Temperance workers are engagod in a good cause, and they will no doubt bo able to accomplish much good if thoy go at it in tho right way, but thoy aro liable to mako mistakes, and ono oi theso appears in tho shape of resolu tions attacking tho court for not estab lishing prohibition in this county. If their efforts wero directed towards pro hibitory legislation, instead of asking mo court to do what Unci Juatico Agnow, himself a strong tempcranco advocate, says in an opinion of tho Supreme Court ought not to be done by tho courts, namely, rcfuso all lioonBes without causo shown, they would bo much surer of ovcntually reaching some practical result. It has been said again and again that courts are constituted to administer tho laws, not to mako them. Tho laws of tho Btato provido for tho granting of licenses, and tno courts are sworn to carry xtxt tho laws as they find them. "But," say out temperance friends, 'the matter is entirely in the discretion of the court, and it can.rofuso all licenses, if it chooses."' In' reply to this tho Supreme Court has said that the Judge who arbitrarily refuses all licenses, is not exercising judicial dis cretion. and not car r vine out tho law : that is, ho is merely enforcing his own private opinions. Were it only a mat tor of private oninion tho larro maior. ity of Judges in this stato would grant no licenses, but the law requires them in utnjiue according to mo circumstan ces of each case. When resolutions aro passed by a convention assembled as a christian body, thoy ought to stato tho exact truth, and no mistakes Bhould bo made either through ignoranco or intention, Tho impression given by theso resolu tions is that tho court "utterly disre garded them, and spoko of them as en- lltln.l tn rn ...:l,t " Wl pression of fact here that is not justifi able. After hearing the remonstrance referred to, and a long argument there on, tho associates being alone upon tho benoh stated that they had consulted with the President Judge and ho was of tho opinion that tho remonstrance, being general in its character, was not legally entitled to consideration. This opinion was based upon tho recent de cisions of tho Supremo Court in Reed's Appeal, that remonstrances shall bo particular and unless they are so they aro not to be regarded by the court. Tho remonstrances did not comply with the rules of court, nor with the law of the stato as laid down by the highest authority, and therefore it was properly rejected. Prohibition can not be secured in the manner attempt ed by tho Sunday school convention. It must bo done by legislation, and can bo brought about in no other way. Efforts to securo this result aro most commendable, and when properly di rected great good can be done by edu cating tho peoplo up to the proper stan dard, but it is intemperate temperance to seek it through a tribunal that has no power to grant it, and in a manner not in compliance with law, and then censure tho court for refusing to over rule its superior authority. I am not advocating the licenso sys tem, and I shall bail tho day with de light when tho state and nation aro emancipated from tho great ovil of in toxication. If the majority of the people of Pennsylvania shall say, when the opportunity is given them, that no intoxicating liquors shall be manufac tured or sold within tho commonwealth I shall bo content, but thero is no law now that authorizes any tribunal to establish local prohibition, and until such law is made bv the proper branch of tho state government wo raiiBt abide by the statute books. Lux. WASHINGTON LETTER From our Regular Correspondent.) Washington. D.O., June 13th, 1887. I may mention as an echo of tho National Drill, that half of tho small boys of Washington aro so thoroughly infused with tho military ardor of the .! . l. . .1!1- .1 l . unit's, mut uuuy tuuy c-m u seen in bands, marching on tho streets, wear ing paper caps, with sticks for guns wiiiio ino unuorm ot tneso soldiers in embryo is really picturepque, and thoy present arms and drill to tho tap of the drum with pretty fair precision. Tho only colored man in the Signal Service has been dismissed