An Honor Divided is Pleasure
Doubled.


Had Judge Douglas retired from the
Bench with no other token of the
universal respect entertained for his
high character and admiration for his
brilliant talents, the following para
graphs, taken by the Hagerstown Null
from letter written by Hon. H. w.
Hoffman, would suffice:
was neither disappointed nor surprised
that our association upon the Bench was one
of unbroken cordially. These would have
arisen had the result been otherwise. After
more than seven years of close observation
and association with you and the many OPP
portunities thus afforded to properly esti-
mate your personal merit your professional
standing and ability and your high sense of
honor your accession to the Bench was to
me peculiarly gratifying and satisfactory.
Reviewing the seven months that have in
tervened | can recall no circumstance that
for single moment abated or marred the
pleasure which your appointment afforded
me.
Further, | have reason to know that your
and commentator Of bar and people, alike,
regardless of political complexion
The JOURNAL does not remember
having seen u tribute to personal
worth, in spite of political differences,
at once so elegantly generous and
happily expressed. 1t honors both
Judge Hoffman's heart and head.
Himself gentleman endowed with
the highest sense of the value of
good name and enjoying an aesthetic
discernment of the just, the true and
good, it is not at all a wonder that he
should yield the retiring jurist
graceful and hearty acknowledgment
of the genial intercourse which mark
ed both their social and judicial
fellowship.
We are glad to have reason to be-
lieve Judge Douglas estimates judge
Hoffman's testimonial as one of meal
culable value, and that he will treasure
the words so fifty spoken as apples of
gold"

An Almost Indefcnsible Act.

DR.. w. J. Craigen, county ply
sician, permitted his temper to get
away with his Judgment last Monday
when he cut the stitches of wound
he had sewed because his patient had
not the money to pay for the treat
ment.
There is no other way of accounting
for the act.
For no surgeon but one exasperated
by self-considered impositions upon
his time and skill would coolly take
the risks of such maltreatment.
The JOURNAL does not think, there
fore, that DR.. Craigen should be dealt
with as severely as recommended in
some quarters.
For he among you who is without
temper on occasion should not take
aim when he throws stones.

GREAT IRON OUTPUT.
Mr. Weeks Says the Furnaces Never
Turned Out So Much Pig Iron.

Mr. Weeks Says the Furnaces Never
Turned Out So Much Pig Iron.
Joseph d. Weeks went to Philadeiphia
last evening. He says the present produc-
tion of pig iron was never SO large IN the
history of the business, though the total
output for the year won't equal the amount
made in 1890. For the first six months OF TINS
year the production was behind 1890 tor tne
same period about 100000 tons. he
thinks the output for 1891 will reach 9,ooo,-
600 tons against 10000, 900 tor 1890. An,
other feature of the business is the reduced
number of furnaces, but the capacity OF
each has been greatly increased. He says
the prices of iron are so low that
the product is not expected to- get
cheaper, though there is tendency
in that direction. Mr. Weeks
collects iron, gas and petroleum statistics
for the Government. Last year the state
yield of oil was about 40 10000 barrels,
and for 1891 he figures that the production
will be $4,000, 900 barrels. Mr.. Weeks adds
that the use of petroleum for fuel purposes
is growing, and this will have a
tendency to increase the output
from year to year. He believes with
Prof Leslie in shifting oil pools, that as the
gas is drawn off petroleum and water pools
change their positions in the earth.
Commenting on the future he says the
next two years ought to be prosperous tor
the iron men. The Worlds Fair Will
create great deal of business and the rail-
roads will want iron to make extensions
and other Improvements.

Mr.. Scofield's Creditors,

From the jamestown, n. Y, Morning News.J
We are glad to know that the indomitable
energy of Carl w. Scofeld has been suffi-
cient to carry him over his temporary en-
barrassments, which at one time threatened
to overcome him, and we trust that he will
come out all right and reach the goal of his
ambitions. He is good deal of hustler,
and in his successful effort to prevent q
closing up of his affairs, under circum-
stances which were regarded as hopeless by
men of good nerve and judgment in bust
ness matters, has given him a standing in
the community which mere business sue
cesses could not have accomplished The
people like man who has the stuff in him
never to say die, and we congratulate Mr..
Scofeld on passing through the critical
test, and upon the leniency and good judg-
ment of his creditors. His affairs are in a
condition where he can get the best results
out of them, and in the interests of all this
is the best possible outcome. There is
large amount of property; almost the entire
interest is among oil men, who will feel an
interest in getting the best results out of it,
and with good feeling prevailing there is
every reason to hope that all the creditors
will be taken care of, and that Mr. Scofeld
will vet live to become a wealthy and a
contented man.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 1S.-This city last night
suffered one of the most disastrous fires in its
hi-.or,. THE buildings damaged were those
ofGriggs, Cooper & Co., wholesale groceries,
and Farwell, Kirk & Co, wholesale hard
ware. The total loss is estimated from
5000, 900 to 81, 100000 The losses are COW
cred by insurance. The block occupied by
the firm is brick and stone structure, five
stories in height, and has frontage on
Third street of 800 feet and on Broadway of
200 feet. Griggs Cooper & Co. occupy two
thirds of the building. The flames first
the fourth floor of Griggs, Cooper & Co. s
building. Within less than five minutes
the fire department was present in force
The burned block, which extended on the
south side Of Third street from the corner
of Wacoouta to within 80 feet of Rosabel,
belongs to d. c. Shepard. 1t was esti-
mated to be worth S29, 900. The losses ore
estimated as follows: Farwell, Oman &

