The Judicial AppOrtIOnment

In the state Senate yesterday most OF
the Democrats showed disposition tG
support the judicial apportionment re
ported from the conference committees,
while the leading Republicans and most
of them evinced an opposition to it in
the House it passed bya merely consti-
tutional majority, mostly made up of
Democrats, though some of the strongest
leaders of the party in that body were
opposed to it it was announced by Mr.
Amerman, who has reason to know, that
if enacted the governor would likely
sign the bill and other friends of the
measure declared that Attorney General
Cassidy held it to be constitutional, and
the fact that Mr.. Wallace, as one of the
conference committee, assented to it,
proves that he holds similar view.
Many members who support it do so
under protest, and only upon the ground
that II is less violative of the copstitu
tion than the act of 1874, and less objec
tionable than the existing apportion
ment. The argument that it increases
the number of judicial districts is met
with the statement that where new sin
gle districts are made, the Office of asso-
ciate lay Judge is abolished and a cores
ponding saving in salaries is thus eff
fected.
The subject of judicial apportion-
ment is one that has not ad.
mitted of 4 division of the Legislature
on party lines, and it has not been re-
garded as such an issue this session.
Local and personal considerations have
prevailed to maintain or create the un
necessary judgeships; constitutional
grounds,a regard for sound public policy
and for the character of the judiciary,
have inspired the opposition. Neverthe

THE Philadelphia North american, stiff
necked Republican organ that it is, declares
that in the rejection by the Republican
Senate of the Stewart congressional ap.
portionment bill they have given the
Democrats "an opportunity to boast will,

publicans half way and therefore that they
cannot be held responsible for the fruit

department to investigate alleged frauds

to complain" He thinks, however, that
in spite of these facts the interior de
partment has not the right to declare the
election void" Give the poor Indian a
chance.
STATE SENATOR LEE cannot expect tho
Democratic state press to give him any
further credit for political fairness and
frankness. 1t is understood that he had
expressed himself in favor of the Stewart
congressional apportionment, which the
Democrats yesterday supported, and he
said that if he were not paired he would
have voted for it. But the fact is that he
was paired with Senator Hall, a Democrat
who, had he been present, would also have
voted for it, Senator Lees subterfuge is

EDITOR MORT, of the Trenton Times
has stirred up storm of indignation in
Trenton by an article commenting on the

factories and asserted that "could the
records of fallen maidens be read, it would
bs found that a majority of those who
have become Outcasts from society and
habitues of houses of ill-fame were once

The factory girls bitterly denounce the

effect that they will boycott all merchants

less, If the pending bin becomes law It
can be only by such support of it BY
the Democratic lawmakers as will inn
pose upon them the larger share OF
responsibility for it. We do not believe
they should assume it.
twill be remembered that no act of
Governor Hoyt's administration CON-
manded for him the more hearty appro-
baton of the better element of his own
party and the more unanimous approval
of the Democracy than his veto Of the
judicial apportionment of 1881. 1t isnOt
true, as has been asserted, that the
pending bill is as Objectionable, nor that
it 80 nagrantly violates the letter and
spirit of the constitution as the bill OF
1881. But some of the most Objectionable
features which Gov. Hoyt pointed out,
and upon which he based his veto of that
bill disfgure the present pending mea
sure. Gov. Hoyt held-and based his
opinion upon the deliverance of Chief
Justice Agnew. father -in-law of the
present judge of Beaver county-that
the constitution did not permit county
to be erected with a separate judicial
district, unless it had 10000 population ;
and yet the pending bill, like that which
Gov. Hoyt disapproved, makes separ
ate district of Beaver, with less than the
constitutional population.
| The governor then likewise intimated
that the relation of Adams and Fulton,
twenty miles apart, as the crow flies
and thrice as widely separated by lack
of railroad communication, was not ol
that convenient" character command
ed by the constitution. The Wyoming
and Sullivan district we have already
animadverted upon while the assign
ment of two judges to Lawrence ani
Butler, with one to be resident in Law
renee, is practically making the single
district which the House has already
this session refused to do and which
could easily be obviated by attaching
| Lawrence to Beaver.

