PARTS ANsHIP AND THE JUDICIARY

1t is interesting, though not exactly en-
couraging, TO observe that the revolt
against a non-partisan judiciary in this
county is reduplicated in Dauphin county
with some variations on the other side of
the house Some time ago The DISPATCH
noted that the Republican convention in
Dauphin, recognizing Judge Simonton's
eminent abilities, declined to make nom-
ination and called for his reelection with
out regard to party lines. This action was
Endorsed by the leading Democrats prac-
ticing before the Court
But the Democrats of Dauphin are so
much in love with the idea of partisan
judiciary that they could not permit this.
They have therefore put in nomination
another Democrat whose legal qualifica-
tions are well spoken OF, but who has by
no means the eminence of Judge Simon
ton for ability, integrity and judicial ex-
perience. This is a matter in which the
entire Commonwealth is interested, as
some of the most important State cases
are begun in the Dauphin county court;
but, of course, the people of that county
will have to settle it.
The case looks slightly more serious
than the paradOxical outbreak of indie
pendence in favor of partisanship in this
county. 1t has the advantage of regu-
lar party nomination, while, by the action
of the Republican convention, there was
no regular nomination for Judge Simon
ton. But since the Dauphin Democrats
have determined to bring the judiciary
into politics purely con dn9re, and with
out hope of success, the Republicans will
doubtless repair that omission and re-elect
that able jurist with a majority that will
instruct the Democrats in the extent of
their sheer stupidity.

sANeUINELY REPUBLICAN.
A Young Canton Man Puts Major McKin-
ley's Majority at $4,000.

F. W.Wagner is prominent young 'cycler
OF Canton. o., and also keeps his eyes open
on interesting political questions. He was
at the Seventh Avenue yesterday and was
asked his opinion on the Ohio campaign.
81 will not be surprised if Major McKinley's
majority should reach $4,000" said he. "That
is pretty big for Ohio just now, but every
thing points to a sweeping victory. They
talk about the farmers being dissatisfied. 1
have talked with great many of them and
find that they are all right and will support
the Major. The soldiers are especially
friendly to him.
Major Mckinley will carry his own dis
trict, though the odds are greatly against
State as he did against Warwick, there is no
telling where his maj jority would stop. But
of course Warwick was not very popular
candidate. and that will make q big di1fer-
ence. However, there Is no doubt Of his
election by good round majority"

buying only the models. The cloaks are
to be manufactured In the United States,
which was not possible to any great extent
until the new tariff came into effect.
Taking this branch of trade alone, the
Mckinley law, besides benefting the
manufacturers, will give work to $4,000
people. 1t is estimated that $4,000, 900
cloaks are required each year to supply
the trade. To make these at least GO, 600
people will have to be employed, over and
above those who were already in the few
factories that existed ten months ago. Day
by day the evidence that there was much
of good and nothing of evil in the tariff
is piling up, and, Judging from the silence
of Democratic leaders on the point at
issue, its weight has already crushed them
to earth. -

A Curious Expression.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Whence is the common expression, ITO
this complexion we must come at last"
P1TTsBURG, August IA. K. A z.
This curious expression, long since be-
come proverbial, is believed to have origt-
mated in the misquotation of a passage in
the grave-digger's scene in Hamlet, '"To this
favor she must come" book of literary,
artistic and musical anecdotes assigns the
first use of this mistake to Sir j. Thornhill,
an eminent English painter, born 1876 died
1882. 1t is related of him that on one occa-
sion, when passing through a gallery of
paintings, he was greatly impressed with
picture of the corpse of q beautiful young
girl. Again and again he returned to the
painting, commenting on the character of
the work. and. finally, following out the
train of reflection excited by the picture, he
wrote on the frame, ITO this complexion
she and all others must come-Shal1es-
peare" Some one doubted the accuracy of
the quotation, and he defended it by saying
that complexion and favor had the same
signification. THIS is the earliest mention
of the expression, so far as its history can be
traced

JAPANESE FLIRTATI0NS.
The Almond-Eyed Maidens Are Coy, but the
Youths Don't Mind That.


San Francisco CALL ~
"The Japanese are nothing if not progress
sive," said L. J. Bruce, who has just re-
turned from the Orient. american customs
are coming into vogue over there, and even
our methods of Irritation, with some slight
notifications, becoming popular. The jap
anese maiden is exceedingly coy, and 1t is
difficult for foreigner to gain an entrance
to society; but tiirtations are by no means
uncommon"
How: Well, ifa young man sees pretty
Japanese girl on the street he may follow
her ut a respectful distance. Presently he
will meet an elderly woman, to whom he
must impart the Information that he has lost
his heart and is miserable. The old woman
will ask what has become OF his heart, and
he must point out the girl, at the same time
slipping quarter in the former's-hand. She
will disappear, and in a few moments re-
turn with the information that If he will be
at a certain fashionable tea house on the fol-
lowing day he may recover his heart. The
pretty maiden will appear with a chaperon,
and the young man is at liberty to address
her. She will probably meet him often in
this way, but always with q protectress,
whose vigilance is never relaxed. If the as
piring youth is circunspect, he may even
tually call. and so gradually work his way
into society,""

