Death Of CHIEF Justice orton.

Harlow S. Orton. chief justice of
the Supreme court of Wisconsin. who
has been in failing heath for the past
seven months. expired Yesterday at
his residence in Madison. The cause
Of his death was extraordinary. as it
is stated TO have been a cancer which
originated in an abrasion on his nose
from wearing spectacles. This little
circumstance goes To show the possi-
bilities Of death from cause the most
unexpected and the most Slight. Chief
Justice Orion was in his seventv-eigh-
tn year and had been on the Supreme
bench for seventeen years. His ten
ure would have not have ended until
January /, 1898, had not his career
been so suddenly cut off by untimely
death,
The people in Wisconsin will have
reason TO regret the decease of their
chief Justice, because he was an able,
a faithful and an upright Judge. He
combined the unusual and compre-
hensive qualities of not only being II
great jury LAWYER, but also a wise and
impartial Judge. Before he was ele-
waited to the Supreme bench he was
recognized as n OF the most eloqu-
ent and successful jury lawyers in the
state. Some persons feared on ac-
count OF his earnest and impressive
temperament hat he might not sue
eeed in the areopagus of the state,
but he justified the confidence of his
friends and proved himself equal to
the new responsibility d~evolving up-
on him. He was lucid, earnest and
vigorous in what he had 10 say. and
some Of his curt, crisp sentences viii
be handed down rs the apothegms Of
a strong and versatile mind.
Harlow l.. Orion was a Democrat.
but nota partisan. and he evinced his
his judicial superiority and imparti-
ality in the two famous gerrvmander
cases before the Supreme court. Like
a fair man and 4 true Judge. he unc-
quivocallv took grounds against the
action of the Democratic party in the
Legislature. which, he held. had dis
tricted the state IN violation Of the
constitution aud of natural Justice
His exposition Of the Injustice az gerry
ma .ering legislation has given him q
niche in the temple Of Wtsconsin's
great l~urists.
As an evidence Of the incorruptibil-
ity Of his character, the people will
not forget THAI though he has been

1t has been definitely decided to hav,
a bull fight at the Cotton States anG
international Exposition. 1t will be
given in the Mexican village on the
grounds.
A letter from the concessionaire Just
received gives the following discrip-
ton which indicates that this feature
will rival The Wild West show as a
drawing card. The arena will be ar
ranged in the regular way and a full
troupe OF b~ull-fghters in Mexico. with
a supply of trained horses and of the
finest bulls will be brought to Atlanta.
1t will be an exact reproduction of the
famous bull fights of Spain with one
exception-the bulls horns will be
padded that he can do no damage.
The horses will likewise be protected
by embossed leather shields so that
whole can be carried on without
the slightest cruelty or a bit more
bloodshed than is seen at a Wild West
show.
The troupe will all be dressed in the
most picturesque and beautiful cos
tunes. After the bull is let into the
arena the picadors. on horseback, will
enter and display all the scientific
bravery that makes bull fighting inter-
esting sport. All the interesting and
beautiful move with capes, in fact all
the skill that can be shown in the
cape-play will be exhibited. So well
trained are the horses thatthev enlude
the most furious charges of the bull.
When the bugle sounds again. the pic
adors retire and the banderillas come
in. 1t is their task to stick flags on the
bull and decorate him for his funeral.

rel ~.Judgship

The death of Chief Justice Orion
leaves a vacancy in the Supreme
Court to be filled by appointment by
the governor. According to law
Judge Cassidy will become chief JUS
tice and the e appointee will be as
sociate justice.
In making his selection Gov. Up
ham should consider the fitness and
availability OF Judge Clementson for
the position. b. learning, native abil-
ity and experience he is e%minently
fitted for the place. The handsome
vote he received at the last election in
the face Of organized and determined
opposition and the extraordinary ma
iority in his cilcuit are proof OF
the confidence the people place in him.
We believe his appointment would
meet almost universal approval. Gov.
Upham could not 10 a wiser thing
nor serve the state more efficiently
than by appointing Judge George
Clemenrson 10 the supreme judgeship
of the state of Wisconsin.

The Water WORKS issue

The question to be settled next
Tuesday is not whether the Griswold
spring. the Day spring, or wells consti-
tute the best supply for a system q
water-works for Lancaster. The reaI
question is: Shall we bond the city
to the extent of $4,000 for the pur-
pose of building some system Of water
" orks. If the question is settled in
the affirmative then the relative mcr-
its of the different plans a be care
fully examined.
The council have made ample in
vestigation to prove the purity and
sufficiency OF the Griswold spring.
Their estimate of expense does not
UGH exceed $24 900. II we want
water works we know that the Girls
void spring will supply us abundant
ly.
There are those who favor the Day
spring west of town. 1t has a magnif-
cent flow, probably equal to or great
er than the Griswold spring.
Its water seems to be OF equa
purity, and it is of easy access.
If the citizens of Lancaster vote in
favor OF water-works, then it will
be order TO consider the advan-
tages Of the Day spring, 1t is a waste
of energy to argue about the relative
value of the two spings if the people of
the city do not want water from either
of them. The same thing may be
said of the proposition to get water
from wells. If that is the best plan
and it lean be shown to be SO, an affirm
ative vote next Tuesday will not
interfere with It.
Lancaster has been talking water
works for a long time The time to
vote on the question is nearly at hand.
There ought to be a full and free ex-
preston Of opinion on the main prop
position:-For water-works by the best
plan available, or Against any system
of w~ater-works. That IS the issue.
