ARBEITER BUND CASE.
Judge Tuley Scored by the Prosecute
ing Attorney.
A sTINGING REBUKE GIVEN
Tho Judges unoomplimentary Reference
to the PoIice-Pcwderly Replys to the
Recent Circular Issued to the
Knights of Labcr.

CHICAGO, Jan. 8.-A sensation attend
ed the arguments before Judge Tuley,
on the motion of tie ArDeiter Bund for
an injunction against the police, the
case being res umed frora last Saturday.
The cause of the sensation was the UNI
usual language INDUCED in by Assistant
Corporation Counsel Knight at the close
of his argument. Judge Tuley had been
asking some questions that seemed to in
dictate that he rather favored giving the
anarchists a chance, in which he made
n or two uncomplimentary references
to the police. Finally Mr.. Knight got
nettled, and he made a speech that was
powerful, but was extremely bold and
Incorporate, in which he caationed
Judge Tuley that If he did not take
care he would usurp powers not con
ferred by law, and would put himself in
the position Of establishing a mischiev-
II precedent for the future "Cardoza.'
Judge Tuley replied with a singing re-
buke Of the young lawyer, and said he
would take care not to usurp any func-
ton not conferred on him by the law,
and in conclusion said: sit may be that
it is much more important that free
speech and the right Of peaceful assem-
bly, shall not be trampled in the dust,
than that the police force should be per-
Ietuated in power which appears to be
extreme and autocratic." The court then
adjourned until morning, when the ar
euinent will be resumed.
Hearing of tho arguments in the in
junction proceeding of the Arbeiter Bund
against the city was resumed by Judge
Tnley. NJ. Kraft, for the Arbeiter Bund,
began by reviewing the masters report.
In the Of his speech he said: 1--WE
don't want an injunction to prevent the
police from interfering with unlawful
meetings. We only want redress from
interference with lawful meetings.

A PRESIDENTIAL EMERGENCY.

One of the things we are never likely to
know is the subject of General Harrison's
dreams last night and this morning. 1t
would be interesting to know the general
plot of his unconscious cerebration as the
most perfect railroad car in existence carries
him speedily on to the Capital of the ma
ton he has been chosen to lead. We are
presumlng that he will dream. The OBJ
servation of many travellers has been that
nothing under the sun, or more appropri-
ately, the moon, is so conducive to ex-
citing and sensational travels in dream
land as the rock bound pillow
and adamantine couch in sleeper. Perhaps
the bed of the President-elect will not
partake of these popular characteristics;
perhaps the mattress will be soft and level
plain devoid of mountain scenery, and the
pillow as soft and yielding as an ofice-seeker
is not. We hope that it will be so.
But if the President-elect meets night
mare after his eyelids close, if he imagines
for instance that all the unsuccessful candi-
dates for the Cabinet are entwining each
his prehensile finger in the Presidential
button-hole, if he wakes up with a blood
shot eve, a parched mouth and feverish
fire in his department of the interior, it is
to be hoped that someone will have the
presence of mind to summon one of the
travellers in the beautiful car 'Iolanthe. 4"
Among the select coterie of newspaper cor
respondents in that car surely the material
and the maker of cocktail can be found.

ESTIMATES AND APPROPRIATIONS.

