THE JUDGES OF THE NEW COURT.

As was intimated beforehand would be
done, the Republican County Committee
yesterday followed the Democratic ex-
ample and indorsed Judges Porter, Nc
Clung and Kennedy, the Governors ap-
pointees for Allegheny county new court
The preamble of the resolution recites as
a reason that the sitting Judges possess
the confidence and respect of the people
of the county" That this is true may be
inferred from the fact that even those
partisans who wanted a straight-out ticket
had nothing to offer against the capacity
or character of the present incumbents.
Under the circumstances, considering
that two of the Judges are Republican
and one Democrat, the public will doubt
less be well enough satisfied, as it is not
perceptible how its interests would be bet
ter served by an exclusively partisan
bench. That the friends of the straight
out partisan aspirants are temporarily en-
bittered is, however, not surprising. Such
complimentary action in partisan bodies is
unusual The Democrats, it is true, have
in this county frequently in6orsed Repub-
lican judges; but this was not altogether
magnaminity, but more often resulted
from knowledge that opposition to sit
ting Republican judge is usually forlorn
hope in this district.
That any straight ticket composed out
side of the sanction or cooperation of
the committee will result from such part
isan dissatisfaction as may exist is unlikely
However logical and unimpeachable
the argument that as partisans the
Republicans had a right if they
wished to convention, the fact
remains that back of Republican and
Democrats are the people, and as long as
no objection is urged to the sitting judges
in respect to the vital consideration of fit
ness, the people are not disposed to upset
them. On the contrary, as heretofore
stated, even had the committee ordered
convention, it is highly doubtful whether
it could have beaten the Governors nom
inees at the polls.

CITIZEN SOLDIERS.

Emperor William, of Germany, must
have enjoyed the field day at Wimbledon
Yesterday more than all the rest of his
junketing tour in England, for if one
characteristic in the young Kaiser is more
marked than any other it is his love for
everything military. The review of the
volunteers-the boys who mind John
Bulls shop, as Punch once called them
did not add, we can readily believe, much
in the way of maneuver or military tech
nique to the war-lord's store of knowledge,
and the rumor already is afloat that he
could not refrain from sneering at the
citizen soldiers. Yet it would be
well if the political significance of
the scene were brought home to
him. The willingness of thousands of
civilians to devote goodly share of their
time, their toll and their money to their
native land, without larger reward in ma
terial way than to spend day under arms
in the open field on a hot day for the
amusement of royal visitor perhaps
surely this is worthy the notice of an auto
cratic ruler of a nation in arms by COM
pulsion. The moral of such sight as the
English Volunteers review is similar to
that which the response to the call for
troops to defend the Union taught, or to
that enforced by the same citizen soldiers
readiness to lay aside the sword when the
country was saved Happy are the lands
where the professional soldier does not
hold sway; and they are often the strong
est, too, when put to the test.

THE pRoP1EM OF POLLUTION

The result of recent decision of the
State Board of Health that it is the func-
ton of the city of Pittsburg to take meas
ures to prevent the pollution of the Monon-
gahela river by the drainage of Braddock
puts the city in rather peculiar position.
A declaration by Chief Brown, of the
Department of Public Safety, is published
to the effect that the city will proceed at
once.
This is, of course, a manifest duty for the
protection of Southside people against a
polluted water supply, if no other means
of giving them pure water exists. But the
city in that proceeding will be coming
very close to throwing stones at its own
glass. Doubtless there is considerable
pollution of the Monongahela by the drain
age of Braddock, and it seems likely that
there is more from the drainage of still
larger population at tMcKeesport. But both
together will not exceed the pollution of
the Allegheny river by the sewers
of Pittsburg, against which Allegheny, on
the same principle, has the right to take
action. A superficial view of recent
action by the Northside city might con-
IL W Il6 6lleCJ bild1 buo
have no objection to water supply con-
tanning a dilution of sewage. But if
Pittsburg proceeds against Braddock, it is
quite possible that Allegheny might come
into court against PittSburg.
The Chief Of the Department of Public
Safety recognizes that action of this sort
will raise the whole question of the pollu-
ton of the two rivers. But it is hardly
practical to hope for satisfactory solution
of that question by the policy of one
municipality attacking another. Indeed
the magnitude of the problem renders a
full solution improbable except by union
of all municipalities to effect one of two
works: First, obtaining common water
supply from point where purity will be
permanently guaranteed; or, second, build
ing intercepting sewers for the drainage
of all to point where the sewage can in
jure no one.

NEW JERSEYS LADY PARsoN.
She Filled Her Pulpit Well Till Idle Tongues
Began to Wag.

FARMINGDALE n. j., Julys1L-At Sloan, q
pretty little settlement among the pfnes q
few miles from here, the members of the
Methodist Church were severely criticised
and censured last Sunday by the woman
evangelist who has conducted the religious
services in the church during the past few
months.
For long time, as is said, the members of
the church have been at war with each
other and with every minister who has Off
ciated for them. In order to please all par
ties Miss Lavinia Brown, of Keyport, ac-
cepted call several months ago and has
occupied the pulpit regularly, ana given
general satisfaction until week or two ago.
Then the tongues of the village gossips BE-
gan to wag, and Miss Browns name was
used in O manner that shocked the woman
evangelist and many of her most ardent
supporters
Being q woman Of determined energy, she
retaliated from the pulpit last Sunday, and
gave her parishioners who had maligned
her most vigorous tongue-lashing. She
named the offenders, one by one, who had
been so rash as to reflect upon her good
character, before the entire congregation.
Her address caused great excitement and
commotion throughout the entire church.
Loud murmurings Of approval or dissent
more enemies than friends. So uproariOus
was the congregation that brief consulta-
ton was held and some of the members
threatened to seize Miss Brown and throw
her out of the window. By strenuous ef-
forts the better element of the congregation
finally persuaded the members whom Miss
Brown had so vehemently denounced to
pursue O more lenient course, and the
woman evangelist was permitted to leave
the building without molestation. Miss
Browd rendered her resignation and it was
promptly accepted by the church authori-
ties. She will return to Keyport.

