and measures has somewhat impaired the
public opinion of our governor;
but it has more positively directed atten.
ton to the enormous abuses attaching to
this Office. $4,000 are said to be drawn
from the mercantile community of Phil
adelphia annually by this leech and, as
the Times suggests, "nobody will have
any more confidence in the correctness of
measures or scales, because Mr.. Slack or
Mr.. Crawford has stamped them as ac.
curate." Here where Mr.. "Buck :"
Leibly carries around the standard, and
taxes everybody who has scales, yard
sticks a1d liquid measures, the place is
said to be worth 81, 500 year-a grievous
tax upon the community. Let it be abol-
ished. The county could easily keep the
standards to settle all disputes, and the
commissioners clerk could act as arbiter
in all cases of complaints made against the
accuracy of weights and measures.
POPULAR admiration of pretty women is
nothing new under the sun. It is older
than Solomon and was one of Abraham's
patriarchal points. This country, as well
as England, seems to have revival of it,
and the sketches which arc printed on ou.

from the presence of Mrs. Langtry in oul
country at this time. Or this famous
beauty's quarrel with her companion, Mrs.
Labouchere, there seems to DO no doubt.
The Philadelphia Times, which has been
hooting at the affair as all advertising
speculation, caught Mad. Lab. in its city

Slippery Pavements.

Sunday morning opened with very
slippery pavements, the rain Of Saturday
night having frozen as it fell, coating the
streets with an icy surface very dangerous
to pedestrians, hundreds of whom slipped
and slid and sat down heavily during the
day. The bad walking interfered greatly
with tho church going people and the
preachers addressed much smaller congrs-
cations than usual. To day many Of the
sidewalks are in wretched condition and
ought to be sprinklcd with ashes or saw
dust.

TIE Philadelphia Erening Telegraph
insists that there has not been a ready
response from what it calls the " Demo-
cratic machine" to the patriotic ut
terances" of GovernOr-elect Pattison
since his election. We perhaps do not
understand what the Telegram means by
the machine, but if we are to measure
the sentiment of the party by the voice
of its press, or of those who are acknowl-
elged to be foremost in its leadership,
or of the state or county committeeman,
or of the Democratic members-elect, of
Congress and the Legislature in this
state, we would say that there has been
a very general and hearty approval of
the new governors patriotic utterances.
From every side comes the demand that
the pledges made in the campaign shall
be fulfilled, and the avowal of determin-
alton to support the governor in such
purposes, that the commonwealth may
be redeemed from personal boss rule.

WODJ JESKA In WASHINGTON,


Heartily APpiauded by tho Arthurs.
N. Y. World Correspondence.
The president and his son occupied a
box at the theatre on tho first night OF
Nine. MOdjeska's engagement here and
were among the heartiest applauders in
the audience. Young Allan Arthur is
singularly like his father, although uu.
mistakably in the hobble-,!ehoy stage,
being all legs aud arms. He wears an
enormous cxpanse of shirt front and Z.
faultless evening coat to the theatre.
Nine. Modjeska's engagement has been
an enormous success financially as well as
artistically, every seat being sold for every
performance before the middle of the
week. Here is au instance of the ex-
quisite breeding of this great artist and
finished lady. One afternoon two cards
came up to her apartments about the same
time, and two visitors were ushered in by
accident at the same moment. One was
young Allan Arthur, ard the other q Pole,
who keeps haberdasher's shop in WASH
ington, and who wished to pay his respects
to his country woman. An observer who
was present noticed that Nine. Modieska
and her husband, who is highly accom-
plished man, received them both exactly
alike. The haberdasher was not made to
feel his inferiority, nor the presidents son
that he had conferred an honor-both
were treated with delicate courtesy. How
nice it is after all the undignified sqnab-
bles of theatrical stars to find this woman,
who is equally great in everything she
undertakes, no matter how diverse, the
simplist and most unpretending lady in
the world, married to man who reflects
credit upon her choice, and as complete a
woman as she is an artist.
Guiteau's Remains.
Dr.. Henry c. Yarrow, United States
army, stationed at the Army medical
museum, denies the published report that
the remains of Guiteau have been dissected
and the skeleton articulated for public ex-
hibition. While declining to say where
the remains now are, he says they arc
ready to be turned over to the person
whom the court before which the matter
is now pending shall designate as entitled
to him.
A Small Boy Accidentally s,,p:.
At Williamsport, Saturday evening, :,
ten-year-old son of Warren Mcylinger shot
himself in the hand with a revolver. He
had secured the pistol and was exhibiting
it to some playmates on the street when Il
was discharged. The ball entered at the
palm of the hand and came oat at the
wrist.

