THREAT TO PACK THE BENCH.

AS the outcome of the strike III
Brooklyn the labor leaders who had
charge now declare their intention to
organize n labor party, partly to pun
ish Tammany Hall for permitting the
police force to keep order and beat
back the rioters, and partly for bun
combe.
Any body Of men has a RICH. to or
ganize a new party, and groups of dis
satisfied citizens are doing 50 every
year. The managers of the proposed
labor party IN New York seem to have
come to the conclusion that it Will not
pay to nominate a complete ticket
hence it is suggested to hold labor
convention tomorrow in New York
to nominate candidates for judicial Of
fees only They are going upon the
theory that If they can pack the bench
they can secure decisions upon labor
questions to suit themselves-that
probably, they can elect judges who
will smile upon rioting and the de-
struction of property, and who would
refuse to hear cases brought against
men accused of offenses against the
law committed in the name Of labor
unions.
If the labor leaders attempt anything
of that sort they will be giving them
selves another blow. The proposition
is absurd, but it has already raised
some newspaper discussion. Such
things have been done before to a linn
tted extent During the reign of
Tweed he had judges that he owned
body and soul, yet he and his follow
ers did not escape the punishment
they deserved. We do not have - go
back, however, as far as the time of
Tweed. 1t was only at the last cleo
ton in New York tina. Tammany Hall
rejected a judge whose only offense
was that, being a beneficiary Of Tam
many votes, he declined to be gov
erned by Tammany in the perform
ance of his judicial duties. Tammany
Hair named a man of its own selec- |
ton and presumably with the under
standing that he was to do as Boss
one of the kind who was elected upon
such a theory If Tammany Hall, by |
the admission of its leader, seeks to
pack the bench for the use and behoof |
Of its own members why should moi !
the labor organizations seek to do the |
same thing? The cdium is not so
much upon Tammany Hall and the |
labor organizations as it is upon law |
yers who would permit the use of their |
names under tie admission that they |
were to be nominated elected if |
possible-to do certain things for a |
certain body Of men and without any |
regard for the law and the evidence.

THE HATLESS WOMEN.

The primeval custom of going about
without hats is being revived among
women. and to an immense extent.

and Chestnut streets any evening you
will notice." Philadelphia writer
says. that four out of every five OF
all the legion of women, spinning by on

this does the wearing the hat out of
doors have the effect popularity accred-
tied to it when done in the house? And
do people generally believe ii? Or do
the women want to give q fair show
of the work of the hairdTesSer? Or do
they only want TO b as little warm as
nossible?"

The appointments of Elihu Root to
tlle cabinet is but enc of a notable list
of splendid selections for public hon
ors and duries which will make the
Mckinley administration forever note
worthy. 1t is only necessary to cite
the names of Gage! Wilson. Griggs,
Bliss, Sherman, Day, Hitchcock, DIR.
Sehurman. Prof. Worcester, Dr. Seth
Low, DIR. Andrew d. While, Gen.
Wheeler and Gen. Lee to recall a
much longer list of men chosen with
no regard to their political power ard
only to their fitness and representative
character To charge that a President
making such appointments is not con
cerned for the welfare of the civil ser
vice is as ridiculous as j. is false. And
it all proves the genuine greatness of
William Mckinley that he can call I'M
to his counsel ard aid these eminent
men and still lose none of his potential
individuality thereby.

FIVE THOUSAND
Dollars Asked in Damages By a
Timer.