broker at 81, the regular price being S11 30,
and that the Judge instructed the jury to
bring in a verdict for the defendants. The
report of the Judges charge shows that
the instructions to the jury were based on
the fact that the road issued a style
of limited ticket at the same price as those
sold, and that the tickets sold came in the
same category. 1t appears to be
"a rather singular manifestation of
anxiety for the defendants acquittal
that the Judge was not willing to leave
the questions of fact to the uninfluenced
decision of the jury. But SO far from the
law being nullifed by the decision there
was nothing of the sort The Judge
simply instructed the jury that there had
been no violation Of the provisions of the
law, and If his views of the facts are right
his statement is undoubtedly correct.
The Interstate Commerce law, like the
Anti Trust law, is still in effective force.
The trouble with both measures is that
when they come into contact with great
corporate powers there is a remarkable
indisposition to secure their enforcement.

OUGHT TO GET MARRIED.
The Colonel Couldn't Play Whist and There
Was Only One Thing Left.

Was Only One Thing Left.
81. Louis Republic.l
Colonel Theo. Cash Is o prominent Demo
crat of Clay county. He has represented his
people in the Legislature and in the interim
sold goods to a large constituency. During
the General Assembly of two years ago the
Colonel assisted in the organization of q
whist club and played against Senator An
derson, who is a foeman worthy ofanybody's 8
steel. One night the game was progressing
closely and Colonel Cash chanced to be on
the losing side.
"It makes me tired" he said, looking dag
gers at Senator Anderson, ITO see q man lead
an eightspot when he knows his opponents
have neither trumps nor larger cards of that
suit. 'Tisn't fair"
s.a "Rale of the game, c9lonsl, !" replied the

"What kind of game is this, anyhow"
said Senator Bybee, of Cass, who had been

for never saw anything like 1t in Arkansas
or in the army. Trumps and high cards 60,
do they?"
"That's about it,"
"Well can I come in7"
"Anybody can come in, !" said Colonel Cash,
with disguised look.
Senator Bybee wentfn, and, to the astonish-
ment OF everybody, he held nearly all the
for the next hour, literally taking the game
in his own hands.
81 know what IN do" said Colonel Cash,
desperately; I'll get married. 1t seems I
have reached q time oflife when an ordinary
Arkansas poker player and q Jefferson City
dude can beat me playing whist. There's
only one thing left for me-matrimonyr'
And Colonel Cash stalked dramatically out
of the room.

DEATH BY ELECTRICITY.

Is death by electricity painless? The
doctors who saw four men executed by
electricity in Sing Sing prison the other
day opine that it is. A telegraph linesman
of st. Louis, who received shock of three
thousand volts, about double that used at
Sing Sing, very positively holds to the
opposite opinion, and the graphic descrip-
tion of his sensations which appears in
another column of this issue will carry the
same conviction to most minds. 1t is as if
one of the miserable wretches executed in
prison had returned to life to testify,
and it has an important bearing upon
the question of the humanity of sub
stituting electricity for the rope and
gallows. The conclusion that because
death by electricity is very painful it is
therefore not a fit fate for marderers,

The result of the investigation of the
last BardSley story does not clear away
the mystery about the wrecked Keystone
Bank 1t develops no positive evidence
about the destination of the missing
money. Tie only really satisfactory ad-
vance over the previous state of affairs is
that nothing has been suppressed in the
interest of any man, however powerful
and influential
The statement of Bardsley about what
Marsh told him connected Mr. Wana-
maker more closely than ever with the
failure, and in addition drags in the names
of Colonel Mcclure and Mr.. Singerly. But
the force of this as hearsay evidence is al
most wholly destroyed by the fact that
Bardsley takes it back simultaneously with
its publication. Neither public opinion
nor court of law could convict man on
such testimony as this. The state
ment does not allege that either
Mcclure or Singerly had any,
thing to do with the wreeking of
the bank, but attacks them for
alleged mixture of politics with business
in other respects. As regards Mr. Wana-
lldhtls bllC oldNtlllOuO oO uONV-tdllo
with that of the Postmaster General con-
cerning the surrender of the over Issued
stock that it gives a different point of view
concerning the same facts.
This phase of the matter, connected
with discrepancy in the Postmaster Gen.
erals statement in relation to his owner
ship of stock in the wrecked bank, cannot
but strengthen the public suspicious of his
connection with the affair. The evidence,
as we have said, is worthless in legal
point Of view; but, when the public has lost
$1,000 900 in mysterious way, it does not
always reserve its opinion until legal evi-
dence is produced. The present state of
affairs only increases the necessity of clear
ing up the whole matter. To place Mr..
Wanamaker's position above suspicion he
should urge every possible means of trac-
ing the lost money-which, it is no more
than fair to say, is the attitude he takes in
his appearance before the committee
Certainly no satisfactory settlement of
the,Keystone Bank muddle can be hoped
for, in a public point of view, until the
mystery Of the missing money is fully
cleared up.
