IT is more than probable that the difficulty
about getting the money needed for the COM
pletion of the Bartholdi pedestal will solve
itself in its own good time. The fund started
by the New York World has reached nearly
$50, 600, and as the days and weeks wear on
it shows no signs of feebleness. The death
of Victor Hugo and the unstinted praise be-
slowed on him by American journals will
have tendency to bring more clearly before
the popular mind the intent of the Bar
tholdi gift namely, to bind more closely the
chains Of friendship between two great
peoples. 1t will be an exhibition of the
most abject littleness if when the splendid
statue arrives, the fund for the completion
of the pedestal shall still be lacking. This
state of affairs Is fortunately almost impos-
sible. For when the magnificent Goddess of
Liberty comes, there will be such wave of
popular enthusiasm over her that any
needed funds will pour in rapidly. 1t will
never be said Of the generous citizens of the
United States that they permitted SO splendid
gift to go to wreck for want of pedestal
on which to place her.

Where to Put II.

The Phelan-Short juryman, whom New
York judge sent to Jail for seeking informa.
tion on the case by personal inspection OF
the premises, shows himself to be high
minded and sensitive man by declining to
receive the contributions offered to pay his
fine by those who deprecate the ipfliction
Of a penalty upon him.
He is q man of courage, as has been
demonstrated by his military record having
carried regiment flag through thirteen
hard d-fought battles, and a short experience
behind jail bars for what he conceived to
be an efficient and conscientious discharge
Of duty has no terrors for him.
But it is possible that there is some de-
feet in the laws which permit his punish.
ment; and the public attention that has
been excited by his case, might be profitably
directed to reform of the statutes.

AN aarmist statistician from the West,
Rev. DIR. r. ii. Allen, declares that at the
present rate of increase there will be i'm 1885,
960O0, 900 white people and l92, 600, 600 colored
people. He bases his estimate on the asser-
ton that twenty years ago there were 3,9F,-
600 colored people in the Southern states
while to-day there are more than 1900 600
On this basis he makes the proposition that
the colored population doubles every twenty
years; while the whites require thirty-tive
years for the same result This is exactly
what Is moi the case. Any one who will look
at the census figures from 1890 TO 1860 will
see that the whole population, then having
but an inconsiderable portion of the negro
element in 1t, kept steadily little less than
doubling itself every score Of years. From
1860 to 1880 there is a marked falling off due
to the wholesale loss of life in the war. The
population in 1860 was 3l443,32l, and Il
should have been 60, OOO, 900 in 1880, but fel
10000, 900 short chiefly for the reasons noted
All physicians testify to the fact that the NOR
tality among colored people is muci
greater than that among the whites
AS comparatively few of the Negro
race risked their lives in the war, thei
statistics appear to better advantage from
comparison made of the white and colore,
people for the past twenty years. But th
true situation and the falsity of Aliens con
clusion are apparent when the facts are con
sidered.

Young Thaddeus Stevens was the favor
ite relative of his more illustrious uncle of
the same name. For him, probably more
than any other person, that grim old man
cherished fond attachment and of him
he spoke with tenderness that he exhib-
tied in few other relations except for the
memory Of his mother.
1t is noted in our local columns to-day
that to the government application was
made for q tombstone to mark the grave of
young Thad., and that the memorial has
just been received out of the nations
bounty, and will be set up over the hith-
erto unmarked resting place of Thaddeus
Stevens nephew.
1t will occur to many people that the
executors of Thaddeus Stevens, of whom
Edward MCPHERSON alone survives, ought
to have attended to this years ago. Know
ing as they did the relations between their
testator and his relative and legatee, they
might reasonably have supplied this memo
rial before the government was call upon
to do it.
The orphange which Stevens will pro.
vided for is lost to the public because the
residue of his estate is said to not yet reach
$4,000, and likely it never will the biogra
ply of Stevens, which his literary executor

LANCASTER. MAY d, 1885.
Protecting the Weaker Sex.

The conviction of young Pearre in Bal
more for attempting felonious assault
upon Mrs. Kirkland in Baltimore hotel,
following as it does so quickly on the heels
Of the seventeen years sentence of Ser
geant Crowley, in New York, and the
death sentence of Howard Cooper, the
Maryland negro ravisher, is proof patent
that the rights of the weaker sex are safely
entrusted in the hands of male jury. BY
nature man was framed more sturdily than
woman, that he might be her defender in
time of peril. When man endeavors to use
that superior brute force with which he is
endowed to accomplish an unholy purpose,
II Is fitting that jury of his fellows should
sit upon his case and mete out stern justice
to him. As true men recognizing the God
given relations of the sexes, they see clear
ly the enormity of the offense and under
stand best how it should be avenged.
With the Pearre jury it made but little
for the prisoners case that the plaintiff was
a woman whose reputation was alleged to
be under cloud. Granted, what was by
no means admitted, that she may have over
stepped the bounds of virtue in her career
she was entitled to all that protection
which the laws of society guarantee to each
of its individual members. The jury
brushed aside the legal cobwebs spun by
the prisoners counsel in his behalf, and
saw simply the privacy of woman's room
invaded by an assailant in whom sensual
passion had for the time obtained supre
macy over reason. The jury did well tc
find him guilty of assault, and as the pen
atty of his crime is FROM, five to eighteer
years, he will probably have leisure to re
feet that WorN rettrtude, apart from an!
yeligj0ns Considerations, is after all tn
hest policy.
But it is not the vengeance that over
takes the particular offender which the Law
most looks at in crimes Of this description
but rather the lesson of terror to evil doer
that is burned in letters of fire on the mind
of those who might feel tempted to g
wrong in the same way. This vindicator
part of the law is its best portion in tn
prevention of like offenses in the future
Therefore it is when the Pearres, tn
Coopers and Crowleys are made to suffe
for their crimes, the public may well rt
joice-not that individuals are made t
suffer, pain, disgrace or discomfort, but be
cause the majesty of the law has bee
avenged.

THE cowboy of the wild West is de.
liciously humorous person. He is born into

tunes and stern antipathy for whatever is
allied to tho graces OF civilization. To a COW.
boy silk hat is like a red rag in the face OF
an angry bull, and he considers 1t his
bounden duty as well as blessed privilege to
crush into shapelessness all this kind of head
gear that comes across his path. The virgin
soil Of the cowboys mind is day
by day becoming richer in its apprecia-
ton of the humorous. A party of
these rovers stopped the Theodore Thomas
concert troupe in New Mexico a short time
ago, and with drawn revolvers made the
musicians play and forced Madam Materna,
who was i'll of headache, to warble. II a
troop of these sons of the wild West could be
induced to go East and anchor themselves in
the capitol at Harrisburg, they might earn
the undying gratitude OF the state by forcing
Legislators to act with some wisdom in the
important concerns entrusted to them.

Mr.. Brooks believes that the statute OF lImita-
ton in question is unconstitutional and pro-
poses to bring suit in order that the point may
be judicially passed upon. He sets up that the
statute violates the provision of the Constitu-
tion which secures the inviolability of con-
tracts. The Government entered into con-
tract with the volunteers; in consideration OF
their services the Government agreed that such
of them as should be wounded or otherwise dis
abled in her service should be entitled to GER
tain benefits. Commenting upon these facts Mr..
Brooks remarks that " the supreme law of the
land forbids Congress to set aside National
contract or to pay National debt by statute OF

that the soldiers debt is National debt as
