DdVIS-hOWc prosecutions UeSdu, Wuo
was not and is NOT still as liable to
its penalties as any who have been
prosecuted. The law declares that it
shall 20 into effect June /, though not
signed by the governor until June S.
For month or two after that there
was not even register in the prOthonO-
tary's Office for any doctor to record his
name in, and few of those now recorded
were registered for several months after
the law became operative. For practic-
ing in the meantime every one Of them
is liable to such prosecutions as have
been brought and if the blackmailers
succeed well in their present venture,
the entire fraternity in Lancaster county
will be their next tgame-whether of high
or low degree, quack or regular, old
school or new, pOw-wower, fire blower
or blOOd-stOpper. What field opens for
the operation of the blackmailers
JUDGE REEDER, very short term
judge of Easton, appointed by the gov
ernOr, and who is about to so off the
bench to make room for the elect of the
people, has raised a novel question, if he
has not established Il novel precedent, by
admitting to the bar, in the absence of
his colleague, an applicant 10 whom that
colleague had denied admission and who
had in the meantime acquired no new
qualification. Just how many members
of court it takes to admit man to gen.
eral practice, or to expel him from it, is,
we believe, al open question in this state.
Judge Patterson was OF the opinion that
if he alone could expel members of his
bar he preferred to he reinforced with his
colleagues assent and SO he declared he
had it. We have heard several times of
late that Judge Livingston says this use
of his name and authority was unauthor-
lied. If so it would not have been too
early to have disscnted when his brother
read what he said was " the opinion of
the court" 1t is not too late yet to
have the truth of history made known. 4
ENTER winter-but not with big W.
MILLERsvILLE matters mournlully mix
cd. Students suspended suspiciously,
swiftly.
SARA EEKNHAEDT is stoned 10y the mob
at Odessa, every time she turns out, the
pretcxt being that Sara, the Jcwcss,
plundercd the people,
1F ga winters log will freeze Il dog, ~
the SIN thinks it very lucky for the dogs
that yesterday was November and not De-
ccmbcr.
AS the Manhattan gas company charged
Gen. Dan Z. Sickles for 1000 feet of gas
a month burned while he was in Europe
and his house was closed, he will wrcstlc
with the company in court over the bill,
and pending the action the court has re-
strained the removal of the meter.
ZACH CHANDLER was not tho man to
whom Hayes would have gone for ccrti-
ficatc of character for political gratitude,
libcrality or truthfulness. What old Zach
said about the Ohio man is interesting
reading even after one is in his grave and
the other supervisor Of roads.
The Garfield picture for Queen Victoria,
forwarded through the state department,
suf cabinet size, and 4 strikin. rescm-
blance to the late president, the eyes par
ticularIy being life like and expressive. 1t
was enclosed in All envelope bordered with
mourning, addressed to Queen Victoria,
and having the name of Mrs. Garfield
written on the lower corner. 1t was in
cascd in 4 box lined with dark blue satin
velvet, which WAS again ircascd in ma
hosany box.
ANOTHER student of the Millcrsville
Normal school has been requested to
leave, without notice or trial. His gentle
men friends in the institution, comprising
most of the male students, have exercised
the sovereign right Of petition to know the
reason why. 1t is to be hoped that in the
end, exact justice will be mctcd ont to all
interested, and that the one hundred
sisners of the petition will not be sus:
pended or expelled for the implied criti
cism upon the authorities contained there
in.
Our esteemed contemporary The Car
Isle Volunteer devOtes 4 considerable por-
tion Of its valuable space weekly to hold
ing up to public scorn and cxecrat:on the
wicked person who owns the Valley !Senti-
mel, of the same town, and who runs a
pool and billiard room in connection with
his newspaper enterprise. The powerful
arguments printed by the Volunteer to
prove the demoralizing influence of bill
liards and pool are enough to freeze the
blood in ones veins, and the moral turpi-
tude of tho Sentinel man could have no
stronger evidence than that conveyed by
the circumstance of his keeping right on
with his billiards and his pool and his
newspaper, paying not the slightest at
tention to the pious remarks of his truly
good ncighbor. This is distressing to
the Volunteer editor.
