New Castle. Feb. 3.

New Castle. Feb. g.
After session lasting until mid
night the Presbytery OF New Castle
last night found the Rev. Robert A.
Elwood. OF Olivet Church. guilty OF the
first. fourth and sixth counts Of the IN
dictment growing out OF tle preaching
of "A sensational sermon ON the day be-
fore the lynching Of the negro, George
White. for the assault on and murder
OF Miss Helen Bishop.
These counts alleged that Elwood
violated the constitution OF the Pres
byterian Church and the confession OF
faith by not preaching sound doctrine,
charging responsibility in case OF lynch
ing upon the courts, thus throwing
criticism upon the courts. and advo-
eating the lynching of White under
certain conditions.
He was declared not guilty on the
other three counts OF the indictment.
The Presbytery then appointed a
committee composed OF the Rev. J. l..
McElmoyle. the Rev. I. A. McCurdy.
and the Rev. $. r. Shaw, all oppon-
ents Of Elwood. to make the report on
the matter OF appropriate punishment.
In addition TO the ministers on the
Committee ON Punishment. Elders II.
l.. Duyekinck and J. B. Hodson We're
added. The vote convicting Elwood on
the three counts on which he was
found guilty was % to 20; 2S to Is; and
"A TO IS. on one other count the vote
was tie and Moderator North cast the
deciding vote in favor Of Elwood.
Just a few minutes before midnight
the committee returned and reported
that its punishment is that "the Rev
r. A. Elwood be cautioned to be more
careful in the future"

Judamsnt Of Prssbxtsry.

The exact text-of the Judgment OF
Presbytery was as follows:
sAdectionately counseled 10 be more
judicious in your utterances in the fu-
ture."
Mr. Elwood dictated the following
statement.
According to the finding Of Presby-
terry / was guilty OF three things, spe-
cifications one, four and six. and inno-
cent Of the other three For some rea-
son even though guilty. according to
Presbytery, no censure was laid upon
me, but I was counseled TO be judi
cious. My view OF the finding is en-
bodied in the sentiment expressed TO
me by a prominent member OF the
Presbytery This is a complete vindi-
cation. Elwood, for Presbytery did not
dare punish you in any way. because
you are too useful a man. "
He concluded:
Finding Of Presbytery. guilty: pun
ishment. none; benediction. Go thy
way i'm peace

with American Ea rmers For Doubt
fuI Dickers With Canada.
In state like Massachusetts where
The intellectual average Is high and
where the Republican average is high
er still, as it Is invariably found to be
in all communities, it is surprising that
50 considerable q number of people
should be apparently unable to per
ceive perfectly obvious thing. 1t
seems strange that among the $4,000 or
the 10000 or the 100000 or whatever
may be the real number of Massachu-
sets business men who have attached
their names to the Canadian reciproc-
ity petition at least one-half of the
sgners-the Republican half-cannot
see that they are being used by de-
signing politicians to promote free
trade scheme and to weaken the Re
publican party. We say among the
$4,000 or $4,000 or 100000 signers. AS
matter Of fact, 1t Is unlikely that so
many as $4,000 have signed the Whit
ney-F Foss petition. Probably less than
half that number Of business men have
signed. 1t is easy to exaggerate in
such cases.
But. be the number what it may
even supposing that 1000 or 5000 Re
publican business men have actually
signed the Whitney-Toss petition--the
wonder still remains that so many IN
teliigent men should have failed to see
that they We're lending themselves to Il
plot Matched and promoted by free
traders. Mr.. Whitney is free trader
in politics. Moreover, he owns coal
mines in Nova Scotia and stands to
reap much profit if free trade in coal
can he brought about Mr.. Foss, though
claiming to be protectionist, has over
and over again declared himself to be
a rabid revisionist and strenuous ad-
Vocnte of such reciprocity as will cna
bic him to buy cheaper the raw mate
rials used in his manufacturing bust
ness But he has not, we believe. ever
expressed a desire for lower tariff du-
ties on the articles which come into
competition with his own manufac
tured products
1t ought to be by this time perfectly
clear that the Republican signers Of
the Whitney-Foss petition are on the
wrong track. Not only are they being
used as tools by free trade cabal but
they are giving their moral support to
n project that, If successful, will in
evitably work to their injury. They
ought to stand pat. They are already
enjoying the benefits of q system of
reciprocity of far more value to them
than Canadian reciprocity can ever be-
They now have system of reciprocity
with the 100000 farmers III the
United States. Canada's entire popu,
lation is but little more than 5.0O0,0 ,000
From these 100000 American farm
ers New England buys its foodstuffs.
and to them it sells its manufactured
products Is not that reciprocity! Yes,
and far better reciprocity than can be
had with Canada. Canada wants to
sell her cheaper food products and her
cheaper raw materials to New Eng
land, but she is not going to buy Of
New England dollars worth more of
manufactures on that account. That
much is settled

Improvement of Roads Adds to til
Value OF Real Estnte.

Whether a city or town should III
crease the taxes or issue bonds to pro,
vide for good roads and paved streets
is. of course, a matter that depends
very much upon special conditions and
localities, says Good Roads Magazine.
But be this as it may, It may be broad
H. stated that the individual citizen
gets n far greater return for his eX-
p2ndlture for taxes, provided such out
lay be made wisely and economically,
than for any other purpose.
lhe taxpayer has not only the per-
sonal advantage of the use of good
roads and smooth streets, but these
likewise add greatly to the value of
his real estate. In this sense he ought
to cheerfully bear his share for such
improvements, although, of course, in
a potential sense bond issue may
easily be justified.
AS matter of fact, the real estate
owner may we'll bear an increase of
500 annually In his taxes provided
this increase be pro rata with that of
others, while he wisely hesitates at an
expense of quarter of that sum on
his own personal estate. All this, of
course, goes without saying, and vet
the taxpayer often forgets 1t.
