After court opened yesterday morn
1ng Judge II. Nj. Edwards charged the
jury in the case of Daniel Fnnegan
and Patrick Finnegan, who were
charged with assaulting Patrolman
Thomas Jones during the street car
riot in South Scranton on Oct. %. In
his charge Judge Edwards said among
other things:
This case, like all other cases that come INTO
the criminal court. must he disposed OF accord
ing to the law and according to the evidence.
Considerable feeling has been shown in one way
ana another during the trial OF the ease. The
local disturbance and disorder that we have in
thc city Of Scranton has been brought into the
ease incidentally. 1t really has nothing to 10
With the case SO far as the disposition oi It Is
concerned. | presume it is hardly necessary Tor
ne to tell you gentlemen. that the passions AMI
rcuiiccs of the hour have place court o:
ls,icc or in jury box, and that any Judge or
ny juror who would allow his action or his juds-
\ rnt to be- influenced in the slight degree by any
uch feeling of prejudice is unworthy OF the posi-.
tion he holds, whether he he Judge whether he
be Juror.
The district attorney in opening the cvi.
lcntly anticipated that this would be tried

different light by the Jury, because it was con.
Hcrtcd with a street railway disturbance, and the
defense managed. not Intentionally .hry
could not help ito inject into the case lhat dis.

single juror that sits before me will allow

We cannot close enr eyes to the fact that this

disorder and turbulence. and jurors and Judges,
Slu are orlv men after all. should not unwil

The defense was as outlined in The
Tribune yesterday. Mrs. Shaw present.

the order advising her to retain the
money until she had had her receipts,

her. Some little excitement was
caused by Miss Mary Baxter, who

THE SEASON AT NOME.

The news from Alaska this season is
that many prospectors have met with
Encouragement and loss. but that the
general belief is that the country is
richer than it's most enthusiastic friends
ever predicted. One reason the output
is so light is that few miners have the
proper equipment for successful work,
as they lack money to buy the required
machinery. Perhaps the chief reason is
that the season this year lasted only six
weeks. A we'll known citizen of Butte
who has just returned from Nome City
after sojourn there of two months,
says that during that time he caught
glimpse OF the sun only twice. The
weather, with the exception of few
hours, was always cloudy. and rain was
generally falling. The temperature was
low. Under such conditions successful
mining was almost impossible and pros
pecting out Of the question. The only
men who made money were those who
were equipped with machinery and with
protection from Indictment weather. Some
of these produced many thousands of
dollars per diem. which proves that the
gold is there and needs only proper facil-
tiles for extraction.

ILLUSTRATED YACHT RACING.

Numerous and novel are the methods
employed by the live newspapers of the
United States and England to illustrate
the progress of each of the cup roces.
In inland cities located neither on lakes
nor rivers, the best plan is that used by
the Inter Mountain, wires being stretched
across the street in triangular form rep
resenting the three legs of the race
course, with miniature, movable paper
boats suspended therefrom, and regu-
lated by system Of pulleys to represent
the defender and challenger. In London
one of the big dailies chartered two cleo
trio launches, one with green and one
with red lights, representing resp ,ctively
the Shamrock and the Columbia, and by
establishing proper Geographic commune
cation it was able to regulate the move
ments of the boats to correspond with
the changing relative position of the
yachts as bulletined from New York by
cable. At the London play houses, in
order to hold their audiences the pro-
prietors illustrated tha first race by
means of the biograph, which every few
minutes would flash the boats on canvas
in accordance with the latest bulletin.
It should be remembered that in
England it is long after dark before a
race can be finished.

fact that the yellow press Is banished
from the social organizations of San

Spouse to a vigorous and outspoken de-
mand on the part Of all substantial citi-
zens. The clubmen in demanding ac-

unanimous in condemning yellow jour-
nalism and demanding that it's powers
for mischief be curtailed.

FAIRY STORIES ABOUT BUTTE.

Periodically the eastern and western
papers are filled with sensational articles
topped with scare head lines, alleging
that great cracks have appeared in
the Butte townsite, and that some Of
the crevices are so wide that blackbrd
would hesitate to fly over them. These
geological phenomena are not visible to
the naked eye of any inhabitant in Butte,
sober or intoxicated. They exist only in
the fevered brain of some of the talented
young men who make telegra phic spe-
Gals for the eastern and western press
when actual events are scarce and the
purse is empty. No metropolitan paper
would pay anything announcing that in
the Vicinity of some deep shaft small
crack had occurred owing to the natural
shrinkage of the ground. That is what
occasionally happens To make the
news readable" however, the special
dispatch writers lengthen the crevices to
correspond with the north and south
boundaries of the townsite. and widen
them to correspond with the eternal TT
ness OF things. Manifestly long crevice
would not be alarming unless it were
also wide in proportion. Thus generally
the dispatches sent east announce that
che city has been rent asunder by faith

PROPAGANDA AGAINST THE HOME.
(New Yor k Tribune.)

