Associate JrsTKE Stanley Mat thews, of the United States Supreme Court, died at his home in "Washington, on last Friday morning, after a long nines, aged Gl years. Judge Matthews was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he was admitted to tho bar and practiced until the breaking out of the rebellion when he accepted a Lieutenant Colo nel's rnrcrris'ion and entered the ser vice an t was afterward promoted to a Colonel ?y. lie was appointed to the Supreme 'tench by Iliyes. but his note inati n was not r.cted on. He took his seat in Wl on President tlardild's re nouiination, which was confirmed by the S?ra May 12. Under the laws governing1 the pension 'nt of the Su preme Curt a member of that tribunal must have reached seventy year and served ten years on the Iteoch before he cau avail himself f the ?1'V"0 a yar retired compensation for life. 'Justice Matthews lacked Qve years of the re quisite age an 1 two vears of tha term of ottice. He was always recognized as an able and snccess'ul lawyer, bnt at the titiio of his appointment to the Supreme IJeuch, it was charged that his appointment was due to the influence of Jay Gould. His remains were laid to rest at Glendale, Ohio,-on Monday. Let us see how Civil Service Kefi.rm worked under Cleveland. Ia the Treas sury I. partment, of tho 1.070 employes on the pay-rolls March 4. last, 1,230, rtceivii g Jl,;---"..HiO annual pay, were appointed prir to March I, and only 4h, rcc ivig 7.,'lU annual pay, were appointed during Mr. C'evetland 's administration. In the Interior tie- paitment ihun were 1.671 ''holdovers," having SixXhuOO annual pay, and on'y 1 ", arpiDt'es of Mr. Cleveland's ad ministration, drawing but 5oo0,(j00 an nual pay. In the postofllce department there were 1H "holdovers." with an aggregate salary of S'OO.IX'O, and lh Cleveland appointees, with an aggre gate salary of SlTo.OOO. These are the three most important departments in AVashirgtou. They probably employ four-fifths cf all the persons in the Government service at Washington. And yet it will be seen from the above figures which were compiled by the New York ILrall from the official records that removals during Mr. Cleveland's term were scarcely more numerous than Ihey would nntural'y have been if his predecessor bad been of the same party. Tuk Australian ballot system says the Philadelphia Tlmts has already been embodied in the laws of several of the States. Similar bills are now under consideration in the Legislatures of several others, Pennsylvania among the number. The proposed law was intro duced into the State Senate at Harris burg by Senator Macfarlane, of this city, and into the House by llepresenta tiye Uaker, of Delaware county. The proposed act embodies two vital princi ples the absolute secrecy of the ballot, the voter being completely insolated from all others whil9 preparing his bal lot, and the printing of the tickets bv the State, thus not only enabling a poor man to be candidate, but destroying the pretext under which the corrupt use of rxoney at elections is at pusent excused and tolerated. The pass.ige oflhis net, while involv ir3 seme ndJitioval expense at the onset, would d.'nb'.!es3 greatiy roinote purity at electior. Tho bill should become R law Iff ore the i3lature adjourns.

The indelicacy of a rushing sclf candidacv for this exalted judicial sta tion would be great at any "time. To trexk through the funeral procef-iuii that ruark3 thevacarcy, with a "claim" for the place which is yet hardly cold, is worse than indecent. A nun who will put himsolf forward for a Supreme Court Judgeship by that act advertisea his unfitness for the high ofilce. And yet it will not be strange to see a scramble for it by the corpora tion lawyers and the political judges out of a job. Theke appeara to be some trouble ic the Republican camp about the appoint ment of a roit master iu Philadelphia. Postmaster General Wanamaker, has offered the position to John Field a well known merchant aud business man of that city, while Senator Quay has geeroed to favcr the appointment of William Leeds, a well known jolitical boss of that city. Thj business men of the city are tlated over the selection or Mr. Fie-'d, while the political heelers and strikers aro up ia arms and are ut tering protests loud and deep over the Postmaster General's selection. The true inwardness of the selection may not, however, appear cn the surface as it may be one of the methods of Senator (Juay. who is well versed in all kinds of political trickery, to escape takiug sides between rival political factions iu that city. It baa raised quite a row among the Republicans of the euaker City, wi:h the Democrats as spectatois enjoy ing the fun. The employes of the blsst furnace of the Potlsville iron and steel company were notified on Tuesday of a 5 per cent, reduction in wages, to take effect April 1. Aud this is done. :n less than a month after the inauguration of the party thst w;is to give the big end cf the hieh tariff to keep up thd wgea cf tf h woi kit g.i;en.

