Ignorance Of aw

Excuses No One."
! This maxim applies quhh
especial force to ignorance of
the lauvs of health. Epery
man and qvonan of inteMi-
gence knoevs the physical
fact that the blood reaches
the remotest parts of the
human body. IF there Is a
disturbance anywhere. why
should one ignorantly sup
pose that the seat of the
malady is local?
Is it not more rational to suppose that
the impure condition of the blood is
doing the mischief, as it is? Experience
has demonstrated the fact that this 10

which is understood to reflect Senator
Hawley's views, says:
The Constitution is plain on the sub
ject. That provides that the governor
may make n Temporary appointment, II a
vacancy happens during the recess OF
the Legislature OF any state. This Penn
sylvania vacancy did not happen during
the recess Of the legislature. 1t happened
March, 1899, when the legislature was In
session. Nothing could be palmer than
that Some persons contend that va
cuum is hateful and must not be allowed.
When the legislature fails to elect sena-'
tor, q vacuum OCCURS; and the governor
must step In and do something. So he
should. He should call an extra session
of the legislature. He has no power to
do any thing else, except to sit still. The
legislature Is responsible for the vacuum.
Let the same power correct Its failure.
Pennsy lvania need not be unrepressnted
in the Senate II that occurs, under
these circumstances, then the RESPONSE
bility belongs to the Legislature. The
plea that, If failure to elect makes a
final vacancy, then combines may be ar
ranged to effect a deadlock, IL met BY the
more real and suggestive possibility
that, ii such vacancy can be hiled BY
the governor, then combines may be made
to throw to the governor the appointment
and he may use his executive influence to
assist in continuing the deadlock. Clean
and heal by politics demand that the
states be compelled to hold by the Consti-
tuition. That should prevail even over
that remarkable factor known as the
courtesy of the Senate.h

KEY. Philip H. Moore, the Con-
gregationalist pastor in Saco, on
Sunday, continued his attack upon
the prohibitory law as means of re-
straining the evils of rum, and
reiterated his belief that local
option system was preferable. He said
that with others he had worked zealously
for the enforcement of the law in York
county, and finally they had asked the
Governor to appoint special State oonsta-
bles. The answer to them was that they
might withdraw their petition. A more
demoralizing condition politically, he
said, one could not conceive than existed
as result of the manner in which the
officials enforced the prohibitory law.
Despite all the arguments made kby his
critics, nowhere in the Bible loould any
one find passage of scripture which
said Jesus was a prohibitionist II
would advise" he said, in recommend
ing action to secure temperance reform,
shat we have a wise and thorough edu-
cation for the youth regarding the evils
of intsmperance. Then, again, you pro-
hibitionists should seek constantly to
arouse public interest by discussion Of
this great que stion, and, furtherm ore,
treat kindly those that are afflicted with
the drink habit. The man who sells Is
also In need of your sympathy. You
make a great mistake when you abuse
the saloonkesper, for you do not stop a
single man from doing evil by abuse. If
some of the prohibitionists would pay
better wages, build better tenement hous.
es and do everything to make home pleas
ant for the laboring men, they would do
much to promote the cause of temper
snoc.'

The impression seems to be growing
that the Senate is likely to reverse its
decision In the cases of Corbett and
Mantle, which was that a gov
ernor cannot appoint Senator
after the Legislature has refused
or neglected to elect one, and will let In
Quay under Gov. Stones appointment.
OF course each Senate is law unto itself,
yet presidents have al ways had strong
influence on that body. In the most try
ing of times 1t has refused to take any
action to limit debate, principally for the
reason that debate had never been limited
before. If presidents of seventy-fve
years regarding the right of governors to
appoint, for they really extend over that
period, are overruled at the next session
it will occasion great surprise. and will
indicate at least that the Senate is capa-
BILE of departing from the travelled path.

There is good deal of condemnation
by the New York newspapers Of the
secrecy Of the proceedings in the Sloane
divorce case. There was no record that
divorce proceedings had been begun, and
the first thing known of it to the public
was the announcement that divorce
had been decreed and that Mrs. Sloane
had married again. There is no reason
why the lawyers who engineered this
untying of the nuptial knot should not
inscribe on their business cards Divorce
obtained without publicity" 1t is hint
ed, however, that in order to dispense
with the publicity the parties must be
very rich as they were in this case.
