seven New Judges Named.


wAsHIxGrox, Dec. l6.-The first batch Of
nominations OF Circuit Court Judges under
the act increasing the number by nine went
TO the Senate to-day. There has been
good deal OF criticism excited by the fact
that two Democrats, w. L. Putnam, Of
Maine, and G. NJ Dallas, of Pennsylvania,
we're named. When the bill passed It was
understood that at least three of the judge
ships would be given to Democrats. Every
body was then satisfied. President Harrison
has since then intimated his intention Of
appointing these Democrats in Northern
circuits, as he considered il poor politics to
put Democrats on the bench in the South.
This policy was also considered wise, but
now that it has been carried out there is a
good deal Of grumbling.
The Maine delegation is very angry, and
they ask why Mr.. Harrison did not select 3
Democrat in his own State, Indiana, instead
of infiicting one on the New England Re
publicans.
The Pennsylvania delegation is not very
well pleased with Mr.. Dallas's appointment.
While they all agree that he is a man Of
great ability. they do not ike the banner
Republican state to be represented on the
bench BY Democrat. Several of the mem
be-s were backing General Osborne for the
position, while Others were urging the ap-
pointment Of ex-Attorney General Kirkpat-
rick. Ifneither of these had any show, then
it was believed that the appointment would

A Prison Scandal.


READING, Pa, December 10.-There was a
great sensation in the criminal court OF this
county this morning when eX-P Prison Watch
man Reaben Rhoades entered q plea Of
guilty to a charge of gross negligence while
on duty in making it possible for prisoners
to escape. He followed up his plea by
making full expose of how the county
prison has been conducted. He described
alleged orgies in the cells of prisoners, and
how female prisoners had been literally sup
piled with liquor. His authority as watch
man had been questioned, and he had lost
control of the prisoners through the war
den's a legged familiarity. When he en-
deavored TO reprimand prisoners for mis-
conduct be was told to 60 to. On the
night the female counterfeiter, Beatrice Col
Inns, escaped, he had left his keys lying on
the desk in the jail corridor, bat her cell
had been Jeff unlock on the night before by
some one who had the keys. Watchman
Rhoades made startling statement in re-
gard to the liberties allowed prisoners and
scenes alleged to have transpired in Mrs.
Collins cell, and the court at once enacted a
rule o show cause why Prison Warden
Mench should not be removed. A full in
yestigation into the charges made by Watch
man Rhoads was also ordered, the same to
take place next Monday

THE information sent ont from Wash
inc,on that the Democrats in Congress
have determined 70 commence tinker
ing with the tariff, is calculated to dis
turb the business Of the country 70 a
much greater extent than if there vas
general attack on the entire Mckinley
bill. because it win intimidate capital
and cause manufacturers to run short
until they see the extent and outcome Of
the "tinkering." This viii distract all
ines of business and cause distress
among the employees of large number
Of industries. Among the articles cited
as the suject Of bills for their free impor-
tstion are wool, salt, binding-twine, cot
ton ties, iron ore, coal, and large line Of
woollen goods To abolish the duty on
these articles would strike a disastrous
blow 70 the sheep grower, would close
up our salt works, while the miners Of
iron ore and coal would be brought into
direct competition with the foreign pro-
ducess and employers of cheap labor.
The Mckinley law is working well and
becoming more popular every day. II
should be allowed to stand as It is until
it has been thoroughly tested. ANY at
tempt TO tinker with It in the interest
of free trade viii not only prove disas-
trous to the business interests Of the en-
tire country, but viii check the onward
strides which We are making towards
unparalleled prosperity.
