presidents vigorous denunciation of all

THE Sun, which started out as good

at the signs of Sargent in the cabinet.

PEOPLE who watch with zest the
tilts OF lawyers in the courts,
and often wonder at the hard
words they use to each other, will see, from
an account We print of the compliments
passing between Judge Livingston, of
Lancaster, and Judge Clayton, Of Media,
that the amenities of the bar extend even
to tho bench.
The DAILY 1NTELLIGENCER again pre-
sents its readers with Saturday supple
ment, containing fourteen columns the
size Of the regular edition, and, besides
considerable original and local matter of
special interest, a very charming account
of visit to the Holy Land by S. S. Cox,
than whom none Of our public men is
more versatile in his erudition or of keener
observation. As the Christmas time ap-
proaches this sketch of the land over
which the star of Bethlehem shone gains
special interest, and our readers will fol-
low with attention their fellow country
man in and about the place where the
Child Redeemer lay in the manger.
RUSSIA, never free from some sort Of re
llgious, political OF social revolution brew
ing, has trouble over the forced deposi-
tion of Metropolitan Michael, the head Of
the orthodox church in Servia. He ap-
peals to the Holy Governing Synod of
Russia, which has good deal of feeling
against the Servian churchmen. In Rus.
sia the anti-Jcwish troubles are far from
being settled. "To America ~ is the
watchworu spreading among tho Russian
Jews. Hundreds of them have already
left for America, and tens of thousands
arc ready to 60. The Russian anti.Jewisll
journals try their best to bring odium
upon the Jews by spreading reports about
the Kahal, kind of Jewish inquisition,
and use persecution, plunder and misrep.
resentation to hurry their exodus to
America.
THERE was a convention in New York
the other day of what one of the newspa-
pers called "a score of the wild.eyed ad-
herents of the institute Of Hercdity,"
though great many very sensible people
find a great deal of valuable study in this
science of heredity. At this convocation
some queer things were said by some
of the queer men and women who helped
to constitute it. Ono Of the eloquent doc.
tresses classified women under four heads,
namely those who can and make good
wives and mothers, and who form so per
cent. of the race those who make good
wives but not good mothers, and who are
Is per cent. of all those vino are good
mothers but not good wives, 20 per cent,
and the remaining Is per cent. who are
neither good wives nor good mothers. In
the fourth class arc the dressmakers,
school teachers and others, and Mrs. DR..
Chase thanked God fervently for the old
maids. They are, she said, the thinkers !;
educate them, and they become the best
members of society. They are thinkers,
logicians and writer's. According to Buckle
one man in $4,000 is the proportion of men
marrying women old enough to be their
grandmothers.
We take pleasure in reprinting and COM
msndiug the very sensible view which the
Philadelphia Press entertains of the ques-
ton of the Utah congressional delegate.
It accords with what tho INTELLrGENcER
has said upon the subject and it is only
illiberal and bigoted partisans who will
make a party issue out of this question.
Certainly if Cannon, tho delegate-elect, is
an unnaturalized foreign-born citizen, and,
therefore, ineligible to Congress, he should
not be given the seat to which he seems to
have been unquestionably elected. Just
