HEATING A CITY BY STEAM.

Lockport, N. Y, Feb. 24.-The expert
ence of heating this city by steam has
proved highly successful Three miles
of pipe properly covered with nonCon-
ducting material laid under ground
through some of the principal streets ra-
dates from central boiler house, and
fifty different dwelling and other edlfces
including one large public school build.
ing, have been thoroughly warmed all
winter. Dwellings more than mile dis
tant from the steam generator are heated
as readily as those next door, Steam
meters are provided, so that each con-
sumer need pay only for what he con-
sumes. 1t is claimed that the system
can be 30 developed as to furnish steam
at fifty pounds pressure transmitted
through twenty miles of pipe, thus sup
plying power for engines and manufac-
tories, and steam for cooking and laundry
purposes, for extinguishing Confagations,
for clearing streets of ice or snow, or pro-
tecting hydrants from frost. The rates
actually charged to the consumer here
do not exceed former cost of his coal and
wood,

THE strong. g.minded women achieved q
legitimate victory in the House of Rep
resentatives last week at Washington,
when the bill relieving certain legal dis
abilities of their sex was passed by the
overwhelming vote of 169 yeas to 81 nays.
1t provides that when a woman shall
have practiCed law in the highest court
of any State or Territory, she shall, on
proper application, be admitted to the
same privilege in the Supreme Court of
the United States. AS their cause is
stronger in the Senate than in the House
the bill will no doubt BECOME a law. 1t
will be some time before woman lawyers
are numerous enough to endanger the
laurels of the stronger sex in the legal
profession.

Gortschakoff is eighty years old, the
richest man in Russia, and is considered
the most agreeable diplomatist in Europe.
One reason for his success is ascribed to
the fact that he is not required to make
speeches to the country. The Pail Mall

iloquently and gives high-minded rea-
sons for everything he advises or does.

TIE SLANDERER.

The canvass which closes this
week has been one of peculiar bit
ternes in this section. Men have
not hesitated to go outs ide the legit-
innate electioneering channels and
TO attack the private characters Of
their rivals and opponents. Some
or them, in their assaults, have net,
we are sorry to say, always confined
themselves to the truth. The SLAM
derer in private life is the most exc
cradle wretch in society. The indi-
vidual who wautonly and falsely as
sails the reputation of a public SER
want or q candidate for Office is not
any better than the cowardly assas-
sin who secretly robs the private cit
izen or his good name. The
Jonesboro' Journal well expresses
our views of this matter in the follow
ing extract:
We said in our issue Of last week
that we regard the slanderer as q
greater criminal than the thief.
Such is our conviction and such is
the measure of esteem which we
award 10 each. The one who steals
d horse or . hog is gentleman in
comparison with the wretch who

JUDGE MCKINNEY.
From the whitesburg Times.

This gentleman has been on the
Bench as Circuit Judge for the last
two years, and is candidate for re
election which takes place on the
first day of August. AS an officer
Judge Mckinney receives the praise
of the people of his entire circuit
He is an upright, just Judge--im.
partial, honest and entirely fair in
all his rulings and decisions. We
are glad to learn, as we do, from
various parts Of his circuit, that his
friends look upon his election as a
certainty. He has been on the
Bench now just long enough to learn
and become thoroughly familiar with
the routine work of the court. He
has done well heretofore, but is now,
as a matter of course, much better
qualified to dispatch the public bus
mess than ever before. He has
worked hard for two years to qualify
himself thoroughly to fill the high of
fee to which the people called him.
and it would not be fair or just TO
him to set him aside for a new and
untried man, just as he has gotten
himself in good working order. The
taxpayers of the country are deem.
Iy interested in this matter. Our
circuit courts are costing q large
sum of money. When the people
find Judge who will dispatch the
public business as rapidly as Justice
to complainant and defendant will
admit, they should hold on to him.
This is certainly no time for the i'm.
poyerished taxpayers of the First
Circuit to be placing q young and
untried man on the Bench. Judge
Mckinney has already reduced the
annual expenditures many hundreds
of dollars per annum. He has clean.
ed off the clogged and over-burden-
ed dockets, and made the Circuit
Court a tribunal in which a citizen
can bring a suit with fair pros pect
of getting just and equitable decis-
ion at the first sitting of the court
after suit is brought.
We are credibly informed that the
circuit courts are not costing the
people now much over half as much
as they cost five years ago that the
jails are regularly cleaned out and
every term of the court
that persons charged with crime are
tried and convicted or &C
quilted, and that the entire business
Of the circuit is in q shape to be
quickly attended to at the least pos
sible expense to the people. All |
his has been brought about by the
prompt, energetic management Of |
Judge Mckinney.
1t does not seem to US that the |
would be doing justice TO
to allow the defeat of |
such an officer as this. They owe it |
10 themselves to Ie-elecG Judge Nc
Kinney, and if the half we hear from
.he various counties composing the
circuit be true, be certainly will be
again madesJudge by a triumphant
AS a gentleman-quiet, modest,
lrbane and polite-the Judge has
few equals. As an officer, he ia firm,
ust, upright, and entirely impartial.
The good people of the Firs: Circuit
ought to vote for him aud elect him. |
they certainly cannot afford TO stand
IDLY by and allow him to be defeated. j
We believe and certainly, hope he
will be the Judge for the next eight
years-as he ought TO be.
