Alorc Pay for Judges.
LACKAWANNA'S Interest lit
Senalor Vntlghan's bill to In
i'I'piih" the nay of Judges In
errlaln enmities fiom $I,01HI to
$ii.nnf) a year ailses fiom the fact that
I.ai'Uawanna Is one of the counties ami
thai lis judses work hard enough to
deserve the Increase proposed. Homo of
our foremost lawyers have on a nuiii
hor of occasions heen comiielled to de
cline proffered appointments or nomi
nations to the heneh because, of the
pecuniary sacrlllee. which aeceptanee
would Involve. In other cases accept
ances ami saerlllces have been made
from a sense of duty, although a good
Judge ought certainly to he as well paid
as a good practitioner of the law.
However It may be In other counties,
It certainly is true In Lackawanna
county that ll.nno a year Is Inadequate
compensation for the judges: and for
I his reason It Is hoped that the
A'aughan bill, which has already passed
the senate,' may speedily pass the
house.

Touching the Quick.
ON SATIHSDAY last, the seven-ly-nintli
anniversary of t lis
birib or t'lysscs S. Grant, at
the great memorial services
held lu iikiny cities of this Union,
there were wise and patriotic and elo
quent udilrossps made by men high lu
tlio esteem of their fellow citizens.
Hut at (ialena, Illinois, as was in a
way most lltting that it should bo so,
those words were spoken that, pre
eminently, wore most worthy to 1)3
spoken at tills lime when one South
ern slate lifter another Is deliberately
setting at diMiauce the enactments of
the Federal Constitution, and prepar
ing' both to disfranchise the negro and
yet count him lu the representative
population, so as to hold and wield a
power In congress out of all propor
tion. I'eforo the war brought on' by
secession the Southern states domin
ated congress by counting tbiee-tlftlis
of Ihe number of their slaves as
though they were voters. Now they
propose to disfranchise the free negro
and count the whole number as they
did Ihe three-llflhs of shivery days.
Itev. Mr. Iirank W. (iunsauliis, of
Chicago, was the orator of the day at
ialjna.;i'hcre wore present great
numbers of people from Chicago and
i large number of tlraiid Army posts
tml hundreds of delegations from sur
oundliig towns. On the burning ques
tion of which we speak, and which
will compel the lighting of it out on
the. Hour of congress by tlio stales
which ham bean always loyal, Mr.
(Iunsauliis spoke in no uncertain
tones, lie said lu part:

A Real Patriotic Society.
Tlli-J NRW YORK Htate So
ciety for the Preservation of
Scenic and Historic I'laces
and Objects lias, by an act
of tlio legislature of that slate, which
bus received the governor's signature,
become the American Scenic, and His
toric Preservation society. It can now
work in any state of the tinolon and
hopes for a largo Increase to its mem
bership from persons who sympathize
with Its alms, in whntevci common
wealth of ibis land they may re
side. The New York Times, in taking no
tice of the largely Increased attend
ance at the meeting of the society,
following the enlarged scope and pow
ers given to it, remarks that of all
the .societies! known collectively as "(ho
patriotic societies," no other has
shown so much disinterested enthus
iasm lind Intelligence in the work of
marking and preserving the sites of
historic events.
I!ut the point especially uin do by
the Times, that "membership Is not
founded on descent; nor have efforts
been made in any way lo dignify In
dividual members through their anees
tois" Is one that must most' effectively
recommend It to I ho American people.
The disgraceful squabbles and the
style of electioneering for olllces lu
divers of the so-called "patriotic" so
cieties, and the not even veiled at
tempt to erect their membership into
an "aristocracy" as exclusive as any
which carry titles of rank In Kuropean
countries, form very disagreeable
reading for truly self-respecting and
patriotic Americans, whether these
bo of earlier or later American de
scent or birth.
A society really American, ndniitllng
to membership any American, born or
naturalized, who cares for preserving
the historic sites and places of this
land of his birth or adoption, is the
society of which to bo proud anrt that
may well command an ever-increasing
membership and tile enthusiastic de
votion and loyal work 'of its constitu
ency. Director Keller of the Vienna insti
tute for the Mind has been exhibiting
lo the assembled physicians of that
city a seven-year-old boy born "brain
blind" whom, by laborious, painstaking
and long continued training lie has
taught to see. The "brain blind" are
those born with pormnl, perfectly
formed eyes. What the deficiency Is
that prevents the brain from taking
cognizance of Images thrown on the re
tina has apparently never been known.
Hul. at all events, by means of 11 disc,
of brilliant light in a dark room, ami
unfailing persistence, Director Keller
has in one case overcome the obstacle.
Tlie contractor who lias undertaken
to raise the battleship .Maine, blown up
in the harbor of Jlavnna, declared in
Chicago last Saturday that the divers
had found the vessel less damaged than
has been believed. Tlie Maine has sunk
no lower, he says, than when he ex
amined It two years ago. Ho Is conH
ilent of success ill raising the famed
ship, and, after repairing her at the
Havana docks, of "bringing bur homo

Chamberlain, of Chicago. America will

California capitalists are about to
send out a band of prospectors under
the lead of an Arizona gold-miner, John
It. Farroll, to seed; for thu gold mines
