ldarnilton Jay In new YORK Sun
The position Of the governor was certainly
a very unpleasant one and beset with many
trials and difficulties Nearly avery man of
any prominence, black or white, wanted an
office, and II he failed to get it, concluded, of
course, that the governor had gone back on
him" The position Of Justice of the peace
was peculiarly attractive to the col
ored brother. When appointed, he did
everything In his power TO surround
It with that divinity that doth hedge
a king. The first thing he did was to hunt
up an old black coat Of the forked tail vintage
and a pair OF ponderous spectaclel He
seemed to consider these the parapbernalia
OF official Life. It made no difference to him
that the coat would have better fitted David
Davis. or that tho glass In his iron clad spec
tncles was the ordinary window glass. They
invested hin with a very portentous look,
and were very effective In the examination
OF q witness.
Some very amusing stories are related of
these ornaments OF tho judicial bench who
took supreme delight in being called Judge"
One, whose temple Of tistios was located In
Jackson county, after his hrst official month
had passed, refused to hear more than one
side in the many disputes that came before
him, very logically remarking that IL he
heard both sides 1t confused him In arriving
at a decision Another. in 4 case OF death,
issued a writ for the infant child OF a debtor
in satisfaction for the claim Another still,
in ons case at least, fined both plaintiff and
defendant, stating that all were equal now, and
that he intended to administer the most Impair
ual Justice In some cases the newly APP
pointed officer would borrow money from the
governor to carry him to his political ressr-

An honest confession is good for the

is we'll exempllhed in the annexed mark

who has recently been doing consider

that kutheiJraud b. Hayes (strong en-

The great Stalwart missed a good
opportunity in not talking in this way
during 1857 when the popular will OF
the country was being trampled ruth
lessly under foot by the law-perverting
and law-defying element OF the Jacob
ms who usurped place and power to
the detriment of the honest well-mean-

Methods pr Reduction for Copper

From a very able and exhaustive ar
ticle in a recent number OF the Mining
and Scientific Press, upon the early his

following extract:

ed and general. existing conditions.
For many years the business of smelt-
ing copper ores has been carried on al
most exclusively At Swansea, South
Wales, near the mines OF Cornwall and
Devon, ores being shipped to this point
from all parts of the world. Until the
past decade but little was known Of the
great u of the Pacific States
and Territories In copper. Some de-
v%elopments had been made in various
parts of the country OF a most promis-
ing nature, and much money spent in
reduction works, based upon former
methods Of working. but the attempt
TO introduce the systems aud practice
Of the old world into the new, In this
rs In many other things, was attended
with disastrous failure. The new con-
dItions were not suited to the old order
Of things.
I'm this emergency Messrs. Rankin,
Brayton q Co., of the Pacific Iron
Works, San Francisco, a Arm represent
ting the most advanced ideas OF mod
ern practice in everything relating To
the mechanical appliances for treating
ores, conceived the idea Of applying the
principle of the Water Jacket Furnace
to the reduction of ores, and instituted
a series of experiments, with a view Of
determining what form of jacket was
best adapted for the purpose, as we'll

at is no exaggeration to say that the

The little filings made by the Macon
Telegraph and Messenger at congress-
men, for sending garden seed to their
constituents, are out of place and in bad
taste. The agricultural department was
established for the purpose of beneftting
the planters of this great republic by
furnishing them the best seeds to be
found, and it is one of the duties of a
congressman to see that his constituents
are supplied with such seed as are to be
had in the agricultural department. The
congressman who is too proud and stiff
to look after this matter, as a usual
thing, has too little brains to be of much
force in congress. The seed are pro-
cured by the agricultural department for
distribution, and the congressman who
fails to see that they are distributed
among his constituents fails to do his
duty.

WHAT WE NEED.

Our present council has just pub
lished pamphlet, exhumed from
dusty records, showing how the
public money has been wasted. The
carelessness and recklessness patent
on the face of the returns Should
warn us that where such handling
of finances is possible the old depos-
its must be carefully brought to
light. Give active, progressive
men good policemen properly uni
formed at next election, and the re-
forms on our streets will be as great
as that of the treasury.
On April 9Th, 1882, the treasurer's
book showed cash on hand S608. 90.
from this time to November 80, 1888,
collected from all sources, Sc, $50. 30,
yet we are now $5,2l6.ss in debt,
without counting bonds, funded
debt, etc.
These figures are eloquent. Let
reform visit all corners as it has the

What Mr., Randall IS Doing.

1t is to be regretted, if it is true
as stated, that the democratic lead
ers in the house are not working in
harmony. 1t is boldly alleged that
while Mr., Morrison and the Ways
and Means Committee are busy per-
fecting the tariff bill, Mr. Randall
and those who sympathize with him
in his protective views, are working
to defeat the consideration of tariff
measure. 1t seems that it is not de-
MED that Mr.. Randall is holding
back the appropriation bills so as to
shut off tariff discussion. When
the tariff bill is ready for considera-
ton, Mr.. Randall, it is said, will
come forward with his appropriation
bills and claim the attention of the
house. Everything must give way
to the appropriation bills. If Mr..
Randall is engineering any such
scheme he has assumed a great re
sponsibility. The country under
stood the election of Mr.. Carlisle as
speaker to mean that vigorous eff
fort was to be made for tariff reduc-
ton. A failure by the present
house to attempt to do anything in
that direction would be regarded as a
square back-down. 1t would be I'M
fortunate if the party were placed
in the position of appearing to lack
the courage to act on its convictions;
and yet, if we are to believe reports,
Mr.. Randall is doing what he can to
place the party in that position

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES. 1894.


THE TIMES win enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever be-
fore in its hiStOrY-mOre widely read and
quoted, more heartily commended, and more
tiercely criticized, with a more complete or
ganiZatiOn, and an able SSOf Of contributions
and with the same independence and fearless
ness that has made it successful and powerful
in the past.
THE TINES has no party to follow, no candi-
dates to advance. but viii meet every issue, as
it has ever done. with consistent devotion to
the right, to honest government, and the pub
lie welfare. And, While maintaining its posi-
ton as the leading journal of Philadelphia, it
will aim to be continually in the advance in all
that can add value to newspaper.
The value of a newspaper is not in its size or
display, but in the intelligence and care, the
conciseness and freshness with which it is
edited. THE TINES spends layishly for news
from all parts OF the world. but all It's dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed. in
order to give the complete news of the day in
the most concise and attractive shape. and with
it q large variety of entertaining and instruc-
tive reading. The best writers at home and
abroad are employed to enrich its columns,
and to make it a journal adapted both to the
busy man and to the leisure of the home cir
Gle, u welcome visitor to intelligent and honest
citizens of every political, religious and social
taste.
THE WEEKLY TIMES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers Of twenty years
ago. The day of those papers have gone by.
The telegraph and better local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving centres
of rural population. have made the old weekly
metropolitan newspaper unsatisfying. Those
that cling to their ancient uSages have lost
their hold on our mountaineering people; they
are but shadows of their former greatness. and
they have but q shadow of their former power.
Those papers have had their usefulness, but it
is gone: and with IT, they are going, too. 1t
was not the fault OF the papers: it was the i'm
provement of the country that brought about
the change. Men and women, wherever they
live, now require freSher news: and they re-
quirc more than news.
THE WEEKLY TIMES gathers of the types of
every passing week whatever has lasting in
terest TO the people at large, and sets it before
them in such generosity Of paper and print as
would have astOniShed US all twenty yeOrs ago.