ing what remained of the stock. No definite
information is obtainable as to the cause of
the fire, but it is thought to have originated
in the packing room on the fourth floor
The fire department was considerably handi-
capped by the weather, the mercury rang
ing around zero all night. Help was called
from Minneapolis while the fire was at its
height, and two engines from that city
rendered efficient service.

LAW MUST BE ENFORCED.
STATE INSTITUTIONS NOTIFIED TO
OBEY STATUTES

Governor Pattison to the Huntingdon Re-
formatory Managers-The Eight-Hour
Law, He Says, Applies to That Estab-
lishment and Must Be Followed.
HARRISBURG, Nov. 1S.-Recently Gov
ernor Psttison received complaints from
employees in the Huntingdon Reformatory
to the effect that the eight-hour law, relat-
ing to State institutions, was not complied
with in the Reformatory.
After investigating the matter the Gov
ernor has sent the following notification to
the authorities of the institution:
To the Board of Managers of the PENNSYLVANIA In
dustIi Il Reformatory, Huntingdon. Pa,
GENTLEMEN-Duringt the month of August
tain employees of the reformatory setting
forth that the provisions Of an act of the
General Assembly, entitled can act making
eight hours as a DAYS labor in penal institu-
tions under control of the State" approved
May 80 1891, had not been complied with by
the managers of said institution. A copy OF
this complaint was submitted toyour board,
and your answer thereto, together with a
supplementary petition and answer, have
been received and duly considered.
The legislative intent is piainly set forth
in the title of the act above cited, and this
intent is strengthened by the second section
all superintendents and officers over and all
persons authorized to make contracts for
and to employ persons for labor and serv-
ices or appoint under officers in, for and
around said penitentiaries and reformatory
institutions. mentioned in the first section
of this act are hereby forbidden and prohib-
tied. under the penalties mentioned in the
third section of this act from allowing or
compelling any of said employees or under
officers to give and serve any more than
eight out of each 2i hours in such service or
labor The third section thereof makes it
the duty of the Governor to execute and
carry out the foregoing section of this act,
and the fourth section thereof provides that
this act shall not be construed to have ref
erence to any institution wherein the en-
ployes are resident.
Without going into an extensive discus
sion of the several points raised by the COM
plaint and answer thereto 1 am clearly of
the opinion that the said act of Assembly
has reference and is applicable to the Penn
sylvania Industrial Reformatory, and it is
earnestly hoped that suitable arrangements
will be made by the board of managers
thereof, so that tie provisions of said act
NAV be carried into effect on the first day
of January next, and that thereafter eight
hours out of each "a hours shall constitute
days labor at said institution.
Very respectfully,
ROBERT Z. PATrIsoy.

AN ADDRESS TO THE VOTERS.

City Ofhcials Will Show Why the Debt
Should Be Increased.
Mayor Gourley is preparing an address to
the voters on the question of increasing the
bonded indebtedness of the municipality to
pay contractors for work under the street
acts laid low by the Supreme Court. The
time till the election, December 8, is get
ting short now, and in order to show the
necessity for supporting the increase so as
to secure its adoption the Mayor is writing
the address in language so plain that the
whole situation will be thoroughly under
stood by reading it.
Controller Morrow, City Attorney More
land and the chiefs of the departments are
assisting in the work. The document will
be completed to-day and ready for publica-
tion tomorrow morning. A number of
prominent men known to be interested in
the city's welfare have been invited by the
Mayor to review the address to-day and he
will use any suggestions they offer.

lies mighty nation of 65, 600, 900 of an En-
glish-speaking race, which is exerting every
day in the year at such close quarters a
tremendous attractive force, what is certain

course that the lesser nation will be drawn
more and more closely to the greater until
the two form one, just as our earth and the
other planets are even tending to be drawn
into ultimate union with the sun.
Are there counteracting forces then?
What are they, and what estimate may
reasonably be placed on their powers of re-
sistance? Clearly there are such forces OF
some sort or other or fusion would, already
have taken place. What are they, and
what their power? To discuss these ques-
tions is beyond the present purpose. There
is growing conviction, however, in the
minds of many that these forces, no two OF

rection, will not long be able to Withstand
the enormous concentrated attraction ex-
erted by the Republic of the United States
