Women as ArbitratOrS.

\ novel precedent in Pennsylvania jur-
isprudencc and one that will doubtless
excite considerable discussion among
members of the legal fraternity is invOlv-
cd in an elaborate opinion fled on Mon
day by Judge Handlcy Of this city, in
which he maintains that women are eligi-
bic to act as members OF Boards Of Arbi-
traitors. In case arbitrated here few
months ago II lady was appointed mem
Der of the Board and for this reason Mr.
Warren J. Woodward, counsel for the
party against whom the case was decided
took exception to the award on the
ground that under the law Of 1886 women
could not act rs arbtratOrS. The Opin-
ion Of Judge Ilandlcy meets this objec-
tion by citing the act of William the Sec
ond of England from which the law of
1886 is copied, aud under which women
were originally permitted to exercise the
office. The statute is silent as to sex, its
precise language being "person or per-
sons" which the Judge holds may mean
men or women. In support Of the posi-
ton which he has taken he goes into
English history at considerable length to
show that as far back as three centuries
ago women did not find it incompatible
with the delicacy of their sex to act as
Sheriff and that in one notable instance
learned lady was "Chancellor." While
there would seem to be nothing SO very
startling in the fact that a lady acts upon
a Board of Arbtrators, when we find the
fair sex practicing in the United States
Supreme Court, yet the innovation has in
it certain element OF novelty, which il
derives from the fact that this is the first
instance in which the question was rails
ed in Pennsylvania, and possibly the first
time that lady has acted in such capaci-
ty in this State. There is no good rea-
son why the right should be denied 80
woman. She has distinguished herself
in medicine and in the schoo-room. The
Office of County Superintendent OF
DCuOOlS Is uOb DCl OIu uCI IcdCu Tie
time may come when she will reform the
jury-box. Whatever lay or legal cynics
may say concerning the position taken
by Judge Handley, it is certain that his
chivalrOus opinion will win favor with
those Of the fair sex who believe in en-
larging their sphere of usefulness. With
women practicing as lawyers, doctors,
county superintendent and arbitrators,
1t requires no very great stretch Of the
imagination to locate period in the fu-
ture when they shall preside IN our Courts
and sway the dcstinies Of the jury-box.
Let "lovely woman have a chance by all
means in the great battle of life, and
whenever she meets a husband whose
special talents fit him for such domestic
duties as dIsh-washing, let her be in
position to assign him to his proper
sphere while she goes forth to win dis
tinction in the professions, and like Por-
tia, astonish the Courts with her elo-
quencc and wisdom. .-Scrdnton Repubh-

The Missouri river was on ram.
page last week. The town of Fl.
Pierre has been completely obliter.
ated from the face of the earth by
the immense floods. The low bottom
lands all along the river have been
inundated and thousands of cords
OF wood and railroad ties have
been washed away and lost. At the
pointed woods the ice cut down the
largest trees as easy as if they were
sapliAgs The little town of Green
Island, situated Immediately across
the Missouri from Yankton,. was
wrecked and washed away. Church.
es, business buildings, residences
and saloons all went down in the
common ruin. The gorge having
broken, the floods, the ice foes, and
the wreckage swept down the stream
in an irresistible torrent, carrying
destruction to everything that It
came in contact with. The steam
ferry at Vermillion, and the steamers
which were caught in the torrent,
went down in fragments toward the
gulf. To add to the horror of the
scene, party of wreckers defed the
authorities at Pierre, and would
have ravaged the ill.fated town had
the citizens not organized to repel
them by force of arms.

The difference between the position of
the Readjusters and their opponents in Vir-
ginia on the debt question, says q Washington
correspondent, which has been made SO promi-
nent by tho contest in the Senate, is about as
follows: McCuliough's Cor the Debtpayers)
bill fixed with the consent Of the creditors the
debt at $s2,ooo,0oo, made the oou-
pons receivable for taxes and other
dues to the State, and the bonds non
taxable. It fixed the rate Of interest at an
average Of per cent. Rddlebergers bill,
which the Readjusters stand by, fixed the debt
at 500, DOC, 900, made the coupons not receiva-
bic for taxes, made the bonds taxable, and the
rate of interest 3 per cent. It was proposed to
make this bill a law. without the consent Of the
States creditors, on the ground that it was
Just to both the creditors and the State. The
Readjusters' bill excludes from the State debt
the interest accumulated during the war and
the reconstruction period. McCullough's
bill includes this.
