MAY VOTE FOR SIX JUDGES
PennSylvania'S Supreme Court Decides
an Important Question.
JUSTICE DEAN DELIVERS AN OPINION
Justices sterret and Williams Dissent-The
Decision Reverses the Judgment of the
Dauphin County Court Declaring
the Law Unconstitutional.

PITTsBURG, Oct. 18-Justice Dean, Of
the supreme court, has decided in long
and elaborate opinion that the act Great
ing the new superior court is legal, re-
versing the Judgment of the Dauphin
county court, and deciding that six judges
may be voted for. Chief Justice Sterritt
and Justice Williams dissent.
The point on which the decision turns is
whether the legislature was prohibited by
the constitution from putting any limita-
tion on the power of voters electng judges
of the superior court. There are seven can
didates to be voted for, and the legislature
has declared that no votor shall vote for
more than six. This the court holds the
legislature has a right to do. The consti-
tutional provision that voters "shall be
entitled TO vote at all elections" cannot
under any reasonable Interpretation in
clude an absolute right to vote for every
candidate of "a group of candidates for the
same office
The constitution establishes limited
voting in the election of supreme court
judges, county commissioners, Philadel-
phia magistrates and inspectors of cleo
tion; therefore, it is argued, the implica-
tion is that the plan is excluded i'm the
election of all other officers But the lin
lted voting plan was recognized and adop-
ted in the constitution because it was
deemed wise that as to the offices non-par-
tisan in character or which at least
should be- the minority party ought to
have representation, and this could only
be attained by limited voting. In the
cases specified the constitution is man

their homes to get coal to store away for the
winter. The people Of Turkey Run have
been getting their fuel from that source for
years and have mined the breaches on scien-
titic principles, timbering and taking other
precautions for safety as they progressed
with the excavations. They were evidently
not careful enough in this respect last night.
McAlee had secured sufficient coal for his
own use some weeks ago and his presence in
the breach last night was due only to the
kindness Of his heart in assisting his friend
and neighbOr, Mr. Sunderland who is unable
to do the work unassisted, having lost leg

the earth above him broke away and buried
him under seven feet of coal, dirt and stone.
The place was soon surrounded by weeping
relatives and friends. Willing hands were
soon at work and after four hours of hard
labor the lifeless form was removed from the
mine. Death was due to suiIocation

CHEAP LAND MAKING,

The Mississippi Is Doing a Work That
 Would Cost Many Millions.
 The Mississippi has in the course of ages transported from the mountains and high land within its drainage area sufficient material to make 400, 900 square miles of new land by filling up an estuary which extended from its orig inal outfall to the Gulf of Mexico for a length of 800 miles, and In width from 30 to 40 miles.
 The river is still pouring solid matter into the gulf, where it is spread out in a fan-ltke shape over @ coast line of a5O miles, and is filling 1t up at the rate of S62,OO0,O0O tons a year. or seventy times as much soil as was removed in the con struction of the Manchester ship canal, and sufficient to make a square mile of new land, allowing for it's having to fill up the gulf to a depth of eighty yards.
 Some idea of the vastness of this oper- alton may be conceived when the fact is considered that some of this soil has to be transported more than 5000 miles, kand that if the whole of 1t had to be car rted in boats at the lowest rate at which heavy material is carried on the finland waters of America, or, say for 1-5 of a cent per ton per mile over an average of half the total distance, the cost would be no less sum than $1 $40 000 900 a year.
 Through the vast delta thus formed the. river winds its way, twisting and turning by innumerable bends until it extends Its length to nearly 12,O00 miles. or more than double the point to point length of the delta; continually eroding the banks In one place and building up land in another, occasionally breaking its way across a narrow neck which lies between the two extremities, and filling up the old channel

The Austrian Government Attaoked.

Vienna, Nov. 16.-In the lower house of the reichstrath today the anti-SemiteS and clericals violently attacked the gov ernment for dissolving the Vienna mu- nicipal council owing to the reelection of Dr. Lueger, the noted anti-Semite leader in the reichstrath as burgomaster and contended that the governments ac- tion was illegal. sCount Badeno, the prime minister; Herr Gleispach, minis ter of justice, and Herr Ledebur Michel minister of agriculture, justified the measure, which was also supported by one conservative. The prominent fiber als. Kopp, Suess and Menger, also de- tended the legality of the governments S action contending that after pr. Leu gers demagogic activity it was impossi- ble that he could be fitted to fill the office of burgomaster
 Dr. Leuger made a lengthy response. His language was ironical and aggres- sive, following the keynote of "if l had tolerated the robberies of great capital ists nobody could have raised objection to my selection for the office. but because I desire to defend the independence of the people I am deemed incapable of holding the office."
 He concluded by making vehement attack upon the Hebrews and Magiars. The crowd in the public galleries ap- plauded pr. Leuger with frenzy.

Comparison of Cotton Prices.
Memphis Commercial Appeal.


 A great deal is being said about the .''high" price of cotton in connection with the money question. A great many ad- vocates of the gold standard do not scru- pie to claim that the increased price of cotton is blessing conferred upon the cotton grower by the monetary system they espouse. They boldly proclaim that free silver cannot live with cotton sell ing at SR cents pound. It occurs to us, however, that an increased price brought about by @ shortage of about 30OO. 900 bales in the crop is not thing to be made the subject of very loud boasting, especially if it appears that the price after all does not make a very favorable comparison with that of pre- vious years and larger crops. What the cotton growers would like to have Is a good price for full crop The crop for this year is estimated at about 6,50O,000 bales, more or less. The price in New York is less than cents. This is less than the price in 1891 Commercial year), when the crop was S.652.000 bales. In 1881 the crop was 6,600,000 bales and the price 11.34 cents;. in 1888 1t was nearly i, ,000, 900 bales. and the price was 1063 cents; in 1888 it was 7.046.000 bales and the price was 10.27 cents; In 1890 it was In the meanwhile population has been in creasing and demand and consumption growing steadily. It requires vastly more cotton to supply the world in 1895 than 1t did in 1881 or than 1t did even five years agos A crop of 6600,0 900 bales in 1881 was vastly greater when Compared with the deffiand. than crop of like size in 1895. after fifteen years of increasing popula- tjnn and demand.
