CHIEF JUSTICE.
Nomination of Waite, Of OhIO.--
sketch Of His Life. y /

SAeICn OF Ills LlIeS =
TOLEDO, Jan. 19.-The nomination d
Mr. Waite for Chief Justice Is received by
his neighbors with expressions Of great
est satisfaction by all parties. To. morrow
mornings Commercial will give q briel
sketch OF Mr.. Waite's life, from which II
appears he Is the SON Of the late Ohiei
Justice Waite, Of Connecticut, one Of
the leading judges Of New England.
He IS now lin the fifty-eighth year
OF his age; graduated at Yale College
at the age Of %; came to Toledo in 1888:
studied lay with 8. n. Young, now ol
Toledo, with WHOM he practiced 'tort 1s
years. He has for many years stood at
the head Of the bar OF Northwestern Ohio.
In 1849 he was elected member OF the
Legislature, serving with distinction. In
1862 he was q candidate for Congress,
and though defeated received q ma.
jority of 1900 In the city Of Toledo. In
December, 1871, he was appointed as o
counsel TO Geneva, which position he
filled with honor. Heis now serving as
member, and is the President Of the
Ohio Constitutional Convention, to which
he was chosen by the unanimous vote Of
both parties. The present appointment,
like his other public honorS, has come
to him without the slightest seeking on
his part, he having discouraged his per-
sonal friends from efforts to secure the
place for him, His neighbors feel every
assurance in.this, as In every other trust,
that he will abundantly justify the conf
dence reposed In him. 70 !fl2E

PennsYlvanIa Coal Miners,.

WnKEsBARRB, January 19.-No new
developments have been made to-day in
regard to the probable length Of time the
suspension Of mining will continue in this
region. The miners are rapidly orpaniz.
ing In all sections Of the country under
the National Association. A meeting was
held OF Plymouth this morning for the
above purpose. The streets OF that
borough are thronged with idle men and
boys, and such Is the case with every
village and city In the mining districts.
Tomorrow o meeting OF the Executive
Board Of the Miners and Laborers Asso-
citation Of this county will be held here.
John Luiey, President Of the National
Association, and @. B. johnson, editor Of

one for the County Court The
expenses attending. the holding Of the
first two terms Of the County Court In
many counties are greater than the cost
Of the whole year under the old system.
Allowing the average however to be one
thousand dollars to each county, and we
find that the hity.iour counties in the
State are burdened with an unnecessary
expense Of $4,000 every year.
THE OHIO COUNTY SYSTEM.
But 1t may be said that any county or
district can adopt the system at work in
Ohio county. Now let US briefly exam.
Inc this system and apply q few facts and
figures 10 It also. In the first place the
Judge oil the Court receives q salary OF
$4,000. Now the expenses attending
each term Of the court, which comes out
Of the County Treasury, say, $1,000.
Multiply this for the four annual terms
and we have $4,000, or q total expense
per year Of $4,000.
The expenses attending examining
courts and other incidental expenses are
not included In this sum; so that here Is
80 600 drawn out Of the pockets Of the
people, in addition to those attending the
sessions Of the Board Of Commissioners,
which arc equal, If not greater, than those
OF the Board Of Supervisors, already
exhibited. And Notwithstanding this
great additional outlay attending the
administration OF justice under the coun.
y court system there Is no perceptible
diminution In the expense of running the
other courts Of the State, 80 lar as can be
ascertained. u ~.
THE NEXT COMMUNICATION.
In our next we propuse to take up the
article Of the Constitution In relation to
the Executive Department Of the State
government, and endeayor TO ascertain
what it means-whether 1t means any
thing or nothing according to the caprice
Of any Legislature that may happen 10 be
In power, and with whom the Executive
may not be in accord. If the preroga.
tives ol the Executive Department oE the
government can be declared null and
void and the duties set aside by a Legis.
lature or Supreme Court, at its will and
pleasure, 1t certainly Is important to the
public to know the fact, IN order that some
steps may be taken by the people to rem.
edy the detects In the present Constitu-
ton. Perhaps, however, before We give
ourselves any anxiety about the Guberna.
torial branch Of the government we had
better wait and zee who really is Gov
ernor-.whether 1t Is Governor Jacob, the
man for whom the people voted, and
whom they supposed they had elected,
or whether it Is Pat Daily, the isnitor,
under the recent ruling Of Auditor
Bennett. =" Ex.MRMDRR

The Boston journal has made out q
detailed statement of the losses by fire
last year in this country, the largest by

and finds the amount to be $50, 100000,
OF fires that destroyed less than $1,000

were 15s, the property consumed being
$9,6S9OOO. OF fires destroying less than

cast In this Dlstrict-viz-for Davis 49,
S8l, for Wilson l9,94s and for INV.
Rock 4.
In the Second District, at the same
election, there were 4,179 votes Cast-yiz
for Hsgsns, 3,44l, for Bo,eler, Ss7, for
Lamon, 255, and for several others SO.

In all there were 44,91s votes cast in

not vote for Congressmen, and 5Ot499 Vo'
teB who would not 60 to the polls in
October and vote. In view OF these facts
the Charleston journal deduces the fol.
lowing conclusions: Peg
To recognize the August period would
be to concede the authority Of q Conven-
ton in. the selection Of . Time for Con-
gressionsl election. The Constitution Of
the United States reserves this to the
Legislature Of each State. It would be
also to ignore the silent opinion and will
oil 88,9H votera who Fabataiued from a
ballot for Representatives. 10 uLt
To recognize the October period would
be u perpelrate fraud upon the people
Of the State Of West Virginis, and TO say
that one.iourth OF her voters may be
heard, and the will OF three. .iourths, clearly
indicated In their absence from the polls,
be ignored and set aside. taa y :,
In the name Of these SO, $50 voters, who
In confusion and doubt Of the lawful time
intentionally declined to recognize either
period, we respectfully ask that the Con.
gress Of the United States remand the
question Lack to the people for their will
10 new election, the time Of which shall
be definitely fixed and legally settled.
