WE'RE MIsGIvINGs.

The experiment Of an elective judiciary was
tried with many msgivings on the part Of con.
servative minds as to the probable results. When
1t was seen how often elective offices were
through indifference partisan impulse un.
worthly filled, II was feared that the judiciary
might become the prize Of self seeking incompe
tency or the reward Of debasing political activity
It is only fair 10 say that the result has in few
cases justified the fear However Indifferent and
blind the people may be in the filling Of other
Offices in everything which closely affects the
pure administration Of Justice they have uniform.

and Jealous. In fact, the same spirit obtains in
the filling Of all offices which directly concern the
administration Of Justice has recently been
most forcby illustrated among us.
II is unnecessary for me to enlarge upon the
gifts and virtues Of the original Of this portrait
His eulogy has been fttingly and feelingly pro-
nounced both here and elsewhere. The ripe fruit
Of his labors is perpetuated in the files Of the
court and the books of report. The sentiments
Of his professional brethren have found early
expression and are engrossed upon the records
Of the court, and his memory is enshrined in all
our hearts.
Judge Archibald, in closing the exer-
cises, spoke as follows:
1t is with a sad satisfaction that we see this
picture OF our late Judge Gunster hung upon
our walls. Here was his last work in this com.
munity, although he filed many honorable posi-
tions in it, and by that work he will be best
remembered and known. But memory is so
trcacherous and hCetng that which a man
has been so passes out of the remembrance Of all
that it is most fitting in every way possible to
keep him in remembrance. And no better way
can there be than by ifelike picture such as
this is that will call him constantly up, and as
we see the familiar features here present with us
we can recall the many things that we remember
so pleasantly of him. Let it have a place, then,
here on our walls and in our memory perpetuate
the record Of an able, just and upright judge,

FLOUR INSPECTION.
MIR. Chas. Schneider Criticfses the
Present Law Strongly.


Present Law Strongly.
Mr. Charles Schneider, president of the
Charles Schneider Baking Company. has ap-
neared before the House District committee
in opposttion to an amendent. and In fact,
TO argue against the whole fabric OF the
hill approyed December 81. 1893. providing
for and regulating the inspection OF hour
in the District of Columbia The amend
ment is to section g. which prescriees the
method to be employed by the inspectors In
the performance of their work. 1t has al
ready been passed by the Senate. Mr..
Schneider desired to present to the commit
tee the impracticability of the act as ne
claims, in its present form, and to suggest
remedies to the entire measure. He was
confined. however, to the amendment propo-
sition entirely.
"The act was passed." says Mr.. Schnei-
der. without the knowledge of hardly any
one When I addressed the chairman OF
the House District committee on the mat
fer he replied that there had been no op-
lection whatsoever to the measure. l soio
him such was fact. because the people
and the bakers were IN Ignorance oh inc

"Ostensibly prepared for the protection or
the people, the act is made cover to the
very frauds of which the people complain
Furthermore, believe the law to be uncon-
stitutional in many Of its phases. For In
stance it attempts to fix the exact size OF
barrels and the precise number OF pounds
each barrel or half-barrel shall contain.
The law is so specific in this respect that
the inspectors, to be correct In their work.
would have to empty each barrel ana Welgn
the contents and the receptacle separately.
These show the measure to be practlcaiiy
impossible of enforcement

in warehouses totally unfit for the purpose.
Here 1t lies where rats and reaches abound

Immediately connected with the place, until

sour, The iniquity of the act Is found In
section ID, which says that all flour blended
in the~District shall not be liable to a sec
ond inspection; but the inspectors of -four
shall, free Of charge, brand barrels and
half barrels or sacks of such -four with a
mark designating the grade or quality of
the same.
1.-THE wording is ridiculous; for how in
the world could the inspector pass upon the
quality Of blended flour without inspect
ing it after the blending process. So 1t will
be seen there Is absolutely nothing In the
act to prevent dealers here from blending
and mixing all kinds of hours that have
been contaminated in their unfit warehouses
and branding the same as q pure product.

IN CHESS CIRCLES.

1t has been proposed by member Of the
Chess Club to start a novel contest among
the local players. He proposes to offer a
prize to him who, in a set contest, best
sizes up the progress Of the game in its
offensive and defensive phases. He would
be expected to give the reasons Of his
moves. to indicate the line or lines Of play
most likely in his opponent and to note
when he has missed his most telling move.

Current Notes Regarding the Ma
tionaI Game.
NEWS OF THE CHESS BOARD

kid" Mccoy had an easy time in de-
feating Dan" Creedon last night at the
Broadway Athletic Club, New York. The
latter's seconds threw up the sponge in the
sixth round. after Creedon had been sent
to the floor with a left hook on the jaw.
The fight was scheduled for twenty-five
rounds at 15S pounds. Mccoy was in the
pink of condition, while his opponent looked
fat 1t was evident as soon as the battle
began that Creedon was clearly outclassed.
The first round started with Mccoy feint-
ing. showing clever foot work. Creedon got
a left to the stomach. and Mccoy reta'iated
with several jabs in the face and body. In
the second round Creedon was inclined to
fight at close quarters. He landed twice on
his opponents head. Mccoy jabbed and
tried hard to reach his rivals jaw, but
Creedon defended it with high guard.
Creedon received a left on the body, and
he was tired when the gong ended the
round
In the following round Mccoy began again
jabbing his right to the wind. He tried
again for the jaw and missed. A left hook
over Creedon's eye brought blood. and an
other on the jaw sent him to the floor. He
arose quickly. and the round ended with
clnch.
In the fourth round Creedon co1nered
Mccoy and swung hard left to the body.
Mccoy returned a left hook to Creetlons
eye. Creedon tried some vicious swings in
the fifth round. but missed. Mccoy coun-
tered with his left on the body.
In the sixth round it was evident that
Mccoy intended to end the fight IN a quick
manner. He jabbed his left to the face. and
followed with his right to the head. He
then forced Creedon around the ring but
Creedon sent MIN away with right swing
to the neck. Mccoy came back Immediately
with right to the body. and then hooked his
left to the jaw. sending Creedon to tns
floor. His seconds. seeing he was done for,
SO0nRa 6a-
cl&red the winner. The time of the round
was thirty-four seconds.
