quently changed ut the ballot-box do
not popularity gain. The chief justice
is the presiding officer, having no
greater voice than each OF his asso-
ciates in the determination OF causes,
and writing only such opinions as may
all to his lot In the popular mind
the post OF chief justice is looked upon
as one OF surprising honor, IL view
which has been confirmed less by the
learning and integrity of the incum-
bents than by the great length OF the
service of two of the most illustrious of
them, Marshall and fancy. Presi-
cents came and disappeared, even a
generation passed away, and these
men were still at their post.
But the law disperses this tribunal,
sending each member upon certain
established circuit. and. like the rest,
the chief justice takes his assignment.
He sits in Chicago as a matter OF per-
sonal arrangement with Mr.. Justice
Harlan, to whom this circuit. which in
cludes Illinois. Indiana, and Wisconsin,
is duly assigned. The court, not the
chief justice, makes these assignments.
Each takes the business properly COM
ing before him upon the circuit. The
case may be of very ordinary charac-
ter. We find the chief justice deter
mining whether the bail OF a petty
postoffi ce thief shall be s., 900 or 81 800,
and denying a prayer that certain con-
tractors on a creek shall be prevented
from going on with their work. An
examining magistrate could have de-
cided the first question quite as well as
the chief justice OF the United States,
and the determination of the other case
would have rested with Cook county
circuit court Judge but for the fact that
he insisted on notice to the other side,
a position which the chief justice also
insisted upon.
The plan Of creating United States
circuit judges was prompted, like the
creation of the state appellate courts,
by desire to relieve the Supreme
court of some of its burdens. In its own
business the Supreme court of the
United States is between two and three
years in arrears. Why sAould not the
peripatetic feature Of the work of the
justices be dispensed with and added
time be gained for sittings at Wash
ington? There would then be avoid
ance OF the spectacle OF one justice hav-
ing his face slapped in California and
another looking into the proceedings of
a commissioners court in Chicago

1Mnrkinp Girls, Maresv

A subject which is very important to
the working girls OF America is
wages. 1t is subject we, as an en-
lightened nation, should be ashamed of.
just TO think of the treatment our.
working girls" get is to think of them,
as little more than slaves.
While our men are getting from Sl.50
to $500 per day, our working girls
get about 81 to 81 per week.
Yet our girls never pine but pull
steadily through u life OF tears and toll,
as a general thing they lead an honest
life, to keep from begging or going to
institutions for poor, they would work
for what they could eat, and wear al
most nothing. But the men will go.
Yes; il they can't get wages, they will
beg, steal. or go through n number of
dishonest proceedings until at last they
reach the Jail or poor house where the
community is taxed TO keep them; for
such a work-house should be provided.
Great amounts of money are raised for
foreign missions, while those foreign
ers to whom we send money arc as able
to look after their welfare as we are; If
that money could be spent at home
among the working classes our people
could see the benefit of their labors.
Again, let me say a girl who works is
not expected to have any leisure or en-
joyment, thy are put 10 work like a
brute, and are expected to do enough
in one day for three. They scarcely
earn enough to buy decent dress; but
what good does a dress do them. that
is fit to be seen in company. Work!
work! from day in until day out, and if
they speak of wishing to go anywhere,
their mistresses say don't kick out of
the harness, you are working girl,
you can't expect better
What must be the patience and en-
durance of such girls? Are they not
heroes?
Yet there is not enough said or writ
ten on this state of affairs with the
working girls so as to make it plain to
the public?
wish here to make a few remarks
about what little l have stated. OF
course there are exceptions to all SUBJ
jects as there is to this one; what have
said does not apply TO all cases but to
the general field of workers. AS a
closing word, would say; treat the
working class in every degree with as
much respect as you wish to be treated
and you will not only gain honor but
friends indeed in prosperity as we'll as
in need.-Emma j. Berry, in Milwau.

A New York pastor, who, though a

Score for Bessie.

Bessie, five years old, was not very
fond of her lessons. One day being
very inattentive during recitation, her
governess, to punish her, gave her a
little task to do for the next day. In
the evening she said to the little girl;
swell, Bessie, did you study your les
son we'll for tomorrow" and was az
swered very reproachfully: why,
don't you know that Jesus said, Don't
take care of tomorrow
The same little tot, when being
gently reproved for splitting some milk
she was in the act OF drinking, said in
an injured tone OF voice:
'But, mamma, can't help IL, my
mouth lcaksl"-New York World.

EACH year the chronicler of events is
called upon to make record Of some dis
aster, plague or epidemic that has visited
some part Of our own country. In 1885
the country in the vicinity Of Charleston,
S. o., and Savannah, Ga, was terribly
shaken up by earthquakes resulting in
great loss of life and property. In 1887
the drought visited nearly every northern
State, and great was the destruction OF
property by fires. In 1888 the New En-
land States and portions Of New York and
New Jersey were visited with violent
snow storm, and the southern portion o.
our country was visited with the yellow
fever And now the first disaster of i'm
portance for 1889 is reported to have oc
cured at Johnstown, Pa. The above, i

Justification for unbelief now to those VIII o
believe before.
The Conemaugh disaster proves nothing
one way or the other in regardto an over
ruling Providence, so far as any man can
now see. 1t may have been merciful
dispensation, the purpose Of which is now
hidden from human eyes. 1t is as easy for
believers, except the sorely afflicted, whose
minds are more or less unbalanced, to see
in the Johnstown horror the manifestation
Of Omnipotent loving kindness as in many
of the events so ascribed in biblical his
tory, and which believers have accepted
without question.
Perhaps the nation, sweeping on In a
tide of magnificent growth and prosperity
needed an impressive warning. Why
need believer question that in view OF
what is related in the Bible9 Because
the human mind is weak and Ignorant at
its best, unable 10 safely withstand more
than limited strain, or to philosophize
when in anguish, is that any reason for
rejecting the faith of years in the existence
of mind supreme, God as loving now
as when he gave his Son to redeem the
worldG Manifestly not.
The minds of those who saw and sur
vived the frightful occurrences in the Con-
emaugh Valley, and many others, doubt
less, are appalled, at the aggregate Of loss
and suffering taken in at one view. Bu
it stands 10 the whole country no more
than the loss Of husband, wife, or child L
one family, and single deaths, by whatever
means, have rarely unsettled the founda
tions of faith.
The plan of creation and Divine govern
ment is on scale that the greatest human
intellect could never comprehend; ant
this explains why we are often baffled ant
sometimes in doubt as to the details o
that plan allotted to US to see and feel
Leader.
