THE SUPERIOR COURT.

From the Plttsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
There is some absurd talk about repeal
ing the act OF the last legislature estah-
fishing the Superior court of Pennsy'ra-
mia. 1t is not stated who will have the
temerity among legislators to Introduce
such bill, but that the rash and senssiess
impulse will meet with the strong disap-
probation of the great majority can easily
be prophesed. This court has taken
away about half the cases from the Su-
preme court, and the findings have l..et
with a surprising degree OF acceptance.
Very little grumbling Is heard on the part
of ltigants. There was AT first, naturally.
some indisposition to take the Superior
courts decisions as final, but this has
melted away with the observation that
these were based upon adequate and just
conceptions. The general pubic takes
It as blessing of great value that the
prompt dispatch OF legal business Is thus
assured, and also that the more thorough
consdera tion which the removal Of prea-
sure insures, enables the Supreme court 10
strike at some evils disclosed by the oper-
alton Of our laws with more force and csr-
tainty.

An affidavit is in evidence from the
Captain Edmund Dunn above referred
to in which the substance Of the fore
going testimony is corroborated. with
the qualification that Dunn claims he
and some friends, instead Of Wanna
maker, furnished the money. That
that qualification is unimportant will
be doubted by few who have had prac-
tioal experience in politics, and who
therefore know that rarely does cam

disbursement of his fund
Our point with reference to Mr.. Wan-
amaker is simply this. In our judg-
ment he pretends to be better than he
is. We are not disposed to take him at
his own valuation when we believe
that that greatly overrates his real
worth. We consider him an inferior
and unfit candidate for United States
senator, and therefore we oppose him.
We do not defame him unless it be
defamation to put in evidence sworn
testimony relating to his political
methods. We do not seek to elevate
Penrose by pulling Wanamaker down.
We merely insist that before the hue
and cry is permitted to extinguish Pen
rose politically the public shall UNDER
stand the true character OF those who
raise it. If those men profess to be
Christians and instigate or counte-
nance the circulation against an oppo-
nent of malicious stories unsupported
by any vestige of evidence and denied
by their victim under oath, Is II an unr
warranted conclusion in the Judgment
of fair-minded men that they are hypo-
critics, who. instead of posing as models
Of righteousness. should hang their
heads In shame?

A NEW TRICK.
How Some Willy Pake Law Breakers
Tried to Fool the Police.

Ten Chinese were arraigned before
Judge De la Vergne this morning.
They were arrested four days ago for
gambling and had been out on bail
since. One of the men arrested bore
the name of All Yau. But another All
Yau appeared before the judge. The
new man was challenged, but stuck
out that he was the right All Yau. A
long examination was held The man
in court was adiudged not the All Yau
arrested by the police and was ord
cred to show cause why he should not
be punished for contempt The bail
of the original All Yau was declared
forfeited.
The scheme is a new one and has
perhaps never been tried here before.
Had the trick worked the officers who
made the arrest could not have proved
anything against Nh Gau No. >, and
he would have had an incontrovertible
defense. which must have released
No. 1. All the other men, who were
unquestionably cognizant of the con
spiracy, pleaded not guilty of gambl-
ing. They will be heard later on the
matter.