The resolution was agreed to and sent to
the Senate where it was buried.
The judicial appOrtionment bill then
being made the subject of debate, it was
opposed by Messrs. Donly, Sponsler, Har-
ris, Sharpe, Ziegler, Emery and Bullitt
because it was flagrantly in violation of
the constitution. Mr.. zimmerman de.
Tended it, and said he did net consider it
unconstitutional, and he felt certain that
the executive would approve the bill. The
House refused to recommit it to the con
ference committee, and vote being lad
on the report it was found that SO votes
were cast for it-three less than the neces.
sary constitutional majority.
By dint of hard work one moro vote,
that of Higgins of Schuylkill, was Sc
cured, and it was cast amid the objections
of twenty members, who were on their
feet vociferating that Higgins had no
right to vote under the rules. Parkhill,
of Allegheny, then changed from no to

of Crawford, who had voted no." a. he
claimed, for the purpose Of moving re-
consideration, then asked leave to change.
Bullitt challenged his right to do 80 and
inquired whether he voted under . misap-
prehension. McCrum did not reply and
the speaker said it was presumed he voted
under a Misrepresentation. This did not
satisfy Bullitt and he persisted in re-
peating the question and demanding
an answer, the speaker rapping vig-
orously with his gavsl meanwhile.

killed by the collision or not. Jacob Shrite
says he saw him clinging to part of the

the wreck struck board walk at the

places. A young man named Pyle, who
is telegraph operator in the tower at the
depot, says he believes Welsh was dead
before he reached that point. He says
that his body seemed limp, his head was
thrown back and his arms wore hanging
down as If they were pOwerless.

Why Not =?

The New York Herald has arli
at a sapient conclusion, viz:
does not see any reason why
Democratic party should not nd
for the Vice Presidency south
man. Why not? The South
into the U. S. Treasury her due
portion of revenue, and is fast
coming the wealthiest and the nj
influential section of our comt1 non
country. This is matter of prime
consideration in this age of shoddy-
ism, and vulgar aristocracy of mere
wealth, and should appeal strongly
to the sensibilities of the mony wor.
shippers of the land. Since the
South, therefore pays for her posi-
ton, she is clearly entitled to occupy
high rank in the country.
But if we discard modern shod
dyism and reason on the subject
from the good old Jeffersonian
standpoint Of honesty, competency
and capability, the South can claim
to recognition as on the score of
wealth. Since the South has been
admitted to the floors of the Senate
and House on equal terms with her
Northern brethren, her sons have
made a good record. Less than
twenty years ago, the South was a
prescribed region. The name of
"rebel,' honored by Washington and
Patrick Henry, was cast into her

Husband and Wife.i

The social and domestic relations
of husband and wife were discussed
by a clergyman who said the Scrip
lures make the relationship very
plain. Husbands and wives are
fellow travellers on ife's highway.
and they are brought together by
choice, not by chance; in presence of
God and man they have sworn to
bear each others burden. They
have not foreseen all the troubles
and responsibilities that await them !;
they will find defects in each other
which can only be rightly met by
mutual consideration and forbear-
ance. AS the husband is the ruler
Of the family and sustains the same
relation to the wife as Christ does to
the Church, the husband in respon-
sibilty, and the wife, instead of de-
nying this responsibility, as some
women do, should force it upon the
husgand's attention if he be dispos-
cd to forget it. The husband is re
sponsible for the support of the fam
lily, and no man is Christian who
does not all he can for his family.
II man give the reins of govern
ment into the hands of his wife, and
the family carriage is wrecked there
by, he is responsible for the dama>
ages. Many men treat their wives
like children. They regard their
views and opinions as no value,
which is altogether wrong. The
key to happiness is mutual conf
dence. Have no secrets from each
other. But wives are to submit to
husbands only ''as it is fit in the
Lord A woman is not to give up
her religion circumstance. A good
husband will nearly always make a
good wife. A man does not take a
wife because she is q philosopher ;
but to satisfy his cravings for the
beautiful, the good and the gentle.
Hence it is his duty to furnish his
wife with the means of making her.
self as Attractive as before. A neat,
tidy house and a neat tidy wife are
bound to exercise a powerful influ-
ence for good upon the family.
Wives should never be slovenly
in dress, and should make them
selves and their homes agreeable.
Home should be the dearest place
on earth to man, and it generally
is when it is made pleasast and hap
