CHARGED WITH LIBEL.
Justice Barry, of Luzerne Borough,
Held in $500 Bail for Appearance

Held in $500 Bail for Appearance
at Court.
wilkes Barre, oct. 26.-William F.
Barry. a Justice Of Luzerne, was be-
fore Alderman Donohue last evening
charged with furnishing false news to
a local paper. The suit was brought
by Miss Mary Campbell, of Edwards
vile, under the act of assembly of 1893.
The suit grew out of an article which
appeared in the Leader in September,
headed Fought for Love-" which gave
an account of a supposed fight between
two of Miss Campbelrs admirers who
decided to settle their difference In
fistic contest, the winner to be ac-
knowledged as the young lady's ac-
cepted lover, the loser to withdraw
his attentions. The article also stated
the young lady acquiesced in this ar
rangement and witnessed the tight,
which was fought in field on the
West Side. At the hearing last even
ing the young lady stated that at the
time the supposed fight took place she
was not within a mile of the place
mentioned, but, on the contrary, was
attending church with her sister. Sew
eral others witnesses, Michael Burns,
Thomas Murphy and j. j. Monohan
bore out the young lady's testimony.
City Editor Risdale testified that the
article in question had been published
in the Leader, that it had been sent
to the paper through the regular cors-
respondent, Mr.. Barry, and was printed
in good faith; that If he had any sus-
pcion the article was untrue he would
not have printed 1t.
After hearing the testimony the al
derman severely scored Barry for his
act of writing such an article. He said:
"A lot Of you scribblers, or wouldbe
newspaper men make practice Of
writing up respectable people and
through false items hold them up to
the contempt and ridicule of their
neighbors, as in this case, by writing
untruths which you send to respectable
newspapers, thus misleading them
There is no respectable newspaper in
existence which would libel a person
maliciously. But at times they are
imposed upon by such men as you.
Such articles, however, do a great in
jury to the person whose name is mem
toned which cannot be repaired. You,
no doubt, thought it was a great joke,
but we have one which we think is q
better one, and that is that you enter
bail in the sum of $500 for your ap-
pearance at court to answer the
charge"
Burgess Donnelly, Of Luzerne, quail
fed as Barry's bondsman. Attorney
Salisbury appeared for the plaintiff and
D. B. Gildea for the defendant.

Expansion.

AT this time, we hear great deal
about expansion, and anta-expap-
sion. The Democratic members of
both the House aud Senate have
raised a hue and cry and use as
their slogan-"Anti.Expa nsion.'
Now let US reason together and see
what there Is in this. We were
origionally only 10 states along the
Atlantic coast. We began to ex-
pand step by step-little by little
untilin 1903 when Thomas Jefferson
was president we made the
Louisiana purchase which in
cluded a great deal of the territory
west of the Missippi River. The
Mexican war which occurred in 1874
was dispute between this country
and Mexico, about California and
Texas. From the beginning our
nation has lived by expansion. This
is a law of necessity. If we do not
expand we contract. If we do not
go forward we 60 backward. We
have expanded until we are now q
mighty .nation-spreading peace
and happiness where ever we 60.
We don't suppose that the offici-
ais at Washington had any idea Of
capturing and holding the Philip
pines at the time of the breaking
out of the war with Spain. They
only heard the cry of those who
were in want and distress on the
Island of Cuba. Admiral Dewey
was ordered to Manila from Hong
Kong, simply because he had nc
where else to 60, and President
Mckinley with his eyes open ready
to take advantage of everything
seen what was to be gained and SC
sent him there and there is nc
need of us telling the result, for i,
is we'll known to all of our readers
Emergencies have arisen, which
has compelled the government tt
hold those islands, or lose oul
national honor. 1t is said, wise mer
change but fools never.
The expansion theory goes as the
dew before the morning sun. Wht
knows but what the prophecy, "Tht
last shall be first, and the first last
refers to us as nation, so it be-
hooves us to measure up to thu
standard, or we fall as Ancien
Rome did of old.