The arrest Of several anarchists in the
state Of Washington on the charge Of
sending obscene literature through the
mails attracts attention to one Of the
most Odious phases of the anarchist
propaganda. and also Of certain and
considerable school of socialism. That
propaganda is directed not only against
the state but equally against the family
and the home. and against the very
foundation of social morality. We need
not at present seek to determine whether
this is because Of perverted morals, or
because Of q recognition of the fact that
the family Is the foundation of the state.
The fact Is indisputable. To most anar-
chists. and to many il not most social
lists, the authority Of parents over chill
dren Is as hateful as that of monarch
over subject, and fidelity of affection
between husband and wife is an intoler-
able monopoly. The socialist demands
in conjugality as we'll as in
Industry and property. and the anarchist
would abolish the marriage tie together
with statute law.
These anarchists in Washington are
charged with having sent indecent prints
through the mails in propaganda
against marriage and the home, and in
favor Of free love" in its most offensive
form. So the murderer Of Mckinley de-
clared himself to be opposed to mar

rage So other teachers of anarchy and
socialism. some of them conspicuous.
have been noted for their practical disre-
gard Of domestic obligations. among
them at least one sensational professor
Of Christian Socialism" For such
preaching and practice there Is, Of
course, good social;stic authority. Social
lists as conservative and respectable as
William Morris and Belfort Bax have
categorically denounced the present
marriage and home system. and have de-
handed the substitution Of a system
under which marriage should not be 4
lifelong contract, but merely an associa-
ton terminable at the will of either
rarty. and in which parents should not
be responsible for their children, but the
latter should be cared for by the state.
Distasteful as these phases on the SUBJ
ject are, 1t is necessary to recognize them
in order to understand Alright the abom-
Unable character Of the anarchico- social
istic campaign against law and order.
1t is something more than a movement
against certain forms and theories of
government. It is directed with im-
placaible and insidious hatred against
the very foundations upon which all
government and social order and social
morality are based. 1t is a propaganda
against conjugal fidelity. against flial
plety and against parental love.

ABOUT A SECOND Term.

Says the Anaconda Standard this
morning:
The friends of President Roosevelt are
beginning to insist that the question Of
his candidacy in 1904 is no longer open
to discussion Events over which he has
had no control have. so they argue, made
him the logical and Irresistible candidate
in the next presidential campaign.
If the friends of President Roosevelt
are worthy of the name they are not in
sisting on his candidacy in 1904 or any
other time. The subject of his possible
nomination is one which naturally fills
the democratic mind with apprehension.
but republicans are not discussing it as
a present issue, and out of Difference to
the president and the delicate position
in which the late national tragedy has
placed him, all are carefully avoiding any
political talk which may add to his en-
barrassment. The New York Sun, one of
the few republican papers that has al
luded to his candidacy in 1904. contents
itself with stating that he will be the
logical candidate if his administration
shall prove successful. That is probably
the view of most republicans, but until
he has had an opportunity to prove his
fitness for the position it will be mani
testify premature as we'll as most en-
phatically unwise and unpatriotic to STIR
Up partisan feeling against him in the
present emergency, however adroitly
such work may be attempted. Mr..
Roosevelt is on trial before the American
people. He has no desire to impair his
usefulness to the country by pulling
wires or allowing his friends to pull
wires for his nomination to the presi-
dency as against the many republicans
who have equally laudable and proper
ambitions in that direction. The Inter
Mountain mistakes the character and de-
sires of President Roosevelt if he has
given moment to any selfish thought
of his own advantage during the grea:
crisis which has placed him at the head
of national affairs, and so, while it is
natural perhaps for the newspaper
organs of the democracy to resume their
attacks upon him and his supporters
with view of creating dissension in re-
publican ranks. it is hoped that no re-
publican will imagine for moment that
the new executive has done or will do
anything to justify a belief that any
hope he has is not wholly unselfish and
patriotic.

NOVEL WEAPONS OF WARFARE.

An order which the dispatches say
General Kitchener recently sent to his
subordinate officers directing them, when
in pursuit of the Beers. to dispense with
unnecessary baggage. and particularly
with pianos and harmonious. may
serve to explain why, in so many In
stances, their pursuit is fruitless. Mu-
steal instruments on battlefield. except
the fife and drum or the brass pieces
considered necessary to inspire the cour-
age of the soldiers, have never been con-
sdered by competent military authori-
ties to be an essential part of the imple-
ments Of war. AS instruments OF torture
the piano ond harmonium have their
uses. but the days Of the Inquisition are
over, and prisoners of war are not now
adays punished by their captors, except
when they attempt to break their parole.
The only inference is that the British
officers have been relieving the tedium
of long marches with the soulful strains
of Beethoven and Wagner. and that in
stead OF exhausting themselves in pur-
suit of the enemy, they have preferred
to gather around the campfire and take
their exercise on the piano and har-
monium. This sort Of thing is costing
the British people about a million dollars
a day. and doubtless decreasing insur-
erals. Now that General Kitchener has
ordered the system changed, the war
will probably be resumed.
