RIVAL RESTAUIsANTS

The Glory of Barbary Coast to bo Revived
Our readers will remember. the proud
pre-eminenca which erstwhile the ''Snap-
per Box saloon enjoyed on Barbary Coast,
when t!Iat classic region was the centre of
politica. discussion and of competition for
the prize belt in the pu.ilistic ring. The
glory of those departed days was re-
called pathetically some time ago by the
announcement that the snapper Box"
was closed. It will be revived, however,
by the tidings that this famous resort is to
be Ietitted and opened in time for the COM
ing Republican campaign. Levi Sensenig
having built Il large addition to the LeOp-
ard hotel, and fitted upa saloon fronting on
Grant street, application for it's license for
tavern, aud ut least for restaurant, will
be made while his political rival, Samuel
A. Croft, is to assume proprietOrship oil
the Snapper Box The rivalry between
them may manifest itscf in competition
Tor license and in cross relnOnstranccs it
certainly will cnsue in their struggle for
the patronage OF the politicians. Each
place, it is expected, will become the
headquarters of one Of the factions in the
Republican party i'm this county. The re-
organized Bull Ring will find it's abode at
one and the Hog Ring ut the other, and
{" horns and ''hOgsheads will be the
symbols Of their trade, in spirits and in
votes but just which one will accOmmO-
date which ring cannot be determined
until the politicians have more definitely
taken sides. Then Barbary Coast will see
the splendor of its former days and the
L. X. will oEcc again invite it's champions
into the lists.

away with. When the College of Music
was started it was the expressed under
standing that it should be place where
everybody could so and enjoy music in its
highest and purest form, but the trustees,
with Geo. Ward Nichols at their head,
were endeavoring to introduce features in
the college Objectionable to the best class
of citizens many Of whom had lent their
aid in establishing the college. What was

Saving Reading.

Mr.. GCwen seems to have entirely sue"
ceeded in realizing the deferred bond
project for relieving the Reading rail-
road from the pressure Of its heavy in
debtedness :: but, latter convincing the cap
italiStS of what it seemed it would be
very hard to convince them, he now
finds his difficulty in persl,aGing the
stockholders, or rather the heaviest
owners of stock, the Messrs. McCalmont.
The fact undoubtedly is, in regard to
this scheme. that it is Instantaneous
to the stock or rather that il would lie
so if all the stockholders could be in
duced to put their hands in their pockets
and pay their portion Of the money
needed to discharge the pressing indebt-
edness Of the company. But this they
will not do and the ingenious scheme
of Mr.. Gowen preserves their road
to all the stockholders, relieving them
from the necessity of contributing
their Share towards the object,
to keep their stock. They pay
a heavy price for this in agreeing
that the men who take their places shall
have securities given them at thirty
cents on the dollar. But certainly the
project is Il baneficent one to them and
probably the United States judges will
Say TO the McCalmonts that it shall not
be disturbed at their demand, unless
they are ready to present a party
Who will take up the debt of the
road on still better terms. COM
planning of this scheme they must
Certainly be ready to offer il better. They
have not takei. their share of the bonds :;
and are hardly therefore in a position to
say that the terms offered are unduly ad-
vantageouS to the takers.

why lie Is to be Appointed supreme u.igo.

Why he Is to be Appointed supreme judge.
fhiladeiphia Evening Telegraph, Rep.
The president betrays the great trust
which the constitution cOnfides to him
when, from personal, partisan, or other
reasons, he presumcs to nominate for the
supreme bench q lawyer whose learning,
integrity and judicial spirit will challenge
the most searching criticism. The Senate
equally betrays its trust when it superser-
vIceably confirms what it knows to be an
unit nomination. There is no necessity
whatever for Mr.. Hayes, Or any president,
to seek to put on the supreme bench Sec
Ond or third rate man. In the ranks OfbOth
parties are men who have every Qualitica-
tlOn for this bench-meI who, while holding
positive opinions on cOntrOverted political
questions arc nevertheless learned in the
law, have well-balanced judicial minds,
and who can be relied upon to give judg-
ment between suitOr and suitOr in accord
ance with what they honestly believe to be
right interpretations OF the law. There is
no necessity whatever, for instance. for
Mr.. Hayes to pass by the very many first
class lawyers who have years been prOmi-
nently identified with the Republican
party, in order to reward the exceedingly
inconsequential personal and political ser
vices OF MIR. Stanley Matthews by nOmin-
ating him as the successor Of Justice
Swayne. Mr.. Matthews came to the front
few years ago in very brilliant fashion.
Much was expected Of him, and srcvous
was the disappointment when, after
first-rate opportunities having been
given for the demonstration of his
quality, it was made as plain as daylight
that he was-to put the case very mildly
only second-rate lawyer and second
rate statesman. He was not success in
the House, he was 4 dismal failure in the
Senate, and he has done himself no honor
by hanging about Washington since his
unlamented exit from the Senate, waitin.
to be provided for in a soft place. As at
present composed, the supreme court Of
the United States has no more dignity
than Is necessary to keep it within the
respect OF the public, while it will come
near falling into utter contempt if Mr..
Matthews Or any Of his particular kind are
added to iJs composition. There is no
earthly reason why Mr.. Matthews should
be nominated to succeed Justice Swayne
except that he is politician out Of Office.
and has performed some supposed per-
sonal services for Sir. Hayes. I'm plain
language, he will be put on the supreme
bench to decide final appeals between the
citizens OF this nation because Mr. Hayes
thinks he owes him something and is anx-
lous tc force the public to pay the debt.
1.-THE Senate We're composed of real states
NEIL and true patriots, such 4 nomination
as this could not come within sight of
confirmation. As its, however, mainly
composed OF men who do not know what
Or patriotism means, ard
who are nothing if not professional politi-
clans, the chances arc all that Mr..
Matthews, if nominated, will be confirmed.
