The Philadelphia Press of Saturday
says: The graveyard insurance business
is about to be put on the defensive. and.
we suspect, to be entirely put down In
spite of the growing public sentiment
against these companies and the assaults
which have been made upon them by the
newspaper press and judges upon the
bench. they have continued to find favor
with the unrefecting and the ignorant
A great many Judges have refused to
charter any more OF them; but there were
enough others taking different view of
their duties in the promises to provide the
State with scores of these i'll omened and
constantly increasing corporations. To-
day application will be made at Harris
burg for n writ of quo warranto for the
practices which are common to all of
them. The chief ground of complaint is
that assurances are made rs policies as
signed to persons not having any insur-
able interest in the person upon whose
life the policy is taken. II is from this
fact mainly that the abuses OF this system
flow. They have already been productive
of great mischief. and in several known
cases of the gravest crime; and no efforts
should be spared TO have them summarily
aud effectually suppressed.

The appointment of County OIL
GERS.

We are surprised to notice in fusion ex-
change an intimation that difficulty may
arise between Gov. Plaisted and the council
in the appointment for next year of those
county officers whose terms expire the last
day of the present year. including one COM
missioner in each county. and sheriff, clerk
of courts, etc, in part of the counties. This
intimation ought not to have any foundation
because the Just and common sense solution
Of the matter is obvious when il Is con-
siiered how the vacancies will arise. what the
intention of the legislature was. and slso the
fact that the appointing power is fusion as to
the governor and republican as to the coun-
Gil.
All of these offices have for long time
been filled by elections by the people. aud
the reason for calling upon the governor and
council to temporarily appoint, arises fran
the fact that the change from annual TO bi-
ennisl elections necessitated the omission of
the election in 1881, and thus gave no oppor.
tunity for the filling by the people of the va
cancies which will be created the last dav of
the present year, until another year. So far
as the officers elected BY the legislature were
concerned, the difficulty was overcome by hav-
ing the legislature last winter elect them for
two years instead of one. So far as the county
officers were concerned, the governor AMI
council were authorized to appoint for one
wear, in the expectation that the terms of the
officers elected by the people would he length
ened out another year.
Now in view of these circumstances the lust
and common sense solution of the matter, is
to appoint and continue in offic0anoiher year
the same county officers that were elected by
the pepple--thus not oaly dividing them POI
litically precisely as the counties stood when

Frank WilWOrth q LAWYER.

Among the applicants for admission to
the bar at Ithaca, N. Y, last week and sue
G,essfully passed their examination, were
the son Of Speaker Sharp, Of the Assem-
bly,, and Frank Walworth, who WAS par
doned out Cf the state prison four years
ago, where he was serving a sentence for
the murder Of his father, on the ground
that his physical constitution had entirely
broken down. Through strong influence
soon after his imprisonment, he was trans
ferred to the insane asylum on the ground
of insanity. He, however, was considered
sufficiently sane to be allowed to wander at
his will, and was frequently seen IN the
company of q gardener attached to the in
stitution named Thompson, who to a con-
sideta bic extent became his, confidential
friend. Thompson always smiled when
spoken to in regard to the insanity of WAL
worth, and some very beautiful verses that
the latter composed now and then bore out
the idea that Thompson knew what he was
smiling about.

A Lady Lawyers RetOrt.

From the San Jose Mercury.
Judge Tyler, of San Francisco, is we'll
known to the bar Of that city as most for
midable opponent, both forensically and
physically, as many learned counsel
upon the other side has found out to his
sorrow.
The Judge, who is SO used to dominating
his brethren of thu bar, recently met his
match in the lady lawyer of San Francisco,
Clara S. Foltz, who clipped his wind in a
manner that well nigh suffocated him. The
story is too good to be lost
The case of Tyler vs.. The Hibernia Saw
ings Bank was pending before one of the
city courts, involving the right to a certain
deposit of funds in said bank. Tyler was
his own attorney, and Mrs. Foltz was at
torney for the bunk. 1t seems that Tyler,
by little bit of sharp practice, was trying
to ring in cold deck" in the shape of a
default that had been enormously dated,
the admission OF which by the Judge upon
the bench would have sent the defendant
out of Court. Mrs. Foltz showed up the
matter satisfactorily to the Court and the
default was promptly set aside. This net
tied Judge Tyler considerably and turning
to tho lady counsel he said sharply, in a
manner intended to be intensly Impressive,
that counsel had better be engaged in
other business, that "a woman'G place was
at home raising her oh;lti1en,n
The worda wafe scarcely uttered before
MM. Eoltz rose in her queenly way, and
flashing her blue eyes straight into the
Judges ford face, she quietly remarked:
A woman had better ba engaged in almost
any busineas than in raising such men as
yau are, sir.
The Court commanded order, but in a
tone that seemed to appreciate the justice of
the retort, while number Of lawyers in
court, some of whose heads Judge Tyler
has held in "Ghaacery' on former occa-
SONS, ea,ae near exploding with suppressed
laughter.
* The counsel turned white with anger and
groaned in spirit, but concluded that it was
better to drop the subject then and there.

Wages and Days Work.

Labor is cheaper IN tho south than it is
here, and in many ways a cotton factory
can be run at less expense than it can in
Massachusetts,; but admitting all this, very
few of our practical manufacturers believe
that the south will ever he a formidable
competitor Of New England in the making
of cotton cloth. Why? Simply because
there are many more important factors than
wages which enter into the problem. One
of these may be briefly mentioned. We
work harder, during the time We are at it,

French laborer will lay about 400 bricks a

bricks, and 1000 per day is considered to
be very slow work. The difference in other