Speculative greed does cot appear to have been discouraged by the failure of the latest combination of capital and credit to control the prices of commod ities. The collapse ot the Copper Syn dicate has hardly ceased to excite com ment before it i? proposed to make war I upon the resouises of nature and the j lawsoftrada in a glgan'.ic conspiracy j to corner the world's supplies of sl;. It j has been stated that the ring in pr.CebS ' of formation for this purpose will bv I aid to command a capital of c2",0"J- 1 . The object of the combination, i s 1 explained by it promoters, is to insure ' '-iiix-ral dividends to the capital lnv st- ( cd."and at the same tim to benevo- j lently afford the best quality of salt at , "reasonable prices" to consumers. J S) long as partial and unjust laws dj . not interfere with free comivtition con- , snmers can well afford to laugh at all such consiiraciee to enhance the coat of the necessaries of living. A combina tion like this may temporarily limit supply and force op prices, but failure has been written upon the history of every similar scheme to defeat the laws of trade. It i9 only under a systera of "protection" wtr.cb. s-ciSces the gen trl welfare to the interests of a few that a ling for limiting and controlling the supply of a prim necessary of ex is ance can hope t achieve even a par tial success. When production is stimulated by the tariJT lure of enormous profits the sup ply soon outstrips the demand, and l rices decline in the reactionary move ment until they reach a lower leyel than that which existed before the formation of the conspiracy. Tbe Copper ConibN nation is now undergoing this process, ar.d no one can predict how low the pr:cs of copper may tall in the general mar kets Cfcfore the normal relations between supply and demand shall have been re stored. In the limited market controlled by a tar'ff system like ours, however, the capitalists who have gathered large winnings in a conspiracy against trade can readily combine to limt production until the demand shall have overtaken the supply. They can aSord to close their mines and mills for a time and ex pend a portion of their gains in await ing tbe turn in the market. On the other hand, tbe workingmen in their employment, whose capital is their dai ly labor, cannot wait. To them this waiting rrocess means loss of employ ment, privation and attendant demoral ization. Indeed, in this consists the the peculiar iniquity of these industrial conspiracies. The masses of consumers can accommodate themselves in some degree to the vicissitudes in prices pro duced by this system, but to the work ingmen who are directly affected it Is pitiless in its cruelty. In deprecating the ominions appear ance of the Silt Trust upon the horizon cf trade the New York Tribune pre sents a tanle to show how much the price of Michigan salt has declined in the last twenty jears under the influence of Protection. Tho Tribune might as well array tables showing tbe decline of beef, pork and Dearly all other com modities from inflation prices and at tribute the result to tbe tariff. In this downward range of prices the chief fac tors are in the improved proceeses of pro duction and in the marvelous develop ment of the means of distribution, not only in this country but throughout the world ; but these weighty .factors the tariff organ leaves wholly out of the account. Cheap as salt has become in the world's markets, tbe tariff system deprivesAmerican consumers of tbe full beneQt of the reduction. In spite of a duty of 70 per cent., foreign salt Is imported in considerable quantities, and upon its cost is adjusted the price of the domestic article. Now it is proposed to take advantage of the tariff in order to form a gigantic Salt Monopoly. As honest and brave old Tom llenton rjsed fo exclaim, tha tax upon salt is "a riim- asHiust human nature." Somewhat Confusing. The mind is somewhat confused by the lr-iails of tho combination of the three principal steel-producing com pa:ii3of Illinois. In one part of the report ;t is stated that by this consoli dation h,cal competition will be de htrojedanda better price realizad for riili. This is clear enough. Local corns pat:.'ion is all there is in the way. Poieign coir.petition is Pnfiiciently re strained t y the hiuh tariff cn steel rails, which w? leaiT'd last fall was intended to maMe the mill -owners to pay higher wig '5 to their liborers. This being the chitf olj-ct which protected manufac turers have ever before them, we are bound to con elude that they are destroy ing local conii'etition by this trust with th s u.eend in view. It is this conviction which renders it imprislble iV.r us to understand what is said in another part of the report. It is a!d th.t a reduction of expanses also is to follow. Clerk Iiite is to be cut down, ret-t is to be lowered, bad com-mh-siobs t) agents will be less. Noth ing is sail of the reduction of the wages of laborers, hut a? that Is in line with th general program it will, douotless, fo'low. l!y these means, one dollar per ton l.i to be saved. As the three mills turn cut nearly a rxailien of tons per y-ar, they are about to eave a million of dollars, besides what they make in putting uplLe price. We. c;;n not understand why these cenii'inies, row that they arc able to pay more wages, are making arrange ments to pay let?. If this is persisted in, what l-tcomes of the argument that protection makes " wages higher ? .L"iiot u'.'c Courier Journal. "OfTHDEOf the Uuited States," Mys Mr. Joseph D. Weeks, secretary of tbe Iron and Steel Association, "prices of crude irou have advanced materially and the tendeucv is decidedly upward, while in the United States there is quietness, and if there is any tendency it is not, at least, toward any matked increase in prices." In Great Rritain "the cost ot production is increased by the enhanced value of the raw ironstone, the cost of the labor in smelting, and the bizher price of coal and coke. AH around there has been an Increase in wapes owing to the operation of the sli aiding scales. In the Uni ted S'ates, on the other hand, every condition is the opposite of this. Tbe stocks of pig Iron, instead of decreasing, have teen increasing. Wtges have decrtasen hert, instead of in- I creasing, as they have in England. x tie reductions or wages since tha first of the year in the valleys of PonnsyN vnnia, east and west, are well known." The workingman would like tbe Repub- j lictn newspapers to tell the cause of this deplorable condition ot affairs in the iron trade in this country. Isn't tbe tarifl high enough, or la it too high ?

