Judge Little is not disappointing
the expectations of his friends, nor
giving those who were opposed to
him opportunity for criticism, by
the manner in which he presides in
Court. He listens with patience,
presides with dignity, and decides
promptly and fearlessly, so far as
there has been occasion, and the
License Court is probably the most
trying occasion for a new Judge, as
it always is for an older one.

A NEW GENERATION.

Hence a new world. "Old things
are passed away, behold all things
are become new" Within the re-
collection of every individual, at the
age of sixty, way back in his youth;
the class Of people who were then
moving up and down the thorough
fares of every department of bust
ness life, in each and every COM
munity, throughout the length and
breadth of the inhabitable globe,
scarcely any person can recall
single individual, as relic of the
by-gone generation. All have
passed away, and another genera
ton at the brink of departure, ready
to step down and out oflife's arena;
while young and vigorous genera
tion is just assuming the affairs of
the world, endeavoring to solve the
problem of the final destiny of man.
kind in regard to the enslavement,
or, ultimate liberty for the worlds
future inhabitants. Can we believe
that the generation in the immedi-
ate footsteps of the preceding gener-
alton they are now crowding out
of the worlds activities, will make
the progress in every direction, that
their fathers have made? 1t does
seem not possible within the scope
of imaginary vision that bounds the
horizon of the human intellect. And
to doubt such an ability, or possibil-
ity, would challenge the weakness,
inferiority and incompetency of a
stronger and more vigorous genera
ton, who have had superior advan-
tages i'll every way than their fathers
have had. Will they do what we,
of our generation did, tear down
what their fathers built up, and
build up anew Will they so change
the topography of the community
that Grip Vanwinkle would not
know it after twenty year sleep?"
Will they so improve general and
local governments as to more and
more ameliorate the condition of the
masses. and poorer classes? Will
they add to the increasing power of
machine labor by new inventions?
Will they increase the convenience
of the masses by securing for them
free mail delivery, and in ten thou
sand other ways help mankind gen.
orally in ways and manner not now
thought of, or even dreamed of?
While all this is possible, we stand
IN awe of the fearful responsibilities
that lie at the threshold of the new
generation just entering upon the
duties of their coming day. 1t
seems as profitable betimes to take
a backward glance as to take fu-
ture look. feel sad as I look over
the community of my nativity, and
find not person contemporary with
my grandfather, and but very few
of the age of my father. And in
no community can any be found of
my grandfather's age, who are now
living and but few of my fathers
age. The place, or country of their
activity, then wilderness, inhab-
tied mostly by squatters and hut
builders, has so changed, that those
people, then living, could not now
know the place, were they permit
ted. There are but few homes, and
not one original homestead, which
are not already in the ownership
of the second and third generations.

Notes from the Penn'a. Experiment Static
Experiments in Butter MAKING.

The discovery Of the important
part played by various bacteria i'll
producing the flavor and aroma of
butter has led to the introduction of
what are known as commercial but
ter cultures, and dairymen have been
led to hope that by the use of such
cultures and of the process Of pas
turizing, the quality of their but
ter might be materially improved.
Recent trials at the Pennsylvania
Experiment Station, however, re-
ported in Bulletins No. As and No.
40, now in press, seem to indicate
that cleanliness, the careful selec-
ton of milk, and close attention to
details promise to effect more in i'm
proving the flavor of our butter than
pasteurizing and the use of CONNER
cial cultures. With pasteurized
cream, the acid forming cultures
were found to give slightly but dis
tinctly better results than were OBJ
tanned from unpasteurized cream
ripened spontaneously, while nom
acid-forming cultures give results,
if anything slightly inferior to those
obtained by spontaneous ripening.
With unpasteurized cream as might
have been expected, the results were
less marked. A homemade Start
er" however carefully prepared
from im-milk, was found to give
as good, if not better, results than
the more expensive commercial cul-
lures and this was true both with
pasteurized and with raw cream.
No distinctly beneficial results were
observed from pasteurizing, al
though the experiments were not
specially planned to test this point.
These results are similar to those
recently published by the Wisconsin
Experiment Station and the two
taken together do not seem to indi-
cate that, under present conditions,
marked advantages are to be anti
cipated from the use of the CONNER
cial cultures.
Trials were also made of heating
milk to temperature of about 165
degrees F. before separating, but
without any marked effect on the
flavoring Of the resulting butter.

NO RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
Engineer Force Busy With Projects
Already Provided For.

