The address of the Hon. c. F. Libby
before the State Bar Association which
is published in full elsewhere will be
read with great interest not only by law
yers but by laymen as well. Mr.. Libby's
address is plea for the simplification
of legal procedure, and the divesting of
it from the needless, and oftentimes
confusing, technicalities which now sur
round it. To the layman the changes
proposed appear to be thoroughly praeti-
cal and in the line of progress Indeed
the practicability of many of them has
already been demonstrated by actual ex-
pertinent.

Hill is having it hard work to find re-
spectacle men who will accept election
as delegates to Chicago by his state con-
vention. There are plenty of heelers and
ward politicians who can be had for the
asking, but Hill does not want to exhibit
them to the country as a sample of his
New York support, Their votes will
count justas much as the other kind, but
he recognizes the fact that their influence
will be of the kind that will hurt.

Jews in whom the fever has developed,
and besides as long as they receive in the
steerage people likely to be afflicted with
deadly disease they can hardly expect
to get any other passengers. Purely
mercenary motives, if nothing else, will
drive the steamship companies to closing
their vessels against this class of emil
grants. That will be a blessing to this
country. These Russian Hebrews are
the victims of an outrageous persecution,
and it is not their fault that they are in
their present condition. They are en-
titled to the pity of the whole civilized
world. But there is no obligation upon
the United States to receive them. On
the contrary proper regard for the
welfare of our own people not only justi-
fies but compels the closing of our ports
against them. If the steamship compan-
les save the government from the neces-
sity of taking action by refusing to bring
them, that may be sufficient. But some
thing must be done to prevent. the ma
tons of Europe from making this coun-
Try the dumping ground for their pau
perized and diseased population.

An effort will be made to bring the
conduct of Judge Maynard, the man re-
Gently appointed judge of the New York
court of appeals for his services in count
ing out the Republicans, before the New
York bar association. 1t has appeared
in evidence that Maynard went to the
office of the State comptroller where the
official election returns are received and
deliberately distracted a corrected return
of the votes in Duchess county. The
court had ordered this return canvassed
by the State canvassing board and it had
been sent to the comptroller's Office to be
filed for that purpose. Had Maynard
not carried it off the board would have
had to canvass it and the Democrats
could not have succeeded in stealing the
New York Senate. It was for his sue
cess in keeping this return away from
the canvassing board that Maynard was
made Judge of the highest court of the
state of New York. 1t is gratifying to
see there are people in New York who
do not think that ability of the kind that
has made Maynard conspicuous consti-
tutes recommendation for a seat in a
judicial tribunal and are willing to say
so.

The Express is generally serious
sheet, but sometimes it is guilty of a
piece of unconscious humor. Witness its
assertion last night that if there lis any
personal ill-feeling between Col. Dow and
Mr.. Reed, it is matter in which it is not
interested.''
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1892-02-18

The Express rehearsed again last night
Colonel BOWS version of the differences
between himself and Mr.. Reed. When
that narrative was first fired off it had a
certain amount of interest, but ithas done
duty so many times during the past year
in the Express and the Boston Herald
and Globe that it has taken on an ancient
and fshlike flavor, decidedly repulsive.
If, however, the Express derives pleas
ure from repeating it nobody is likely to
attempt to interfere. The chief objection
to the EXPRESSES dwelling upon it is the
liability to fill it's mind to the exclusion
of more weighty and important questions.
We have been trying for some days to
draw it's attention to a consideration OF
the propriety of the conduct of the offic-
ial committeeman of party, under an
agreement to support the representative
men and candidates OF that party, in con-
tinually slurring in syndicate of news
papers, one of which is itself, one
of the most prominent representatives
of the party, but with strange perversity
its mind persists in slipping off on to
other matters. Possibly if we can sue
coed in getting it down to considera-
ton of the question it will be able to
show that such conduct is perfectly
honorable and does not, as it appears to,
conflict with the generally accepted code
of ethics. But delay tends to the injury
of whoever may be guilty of the
conduct aforesaid, for the reason
that when one side of a case is presented
and allowed to remain unanswered for a
considerable time people are liable TO
make up their minds on the e1 parte
presentation. Then the defendant, when
he makes answer, encounters definite
opinion which is likely to prove serious
obstacle to his defence. Therefore we
urge the Evening Express to delay no
longer, but dismiss all collateral ques-
tons, and proceed to reconcile the con-
duct of state committeeman in bella
boring the leader of his party in public
prints, with the obligations to his party
which were imposed upon him and
which he voluntarily accepted when he
took the office. 1t will be of no use to
try to obscure this question by kicking
up dust over some other, or to drive 1T
out of peoples heads by shouting about
reciprocity. The question is here, and
it is here to stay until it is answered or
it is practically admitted that it is unan-
swerable.
If there is any defence for the per-
Torrance that has been going on in this
district for many months past of which
the member Of the Republican State
committee for Cumberland county has
been the director, and which has consist
ed of series of assaults in a syndicate
of newspapers upon the representative
from this district, the Republicans of the
First District would like to know what it

