as the bill at present stands, q man
will be liable to arrest oh suspicion

an offense, even In Engiand or the
United States, and with the amend.
msnt providing that u person, to
be arrested, must be in ireland Of

for Ireland, during the debate,
made the definite statement that
the advice given to tenants not to
pay rent, or to pay Grifflth's valu.

for arrest, but indictments to acts
Of violence or naturalization would
be so regarded. There still remain

Washington Capital, Dem.l
The confirmation of Stanley Mat
thews e~levates to the supreme bench
the first really brilliant man and pro-
found jurist put there in a generation.
Chase was a great man, but his great
ness was that OF the forum rather
than Of the bench. He was not a
profound legal scholar or a subtle
jurist like Matthews. As for the bal
anee, they have all been smart attor-
neys like Joe Bradley, skilled in the
art of making law fit cases, or amiable
mediocrities like Waite, in whom a
certain quality of sluggishness is
sometimes mistaken for dellberation,
and organic dizziness for profound
mental gravity.
We expect Of Matthews a great
judicial career. He has the advan-
tage Of beginning his work at a time
when the hot controversies Of preiu-
dice, growing out Of civil war, are
giving place to interpretations Of the
constitution with respect to those
deeper and subtler problems Of politi-
cal materialism that take hold upon
the roots Of society. This is a field in
which the grandest intellect may find
ample scope for the highest and no
blest Of its powers. We take little
stock in the theories lately current
that the career Of Matthews as a law
yer or legislator has preordained the
bent OF his judgment upon the class
Of questions 10 which we refer. He
Is too broad and catholic a thinker,
not only in law but in 10 the philoso-
ply OF government; too earnest and
conscientious a devotee of the rights
OF the mass, which is the essence of
democracy, to fail to realize and to
observe the wide distinction there is
between an attorney arguinga case for
ms client and the judge sitting in final
Judgment upon the constitutional re-
latiOn Of the interests of individuals
or corporations to the welfare Of the
body polite.
Mr.. Matthews ascends the supreme
bench at a comparatively early age.
Barring accidents, there is a quarter
OF a century Of his prime powers and
faculties in him, and thereby so much
OF active career before him. During
that time some stupendous questions,
just nov looming mp, must be dis
cussed and settled. The opportunity
IS a vast one. We have no doubt
that Mr.. Matthews will be found equal
to It at every point, and chat in the
end he will prove to have been one OF
the wlsest and best jurists that have
ever ,graeed our great bench Of last
appeal.

In Love With a NaiI.cutter.

Pittsburg special A shapely little
blonde beauty, aged seventeen years,
with golden tresses and violet eyes,
was nabbed at the Union depot to-day
by detective Bowden. The girls name
is Ida Hall, and she was arrested on
a telegram from her mother, Mrs.
Kate Hall, of Philadelphia. 1t seems
that the young girl had run away
from a palatial home in Philadelphia,
and was on her way to Wheeling to
meet her lover, John Bright, who is
an humble nail cutter in th,t city.
She had met and fallen in love with
him on the occasion of a recent visit
to Wheeling. She showed the detec.
tive a letter from him, full of burning
protestations ~ofaffection, and contain
ing minute directions for her fight
Her lover had also sent her money to
pay her fare. Miss Hall will be Sent
home to her stern parents to-day
She is the heir of $4,000, and her
mother and one of the county judges
Of Wheeling are her guardians. Her

Dorm, near Galveston, and was sunk
above Greenwood, in the Tallahatchie

Of this city, where her wreck still
lies. On decoration day, at the

his hand as a token of reconciliation
between the north and the south, as
exemplifed in his appearance at the
ceremony, to do honor to the memory
OF the union dead. The audience, a

Losses Of British Farmers.

Mr.. John Bright, the English
statesman, said in a public speech:
II was talking the other day to a gen.
tleman who as a large landed proprie-
tor in the midland counties, has had
an enthusiastic love of agriculture for
thirty years, and who knows probably
as much of the facts and figures as any
man can know in connection with that
subject; and he says that, judging from
the losses which he has suffered dur
ing the last two years, he is quite GER
tain that the land of this country has,
during that period, suffered an actual
loss of not less Than 15O, 000, 900 pounds
sterling. Now, if you recollect that
for every acre plowed, narrowed and
