TIE report Of the judiciary Commit
tee on Mr., Scranton's bill amendatory
OF and supplemental to IAN act to alter
the judicial districts of Pennsylvania"
has been submitted. The bill as re-
ported provides that the counties Of
Wayne and Pike shall cease to be part
of the Eastern Judicial district and shall
be added to the Western district. That
all suits which shall be brought against
persons in the counties of Lackawanna,
Wayne, Pike, Monroe, Carbon, Sus-
quehanna, Wyoming, Luztrne, Brad
ford and Columbia shall be determined
at the sessions of the Courts at Scran-
ton. The report says the counties in
cluded in this bill comprise the greater
part of the anthracite coal region, hav-
ing an area of 6600 square miles and a
population Of over 100000. While dur
ing thirty years-from 1850 to 1880
the population of the State increased
50 per cent, that of these ten counties
increased lZO per cent. The territory
named is in the extreme northeastern
corner of the State, and those having
business in the United States Courts
are obliged to traverse the entire State,
distance of 100 miles, to reach Pitts
burg, the principal seat of the Court and
the residence Of all its officers. This is
so burdensome TO individuals as to
amount to a denial of justice, and is,
further, a source Of serious expense to
the Government on account of the
heavy mileage fees of Court officers,
jurors and witnesses in criminal cases.
The passage of this bill is requested by
the Bar Of the several counties affected,
and The proposed relief has been serious.

THE New York Sm puts it in this
way There is "A good deal Of discussion
just now in various parts upon the
question Of limiting the working dav to
eight hours. Eight huurs' harI worl,
certainly makes pretty long day, and
We dare say that in the progress of soci-
ETY., attended, as il must be-. bv all sorts
OF improvements ana Inventions. the
time will come when men will not have
TO work more than eight hours in order
to earn their living; and perhaps even n
shorter day will suffice for the purpose,
though, as the case now stands, II is
doubtful whether a general limitation
of the working day to so brief period
Is practicable. But, however this NAV
be, we should like to see It tried: and
as for those who can afford to restrict
their hours of daily toll to eight, let
them 60 ahead with the experiment.
One thing, ho~cyer, is certain, and this
Is that no person who works only eight
hours, can expect to be paid as much
for it as when he works ten hoUrs or
more. Moreover, the great point about
all these questions is liberty Let every
one have full freedom to do or not to
do everything that his mind prompts;
and let no one interfere with the free
dom Of another But why should there
be any dispute on the number Of hours
that should constitute a days work?
The sensible plan woull be to pay by
the hour, not 10y the day, and 10 lei
every one labor as many hours, or as
fdT, a lie may wish

The Bell Telephone Case

CINCINNATI, September 24.-Argu-

case in the United States Circuit Court
terminated this morning. At the close
of the argument the court said it wished
all papers to be laid before it in order
that a deliberate review of the whole
elSe could be made. A decision may,
therefore, not be reached before sew
eral weeks. Ex-Soficitor General
Goode, at the close of the case, asked
the court if it would hear the argument
upon the demurrer of the sub-com-
panies which the government counsel
was prepared to offer. The court said
it would not hear the demurrer until
after this question was disposed of, but
would hear it at the December court at
Columbus.

II he Is in a fit state. II not, the
officer who made the arrest should
take said receipt to the prisoner the
first opportunity, the station house
keeper and police officer singing the
charge and property entered in the
charge book.
He should see that prisoners in
the lock up cells are visited every
hour. He should himself enter the
lock up yard or otherwise as the
case may be at uncertain times,
checking the slightest irregularity.
BY his strict attention to duty and
directing the force under his charge
in the interest of the police welfare
he would show TO the public that he
is man capable to hold his position
independently, that he is a man up
to the standard of efficiency. He
would then be respected by his
officers and men, and be upheld and
supported by the community and
public press.
