From the Rutland Herald
Facts continue to come to the front
which are dscreditable to Lamar, especial
Il for a Justice Of the Supreme Court At
jackson, Miss, while the court was in SEES
sion he jumped over the bar railing and
knocked down the United States marshal
In the House of Representatives at Wash
ington, i'll 1877, he took offense at the
words of fellow Democrat who was
drunk and according to the New York
Herall's report except for the intervention
of friends would undoubtedly have shot
him In the United States Senate in 1879
he INDUCED in a personal quarrel with Sen
ator Conkling in which the epithets BLACK
guard and liar We're exchanged, and La
mar was silly enough to attempt to provoke
Conkling to send a challenge for duel, by
saying that the words he Q.amar) had used
were "such as no good man deserves and
no brave man would bear
From the Boston Evening Record
Since he has been in the interior depart
ment, Mr.. Lamar always sided with the
railroad corporations against the people
This has been understood and appreciated
from the very beginning. Mr. Lamar now
has his reward. Two representatives of
the Central Pacific Railroad, Stewart of
Nevada and Stanford of California by vot-
ing with the Democrats yesterday, secured
his confirmation as justice of the supreme
court The Central Pacific Railroad is
likely to have some important matters af-
fecting its relations with the government
up before the supreme court, aud it may be
sure now that it has a strong ally on that
bench. Nevertheless, it remains fact
Just the same that Mr. Lamar does not
know law enough to be ON the supreme
bench of the United States, and he has got
there simply as the result of the President S
personal kindness, the solidity of the demo-
cratic senators and the two representatives
of the Central Pacific Railroad. But he
may do better than many people expect
and The Record sincerely hopes that he
will
Facts like those above given are not
pleasant ones to contemplate in connection
with an appointment to the Supreme Bench
of the United States. In making this APP
pointment Mr.. Cleveland simply showed the
same lack of appreciation of the divine
| fitness of things, and his lack of sympa-
thy with the true spirit of our times, that
he showed in his order to return the rebel
battle flags, or when the stars and stripes
were lONeIeu 10 ildll -HldsJ Oh tle uedln OF
the ex-rebel Thompson. But the fight is
over Mr.. Lamar has been confirmed, and
now all good citizens will Join with the
Record, as above quoted, in the hope that
Mr.. Lamar has learned something from the
outspoken criticisms of his opponents, and
that he will show himself an able, impartial
and self contained member of our highest
| Judicial tribunal.

most of the details before even drawing a
plan When he had the idea well developed
he told an old German who made models for
him TO make machine after a certain pattern.
The inventor didn't hint what he wanted it
for, but occasionally sent an order for a
change or alteration to be made without even
looking at the model. Finally the German
took the machine to Mr.. Edison, who fitted a
bit of tinfoil into it, turned the crank, and
spoke into the funnel the words of that IA
nous poem beginning ''Mary had little
lamb" The German looked on as though
he thought the inventor had gone crazy
Then Mr.. Edison reversed the crank, and, in
that queer, piping voice now SO familiar, the
machine repeated the lines. 'sMein Gott !'
said the German, throwing up his hands.
''Mein Gott it talks !'
A bill which might well become law is
that introduced by Congressman Struble,
which provides that after March 4, 1899, the
mileage to be paid members of the two houses
of Congress shall be ten cents mile going to
and returning to their respective residences
at Washington by the most direct and prac
ticable route. The present rate allowed is
twenty cents per mile each way. Mr.. Struble's
bill, therefore, would simply cut down the
allowance one-half. Still ten cents a mile
would be enough. The aggregate amount
paid Senators for mileage now is about
$33. 900 per annum and TO representatives
S11O,624. The bill would save to the treas
ury $71 ,912. The distance between WASH
ington and Chicago is 921 miles and the rail-
road fare is but $19 so, and sometimes less.
For travelling that distance the Congressional
mileage is $194.2O, while the allowance to the
army officer is but 500. .34.