for ineffi ciency andirrogularity of moral conduct attor no has had a bettor chanco of re form than would be given a white man under similar circumstances. Recently a great number of printers havo been discharged by Publio Prin ter Benedict, and thero will be quite a mi in nor ot oierKs dismissed iromtho Patent Oflico and tho Treasury on July 1 tho reduction in foroo being mado necessary by a decreased appro priation bill. Tho almost forgotten faot that Wra. A. Wheeler acted as Vico-President of tho United States ono term, was re called by his death, and half-masting tho Hags on publio buildings in this city on tho day of his funeral. Mr. Wheeler, after retiring from ofllcd, like Hayes, his principal in the theft of tho Prcsidcuoy in 1870, dropped from publio regard, with tho coutetnpt and execration of all truly honest men, living tho rcmalndci nf his days in such pniclitl remorse and obscurity, that both hia mind and body becamo tho easy prey of insidious disease. Tho jttoplo of Washington aro grati fied to learn of tho improvement in tho condition of their beloved fellow citizen, tho wealthy banker and philan thropist, Mr. W. W. Corcoran, who was lately prostrated with paralysis, winch at first caused much concern. Mr. Corcorau's largo bonofnetions to tho city aro tho famous Corcoran Art Gallery, with its fine collections of paint ings aud pictures, and the lionise. Home, whero gentlewomen in reduced circutu stances may find refuue in their dccllu ing days. Although Mr. Corcoran is in liia 89th year, it is hopod he may yet bo spared for vcars of beneficenco and usefulness for ho is an honor and ablcss- ino to his country and to tho world. Tho National Rifles havo accepted an invitation to participate in tho cora- petivo drill at (Jlneago, next October. Tho Western boys would do well to look to their laurels, if thoy expect to defeat tho Capital's crack company. Thero is a curious coincidence in tho fact that no sooner docs the man from Maine, set sail for Europe than tho Irish-Ainenoan club of New York be gins to boom Mr. Blaino for President declaring that whilo thoy havo no objection to other candidates, the head ot the old tioket is the man ot tneir oboico above all others. Well, tho Democrats will fervently wish tho Irish-Americans success in their endeav or to renominate Mr. Blaine, but fear that hope will not ho realized. This Rlaino talk, and tho further fact that the New Hampshire Republicans havo rcstirreotcd, and are about to send to the U. S. Senato "Bill" Chandler, politi cal boss, notorious corriipuomst, and as bad as all, tho fraudulent President's tool and underling, conclusively dem onstrates that moro than ono defeat will bo required to chaston tho Repub lican party. If the people of Wnahintjton could decide tho question, I beleivo Secretary Lamar would surely succeed to tho vacancy in tho Supremo Court, but wo havo it from good authority that tho Secretary does not desiro tho position as it would shelvo him for life, and de privo tho Nation as his lriends think of tho great ability of this eminent statesman in its cabinets and councils, whero he is best fitted to servo and shine. As tho Grand Army of the Republic is incubating anothor "Dependent Ponsion Bill," which they will urgo tho next Congress to pass, it is probable that President Cleveland's veto will again bo tho country's only safeguard against a mcasuro so unjust and ruin ous. President Cleveland, on his way to Washington from tho North woods of "VT T" . 1 1 , 1 t ; ! ii uw xurK, wucru iiu uus ucun investi gating personally tho "disputed fisher ies" question stopped at Albany and dined with Gov. Hill, which tho poli ticians of all shades believe evidences such cordiality between theso dis tinguished Democrats thoy will not be rivals for Presidential honors. The President and Col. Lamont ware much benefitted by their outing, though both are badly sunburned and show many marks of their contests with black flies and mountain mosquitos. Mrs. Cleve land did not return with the President but will spend the next fortnight visit ing her friends at Oswego, New York. Married 'Women's Property.