The statement made public yesterday
that the receipts of the City Treasury fol
1888 fell about S159, 900 below the estimates,
hardly seems to have the significance which
is attached to it in some quarters. The fall
ing off is not difficult to explain. Two lead
ing items in the published statement more
than cover it.
The receipts from liquor licenses were
$55, 900 below the estimate, which loss the
city can well afford to pocket, in view of
improved condition of affairs in connec-
tion with the retail liquor trade; while
the fact that receipts for city taxes are
nearly S17O,0 less than the estimates in
dicates an accumulation of delinquent
taxes which instead of being deficit to be
made up by taxation will be source of re-
venue in the next two years. The drift i'll
this direction is shown by the fact that the
payments of outstanding taxes last year
went 100000 in excess of the receipts.
When the changes in these three itemsare bal
anced, it will be seen that the deficiency be-
low the estimates is more than accounted
for.
1t is not very accurate reasoning which
can make this showing the excuse for larger
appropriations and an increased tax levy.
If the deficiency were anything serious, it
would rather indicate the need of greater
economy in appropriations to meet the ext
gency of decreasing revenues. But the fact
is that it is not serious. The city can well
afford to pay the taxes necessary for doing
the public business well; and it did so last
year. The public is well advised of the
fact that the appropriations of 1888 were
made on very liberal scale, and it will not
expect them to be enlarged.
Councils will do their duty in revising
the appropriations OF last year by cutting
them down wherever experience has shown
that they are profuse and by levying the tax
necessary to meet that requirement. If
that is done, twelve-mill levy will proba-
bly, be found sufficient and we doubt if
eleven-mills would not prove adequate for
the necessities of economical government.

WRITES WITH HIS TAIL.
How Bolivar is Preparing for m Ele-
phantine SIugging Match.

From the Philadelphia Record.1
Bolivar, the big elephant. at the Geological
Garden which, on Sunday last, was treated to
coat of cement by his two female com.
panions, Empress and Jenny, has not yet had a
chance for revenge, but Keeper Pendergast
says he is laying a deep scheme, and is making
all the preliminary arrangements for terrible
one. Ever since his plastering he has been
su1len, and apparently in deep thought. Every
movement on the part of his companions has
been closely watched by him. On the wall
along side of him. which he coated with cement
while trying to clean the stuff from his back
before it became wet, he has been writing all
the week. He stands with his back to the
wall. and with his tail makes a certain number
of Hindoo words every day.
After completing his penmanship he draws
the attention of his companions and with his
trunk points to the Inscriptions. The keeper
says it is the handwriting on the wall and is a
warning to Empress and Jenny to prepare for
their fate All the hair on the end of his tail
has been worn off in writing the warnings, and
Headkeeper Byrne says he certainly means it
as warning to his companions Empress and
Jenny have been chained all the week for the
contemplate trick they played on Bolivar, and
now they are enemies because Bolivar shows
an inclination toward Empress. The enlarge
ment of the elephant cage has been completed,
and as soon as the plaster is dry they will ali
be unclaimed and have plenty of room for the
slugging match which the keeper expects will
take place.

PITTsBURG, TUESDAY, FEB. 2s, 1889.
MENDING A TOUGH OLD LAW.

At Harrisburg to-day the newspaper pub
fishers of Pennsylvania hold an annual re-
union, at which, among other things, they
will consider Mr.. Fow's proposed new law
of libel for this State. So often have the
peculiar hardships of the existing law been
described to the public that it would be
waste of time to go over them again in this
connection. The worst feature, because
without a parallel in criminal jurispru-
dence, is that publishers are liable to GRIM
inal prosecution, even where they not only
have no personal knowledge before hand of
the commission of the libel, but even though
the ofense be done against their express in
structions.
There may be said to be three classes of
possible Iibels: the accidental, the mali
cious, and the mercantile. The first is
where, through negligence on the part of
writers for the press. some one is Hbeled.
Here there is no good reason for departing
from the usual rule holding employers re-
sponsible for the acts of their employees: but
it is hard to presume malice where none ac-
tuslly existed. In any event it is out of
all reason in severity to pursue publisher
criminally for an act of an employe, who in
nine cases out of ten sins against instruc-
tions when he pens a libel. As for the libel
done in malice, or Hbels written reckless
ly to make papers sell, we do not think any
honest, right-minded publisher wants to
abate one iota of the severity of the law
against them. But there is broad distinc-
ton between the latter and those which may
be classed as accidental, so far as the pub
Usher is concerned.
There is another amendment agitated in
some quarters, one against lawyers who
take libel suits of the first mentioned sort
on contingent fees. As matter of fact,
just as there are newspapers which will
never willfully or knowingly publish
libel, meaning thereby that which is
false, malicious, untrue or reckless, or
wantonly designed to injure character, so
there are lawyers who will not prosecute
accidental libels unless reasonable repara-
tion is first refused. This class is growing.
1t is to be doubted whether the Legislature
will discriminate between contingent fees in
libel and contingent fees in other cases, but
it is to be presumed that the Legislature
will pass Just and reasonable law on the
whole subject.
Nowhere are newspapers, as a rule,
conducted with more conservative regard
for the rights of private citizens than in
Piftsburg, yet here, as in other places, the
need for judicious amendment of the libel
law is felt. The Pittsburg delegation in
to-day's convention, of which Mr.. Byram is
Chairman, can no doubt contribute some
interesting experiences on the subject.

