Tiie.Bonate has passed n bankrupt law by n decided mnjerity, nnd seems te be greatly impressed with tlie necessity of such n measure We have never been able te thoroughly appreciate the git nt benefit of bankrupt laws. Certainly our oxperhuce with thorn has net been happy. We have found them te be costly nnd dilatory methods of dlstrlbu ting Insolvent estates. They are very nlce things for the debtor, te whom their cost is a matter of indifference, and te their enicerp, te whom It is a matter of congratulation ; but for the creditor, who bears the cost and the less and who should liavose'iio of the benefit, the law works badly. The idea, as we understand it, is that when a man Is Insolvent his estate should be ylelded up for distribution among his creditors, te the end that they may have what Is really thelrs and that he may be released from his debt and his custody of his creditors' property. The theory is geed enough, but the practice is net se geed. The honest debtor Is unfairly harrasstd with threats of bankruptcy proceedings, and tlie dishonest one un fairly imposes them upon his cred itors, giving them the husks of his prep erty while he travels off with plenty of cash in his pocket. The new luw does net seem te be aiy Improvement en these we have tried and found wanting, anil been glad te get rid of. If it ever becomes a law there will hardly be a man In the country who can net be thrown into bankruptcy, since anyone who fails te pay a debt for thirty days after it is due, commits an act of bankruptcy. The people who never have debts thirty days ever due are a very Bmall number indeed. The most punctual ' business man is liable te have a suspend ed or overlooked account ; aud with hungry bankruptcy elllcers en the leek out for business he may any day wake up te find himself in bankruptcy, with ests te pay te get out. There are plenty of things for Congress te consider at this session that are of importance te tne country. The Senate c.u find better work te de than te bother ever a bankrupt law, as the Heuse can employ itself mere pretUnby than In de bating the tariff. Tins time for the triennial election of a superintendent of public schools In the counties of the state Is approaching. It is te be dene en the Oth of May by i con ventien of school directors. In this county the directors of Columbia bor ough nnd Lancaster city elect their own local superintendents in separate con ventieiis, while the ether directors of the county meet together te cheese the county superintendent. In many parts of the state the contest for the ellhe is n very discreditable one aud the agencies employed te secure place are utterly unworthy of dignified aud responsible character. the its We would regret te see such practices re sorted te or come te prevail here, and these who are resiwasible for the Intro ductlen of them should reap the cense quences In disastrous defeat of their schemes. The personal grievances of disappointed candidates for appoint ment te the place, the bargains of peli ticians and the aspirations of place hunt ers should net be allowed te weigh against the iuterests of the public schools und the better judgment of the di rectors. The present superintendent, Mr. Brccht, was appeiuted entirely en hli own merits by State Superintendent Higbee, who has kept the management of his department singularly free from partisan bias and political intrigue. If ftlr. Jlrecht has discharged his duties satisfactorily and no complaint is made against his iltuess, lesser considerations should net inllueuca directors te vote for another aspirant, whesa methods of canvass aud present political associa tions are no recommendations for his election. Tub Philadelphia Press accuses the iNTKLMQUNCKli of misconstruction, because we have maintained that there is nu irreconcilable difference between what Mr.McMaues delegate at large te the Hepublican national convention Bays for himself and what the J 'reus says for him. Llfe may be tee short for the Press te set Itself right as often as the Inti:llieknci:k points out its inconsistencies and misapprehensions. Weeutertaln no doubt that the i'rrss would be rather busied about ether things. Hut, Just te show what a file the Press gnaws at when It undertakes te commit Mr. McManes te the support of Blaine, we take the occasion te reprint Bldobyslde what It says for McManes and what he says for himself : "x'me."'!"","!'- ll'Ae JfclftiMM iy$ Air.

