The North american, Of Philadelphia,
does no credit to its sense of decencv or pa
triotism when it says, appropos of Gov.
Pattison's alleged appointment of an cx-
confederate soldier to be a notary public,
that if the governor has nominated a
former Confederate officer to any position
whatever in the state of PENNSYLVANIA he
has done very unwise thing, and the Sem
ate will do more unwise thing if it per
mits such a person To he commissioned
There are some things that ought not TO bo
done, and the selection Of any man who
voluntarily bore arms against the United
States to hold office in this state is one of
those things"
The war has heen over for twenty Years
More than half the persons that partici-
pated in it are dead. 4 new generation
has come up since its close. The last pres
idential election was decided by voters
born since Gettysburg. I'm the Judgment
of reasonable men and by the arbitrament
Of the sword it has been decided
that the North was right and the
South was wrong. But there are few who
viii not admit that miuc-teuths of those
who went into the Union army would have
been Confederates had they lived South
and an equally large proportion Of those
who became Confederates would have been
Union men under other conditions.
All this has been recognized in the
policy of the general government for wears
and it has met with the approval of a great
and generous people. The Republican
leaders have ratified il time and again
when party advantage could be made by il.
Grant called Akerman, an cX- { Confederate.
into his cabinet and HAYES appointed
another, Key, his postmaster general.
Judge Settle, an eN-rebel presided over a
Republicannational convention: Longstreet
who led the Confederate assault at Gettvs-
burg was made collector of New Orleans
and Mosby who bushwhacked the Union
soldiers was given consular appointment
by Republican administration. Malone
and Riddleberger were welcomed as associ-
ates by Republican Senators. and the list
might be prolonged indefinitely
Now it lis proposed TO reverse the policy
OF twenty years and exclude a man from
the petty office of notary ia this great stat.
because, iorsooth, he WITS an obscure sol
aier IN the armies of Lee and jackson. We
trust the issue viii be made clear and un.
mistakable, and that every Republican sen
ator viii be put upona he record. Senator
Lees recent speech in the Republican
caucus justiiies the expectancy that his
wing of the party VIII be found narrow
enough TO oppose the confirmation on the
ground proposed. So be it.

Nor 80 much attention has been recently
given to the impoStions practced in the sale
of cheese as to some Of its cognate products,
milk and butter. Yet so great have they
become that an English divine, Archdeacon
penison, feols impelled to raise his voice in
protest against their authors. He declares
that the famous Cheddar cheese is as rare as
black swan, owing 10 the insane process Of
rapid making for rapid sale. This innoya-

conceived the plan of artificial drying. In

Gus to the opposition in giving them about
all the notaries they asked for. Here, in
Lancaster, for instance, where, time out of
mind, no Republican governor ever made
a Democrat notary, the Republicans have
all been reappointed and the emoluments
of this Office have been almost entirely re-
tanned by Republicans. If this up-country
appointment Of the governor shall be re-
jected, solely because the man named was
a Confederate, Coy. Pattison win have less

THE Reading board of health have had an
analysis made of the milk furnished to the
citizens of Reading by the various milk
dealers. The examinations were made with
the lactomcter, the temperature of the milk
being about 800 Fahrenheit. One hundred
and scventy-siN samples were examined and
from the analysis it was deduccd that the
standard below which pure milk should not
fall was specific gravity, 1880 cream per-
ccntagc by volumes, .0S. For the quality it
was found that the worst milk was one-fourth
water, which percentage of the aqueous was
Oily found in one sample. In the percentage
q cream, the best was fifteen per cent. and
tbs worst one per cent This, doubtless, is
Ttincipally due to the better ercrcam-producing
qualities ofcertain kinds of milk. The scheme
fr the investigation of milk is a good one.
ana if inspection was often made aud at un-
expected times, the quality of the lacteal
fluid would loo lar better.

The Judges Admonition.

Judge Walton's sarcastic wit was
new exemplified more forcibly than at
a reccut term OF the S. j. Court at Au-
burn. A fellow who broke intp a Lis
bon street store and stole numerous ar
ticles was tried on an indictment for
breaking and entering ami larceny.
By some ineNp'icable process of reason
ing the jury arrived at the conclusion
that the respondent WIS guilty of lar
ceny, but no, guilty Of breaking and
entering. and such was the verdict.
''Gentlcm,a." said ;A.o judge. 'the wv
obliges me to take notice of your YER
dict. The %scverest sentence which the
statute permits mo to impose on a per-
son convicted oi simple larceny is two
years in the State prison. l will sem
tence this RESPONDENT for a shorter
term. | will MAKE it eighteen months"
The friends OF lie prisoner on the jury.
who thought that by bringing in a YER
dict of simple larceny they would get
him off with thirty days in Jail, were
d~umbfoundea. Similar to this case
was Il historical trial heard by Judge
Walton iii UA.orl county. A man was
charged with stealing two bags of corn,
and the evidence demonstrated to an
ordinary mind that heawas guilty. The
jury, however. brought in a verdict of
not guilty. "Prisoncr at the bar"
said the Judge, ''the jury has decided
that you are not guilty, and the Court
orders that you be discharged, but the
Court admonishes you not TO steal any
more corn. "-Lewiston (Me. } Journal

H N CASE.
How 1t Came Before the Court at
Grand Forks.

Grand Forks.
Grand Forks Herald, August ID.
Last evening the Benson county con-
test with Ramsey county in regard to
the annexed territory came up before
Judge Mcconnell and was argued at
some length, Ex-Governor Austin, Of
Fargo, appearing for Benson and Cy
Wellington for Ramsey. The argument
was resumed this morning n the Ben
son-Ramsey county embroglio. Judge
Austin replied to the points of yelling
ton in respect to the necessity of verify
ing the notice Of contest. He main.
tanned that it was not proper to make
up the issue as between Roberts. who
merely put the machinery In motion,
and Ramsey county on the other hand.
The question was one of too great public
importance to set the contest aside on
tecllnicalities.
Mr.. Wellington argued that in the
very inception of the case there was q
lack to allege a jurisdictional fact; that
before an order Of the judge can be
obtained the law must be complied with
and n o subsequent amendment can haye
any retroactive effect. He read the act
of 1855 relating to contest in case of
change of county lines, etc. He claimed
Benson county had two remedies, one
by appeal from the county boards de-
cision and one under this act. He main
tanned that the proceeding by petition
should have been instituted by an cleo.
tor of Benson county instead of Ram.
sey, as was done. Roberts affidavit de.
string to withdraw the case was not en-
tertained. Neither was the counter
affidavit offered.
Gov. Austin replied briefly to the
points raised by Mr.. Wellington. The
judge suggested that the question ofthe
location of Fort Totten was one OF which
he might have to take judicial notice.
1t was claimed it was in Benson county.
After considerable see-sawing between
the attorneys. the Judge looked at the
order and held that that alleged the
right of appeal verified and the discre
ton of the court satisfied and the point
about the district attorneys not prose-
cutting a c%autionary matter. He per-
mitted Gov. Austin to amend the petit
ton so as to show the fact of residence,
whether IN Benson or Ramsey, and in
reply to a question by attorney said he
did not think it made any difference in
which county he resided as to his right
to begin proceedings. Both counties
are interested and a citizen of either
county might begin the contest.
