t was arranged
that all funeral professions should be al
lowed to pass along the latter toll free.
One day as DR.. Pierce, a well-known ply
sician, stopped to pay his toll he OBJ
served to his gate-keeper

of our profession, l think you ought to

deadheads through here as 1t is.

One on n Grocer.

At the gathering of the retail Srocers in
st. Joseph last Tuesday night reminis-
cences were exchanged, says the Herald
of that place, and many were the tales
which the Grocers told on each other. one
grocer, who now eEjoys the distinction of
being the leading grocer in his section of
the city, tells a tale on himself which
bears repeating.
1t happened when he vas new in the
business. One day a spice salesman, rep
resenting an eastern firm, called on him.
The grocer said he didn't need anything
In his line. That was the natural thing
to say however, and it Gidn't worry the

getting All order. Said he.

Anthracite's Outlook.

" n IT'S ISSUE of yesterday the
Philadelphia Press presented a
Il few statements with reference to
the anthracite coal trade which
are reasonably accurate and certainly
interesting 1t said:
"The work of re-establishing the an
thracite coal industry Is beginning TO
patient labor. The trade may be said
TO have been in a declining state for
nearly thirty years. During the Civil
war there was a large increase in the
output of coal, and great fortunes were
made by producers, owing to a heavy
advance in the price. This period of
prosperity was followed by a decline in
the price of coal, a long, protracted
and expensive contest with the en-
ployes, The policy of acquisition Of
coal lands for the purpose of originat-
ing tonnage absorbed a very large
amount of capital. which proved un-
productive and brought about violent
competition between the producers,
and it was followed by a long period OF
depression, the bankruptcy of the
Reading and several other leading
companies, and large losses to the
holders Of the securities of most of the
carrying companies. For fifteen years
the process of reorganization and a re-
establishment of the business on a sub
stantial basis has been going on.
This task in its early and late
stages has been one of slow develop
ment, and the outcome was discour-
aging for years, as the owners OF the
Reading property can testify. Reor-
ganization succeeded reorganization,
fixed annual charges were reduced and
other means taken to re-establish sta
bility, but it was not until the owner
ship Of coal properties became more
concentrated that real headway was
made. For several years large pro-

Senator Penrose in Ohio,

~ HERE HAVE been assertions
that Pennsylvania repre-
N sentation in the United
States senate has lacked in
the ability to take a dignified and
creditable part in the public discus
sion OF great political problems. What
ever truth there may have been in
this criticism in prior times we see
no reason to believe it at present.
The speeches of Senator Penrose, in
the senate and out, stand forth as
models of accuracy, information and
high tenor; and very notable are these
characteristics in the speech delivered
by him at Wooster, o., last Monday
night, when he spoke in response to
Republican state committee. We
quote from that address:
Everyone familiar with our inter-
national relations at the time of the
battle Of Manila and with the then
existing conditions is persuaded that
to have receded would have been i'm
possible.Afte the treaty of peace, the
Philippine Islands became ours, be-
longing to us as absolutely as any
other part of the United States. For
the president to have faltered for 4
moment in the course he pursued in
upholding American authority and in
enforcing American treaties and laws,
might have resulted, not alone in the
adverse criticism of any patriotic
American citizen, but in his actual inn
peachment by congress. The fact that
our responsibility may he heavy is
no excuse for a failure to discharge
it. Can any citizen doubt, therefore,
that it is his duty and his interest
to sustain the National Adminisra-
tion at every point while this contest
is pending?
"The president of the United States
has had imposed upon him a tremen-
dous task; that he has been equal
to the emergency is admitted by
everyone. He has been patriotic,
| courageous and generous upon every
occasion, He has not made an error
in utterance or action at any time.
| III lne many utllCdle questions or
diplomacy he has been a safe and
| guiding spirit, and more than this,
in the unparalleled undertaking of or
| ganizing an army and organizing an
other army for the disbanding of the
| first one. and in providing for the
| transport service across the Pacific,
he has exercised personal super
vision and displayed a remarkable ex-
ecutive ability. 1t is difficult TO real
ize how any citizen can falter at this
time TO support him and the Repub-
| lican party, or to in any way give
announcement to our party opponents
who, by specious argument and false
pretence, endeavor TO get into power
"Do not let us be terrified by the
dreadful responsiblitieB conjured IN
the imaginations of our Democratic
opponents as the result of what they
are pleased to term Imperialism and
| Expansion As a matter of fact, evel
since the formation OF the Union, ter,

The Emperor Macmillan was an abste-

couraged by all about him, who loved to
feast royalty at his expense, while he
dined alone or some simple dish. But
the emperor had a taste for fish, and es-
pecially sturgeon; and one day he relished
so much dish of this that, like Oliver,
and to the equal surprise of the assistant,
he asked for more. Extremely sorry"
said the maitre d'hotel, but there is no

The emperor perhaps swore softly to
himself, perhaps he merely whstled or
hummed. Anyhow, after a pause, he
sent for the steward of the palace, who
inquired, in some surprise, what his ma
jesty was pleased to want 'T want to
