Relief for the supreme Court.

Philadelphia Press: "That our safe SUI
preme court needs relief from the over
pressure of business upon 1t is not dis
puted. Among the cases handed down by
the supreme court on Monday is French
Creek VS.. Moore, In which the amount in
voived is $3.50. No important end was
gained by having this case go before the
supreme court. Last year this court
heard and decided 800 cases, I'm fully one
third of which less than $500 was at stake
The court has now reached the limit of
physical endurance. Many of these cases
are carried up to the supreme court by
lawyers intent on making fees for them
selves or on winning their clients cases,
not on. their merit but by the process of
wearying the patience and eXhaustng'the
purses of their opponents before the last
judgment in their favor can be rendered
a crowded supreme court docket on which
cases linger until mildewed with age Is
just what such pettfoggers like best
No appealable suit can be finally won un-
der such conditions, except after long
waiting though the right of the suitor be
as clear as MONDAY. The evil suggests
its own remedy. Shut off these pettifog-
gers. Let small cases involving no consti-
tutional question and less than $1,000 be
heard and determined I'm an intermediate
court of appeals. unless for special rea-
sons shown a rehearing Is allowed in the
supreme court. Such intermediate court
calls for the creation of no new judges, b ut
for the utilization of the common pleas
judges. 1t Is n plan favored and offered
by Governor Pattison and offers the SUI
preme court the relief 1t needs with the
least disturbance of the present judicial
system of the state"

For Honest Ballot Reform.

Norristown Herald: "The necessary
amendments to secure honest ballot re-
form have been prepared and will
be submitted to the legislature. They
provide that the name of each candidate
whom the voter prefers shall be indicated
by mark after his name, except in the
case of presidential electors where a
single mark deslgnates the whole group ;
and also that proper safeguards shall be
thrown around the matter of assistance,
the voter being required to make oath or
affirmation of disability in order to obtain
aid. and the helper to bind himself not to
attempt to influence such voter or to dis
close how he voted. While changes in the
manner of voting are to be deprecated as
a rule, these amendments appear to be
necessary and they will no doubt COM
mand the appreciation of a majority of
the legislature as they do of the voting
public without reference to party pred-
lections."

Will Be No Game.

Manager Houlihan of the Bangor High
school football team, received telegram
from Manager Skillin of the Portland
High school eleven, Monday evening,
stating that the Portlands would not play
third game in this city under any con.
sideration.
This decision puts an end to the con-
tests between Bangor and Portland this
year. The Bangor men will not go to
Portland for the third game under any
conditions. They believe that Portland
has not acted squarely in the matter.
Bangor played two of the three Games
in 1894 in Portland and it is only a
matter of justice that Portland should
play here again this year. Her preemptory
refusal to do so cannot he because she
did not get fair treatment last Saturday
The game was witnessed by the largest
crowd that ever saw football game in
Maine, and the police kept the field clear,
something which was not done in Port
land; the officials were square and every
thing else was Satisfactory
Portland makes big mistake in not
coming here for third game on Thanks
giving Day. Both teams are 'in the
hole'' 80 to speak, in the matter OF

A DEADLOCK IN KENTUCKY.
The Legislature May Have Trouble il
Electiug Senator.

Frankfort. KY, November 1S.-The
resignation of ex-Speaker A. J. Carroll
of Louisville awakens some interest in
the Senatorial race. Should Mr.. Carroll
be defeated, all hopes of the election of a
Democratic Senator will disappear.
Before Mr.. CAROLS resignation, the
Legislature stood sixty-eight to sixty
eight, with two Populists holding the
balance of power.
Horace j. Poor of Pendleton was
elected on combination ticket, between
the Republicans and Populists, and, it is
claimed, with the understanding that he
support Republican for the United
States Senate. Should this be the case,
and in the contingency of Mr.. Carroll's
re- election, there would still be a dead
lock, and should this be kept up to the
end of the session, when Mr.. Poor had
discharged his obligation by standing by
the Republicans, then, it is thought by
some, he might exercise his personal
preference and vote for Blackburn or
some other free-silver Democrat, should
he be nominated.
Neither side has yet given up the legis-
lature The situation is at present a
most interesting one, and, in case of Mr..
CarrolPs reelection, if the Republicans
do not unseat mem bers of the House.
will inevitably result in deadlock.

