JUDGE LIVINGSTON has been using
his eyes and ears to some purpose in his
recent walks around the town. Since
he has come to appreciate how readily
citizens will certify and swear that
useless places are necessary to the public
accommodation and that places have
cOnvenicnces which they lack, it has oc-
CURED to him that even ministry to the
necessities of trade and travel does not

of citizens to bring offenders against the
liquor law to the notice of the civil all.

aloud for redress and while the Saver
age director" Is getting himself ready to
apply an adequate remedy to this vital
defect in our school system he should
make up his mind to eradicate the dis
graceful discrimination which pays to a
man more money than to a woman who
does the same amount of work. Credit
able to the country districts of Lancaster
county is it that very few, if any, enforce
an injustice SO great but in Lancaster
city this discrimination is in full force
from the high school down to the lowest
grade in which men are employed. What
right or reason is there in paying thirty
dollars per month less to female teacher

grade and with the same responsibilities

work. Every one seemed inspired with a
desire to acquire some new, higher knOwl-
edge. Somehow the very atmosphere
seemed to i'm press one with tho fact that
there was thorough training in that
school. In conversation with the broad
and cultured principal. he said " MIR.
Jacobs, We do not attempt to teach every
thing here, but We aim to teach some
important things well. We aim to fix
firmly in the minds of these pupils some

Improvement on the conferee system.
The Strikes.

OF course the newspapers now are
calling for arbitration in the strikes and
threatened strikes. Senator Wallace's
brand new bill is summoned to the front.
But it is not apparent that there is
much of an opening for 1t in this emer-
gency. The sole question between the
employers and employed is as to the
value Of their labor. La the iron trade
the manufacturers say that they can
not afford to pay more wages than
they offer. If this be true, they
obviously cannot agree to abide
by the opinion of arbitrators to the
contrary. If they do not know best
what they can afford to pay.they know
best, at least, what they will pay; and
as they appear to have unanimously
made up their minds on the subject they
have no need for asking the opinion of
arbtrators. If the employed are un-
willing to accept the terms offered
them, the alternative is a cessation of
work. This is Il free country in which
no man can be compelled either to give
or take for labor more or less than he
pleases. "A strike is the natural result of
a disagreement us to the value of labor,
and the state has no particular con.
Germ with it, 50 long as there is
no breach of the peace. The iron man
ufactories may us well be idle when their
work is unprolitable, and it is quite GER
tain that they will only be idle then.
The workmen may as well enjoy their
leisure as employ themselves III mnroGt-

the luxury. When they cannot, they viii
go to work ut wages that will make t:,er

Yanderhilt,s Retirement

Mr.. Vanderbilt strips himself of his
dignities and starts for Europe. Mr.
Gould has built himself a yacht and pro.
poses to 60 abroad. 1t looks somewhat
us though these linan ial magnates were
fleeing from the wrath TO come. 1t may
be that they simply are philosophers
who think they have worked long
enough and have made money enough
and are entitled to the enjoyment of
their ease. But, considering tie avidity
with which they have pursued their
money-getting schemes, there is ground
for the suspicion that they think
there is profit as well as
ease in lying Oh their oars for
a season. Mr.. Vanderbilt some time
ago showed an appreciation of govern
ment bonds rs All investment which was
remarkable for man who had so great
facilities for making large interest on
his capital. There is no reason to doubt
his shrewdness and wisdom in worldly
matters, since he has been eminently
successful in conducting them and it
does not appear that he is disposed to
withdraw his attention from the consid-
Grafton of money making matters, since
he is actively engaged in projecting new
lines of railroad. 1t is only with the
conduct of the affairs of the old cOrpor
ations that he, and his father before him,
managed and MIXED that he disconnects
himself. He seems to want fresh fields
and pastures new. Perhaps the old cor.
porations are SO we'll established that he
thinks there is no further glory to be
had in administering them, or perhaps he
finds that there is more cream to be
gathered on his new ventures than from
the watered old ones.
In retiring from his presidencies Mr..
Vanderbilt prudently forbore to partic-
ularly say what actuated him he was
prudent in this because his reputation
for veracity would not have secured Gre
dence to his explanations. The public
will judge from his acts. Their inter-
probation is really not difficult. 1t is as
clear now as it was when he sold New
York Central stock and bought govern
ment bonds, and then went heavily into
new railroad enterprises, that Mr.. Van
derbilt considers almost anything bet
ter property to hold than the heavily
capitalized railroads which are called
upon to meet the competition of young,
vigorous and lightly loaded rivals.

rl;IyATE PUSTOFFICES.
Kaided by Federal Officers.