Jin. Blaine is a philosopher. He does net want the presidential nomina tion, unlef s he can get it and be elected. He considers both te be doubtful, aud se he still maintains that he is net a presl dentiai cnndldate. He prefers, under the present outlook, te be the maker of the cnndldate rnther than the candl. date. It is easier for him te make the candidate than te be the candidate; also it will be easier te elect him than himself ; and it will be much better that Ills caudidate should be defeated than that he should he defeated himself. Mr. JJIalne is for nuything substantial that lihilue can get ; and the itinef anlMlnntlnl lnnHn fl.lnef ., """" ' ---" "" " i Is the aecretaryship of atate under his croature president. Mr. Blalne'a clear duty te himself requires the defeat of Arthur, nnd if he can accomplish that feat he has a fair show te muke a satis factory combination with seme suitable presidential stick. Doing n skilled man aaer, and having his vision clear as te what his aim is te be, Blaine will be npt te comeeut of the Chicago lire with the chestnuts in his hand. A 1'RKTKNHKD " llfe long ncquatnt- anco"ef Judge Livingston, writes te the Columbia lltrald that speaking te Judge Livingston en the subject of the J'phrata church dead-lock, he sild te the writer, " Inm right In this matter. The news papers are net sitting In judgment In this case ;" and the correspondent gees en te assure the public that " there will be no weakening in that quarter." The facts of the matter are that, as the two Judges take an opposite view of this case, there can be no agreement and no decree; the administration of justice comes te a stand still ; suitors are de nied their rights. Fer such cases the statute has provided that an out eut out flide judge may be railed in ; the supreme court has sugges'.td that this be done In this particular In stance ; Judge Patterson avows his wil lingness ; Judge Livingston is se positive that he Is "right" that he will net sub mit te such a Judicial arbitrator. The newspapers and the public are no longer " sitting In Judgment In thit case.'" They have long since decided this phase of it. Mil II. M. Mvkiip, of Blair count), who put Milllken in nomination for delegate-at-large In the late ltepublleun state convention, writes that several private tallies show his vote te have been greater than Senater Lee's or Mr. Emery's both having been 1"7. By one tally Mr. Milllken had 1-M veteswith Yerk county te vote, and that county cast three or four votes for Mr. Milllken. Other private tallies confirm this state ment, and it 13 obvious that there is geed greuud for inquiry whether Mr, Milllken was net "left" by accident or design. Swaim Is te be " investigated ;" which Is another way of saying Swaim will be whitewashed. The elector of doubtful eligibility must step down and out. Hits qualifications must be abeve suspicion.

The nllray took place en the read leading from Ashland furnace, owned by the Ashland Ireu company, te the Oregon Ore banks. The parties were Jeshua Gill and Charlei Brewu.

He is a teamster, is a rollicking, geed naturcd fellow aud generally liked, lie Is about 43 years of age and a man of pewerful build. Brewu is about 40 years of age aud works iu the ero banks. Fer seme years pat a fucd has existed iu the family, aud this has beeu particularly bitter between Jeahua Gill and Charles Brewu, ami threats have been made by the latter against the former. Monday morning Gill drove his team past Brewu's house en Ins way te the ero banks te lead Just nfter Gill had passed, Brewu ran out of the heust, ilen-u across the yartl ami into the read. He hallooed at Gdl augrilv, and then Hied a ptstel shot after htm. Te this Gill paid ue heed. Brewu laid iu wait for his brethcr-iu law te return iu the afternoon, lullcamedriviugpist. Stand ing ou the bank, Brewu was waiting pistol m hand. As the teamster came up opposite him Brown Fpran nut into the read aud opened tire at short raiU'O with his revolver. At the tlrc-t shot G ill leaped te the ground, aud as ha did se he drew his pistol. Just then Brown's pistol cooked agaiu, aud a bullet whistled past Gill's ear. Thli was instantly followed by a third shot which just uiised its mark, aud thru Gill com meuced te sheet as Brown was about te tire again. Gill only tired twice, but In rapid succosmeu, aud at the t-eeeml report Brewu reeled aud staggered heavily against the bank as his wife, who had wituessed the sheeting frm the open deer of the house, rau out te her husband's assistance. Gill meuuted his team and at once drove away te Cockeyesvillo aud entered com plaint against Brown for assault with intent te kill. He was in a toweriug rage, said the assault upon him was utterly uu uu prevukedand that he had shot buk in order te save his own life. At that time he did net knew hew serious Brewu's wound was. The warrant was issued. About 1:30 p. m , seme of the members of the wounded man's family sent for Magistrate T. 1).

