Facts to Ponder.

In all the history of progressive Ia
Dor never has this class been so favor
ably situated, both as to employment
remuneration and accumulated sur
pluses, as at the present day, the only
cases of idleness being the result Of
strikes from an overeagerness to obtain
greater remuneration than conditions
Justify In fact, this is the only cloud
that darkens the most prosperous day
labor has ever known.
Never was the character of the coun-
try's exports, both agricultural and
manufactured, so diversified as it is
today, and never have our exports
reached as many markets as now. The
markets of the orient and those of our
new possessions have never presented
so promising and growing future.
Never was there time when the me-
tallic resources of the country could
compare with the present, when the
accumulation of gold and silver eX-
ceeded in their totals all records of
this or any other country.-Schenectady

A Question of Jurisdiction.

Since the departure of Mayor Simpson
for Atlantic City Justice William IL.
Nav has presided in the Police Court.
This has given rise to sundry specula-
tions as to whether or not the justice has
jurisdiction in certain cases which come
before the Police Court, it being con-
tended by some that in the absence OF
the Mayor. none save the President OF
the Board of Aldermen or President OF
the Common is empowered to execute
CITY ordinances save in certain cases
where it is specially stated that the
Mavor or any Justice of the Peace
can sit in judgment. Mr.. Samuel u.
Brent. Commonwealth Attorney, who
has looked up the law concerning the
matter today gave the following as his
official opinion
William II. May, as Justice of the Peace
for the city of Alexandria. has right TO try
ali misdemeanOrs that may be brought Deiere
him for trial aud 10 examine for all cases OF
felony. He has no authority, however, TO try
anv person for the violation of city ordi-
nance unless the ordinance expressly author
Ives him so 10 do. There are very few ordi.
nances of the city under which Justice OF
the Peace is authorized to impose the penalty
provided in the ordinance. The ordinance
smnosing a penalty for an assault and battery
.Ynressly provides that it shall be recoverable
hefoye the Mayor and in this case 1t is clear
that Mr.. Nav would have no jurisdiction, al
tbough am informed he has imposed two or
three fines under this ordinance.
