SOME PERPLExING LAWS.

\ The Philadelphia Record calls atten-
ton to some curious anomalies in the
criminal laws in some of the States Of
the Union. For example. a man cut
nearly half a ton of lead pipe from
| q building In Delaware and sold II in
Philadelphia. An attempt was made
| to punish him for what was plain
theft In the eyes of ordinary people,
but the effort failed. Under the laws
Of that State all buildings and their
| fixtures and attachments become part
| of the real estate, and as real estate
cannot be stolen, the thief who cut
out and carried off the pipe was not
| guilty of a crime. Theoretically, the
criminal laws of Delaware would no
more punish a man for carrying off
| part of house, than 1t would for car
rying of a handful OF dirt or gravel
from the place, for If the water and gas
pipes become part of the realty and
| thus cease to be property which can be
stolen. the same would apply to all
other improvements of any kind, and If
the law is carried to It's logical conclu-
sion a thief might remove a building
by piece, with all the fixtures and ap-
purtenanees, and II punished at all. It
would be for mere trespass. Great
law. that.
But they have another law or con-
struction of law. which is equally con-
fusing. One who robs an orchard Is
only trespasser. He may gather and
carry off all the fruit in the orchard,
but can be held and punished for tres
pass only, which is a comparatively
trivial offence. The farmer or orchard
ist might use a load of birdshot on
the thieves, but he would be liable for
! Indictment for It,
Watermelons, however, occupy an en-
tirely different place in the laws of
Delaware. Whether those who made
the laws a long time ago looked on the
luscious melon as something sacred,
or what was the cause we cannot say,
but watermelons are personal proper
ty in Delaware and he who steals one
is thief and is punished accordingly
We rather suspect that when their code
OF laws was constructed, negroes were
plentiful in Delaware, and had the same
unconquerable desire for melons that
still forms part of their nature; hence.
it was thought necessary to make 1t
crime to steal one.
But just here we get into another
tangle. If house is part of the real
estate which cannot be stolen, why
isn't a watermelon? 1t may be argued
that as the farmer plants the seed and
cultlvates the plant. the melon thus be-
comes part of his personality, which
may not be stolen with impunity.
Granted. but does he not plant and
cultivate his peach trees? Then why
are they not personality? Give it up
In fact, one would think that the wa
termelon lying on the ground would
with greater propriety be considered
part of the realty than the peaches
but it didn't strike the Delaware solons
| that way.
We should like to see what the Del
sware laws say about fowls We nre-

rHE LONDON TIMES AND RUSSIA.

TnE ,LONUON TIMES AND NuSSIAs
II Is not an edifying spectacle The
London Times has been lately furnish
ing In it's abuse OF Russia. Russia has
few sympsthizers. but most men like
Times. Englishmen seem little disposed
to show even the small consideration
due an ancient foe in dealing with the
Cars Government. At -. Petersburg
It Is announced that while the Malacca
win be released on the oficfal assur-
ance from London that the military
stores aboard had been assigned by
the British Governmental Hong Kong.
this release is not intended as a prece-
dent, and will not be observed as such.
Russia will continue to search for
contraband. This IL Russfa's undoubt-
ed perfect right and England in so far
as she yields to the clamcr of the jim
goes will cut but a sorry fgure in try
ing to protect her huge contraband
trade with Japan. To outsiders It
looks as IL England were weli-minded
to take an advantage of what may be
considered the extremity to which Rus
STA has been reduced and defantly vio-
late her obligations as a neutral The
Times has bullying insolence of tone,
for the like of which one would have
to go back to the several periods when
we as a people CHANGED to be embroiled
In war or In quarrels with England.
Then that paper had no epithets too
coarse for the United States.
Happily the Government under the
lead of Balfour seems to be keeping a
cool head and apparently have no In
tention of trying to put Russia in
hole out of which she would necessar-
lily have to fight her way. The two
countries In spite OF all jeaiousies and
gether on the same continent for
hundred years with only one clash, and
the Crimean War is now universally
.condeded to have been a blunder in-
its inception and In It's prosecution
Why should either country now desire
war? We are bound to feel it is alb
surd to suspect Russia of a wish to
entangle Europe in her contest with
japan. Saving her face In that way
would be childish enough; too child
ish for even that child like race. Rus
siR plainly would assert acknowledged
rights as to forbidden trade In contra
band stuff. She means to the extent
of her power and resources to enforce
these against England, Germany, the
United States or any other country
whose merchants are trading illicitly
with the Japanese. 1t was comic to
see the dismay in shipping circles
when the Vladivostok fleet appeared in
the open Pacific. The consignees at
Seattle and San Francisco knew they
were mounting tons of contraband
afioat for Yokohama and that this was
threatened with interception and con-
fiscation.
Thanks to the exigencies of a Pres
identfal election. and thanks also to
the fact that Russia is a great power,
our militant President has behaved
himself decently enough in the matter
of the seizure of the Arabia. Even
DULLES are not going to war about
question of contraband.

LAWYERS IN THE CAMPAIGN.