KNIVES MAY COME OUT.

Mr.. bravo expresses his doubt whether
Quay and Rutan are at odds so much as
has been intimated, as will be seen by an
interview published in another column.
This is not inconsistent with the report
given by THE DIsPATCH's Harrisburg
correspondent, which indicated that the
fight was not that of Quay against Rutan,
but that of Delamater, Andrews and Boyer
against the Allegheny Senator. Putting
the two reports together it is quite possible
to develop theory that the tacital Matthew
Stanley is keeping his hands off for the ex-
press purpose of letting his rather bump
tious lieutenants make their own record,
with an indefinite prescience that the record
will not be one of triumph. 1t appears, at
all events, to be developing into a very
pretty fight, with possibilities that the con-
testants do not foresee. There is a suspicion
of cold steel in the political atmosphere
that is highly interesting to the outsiders.

THE GROWTH OF NEWSPAPERS.

Our evening neighbor, the Press, puts
THE DISPATCH under obligations by re-
minding il that the claim of this journal to
f'double the circulation of any paper out
side of PHILADELPHIA" is no longer tenable
since the recent growth of our one-cent CO.
temporaries, to which class our nelghbor be-
longs. Coming at a time when THE DIS
PATCH circulation is at its largest, this sug-
gestion can be accepted not only with ex-
cellent grace, but with perfect good humor.
1t is true that penny papers were not con-
templated, or even in existence, when the
statement was framed; but it is equally true
that it has been all the time subject to with
drawal or the necessary modification on the
presentation of authenticated figures from
any source to the contrary. 1t is only
within the year ending next April that such
figures have been offered from our esteemed
young neighhars, the Press and Times; and
the evidence from those quarters would have
been cheerfully recognized before now but
for the good and sufficient reason that it
was necessary to see whether the growth of
these new, and in no sense competitive, as
pirants to-public favor had staying quail
ties before taking them into account as
factors in any sort of comparison with their
older established and higher priced CO.
temporaries, whose circulation has in every
instance proved steady, regular and perma-
nent.
However, its one-cent cotemporaries have
fourished; and The DISPATCH can say
without the slightest afectation. that it is
sincerely glad of it. While they have been
making new fields for themselves, getting
thousands to read who did not read pre-
viously, The DISPATCH has also during
the same period added thousands to those it
had before; and similar growth, differing
perhaps only in degree, has no doubt been
the experience of all the older city journals.
Under the circumstances we can we'll say:
''May they all live long and prosper!'
In place, therefore, of the comparison
whick seems to touch somewhat the sus-
capabilities of our young cotemporaries as
to whom 1t was not originally meant, The
DISPATCH gives at the head of its columns
the exact figures of its own circulation, un-
precedented in its history. They show for
lne oallg eulIlon an average per issue, lol
the six months ending February i, 1889, of
over q, 900, and an averag: for the Sunday
issue during February of over $1,000. The
latter does not include extras on two
issues sent to agents to meet the special de-
mand for the opening of Joaquin Miller's
story, the accounts of sales for which are
not yet fully in; but represents the actual
orders for the average special edition before
going to press and the supplemental news
boys sales. The figures for the daily are
verified under oath, as required by law, in
the City Controllers Office; those for the
