It is stated that Associate Justice
Stephen J. Field will soon retire from
the Supreme Bench. There will be
no general regret when this event oc-
ours. From the very first, this man
has been Il menace TO justice. to right,
to the laws. No one acquainted with
his career has ever believed in the
honesty Of his purpose, nor hus any
lawyer conceived for one moment the
idea that this member of the highest
Court in tho land ever relied upon
the truth as the basic principle Of his
decisions. He has been an able Jus.
tica-there can be no doubt Of that
but he has never been a trustworthy

County Official Paper.
WE HOPE SO.

When Congress meets in December,
the silver men should be on deck and
send a free coinage bill to the Presl-
dent before the 4th OF March. We
do not believe that Harrison would
veto it in faco Of the protest, regis
tered by the mining States or Tues
day last.-(ELKo INDEPENDENT.
The Reno Gazette, in commenting
on the same, says:
president Harrison will act in that
matter just exactly as though the
Silver states had voted for either him
or Cleveland. If he was q narrow
gauge nan he would doubtless be in
huenced in the other direction, by
the vote Of the States which he should
have carried being cast in the interest
Of his only real opponent, the candi-
date OF the Democratic party. But
he is p broad gauge man and above
the influence of petty spite in a
matter Of public policy. The Gazette
is OF the opinion it has always held,
that Mr.. Harrison will not veto a free
coinage bill il such a measure is sub
mitted to him."
Every one Of the two million votes
cast for Weaver and Field was a vote
for the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver at its present ratio Of Is to l.
While this may not influence the
action Of President Harrison if a free
coinage bill be passed during the
coming session OF Congress, it should
nerve the friends of silver to more
earnest efforts in it's behalf. They
should push the fight all along the
line until silver is restored 10 the
place itoccupied before 1873.
If President Harrison signs a bill
for the free coinage of silver at it's
present ratio, the toiling masses of the
American people will not stop to en-
qulre the cause but will hail him as
their dAliverer from a slavery more
CALLING than that destroyed by the
civil war.

the balcony on the second story of its
home in Chambersburg Saturday morn
ing and fell to the pavement below.
His nurse was with him but at the
time had her back turned while doing
some chore. The thud Of the little
ones fall and his screams soon after
called the other servants. Mr.. and
Mrs. Riddle were hastily summoned
while kind neighbors attended to the
childandran fora physician. Although
the child struck the hard brick pave.

showed that aside from a bruised and
cut forehead and perhaps one small
bone in the shoulder broken the little
fellow is not badly injured.

The city Of Cumberland was visited
Saturday afternoon by cloudburst
and terrific rain storm. Four and
seven tenths inches of rain fell. Some
ofsthe streets were transformed into
raging torrents, and the cellar Of
nearly every house in the northern
section of the city was flooded. Fences
and outhouses were carried away, and
in number Of instances lives were
saved with difficulty. The founda-
tons Of large number Of houses
have been undermined, and the inhab-
itants are preparing to move. The
water reached depth of five feet in
some Of the buildings. Portions Of
the B. u O. Railroad track near the
city were washed away and trestle
almost entirely demolished. Trains
on that road are being run via the
West Virginia Central. A number Of
families have lost their all, and are in
such condition as to receive assistance.
Such a storm has not visited that
place for years.

SUNDAY BEER DRINKERS.

A number of our residents were
treated to.a very novel and amusing
scene on Sunday last when several Of
our young men of the flour hundred
attempted to secure their key which
had been carefully concealed neal
Herring's stable, ON College street, late
Saturday night. They were going
out of the city to have a hilarious time
without the knowledge of their friends
and others, bat poor fellows! Fate or.
dained otherwise, for when to their
surprise they went to secure their
coveted treasure, they found the gate
locked by which they were accustom-
ed to enter and each suggested way
to gain admittance to the yard.
Finally two of the young men decided
that the only way was to scale the
fence and hand the key to the Others
on the outside, which they did. II
was carefully placed in their convey.
,ance, observed by about fifty persons,
and they departed for the country.
We will not mention any names this
time, but should the occurrence be re-
peated, the names viii be furnished
with the key.

WHIPPING CHILDREN.

A parent who don't know how to
govern a child without whipping, ought
to surrender the care Of that child to
some wiser person. Sportsmen once
thought it was necessary to lash their
dogs in training them for the field.
They know now that the whip should
never be used. Horsemen once thought
it necessary to whip colts to teach
them to start on the spot at the word,
and pull steadily. They know now that
an apple is better than the lash and a
caress better than a blow. If dogs
and horses can thus be educated with
out punishment, what is there in our
children which makes it necessary to
slap and pound themf Have they
colder hearts, Are they lower in the
scale Of being We have heard many
old people say; If we were to bring
up another child we would never whip
itT They are wise, but little too
late. Instead Of God doing 50 little
for children that they must be whip
ped to goodness he has done 50
much for them that even whipping
cant ruin him-that is, as rule.
But, alas! there are many exceptions
to this rule. Many children are of
such a quality that blow makes them
cowardly, or reckless, or deceitful, or
permanently ugly. Whipping makes
children lie; whipping makes them
hate their parents; whipping makes
them distaseful makes the boys run
away, makes the girls seek happiness
anywhere and anyhow; whipping is
barbarous. Do not whip.

Tie Rev. Thomas Dixon, the sensa-
tional Baptist preacher, Of New York,
who has frequently denounced the city
government and prominent politicians,
Is about to b arrested on warrant
charging him with criminal libel. The
warrant was issued on Tuesday on the
charge Of Excise Commissioner Koch,
who alleges in his complaint that the
libel was contained in a pamphlet or
circular which was widely circulated;
also, that the statements complained
Of were uttered before his ccngrega-
ton. Officer Connolly, Of the Jeffer-
son Market Court, called at Mr..
Dixon's house Friday. and not finding
him in, left word that he would call
again to-day. II the doctor does not
give himself up To-day he will be ar

the danger to the city was moderated,
no one having the slightest idea that
the food, dangerous as it was, was to

o'clock this morning, Immediately fol-
lowing three terrific explosions which
shook the city to its centre, great
light went up from the direction Of the
Crescent Refinery, located on the

A second look showed the entire plant
to be one vast sheet Of solid flame, the
light from which illuminated full

showed to the assembled and terrified
spectators the full extent Of the great
calamity that had befallen their beau
