SATURDAY EVENING. NOV. %, 1906
Repr manded by Judge.

A decided sensation was causee IN
court at Pottsville, Pa, yesterday when
Judge Mari, from the bench, accused
officers Of the United Mine Workers OF
sitting in court to intimidste jurors ID
cases where the miners union was con-
cerned. This statement was brought
ont while the court was censunng
Jury for acquilting union man OF as
saut.
Rev. Peter Roberts, Baptist clergy
man. who was foreman OF the jury, and
who was a prominent witness for The
miners before the Presidents strike COM
mission, presented to the court a protest
from the Jury because its verdict was
ov .rruled in putting the costs of the case
ON the coal and iron officer who was the
prosecutor.
Judge Mari said "This is not a war
on labor unions. Labor unions profess
that they favor peace and are opposed to
disorder. One ofyou, am informed, Is
the president of union. There are
possibly some union men sitting around
here and ! am glad they are, 50 they
may hear what ! say. Some OF the
leaders we're here during the trial, pos
sibly TO intimidate you. Why didn'
the leaders come in and have the guilty
parties punished That would be the
proper thing to do. You sometimes let
your judgment run away with you and
bring your organization into disrePute;
such yerdicts do themselves aud your
labor unions injustice. Labor unions
are all right if they are conducted ac-
cording to their profession.

THE REVENUES
Revenues Must Be More Stable and in Time of Peace
Equal Observation-Disclosures of Reciprocity
With Other Nations Should Be Considered

There IS more need or stability than OF
the attempt TO attain an ideal perfec-
tion in the methods of raising revenue;
and the shock and strain TO the business
world certain TO attend any serious
change IN these methods render such
change inadvisable unless for grave
reason. II is not possible to lay down
any general rule by which TO determine
the moment when the reasons for will
outweigh the reasons against such a
change.
Much must depend. not merely on the
needs, but on the desires, OF the people
as whole; for needs and desires are
not necessarily identical. OF course no
change can be made on lines beneficial
to, or desired by. one section or one
StHte only. There must be something
like a general agreement among the
citizens of the several States, as repre-
sented in Congress, that the change IS
needed and desired IN the interest Of
the people as whole: and there should
then be "A sincere. intelligent. and dis

But in time of peace the revenue
must on the average, taking a series of
years together, equal the expenditures
or else the revenues must be increased.
Last year there was a deficit. Unless
our expenditures can be kept within
the revenues then our revenue laws
must be readjusted.

SANTO DOMINGO
Present Arrangement with the Island Government Has In
creased the Revenues of that Country If not
Continued Chaos Will Result

this arrangement the Dominican gov
ernment has appointed Americans to
all the important positions in the Gus
toms service. and they are seeing to
the honest collection Of the revenues,

American.
After Customs.
The custom houses offer weIl-niSh the
only sources OF revenue in SantO Do
mlngo. and the different revolutions
usually have as their real aim the OBJ
tanning possession OF these custom
houses. The mere fact that the col
lectOrs OF customs are Americans. that
they are performing their duties with
efficiency and honesty. and that the
treaty is pending in the Senate. gives
certain moral power TO the govern
ment OF Santo Domingo which IL has
not had before.
This has completely discouraged all

already produced such an increase in
the revenues that the Government -
actually getting more from the IS per
cent that the American collectors turn
over TO it than it got formerly when 1t
took the entire revenue.
IL is enabling the poor harassed people
of Santo Domingo once more to turn
their attention to Industry and to be
free from the curse of fnterminable
revolutionary disturbances. II offers

and European, the only really good
chance to obtain that to which they
