a DISAPPOINTING REFoRMER

One OF the reformers whom the other
reformers have grown very tired of is
Judge Gaynor of Brooklyn. 1t will
be remembered that the Judge who was
then plain Mr.. Gaynor, first came promi-
nently before the public in connection
with Boss McKane's attempt to stuff the
ballot boxes with fraudulent votes down
in Gravesend. So much vim did he show
in that case that the New York Mug
wumps fell in love with him and it was
cause of deep regret to them that he
was not selected as the Democratic can
didate for governor instead of Senator
Hill But the Mugwump, astute person
though he be, is not infallible and the
estimate he put on Gaynor he has since
seen abundant reason for lowering very
much. The first shockSthat Gaynor gave
them was his opinion in the Brooklyn
strike case when his law didn't ac-
cord with their notions at all and there
fore was all wrong, for whatever does
not accord with a Mugwump's ideas must
of necessity be wrong But he has given
them still worse shock in granting a
stay for Inspector Mclaughlin, recently
convicted pf receiving bribes. Anent this
decision the New York Post declares that
Gaynor evidently thinks he is the regu-
lator of the moral universe; that his
/ reasoning is drawn not from the litera ture
of the law but from the work of some
| humolist; that, like Gov. Altge Id, he is
suffering from the mania known as "be-
ing the friend of the people;' and other
things equally uncomplimentary Mug
wump criticism is not always just, some
times it is very unjust hut perusal OF
Judge Gaynor's opinion in the McLaugh-
| lin case does leave the impression that he
has given utterance to an uncommon
| amount of nonsense. One would guess
| that he was candidating for call from
some peoples political convention,

tention as is likely to be forthcoming.
Many cases are recorded of engineers run
ming their trains for long distances when
they were asleep A few seconds of
doing would have been sufficient to
cause this disaster, for from the time
the signal came into sight until it was
passed must have been very brief. 1t
seems to be agreed on all hands that the
engineer was one of the most competent
on the road and had the best of records
1t is unlikely that a man of that kind if
he had been in the full possession Of his
faculties would have been guilty of the
gross carelessness Of failing to see or
of disregarding the danger signal
The Portland daily press., 1895-07-11

The Illinois bureau Of labor statistics
has just issued advance sheets of an ap-
pendix to the coal report, which is deyot-
ed to the coal miners strike of 1894 In
formation was obtained from 276 mines
and it appears that the strike affected 25,
207 men and that the average number of
days lost per man was IA. 1t should
be stated, however, that the strike oc-
Cured during the dull season. and it is
estimated that more than half that time
would have been lost in any event, even
if there had been no labor trouble. An
effort to form an accurate estimate of
the number of days lost on account of the
strike was made by taking the average
number of days the miners worked during
the six preceding years as a basis for
comparison, with the result that the loss
was fixed at 33. 6 per man, total of 846, =
955 days It is believed that the 9nen were
earning, on an average 50 per day, so
that the money loss suffered by each
striker was S6720. the aggregate being

The general opinion of the New York
newspapers seems to be that the enforce
ment OF the Sunday liquor law is I'm
popular and will lead to change in the
statute. The New York Post, however,
seems inclined to think otherwise. 1t saws
that if yotei were taken it would be
by no means certain to result in favor of
the open shop. Both the Protestant and
Catholic churches oppose it, and great
many poor people are glad of the closing,
since it keeps them from the temptation

There seems TO be no doubt but the re-

the Grand Trunk road rests entirely upon
the engineer of the moving train, but the
cause of his failure to recognize and

that there was danger ahead must always
remain & matter of speculation, inasmuch
as he was, one of the victims of the ter

The Supreme Court of South. Carolina
has lodged the question of the constitu-

claring that it has no jurisdiction. AS the
majority of the court are appointees of

so ahead and declare the law constitu-
tional, which would have pleased Till
man better than this evasion. The only
JUICE on the bench whom Tillman did
net appoint declares not only that the
court has jurisdiction but also that the
law is clearly unconstitutional. But his
opinion counts for nothing, and there

FJoseph Gagnon, one of four men by

suit against Gilman M. Deering of the
firm of Deering Bros for damages on
account of injuries received by contact
with live electric wire on Main street,
Saco near the lot where Deering Bros.
are erecting their new building. The
accident for which the action is
threatened occurred on the morning of
Saturday, June 80. While erecting the
derrick upon the lot of the Messrs Deer
ing at the corner of Main street and Pep
perrell square, where the new building is
to be built, it was necessary to string one
of the guy wires over the electric Car
wires. In doing SO the weight of the
heavy derrick wire bro ought the electric
guy wires in contact with the trolley
wires, and as result it is said the wire
became charged with electricity. :The
strain upon the small wires was so great
that one of them gave szay and fell to the
ground. Joseph Gagpon, it is alleged,
ceiyed severe shock so that he was
knocked down.

There was a lively breeze in the Boston
School committee over the selection of a
man for truant officer. There
was no question of the candl-
dates ability or fitness for the
position, but he had been guilty of the
heinous offence of delivering a lecture
before the Loyal Women of Boston. This
brought down upon his head the maledic-
tions of two members of the committee
named Gallivan and Huggan. Never
theless he was elected by a vote s6f
ten to four. We presume if the Pr0tes-
tant members of the board had refused to
vote for him because he had lectured be-
fore the Ancient Order of Hibernians
they would have been accused of bigotry.
But there is no bigotry in refusing to vote
for him because he had lecturcd before