level. It lies near an elbow in the main
range, while gorge runs up from the north
east Just to the west of it. When then the
northeast monsoon blows morning mist up
the valley light wreaths of condensed Vapor
pass to the west of the peak and catch the
shadows at sunrise. The party reached the
summit on the night of the 21st of Februa-
ry. 1886, amid rain mist and wind. Early
next morning the foreglow began to brighten
the under surface of the stratus cloud with
orange; patches of white mist filled the hol-
lows; and sometimes masses of mist, coming
from the valley, enveloped them with con-
denssd vapor. At half-pas six in the morn
ing the sun peeped through a chink in the
clouds and they saw the pointed shadow of
the peak lying on the misty land. Soon
complete prismatic circle of about eight de-
grees diameter, with the red outside, formed
round the summit of the peak as a center.
The 1aeteorologist, knowing that with this
bow there ought to be spectral figures, waved
his arms about, and Immediately found giant
shadowy arms moving in the center of the
rainbow. Two dark rays shot upward and
outward on either side of the center and ap-
peared to be nearly in a prolongation of the
lines of the slope of the peak below. Three
times within quarter of an hour this ap-
pearance was repeated as mist drove up in
proper quantities, and ftful glimpses of the
sun gave sufficient light to throw a shadow
and form circular rainbow In every case
the shadow and bow were seen in front of
land and never against the sky. When the
sun rose pretty high the characteristic peeu-
liarity of the shadow was beautifully OBJ
served. As thin wreath of condensed va
por came up the valley at proper height a
resplendent bow formed round the shadow,
while both seemed to stand up majesticaily
in front of the observers. and then the shad-
ow fell down on to the land and the bow
vanished as the mist passed on. About an
hour later the sun again shone out, but much
higher and stronger than before, and then
they saw brighter and sharper shadow of
the peak, this time encircled by double
bow; and their own spectral arms were again
visible

HIGH LICENSE IN NPHILADELPHIA.
When the high license law of Pennsylvania
was enacted the prediction was made that it
would do much toward lessening the evils of
the rum traffic in Philadelphia. But the
most ardent advocates of the law did not
venture to think that it would work as effeetu-
ally as it has The law is stringent enc,
and, as applied to Philadelphia, not only
fixes high price, $500, for a license, but re-
quires two sureties in the sum of 81, 600 each
for the good behavior of a saloon keeper, and
gives to the judges absolute discretion in de-
termining the necessity for saloon in any
locality. They can also pass upon the char
acter of an application for saloon license, and
reject him for what seems to them good rea-
sons, such as former violations of the law by
selling on Sunday, keeping disorderly place,
being of Incorporate habits, never having
been naturalized, having billiard or pool
tables in connection with his saloon, beating
his wife, and, in short, doing anything out
of the way that may be brought to the atten-
ton of the judges. The law has been en-
forced without fear or favor by the judges,
and the result is surprising. Out OF seven
nunureQ anu bW6uty-SoFSn dpplACdt1oIS
passed upon so far, only three hundred and
thirty-fve, or forty six per cent, have been
granted. Among those whose applications
have been refused are prominent politicians,
both Republicans and Democrats, council
men, and men of considerable influence who
never dreamed of such thing as their ap-
plications being rejected. In granting the
licenses the judges have given the preference
| to applicants who owned their saloons, and
thus had the interest of a property holder in
keeping them respectable.
1t is now believed that there will not be
| over two thousand saloons and hotel bars in
Philadelphia after June next as against six
Thousand now. In one ward, the fourth,
| there will be but thirty-three saloons this
year against two hundred and thirteen last
year. In the sixth ward there will be but
sixty-six against two hundred and forty
| seven The good citizens of Philadelphia
| are very much pleased with the outlook, and
| they think that with the saloon keeper less
frequent and influential there may be puri-
| fcation of politics which has long been
needed. OF course those who want to sell
rum and cannot will not be pleased, but
their displeasure can be comfortably borne.
