Staunton spectator and vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1896-1916, 1904-01-15

Mr.. VIM. J. Bryan has returned
from Europe where he shook hands
with Kings, an Emperor, and Gar.
as we'll as many mobiles and great men,
including the Pope and Count Tolstoi.
He returns, he says, more in love with
hir own country than ever before. and
more than ever convinced that be has
been right in his ideas Of government,
especially upon the tariff. He was met
by a number Of his New York admir-
ers. ard entertained at the Victoria
Hotel. He was loud in his praises OF
our foreign ambassadors and their uni
form politeness and kind treatment
of him. He has travelled fast, but his
trip has broadened and general lied bis
ideas, and has shown that America is
admired and her leading citizens re-
garded IN peculiar and compliment
tary way.

poDsER DIETRICH.

That was . small hole Senator Deit-
rich of Nebraska creeped through to
liberty. Many a man behind the bars
has failed to escape through a much
larger one. 4
D. The Senator was Indicted for renting
q postof1ce building In Hastings. Neb..
to the postmaster after the Senator
had been elected to his Office. Tho
price was stiff one, and the circum
stances surrounding the deal had .
shady appearance. On tho trial last
week the in dictment was dismissed be
cause the court holds that although
MIR. DIETRICH was elected March 70,
1901, and accepted rentals from April
"a, following to Dec. 2, following. he
was not Senator, not having qualifl
ed before that body in the mean time,
there being no necessity until Dec. 2.
Shortly after Dec. 2. 1901, Mr.. Deit-
rich conveyed this property to his
daughter. which was after he had reg
ularly qualified as U. 8. Senator. The
opinion is silent as to when Mr.. Deit-
rich 8 pay as a o. 8. Senator began.
before or after this lease, but it is be-
lieved he drew pay as such Senator for
a period before his qualification, be-
cause be was elected to fill the unex-
PRED term of a Senator who had died.
Let this be as it may the ruse OF trans
fering the property to bis daughter and
the fact that after his election he was
In position to go before the depart
ments and exercise an influence he-l
could never have exercised before.
puts Senator DIETRICH in a most unen
viable light, and the slipping out on
certainly leaves his repu-
,ation far from being fully cleansed.

Mark that the means necessary" to
execute the process do not warrant
homicide, homicide being warranted
only to protect their lives, or as the
court puts it. ''save their lives.''
The human mind can hardly grasp
decision which holds that a fleeing
man going as fast as he could away
from those who killed him, could by
any possibility put his slayers in fear
of him. Slayers armed capa pie, Win
chesters and pistols, in the hands of
both and moreover in ambush, slayers
with two other friends in calling dis
lance armed like themselves-in fear
of bodily harm? Was ever such a
proposition heard of? Gould these
men have shot Hairless to save their
lives? The idea is absurd.
One can hardly read Of such q muir
der and the release Of the murderers on
the grounds alleged, and on such con-
struction of law without being more
and more convinced, that unless gov
eminent by injunction is limited there
will in short time be more outrages
practlced under it, than the mind Of man
can grasp, and that the weak and un-
protected will be butchered like dogs
as they have been in the mining re-
gions of w. Va, without any appeal
to Justice, or any account being taken
of crimes. Government by injunction
or attempted government by it, has
cost no less than three score Of lives
in. the last twelve months in that Sec
ton and all the parties killed by q. 8.

The question for determination is:
Does the eight-hour enactment of the
last session of the Nevada Legislature
violate the Nevada constitution
True, it is claimed in the brief of
counsel for petitioner that the said
enactment violates also the COnstitu-
ton Of the United States in it's Four
teenth Amendment; but this cOnten-
ton was abandoned at the oral argu-
ment, and the Supreme Court of the
United States, which is the supreme
authority as to what may constitute a
violation of that Constitution, has held
that such an enactment does not con-
travene the national Constitution.
Counsel claim that the enactment
violates the Constitution of Nevada:
% in section 81 Of Article w, as 10
the generality and uniformity of laws !;
CD in section II Of Article w. as to
multiplicity Of subjects; 90 in section
20 Of Article Nv as to local and special
laws; and ca in section l of Article 7,
as to (a) class legislation and CD it's
bill of rights as to first personal
liberty and second as to acquiring pro-
perty.
While counsel have cited the fore
going sections as violated by the en-
actment in question. they have not IN
their arguments kept the discussion
on each point separate: but several
points are mingled together in theil
discussion. Hence, the discussion here
will have to some extent to follow the
same method. The said points will
however, be separately discussed AZ
far as under the circumstances may
be practicable. a.
Section 20 Of Article Nv provides:
The Legislature shall not pass loca
or special laws" in certain cases there
in named: but the enactment In ques
ton here does not seem to come un

important concessions.

READY FOR WAR.
Garrison Strengthened at Port Arthur
Awaiting Developments.

st. Petersburg. Feb. "a Russian
correspondent OF The Associated Press;
1T Port Arthur tciegraphs as follows:
There is no truth in the report that
freight traffic has been stopped on the
Manchurian railway.
All the ships of the Russian Pacific
squadron which have been held in re-
sel're are now ii full commission.
The regiments of the Third East ST.
be:ian Iiiie Brigade which recently
left Port Arthur are taking temporary
stations along the Chinese railroad.
The Port Arthur garrison has Leen
strengthened by the arrival there OF
tbs Seventh Brigade of conscripts who
have recently been going through Il
short course Of training.
The stores of provisions and coal are
being accumulated and all the neces-
sary military works are being actively
pushed forward.
Roth the army and navy are in eX-
ce,lert condition ard everything is
ready for an emergency; but all are pa
tiently awaiting the outcome of the ne
gotiationS.
The Russian population IS tranquil.
Very few Russians are leaving, but
out and going home. These remaining
here feel entire confidence in the au-
thorities.
The announcement from Vladivos-
took that preparations have been made
for the mobilization of the Manchurian
reserves was premature.

ment. AS treasurer of the Athletic
Association he has done a very large
amount Of very valuable work,
His thorough knowledge of his sub
]ects and his reputation has made him
an especially able instructor. He has
always been recognized as one of the

and Colby will meet with a heavy loss
when his duties are, completed there.
He is representative of the "old fac
ulty" which has now been almost en-
tirely replaced by younger, men, and
one of the instructors whose work for
the college can hardly be adequately
estimated. He has always performed
his duties very quietly, the results
alone making him conspicuous. The
other members of the faculty.. the boys
and the graduates will all be. sincerely
sorry to hear of his resignation.

A Close Call.

Most members of the fire depart
ment here probably did not know until
yesterday. how near some of them
came to taking 4 fast ride to North
Arson, Thursday night. and putting up
n tight against n stubborn fire in the
zero weather. Chief Dow received
word about 11.30 that the services of
the department here might be needed
and was asked to be in readiness to
respond at any minute if needed. At
that time an attempt was being made
to get in touch with Col. Aver of Oak
land to arrange for special train over
the Somerset railroad and to have the
old hand tub sent up with men from
there.
The Oakland hand tub is now out of
commission, however. the town de-
pending on hose carts and the water
works for protection SO that the bur-
den OF giving assistance fell upon Wa
terville. For almost an hour n call to
come was expected almost any minute
ana Chief Dow was waiting ready to
call out his men and the steamer, All
that was needed was the one word
Come" and in less than half an hour
probably the men would have been on
the way. The Somerset road was in
readiness to furnish special train at
any minute and it would have been an
e1sy matter to get orders from the
Maine Central for the run from here