VARIOUS plans have been heard of from

VARIOUS plans have been heard Of from
time to time by which young women agreed
to boycott young men for different social Of
fenses, from the absorption of strong drink
to the mastication of tobacco in female soci-
ETY.. But New York has the most advanced
specimen OF this class of boycott 1t is in
f1icted by an organization rather confusedly
referred to by some papers as Lady
Gotham Association" and by others as a
laundresses' assembly of the X. of L. But
whether Lady Gothauis or laundresses, the
evil they propose to put stop to is that of
young men dancing all the while with the
same girls at balls. In view Of the charac-
ter of the offense, it looks as IL the boycott
will go to pieces on the rock of doubt
whether the girls who occupy the exclusive
attention of the young men will join the
boVcott.

Ex.CHIEr JusrIcE ISAAC G. GoRpoN

ex-State Senator W. j. Mcknight and ex-
Prothonotary Scott McClelland comprise
the very creditable list Of delegates selected
for the Scranton Republican League Con-
vention by the Brookville Republican Club.
Delegates of that character are not tied up
by instructions; but the selection of that
stamp of delegates to bodies which are to
guide the policy of parties is very good
omen. If the clubs generally will send the
same material to the convention that body
will not long be worried by efforts to use it
for the enhancement of personal ambitions.

The death of Mrs Polk, yesterday, re-
moves a lady whose national prominence
belongs to an epoch of our national history
entirely distinct from the present one. Halt
a century ago, when the prominent names
of the present era were almost without e1-

the White House. Since then she has lived
in retirement at Nashville, part of the time
in straitened circumstances from the results
of the war. Her dignity in the reception of
all visitors and her blameless and stately life
won the admiration of those who came into
contact with her, and especially the esteem
and love of the people of Nashville.

Where Liquorice Grows.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Where does liquorice grow most plenti-
fully2 80 DRUG.
PIrrsBURs, August Il.
1.-THE liquorice plant is found in many
places, but its home is on the banks of the
Tigris and Euphrates, where its root is
found In fiat, treeless prairies OF uncultivat-
ed and nearly uninhablted land. The
iquorice plant is a small shrub, with light
foliage, growing to about three feet high,
where its root can reach the water. 1t grows
without any cultivation. hollands are leased
for the purpose, and no objection is made to
its being cultivated. 1t is found in abund-
ance from Ctesiphon. ten miles from Bagdad,
down to Kut-ul-Anara, half way between
Bussorah and Bagdad. 1t grows on red
earth soil, and also on light, almost sandy,
soil, where the wood is best, provided it has
plenty of water, and the ground is not more
than 30 yards from the actual river or
stream.l

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
SATURDAY, AUGUST Is, 1871
POINTS ON NIEDRINGHAUs.

The interview elsewhere written by Mr..
John n Evans, a well-known Welsh citi-
zen practically versed in tin plate work,
on Mr.. Niedringhaus' attitude, is full of
points. First, Mr.. Evans points out that
Mr. NiedrinGhaus' programme of working
tin plate factory with GOO hands, but of
importing only GO, is wholly impracticable.
Perhaps this can be explained by the as
sertions of the free trade journals that
Mr.. Niedringhaus' tin plate factory is to
be small affair in connection with his
stamped ware factory, in which the ma
joTity of the other $40 workingmen will be
employed. But that point we can leave
Mr.. NiedringhauS and the free traders to
fight out among themselves.
Mr.. Evans, after asserting what the Of
fcials of the Amalgamated Association
have already demonstrated, that abund-
ance of tin plate workers can already be
obtained in this country, makes a sharp
hit by pointing out that even if Mr. Med
ringhaUs were permitted to import his
foreign laborers they would be of no use.
The Welsh are the worst material in the
world out of which to stock nOn-union
mn. MI. NleuLIIlSHduS may import Ills
60 or 600 Welshmen, but shortly after they
find out that they are being used to break
down the Amalgamated Association he
Will have to import another force, and so
on al iRfa5tum.
All of this is very interesting as an illus
tration of the stupidity of the St Louis
manufacturers attitude. But the most
wanton phase of that stupidity is the lev
erage Mr.. NiedringhauS insists on giving
the free traders. The greatest enemies to
protection are those who support it for
their own enrichment and then violate its
principles for the sake Of an additional
enhancement of their profits. Mr.. Med
ringhaus is one of the most extreme, if not
the most eminent, examples Of that class.
