Neal 1uw, the well krown Maine vlecate of Prohibition, recently refer-r-t to Bangor, in that State, as the "iunkenest city on the continent." ViJieiupon the Bangor Ontimercial pTnts the police record of Portland, ' low s plate of residence, alongside that or? Bangor, for one day. It shows that Bangor had only a lone "drunk.' while on the same day Portland sent eight drunken men to jail for thirty and sixty Gays. TlHs is rough on Dow, but rougher on Maine, where Prohibition nd all that term implies, is in full blast. Tim great strike of the Monongabela , river coal miners came to an end last week. The -miners demanded three ! cents per bushel, but went back to work ' attwoeeots ami a half, the price they were paid when tiiey struck for an in- ' crease of .half a cent six months ago. Ilnring toe long continuance of the etrike about six thousand men were ' thrown idle, and the suffering endured I by innocent women and children cannot ; be computed in dollars and cents. It is ' estimated that the losses of the miners ' in wages daring the strike amount to j nnly two million of dollars, to say ! Milling of the losses sustained by the! owners of the mines. When the strike began the mine refused to abide by the award of the Arbitrator agreed upon under the provisions of what is known ! as the "Wallace Act.' which was pas-i sed to enable employers and employes to j compromise dipputesin regard towages, and now afU r a Kn.g and bitter experi ence they have been compelled, in obe dience to the law of self-preservation, to resume work at the prices they origi- , xially refused. The Wallace Act would have settled the difficulty promptly and satisfactorily if its provisions had been ! aeted on in good faith. 1 It seems to be a fact that Morgan R. Wise has at last bulldozed the President out of an appointment, but the reports from Washinptan do not agree as to where Wise is to go. One statement is that nis appointment will require hi j local habit ion to be in Arizona, the home of the bloodthirsty, scalp-lifting Apache Indians, and the other ac count ia that he has been appointed In spector of Customs at El Paso, Texas, at a salary of Ove dollars a day, with the privileRe of taking his son along with him as clerk, at a salary of $1,000 a year. El Paso, in western Texas, is on tbe Rio Grande, and right opposite to It, In Mexico, is the town of El-Paso-Del-Xorte. Both places swarm with cut-throats, gamblers, horse and cattle thieves, -and Mexican "greasers." If Wise's destination is Arizona some evil disposed Apache warrior will probably raise his hair, and if he eoes to E! Paso be had better taRe out a big insurance on his life. Of course tbe President didn't think of tbe possible fate to which he was exposing the Greene cniir.lt DtntMm'.n . . . . ... .u uiuu vu get rid of him, he give him an office in Tex as or Arirona, as the case may turn out to be. A Reithlicax Congressman from Illinois, John R. Thomas, has offered a pension bill in the Honan nh to saiisty the most extragant demands j in that direction. There is nothing mean about Thomas. His plan is sim- ' ply to pension everybody who served i thirty days during the rebellion, wheth- er wounded or not. If this bill should j pasa, of which there is not much dan- ! ger, there would be only one thing for j the Government to do. and nt ij . appoint assignees. There Is another Il linois man In the House, William H. i Neece, a rock-ribbed Democrat, who is j determined not to let Thomas carry off ! all the honors of statesmanship, and he I has therefore introduced a bill, the pur pose or which is set forth as follows: "Granting lands to aid in the establish ment of an endowment for savings, by which thrift may be promoted and citi zens may be aided and aisted to save and preserve themselves from the eco nomic impotence and dependence in volved in their lack of the material fac tors needed to make available their per sonal productive capabilities." Good -for our illustrious Democratic brother, Wan. H. Neece, who has knocked Tfcamas, the Republican, clear out of igU in the first round. Any jaan can easily see what Thomas wants to have ione, but if there is living any where ia this big, great and glorious Republic, a man who can tell ns what Neece is driving at in this bill, we will walk a long distance In the mud to bear his explanation. This is a great and mighty beginning for Illinois on the floor of CoDgress, but eighteen other members from tba State are yet to be heard from. When Congress adjourned for trie holidays it was announced that when it reassembled on Tuesday last Mr. Ran dall would offer an amendment to tbe Constitution giving tbe President pow er to veto separate items in an appro- priation bill while approving of the re ' maiodt-r. That such an amendment Las not long since been adopted by Con- i giess and submitted to the Legislatures of the different Stales for their action, is owing to the simple fact that it would 1 tbe interest of economy and a eure protection against the systematic HT,Hlin f t.h Trpasiirv which has naarked the course of that body for so many years. Tbe robbery is confined mainly to the itiver and Harbor bill, through which nearly every member of the IIou"e attempts to make himself "solid" with