Our Judiciary Bill.

Was vetoed last week by Governor
Hoyt. 1t no doubt made an unneces-
sary increase in the Judges of Penn
sylyania. For instance there was not
Q particle Of use in dividing this dis
trict. Warren, Elk and Forest make
an easy district for any Judge, and
taking off Elk was altogether un-
necessary. The new Constitution
made the increase of Judges in the
State too easy. When our new Con-
stitution was adopted seven years ago,
we had 80 President Judges and Is
Assistant Law Judges in Pennsylva-
mia. Now we have As judicial districts
with 70 common Pleas Judges and 8
Orphans Court Judges. In other
words, we are now paying 7S Judges
for performing the labor performed by
IS only seven years ago, and the new
judicial apportionment would have
added 10 new Judges, or more than
double the number deemed necessary
when there was quite as much busi-
ness for'the courts as there is now. By
thisiucrease of Judges, under the bill
vetoed, $500, 900 would have been added
to the cost of the Judiciary, and Gov.
Hoyt acts wisely in correcting the mis-
y fake 1f the LegisAture, always too
willing TO aceommodate ambitioas,.le-

Referring to a little matter viii

Referring to little matter which
Is agitating Philadelphia just now,
the Lancaster NeW Era says: "The
act of l72l, prohibiting the sale of fire
works, and under which the Mayor is
now acting, has perhaps never been
strictly lived up to a single time in
one hundred and sixty years. The
City Of Philadelphia herself has
through her municipal authorities,
violated it time without number by
purchasing fireworks at the munich
pal expense and setting them off I'M
der its own direct supervision. We
have vivid recollection of seeing the
grandest display Of fireworks ever wit
messed on this continent five years ago
in Fairmount Park"

Owing to the great increase of
railroad traffic on the Pennsylvania
railroad between Philadelphia and
New York. the management are con.
templating the plan Of introducing a
four track system. Since the Penn
sylvania company assumed control of
this branch in 1872, the road has
carried II, ,494,7l5 passengers. OF this
number during period of nine years
only five were killed, showing q per-
eentage Of one killed in every 14,29S,-

hibit, and shows the excellence under
which the road is operated.

money and time and health TO give
a higher price for what we eat, if it
be fresh and perfect, than to obtain
it for less on account Of its being
wilted or old Or partially dcCayed.
Some people prefer to make their
meat tender by keeping, which
means that decomposition is taking
place; in palmer phrase, it is rotting.
Such meats require less chewing aud

ON A CROPPED MAIDEN.

She's rosy, bright and fair,
And cuts her curly bair
Like mop.

From her dainty little shoe

How studious she looks
AS she's working at her books

But sometimes there will unfurl

Then the rosy head she shakes,
Which matters only makes
Rather worse;
For the curly little pate
Becomes, instead Of straight,
The reverse.

If she wore her hair this way,
Would appear?
Though Pm certain that to me
No other could be
Half so dear.

HARD FAN APHoRISMS.--Any KIND
of an honest job is better than nc
job at all.
Take dollar a day for your work

A mans best friends are his ten

When evil days come, as evil days

gentleman if he does not take honest
work to do, regardless of social
influences.
When country boys come to the
city, if they will hold on to the old

Keep your grip on the hard pan Of
principle and good conduct, and you
will be men of good name and good

Work is good medicine.
The story that Miss Minnie