The campaign has hardly begun and
yet 1t is plain that whatever the indi-
vidual view here and there as to Roose-
velts disregard of constitutional re-
strictions. there will be a very large
body of voters. especially in the East,
who will support the Democratic tick
ct on the precise ground that they see
la il an assurance of a Government ad-
ministered according to law. The dis
trust of Roosevelt is shown in the large
number of distinguished lawyers who
supported Mckinley that openly pro-
claim their determination to vote for
Parker. Jno. E. Parsons, Edward NJ.
Shepard, VIM B. Hornblower, Francis
Lynde Stetson and now A. B. Board
Senator Platt's son is a partner. are
among the few who have declared for
Parker. Towering above all these,
though, are the figures of Grover C1eve-
land. olney and Judge George Gray.
There is another sign, too little not
ed. pointing in the same direction, a
distrust of Roosevelt's lawlessness and
that is the action ana words of ex-
Secretary Root. His first public utter
ance after he left the Cabinet was
plea for an adherence to constitutional
limitations in Government and the dan
ger now imminent of letting State af-
fairs drift into illegal courses. He has
followed this up by refusing positively
to run for the Govetnorship of New
49, AA
him long and hard to consent.
We see in some of the papers a pre-
diction that he will be nominated after
all: that he is just coQuetting with his
Party and when the Convention meets
and with practical unanimity calls up
on him to serve, he will gracefully ac-
cede We may be deceived, but 1t
looks more probable that Root has de-
cided to get clean away from the
BRONCO busters crowd and wait to try
his fortunes in 1903.
In selecting the course of these law
Is not done with any notion that the
bar occupies so very commanding a
place in influencing results at the polls.
They have a great and undoubted
weight, but just now their attitude is
most significant as proving a lawless
Executive has provoked their sober and
serious opposition. AS a class the law
yers will be found squarely aligned in
favor OF the limitations of law and
against its violation under any pretext
whatever.

CHAMBERLAIN SPEAKS.
British Statesman Re-opens the Fiscal
Campaign.

London. Aug. 4.-Joseph Chamber
lain re-opened the fiscal campaign to-
day addressing a meeting of ten to
twelve thousand persons from the sur
rounding agricultural countries in the
riding school of Welbeck Abbey, the
seat of the Duke of Portland Noting
hamshire.
He maintained that the misery of
their grandfathers was due, not to the
price of grain, as alleged by the free
traders, but to lack of employment. 1t
was therefore the duty of the people
to ascertain what policy would give
most employment and most wages. He
proposed to give agriculture the same
advantages as manufacturers by i'm
posing an impost duty on the chief
products. ramely, SO cents per quarter
on wheat and such duty on flour as
would result In the whole milling of
wheat being done in this country.
He would place a similar duty of SO
cents per quarter on every kind of
grain except maize which was an i'm
portant food stun and per cent on
meat dairy products. butter. cheese
and preserved mnk. poultry. eggs, veg
etables and fruit.

A nrMprrous NEGRO.

A Baltimore paper called The Afro
American Ledger, an organ OF the me-
groes of the East, recently had an ed
itoriai on the subject Of what are usu-
ally called Jim Crow Cars" on rail-
roads and street railways. AS might
have been expected of a negro like the
editor Of that paper, he seems to feel
surprised that any negro should not
object to separate cars or seats for the
races, and appears to think that his
race lowers itself by submitting toethe
separation.
We are not surprised that Northern
negro. as this one evidently is. should
consider It a degradation to be depriv-
ed Of the privilege of mixing with the
white folks and some Of his arguments
are thoroughly typical Of his kind. He
admits that by having separate cars
the negroes have more room and are
not bothered by being crowded by the
white folks. but with the utmost SIM
plicity he declares that that is Just
what is the matter" and adds that I'VE
are so constituted that the thing other
folks want us to have is the very thing
we do not want
Isn't that typical of the class of ne
groes who have brought themselves to
believe that they should enjoy all the
rights and privileges, social and 9TH
erwise. that any other citizens enjoy?
1t is also suggestive of the type of ne
gro to which the editor belongs, that
they want certain things just because
the white people don't want them to
have them. and on the other hand they
don't want what the whites want them
to have. That is a sentiment that pre-
walls among a certain class of negroes,
and the sooner they get rid of 1t the
better.
So far as the railroads are concern
ed we contend that the colored people
should be treated with exact fairness
and justice. If the railroad charges
them full fare. 1t should ensure them
equally good accommodations and see
that they are not imposed on. In other
words let those who pay equal rates
receive equal returns. for that is JUS
tice anu nOtIiHe IloIe. Al the Same
time every railroad of every kind in
the South should provide, maintain
and enforce separation of the races. 1t
is not hardship on the colored peo-
pie and 1t Is the only way to keep
the peace. The way to prevent trou-
BILE is to provide against 1t, and this 10
one of the ways. If the negroes are
not willing to ride in separate cars,
when they are equally good. let them
walk-the editor of The Ledger with
the rest.
