The Haytlen Sqnabble.

mendable vigor in the matter Of the seiz.
ure of the American steamer Haytien

Legitime faction, who happened at the
time to be on top In the everlasting Hay
tien struggle, should endeavor to seiza a
vessel engaged In transporting arms and
troops to their enemies, and that Is Just
the reason why they should be sharply
I taught the difference between the vessels
Of an enemy and Of foreign friendly
power. The struggles Of faction are 30
nerce In Hayti, and the changes of govern
nsnt 90 frequent, that unless the protec.
tion Of our flag is enforced, our ships can
not be safe In those waters. No captain
can tell certainly whether his passengers
are troops or not, and 1t is not a
part Of his business to inquire into the
ultimate destination OF his cargo and
passengers, even II he knows they are
designed for war. This steamer is said
% have been seized when bound for
another land, but even If she was sailing
direct for Port au Prince with the avowed
object of landing troops and war material
Hsyti would have had no right to seize
her, as she has done, without notice of
blockade, and TO maltreat passengers and
crew. She might do oaDythingwith the cargo
when landed or even prevent landing.
Il is rumored that the vessel has already
been released, but il not she certainly Will
be as soon as the decision OF our secretary
OF state is known there, and our little |

one-third the size of the Chicago. She is

"a Lhe members OF the Berks county bar
\ sneks very serious charges against the
jedses Of their court. They allege that
<oAsy violate the law by appointing rela.
eivee to places Of profit and that generally

Ssvon members Of the bar was appointed
~ it TO secure redress from the judges,
e Uho declined to meet them. Thereupon
~ Of them boldly reported these charges

I'm but three dissenting voices.
We will have to assume that the charges

! bers Of the committee that formulated
Them would not otherwise have made
them they arc not men to set any thing
1ovn in malice, or to permit prejudice or
I unsoion to overcome their Judgment. And
nav have done . bold thing which moth.
ing but the clear truth will Justify. Ills
NOT easy to get lawyers to assail their
Judges. They have too much power to
do them Injury.
It is . sorrowful thing that this
& Indictment Of the Berks judges should
beealled for. Judge Hagenman has always
been better politician than Judge, and
= . sample of the class of men whom our
popular system of e)ecting judges puts
upon the bench. They achieve their
p0eitions by their partisan skill, and can.
not help exhibiting partisanship and
1Artiality on the bench nature and
education alike lead them to 1t. The
Judicial character cannot abide in the
partisan and judges cannot pro6tably be
taken from among working politicians
but they probably always will be, and we
must be content with such justice as we
can get from them.
Berks county suffers, as Lancaster
county does, from too great preponder-
ance Of one political party. All its
officers are elected By the nominating
convention Of one party, and there is no
election by the people. The skillful
politician elects himself by getting
his friends chosen 10 the nominating
convention, and combining forces with
other candidates to put through their
state; and the job is done about as readily
when the nominating is done at primary
elections as In convention. The Derks
Judges are not bad judges under
the circumstances. They are not
corrupt or malicious. The charges
Of favoritism brought against them, we
fear, would be as well brought against
many, and perhaps, majority, Of our
Judges, who, as we have said, are neces.
sarily and constitutionally partisan. Per-
haps few of them are so indiscreet as to
violate the law prohibiting the appoint
ment of relatives to Office; but favor to
relatives is no worse than favor to parti.

impartiality as well as high ability; and
ought to have it; but 1t asks good deal
more, we fear, than our system of choos.

The Ladies' FavOrite.

The newest fashion in ladies'hats will
doubtless cause flutter of pleasurable
excitement among the fair sex. Ladies
are always susceptible to the changes Of
a fashion plate and the more startling
the departure, the more earnest the gos-
sip over the new mode. DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is positive cure
for the ills which afflict females and
make their lives miserable. The sover-
eign panacea can be relied on in cases
OF displacements and all functional de-
rangements. 1t builds up the poor,
haggard and dragged-out victim, and
gives her renewed hope and a fresh
lease OF life. 1t is the only medicine for
woman's peculiar weaknesses and all
ments, sold by druggists, under a posi-.
tive guarantee from the manufacturers,
that it will give satisfaction in every
case, or money refunded. Read printed