The f'niiMiiiient of Crime. There is a law not enacted by legisla tive bodies that punishment shall follow crime. Criminals do cot stand on cer emony or censult the finer feelings of their victims whtD engazing in their schemes. No crim is too ou'rageous for theui to attempt it ih fear of pun- j isbment is removed, and absolutely no tenderness or deiiccy of theirs is toler- j ated between thuu and tbe ends Ihry d-sire. The tend-r hearted villian Is no villian, the ceutiernanly assassin has r.o j exTstance, the pvi-n', farbearirg, gen- , tie wife be iier is extinc. and the good a .d lovirg dif utr of virtue and tra- J ducerof charaOr h s long since taken j . .1r r . r. j r. . . .

Tin fact that punishmeiu rhou-d follow crime is as patent as day. g; i. lint during the last century the reaction from the bar baric crue'.tv Li'herto practised by 1h law's execu:c ra has itesened the iennl ties of, and increased the tendencies to. crime. Tne restraint ot the church since he days of he reformation has been less upon certain classes, who would be otherwise ei8i:y tempted. The foolish sof iheartedness hieh has developed among class of people with gooi intentions, but with little knowledge of bad human nature, has succeeded in enforcing the demand for milder penalties, until to-day many penal institutions are palaces of idle rest, which crimina's do not dread, and wherein vagabonds solicit and re ceieve a glorious vacation from the bur dens of a working life well houed. well fed and well attended. Sure of food, shelter, raiment, medical attend ance and qnlet. they fear no seclusion imposed by Judce and jurv, and if de tected in crime take the inevitable con sequence of conviction as a temporary change of conditions wnlch might b a thousand times worse and from which they will rearpear upon the scene '.f former unlawful exploits, resenforced with health, tbe knowledge gained by experience, and the plans for new con quests which have hatched within pri son walls, aided by the warmth of ease and restful snrroundincs. The time Is rapidly coming when law-abiding citi-z-ns will demand the enforcement of severer penalties. Criminals dread nothing so much as a bodily pain. The penalty that demands tbe whipping of a wife beater will reduce that increasing brutality infinitely more than modern imprisonment, while forthe punishment of other crimes against the peace and bodily comfort of individuals something that implies bodily discomfort must be provided with which to threaten tbe brutes that respect no law and thrive on moral suasion. AlUiny Ejcjmss. The Tithe Riot In M ales. Among the movements for self government now being made in Europe none is deserving of more consideration than the ngitation amorg tbe Weleh people. To-day Wales is quite as much under serfdom as it was centuries ago. The minority which rules the land is alien to the vast majority in religion, language and manners. The Churcb es tablishment exists tor this minority alone ; it monopolizes all the offices in the country, andnot only exacts unfair rents from the tenantry bnt inflicts on them the worst oppression. Since the extension of the suilrage tbree years ago a new development has shown Itself arising the people, and a national coun cil corresponding to the Irish National League has made itself heard in de mands for tbe recognition of Welsh rights and the redress of Wwlsh wrongs. The leading demand is for the estab lishment of the Church of Wales, the objectionable feature in this institution being tbe tithes payable to the Anglican clergy. The Welsh Jarmers do not re fuse to pay tithe to the Church so long as the law gives it the Church, though they have aik:l that the clergy should Lear, iu common with the landlord and tenant, their fair share in the burden of sgricultural depression ; bu. as non conformists, they na! nrally protest me justice or me payment of this im- pos,to a Chnrrh who-w services they never attend, and hold that the tithes should be devoted to national purposes only. Christ s Church in Oxford is largely supported by the tithes wrung from Welsh farmers ; often too, by the aid cf a bailiff and a district warrant. The land question in Wales also bears a strikine resemblance to that of Ire land. Agriculture is the sole Industry of great districts, and yet there is as much social, political and religous sev erance between th landlord and tenant class as there is in Ireland. The landlord speaks Ln;liah and the tenant speaks Welsh. The former exacts, in many cases a rent which the land has not earned, and so the farming credit and capital of larg mas? of tenantry have ben exhausted. Wholesale po'itlca! eviction, the efforts tosubstitute churcb for chapel tenants, insecurity of tenure, and