his constituents, by plun dering the Treasury out of thousands of dollars for tLe purpose of squander ing it undr the pretense of rendering navigable some insignificant crtek or shallow river in his district. When Harry White was in Congress he played his hand at this game very Deat'.y and st?eful'.y by i''irtng the insertion in the Uier i;d Harbor bill of a section appropriating about twenty thousand d i'.Urs to ; k Ater the Kiskiminetaa J.'nt.emaugh. A chief engineer and hi sibord'iis lived very comfortably .n this appropriation for a year or so, and tickled the people living along the two streams with glowirg tales of the grett results that would follow, but when the appropriation was exhausted its purpose bad been accomplished aud it might just as well have been thrown into the Potomac river. We mention this swindle as a conspicuous instance 1 of the way the Treasury is plundered i through the Itiver and Harbor bilL j Similar instances occur all over the country If Mr. Randall offers his ameudment and Congress adopts it, a year more must elapse before it can be approved by the necessarv number of the State Legislatures to incorporate it into the Constitution. In the meantime, however, we make tbe prediction that if the present Congress send3 to President Cleveland a River and Har bor bill of the same notorious character as the bills of the same nature that have been laid before his predecessors, it will never become a law unless passed over his veto. David B. Hill, who was elected Governor of New York at the last No vember election, was inaugurated at Albany on Friday last, New Year's Day. He was elected Lieutenant Governor on the ticket with Cleveland in 1882, and assumed the duties of Governor when Mr. Cleveland resigned the office a year ago. Gov. Hill is a young man, but he is a very long headed politiciau, as he thoroughly demonstrated when he brought to his solid support in the late contest in his S'.ate all the discordant element? of the Democratic party in the city of New York, upon whose vote the issue turned. It takes a shrewd politi cian and a popular Democrat to bring about this result in the face of a united and harmonious opposition fighting for a strong ticket. Hill's victory in New York was a great surprise to the Repub licans everywhere and threw a dark cloud over their Presidential prospects in 1SS. If he acts well his part and absolutely silences all intrigues in his own behalf for the Presidency, that fatal rock In tbe sea of politics against which the otherwise bright prospects of so many public men have been wrecked, he may eventually "get there," to use a slang phrase ; but if he ever allows the Presidential bee to commence buzzing In his bonnet, his political epitaph can be written in these five words "Died of the Presidential fever." On the same day, Friday list, Fitz hugh Lee took the oath of office at Rich mond as Governor of the State of Vir ginia. All the departments of the government in that State are now in the hands of the Democrats. Mahone, like Lucifer, has fallen never more to rise, although he will continue to occupy his seat in the U. S. Senate until a year from the 4th of next March. No public man in this country ever rose to bad eminence more suddenly or was hurled from it more remorselessly than Ma hone, and Riddleberger's fate will be the same as soon as the people of Vir can pronounce their sentence of banish ment upon him. Chas R. Bvckalew having recon sidered his purpose to accept the ap pointment of Sucreme Court T?pnortr lanHa him . v, - i " " SU UJ . PattisoT, returned his commission to the Governor on Saturday last, accom panied by a letter stating that the ar duous duties of the position and the inadequacy of the salary compelled him to decline the appointment. Mr. Buck alew is admirably fitted for the place, and his declination will be regretted bv the memoers oi tne legal proiessioa throughout the State. Governor Patti aon immediately appointed Lemuel Am erman, of Lackawanna county, to the position, and he has accepted it. We hardly know enough about Amerman to warrant us in expressing an opinion as to his fitness for the place. Wb only remember him as a member of the lower branch of the Legislature in 1S83, when bi8 senseless and aimless course on the apportionment question cost the State a 8od deal of money without any benefit to his party and without enhancing his own reputation as a man of sound and discreet judgment. Aside from this, however, he may still prove himself to be well qualified to fill the position of Supreme Court Reporter. "The appointment of Josephs is im possible. There is no use discussing him for office," is what Mr. Cleveland is reported to have said about the per sistent efforts of Sam Josephs and his rnends to induce the President to ap point that scurvy politician to the re sponsible office of Marshal of the eastern district of Pennsylvania. Tbe Presi dent is known to be a man of decided convictions, or as some people call him a very "stubborn" man, and so far as Sam Josephs is concerned we have an abiding trust that Mr. Cleveland will adhere to his declaration, "The appoint ment of Josephs is Impossible." Congress reassembled on Tuesday last. The committees were announced