ANDERSON INSANE.

The Elm Grove Constable VIII be
Sent to One Of the State Hospitals.
The Evidence in Court.
The inquiry into the question of the
sanity of John Anderson, ex-county
constable, charged with embezzling the
funds of the town of Elm Grove, and
with attempted Matchmaking of pa
irons Of Wheeling Park, was made in
the Criminal Court yesterday morn
ing. The evidence was heard by a
jury, which a~djudged him to be insane.
Prosecuting Attorney Nesbitt stated
that he had several physicians to watch
Anderson while in Jail, and that from
their observations and his own, there
was no doubt in his mind that the pris-
oner is insane.
Neighbors of Anderson testified to
many of his peculiarities. His wife
also went on the stand. There was
evidence that the insanity was heredit-
airy, and much testimony to show that
Anderson is a moral degenerate. Drs.
Armbrecht, Baird and Megrail testified
to that fact.
The prisoner sat with his arms fold
ed, his head hanging, and trembling in

John A. Mccall, president of the New

scarcely a doubt that the advance will
be made. Mr.. Mccall first received
$50, 600 and then Se5. 900. his present

annually from the Mutual Life Com
pany a salary Of S100, 900 and a per-
quisite of s25, 900. james w. Alexan-

him. His salary is S100, 900 a year. and
in addition he receives one per c.lt. OF
all the business written. His income is
never less that $3.50 600. He is prob
ably the highest salaried mar in the

THE SUPREME COURT DECISION

THE SUPREME COURT DECISION.
: Commenting upon the late bunch of
decisions by a bare majority of the Su-
preme Court, the New York Herald
says:
Can such an amazing exhibit of judi
cial conflict and absurdity either COM
mand respect for the highest cour of
the nation or prove acceptable to the
country? Opposed to principle and pre-
cedent, undermined with the dissent of
its W trainers, based on a bare major
ity of one, protested against by all the
rest of the court as "overthrowing the
basis of our constitutional law" can it
be said to settle even the m special
point it decides, to say nothing of the
momentous issues it throws into dis
pute? In short, can it endure perma-
nently and withstand the attacks that
time and its W weakness are sure to
bring? We think not.
We believe that it is only a ques-
ton of a short time when it must
give way to the cornerstone principle
of our government, maintained by the
four minority members of the court,
headed by the chief justice, that wher-
ever the flag floats and American SOW
ereignty extends, the constitution Is the
Supreme law to which President, Con-
gress and the people must all bow.
The case is here well put. The major
lily of the Supreme Court was wrong,
both in fact and principle, and a ma
1ority of the American people are so
minded, for they stand with the late
ex-President Harrison when he said:
J Our fathers were not content with an
assurance of these great rights that
rested wholly upon the ems of justice
and b%enevolence of the Congress. The
man whose protection from wrong rests
wholly upon the b~enevolence of another
man or of a Congress, is a slave-a
man without rights.
Americans do not believe in the idea
of a man without rights. On the con-
trary, they believe that every man has
not only rights, but is entitled to ex-
press them and insist upon them. Tax
alton without representation and gov
eminent without consent are utterly
abhorrent to the American mind. The
Supreme Court must reverse itself in
this matter, or it will he wholly with
out respect.

The June term of the State Supreme
Court of Appeals will open in this city
Wednesday morning. Preparations
have been made in the First Branch
Council chamber for the sessions of the
court. The judges are expected to ar
rive to-day. The most interesting mat
ters to Ohio county people to come up
during the session will be the argyll
ments upon writs of error in the cases
of Johnson and Devinney and Mooney
and Friday, all of whom were convicted
in the Criminal Court Of murder. I'm

THE DOWIE O

In the Auditorium theatre, Chicago,
Sunday night, when John Alexander
Dowie declared himself 1.-The spiritual
embodiment of Elijah" and that he was
first on earth as the prophet, a second
time as John the Baptist, and had now
returned again to this mundane sphere,
and called for an expression of belief on
the part of his hearers by a rising vote,
three thousand of his audience rose to
their feet and greeted the declaration
with cheers and hand-clapping."
1t is difficult to conceive that that sort
of cheap c~harlatanism could be success
fully imposed upon any considerable
number of people in this day of enlight-
eminent, learning and culture, and yet,
in the second city of the United States
a multitude gathered under one roof
gave their enthusiastic approval to a
declaration as ridiculous and fantastic
as any yer made. There are some few
believers in r~eincarnation, as there are
in some other light and airy and unsub-
stantial theories, but even those who
hold in a more or less degree to the
idea that man can be reborn again on
earth ought by an easy process of rea-
and after but a cursory inspec-
ton of Mr.. Dowie and his methods, be-
convinced that he is rather more
than a base imitation and treat him ac-
cordingly. He is described as a mad
man, but there is a method in his mad
ness-to obtain money through original
and sacreligious methods. That he is
even tolerated is a matter for surprise.

ERRORS OF AUTHORS.

New York Press.
David Starr Jordan, M. S., Phi. D., M.
d., LII. D., president of Leland Stan
ford, Jr., University, In an article on
THE Blood of the Nation" in the Pop
ular Science Monthly, says: "In the
late war some poet addressing the spirit
of ancient Greece appealed to her
OF all thy thousands grant us three,

find

To make a new Thermopylae!
The late war" DR.. Jordan refers to
is the war between Greece and Turkey.
which is all right, for he is speaking Of
Greece, but some poet" for Byron is
pretty good, and calling The Isles of
Greece a poem of the last war between
Turkey and Greece is better. In the
same article the learned biologist,
zoologist, pisciculturist, naturalist, base
ballist, m~ountaineer and seal expert
calls that fine poem of Oscar Wilde's,
ave Imperatrix," the last flicker of
dying genius in his wrecked life"
whereas it was one of his earliest COM
positions.
Matthew Arnold in his "Philomela'
makes Procne the dumb sister, but it
was the tongue of Philomela that was
cut out. Byron in "The Isles of Greece
says that Xerxes looked on his "ships
by thousands" off the coast of Salamis,
but there were really only 800 sail all
told. Chambers's Encyclopedia states
that "the fame of Beaumarchais rests

but at "the smiths house." near Elgin.
Macbeth was not slain by Macduff at
Dunsinane, but made his escape from
the battle and was killed at Lumphan-

nodded, some of them frequently. DR..
Jordan is in fine company.

