RANDALL'S RUSE.
The Pennsylvania Congressman Getting

The Pennsylvania Congressman Getting
UP Southern Boom for Speaker.
WASHINGTON, d. c., December 49,
Mr.. Randall said last evening there was
nothing very much TO say about his pro-
posed Southern trip. twas TO be under
taken for the sole purpose of rest and
recreation. He had, from time to time,
received invitations from his friends In
the South TO visit their locality, and he
thought thepresent holiday season good
time to make use Of these invitations. He
says there is nothing political in his visit.
He will take his wife with him and will
probably visit New Orleans before his re-
turn. Some of Mr.. Randall's friends are
not so reticent about the real object OF
his visit. They say that he intends to
contest with Mr.. Carlisle for the Speaker
ship, and that his Southern trip is for the
sole purpose of
WORKING UP SUPPORT FOR HIMSELF.
Your correspondent asked one of the
prominent Democratic members of the
House last night how It was that Mr..
Randall was beginning his canvass SO
early.
"Well," said he, "Mr. Randall fears
there may be called session of the
House, and with that view, he wants to
get in his work SO as to develop as much
strength as he can before the present
House adjoums."
"But you don't apprehend any danger
OF there being called session.

Heavy Diamond Robbery.

MONTREAL, CAN, December l9.-The
dynamite explosion at London Bridge
created less excitement than the explosion
which occurred here yesterday morning
in the jewelry store of Napoleon
Lefebvre. on Notre Dame street. The
store is just opposite the Central Police
Depot, and in the most busy thorough
fare In the city. Nevertheless,
some daring burglars entered
through fanlight over the
door at some hour between midnight and
dawn, and bored hole in the safe, in
which the proprietor kept his entire stock.
They used chlsel and smashed the COM
bnation lock, by which means they opened
the safe doors. They knocked the hinges
off the other side and pried the door off.
The only bar to their further progress
then, was the iron door to
THE PRECIOUS JEWEL STOCK.
This they drilled. Then small charge Of
powder was inserted ;-presto, puff-and

the thieves selected all the diamonds and

justice OF the Full Pay Retirement Plan--
A Bill to Increase Pay Of
Judges.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, December l9.--In con-
nectlon with the approaching retirement
OF United States Circuit Judge Krekel, of
Kansas City, the retirement of Judge
treat, OF this district, some time next
year, from the Circuit bench and the con-
sequent vacancy to be created, Is being
discussed intcrestedIy by the st. Louis
bar. Judge Treat has been in active ju-
dlcial service now for over twenty-seven
years, having been appointed March Cd,
1857, the last day of Franklin Plerces ad-
ministratlon, and is nearly sixty-nne
years old. The law governing Federal
Judges provides for their
VOLUNTARY RETIREMENT
at the age of seventy, after twenty years.
service and Judge Treat has already sig
niled his intention of taking advantage of
this and resting from the judicial labors
which have occupied the best part of his
lie and have made his name widely
known and respected among iurlsts OF
the United States. The pay of the Office,
$4,000, goes on during his lifetime.
"Ihe United States Judges generally
retire whensthey reach seventy years"
said an attorney to-day, Sand all things
considered they should, as vigor of intel
lect does not usually last beyond that
age, although after sixty-hve the useful
ness OF judge increases by geometrical
progression with his years. Sometimes,
however, they do not retire. There was
JUDGE CLIFFORD,
for instance, Of the United States Supreme
Court. When he reached the age of sew
enty he declined to retire, on the ground
that he wanted Democratic President to
appoint his successor, and as there is no
forcible judicial retirement,as in the army,
he held his position until he became i'm
beetle and entirely unfit to sit on the
bench. He used TO 90 into his office and
write the most nonsensical opinions on
cases and do other like silly things until
the spectacle was painful alike to bench
and bar, who had no way to remove him
from office. Fortunately for him, his
friends and the bench, his disease rapidly
grew upon him and he died In 1881.
OBJECTION Is MADE
sometimes by people who are ignorant,
1t is to be hoped, to the continuance of
the salary of $4,000 after retirement.
How unjust when it is considered that
the retiring Justice has given his learn
ing, deep study and always over twenty
years OF his life TO the administration OF
justice. The salary ought TO be larger,
and bill is now pending In Congress to
make it $4,000.

Follett Of the First Cincinnati

gresham Follett OF the First Cincinnati
District, relative to the legality Of the APP
pointment OF men not residents of Gin
cinnati az Deputy Marshals. Sections OF
the Revised Statutes were read to the ef-
feet that no person shall be appointed
Deputy Marshal who Is not a qualified
voter of the voting precinct or election
district, and none should be appointed
without the request of two citizens.
Judge Lawrence said that the accounts
had not reached his office, and that the
legality of the appointment was ques.
ton Of law, and he did not care to ex-
press an opinion before carefully examin-
ing the statutes.
Thomas Cavanaugh, an ex-Deputy-Ser-
geant-at-Arms of the House of Repre-
sentatives, who was at Cincinnati on cleo
ton day, was also examined. He said he
was employed ut the instance OF Colonel
Dudley, and under the instructions OF the
Central Republican Committee, to guard
against repeating at the polls.
'Did that committee furnish you
money!" inquired Van Alstyne.
"No, sir; | received money at Clncin-
natl"
"Who paid your"
81 received money from the Lincoln
Club of Cincinnati. 1t amounted to sew
eral thousand dollars.n
"Who gave it TO your"
"Mr. Hlckenlooper: | was to use it at
my discretion and understood 1t was to
be paid TO people TO prevent fraud on
election day. Some few men were en-
ployed as United States Marshals."
Cavanaugh said he met Dudley at Column
bus, and at his direction reported to Rath-
bone at Cincinnati, who was engaged in
looking after the election. Cavanaugh
himself handled the finances and helped
the boys out. He continued: "The money
was paid to take men back to Chicago
who had come to vote the Democratic
ticket. At least they said that they had
come for that purpose. They got hard
up and the party that brought them there
didn't treat them right. They gave US
valuable information"
"Did you make any attempt to prevent
men from voting who came there to vote
the Republican ticket?" asked Represen-
tatiye Follett.
"The instructions were to prevent any
body from voting Illegally"
"Was there any attempt to prevent
colored men from voting who colonized
In Cincinnati from Kentucky!"
San attempt was made, as 1 said, to
prevent illegal voting"
"Did you ever see as many colored
men in any city as there were in Cincin-
natl on the days preceding the election?"
81 wouldn't like to make any compar-
slons."
