HA Did Rirht-

Judge Van Brunt of the New York bench,
says the Continent, though q bluff and, as
sometimes said, gruf man, is nevertheless
full Of a sense Of humor and of natural justice.
His blunt manner and forcible speech on the
bench sometimes create CONSERVATION in the
minds OF ttmid lawyers, and especially of
youngsters whose lack of experience makes
them somewhat diffident. But Van Brunt ap-
preciates pluck when properly displayed The
story is told Of fiedgeling at the bar who was
called upon 70 oppose motion made before
this judge. His opponent was q cleverer de.
batter, and apparently presented all sides of the
question so well that the judge was inclined to
give him the desired relief, and when the young
man arose TO reply to his learned brother" the
judge told MIN ne did not care to hear him.
but" said the young lawyer, II desire to be
heard in opposition to this motion"
This question before me is very plain, +" said
the judge, and decline to hear you" This
with an emphasis and significant look that
would have deferred most men from presuming
to insist further. Not so the youngster With
face little pale, but with compressed lips and
Denomination to do or go to Jail, he replied,
respectfully, but firmly:
II your honor please, do not care whether
you have made up your mind on the merits of
this application or not. 1t is my right to be
heard and l insist upon the exercise Of my
right"
The judge looked at him a moment in sur
prise, and then said: Proceed. SIR
He made his argument, stated his opposition
TO the motion clearly, showed some errors in his
opponents reasoning, and closed with the sat
| isfaction of seeing the judge an attentive
| listener. in due course Of time a decision was
handed down in his favor, much to his astonish-
ment under the circumstances.
Shortly thereafter, while walking along
Broadway, he came face to face with Van
| Brunt. Rather expecting to be met with q
| frown, he was surprised to be greeted with a
smile, and the judge putting his hand on his
| shoulder, said: You did right. my boy Never
| allow yourself to be bulldozed by the bench"

The Mayor ia All Plight

| In his remarks in the city council o n
Wednesday night Mayor McDonough said
that it vas his duty to enforce the ordi-
nances, not 10 make them. He had enforced
all the provisions Of the Sunday closing
ordinances, he said, because it was law of
the city. and he declared that lie would
enforce whatever ordinances the council
passed.
The position the mayor takes is the right
one. It is lis duty to see that the ordi-
nances are enforced, and since he has been
mayor he has done this duty in a highly
satisfactory manner. There were those
who were inclined to criticise him for en-
forcing all the provisions of the Sunday
closing ordinance, but he could not consci-
entiously have done otherwise than he did.
If he had made determinations he would
have failed to give satisfaction to anybody; ;
besides, he would not have been justified in
enforcing the law against one class Of
offenders and suspendipg it as to anotler.
The ma yor's course has resulted Ia a
repeal Of the old Sunday observance
ordinance and the enactment of an ordi-
nance that strikes at that evil alone against
which there is a strong public sentiment
The mayor can be depended upon to en-
force this ordinance strictly, and if public
sentiment arrays itself against other Sun
day evils the council. doubtless, will under
take to provide remedy for them.
In attacking the one great Sunday evil
the one against which there has been a
great outcry for years-and abandoning
the minor ones for the time beng, the eoun-
Gil has acted wisely. A strictly enforced
ordinance against open barrooms on Sun
day will Insure quiet Sundays and bring
much comfort into the homes of many
worklngmen. A great step in the direc-
ton Of order and morality has teen taken,
and that this step has been taken is due to
Mayor McDonough. He has shown that he
intends to enforce the ordinances. II the
ordinances are not just what are needed
they must be amended, and the council. in
amending them, is disposed to be guided
by public sentiment.

Tho Judge Smiled at Last.

Moro practical jokes and. indeed, jokes of all
sorts are attributed to Gen. Pearson, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch, than any other Pittsburger
alive to-day. Sons Of them happened so long
ago that it is almost cruel joke upon the gen.
ersl to tell them again. But one that was told
in a gathering Of lawyers the other day may be
related here IL for no other reason than to show
how Rearly the propensity for extracting fun
out Of everything developed itself in the gen.
eFal.
Judge Brown, who was the last lay Judge
elected in the Allegheny county courts was, &C
cording to tradition, a very austere man and
extremely economical in the distribution OF
smiles; in fact, It WAS said that he was perfect
prohibitionist and never smiled. Mr.. Pearson,
who had then but recently been called to the
bar, was not exactly in sympathy with Judge
Brown One day he entered Judge Browns
court and went to the water cooler, which was
back Of and above the jury box.
A bald juryman was sitting Immediately
under the water cooler, plaoidly snoozing. The
court was charging the jury. Mr., Pearson took
drink of water, and then, observing the bald
head below him, deliberately left the water
running. The stream struck the center Of the
shining Uranium, aud its owner jumped three
feet into the air. It was instantaneous and in
tensely ridiculous. Judge Brown smiled, and
then actually laughed The scsne was I'M
precedented and II is related by veracious eye
witnesses that one OF the tipstaves tainted.