The School Girls Fair.

The fair held in Miss George Eundeli' 5

for tho use of the school, closed Saturday
evening. Tho artistic decoration of the
room, the really handsome display of ar
ticles for sac, :is'd tbs good purpose for
which the fair was gotten Up, had the eff
feet OF drawing together = great throng of
people, a large majority OF whom were
ladies and misses. Every thing passed off
very satisfactory. The music by the school
girls, under the leadership of Mr.. Kevinski,
was an Interesting feature of the fair.
Nearly everything offered for sale WAS DIS
posed of, and we arc glad to learn that the
receipts for the sales are amply sufficient
to buy fine organ for the school.

WmMINGTON. TUESDAY, JUNE go
The Ninth Ward Case Again.

Il took the Republicans a long while to
recover from the decision of the Court of
Errors and Appeals in the Ninth ward
mandamus case, but having regained little
courage they are now endeavoring to creep
out of the hole in which their incautious at
torneys landed them by clinging to the dis
senting opinion Of Chief Justice Comegys.
Lawyers differ" and judges are
but lawyers; therefore, while the Chief
Justice had perfect right to dissent from
the views of his colleagues, his attitude does
not alter their judgment of the case, or
affect the validity of the Courts decision.
The weight of judicial opinion, the law, the
facts, and the formal decision of the Court,
are with the Democrats in this matter, and
the best of bad cause and frankly admit
that legally and morally they were wrong
from the first.
1t will not do the cause of the party any
good for the morning organ, which publishes
the dissenting opinion of the Chief Justice,
to couple with 1t false editorial statement
to the effect that the people Of the Ninth
ward emphasized their judgment of the
matter in discussion by giving "a
decided Republican majority" at
the November election of 1880. The
vote of the ward on the county ticket
at this election was considerably cut up, but
on the Electoral ticket there was Demo-
cratic majority of two--just the majority
obtained by the Democratic inspector at the
October election after three clearly illegal
Republican ballots had been cast
out. This was a prompt and
substantial vindication of the Demo-
cratic position by the people of the ward
particularly interested in the case at ist ne,
and the subsequent approval of the Court of
Errors and Appeals was, therefore, in ac-
cordance with the will of the people as ex-
pressed at the polls, as well as a judicial
confirmation Of the position assumed for the
Democratic party by its able attorneys.
We respectfully suggest to our Republican
friends the propriety of dropping this case
entirely, as they have neither law, justice or
the decision of the Court in their favor, and
are sure to be worsted at every turn.

Falae Alar,ns ~ F,re.

Two false alarms offire were sounded last
evening, both of which appear to have been
given without the slightest reason or ex-
cuse.
This false alarm nuisance, which, it was
supposed, would be almost entirely eradi-
Gated by the fire alarm telegraph, is, on the
contrary, prevailing to greater extent than
ever. 1t is one of the most Objectionable
nuisances the people are subjected to, and is
also expensive, as run of this character
imposes a cost from five to ten dollars on
each company, and much more, at times,
when the accidents that frequently happen
are considered.
The ordinance under which the fire de
partment is now conducted provides ample
penalty for the sounding of false alarms
and 1t is time the penalty was imposed upon
some one. The majority of the false alarms
have been struck upon the most trivial pre-
texts, as the fire alarm telegraph still DOS
sesses such s'new toy" feature that many
persons are only too anxious to open one of
the boxes and start run. A fine of ten
dollars and costs, which the ordinance pro-

the ardor OF these anxious fire alarm
strikers, and we hope Chief Engineer Muir
ply, who is making such an admirable start
in the performance of his official duties,
will investigate last nights occurrences and
bring the offenders before the Mayor for
punishment.
The fire alarm telegraph system was in.
troduced here at considerable expense, with
the idea of making it a valuable adjunct tc
the fire department, which it certainly has
proven, although its usefulness has been
greatly impaired by these senseless and un
called for false alarms. The time has ar.
rived when these nuisancts should be sum
marily stopped, and people given to under
stand that the fire alarm is not a playthine
but an effective part of the city's system O
protection against fire.
