CHIEF-JUsTIcE WAITE, of the United States

CHIEF-JUsTIcE WAITE, of the United States
Supreme Court, passed his SEVENTEEN birth
day on Tuesday, and having served as judge
continuously for more than ten years, is now
eligible for retirement on yearly pension of
$4,000. He is the first Chief Justice to
reach the position of eligibility to retirement,
though not the first judge Of the court to do
so. The retirement law was not passed in
Chief-justice Taney's time, and Chief justice
Chase died before he had served ten years
It is comfortable position, that of feeling
that one may retire from a high office to
enjoy otium cum dignitate and $4,000 a
year for life. At least, we presume it is
There is, however. no probability of Justice
Waite's early retirement from the bench
He is in vigorous health, and to all appear
ances is good for several years yet of hard
aud useful work

THE assessment of twenty-five cents upon
each Knight of Labor called for by Master
Workman Powderly for the benefit of locked
out members of the organization WILL if col
lected, amount to something like $780, 900.
With such a sum in the association bank to
be drawn on for the purpose mentioned, is not
there the barest possibility of other Knights
now at work putting themselves in the way of
being locked out? A chance to be supported
in idleness will tempt many man who would
otherwise go about his business uncomplain-

regarding the dryness of this paper. If it
contains, for instance-as it must, being SO
complete-a full account Of the proceedings
of the Commission in the Indianapolis post
Office investigation, the Philadelphia postofice
investigation, and sundry other inquiries of
like character, the public will be taught a
lesson in the art of whitewashing that will be
very interesting if not gratifying. If the

dry, though it may make the readers very

WE desire to say to the liquor-selli law
breakers and criminals that they are treasur-
ing up wrath against the day of wrath. Their
policy of employing disreputable dead beats
to make cases" against such persons as Ser
geant Fredericks, in reprisal for the enforce
ment of the special law against open saloons
on Sunday, will return to them in
a measure heaped up, shaken together,
and running over. They are making
bitter enemies and antagonists for themselves
by every movement they make. There is an
old and very reliable maxim which says that
he that taketh the sword shall perish by the
sword. We make nc charge for this sugges-
ton to the white-aproned criminals, who find
that they have come to the end of their long
continued and defiant violation of law. If
they want to preserve any part of their bust
ness, they would better hasten to obey the
special laws enacted to regulate it and to keep
it within bounds.

SUES FOR HER DOVER.
Dead Mans HOusekeeper Contests His Will
and Claims To Be His Widow

Dead Mans HOusekeeper Contests His Will
and Claims To Be His Widow.
New York Special.
There was An interesting development to-day
in the contest over the will of Joseph Gall, who
died last February. Gall WAS wealthy optician
and was about eighty-two years of age at the
time of his death. In is will he beQueathed
81, goo to his housekeeper, Amelia Steele and at
ter making few minor legacies to relatives, he
left the rest Of his fortune of about $3.50 600 to
his adopted son, Charles F. Gall.
The housekeeper interposed objections to the
probate of the will ON the ground that the OLD
optician her husband and the father of her
two infants and of her unborn babe Under the
name of Amelia Gall she began suit in Brook
lyn to obtain her dover right in the old mans
estate. The residnary !egatee opposed her claim
as the widow of the old optician. and his invest.
cation brought some interesting facts to light
His counsel made motion before Surrogate
Rollins for the appointment of temporary ad.
ministrator.
He produced afidavits showing that on Aug.
%. 1871, Amelia was married TO John hermann,
who now resides in this city, by Rev. Francis j.
Schneider. A few years later the couple parted,
owing to dlssensions, but no divorce was ever
obtained. 1t was stated that last May Amelia
sent for Jermann to come and see her at No. 900
Lafayette avenue, Brooklyn, and then informed
him that it was very desirable for him to disRp-
pear, as she wished to establish her claim as Mr..
Calls widow. She finally offered him 81, 900 "a
leave the country forever.
These facts were sworn to by hermann and
by Emil Wildbret, his cousin, who was one Of
tho witnesses to the marriage. The housekeep-
ers counsel admitted tina marriage in 1871 but
assorted that she had not seen or heard Of her
husband for many years, and she was justified
IN believing him dead. Surrogate Rollins ad.
journed the motion until Thursday morning 30

and embarrassment; but being, as all the
muswumps insist, an honest man and one en-
tirely devoted to civil-service reform, he can
consistently adopt no other course than that of
manfully acknowledging his mistake by rein
stating Stone and dropping Benton finally and
for good. He will do this, of course; but under
the irritating circumstances, the public will
not condemn him for putting Lamont, or
whoever Uninterrupted those, papers under a
course of severe discipline.

THE Rev. Mr.. McCulloch's pulpit plea for
the Chicago Anarchists, and his card defend
ing it, have called forth a number of commu-
nications and comments These vary in style,
according to the sources from which they
come, but all arrange themselves in one of
three classes-frst, positively and strongly
condemning Mr.. McCulloch's position; second,
excusing him on the ground that, in the
main, he is good man, but sentimentally in
clined and really meant no harm; and, third,
fully agreeing with him in his sympathy with
the condemned Anarchists, and emphasizing
the demand for new trial. These three
classes pretty clearly typify the attitude Of
society generally towards crime and criminals
those who condemn crime and demand its
punishment; those who hold that, as govern
ment is strong, it can afford to treat crime
leniently, and those who openly sympatLize
with crime. The last-named class, more nu-
merous than they ought to be, will bear
watching. Those who hold that government
is so strong it can afford to treat crime leni-
iently are also dangerous class, because it is
impossible to tell whittier their sympathies
may lead them or where they may turn up in
a crisis The only safe class of citizens, the
class that will do 'to tie to, are those who
believe in the condign punishment of all crime
who believe that government is great not
in proportion as 1t forgives criminals, but in
proportion as it Furnishes them and enforces
law and order. It will be dark day for the
Republic when this class shall not outnumber
both of the others combined.

In his inaugural message, March 4, 1885,
the President said:
"Those who worthily seek public employ
ment have the right to insist that merit and
competency shall be recognized instead of
party subserviency, or the surrender of hon
est political belief"
In the Stone letter, written week ago, the
same man says:
"The administration of the government is
not to be trusted in places high or low, to
those who are opposed to the party respon-
sible for such administration.

tee, oppose the formation of new street rail-
