a BILL passed the Senate finally on
Tuesday of last week fixing the allow
ance to be paid to Sheriff's for board
ing prisoners at fifty cents pei day for
each prisoner. On the same day a bill
passed the House finally requiring all
deeds to be recorded within thirty days
after delivery. Also finally a bill fixing
the pay of witnesses before Justices of
the Peace at 80 cents a day and cents
mileage. The bill appropriating $780,
GOO to be expended IN making improve
ments to the Capital was defeated by a
vote Of II yeas, to "a nays. The eight
hour bill was passed finally by a vote of
102 yeas, to 81 nays. The bill Furnishes
with fine of 500 for the FIRST offense
and 800 for the second, any employer
who eOmpels his employees to work more
than eight hours a day.

A FEW weeks ago Governor Pattison
vetoed bill authorizing an additional
law judge in the Chester county dis
tIict, and last week a similar bill in re-
latiOn to the Northumberland county
district shared the same fate. The
Governor bases his veto in the North
umberland bill on the same ground as
sumed by him in the case Of the Chester
district, that another judge is not re-
quired by the business of the district, is
not demanded by the people and is an
unnecessary addition to the public ex-
pense. The House in which the bill
originated endorsed the Governors
views. and refused to pass the bill over
the veto by the Constitutional two-thirds
vote. If these two bills, as well as a
third one applicable to another district,
but which has not yet finally passed both
houses, had been approved by the Gov
eTnor, it is not at all too violent pre-
sumption that at the next session OF the
Legislature an additional law judge
would have been asked for in nearly ev-
cry district in the State. The firm stand
taken by Gov. Pattison against the cleo
tion of additional law judges. although
it will sadly interfere with the selfish
projects of few lawyers, will be heart
lily sustained by the people. And here
we take occasion again to say that if the
Justices of the Peace before whom
criminal prosecutions are required to be
commenced, would assert their pTeTOga-
tive and settle finally at least one-half
of the frivolous cases that are iustitu-
ted before them, they would shorten the
time cow occupied by the Courts nearly
one-half, save the different counties a
vast amount of money in the shape of
jurors fees, and completely silence any
plea that could be made for an addition
al Judge in any district in the State.

THE Eight Hour bill which passed
finally :he lower branch of the Legisla-
ture last week, Furnishes by a fine Of
500 for the first offence and 5000 for
the second, an employer who "compels'
his employees to labor more than eight
hours a day. "Such legislation, - says
the Philadelphia Record, ''does no good
and only provokes contention. The
Legislature might as we'll provide that
three pecks shall make a bushel. The
reduced bushel would sell in the market
for three-fourths of the value of the four
peck bushel. The shortened days labor
will sell FOR less than ten OF twelve
hour labor. And what can be done in
cases where there is no compulsion i?
The hours of labor are necessarily a
matter of agreement between the per-
soHs who hire it and the persons who are
hired. 1t is nobo1y's business but their
own.''

WHEN we reflect that the Republ:-
can newspa peTs IL Pennsylvania are ed
tied by white men Of more than aver
age intelligence, and of average prObiry
and good character, we cannot bring
ourselves to understand the virulence of
their attacks on Governor Pattison for
vetoing the Apportionment bills. These
bills were vetoed because they conflict
with the rules laid down III the Consti-
tuition TO govern legislative action in
the matter Of apportionments. Cover
nor Pattisen is bound by his oath of
Office to obey the Constitution. He
could not sigh the bills without VIOLA
ting his oath. he has doDe precisely
what the political editors who assail
him would have been bound to do if
they had been in his place. The Appor-
tiOnment bills as they stand, steal away
from one portion of the people of the
State their rightful share of representa-
tiOn in Congress and the Legislature
and confer it upon another portion of
the people not entitled to it. It is wrong
to steal. We do not suppose any of the
irate editors we have alluded to would
rob a till or a hen rOOst ; but there is no
moral difference between rot bing one
man Of his cash or his pullets and rob-
bing one half OF the people of Pennsyl-
yania of their political rights. It's very
fashiona BILE. we know. to cOndone in
the game of politics offenses that are
punished with rigor in the ordinary
dealings between man and man, but it
should not be so. When the Lexisla-
ture at Harrisburg boldly overrides the
rights of the minority, solemnly guaran-
teed to them u fundamental law. there
ought TO be but one expression of dis
sent and abhOTrence in the public press
of the State. 1t is sad, indeed, that the
press cannot rise to this height of recti-
tude and vindicate its character as the
champion Of Justice and fair play

be elsewhere, and the ten-cent politician who
rates them all as "beer-drinking Dutch, with
no higher ambition than to guzzle lager with

follows as announced by the Volksblatt:

ate regulation and taxation of the liquor traffic,
which may be best accomplished by way of