Pugh says Hill is a self made man, that

his Is splendid career as governor was
closed by an achievement that has at
tracted attention from the great skill
and remarkable benefit to the Democracy
attached to it. This great achieve

isone of Hills great recommendations for

FACTS ABOUT BEES.
They Are Interesting to Folks who Ii

The breeding of queen bees for market
has grown to be an important industry
in this country. In every hive are de-
geloped each summer from dozen to IL
score or two of queen cells, each of
which is destined to produce q queen.
They are bigger than the ordinary six
sided cells and are of an elongated
shape. The queen-mother lays the same
sort of eggs in them that she deposits in
the other receptacles, but the worms
hatched from these eggs are fed by
the nurse bees with such extra rich food
that the winged insects into which they
are metamorphosed become queens in
stead of ordinary workcrs-that is to
say, big females, fully developed SEX
ually 1t is purely matter of diet.
But inasmuch as there can be but one
queen in hive, after the old queen
mother has gone away for good with
a swarm, those of the workers left be-
hind gnard the sealed cells of the young
queens that are about to emerge, only
permitting one to get out at a time. If
two escape at once, as sometimes hap
pens, they would kill each other. Per-
haps one or two of the new queens fly
out of the hives with swarms, but the
workers which finally remain allow the
next queen who comes out to stab all
the others to death in their cells even
helping her to perform this cruel, but
necessary operation. Thus it happens
that comparatively few queens are per-
mitted to live. The bee-l<eeper how
ever, saves their lives by cutting off the
superfiuous queen cells from the combs,
selling the queens produced from them
for five dollars each and upward.
Agents nowadays travel around the
world to seek new varieties of bees. A
very excellent and popular stock of in
dustrious honey-getters has recently
been introduced from Cyprus. When
the Venetians owned the island two
hundred thousand hives were kept there.
People used honey for sugar in those
davs. Now there are only thirty thou
sand hives, owing to oppressive taxes
levied upon the industry Of the Turks.
The residents are usually unwilling TO
sell any of their bees, believing that
those left behind will fly away after the

ly, the purchaser is commonly obliged
to buy fifty hives in order to secure fifty
queens. This is apt to be II bore d..
Benton found it so on one occasion when
he tried to carry number of earthen-
ware hires across the country on mule

stung that he swelled up about twice

A NEW INVENTION,
An Ingenious Protection Against Rough
Weather.

Weather,
4 clever English tailor has invented
new skirt, which is an improvement
on the muddy gown of the present
period. The skirt is designed chiefly
for rainy weather. 1t is the length of
an ordinary skirt but the cheviot of
which it is composed reaches only with
in a foot of the ground, where it is sup
pleme nted with band of leather or of
macintosh of harmonizing color. This
band is merely buttoned by invisible
means on the skirt. When the wearer
returns to the house it may be unbut-
toned, the mud and dust easily cleaned
off, and its place filled by u band of
cheviot. The great objection to this
dress is that it offers no special protec-
tion to the ankles and understands,
which are liable to become badly spat-
tered by the mud and dirt. Being a
stiff material, it will cause great deal
more spattering in ''swashing' through
the mud than dress of ordinary goods.
Stout leggins of the material of the
dress, if you please, ined with macllin-
tosh, comfortable riding habit tights
and stout skirt of tweed, faced with
rubber cloth on the inside to the depth
of ten or twelve inches and clearing
the ground, makes a dreadnaught out
fit, which is utilitarian and may be
graceful. The upper part OF the dress
may be selected in any style the wcarel'
fancies.--N. Y. Tribune.
