IN THE VOLTS E


= r. HENRY T. DAVIDSON, of the VOLTS Den at the corner
IN Of Wall and Broad streets, is credited with being the person
who is to do the "killng' of the peoples will in the subway matter
suck out the marrow, and, after feeding himself and the cubs, will
perhaps sooth us all by adding a sphntered panel from some Italian
ckprch to the magnificent rubbish stored in the Metropolitan Museum
Of Art, or by a liberal contribution TO the Cathedral Of 81. John the
Divine. Mr.. Davidson takes the place of George ". Perkins, who is
out in the world with Fathers Letter, making a new start in Life!
20 But why must all matters of public finance go to fatten the wolves
in the den? The $685. 900 which Mayor Gaynor proposes to give
the Traction Trust is not cash money from the ctys chest, but
merely 20 much credit against which bonds will have to he issued and
sKe funds borrowed just as would b. the case if the PETERBOROUGH went
mao the market and offered bonds of its own. The only effect is TO
limit the ctys borrowing power for years and prevent another admin
istration, which by chance might prove true to its trust, from starting
competing subways.
.S5c The reason is clear. The $500, 900, 900 tange Of bankruptcies
called the Inter Met. system is awaiting reorganization, It will af-
ford splendid picking for the wolves. Taken over for a song, well
inargined by the certainty Of monopoly, sure of their ownership of
ton Trust will once more, and for the fourth time, unload upon in,
,estors the fruits of their wreckage and start the trusting idiots on a
new pocket-emptying course. 1t has been done often and recently, but
it remains for The Master Wolf to give the eliminating exhibition of
his ability to manipulate public confidence. 1t will soon be on view,
and New York, instead of paying the simple interest of A l2 per cent.
Upon an honestly built subway, will be burdened with providing profits
on FIVE TIMES the cost of existing surface and 81" lines, with the
es per cent. now paid to the subway outfit on top of the public money
mich built the basic line, but also will be expected to do as much more
in an earning way on the proposed extensions.
High finance s still IN is infancy in this town!

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
How Matthew Stanley Quay
Used His Recreation to
Gain a Political Victory
By Holland.

Matthew Stanley Quay. chairman Of
the Republican national committee
which carried on the successful presi-
Dental campaign of 1888, and United
States Senator from PENNSYLVANIA
from 1887 to 1905. gained the reputa-
tion Of being the most expert political
manager of his time. The public. how
ever did not know that Senator QUAY
found his chief recreation in his H.
brary and was almost as good an au-
thority upon literature, classic and
modern. as he was upon politics.
While he was IN the Senate Mr. Quay
devoted much of his leisure to the
reading of the documents contained in
the Senate document room, and he was
almost as familiar with those which
bore upon tariff discussions as was the
famous AMI Smith. who carried in mis-
head a complete record of all the docu-
ments. thousands in number. In the
Senate document room, of which he
was superintendent This acquaint-
ance with general literature, and es-
pecially with the documents in the
Senate document room bearing upon
tariff questions. was the weapon upon
which Senator Qauy relied for defeat
ing one clause in the Wilson tariff bill
of 1894.
Soon after the bill was reported to
the Senate and while 1t was still in the
Senate committee. il was observed that
Senator Quay made frequent visits to
the document room and was i'm earn
est conversation with Amzi Smith
When a colleague met him one day as
he came away from the document room
with bundle Of documents under his
arm. Quay was asked what he pur-
posed doing with all those documents
"Oh, ! may have TO make a speech
on the tariff bill, was the reply
After the bill was reported to the
Senate, Quay announced that he did
not approve of the sugar clause Of the
bill. and that he purposed TO speak ia
opposition TO H. He gave notice Of the
day when he would speak. and at the
appointed time he arose in his place
and began his speech. His manner was
very quiet He used none of the arts Of
rhetoric, but az the same time he inn
pressed upon the Senators the fact
that he purposed lighting the sugar
clause to the end. He occupied all of
the time set apart for daily discussion
and then, as he took his seat Quay re-
marked Mr., President, | intend TO go
on with my speech tomorrow"
When the morrow came Senator Quay
again took up all the time set apart for
daily discussion, concluding with the
announcement that he would continue
his remarks the following day. when.
the hour for daily discussion at hand,
he arose and wandered off into the
field of literature, modern and classic.

BRIBERY LAW CONVICTION.

A BOUT the time when a great many people
a began to think that prosecutions for alleged
violation of the election laws in this state we're
useless, because Of the few convictions secured,
along comes the court and makes the despairing
ones sit up by imposing stinging sentence on
a Bridgeville man who was charged with attempt
ing TO hribe voters and who answered that charge
al first by fleeing from the state. II didn't take
the court composed of Judges Conrad, Boyce and
Rice. long to reach decision. Both fine and inn
prisonment term of six months, we're imposed.
In handling these cases our courts have made
it clear that they would not convict except on the
most conclusive evidence, and the Judges must
have had no doubt Of the guilt of Conway.
We cannot imagine a harder case for a court
10 decide than one Of alleged election bribery The
verv nature Of the transaction, the character and
class Of the people mixed up in such netarious
business make it difficult for the court or the law
vers for that matter, TO distinguish the truth from
a frame-up.
The Sussex Court in this case has shown that
the law is not dead letter by any means The
term Of Acknowledgement imposed by the law seems
10 us 10 bevoo short Instead OF ten wears it oughs

THE ROBERTS CASE

TT IS very difficult for The Journal. because of
n its prejudice against the taking Of human life
by the state to comment upon the Reese Roberts
case which has been more or less in the public
mind for some time
An atrocious crime was committed for which
some one should be punished Roberts was con-
Wcted by the courts in presumably fair trial He
was sentenced TO be hanged under the laws of Del
aware Every avenue of appeal has been opened
to him and he has had the advantage of as able
counsel as he could get if he had unlimited means
at his command.
The Governor has stepped in on several occa-
sions, evidently reluctant TO permit the man to 20
TO death If his counsel and friends could show that
the jury erred in its verdict and that an innocent
man was convicted AS the case now stands such
evidence has not been produced to the powers that
be sufficient TO warrant the reversing of the sen
tence of the condemned negro
It is not to be presumed that the Governor will
keep on interfering with the work of the court un-
less conclusive reasons are shown to Justify such
interference
The Roberts matter should be disposed of def
nitely one way or the other before long.
