A FORMER DELAWAREAN HAS
FIGURED PROMINENTLY IN THE
WEST.

IA FORMER DELAWAREAN HAS
FIGURED PROMINENTLY IN THE
WEST.
James Peirce, Of New Albany, Indi-
ana. hale and hearty old man, who
occupies a prominent place in the af-
fairs Of the city OF his adoption is Wis
iting his cousin, j. Jackson Peirce, in
this city. He will remain for a week
or two visiting scenes of the PAST, re-
newing old and making new acqualnt-
Iance.
Mr.. Peirce was born in Brandywine
hundred, not far from this city. After
completing his schooling he was, in
1894, apprenticed to Thompson &
Young to learn the trade Of a ship
wright Two years later Mr.. Thomp-
son died. Mr.. Young then associated
Enoch and Charles Moore with him in
1.-The business, and the firm was changed
to Thomas Young & Co. Under these
changed conditions young Peirce COM
pleted his trade, residing, for five
years and three months. with Mr.
Young.
In 1888, 80 and 40, he was an active
member Of the Water Witch Fire Com
paRy. He married Miss Annie Taylor,
daughter Of John Taylor, Of Kennett
Square, and a cousin of Bayard Taylor,
the eminent writer. whose widow he
has met since being East this time.
In 1s41 he went West, worked for a
year in the yards at Cleve-
land, and then proceeded
to New Albany, where he has since re-
sided. A melancholy feature OF his
residence there was the death OF his
wife and two children. At New AL
bany he had charge Of the Evans
shipyard. Three years later he set up
in business for himself, starting a box
factory. This was followed by a
steam planning mill. and box factory,
coupled with a plant for the manufac-
ture Of all sorts OF tobacco machinery.
Ten years ago he retired. He is a Re
publican and has figured prominently
in the affairs OF New Albany. For ten
years and a-half he represented his
ward in City Council, and was at one
time acting mayor. His love for the
work OF volunteer firemen never left
him, and he was identified with the
work Of the department there until ad-
vancing age rendered active participa-
ton impossible.
His surviving daughter, who is mar
ried, resides at Pleasant Hill, Mo.
about 35 miles from Kansas City.
Mr.. Peirce has been East three time
since 1s41, and speaks in most fiatter
ing terms of the rapid strides whicl
Wilmington has made during his alb
sence.
He declares that at Little Egg Har
Dor, N. j., and on the Harlem river
New York, the Peirce family owns
large tracts of land which, he believes
could be recovered by the institution
Of legal steps, but it is not probable
that such a course will be pursued, al
other members Of the family aRe no

Dog poisoners have resumed opera

that children's lives may be endanger-

to wealthy persons, and the work Of
poisoning them is thought to be that
of would-be thieves.

The less man brags to his friends

AM E,nlolel 1den Rerircd.

The Chicago Tribune. the leading Re-
publican paper Of the Middle West, In DIS
cuss!ns the trust evil, says the only way 10
break the trusts-or the majority OF them
duct. that Is. to let In foreign competition
on them. which would Immediately break
their strangle hold on the American con-
STANDARDIZATION.
This Is shrewd reference, Indeed.
The Register should know. II It does not,
that the paper quoted has not been for
many years a protectionist paper, and
has been steadily opposed to the Re-
publican policy Of protection. AS for
the tariff having anything to do with
the trusts, that idea has been exploded
long age. We had them under Mr..
Wilson's tariff. and they have them in
free trade England. Under present
conditions. the enormous balance in our
favor In foreign trade-the great ex-
cess Of American exports over imports
In manufactured goods-bullt up since
the present tariff law was enacted, has
proven the falsity OF the old free trade
theory about free trade being neces-
sary to gain "the markets OF the
world" These combinations which are
criticised. regardless OF party. are not
due to tariff laws. They would exist
under any tariff conditions, and only
statutes prohibiting their existence
would stop the matter. The markets of
the world were captured before the COM
bination craze Of the present broke out.
There are other. and more logical argyll
ments than the exploded one referred to.

The Register reiterates that the
northern papers" only denounce lynch
ings when they occur in the south. That
is deliberate faisehood. The papers
OF the north and the south rs well, that
have any responsibility, denounce mob
law wherever It occurs. They de-
nounced It when It not long since occur
red In Illinois. and Some time ago IN
Ohio lynchlng was severely denounced
everywhere In the country, especially
SO by the northern press. Even Peck
sniff. OF Fourteenth street" did 1t.
The principle Is that It is wrong wher-
ever It occurs. whether In New York,
Pennsylvania. Illinois. or Kentucky,
Georgia or Mississippi. II the Register
can get Its narrow mind broadened n
little to see the real point--that mob law
and the lynching OF criminals, whether
white or black. Is an outrage against
the law. wherever 1t occurs. It may cul-
tivate Itself to be fair enough not to per-
init mean partisan and sectional malice
to cause 1t to fabricate.

Mr.. NIcGraw's Mistake.

On the sixth page OF this mornings
Intelligencer appears an important and
interesting article written by Attorney
j.. A. Oldfield, OF Mcdowell county, con-
corning the legal title of Senator-elect
N. B. Scott to his seat in the senate. 1t
is In reference to Mr.. McGraw's two
principal claims attacking that title,
namely, his contention that Mr.. Scott
did not have majority OF the members
Of a full legislature-that is, 40 votes,
and the cases Of the two war senators,
Getzendanner and Pierson.
The showing In the article referred to
is that the United States statute, which
Is quoted in full. concerning senatorial
elections. provides that "the person who
receives a majority Of all the votes OF a
Joint assembly, majority OF all the
members elected to both houses being
present and voting-shall be declared
duly elected. In other words, II ma
jority of the members elected are pres
ent-not the full membership-it re-
qufres simply majority Of that major
ity to choose senator. The statute cited
Is section Is. of the revised statutes OF
the United States. Paine on elections.
writing on this subject, CONSTITUTES the
statute to mean that the vote Of the ma
jority Of the entire legislature is not es-
sential to the validity OF an election OF q
United States senator. The passage Of
this law was In accordance with section
4, OF article !. Of the federal constitu-.
ton. 1t declares that the legislature OF
any state may prescribe the manner OF
the election Of senator. but that Con-
gress may at any time by law make or
alter such regulations. except as to the
place OF choosing the senator. Under
this clause Congress-. in 1865, passed the
statute above alluded to.
This point does away with Mr.. Nc
Graw's famous petition signed by forty
nine members OF the legislature. 1t is a
law he cannot dodge. but evades in his
Constitutional protest" Asst to the case
of the war senators. Mr.. oidheid again
quotes from Paine on elections In refer
ence to presidents established by the
United States senate. it having been held
by that body that 1t would be dan
gerous exertion Of power to look behind
the commissions OF senator's for de-
fects in the component parts OF the
state legislature. or into peculiar organi-
cations OF the body. as grounds TO JUS
tify the senate OF the United States to
declare its acts null and void.