There were many prominent Democrats in the
city to-day, and every phase Of the Cabinet
question was discussed at great length among
them. Everybody now considers the State.
Treasury and Law departments as filled, and
those who profess to speak semi officially say
that the rest Of the Cabinet hinges on the selec-
ton Of the Postmaster general.
ALI the names that have been discussed for
this place are dismissed by the inner circle of
Democrats as settled adversely, and rumor
that seemed to gain much credence today was
that new man was mere .a:2 likely 10 DO in
troduced into Cabinet discussions. The chances
are said now to be in favor Of dark horse"
Speaking With the Press correspondent, to day.
a prominent Democrat said: "Mr. Cleveland is
considering for Postmaster-general gentleman
whose name has not yet been anywhere men
toned for Cabinet place. He is the peer of
any man now popularity placed in the Cabinet,

CONFLICTING CIVILIZATIONS.
A Chicago Judge Refuses a Cinnamon Per"
mission to Adopt q White Child.

CHICAGO Feb. 25.-Yesterday, in the County
Cont application was made by Dong Ting.
Chinese portrait painter a resident in this city.
for the privilege of adopting Philip Brown, .
white child four months old, now in the custody
of the Foundlings' Home. Judge Prendergast
announced his ruling on the application to-day.
He said that, so far as he could learn, this case
was the first instance Of the kind, and therefore
he had no precedent to go by. He was
satisfied. from the evidence presented that
Dong Ting and his wife were reputable people.
The question with the court was the welfare OF
the child, and not even the consent of its mother
could put that question aside The child was
born under our civilization, and could not, owing
to its infancy, assent object to adoption into
another civilization. Ought not that fact tc act
as bar to adoption. The court must not alone
consider whether the child would be cared for
Clothed and fayu ~seSer he Nos
be given a Christian education That this
would or could be done did not appear in the evil
dence before the court. These petitioners
could, under the law become citizens; there was
nothing to prevent them returning to the land
of their birth, and if this adoption were con-
senteG to by the court, no earthly power could
prevent them from taking the child with them
to China where he would grow up in another
civilization. The customs and religionSof China
were right and proper enough for children born
there, but it was not to be supposed
that this child. when it should reach years OK
discretion. would go there of its own free will
On the other hand, should the parents by adop-
ton remain in this country, the child, as it grew
up, would be subjected to prejudice, aversion
and insult on account of it's adopted relations
and it was not improbable that these things
would engender repugnance on it's Earn
toward its adopted parents as it grew
up. The petition was denied, but
the court stated that the order would
not be entered until the petitioners had further
opportunity to submit testimony. What adds
force to this petition is the fact that Dong
Ting and his wife are living quiet respectable,
civilized sort of life, having neatly furnished
rooms on a second floor, and the husband is do :.
ing very good business in the practice of his
profession, having painted portraits Of a number

THE sound, sober judgment of the country
will coincide with the denunciation by Sen
ator Ingalls, of the proceedings subsequent to
the Swain court-martial, as adisgrace to civil
ization, something that would not be tolerated
either in Russia or Turkey The record of
this case will ever remain stain upon the

amazing that President Arthur could have
lent himself to such fragrant and outrageous
prostitution of justice and of the forms of law.

addressed to himself and others, from Presi-
dent-eiect Cleveland, relative to stoppage Of the
coinage Of silver. The entlemen who have the

tains an acknowledgment of the let
ter recently forwarded to Mr. Cleye-
land which requested him to hear
all sides before committing himself on the silver

dent-elect says that the Importance of the sub
ject. and the receipt Of the communion from
members of the House of Representatives
makes it necessary to give earnest attention to
the question before his views are presented to
the public in his inaugural address He favors
suspension of coinage of the silver dollar,
giving his reasons, and expresses
fears of financial crisis unless legislation to
this end is enacted.
No reference is made TO the proposed legisla-
ton ON this question in connection with the
sundry civil bill. nor are any recommendations
relative to legislation, before Adjournment of
Congress, offered. The letter will DO submitted
tomorrow by Mr.. Warner, to the other gentle
men interested in the subject, and afterwards

Light Punishment of Bank DefauIters.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. 25-The grand jury
has found two bills against James Mech, Chas.
Webb and William Roath, the Norwich bank
defaulters. The prisoners decided to plead
guilty and not go to trial. Mech and Webb
were each sentenced to State prison for five
years; Roaths sentence is four years at hard la-
Dor and a fine of one dollar and costs. The dis
trict attorney in asking for sentence, informed
the court that not one national bank defauter
convicted in the last ten years had served out his
sentence. While he did not ask for severe
penalty, he would ask for one which would be
served out by the prisoners to the very last day.
Over 5000 900 had been stolen in the last ten
years by bank men in this State, and the United
States government through its officers in in
ficting penalties, owed duty to the residents Of
Connecticut
