If the elections of 1882 make an end
of the fraud that has been current in
this country in the name of Republican
Stalwartism, the Republican party, and
we presume the country also, will profit

cial, Rep.
We have long thought "the country"
would profit greatly" by the overthrow
of the Stalwart Republican party. 1t is
time there was an end of fraud-of false
counts and false pretences.

Hinder's Performances.

The performances of Joe Hinder, the
wife beater, appear to have been on an
even more extensive scale than reported
yesterday. Besides twice beating his
wife, he subsequently went to the house of
E. G. Rittenhouse, where he drew a razor
on Mrs. Rittenhouse and assaulted her.
His wife sued him for assault and battery
and surety of the peace before Alderman
Barr, and for assault before Alderman A.
F. Donnelly. Rittenhouse made COM
plant before Alderman Barr. Alderman
Donnelly this morning returned Hinder
for court, and he will have hearing
before Alderman Barr at four o'clock this
afternoon on the several charges preferred
against him before that magistrate.
Hinder led the officers a long chase, but
was finally captured in the neighborhood
of the furnace.

Mr.. and Mrs. J. Harlan Hess, formerly
of Quarryville, now of Gloucester, c. H.,
Virginia, write US that the report that the
Colerain murderer and fugitive, James
Shaw, had been in their country and had
stopped at their house before they knew
of his crime, is entirely false. They had
very slight acquaintance with Shaw,
scarcely knew him at all do not know in
what part of Virginia he had lived, and
have never seen him since they removed
to that state. OF course no person ever
entertained the idea for a moment that
after Shaw's crime became known he could
have ventured near Mr.. Hess without
being promptly apprehended.

ST. MARYS FAlR.

Prospective Opening Of . Brilliant feseival.
The fair in aid of st. Mary's orphanage
will open in Fulton hall on Thursday
evening, April Goth. 1t promises to be
one of the most brilliant and attractive
yet held in this city. No cost or pains
have been, or shall be spared to make it
such. A large number of costly and
beautiful. articles have been given by kind
friends, and will be displayed on it's tables.
These are in the best OF hands, and if
their success be equal to the reputation
and popularity of the ladies' who preside
over and assist at them, the result will
leave nothing to be desired. Miss Kate
Kelly, wellknown as an indefatigable
worker in every good cause, presides over
one of them, and Mrs. Richard A.
Malone, widely known and esteemed, over
tho other. Mrs. Carpenter presides over
tho confectionery table, and Miss Boyle,
assisted by the Misses Coyle, Altick aud
Haberbush, over the cigar table. Tho
management of the fair is in the hands of
gentlemen whose urbanity and experience
are sufficient guarantee of good order. All
the details connected with it have been 50
arranged that it is believed ladies and gen
tlemen, young and old, will be able to
spend pleasant hour in tho hall, free
from many of the annoyances too often
felt in places of this sort. Children shall
not be allowed to solicit votes or chances
in the hall, and every attention shall be
shown strangers who may visit it.

The Chinese ExclnSIOn.

The House of Representatives has
passed, by very large majority, Chi
nese bill amended to meet the presidents
objections and likely, therefore, to re-
ceive his approval and to become q law.
Under it Chinese immigration is cut of
for period of ten years. The president
objected to the twenty years. limit Of
the former bill as an unreasonably long
period. The force of the objection is not
very clear. If the exclusion of the Chi
nese is a good thing, it is good thing for
twenty years /; if bad thing, it is bad
for ten years. The real question is
whether they should be excluded for any
period. The question is one which man
ifest!y has two sides to it, and the real
solution is to be found, as it is in most
questions, in a mean between the ex-
treme opinions. On tho one hand, it il
clearly repugnant to the spirit of our
government to exclude any race from
our land. No race exclusion is asked
for against any people but the Chinese, q
race with the oldest civilization on the
globe, and especially noted for its devo.
tion to labor, which is the wealth Of ma
tions.
But, ON the other hand, it is clear
that the American laborer has valid
ground Of objection to being forced into
competition with the labor of a human
machine which is habituated to main
tain itself in life and -vigor at SO small a
cost as that which keeps together the
Chinese soul and body. And the fact
being that this competition would not
assume alarming proportions from Chi
nese immigration, but is brought about
by Chinese importation, it seems that
this is the thing to be forbidden by the
law. A half dozen Chinese companies
import into California ship loads Of Chi
nese laborers to answer the demand of
large labor consumers, such as railroads
and manufacturers. 1t ought not to be
difficult TO prohibit and prevent such a
wholesale importation Of what the coun.
try does not now want and this without
forbidding purely voluntary immigra'
tion of Cinnamon. 1t Is certainly re-
pugnant to our sense of justice to forbid
the Chinese to come where every other
race is welcomed. When we admit the
descendants of Ham to our civilization
we cannot fairly shut our doors to any
other of the human family; forno other
race is more distinctly different from the
white in color and constitution than the
black. On such broad grounds the presi-
dent might creditably have rested his
veto. 1t is but trifling with the question to
put the right or the wrong of it upon the
number of years of the Chinese exclu.
sion.

Judges Salaries.


There has been much complaint on the
part of the judges of the several courts
of common pleas throughout the COM
monwealth that the salary Of $1,000 per
annum is inadequate compensation for
the labors required of them in the dis
charge Of their duties. But from the
developments made by the board of audi
tors of Lancaster county it appears that
out of the 3lS working days in the year,
including all legal Holy Days, III of
those working days are required of the
Judge and jury commissioners to proper
ly fill the jury wheel and draw the jurors
for the several courts held during the
year. OF course when John 1. Hartman
and A. L. Ringwalt, the present jury
commissioners,te testified under oath before
the board Of auditors that III days, occu-
pied in filling the wheel and drawing the
jurors, were just and true estimates of
the time they were engaged in that ser
vice, it must be assumed as correct until
proven untrue. But the reader will
naturally inquire what right have our
judges to complain of their salaries of
$4,000 q year, when III days Of their
time is required to perform the mere
ministerial duty of filling the wheel once
a year with names of proper men for
duty as jurors, and to be present at the
drawing of the juries for the several
terms of the court to be held during the
,,o., O>ho r or;cIof,,ro i, ;tu x,,;odo,,o hoe
fixed the compensation of the jury COM
missioners at $3.50 per day and the
duty of the judge of the court in this
business is precisely the same as that Of
the jury commissioners, and is only en-
titled to the same compensation. Now,
if we deduct III days at $3.50 per day,
equal to S427.5O, from the salary of the
judges 81 900 per year We have for their
pay for actual judicial service for the
balance Of the year> So, 572. SO. If we
take the Ill days required by the Jury
commissioners and the judge of the
court to attend to the jury business,
there only remains out of the 3lS working
days in the year, 142 days to be devoted
strictly to judicial duty, and at the pres.
ent rate of compensation to the judges
of 50, $3.50 for actual judicial duties.
This is more than $25 per day, or over
S., 500 per year for all the working days
in year. Does any one suppose for a
moment that any judge Of the courts in
the rural districts of Pennsylvania is
entitled to SIS per day for his services as
judge We apprehend not. We have
known the judges of our own courts to |
cut down the fees of auditors in passing
upon exceptions and distributing estates,
to less than So per day, whose reports, in
everything that relates to profound legal
learning, judicial composition and
scholarship, the judges themselves
might feel proud in being able to ap-
proach.
