License Law.
From Washington Pa. Observer

From Washington Pa Observer
The opinion of the Supreme Court,
constituting the Brooks license law,
puts beyond all cavil two questions
which were never really in doubt,
viz: That the Courts of Quarter Ses.
sions have practically ualimited
discretion, and that no person can de-
mand license as matter of right
As Judge Paxson says, 1.-The power
of the Quarter Sessions to use it's
discretion in granting licenses has
been upheld time and again" and it
is to be hoped that the pointed and
reiterated statement of this fact in
this opinion, will put stop to all
qdibbling on this question in the
future.
In the case which was before the
Court, no remonstrance had been FL
ed against the applicant and there.
fore his counsel contended that he
was entitled, as matter of right, to
license upon complying with the
provisions OF the act of 1887. But
Judge Paxson says "he has not such
absolute right. nor has any other
man in the Commonwealth" In q
license court. the applicant is not de-
manding justice; no is petitioning TO
be invested with = privilege that
shall distinguish him from the mass
Of bis fellow citizens as u person OF
such exceptional discretion and ideli-
ty that he may safely be trusted with
business which is not to be com.
mitted to ordinary hands.
This opinion also sustains our own
Court, both in it's reasoning and in
the conclusions reashed-not q sur.
prising fact but still one that is very
gratifying.

Day and Night in Sweden.

The peculisrities of day and night
in Sweden strike the traveller very
forcibly, otter being accustomed to
the temperate zones. In juno the
sun goes down in Stockholm little
before ten O'Clock. There is o great
illumination all night, as the sun
passes round the earth toward the
north pole; and the refraction of its
rays is such that you can see to read
at midnight without an artificial
light There is mountain at the
head of Bothnia, where, on the 2lst
of June, the sun does not appear to
20 down at all. The steamboat goes
up from Stockholm for the purpose of
conveying those who are curious to
witness the phenomenon. 1t
occurs only one night. Tho
you can see the whole face Of it, and
in five minutes more it begins to rise
At the North Cape, latitude seventy
two degrees, the sun does not 60
down for several weeks. In June it
would be about twenty-five degrees
above the horizon At midnight. In
the winter the sun disappears and is
not seen for weeks, then it comes and
remains for ten or fifteen, after which
it descends. and finally is not seen ut
oil, but makes circle round the hea-
vens. The Swedes are very indus
trious, and labor is reckoned by the
hour, twelve hours being reckoned
days work. Birds and animals take
their accustomed rest at the usual
hour. whether the sun goes down or
not.

Happy End of the "Baby Case"

In Court, on Monday afternoon
last there was . happy end of an un-
happy casa, known as the HARRISON
Monks baby csse," in which the hus-
band and father, Robert Harrison,
sought to take from his wife. who bad
left him, an infant child. This was
resisted by the father, brothers and
friends of the mother, the Monks peo-
pie. After long contest in Court
the end finally came BY the good sense
of the father, who appeared in Court
and discontinued all proceedings.
On bis petition being presented to
that effect to the Court, Judge Hazen
ordered the sheriff to bring the moth.
or and child from jail. where they,
with her brothers Martin and Will
liam Monks and Windle Hickey, had
been confined since Saturday last.
When the sheriff brought in the par
ties an order was made by the Court
discharging all of them. The only
condition required was that the moth
er should keep the child within tho
county until it was sevsn years of age.
This she gave boAd to do, with her
uncle, Mr.. Wesley Monks. IS security.
This being done the mother and her
friends were heartily congratulated,
and were soon after on their way to
their homes in Middlesex tp.
We need not add that this commu.
nifty experienced . great relief at this
ending of the case. All through the
contest the sympathy and feeling
were strongly with the mother, to
whom all thought the child rightfully
and naturally belonged. And the
determined bravery and resolution
with which she clung to it, with all a
mothers affection, excited the admira-
ton and sympathy of all. And now
that the case has ended 80 well, all
fell like congratUating all the parties
concerned, and join ia the hope ex-
pressed by the Court, that it may be
q long time before We may ever have
to witness similar case within our