refusal to comieDsate for agricul tural improvements, all intensify the bitterness of the situation and suggest the prospect of an agi.ation of a very important character. Grounds or Removal. The Postmaster General is quoted as aing, immediately after a recent cab inet meeting, that "it will be tbe policy or this administration to let postmasters serve ou: their terms unless suffi cient re: .rs are given for their remov al." As to what constitutes such rea sons, no 6iecitic inrormation was given, although Mr. Wanamaker repeated that ir "inefliciency or incompetency cannot be thown a postmaster will be allowed to serve out his term." On the other band Congressman I'ay sou, of Illinois, claims to have secured the removal of Postmaster Reno, at Pontiac, in his State, and the appoint- i ment of "a Union soldier" in bis place, upon the explicit charpe that the in cumbent had been an offensive partisan. I Mr. Reno, it appears, is the editor of a Democratic organ, a member of the Connty Committee, the "leading Dem ocratic organizer of his county" and has been "conspicuous in public meet ings and at conventions, and on election day peddled Democratic tickets at the polls." This is the sort cf "pernicous activity" that Thomas Jtfferson condemned in public servants. He beld it both un seemly and dangerous to the freedota of elections. Other Dsmocratic states men of au early and a later day have complained of aud denounced such ac tive interference in political affairs by Federal officials as is ascribed to Ex Postmaster Reno. Democrats who are honest men will not approve or condone in their own partisans what they con demn in their opponents. But if the Republican Administration shall remove Deniociatic office-holders for "offensive partisanship" it cannot consistently tolerate similar conduct in its own appointees. Let us see how the good Mr. Harrison and the truly good Mr. Wanamaker will manage this side of the question. JV. 1'. World. Merit Wius.

She sewed the money up in her petticoat, which she wore during the day time and at night placed under her pil low. During the absence of Norris from his home on Sunday night three masked men entered the wife's bedroom, gagged ber. stole the petticoat and the money, and made good their escape, A neighbor named Wm. Staodish has been arrested on suspicion, and Mrs. Norris Identifies blm as one of the thieves. Tbree small boys were discovered lying In an engine cab in the Pennsylvania Rail road yard, on Friday morniDg, In Jersey City. When ordered to leave they locked the door and threatened to start the engine. It bad about 150 pounds of steam pressure In the boiler and there was danger of Its ex ploding. Switches were turned so that If the engine started it would run of the track and the wheels were blocked bo that it could not back up. Policemen were then sent for to dislodge the boys. The boys met tbem with showers of stones and coal. The po llcemen drew their revolvers and charged on them. A short hand-to hand battle fol lowed, enaing in the arrest of the boys. On last Sunday morning about eleven o'clock thirty-five out of 160 boya at the House of Refuge, Cincinnati, O., made a break for liberty. They were from io to 15 years old and were under four leaders, tbe chief of whom was a negro boy. These boys when It came time for tbem to retire to their rooms preparatory for dinner. Instead of doing so marched In a body, armed with baseball bats, to the front entrance, where they found -four guards stationed. Tbey demanded free passage, but were driven back. Then they used bats and rocks and broke several windows. The uoiee attract ed the attention of the police, and fifteen officers were sent to the place. The four ringleaders were locked In their rooms and quiet was restored. Tbe four leaders made a similar attempt to escape once before, Ad old Dutch doctor named SturfleSet zer, who lived . In Franklin county, Ga., was the subject of a strange visitation. His bouse was situated about a ball a mile from the graveyard, out of which a brilliant light would riee night after eight, and pass ing over tbe tree tops settle over bis bouse and remain stationary for a time, when it would again rise above the trees and sweep through the air In the direction from whence It came and sink into tbe earth at the craveyard. On the night of Setzer's death it thona more brilliantly than ever be- lore it hovered over the house for a long time, and as the dying man drew his last breath it arose in the air. and, like a flaming meteor, moved swiftly to the graveyard, son into tho earth and was never seen again. There are many who witnessed this strange phenomena and saw tbe blazing specter ou tho very night the old Dutch ilLh-tor died.
