THEY have got a female lawyer in

that is neither afraid of the Judge nor

Friday of last week, in which Judge
Mallory was holding court, and with
out word of warning dashed glass
of water INTO his honor's face. The
Judge ordered her arrest, and she
was placed in Jail. Saturday she was
released on writ of habeas corpus.
Her counsel did not deny or seek to
extenuate the offense, but held that
she was illegally imprisoned, as the
commitment took place before the
papers were served. The reason as.
signed for giving the Judge cold
water bath was because he did not
appoint her as counsel i'm certain
case, and she got her mad up, as
women will, sometimes.

if it cannot he eliminated so that the
full share of the German vote can be

party is bad. That is all he fears.
He politically hopes that Carlisle. the

agitation Of the tariff question will be
disastrous to the Democracy. He
thinks Carlisle will be elected. He
believes the Republicans have learned

the strongest Democratic candidate
is Senator Mcdonald. Gen. Wash.

will give reasonable appropriation.
He scouts as nonsense the alleged pc.
litical programme for Minnesota
which gives to Gen. Washburn the
senatorship to succeed Mcmillan and
says that if such programme has
been arranged with Mr.. Fletcher for
Congressman that some one will have
difficulty in delivering the goods. He
thinks the appointment of Judge

The Pennsylvania legislature sat
down hard on the proposed prohibi.
tory amendment, but the Senate
passed to its third reading the anti.
treat" bill. which makes it Il punish
able offense for one person to treat
another. There is 4 queer inconsiSt-
ency about these two measures. The
first prevents the people of Pennsyl.
vania from exercising sovereign
right as old us our government. In
fact the very fundamental principles
by which our nation is governed is
transcribed Wy a refusal on the part
of the legislature to submit consti-
tutional amendment to the suffrage
of the people. In saying that one
man shall not treat" another, the
State senate has sought to establish a
law that is not only positively incon-
sistent with peoples rights. but one
that cannot be made operative. The
Pennsylvania legislature had better
adjourn before making further
ludicrous exhibition of itself.
