End of the Litigation.

The withdrawing of the equity case
of Benjamin S. Robinson, Silas B.
Robinson and Aaron Mcdonald against
John M. Kemmerer and William
Creighton, is likely to end the litiga-
ton that followed in the wake of the
financial difficulties encountered by the
original Scranton Lace company. The
suit was instituted in 1900 and hung
fire until Thursday. An effort was
made to have the case continued until
the November term, but the court re-
fused to continue it any longer, and
the plaintiffs withdrew the action.
The suit was instituted by the plain
tiffs to recover money invested in the
Scranton Lace Curtain Manufacturing
company, the defendants being men,
bers of the board of directors. The
company was chartered on May 49,,
1895, and among the stockholders were
the plaintiffs, IS. S. Robinson holding
twenty shares; S. B. Robinson and Nc
Donald, ten shares each. In their suit
they alleged that the defendants,
Creighton and Kemmerer, entered into
conspiracy and caused a Judgment
to be entered by William Creighton and
NJ H. Burch, doing business as Creigh-
ton & Burch, against the Lace company
in the sum of $75,OOO.
An execution was issued and the
company's property was levied on. The
plaintiffs contended that Creighton had
no legal right to obtain preference as
creditor; that the judgment did not
represent valid Indebtedness, and that
the company did not owe Creighton G.
Burch the amount Of the judgment.
They further alleged that the execu-
tion was issued for the purpose of hav.
ing a sheriff's sale of the property,
and having it bought in by the defend-
ants and others, excluding the plain
tiffs. The court was asked to make a
decree setting aside the sale, and COM
pelling the defendants to account for
all profits derived from the business.
The defendants, In the answer, de-
MED the allegations made by the plain
tiffs and asserted that the sale was
valid and that they We're not RESPONSE
BILE for the plaintiffs loss
For a long. time the defendants have
been eager for trial, but the plain
tiffs always sought continuance.
When the equity list was called Mon
day, the plaintiffs wanted contin-
uance, on account Of the absence of w.
II. Burch, of Philadelphia, who was in
the South and could not be obtained.
AS this same Burch mad been the
cause of many previous continuances
the court refused to consider it an ade-
quate reason, in the face of the warm
protests of the defendants.
The plaintiffs We're. however. al
lowed until Thursday to get Mr.. Burch.
They had not succeeded, but on that
day asked to amend the bill by maxi
ing the Scranton Lace Curtain COM
pany defendant also. This was al
lowed, whereupon Welles and Torrey,
attorneys for the defendants, having
anticipated such step, filed a paper
entering their appearance for the lace
company, and also filed an affidavit Of
defense for it. The case was again
ready for hearing, but Attorneys
Burns and Dawson, who appeared for
the plaintiffs, renewed their motion for
a continuance. 1t was refused by
Judge Kelly, and thereupon the attor-
neys for the plaintiffs withdrew the
case

Won't Make q Deed.

A bill in equity was filed in court
yesterday by O'Brien & Martin for
James Cudahy, of West Scranton,
against Patrick Dowdell, OF West Sem
eca, N. Y, in which the plaintiff asks
court to have the defendant execute a
deed for piece of property on Fourth
street.
Dowdell formerly resided in this city.
and inherited two pieces of land. situ-
ated on the easterly side of Fourth
street, from his father John Dowdell,
who died intestate in 1891. Dowdell sold
lot No. to Cudahy on April 81, 1902,
and the latter alleges the deed for the
land was Incorrectly drawn up, the title
conveying lot No. 2 instead of lot No. l..
Cudahy paid $400 for the land, and
when he discovered the mistake, had a
new deed drawn up, and went to Sem
eca to have Dowdell sign it. but he re-
fused. Court is asked to compel him to
make q deed.

his money would both be in danger.
Many other pashas are very rich,
but they send their money ont of the
country as q precaution, for they
never know when they may forfeit
their sovereign's favor, and that usu-
ely means the confiscation of their
estates and perhaps decapitatiOn or
imprisonment for life. When prom
inent man disappears in Turkey no
questions are asked. IL Is impolitic
to be inquisitive.
Said Pasha, the grand vizier, says
the Chicago Record Herald, is believed
to be an honest man. He Is one of
the few prominent officials of the
government who has not amassed a
fortune while In Office. For that and
other reasons he has many bitter
and revengeful enemies. Six years
ago, when he was grand vizier. he en-
deavored TO punish certain infuen-
tial pashas for robbing the govern
ment. They engaged in a conspir-
acy against him and got the ear
of the sultan. He believed their
statements. and sent the Kapu-aghasi,
chief of the white cunochs and first
officer Of the imperial bed chamber
the sultan's most confidential man
to summon Said Pasha to his pres
ence. The kapu-nghasi Is always an
unwelcome messenger. because the
sultan trusts him when he will trust
nobody else. When he carries mes-
sage IL has unusual Significance.
Said Pasha understood the situa-
tion, and. instead of going to the pal
ace. sought an asylum at the Brit
ish embassy, where Lord Dufferin,
then Ambassador, gave him protec-
tion. Nobody knew what had become
Of the grand yizier until after seven
days. when he sent a carefully pre-
pared report of his proceedings and
the motives OF the conspiracy against
him to the sultan by the hand of
the British ambassador. The latter
explained to the sultan his ideas Of
the case. and vouched for Said Pashn

and gave n formal assurance that

embassy and returned 20 his own

The Happy Medium.

Some one has said "Give me
neither wealth nor poverty," which
is as much ns TO suy that the mid
die ground between these two OK.
tremes was the ideal existence ns
far ~ the possession Of this worlds
goods il concerned. This same
truth manifests itself in many 9TH
or respects. II is the extremes which
bring about the harmful results.
Last year it was too dry, and as
consequence the farmers corn
field made poor showing. This
year il was too wet, causing dam
age to the crop. If we could have
just enough rain and just enough
sunshine what bountiful harvest
would there be.
President Roosevelt in his re-
cent speeches has introduced this
thought in the treatment OF the
trusts and the tariff. While there
are extremists who would wipe out
the trusts slick and clean, the
president would eradicate the evils
and permit the good to remain.
While there are some who would
abolish the tariff altogether, and
still others in the other extreme,
who Look at the tariff as sacred
and would not touch in under any
circumstances, Mr.. Roosev cit
would revise it carefully, reducing
it where it is no longer necessary
and letting it stand where it is de-
sirable.
That the tariff is nh ever present
question is evident from the fact
that during the past twenty years
there has been four new laws per-
tanning to the subject-namely,
the 50 called commission tariff of
1888, the Mckinley law of 1890,
the Wilson law of 1891 and the
Dingley law of 1897. There have
been besides two unsuccessful bills
long debated.
The country has evidently suf-
fered considerably in the past by
the sudden transition from The
one extreme of an unduly high
tariff TO almost absolute free trade,
aud it is evident that the best poll.
cy is in neither the one extreme OF
the other but on the middle
ground,
The question then is to find the
happy medium whereby those in
dustries which really need it will
have just protection, aud those
which are able to prosper without
it may be deprived Of it. The pres
ident suggests II commission CON-