yesieraiy. S10RIES OF JUDtiK BLACK. The publication of Mr. Shoemaker's excellent reviw of the "Life and Let ters of Judge Jeremiah S. Black," calls to mind a picture which should bear date sometime in the spring of the year he died. A tall old man, though he did not strike one so clearly a old or tall, but rather as great and venerable, sat in the office of a hotel at Harrisburg. His massive head, with its crown of si!ver, a countenance that frankly faced the eye as a face bearinn no tell-tale line that needed cloak from scrutiny, and eves beaming kindly with humor. or flashing under their brushy brows when he warmed in controversy, were up-borne on a ftame of oaken strength aud statnre. The frost of years had touched it only to give it added majesty, j The limbs were stiffening, but It was j young at heart. He met old atre as a , who comes upon tbe Celd to deeoiate him. His steps were somewhat uncertain when he walked, but when he stood up, a he had a few weeks earlier, before the Senate of the State the "garnered wisdom" of the Commonwealth to plead for the passage of the anti dis crimination bill, it was an incarnate illumination of the text that He made man after His own imug". "To plead" is rather the common lepal term than the accurate description of what he did. There was nothing of the suitor's key in his voice, nothing of the suppliant posture in his attitude. It was a charge be delivered rather than a pleading. lie stood up with manful front and, with no title save bis name and no cre dentials but the right of every man to serve his fellows, demanded the passage of the bill, not as a privilege or conces sion, but as that which he believed in dubitably just and necessary upon the facts which he presented and the argu ment he made. The occasion moved him. Tlis words rang trumset-tongued, and his bearing forcibly recalled that other time, when he stood up, a simple commoner, before the proudest tribunal this country ever saw, and with the full knowledge that the verdict was already made up against him, threatened the judges with infamy and predicted the overthrow of the work they were about to do. Those who had tasted despair in counting the leaden steps of justice welcomed with stern delight that vision of the iron hand uplifted, and the words of his prophecy of wrath passed into the common speech of men. Before any other tribunal, in any other country, or under almost any other circumstances, a man who dared utter such a speech would be committed for contempt, but Judge Black measured the time and the occasion, and the court to which he spoke, if it differed from him, ventured no attempt to set aside the judgment which he passed. His great presence, his earnestness, and hts bold bearing must have lent his words great weight with a jury. Even in reading his steeches we can see how the thoughts formed in h:.s brain sprang from hi.s lips clothed in the simplest ny Ilables that could bvst weapon them for battle with a resisting understand ing. His speeches bristle with f-words like an army in assault. No other American orator, in our generation at least, has given to language so many brief, terse, keen edged expressions. To read his speeches we can well imagine how I hey must have sounded when spoken from such lips as his. They tell a story rf a friend of a West ern Congressman who happened to be at the Capital sight, seeing at the time the historic Milligan case was on trial be fore the Supieme Court. This Con gressman was to make a great speech upon a certain day on some question or other, and his friend went up to the Capi.oi to hear it. He somehow missed his way in the building, however, and wandered into the court room instead. There he saw a man of towering figure striding back and forth in the narrow space before the bench arguing the case of the defendant. Milligan. Oratory is captivating to a Western man, and he stayed to listen a few minutes. Judge Black was denouncing trials by military commissions, and painting the iniquity of all the extra-judicial tribunals that had ever in all history usurped the pre rogatives of the duly established courts. He instanced Herod, who, when unable to single out from the multitude of "I'uifu utr v.uiat uiiiiii wno was Hi utl f King or the .lews, tried all the babes for prospective treason, convicted them, decreed their death, and had his sen tence carried out with such alacrity and zeal that in one day the land was "filled with mourning and lamentation. He cited Nero trying the whole Christian Chnioh in a body on the charge of eet ting fire to Rome, and sending them to the cross. He described Macbeth'a hired murderers, "the commission or ganized in Banquo's case, which sat upon him that very night at a conve nient place beside the road by which it was known he would be traveling." lie pictured Lola Montez, minister and mistress to the King of Bavaria, and her "commission" "a pack of British bull dogs, trained to tear the flesh and mangle the limbs and lap the life blood" and much more which I can not accu rately recall. The Westerner stood and drank it all in with eager ears and eyes that hung on every gesture of the ora tor, nntil at the climax of tbe Montez instance, when Judge Black thundered out : "It gives me unspeakable pleasure to tell you the sequel. The people rose in their wrath, smashed down the whole machinery of oppression, and drove out into uttermost shame king, dogs and strumpet " Then the listener rushed out of the chamber, hurried across into the hall of the House, pushed past the doorkeeper friend was in the midst of his speech and, plucking him by the coat tail, ex c.aimed in a voice so loud as to be heard a dozen seats around : "Wind her up. Bill ! Wind her up and come over heie and listen to old Jerry Black giviu' 'em h 1 I" A Little t'her-d'oenvre. ?Je?w Ri!iere'9 charming picture "Sym pathy has been engraved a a premium for Godey s Lat.y's Hook for 18S6, and is one of the most desirable Inducements ever offered by that of any other magazine.

