Judge Cooley ON the Labor QUESTION.

Judge Cooley on the Labor QUESTION.
ANN ARBoR, Mich, April 16.-In a lecture be-
fore the Political Science Association of the
Michigan University, Judge T. M. Cooley gave
particular attention to the labor question. He
opposes despotic remedies, and believes that
strikes having evil consequences stand in the
way of progress. Each party should respect the
object Of en- ployment thus making it mutually
beneficial. Lawsuits are to be avoided as
breaking the spirit of confidence which
should exist. He considers arbitration the old
est and best remedy, although it is most success
full in foreign governments, andsfSts not always
please the democratic independe, On of the Amer
lean. He advocated permanent board Of con-
troll such as is in vogue in England, to be made
up equally from both classes.

The Committee ON Labor Troubles.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Chairman Curtin
called together, this afternoon. his select COM
mittee charged with an investigation of the labor
troubles. There was general interchange of
views as to the proper method of conducting the
inquiry, but as Messrs. Grain and Stewart, two
of the members, were absent. no conclusion was
reached From the tone Of the discussion 1t
would seem probable that the committee will go
West in ten days or fortnight, and that the in
tervening period will be spent in perfecting a
such pertinent testimony offers in this city.

su.RPLEss A. SHERIFF..

During the whole of the year 1883,
Seth X. Sharpless was sheriff of Lara
ME county.
On the 2lst of Octber, in that year a
party of desperate %ruffians took possession
of Schwartze's ranch, some eighteen miles
from Cheyenne, and committed acts of
high handed outrage, full particulars of
which the SIN may obtain from its back
files, but which need not just now be
further specified. At . O'Clock in the
afternoon of hat day Sheriff Sharpless
received information of the riot and devil
ment going on within his bailiwick and of
the immediate need of his presence on the
scene.
Accordingly. he got ready and started
when? The good citizens who favor his
claims to another term of Office, will be
somewhat surprised. not to say disguised,
to learn that he started from Cheyenne
at half past 10 o'clock at night, just eight
hours and a halfafter receiving his urgent
call for help.
Three hours and a half later-or at ,
a. m, Just twelve hours after being called
upon. he arrived at Schwartze's ranch.
OF course the birds were flown, as he
must have known they would be. The
gang had left at 4 p. m.
Acting Governor Morgan offered a re-
ward of $3.50, and Mr.. Schwartze an adj
ditional 5000 for the apprehension of the
offenders, but they were never caught.
Even the Sun cannot deny these facts;
in what manner it may seek to excuse and
%extenuate remains to be seen. One
thing is certain, no man who could
act as MIR. Sharpless did on that OCCASION,
can be regarded by any sane man as fit
for the important Office he seeks What
ever views the lawless element of society
may entertain, all good citizens are inter
ested in securing the services Of an eff
icient officer, whom neither favor to
hoodlums nor considerations of conven.
fence and safety will deter from a prompt
discharge Of his duty.
From the facts Of the Schwartze's
ranch affair, it is evident that Mr. Sharp
less is not such a man as the position
might at any time require.

CHIEF JUSTICE MAGINNrs.

The GAINESVILLE, o.. Daily S'gnol brings
the following information concerning the
new chief justice of Wyoming:
Word reached here yesterday afternoon
that the president had appointed William
l. Maginnis. OF this city. 10 be chief just
ice of the supreme court Of the territory
OF Wyoming.
William l.. Maginnis was born and
brought up in gainesville and is now about
81 years of age. He is the only son Of
the late Hon T. j. Maginnis, who was
one of the ablest attorneys of Southeast
ern Ohio. He has been actively engaged
IN the practice Of his profession for about
eight years, in which he has been rlost
successful. He comes FROM one OF the
first families in the Muskingum valley, is
well educated, a thorough gentleman in
every sense Of the word, and a firm be-
lever in the principles Of the great Dem
ocratic party. He was at one time con
nected with the Democratic press Of
Muskingum county.
This appointment reflects great credit
upon the wisdom of President Cleveland.
1t conclusively proves that in making ap.
poIntments to such important positions lac
has in view the good of the people who
are to be served. selecting only men OF
ability, energy and nerve, all of which
qualifications Mr. Mlginnis fully possesses
The people of Wyoming Territory will
find Mr.. Maginnis a Judge in all that the
term implies.

The worst side of the newspaper-the
worst side of personal journalism is this
that it gives us the exceptional side,
makes it seem the real and personal side.
Crime are made interesting, criminals
heroes, and their doings chronicled as if
they were kings and queens. 1t is the
ambition of many persons to see them
selves in print; and if a girl will get
married to see her name in the newspa-
per, as one admitted she had done, why
it is not beyond the bounds of POSSIBLE
ity that a man would commit murder in
order to be the reigning newspaper sem
%sation, and that he would exercise inge-
nuity to make it brutal as possible, know
ing that this increases his sensational
value Jennie June.