Nhlueu ny EOuOE0A
Two "privatc letter Offices,' in Now
York, one kept by a man named HusSey,
the other by u man named Boyd, Was
raided upon and closed Friday by post
Office officials. No arrests were made, but
about 20, 600 letters and packages were
seized. Shortly after 1880 o'clock the
carriers at ea:h of these places began
coming out with their leather bags CRAM
med with letters siung over their should
ers, and at q given signal from Colonel
Sharp, chief inspector of the general post
Office at Washington, who was in waiting
with five United States deputy marshals
in citizens dress, the men were seized
and their pouches taken away.
Some in their fright threw down their
letters and newspapers and took to their
heels. The inspectors then proceeded to
take possession of both Offices, and shortly
afterward truck was driven up to the
doors, to which a la"ge assortment of let
ters, papers and circulars were transferred
and driven off y the general pOstOfficr.
The total seizure is estimated at 70 900
letters and circulars. Such of the carriers
as they were overtaken were discharged,
and tho other employees were given their
freedom, from the fact that the govern
ment is about to bring suits against the
principals. Mr.. Blackhan, the manager of
Boyd's dispatch, says: L think the Off
cials are simply making these raids to
test their power. Our concern has now
been in existence some fifty years, and it
is rather lato in the day to tell us to stop.
The worst that can be done is to prevent
us from sending closed lettors do not
think they can stop us from sending Cir.
culars, but if they can mean to fight
against it, Lat ,r in the day the premises
of the U. S. circular and delivery COM
pany, 35 Vesey street, were also raided,
and considerable quantity of mail mat
ter seized, all of which was likewise sent
to the general pOstOffice.

of the several roads arc as follows:

1t will be noticed that, while MIR. Van
derbilt retires from the presidency, and
his sons from the vice presidency, under
the new bylaws, tho position of chairman
of the board of directors is created with
general supervisory powers. Under this
arrangement, Cornelius Vanderbilt be-
comes chairman of the Now York Central
and Michigan Central boards, and William
X. Vanderbilt remains president Of the
Nickel Plate road, and becomes chairman
of the Lake Shore directors. Each of them
is also member of tho board of the com
pany of which his brother is chairman.
This plan relieves Mr.. Vanderbilt and his
sons of tho detail work and devolves il
upon those who have boon actively on

An Episcopal Journal Calls for Judgment

Episcopal Register.
Rev. Heber Newton, of New York, has
been formally presented to the bishop for
trial. Whether the bishop will proceed
to trial or quash the indictment remains
to be seen. He has it in his power to do
either. We think the presenters have
made a mistake. Mr.. Newton has un-
doubtedly taught false doctrines, and, we
believe, dangerous doctrines. But he has
done SO rather by implication than in
form In order for preacher to lay
himself open to trial for heresy it is
necessary that he should have clear
intellectual notion of what the truth
is from which he wilfully departs
If this knowledge is lacking, he is
rather to be labored with as indoctus than
to be proceeded against as heretical. ln
this case there is every evidence that the
offender is wanting in that knowledge OF
the truth which makes wiful heresy
possible. There is no indication in the
whole scope of Mr.. Newton's much pub
lished deliverances that he has ever grasp
ed the Catholic doctrine as the place aud
function of the Holy Scriptures. He has
simply gone from the extreme right to the
extreme left. We very much doubt If he
| is any more-or any less-heretical to day
! than he was in an opposite direction ~
years ago. In some cases heresy is plainly
| recognizable, being defined in advance.
In others it is exceedingly difficult to make
| up a case. We think this question of the
place and function of tho Holy Scriptures
is one of the most unfortunate
possible upon which to make an