Washington, Dec 20.-4Chairman Bur
ton of the River and Harbor Committee,
authorized the following statement to-
day:
There win probably be no River and
Harbor Bill at the present session. One
strong argument against bill is the
fact that the engineers force will be oc-
cupied during the coming year with pro-
jects already provided for. In many
cases plans for improvements are moi
even completed. In others advertise
ments for bids have not yet been made.
Another fact of Importance is the in.
crease in the price Of material in the last
year. Some of the projects already au-
thorized cannot be completed for the
amounts estimated by the engineers. OF
course, the demands upon the Treasury
and the amount of revenue are facts to
be taken into consideration, although
do not mean to say that river and har-
bor improvements are less important
than others. 1t is only because contrary
to the usual custom the bin was passed
during the last session of the last Con-
gress. / recognize, however, that on
many accounts it is preferable that the
bin be considered at this session. There
is so large an amount of detail ana the
settlement of disputed questions arising
from amendments of the Senate make
it desirable to have plenty of time. This
is hardly possible during the short ses-
SION Also there are several projects of
urgent Importance. Among them are the
improvement of the Southwest Pass OF
the Mississippi, the deepening of the
Delaware River below Philadelphia and
the providing of further facilities in the
channels between Lake Superior and
Huron. The continuing contracts on the
Mississippi River run out June 18th.
1890. These are the arguments on both
sides, but us have said, there will prob
ably be no river and harbor bill at this
session.

LORD ROBERTS IN LONDON.
Says Reports Of Disloyalty in the Irish
Regiments Are False.

London, Dec. 20.-General Lord Rob
erts, who is TO have full command of
the British troops in South Africa, nc.
companied by Lady Roberts and their
two daughters, arrived in Loadoa this
morning, having travelled from Dublin
with Mr.. Chamberlain. Their dcpar-
ture from Dublin was marked by cheer
ing crowds, but the general made a
quiet entry into London. After going
to Il private hotel. he spent about an
hour at the War Office in consultation
with the Marquis of Iansiowne. the
Secretary OF State for War. Then
General Roberts returned TO the task Of
packing his effects and interviewing The
officers selected for his staff.
When Little Bob the beloved OF
Tommy Atkins, received a representa-
tive of the Associated Press he was
dressed in black in vivid con rast with
his snow white hair and moustdche. lis
dapper little figure was as straight rs
ever, but the eyes that have 81 often
scanned British victory were slightly
dimmed by the great personal sorrow
that has befallen him. But u spite
of this and the multitude of details that
ciaimed his attention General Roberts
willingly assented to send through the
Associated Press a parting message TO
the American people and gave the fol-
lowing statement:
circumstances naturally forbid my
speaking about the campaign ahead CT
me. except to say that / have entire
confidence in the British soldie- and that
/ believe the traditions or our army
will be upheld in South Africa.

Manila, Dec. 20-S p. m.-Major Cen
eral Lawton's body was brought from
San Mateo to Manila this afternoon, his
staff and squadron of cavalry acting
as escort. 1t was found necessary to
bridge the river
The funeral will take place from his
late residence here, mansion formerly
occupied by a Spanish general. The
body has been placed temporarily in a
vault III III Pac0 Cemetery, where many
OF the American soldiers have been in
tered, and a guard of honor will be
maintained. When Mrs. Lawton and
her four children shall have completed
their arrangements for returning to the
United States, the remains will be taken
ON a transport with an escort of Off
GERS for final interment. as is thought
probable here, in Arlington Cemetery.
General Lawton's death has caused
universal sorrow ini Manila No Ameri-
can officer had greater popularity among
all ranks and in his dealings with the
natives he commanded their respect and
confidence to remarkable degree. The
mayors whom he installed in the neigh
boring towns are arranging to attend the
funeral in a body.
To his executive ability and personal
leadership is chiefly due the brilliant ex-
ecutfon Of the plan of campaign in north
Iuz0n, which has scattered the insur-
rectionary forces from SAN Isidr0 to the
Gulf Of Lingayen. That section nfutha
island, which had to be traversed during
the very, worst season of the year, pre-
sented difficulties considered by all ac-
quainted with it to be almost insur-
nnountaIAe but General Lawton thor
oughly covered the program assigned him.
When he reached Tayug and found
that the other division had not arrived,
he went through to Dagupan ON his own
responsibility. Although he imposed
great hardships ON his men, he invariably
shared their lot cheerfully.
Thirteen Americans, including three
officers were wounded in the engage
ment mt San Mateo where General Law
ton was killed. Captain breckenridge
wound is not considered dangerous, al
though the bullet penetrated his arm
and side.
1T is estimated that the insurgents
numbered FIVE hundred and that half of
them We're armed with rifles. The Ann
erican numbered thirteen hundred. but
the command had been much depleted
by sickness.
The wagon train found the roads inn
passable and was obliged to return.
The insurgents retreated to the north
east, leaving six dead.
They have other forces near Taytay.
This region, although close to Manila. has
proved the most difficult from which to
dislodge the enemy. It is now reported
that the Insurgents intend to concentrate
at Santa Cruz. Laguna Province. and
in the district east of Laguna de Bay