The LetaLltj of Bequest for Masses, We believe the decision just rendered in Brooklyn by Judge Cullen, of the Supreme Court, in the suit of Holland against Smyth, is the firsc case which has arisen In this State involving the validity of a testementary provisioa for prayers for the dead. The case is there fore one of peculiar interest and much importance. The Court of Appeals had previously held that a contract made with a woman in her lifetime to expand certain money of hers for masses after she should be dead was valid. Tbe court expressly declared that there was nothing illegal in the purpose to which she w ished her money applied, and to which the person to whom she gave it promised and acrrKcl t- ciimiiv it Hut no contract pli!jled jn the case presented to Mr. Ju,lice Cullen. The testator by bis wlU 8imily gave ni3 residu.tiy estate to his executors to friend in procuring masses for the repose of bis soul ; and tue question to be decided waf whether such a provision wa-s good in law. Judge Cullen holds that it is, and the reasoning by which he reaches this con clusion seem to us satisfactory. There is some difficulty in sustaining the bequest as a trust, because a living Deneficiary is wanting, nor can it be upheld as a charitable use, because de signed for the benefit of the giver him self, and so not a charity. The light of a man, however, to appropriate by will as much of his estate as be chooses to the erection of a monument to his mem ory has never been denied by the courts, after the claims of the testator's credi tors were satisfied. The doctrine that a man may do what be will with bis own has been strongly applied in cases of this kind in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Judge Cullen finds a close anal ogy between such provision for monu ments and this provision for masses. In both cases the thing to be done is for the benefit of the dead, and if the ex penditure for one purpose is so obviously lawfui as uniformly to have been recog nized as proper in the courts, why should not the other purpose, which is just as worthy, also receive approval ? The suggestion has been made that a distinction exists, because monuments afford gratification to the surviving relatives rather than to the dead them selves. This may be answered by say ing that masses also gratify and solace the friends of the deceased. Another point is that the Catholic Church is tbe real beueficiary, inasmuch as the money for the masses goes into its coffers. This objection is ju?t about as perti nent as as it would be to argue that a bequest for a ten-thousand dollar mon ument ought to be condemned by the courts because most of the money would go to the marblo cutter. Nr. Y. San. An Attempt to L'pset an Idol. It is time to call a. halt to the reckless re habilitation of history. Here, for ex ample, comes a correspondent aud ruth lessly attempts to upset one of our choic est and most cherished traditions. It always has been accepted that Andrew Jackson, seventh in number but among the first of the Presidents of the United States,' was the son of Scotch-Irish pa rents, who were very poor, at Carrick fergus, Ireland, where his father tilled a few rented acres, while his mother was a scantily paid linen weaver. And, further, that after emigration to Amer ica the paternal Jackson never owned an acre of land, while after his death his widow was dependent for support on the kindness of relatives. But their boy became somebody. But now a correspondent of The Worll, Mr. William J. Simpson, wri ting from Great Victoria street, Belfast, Ireland, asseits that he has been en gaged for some years in genealogical researches and has been rewarded by the discovery that the pedigree of An drew Jackson dates from A. D. 983. No doubt, and considerably before, if only it could be traced. Most of us are descended from somebody of some time or other in the most ancient of ages. But our correspondent discovers that Jackson was directly descended from the Emperor Charlemagne, from Robert Bruce, Xing of Scotland, and from Henry VII. of England this last a most disreputable descent which An drew Jackson would have indignantly disavowed. And right here and now we, too, protest. Andrew Jackson was proud of his poor parentage and of his obscure lineage, which made his own eminence, achieved by his own handa and head and hard work, all the more conspicuous, while the American peo ple are proud of Jackson because he was a Democrat of the Democrats.