LITERARY.

Literary Friends and Acquaintance"
by William Dean HOwells is a charming
book of "reminiscences of the noted
literary men he has known. He so car
ries our imagination with him that we
almost feel we too have been seeing his
friends and their homes and learning
to value their character more than ever.
And we learn to feel the sweet personal
ity of Mr.. Howells that has won him so
many noted friends. This devotion and
appreciation of the finest qualities in
others reveal the fine qualities Of his
own heart and mind.
1t seems as though he has known
most all of the noted literary men in
and around Cambridge, Boston and New
York. Such men as Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow, James Russell Lowell Ed
mund, Clarence Stedman, James T.
Fields, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ralph
Waldo Emerson, Thomas Bailey AID
rich, Hjalmer Hjorth Boyesen, Oliver
Wendell Holmes and many others have
been his friends. He seems to have
been especially fond of Lowell, Longfel-
low, Boyesen and Oliver Wendell
Holmes and James T. Fields and gives
us many very interesting glimpses into
their lives. Very pathetic is his picture
of Emerson in old age, when his facul-
ties had failed him and at Longfellow's
funeral he said to a friend with him:
THE gentleman we nave just been
burying was a sweet and beautiful soul;
but / forget his name"
1t seems very sad that such a great in
fo11oof chnr1d 1irn m Tho CO c1nI1dod
OF Longfellow he says: "Once your
friend Longfellow was always your
friend; he would not think evil of you,
and if he knew evil of you, he would be
the last of all that knew it to judge you
for it,"
Of Lowell he says: "He was not an
unsocial man, but he was most distinct
ly not a society man. He loved chiefly
the companionship of books and of men
who loved books; but of women gener-
ally he had an amusing diffidence; he
revered them and honored them but he
would rather not have them about.
There was never a more devoted hus-
band, and he was content to let his de-
votion to the sex end with that"
Very lovingly and tenderly has Mr..
Howells dealt with the many noted men
who were dear to his heart and his writ
ing shows the m~agnanimous apprecia-
ton of genius by genius. There is not
the least trace of envy or unjust criti-
cism that many a lesser mind might
show. A spirit of brotherly love and
true appreciation ~pervades the whole
book and no student of literature should
be without it. II has 80 fine illuStra-
tions.

An INTERESTING STATEMENTS.

AN INTERESTING STATEMENT.
The announcement by NJ. Jules Sieg-
1ried, the French statesman who has
been closely investigating conditions in
this country, and who had a recent in
terview with President Mckinley, that
the Executive was very strongly in
clined to a radical revision of the so
called protective tariff, will interest the
country, but corro5orative evidence will
be required before the statement Is ac-
cepted as fact. NJ. Siegfried says that
the President is convinced that the
United States has reached that point
when it is necessary to secure wider
markets abroad, and that TO do this sue
cessfully the protective tariff must be
removed, and added that Mr.. Mckinley
indicated that he had left the ranks of
that faction of his party that believes in
tariff taxation, one and a high price to
local consumers, and another and a low
er to the foreign buyer.
This is important-if true. There is
nc doubt but Mr.. Mckinley, in common
with every other sensible person, recog-
nizes the folly and injustice of the pro-
tective tariff system, but that he has
committed himself to the reverse even
in a private conversation, is much to be
doubted. Mr.. McKinley's party, his
government, his friends and his mana
gers, from Hanna down, are welded to
the policy of taxation of the whole
people for the benefit of a few, and such
a flop" on his part would be even more
astonishing that his celebrated change
of base on the Porto Rican question.
Although M. Siegfried sticks to his as
~sertion, he will have to produce wit
nesses before the public will be alto
gether convinced.

ANOTHER SURPRISE" COMING.

According to the Chicago Record
Herald, the United States Supreme
Court has another surprise in store
for the country in the shape of a de-
cision in favor of the government in
the Philippine case, and adds that it will
be a decision by a divided bench and
upon the following extraordinary
grounds:
: First-That the United States never
has declared it's intention to retain the
Philippine archipelago indefinitely, and
the only declaration of policy which had
been made was in the other direction
docking toward a temporary occupa-
tion, the United States being a sort of
trustee for the people of the Philip
pines, as it was a trustee for the people
of Cuba.
Second-That in any event the United
States, at the time the duty complained
of (the ID diamond rings) was collected
was not in the actual possession of the
Philippines, but that the United States
was waging war for such possession,
and such control as the United States
had was limited to the operations of
military authority.
If this outline of what is alleged to be
coming from the Court be accurate, the
country will be vastly amused, particd-
Early over the trustee" clause and the
linking of the Philippines and Cuba in
that connection. If we simply are in
the Philippines as trustees" why that
twenty millions to Spain for right and
title after We had secured both by
force of arms as far as Spain was con-
cerned? And as for Cuba, the admin
istration is actively and deliberately
engaged in denying to the citizens Of
that unhappy island the right of self
government insisted upon by us a GEN.
tury and a quarter ago, and under the
%specious guise of stewardship and guar
dianship are persistently laying the
foundations for ownership and control
without consent and without represen-
tation. Russia never did more than
this in her annexations of Asiatic peo-
piles, and England never did less.
