Justice TO the Dead.

THE Philadelphia Press OF the
10th prints a seven-column article,
giving Judge Blacks posthu-
nous reply to Jefferson Davis
recent attack upon him. 1t comes
in the shape of an interview with
the great Jurist by Frank A. Burr,
of the Press staff, a personal friend
of Judge Black, and had just be-
fore the Judge was taken sick. 1t
is fully authenticated, and deals
with most important subjects.
The response TO Davis criticisms
forms but a small part of the
paper. Judge Black maintains
his former opinion in relation to
secessionists, and is very severe
upon the acts Of the ex-confeder-
ate president and those who
acted with him. He asserts that
Davis was talking peace and
planning war and always trying to
get Buchanan to yield to the de-
mand Of the secessionists.
A most important part of the
article relates his association with
Buchanan during the last three
months Of his administration. The
difference between them is de-
scribed, and much of the inner
history of that period is given in
forcible and entertaining words.
But the most important feature OF
this article is Judge Blacks dra-
matte story Of the cabinet crises OF
1860, which is given in full. He
confines the scope of Buchanan's
reply to the South Carolina COM
mittee, and why he was going to
leave the cabinet. His ultimatum
to the president at that moment is
given in full. His reasons for this,
never before published, are here
in outline. 1t tells of Buchanan's
position upon secession, and de-
nies that his letter to the South
Carolina commission acknowl-
edged the right of a state to Sc
cede. The article places Judge
Black in a new light before the
country.

ORDERS at the great locomotive
works at Philadelphia are repre-
sented to be fewer at present than
at any time since 1873, when the
acme Of dullness was reached.
The cause of this is represented to
be the cessation of railroad extern
sion in many sections Of the coun-
try, and to the fact that nearly all
roads are now fully equipped with
motive power to handle an i'm
mense volume OF business. 4 car
for the governor of New South
Wales, Australia has just received
its engine at the Baldwin works,
Philadelphia. 1t is designated for
street service in Sidney, and will
be propelled by compound en-
gine-a novelty rarely seen in To-
connective building, there being not
over six in the country.

We ask why, in the name of all
that is consistent, Portland is to
be the terminus of all railways to
the detriment of every productive
interest of the state? Why not
go on to Astoria and relieve the
lands given for that purpose?
Why sacrifice every state interest
to way to get out of Portland
and turn the back upon every in
terest which will let a farmer get
to a market with his produce so as
to leave him a profit for his labor?
WdSco San.
THE answer is very simple. The
interests of the railroad managers
lie in the direction their lines take.
They will make more by carrying
grain on cars than could be made
by floating it down the Columbia.
1t is the province of such newspa
pers as have not got the collar of
the corporation around their necks,
to keep the question agitated, and
demand what the country needs
a free river.

To a disinterested observer it
looks as if Judge Hoadly had
rather got into a corner regarding
the use of money to secure his
nomination as Democratic candi-
date for governor of Ohio. Mr..
Woodward comes out and SAYS
that Judge Hoadly said to hlm, in
the presence of others whose
names he offers TO give, that "Mr.
Mclean had made bis nomination
cost him great deal more than it
should have done" The Judge,
in his interview in the New York
Herald, confined himself to a de-
NAL as TO specific sum that his
nomination had cost. 1t looks as
if Judge Hoadly had reached a
point where denials do not count.

THE municipal debt of New
York is beginning to attract atten-
tion by its magnitude. Comp
troller Green now holds $35,523,-
S3S bonds of the city, represent
ing the sinking fund for the re-
demption of the debt, which is
nearly s3,OOO,OO0 less than last
year. The net debt of the city
has not fallen much below $780,
100000, above which point it had
mounted at the beginning of 1880.
In twenty years the debt has in
creased from one-fourth the pres
ent amount to the existing figure.
At the same time some of the
metropolitan journals are con-
strained to call the increase of the
cost of the government to $780,
100000, its present amount, as in
famous.

