WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 30, 1894

THE TENURE of iudseships should be
for life and good behavior, for good
Judges are now almost the only depend
ence there is for-the protection OF lie
and the security of property, the con-
troll of legislative bodies of all kinds
having long since been given over to
demagogues, and therefore to injustice,
fraud and corruption. The city coun-
Gill of Baltimore passed an ordinance
prohibiting the employment on the
public works of that city of any man
not a member Of labor organization.
Now there are great many more men
who don't, than who do, belong to such
organizations, and who are just as
worthy. but who have sense enough to
spend their money for the support OF
their own families, rather than for that
of walking delegates, or other officers
of labor unions. The ordinance re-
ferred 10 would have grossly outraged
all such men if Judge Phelps of that
CITY had not interferred in their behalf,
and rightly decided that it is contrary
not only to the spirit, but to the letter
of the Constitution, as it discriminates
against some of the people of Baltimore
in favor of others. If common sense
and natural justice were more preva-
lent in this country, the people thereof
would get along much better than
they do.

ing the dance as "highly improper,
immodest and suggestive" They
pleaded with him to allow the dance
to GO on, and he then suggested that
the dance be submitted to a committee
of citizens for their judgment. DR.. D..
w. Smith, president Of the Board of Ed
ucation Principal White of the High
School, Rev. DR.. Charles D. Shaw and
VIM. Dufiord were selected, and the
graduates went through the evolutions
at the theatre that afternoon before the

Smith. Every acceptable" said DR..
Shaw. Cant object to that" said
Principal White. Don't see anything
immodest about it," said Mr.. Dullord. 1t

should go on. But DR.. Reinhart then
left the theatre and rode away on his
bicycle.

AUGUSTA, Me, June 20.-The great
electrical storm which prevailed in the
State for the past three days has been
the most severe for years, continuing
each day at intervals. Monday night
through central Maine there was con-
slant manifestation of lightning and
thunder from dusk until 3 o'clock Tues
day morning. The air was charged with
electricity. A large portion of the pop
ulation for miles around did not retire
for the night either because of fright or
or to be ready TO put out fires kindled
by the lightning. Many houses and
barns were struck and burned, and
horses and cattle killed in the fields.
In Skowhegan school house, in which
were 40 scholars, was struck, but no
one was hurt. The State house at
Augusta was also struck.

How CAN the people of the country
expect to have their interests sub
served, when members of the highest
branch of Congress boldly acknowledge
that they deal in stocks the value Of
which is affected by the legislation Of
that body? The predominant idea in
this country now is to get money-no
matter how, and as there is nothing at
present to indicate the slightest deca-
dence in that idea, in the near future,
and as nothing stands still, the number
of mild hammered robbers will proba-
bly, increase until forebearance ceases

Mr.. ADAMS, president of the Ohio

nothing more natural than that they

TIE SOUTHERN RAILWAY CO.-The
Richmond and Danville, recognized
under the title ofthe Southern Railway
Company, is one of the most extensive
railroad systems in the United States
There are only one or two companies
controlling greater mileage. And what
particularly delights the business men
of Newport News now is that Newport
News will eventually be the termiDous
of the big Southern system. The Van
derbilts control the Chesapeake and
Ohio road, and the Vanderbilts, through
Drexel, Morgan & Co., are supposed to
own the control of the Richmond and
Danville. At any rate, the Chesapeake
and Ohio and the Richmond and Dan
vile will be closely related in their
management, and while the Richmond
and Danville may not abandon West
Point altogether, by next year the great
volume of the company's business will
be carried to Newport News. This
means many additional improvements
at Newport News. The Chesapeake
and Ohio already has splendid facilities
there, but with the tremendous traffic
of the Richmond and Danville, piers
and yard room will have to be doubled.
Conservative citizens Of Newport
News say that real estate business was
never in better condition for an active
movement next fall. There is already
good, healthy demand for suburban