The Democracy of Wyoming Territory,
in convention assembled, declare as fol-
lows:
That the principles OF the Democratic
party as enumerated in its platform
adopted BY the national Democratic con
%veution at Chicago on July 10. 1881, are
the rule and guide of our political faith;
That we affirm the principle
ted in our national plotfoam, that the fed
eral officers in the territories should be
restricted to citizens previously resident
therein;
That we believe that the interests of our
territory demand a reorganization OF the
judicial and executive departments of our
territorial government;
That the growing interests OF our terri
tory demand increased facilities in our
mail service;
That we believe in nominating and
e~lecuing men to the different Offices wholly
Upon the ground Of principles, merit and
%eapabllityi
That we do hereby make a solemn pro-
test against the controlling influence of
wealth In our elections, and pledge our
selves TO do all in our power to discourage
ana prevent the corrupt use of money in
this and all future elections;
That we demand the enactment Of laws
providing for arbitration between EN-
p,oyrrs and employed, and to enforce the
decisions of the arbitraturs;
That we demand the %abrogation of all
laws that do not bear equally up n capital
and labor, and the removal of unjust tech
nicalitics. delays and determinations in the
administration OF justice;

THE LEADER cheerfully acknowledges
that it has done Mr.. S~harpless injustice,
in imputing to him a degree of haste in
starting for Schwartze's ranch on hat
October Sunday, three years ago. which
is not warranted by the facts OF the case.
Instead Of leaving at only five hours
after he had been summoned-he did not
get off until half past 10. 1t nigh; iniure
the Republican candidate for sheriff with
the hoodlum class, to assert that he would
be ready to interfere to protect a respecta
bio family against a riotous raid, even in
five hours, and the correction is accord
ingly made.

srRANee FREAKS OF ELECTRICITY.


bihkuiAr IntnOmenA OF the new zealand
Eruptions-A Pulling Anair.
Among the many extraordinary ma
tural phenomena attending the recent
eruption of Mount Tarawera, one which
appears to me not the least singular has
been passed over in comparative silence
and without exciting SO far as
l am aware, among the scientific or un-
scientific public. During the last week
those attending Mr.. Burton's interesting
lectures have heard there related one of
the strange and, so far, inexplicable cir
cumstances witnessed by MIR. Mckea
n others of hat devoted little band
to whom it must have seemed that hell
itself had opened to destroy them. a al
lude to the fact of their being unable
to make water boil on that terrible
night, when earth itself appeared to be
in a state of ebullition. l give here the
narrative from Mr.. McRae's own lips,
and l feel confident that few who have
read of the magnificent courage and
presence of mind displayed by him
among those fearsome surroundings, and
none who have heard the plain, un-
vanished tale modestly related by him
self, will ascribe the circumstances as
due to the working of an overheated and
excited imagination.
Mr.. McRae says: II made George
Baker, the cook. put some water on the
fire to make cocoa for the women, who
were cold and shivering, poor souls,
though holding up %grandly. About
three quarters of an hour afterward he
met me in the passage and said to me:
Come here, sir What is it, said
l. Il can't get the water to boil
he said. Tut said L; poke up the fire.
Its n good fire. he replied, and so it
was. a glowing fire of blazing rata logs
"a splendid fire. Put your hand in
there and feel it, said he, taking the lid
off the boiler. l did so-very gingerly
l can assure you, and found the water
as cold AS when we put it on. There
were so many extraordinary things hap
pening around me that this particular
N did not excite my wonder very
much. l thought it was owing to the
electricity in the air. George Baker can
vouch, as well as myself, for the fact of
the water having been on the fire for
full three quarters of an hour. and at
the end of that time being as cold as
when put on. We spoke of the circum-
stance to the others at the time as being
curious, but soon had matters more
serious to distract our attention"
Now, surely, here is a natural phenom-
enon worthy the investigation of all our
scientific men, not only in New Zealand,
but throughout the civilized world. We,
of course, all know that the greater the
atmospheric pressure the greater the
number of units of heat required to
make the water boil, but some other de
terrent cause must have been at work
in this instance, as. after having been
placed for three-quarters of an hour on
Il good fire, the water remained abso-
lutely cold. What other cause was
there? is the problem l suggest to our
scientific men as n well worthy of
their research.-Cor. New Zealand Her

so: and also that they must work Tor their