ArrnovEn The 24th day of May, A. U. 1887. JAMES A. BEAVER. Ole vol anil at St- Louis. Gcnorul Noble and Colonel Dyer have received a long letter from Gen eral Sherman in which he discusses at at some length tho recent muddlo re garding tho invitation to President Clovcland to visit St. Louis during tho urand Army encampment, and in the course of bis letter bo savs : Mr. Cleveland is president of tho United States by a fair election of all our peo ple, and as commander-in-chief of tho army and navy of the United States is free to come and go wherever tho jur isdiction of thisour national govern ment, extends. Ho may visit any fort or ship whero the national flag will bo lowered to manifest respect to him aud his oince, and should a foreign ship fail to do him full honors none will bo so quick to resent an insult as tho mem bers of the Urand Armv of the Repub lic, who periled life and limb to make that flag respected at homo and abroad. The idea of his being insulted, much less endangered, should ho bo on the stand alongsido of our commander-in-ohief, General Fairohild, when the Grand Army is passing in review, seems to mo monstrous, and I will pledge my life that no Iowa soldier will do so unmanly an act, and should Mr. Cloveland accept tho invitation, whioh I hopo he will, to attend tho parado of tho Grand Array of the Republio at St. Louis, I will stand by his side or I will march past in the ranks of Ransom post, as may bo ordered by Goneral Fairohild." They Killed a Orazy Man. TWO ASYLUM KEEl'KBS ACCC8EU ANU ARItESTED. The arrest of Keepers McIIuoh and Cleary, of tho Insane Asylum on vv ard s island, was Sunday night re ported at Police Headquarters in New York by Capt Hooker, of the East Ono Iiundred and Twenty-sixth street sta tion, whero tbo men aro locked up. Tho arrests aro tho outcome of tho autopsy mado Saturday by Deputy Coroner W. T. Jenkins, on tho body of Georgo Farrisb, a violent lunatic. who died, it was said, in consequence of brutal treatment by tho keepers in April last Farrieh was removed to the asylum from Bellevuo Hospital. Ho died April 11 and was buried in Evergreen Cemetery, but information coining to tho Coroners through a for mer attendant in tho hospital, ono Mitchell, indicated that ho was tho victim of maltreatment. Mitchell said that on the night of April 8 ho saw MoIIiigh and Cleary belaboring tho lunatic. Tho poor fellow was crying for mercy, when MoIIugh, who was on top of tho piostrate man, dashed tho l&ttcr's head soveral times violently on tho boards. Tho autopsy, which was mado at tho cemetery in the presnneo of Dr. Soholer showed that four ribs wero broken on the right side and four on tho left. Tho head was much bruisod. On the strcugth of theso developments Coroner Levy on Sunday handed two warrants to Capt. Sandors for tho arrest of tho keepers. Tho Captain sent Deteotive Patrick Gargan with tho warrants, and Sunduy night tho latter roturued from tho island with tho prisoners. MoIIugh is a repulsive and vicious looking individual, and this is not tho first charge of a similar oharacter against him. Last winter ho was ao ciibed of having abusod a man named Mendoldsohn, who was suffering from incipient insanity but who was harm less and docile. After Mendelssohn's removal to Ward's Islam, his wifo visited him each day, but at the expi ration of a week sho was told by ono of tho attendants that her husband wasn't fceliug very well and that sho could not sco him. Sho persisted, how ever, declaring that, boing his wifo, sho would bo near him. After somo futllo argumont the officers of tho in stitution finally consouted, having meanwhile fixed up her husband so as to present a littlo less shocking appear an co. On entering tho room whero visitors meet inmates Mendelssohn tot'.ored to. wards his wifo and, falling on her shoulders, sobbed ; "Oh, Lizzie, for God's sake tako mo home or away from here, or thoy will kill mo." Tho poor man's face, it Is said, pre sented a Bhooking appearance, with, bruises nnd cuts, whilo ho wns hardly nblo to stand. Mrs. Mendelssohn then mado somo nrrangomcnt for tho remov al of her husband, and ono morni'ig soon after started to fetch him down. Sho was recognized on tho island boat by somo ono from tho hospital, who asked her if sho was going up to sco her husband, and upon answering in tho affirmative tho stranger said i "Well, you needn't go up. Ho is dead, and his body will bo down on tho uoxt boat.' Tho body did como down as staled, and through the desiro of tho friends of the family an investigation into tho causo of his'dcath was mado. An au topsy showed that two of tho man's ribs had been broken, whilo his body generally wns bruised, indicating the most brutal treatment. MoIIiicli was said to havo been tho guilty person iu that ease, and though two ox-keepers volunteered to testify in tho matter nothing further was ever done. Barclay Peak Guilty. Barclay Peak has been found guilty