IT is no proof that the Legislature is
dilatory because it has not passed MANY
bills. Too littlelegislation is better than
too much, and probably it would be
wiser if the Assembly enacted few but
repeating measures for years to come.
The multiplicity of bills introduced is
only the better reason why great eau.
ton should be exercised in passing them.
Legislators may well sitt carefully the
bushel of chaff for the few grains Of
wheat it holds.

In Philadelphia some trouble has arisen
in the getting together Of the jury for two
weeks coming court of jury trials. The
sheriff's deputy neglected to notify the
men who were drawn within the required
ten days, and it is doubtful if the shorter
notice is legal. Aud, by the way, this ex-
perience might serve to suggest an inquiry
into the generally prevailing method of
notifying jurymen. 1t would likely bo
found to be very slipshod and uncertain.
There is no uncertainty, however, about
tho shel if getting his fees for it.
LIKE the good monk, St. Hilarion, who
stood on the beach beioIe Epidaurus and
by the sign of the cross made the great
waves that threatened to inundate
the city bow and retire when destructive
earthquake once shook half the old world,
there bas appeared genius who may
perhaps lay claim to the obligations of
some of his fellow mortals. This individual
is Mexican of the euphOniOus apellation
of Nicolas Zunigay Miranda, who has in
vented an apparatus which he AYERS will
give notice several days in advance of the
coming of an earthquake, and further
affirms that its indications are SO accurate
that it will mark not only the day, but
even the exact hour when the disturbance
is to occur, and show what the degree OF
intensity Of subterraneau commotion will
be. If this inventive Mexican would now
devise a plan by which towns and cities
built where these unpleasant upheavals OF
mother earth take place, could be expedi
ditiously removed from harms way, ,either
over earth hundreds OF miles or gently
raised in the air before the earthquake has
q chance at them, there might be quite d
handsome subscription collected for the
erection of monument to his memory
some thousands of years after bis death.

Case Dismissed.

The telephone men who were charged
with cutting the wires Of the telegraph
fire alarm were before Alderman Diffen-
derffer on Saturday evening. They paid
costs and the cass was dismissed, Chief
Engineer Howell withdrawing the charge.
as It was ascertained that there was no
malicious intent on the part of the man
who cut the wire, but he did it simply be-
cause it was the easiest way to arrange
their own wires.

THE Philadelphia Times is not very
reliable authority for the story that
when Senator Coke went to Governor
Pattison to make some suggestions about
the appointment of commission under
the Coke resolution to investigate and
improve the present methods of keeping
books in the departments of the state
he was emphatically told to mind his
own business and other journals. with
whom the wish is father to the thought,
confirm the story and report that Senator
CoNe quit the executive chamber indig-
nant at the rude treatment he had re
ceived. 1t is not a likely story. Mr..
Coke, in pursuance of his duty as sena-
tor, had his attention fixed upon some
slovenly habits of book keeping which
prevail in the departments, and mainly
through his influence and in Difference
to his representation the Legislature re-
solved upon the appointment of com
mission to investigate and better them.
AS such commission was to he ap'
pointed 10y the governor, with the advice
and consent of the Senate, it is not
credible that the executive would reject
the advice of one of the senators of his
own party, whose large business expert
ence especially qualified him to give
valuable advices in the premises.
In the Patriot to-day Gov. PattiSon
is reported as telling a representative of
that paper that there is not word of
truth in the story that his relations
with Senator Coke are of the most cor
dial character that no suggestion of
his has been or would be rejected, but
gratefully welcomed, which is just what
we expected, and the last attempt to
create trouble between prominent rep
resentatives OF the Democracy will only
recoil upon the unskillful engineers of it.

Signs multiply that to the retail pur-
chaser the reduction of the tax on cigars
will make little or no difference. The

not get it.

THE interests of the wOrkingmen of
this state have been assaulted from
several quarters in the Legislature this
session. Measures devised to rob them
of their right to make private contract
and to dispose of their labor are thinly
disguised rs measures for their relief,
and demagogues who prose in legislative
halls as their special champions are often
their most dangerous enemies. If a per
sonal liability bill should pass, which
would hamper and fetter employers and
compel them to close up their works or
make employees insure them against
dangers occurring to them, it would be
to the hurt and not to the benefit of the
laborer if eight hours should be de-
clared a legal days work and wages be
abated accordingly or shops shut the
workingman would suffer most. And
80 with most of such legislation. 1t is
seldom proposed by real workingmen.
The thrifty, intelligent mechanic and
artisan rarely gets to the Legislature or
has his views presented there. The self
proclaimed AMI self-authorized cham.
pions of the labor interest there are gen.
orally professional agitators and shallow
pated blatherskites who never did an
honest days work or early quit it for the
easier task of misleading those who earn
their bread with their muscle.

JUDGE PATTERSON is not deaf and
blind, and therefore he cannot reason
ably be supposed to be ignorant that
public attention has been drawn to the
fact that the escape of Richard Heilig
from custody and from accountability to
the criminal law which he had Offended
was due to an imposition practiced upon
his court. The case against Heilig, as
represented to US, was " a dead shot,"
For some reason it was continued from
court to court, and when finally the bail
was forfeited, process issued and the
man was fast in Jail, he was released on
representations by the district attorney
based, he says, on representations to
him by defendants counsel-that there

was no case against him, albeit the
grand jury had said that there was. If
Judge Patterson does not take cogniz-
ance of this disgraceful business he will
need to explain why.