JEWISH JoTTINGs.

The Montefore Magazine has passed out
of existence.
The Jewish population of New York
city is now estimated at 100000, or fully
twice as great as Is years ago.
In some Jewish synagogues in this coun-
try women are admitted to full member
ship and possess the right of voting.
The central conference of American raS-
bis voted to give Rabbi Moses, the compFL
er of the Union Prayer Book, 20 per cen
of the profits of its sale.
The new Union Prayer Book is relief
to the cantor. But where singing is re-
quired the soloist in the choir is yet useful.
AS the ritual is mainly in English the rab-
bi and his associates can do all the read
ing.
The National Council of Jewish Women
has grown rapidly in strength and infu-
enoe during the two years Of it's existence.
The young and the old, the learned and
the ignorant, the poor and the rich, are
welcomed to its membership.
Among the American Jewish scholars
who have recently Visited Europe may be
named Professor Richard Gottheil, Rabbi
NJ. II. Harris and Rabbi Stephen Wise Of
New York, Dr. Hollander Of the Johns
Hopkins university and Rabbi Levy Of

TOMATOES FOR THE GREENHOUSE.

A Report ON Varieties Tested at the Yer
mont Experiment Station.
L. R. Jonss, writing from the Yer.
mont station to Rural New Yorker.
gives this information concerning toma-
toes for greenhouse cultuE- He says:
The Essex Hybrid is % has been
the standardvariety with us for forcing.
1t has medium size, smooth and firm
fruit, and yields as well as if not better
than any other variety we nave ever
tried. 1t has as little black rot as any
excepting some of the newer varieties.
The Early Minnesota has done well
in our house this season, but as this is
our first trial of it we don't wish to be
too positive in praising it's merits. 1t
has some very meritorious qualities, was
the first to ripen, both m the house and
garden, and was only very slightly af-
feoted with the rot. 1t bears q large
crop of medium size, smooth, round and
firm fruit, which is of the very best
quality, but is too seedy to suit some
people. AS to meatiness, it is not up to
standard, whereas the Essex Hybrid
may be considered as near the standard
as perhaps it is necessary to get.
Tho Ignotum has been a very good
forcing variety, but we. shall discard it
from our houses in the future as being
Improbable. II is very badly affected
with the rot, and does not grow smooth
enough to suit us. This variety has suf-
fered the most from the roc Of any we
have grown this year.
The Dwarf Champion we shall try in
our houses this winter. We have had it
in the houses during the summer, and
it has done remarkably we'll. The plant
itself is strong and vigorous, and as lit
tie affected with physiological troubles,
like edema, as any. 1t is great crop
per and the fruit is of the best, both as
regards quality and meatiness, and the
rot has not materially affected it. The
dwarf habit of the plant, too, permits of
closer planting than the larger kinds.
We shall make thorough trial of these
three varieties, the Essex Hybrid, the
Early Minnesota and the Dwarf Cham
pion, in our house this winter.
In our gardens this year we had sew
eral varieties that are especially adapted
to our conditions. We had the Acme,
Beauty, Paragon. Matchless, Golden
Queen, Maule's New Imperial and the
new Stone, besides others. The Golden
Queen is yellow and may not be suit
able for the markets, but as home
fruit it cannot be surpassed. Maules
New Imperial is new variety well
worthy of trial. 1t is good cropper, OF
large, smooth, firm fruit. The Stone is
another very promising new variety,
good for the general crop.

AN INDIAN LOVE SONG.

His winter home the bear forsakes;
The red deer swims the shining lakes;
Up foaming falls the salmon leaps;
The wild sheep halts on dizzy sleeps;
The swans are northward flying.
With laughing voice the rivers run,
Their pillows flashing in the sun.
1t is the moon Of sprouting grass;
A Thousand warm, sweet breezes pass
Through lofty pine tops signing.
With bounding steps the antelope
Springs lightly down the mountain slokes
To verdant plains the bison hieA;
The eagle mounts the morning skies,
And all the birds are mating.
With life and joy all things are bright:
Come forth, my love, my souls delight;
Thy wigwam 8 folds throw wide apart!
For thee, oh, dear and tender heart,
Thy lover true is waiting.
e. M. Allen.