Attorneys Underwood & Ludey filed
a case in Common Pleas Court Satur-
day afternoon entitled Josiah W. Reit-
erman VS.. Edward ]. Lobdell.
The petition sets forth that Reiter-
man is an expert timer, and was sent
here by his employers, Messrs, Force
& Briggs, who paid him $500 per day
for his time at work for them, to do
the tin work on Lobdell's factory,
then in course of construction.
After the work was done, Mr.. Reiter-
man returned to Pittsburg and when
Mr.. Loodell was sent a bill for the
work, he wrote Me5srs. Force & Briggs
the contractors, that rheir man had
taken rivets and solder worth $40
without consulting anyone and he
would deduct The amount from the bill,
hoping it would be satisfactory to
them.
This letter, Mr.. Reitarman alleges,
vas the cause of him being discharged
from rhe employ Of Force & Briggs,
and also caused him after being idle
some time, to accept a job at much low
er wages. He therefore asks that the
court allow him $4,000 damages for the
injury TO his character, reputation and
business.

tention was attracted by some very
loud talk which was much more not
a-.e on account of its vulgarlty and
profanity than on account of its man
illness and common sense. The lang
uage used did not disconcert me SER
iously. Whether 1t Is because | have
heard so much Of it or am naturally
less sensitive to it than some with
whom am acquainted, do not know;
but aside from regret that men often
become unnecessarily profane and de-
tract from their own manhood, | can
let very sulphurous language "go in
at one ear and out at the other" and
soon forget it. On this particular oc-
clsion, however, was not the only one
compelled to hear the ungentlemanly
language in which the bosterious
speakers were ndulging. At the very
moment that my attention was attracted
to lem a number of ladies of refine
ment were passing by and b" their SEN
sitive natures the rough words were
akin to daggers of the keenest and
deadliest sort. l have witnessed but
few such occurrences here and / hope
they are rare. But few men given to
profanity ever use profane language in
the presence of their mothers, wives or
daughters. | have often wondered
whV IL is thCv manifest so much and
such commendabe self-control in the
presence of members of their own
households; and Uhen often manifest so
ht,!c in the presence of Others. / pre-
sumo the latter is que to thoughtless-
ness and so raise the question whether
or not it is true that there are times
when being thoughtless is little short
of being criminal? ALFRED.

A Good Suggestion.

A reliable farmer friend called in
Saturday, and the talk turned on coun-
try roads. In the course OF the con-
versation this friend said that right
within the corporate limits of the city
was street" which was as hard or
even worse piece of ground to get
over than he was accustomed 10 travel
In the country. The street he referred
to is Fort street, which from the upper
bridge to the corporation line is very
much worse than the country roads
above.
The gentleman suggests that the
street bs seiaped and crowned--which
suggestion would seem to be a good
one.
There certainly would seem to be no
Just reason for this city street to be
worse than the country road above
town. where practically the same

OIL TOWN FIRE.
Piney Fork, West Virginia, Totally
DESTROYED,

Parkersburg, w. Va, March 49,
Piney Fork, an oil town in the back
part of Wetzel county, was wiped off
the earth early this morning by fire.
All the hotels, seventeen dwelling
houses and every store in the town
were completely burned and This after
noon nothing was left but a few small
shacks to mark what was yesterday
lhe liveliest oil town in the interior of
the state.
The loss is placed at $4,000, although
the damage can not as yet be estimat-
el.
The heaviest losers are G. II. Tray
nor & Bros. merchants, who had
large store there and carried about
$4,000 worth of goods.
The town was made up of small
frame houses ana stores, ard all built
compactly together. No protection
from fire was to be had as there is no
fire department there and when the fire
broke out 1T had to run its course.
No telephone connection can be had
as the lines are ali down, but the ru-
NOR was verified a, the South Penn
ii Co. office.
1t is not known yet whether any
persons We're killed or injured, but
with All the hotels burned and the fire
occurring after midnight, it is prob
able there were some injured at least.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but e. is thought an over pressure of
gas in some of the stores caused it,
Those burned out by the fire are liv-
ingin improvised huts in the --elds
around the town.

stood for progress, enterprise, equal
rights before the law, and its officers
elected by popular vote have stood
high, been on the side of good govern

once in Marietta and see if its ancient
traditions will not be verified in the
conduct of the business of this city.

was increased IL per cent, but it began