Only two of the electric lamps were out all last night one nt thn comer of Dukn and James ami oue at Prince ami And row, At Duke ami Vine the lamp was out thtee hours and at the Children's Heme two hours. The oue at Lime uml Locust biiiued peuily fretn 11 o'clock, makl-ig live bad mid ene bundled mid fifteen goad lights. iNone el tun gasoline lamps were reported out. Ne doubt all geed citizens iijeice te notice the tmproved condition of the electric lamps. Fer several nights pus, the number that have net burned at nil or burned poorly has iMently dceirnncd. This improved condition of the light, we are informed, is due te I he correction of eei tain defects iu the line ns originally ueusti noted. The worst el these tlefects was tlm swinging uf tliu lamps en cables no ess the stteets During high wim's the lamps nwaicil te and Ire te such a tlegree as te luterfere materially with the delicate machinery which governs the fall of the carbons A uumber of thu Iniups have already been taken down fiein the swinging enbles ami placed perma neutly ou iron brackets fastened te thn poles. A gteat improvement Is uetketl lu the lamps thus hung Mr. Geerge I. McKelway, of the Mnxiiii ci)mpaiiy,lnierms us that the hanging of the lamps ou cables was done at the request of the lamp com inittee of councils mid iigaltist the judg ment of the Maxim company. Workmen are new eugagetl in taking down all the swinging lamps and placing them oil brackets. Imprrlcrt Oeiiiiiil-IIiiiis, Anether defect discovered by the practi cal workmen who nre new overhauling the entire line is, that tunny of the connec tions were imperfectly formed. The usual uml best connection Is known as the " tel egraph splii'n" ntitl consists of twisting four times each around the ether the ends of the wires te be spliced. It has beeu found ou inspection that at miuiu of Iho splices thus made the Insulating cover of the wire hud net beeu carefully lemeved, and the connection was thus imiitilcct. It wa'i also found that seme of the con neotiens were made by fastening tlie einlis tif the wires tegetlu r by elatnpt, made of cheap brass or ether m.-ial inferior te copper as a coudiictei. A Mill worse means of cenuectiiig the wires was discovered lu a few plaees, they belng merely hooked together by Imps formed by beudiug the cuds of the wiies. The electric current was broken .i leescued greatly wheneer the wires woie disturbed by the wind or uthei oaiiee All these imperfect connections are lit inn cut out ami it Is expected thu line wi. Ivery seen be in perfect order. The I.hkIiiq l'nivrr. Te a suggestion uutle by the rcpei'ei that the two eugiues at the station did i it furnish sufficient power for I'JO lamps, .Mi MoKelway replied that they wem unuti thnu suillcieut. Iu Philadelphia lUi) lamps are fully supplied by euu such engine. The boilers here were made by Best, mid are the best made ; thu shafting by Sellers than whom there is ue better maker ; the dynamos and lamps are uew ami of the best kind, and as seen as seme mistakes made by iiuskilltd men in censttuctiug the line, are corrected, Mr. McKclwny has no doubt that Liucisur will be well pleased with the light furnished by the Maxim company ; a company which he says has mere lights iu use than thu Ful ler, Aruaux, Bi, Sjhul rand all ethers combined except tlie Ilr.nh. Toe Mixim light has beeu adopted by the L'uited States government lu the public buildings iu Philadelphia, New Yerk, Chicago, St. Leuis nndcvery ether city wboie electricity is used, except iu liosteu. l'recutli.in A4lntt HAticr. Te a suggestion made hy the rtpertei that the light was dangerous, as had been shown by a late thunder t-term, during which tlie belling was thrown iiem thn machinery at the station ami the ligbta extinguished ; ami, later, during tlie great suew storm, when se many telephone and telegraph wires weie broken down, the electric light machinery was uet run ler fear of doing damage. Mr. Meludway replied that as a preventive te damage te the machinery by lighteiug, automatic lightning iirresteis hid beeu put iu the works, no that mi aoeidoiit of the kind could net again occur. As te the suew storm, which prostrated se many telephone and telegraph who, it had dene no dam age whatever te Maxim wires, ami the works were stepped for ene night, lest tlie current passing ever the Maxim wires might be carried along seme of the broken telephone wires and de damage iu thut way. In conclusion the reporter told Mr. Mc ICelway his light had been very imperfect ami unsatisfactory, and had failed te ceme up te thu htmidaril guaranteed by the con tract with the city. Mr. Melvelway said he knew it had, but he knew also that it would uet long continue se, ami that Laucaster would cre long be fully Hiitlslied with the light te be furnished. The ropertur hoped .Mr. Melvelway was net mistaken, mid bill him gued-tby. .11 IIUU Alii". All.-SIVi:ttSAl(ll'.IS. rwe t'luusAiii Uerm.leii eiiiiiieiiiurttiliu in .ilHrlml fullrlly. Capt. Wm.
