THE ABUSE OF GOOD WORDS.

What better words have we In our lam
suage than protection" or "trust?"
Either appeals to the best sentiments of
men. The word protection" suggests
at once the valiant, the strong the chival-
rous, standing guard over weakness and
shielding it from the assault of ferocitv
cupidity, rapacity. 1t touches the i'm
pulse that made the law declare every
mans home to be his castle, sacred even
from the invasion of the officers of the
days of chivalry making prefer of his life
in defense of his trust. or the frontiers
man of our recent chivalry Drawing the
tomahawk and torch in defense of his
family. There is no generous impulse of
the human heart that does not respond
to its touch. And how fearfuIly has this
most excellent of words been abused by
those who have sought it's shelter to get
from others of their earnings more than
they gave in return. That mystic in
huence which springs from words whose
power to mystify our sense Of things"
as Lowell observed, has no more COM
plete Illustration than the gross mis-
use Of this word affords. We have seen
for thirty and more years that mystic
influence warping the judgments of men
and holding them to a policy than which
the history of governments has nothing
more rapacious and unjust.
Lately we have seen that other

Let the Attempt Be Made.

If Representative Hosack. of Pitts
burg, chairman of the ways and
means committee of the legislature, is
a good lawyer-and he has that repu-
tation-one scheme of the Pennsyl-
vania insurgents" to annoy Governor
Stone is not destined to pan out WELL
Says Mr.. Hosack:
1.-THE position taken by those who
favor the calling of an extra session
for the election of a United States
senator. that upon the refusal of the
governor to call such session he may
be compelled so to do, in my opinion,
is untenable. The act of June 8, 1898,
entitled 'an act relating to manda-
mus repeals all prior acts upon that
subject, and is practically a codifca-
ton of the statutory law relating to
mandamus. The first section of that
act provides that the court of common
pleas of the county in which the seat
of government is or may be located
shall have power, and it shall be re-
quired, to issue the writ of mandamus
to the lieutenant governor, secretary
of the commonwealth, ETC., naming
nine other public officers. This act
was amended by the act of April 2S,
1899, which added to the list six others
against whom the writ may be main
tanned. In both the act of 1898 and
1899. the governor is excluded from it's
provisions, therefore, if the power ex-
lists it must be outside Of the acts OF
assembly"
Nevertheless, IL the insurgents want
to test this matter In the courts, we
see no reason TO discourage them. The
matter is one Of obvious public inter-
est, and it would add to the general
store OF information to have it judi
cially passed upon,
