Y II NlIT - w '''N
~ bill of Congressman Con-
y nell to create a now fed.
eral judicial district i'm
PENNSYLVANIA, the Philadelphia Press
remarks that except as to territorial
boundaries the bill is similar to one
drafted and introduced ny ITor. Henry
G. Mccormick, of LyCOninE county,
when Il member of corgrcss ten years
ago: and it adds:
AT the time his hill was under con-
sideratipn Mr.. Mccormick gave the
best reasons possibI NhY another dis
trict should be- furG1sd, and. mlil<" Mr..
Conncll. he was a lawyer who mad in
innate personal l<nowl"dg" of the re-
uuircmcnts of the section to be af-
fected so far as related to the work
of the courts. His reasons. however,
failed 10 secure the passage of the
measure. which. we believe, was not
reported from the judiciary committee,
to which it was referred. Whatever
necessity there was for a new district
at that time exists today. Whatever
reason there was for not creating T.
is Just as good today as it was then.
The fact that the court for the west
ern district holds sessions at different
points at regular intervals removes
one Of the arguments in favor Of a
division--the expense and inconven-
fence of summoning litigarts and wit
esses long distances. II is usually the
case when a measure OF this kind is
brought forward that il is i'm the in
terest Of some one or more ambitious
to fill the places which 1t creates. Thai
however, should not be the ground on
which the bill is considered. 1t should
be acted upon solely with reference to
the public requirements and in nowise
affected by questions of personal am
bition."
The fact that so accomplished Il
lawyer and so distinguished a gentle
man as the former attorney general
of Pennsylvania, a decade ago, was
sufficiently impressed with the nec"s-
sity of a third Judicial district in this
commonwealth to attc.lpt its creation
supplies. we think, a strong argument
in support of the present bill, which
Mr. Connell has introduced at the urg-
ing of representative citizens who
share Mr. McCormick's estimate of the
need of such convenience to litigants
and practitioners in the federal courts
At the hearing on this subject before
the judiciary committee of the last
congress arguments were presented in
favor of Mr.. Connells measure which
weighed heavily in the minds of all
who gave the subject fair consider
alton; and what the last congress
failed to do in this matter the present
congress will be pressed to do as a
matter of obvious justice.
TO the rule laid down by the Press
that a measure of this kind should be
acted upon solely with reference tC
the public requirements, Mr. Connell
we imagine, will cheerfully subscribe
and all the more readily, no doubt, be.
cause he has before him the good pre-,
cedent and example of his friend from
LyComing, eN-AttOrney General Me
Cormick. Nothing has occurred in tho
past ten years to destroy the force oi
Mr.. McCormick'S arguments. On the
contrary the population comprchcndel
within the jurisdiction Of the 'cOntem
plated new judicial district, as well as
the court business, has very materially
increased.

mission tells us, at their eager desire
and solicitation, the government of the
United States, by means of its mill
tary strength, is compelling an armed
minority to desist from a mischievous
usurpation of authority which has
practiced an odius tyranny upon un-
armed fellow inhabitants whom its
self-constituted dictatorial power has
intimidated and terrorized.
Coming then, to the last OF Senate:
IToar's propositions, we have simrly
to consider whether. in the light of
practical common sense, taking due ac-
count of the conditions as they exist,
there Is any better practicable way to
deal with the problem confronting us
in the Philippine archipelago than that
in which that problem is being dealt
with. Until the senator from Massa-
chusetts can show that the conditions
as officially reported by such men as
President Schurman, Professor Wor-
cester, Minister DENLY and Admiral
Dewey are not the conditions actually
existing in the Philippines; until he
can establish to the satisfaction of the
mind and conscience of the nation that
there has been a misconception of
facts prejudicial to Aguinaldo and the
agencies whom Aguinaldo represents,
mere theorizing from assumed premises
will not avail to modify policies and
measures now in process of execution.
OF Senator Hoar's sincerity and moral
ferent from those held by a majority
of his countrymen there is no question;
but to be effective this courageous sim
cerity must sustain itself by facts in
evidence. Where are those facts?

The following report regarding the
condition Of the DeBeque bridge has
been furnished through the kindness Of
Engineer Crosby, who was called to De-
Beque to fight, in an endeavor to save
tho bridge. Evidently some poor work,
which is putting it very mildly, was
done In the construction of the bridge
piers.
In speaking of the structure Mr.. Cros-
by said.
1.-THE main trouble with the DeBeque
state bridge is located in the south pier.
About twelve feet Of its centre stands on
a large boulder, with ends on sand or
gravel foundation. 1t IL a shell OF sand
stone laid in cement and filed with
loose broken rock, each end OF pier is
broken ard ready to fall over, il the
weight of tho bridge plates were re-
moved.
"Water is pouring through the pier In
several places. The cap stones are
broken. The up stream outer lower
corneris gone leaving gap 4x5x3 feet,
at point above surface of food water.
This opening has been filled with cut
stone and footing Of rough rock is laid
entirely around the head end Of the pier
and over into the stream for protection.
"The south end OF the bridge has set
tied about three inches.
"The bridge, il no further harm comes
to it will permit Of light traffic for few
weeks.
"The approach, which is about 200
feet long, on bents and mud sille, lead
ing to the south pier, is in wrecked
condition but will permit Of foot travel
with reasonable safety.
"The north pier is also in bad condi-
tion and like the south one must be ep-
tirely reconstructed. The bridge itself
is an exceptionally good one and was
worthy Of much better foundations.
at is my opinion that with constant
watching, the bridge can be made to
do some service, during the season. 1t
is very high structure, and with the
present weakened condition OF the pier
strong winds might cause it to topple
over"
