Afth of the eight Iiuntlrcil applications 'v . tbere. Judge Wee, in making UiIh de- , f'1 clslen, eald no appeals would be heard, ' m the court had spent much tlme In con Metering the matter. Nearly nil the new applications were refused, and nil cases In which it was shown that thore una been wilful violation of the law. Ne licensee were granted te married women. Most of the licenses denled were asked for in the cities and towns, already over ever crowded with taverns and saloons. We commend this ozample te the court here. It shows what can be done by the fearless and intelligent ex ex orcise of that (llsciotlenary power with which the judges are vested, and no part of which they can transfer te anybody else without resorting te a cow ardly subterfuge or employing an extra judicial device. Whenever the nggregate number of llceused places in any com munity exceeds the number reasonably needed for the accommodation of the publle the judges should, of tholrewn motion, call u halt and between the ap plicants declde which Is really best fitted by bis character aud accommodations te supply the publle wants. They scarcely make a pretense here of doing anything of the kind. It is the commeu rule that boyeud a certain limit the greater number of licenses granted, the lower the nvernge of accommodations for the public, and since these accommodations are, in the present state of the law which may net be a geed law, but nevertheless Is the law the basis of the license grant, the judges should scrutinize them closely, anil when they tint! that the pub He will be better accommodated with ene tavern or saloon than with three their obvious duty is te determine which of tliree applicants Is Attest aud te give him alone the license. In Chester county a town like Parkesburg, for Instance, has one hotel and a geed one, because its proprietor can afford te maintain It as such , in Coates ville there are only two, both excellent ; and ether communities have them in proportion. The liquor men ate better satisfied than if the number was largei, because thuy can keep better houses, and make larger prellts ; the temperance folk knew that it is te the advantage of their cause. The number of taverns and saloons here is very much larger, and the quali ty of their accommodations is inferior. Many of them thriveenly by competition and by pandering te a trade the encour agement of which works demoralization. Villages in this county with half the population of l'arkesburg or fourth that of Coatesville are given three tavern licenses without inquiry, and noneof the grantee.!, with such a division of the trade, cau afford te keep a geed house ; the same is mere true of saloons in the towns. The remedy would be entirely with the neuit, if it exercised disere Men and courage both. The lack of u combination of these qualities is the judicial infirmity that tee often hinders a wiseauii infelligeut administration of alicensa law, which in itself Is the pro duct of no great wisdom. Estepped rrem Complaint. The Republicans who are lashing themselves into a fit of virtuous imlig nation ever the ejection of Mr. l'eelle, of Indiana, from Congress and the admis sion of Mr. English in his place, must think that tiie people of the country have very slieit memeiies, if they expect any sympathy from them in their ejacu latlens against the horrid Democrats, who preferred te believe that a Democrat rather than a Republican was elected te a Democratie IIouse. The Itepubli cans in the lait IIouse notoriously used their pewer te Incrci-e their majority, and unseated Demen. its, who they knew were fairly elected, for no ether reason than that they were Deme crats. After settling this precedent se flagrantly as they did, it would be tee much for them te expect the present Democratic Heuse net te be influenced by it. It Is evident that If the conduct of the Itepubllcan majority In the last HoiiBehad been fair, Mr. Peelle might have been Riven the benefit of the doubt as te his election aud been permitted te retain tils seat. Thore was a doubt in the case, as is manifest, from the fact that a number of Deme crats voted against uuseating Petde. But he did nut have a clear claim te his election, and the Democratic majority of iue Heuse was net obliged te sent him ou a doubtful claim, and did net. if either nppllcant for the place w.w te have the beuellt of the doubt, it was the Democratic applicant, no coidlngte Republican precedent. We believe that ene p.uty is nut Justified, by the wreug of the ether, te de wieug it self ; but it has a clear title given It by itu enemies' example te glve all liti doubt as te the light in favor of itselt. The Ite publicans were fairly warned when they uuBeAted Democrats in the hist IIouhe en tne flimsy pretext, that they might expect their chickens home te roost. As we uuderstand thp English Peelle matter, English really had the majority Of the VOtflS. :uwl tuna fiili-lv il.ifn,l while Peelle had the better claim en the record. If the Democratic IIouse lias allowed Us partisanship such scope as te Becure the preference of the equitable ever the legal tltle te the seat It lias con. lined It within a very reapoclable and Justiuable limit, under the Republican example set it. Pennsylvania has many mere dis tinguished citizens whom alie could have mere easily spared and would have mlased less thau Geergo Lear, ex-attorney gen eral, who died yesterday at his home in Doylestown. We believe lie was an honest man, notwithstanding there was an episode in his career as attorney gen gen eral which the Intbllioeneeb felt called iiien te condemn very aeverely, and in which it Is still of the opinion that the oenduct. of his office was very Indiscreet and Irregular. I3ut he was a man of ability, of courage, of honor and of Integrity. Fer whatever of credit and geed sense distinguished the administration of Gov. Ilnrtranft it was very largely indebted te him. He lovelted against the iron rule of the Cameren dynasty and Ins pretest was effective, for he was hugely trusted by the people of his community and by theso whom housed te say would listen and hear if he "steed ou his front steep nnd shouted." He was a lawyer of no mean ability aud In his personal and social iclatieiis he was an amiable and clever man. an excellent citizen, nnd a warm hearted and congenial friend. Ik the bodies of A. T.
