Since the appearance OF our
article OF last week on this subject,
we have had the satisfaction OF
learning that the escape OF the
parties tried before the magistrates
court tor a too free indulgence IN a
%"shiveree,' made Il narrower escape
than we supposed. In other words,
the only thing that saved them was
the lack of proof that they partici-
pated in the "shiveree - and now,
in justice to the gentlemen who
composed the jury, it IS a pleasure
to us to be able to state that most,
if not all of them, endorsed our
condemnation of this shameful
practice, aud at least some of them
would have been pleased at an OPP
portunity to make "a few examples
out OF the crowd that exhibited on
this occasion. We did not intend,
in our remarks last week, to make
the impression that those gentle
men who composed the jury would
wiIfuliy stultify themselves by a
disregard tor their oaths, but as we
had no idea of the remarkable
failure in making proof, we sup
posed the jury was inclined to look
upon q "shiveree" as innocent
amusement, without animous or i'll
will, aud, therefore, not a violation
of the&law. This is the abstract
view many take Of it, and is the
idea we are after combating.
Every mans house is his castle
and his premises are sacred. While
Intimate friends may take liberties
and get off practical jokes upon
him in discretion, permlscuouS
crowds have no manner OF right tC
invade the sanctity of his premises
to offer BIN a gratuitous insult
and now, that the matter has been
brought before the public and re
ceivea its frown, we hope the boys
will come to think sensibly OF 1t
aud mir II altogether. WI don'i
believe they : malicious but arr
simply t~honghtless and "spilen'
tor fun. But such tnn is bad ant
unpopular.

THE sTAn LIVERY STABLES


The Star Livery Stables OF Mr..

marks Of Scranton, and it is o
noticeable fact they r DOW being
fitted up, cleaned, whnewasbed and
otherwise put in order as though
DO financial d~epressloh bad ever
been telt in our community.
Through all the financial vicissi-
tudes of the past seventeen years
the Star Livery Stables have never
varied in price, except in conformi-
ty with SURROUNDING circumstances,
and these prices have always been
| uniform without respect TO persons.
Good horses, nice comfortable bug
gies, neat and clean offices, warmed
by stove in winter, prompt atten-
ton night and day, characterize the
Star Livery Stables. MIR. Pickett
has now, in connection with bis
stables a nice glass enclosed hearse,
! as nice us can be bad in amy country
town, which he has ltted up SO that
our people may enjoy tile luxury O.
a decent burial. With these retlec
tious it must be seen tbat this insti
tuition is a public benefit, and de
serves the support OF the citizens.

Col. Snowden, who was superintendent of the
Philadelphia mint for many years, and who is
. recognized authority on coinage, says that ex-
ConRressmans Horr's declaration that there
are fifty million counterfeit silver dollars in cir
culation Is ridiculous. He says that il would
be impossible for outside parties to coin and
circulate imitation dollars in any considerable
amount without detection. The dollars could
not be minted without costly and elaborate ma
chinery OF special patterns. The old-fashioned
method of moulding is a very slow one and
the coins so made would be palpably inferior
10 those minted by machinery. Then. granting
that the coin could be made of standard metal
and in perfect imitation of that manufactured
by the government. how, asks Col. Snowden,
could 10 be made to circulate freely? With all
its appliances, the government has been able to
noat only fifty million silver dollars in seven
years. Evidently, cOunterfeiters could not du-
plicate this issue secretly and by paid agents.
Again. where and when was the necessary bull
lion purchased?
Col Snowden concludes that there are very
few counterfeit dollars in circulation; fewer. he
thinks, than at any previous time in the his
tory of the government. IT. looks, in short. as il
Mr.. Horr was INDUCING himself a little in that
propensity for joking for which the rotund en-
member from Michigan is so famous.

The House shows a praise-worthy aiacrity in
regard to the presidential succession bill. 1t
has already passed the committee. and has
been reported to the House without amend
ment. There Is some disposition among mem
bers to object to certain provisions of the bill,
but the prospect now is that 1t will be passed
substantially as IL came from the Senate. The
feature in the bill most criticised, perhaps, is
that which creates a cabinet interregnum till
the expiration of the full presidential term.
But the contingency is so remote that the OBJ
lection Is rather fanciful 1t Is altogether I'M
likely that both President and Vice President
will ever die at the beginning of the term, and
in case that any considerable portion of it has
elapsed before the two Offices were vacated, there
would be practically little difference in time
between the date of special called election and
the regular contest.