of murder in tho first degrco on tho clmrao of murdciing JMary Anderson at Mount Holly, N. J. Tho iudco's chargo was finished at 11:30 Monday morning and at 11.65 tho jury retired. It was 2 o'clock when tho ringing of tho court houso bell announced that tho itirv had aurced uiioii a verdict. In n fow minules tho oourt room was packed. Shortly after Constable Burr brought tho boy prisoner down the aisle. Peak looked pale and anxious, but he walked down tlio aislo with a firm step and took a scat in tho dock. When tho iiirors slowly hied in, l'eak pcerod into their faces as if to read his fate and then ho tinned away and shook his father, who sat near, by the hand. Tho boy's mother and sisters stayed away. They know what tho sound of tho old court houso bell meant, and thoy dared not enter tho room nnd faco Barclay Peak's accuser. Tho dead girl's parents and her pretty- sis ter, Eva Anderson, wero also absent, Somo delay was caused by the absence of Mr. Robbins, who had gono to Moorcstowu, and of Mr. Gaskill, who was at dinner. About half past two o'clock Mr. Gaskill camo in, and Eoic man Endicott, in responso to tho court clerk's inquiry, said in a clear voice that rani through tho court room, and fell upon Barclay Peak's ears like a knell, "Guilty of murder in tho first de gree.'' Thoro was a shuflling of feet and a bnzz ol voices, aud every cyo way turned on Barclay Peak. Ho never winced tinder tbo ordeal. Not a muscle of his face moved. His pallor deepened perhaps, but his eyo was steady and his lip did not quiver. His head rested, as before, on his hand and he did not change his position. lie sat thero still aud motionless, aud for all tho emotion ho betrayed, ho might havo had less interest in tho sceno than any ono in the court room. The silence was broken by Mr. Gaskill, who asked that tho jury he polled. This wa9 done, every man answering in firm tones : "Guilty of murder in tho first decree." Then Mr. Gaskill said that ho would have some motions to make, but that he desired to oonsult with his colleamio Mr. Robbins. Judge Parker said ho would adjourn tho court until tho 25th lnst,, when tho counsel for Barclay Peak could appear. The people slowly surg ed out, and Barclay Peak was ltd back to his cell. After the adjournment of court, Joseph W. Endicott, the foreman ol tho jury, said : "Wo stood for con viction from tho first. Wo took onlv ono ballot. First wo voted as to whether tho girl committed suicide, then as to whether it was murder in tho first degree. Only ono voto was needed to decide each of these threo points. There was no hesitation ; no argument was needed j but wo all felt that wo could not bring in any other verdict. I think our prompt action re flects credit upon ua for our fidelity and our desiro to do our duty. I wish wo could havo brought in another ver dict, but it was impossible." Bishop Stevens Dead. Richt Rev. William Bacon Stevens. bishop of tho diocease of Pnnnsvlvanin Protestant Episcopal church, died at his residence in Philadelphia at 0:10 o'clock Saturday morning, after a pro tracted illness. Bishop Stevens is the fourth "Rnison pal bishop of Pennsylvania and was born in Bath. Me., on tho 13th dav nf Julv. 1815. Hn was pdnnntixl in Phillips academy, Andovcr, Mass., and uiuu opem over iwo years in loreign travel. Ho graduated as an M. D. in Dartmouth col lego and practiced his profession in Savannah, Ga., nearly five years. Shortly afterwards ho be gan studying theology under the bishop of Georgia. He was ordained into tho Episcopal ministry by Bishop Elliott, juii. i, joi'i. ne rose rapidly in ecolesiastical preferment and in 1848 became rector of St. Andrew's itlmrnli. Philadelphia.

In 1871 the dioceso of Centrnl Pennsylvania was created, under which Lancaster is situ ated and over which Bishop M. A. Do WolfoIIowo presides. In 18C8 Bishop Stevous was appointed o tako chargo of tho American Episcopal churches on tho continent of Europe, which post ho held for six years. Bishop Slovens was a voluminous writer and was ouo of tho most scholar ly men of his church. Bishop Wbitakor formerly bishop of Montana, and elect ed last year as coadjutor to Bishop Stovons, now becomes bishop of Penn sylvania. Tho Pennsylvania railroad has mado a traffic agreement with the D. tfc II. Canal company, by which it bo enabl ed to uso the lines of tho latter, in reaching points in Central aud Eastern Now York. It is fuither reported that tho Pennsylvania has completed its plans for tho erection of elevated tracks through Jersey City, and the in tendon is to transfer passengers on double-decked ferry boats, connected at tho Now York oity station, with the branch lines of tho Manhattan Ele vated road, which is to bo built to tho ferries. Tho rumor that tho Pennsyl vania is to build a tunnel under the Hudson is without foundation, nnd probably had its origin in tho fact that work has lately been resumed on tho original Hudson River Tunnel.
