of Mining Stock Exchange in Chicago,
is now an assured fact. John Mayo
Palmer, incorporation counsel, who has
been prominent in the formation of the
exchange, says that 135 members had
subscribed, and that Immediate steps
would be taken toward the establishment
of a board.
The scope of the enterprise has been
broadened so as to include not only mines

mineral products that the board of trade
bears to AGRICULTURAL products.

This judicial District.

A new jo dicial apportionment of
the state b.as been presented to the
by the judicial apportion-
ment committee. Our district is
propos ed to be changed by attaching
Montcur to Northumberland, and
uniting Wyoming, Sullivan and Col
umbia in new district. This re-
stores US to the original district that
was presided over by Judge Elwell
when he first came upon the bench
We are not sufficiently acquainted
with the law to know what effect
this change may have upon the pres
ent presiding judge. We presume
however that Montour will at once
become part of Judge Savage's
district and Judge Ikeler will con :
tinue to preside over tho courts Of
Columbia county until his term ex-
pires four years hence, when he will
retire and Judge Dunham of Sulli-
van or Judge Sittser Of Wyoming
(who is contesting his scat) and
whose term began January 1, 1895
will become president judge of the
whole district including Columbia
and Judge lkeler will retire to the
practice of his profession. Such q
change as this in the district would
relieve us of mud singing cam,
paign in 1893 which every one can
only anticipate with regret. Blooms