A POPULAR newspaper item for
editorial expansion or paragraph
contraction these days is one
which says that there are 120
newspapers conducted by colored
men in the United States. The
Republican editor commenting
upon it SAYS: 'See what a few
years have done for the colored
man! See how the Republican
party has taken them out of the
bonds of slavery, out of the sugar
and rice fields, out of the clutches
of the brutal overseers, and made
men out of them. See what our
party has done! Will the negro
ever forget the party that has
done so much for him? We
think not" The Democratic ed
itor looks at it differently.
'Look," he says, "at the negro
now! He is educated, he edits
newspapers, be reads them. Who
e6ucates him? The Democratic
taxpayers of the south. Who
advertises in his papers? The
Democratic business mn of the
south. Who reads his papers:
The Democratic colored working
men and women Of Democratic
employers. The more the negroes
become educated, the more they
distrust the Republican party"

DR.. Henry Brubaker returned last SatyS-
day from professional trip TO Philadelphia.
after an absence of nearis two weeks. He
had taken Miss Ellen Walker and Mrs. Wm.
Yinkey, who had been suffering from ova-
rian tumors for several years, to Philadel-
phia for the purpose Of having them reliev-
ed by surgical operation. Both tumors
were successfully removed by Prof. William
Goodell. of the University OF Pennsylvania,
that ofMiss Walker weighing fifty pounds,
and that Of Mrs. Yinkey twenty FIVE pounds.
Both parties bore the operations remarkably
well, and up to the present time no unto
ward symptoms have manifested themselves.
DIR Brupaker remained with them ten days.
and reports progressive improvement IA
their condition from day TO day. Tho criti-
cal period is presumed to be past, and should
nothing unforeseen occur they viii both be
able 10 return 10 their homes, perfectly re-
stored in about one month from the date
of the operation. These tumors are becom
ing alarmingly frequent Of late years, but
with the progress surgical science is making,
they can be removed with the greatest ease
and where the conditions are tSyorable
with comparatively little danger to the %
tient. Incorporation for the removal Of these
tumors is termed ovariotomy. and is an
American operation, having first been per.
formed by DR. Ephraim Mcdowell. of Ken
,ucky, in the year 1893. Notwithstanding
his success. having saved eght out OF ihir-
teen cases, the operation al f-st met Win
little favor from surgeons, and VAS almost
condemned a. unlustiflsbie'
however, it won i,s wsy INTO
professional recognition, and thousands of
women in every part Of the civilized world
nave been relieved by it, 50 that now no
operation in the domain oGsurgery is con-
.idered more jus,ifable than ovariotomy'

] A decision affirmed by the supreme court
| in reference to the license of bottlers that
establishes precedent not observed through
out ali the counties of the commonwealth
has just been placed in circular form by
! the Auditor Gen and mailed to every Judge,
district attorney and county treasurer in the
state. The opinion was rendered in the case
of the commonwealth against Henry Flacke,
of Warren, bottle who was indicted for
selling without license. The defendant had
! county license and was engaged in selling
I beer and other malt liquors from pint and
quart bottles. Judge Brown, in his charge
which has been affirmed by the supreme
court said Now, unless there is a special
provision in the law for the granting of IL
censes to bottlers to which attention has not
been called, we take it that the license must
be granted by the court, as is provided by
this section of the act oflS75. Section 4. of
the act of 1873, provides That any sale
made of yinous spurious, malt or brewed
liquors. or any admixture thereof, contra
ry to the provisions of this law, shall be tax
viction of the offense in the court of quarter
sessions of the peace of any city or county,
the person so offending shall be sentenced
to pay fine" etc. From the examination
of the acts referred TO, We are of the opinion
that the license issued by the treasurer to the |
authorize him to make sale of malt and |
brewed liquors by the single quart and pint |
bottle, as desired by the purchasers, and that |
in doing so he is guilty az charged in the in
dictment with selling malt and brewed /
liquors without license. We are strengthen
ed in this conclusion by the consideration of
the extreme care taken by the legislature, in
guarding the public against the abuse and
dangers incident to the unrestricted retail
traffic in malt and brewed, as well as spiritu.
Gus liquors. The applicant for an eating
house or restaurant license to sell malt or
brewed liquors must be citizen of the Uni
ted States, He must give notice of his APP
plication He must come into court endors-
ed by twelve of his fellow citizens as man
of temperate habits, and OF good moral char
acter 1t must appear by certificate that
such license is necessary, and before the IL
cense IS granted he must give bond with
sureties. conditioned for the faithful OBJ
seryance of the law regulating the sale of
this kind of liquor. But if the law, as claim
ed by the counsel for the defendant in this
case be correct, then any and every person
citizen or non-citizen, temperate or intem-
perate, honest or dishonest, may engage in
the business of selling malt or brewed
liquors by the drink, simply by paying the
treasurer the sum of $50, provided, only that
the drink shall be furnished in a bottle in
stead of glass. We think that such is not
the law. and say TO you that under the adj
mitted facts of the case the defendant is
guilty as charged in the fourth count in the
dictment"
Uuder the above it is now construed by
the auditor general that bottlers must take
out license once year, as do hotel and
restaurant keepers, and through the same
