. Ijist Tuesday was license day in Hedford
county. The entire day and evening session
of court were taken up in hearing the argu

remonstrants. At the Wednesday morning
session the divisions were announced by
Judge Ilaer. The eight nppliitioiia iu Ited

Thirty-three applications were filed in all.
Twenty-six were granted, thn wen- referred
to a Commissioner to take testimony and
fiiur were refused. This gives A. E. Fyan,
who was refusctf last year, license, which is

We have frequently been asked whether
there was not a rule of Court regulating the
matter of seats within the bar, and if so, why
it was not enforced. There is such a rule,
and if the court olHii-rs would enforce it, as
tiny should, they would at times save the
attorneys and others much inconvenience nnd
aunoyance. The following is the language
ofthe rule: " No la-mons hall be admitted
inside the bar during the sessions if Court
except memla-rs ol uie nar, omccrs oi uie
court, clients, acoonilianicd by their counsel.
uf j,,,,, introduced by the Court or attor
neys ; and tlie offici rs are instructed to
strictly enforce this rule."

Westmoreland county and O. Newton Horn,

who is twenty-six ytars of age, and the

interest to the trial. The parties met at a

They corresionded for two years and during
this period Mr. Horn went to see Misa Hark

For Supreme Judge.
The Holliduysburg HegitlKf of this week,
contains the following editorial, favoring the
nomination of Hon. John Dean, President
Judge of Blair county, for Supreme Judge,
which we most heartily endorse :
"There will la- a Judge of the Supreme
Court to elect at the next election. We have
iu our midst one of the ablest Judges in the
State, who has occupied tlie bench in Iwair
county for the past fifteen years, and for
some twelve years of this time also the
benches of Huntingdon and Cambria coun
ties. He is not only one of the most able
jurists in the State, but he is a gentleman of
dignified and commanding apK.-araiice. and
popular w ith all classes of the eople. His
reputation as au able and learned Judge is
as broad as the State. His divisions are uni
formly plear, forcible and logical, and only
in the rarest instances are they reversed in
the higher court. Although a Republican
at heart, and a believer in the principles and
doctrines of that party, he has always kejit
aloof from the factious quarrels in the poli
tics of ihe State, and thus is secure from the
enmity and opposition of the party leaders in
Pennsylvania. At home, where Judge Dean
i best know n, he enjoy the resect and es
teem of his fellow -citizens, who feel a warm
(icrsonal interest iu him, and a pride that
our county has the honor of being his birth
place and home. During the long term he
has served on the bench his honety and in
tegrity have never leeil impeached, nor has
any charge of corruption or imwniality ever
la-en laid at his door. His splendid educa
tion, long exerience, and rare natural gifts
eminently qualify him as a Judge of tlie .Su
preme Court. We do not Know the feelings
of Hon. John Dean iu this matter, and we be
lieve he has made no effort to secure the
nomination, but when the Republican State
Convention meeut, in our opinion, it can do
no wiser act than to nominate lion. John
Dean, of Blair county, for Supreme Judge.
The loss of him as our President Judge
would be keenly felt by our citizens, but his
elevition to Uie Supreme Bench would be a
gain to the w hole State."
Should Judges Grant Licenses.
When the Ltdyer and the tieord. two of
our most widely read and resjiected journals,
urge that the pending high license bill be
amended to vest In the Judges of theCourto the
granting of liqunr licenses, it is only natural
that our senators and represcnUitives should
take cause to consider well the arguments
thus presented. Roth of our contemporaries
referred to have been among the mo (.earn
est mid consistent advocates of a high license
law, and their admitted sincerity in seeking
to reach the la-t and most prai tii-al reform
license system gives additional weight to
their views.
The Timet has most carefully noted for
some years the effect of discretionary judi
cial power in granting or refusing applica
tions for license, and each year has strength
ened the conviction that it is perilous alike
to the administration of juslii and to the
pror enforcement of a ise license system,
to lodge such awer with the Judges. We
have trii-d that theory for many years, and
it has bred a large measure of contempt for
both law aud Courts. To confer such au
thority on the Courts must imply some
measure of discretion iu granting or refusing
licenses. If the provisions of the law clearly
define the qualifications of applicants, there
is nothing left for Judges to decide, and why
lodge an apjmrent power in the Courta that
lacks the attributes of practical authority?
As tlie law confers discretionary power upon
the tribunal that is to grant or refuse licences,
the Judges are the last officials who
should be thought of to exercise such dis
cretion. The present license law confers upon the
courts outside of this city, the power to grant
or refuse licensi-s to certain presumed limita
tions, and how have the Judges exercised
that lower? Hardly any two of them have
construed tlieir judicial discretion alike ;
aud judicial interpretations of the law range
from absolute prohibition to practically free
license. And the reasons for such startling
variations in the exercise of judicial duties
under the same law, are entirely logical.
Judges are elected by the people ; they are
neither more nor less than human and they
practically interpret the law on the princi
ple ol what may be delicately called popular
sovereignty. When thedominant sentiment
of a county orcommunity is strongly against
license the license law becomes a prohibito
ry statute ; when the dominant seiitiifleut is
for hotels and saloons and plenty of tlieui the
same law becomes substantially a free license
statute, and when Counties or communities
wrangle over license in nearly equal numbers
and quite equal bitterness, the Judges la-come
diplomatic or xilitic would probably lie
better and the law is balanced to givealMiit
equal victories and defeats to the disputants.
An elective judiciary should be most scru
pulously protected against the perils of judi
cial discretion which must offend popular
prejudiies. The license question has al
ready turned the scale iu fully half a dozen
judicial contests before the people, and with
the growing agitation of the issue aud the
certain increase of intensity on both sides
alike in conviction and effort, the continu
ance of judicial discretion in granting and
refusing licenses, would la- a grave jieril to
every conscientious Judge in the State. Our
Judges are charged with the administration
of justice betwcLii man and man, aud in or
der to command public trust in the faithful
discharge of that great duty, they should 1
alwolutely separati-d from all outside issues
which drag Uie judicial ermine into the
slums of jMilitics. There was recently a no
table instance of a defeat for a rciiomihiitiou
of one of the most able and upright Judges
in the State, solely because the saloons were
organized against him. True, the a-ople re
volted and defeated the candidate who won
a nomination by an apsiil to those interest
ed in the most latitudiuous interpretation of
the license law ; but were not the dignity,
the usefulness and the safety ofthe adminis
tration of justice gravely inqicrilcd by such
an issue?
The fundamental theory of a high license
system is that it will regulate the nunila-r of
licenses itself by the increased cost of license,
and that it so clearly defies the qualifications
of applicants and the conditions on which
license shall la- granted, that there is really
nothing left to tlie judicial office hut the en
forcement of the la by the judicial punish
ment of its violati jci. If communities or
nullities shall have any method of prevent
ing license in their limits, it should la- some
m ire distinct method than the discretion of
Judge after he is thuniH-d from post to pil
lar by bitterly disputing citizens, and there
by organized siiiMrtiiig and opjaisitig par
tics to assert themselves as factors in the se
lection of his successor. Whether viewed
from the standpoint of long past exierience
or from the obvious logic of judicial jsilicy,
we regard theargumentas conclusive against
judicial discreUon in the granting of Incenses.

The Galveston Tribune says the following
alaiut Miss Bella Moorv, who will play " En
gaged" at the Oja-ra Hause, Monday evening
next :
It is not a " Fifth Avenue Combination "
nor a -Madison rvniare association, or a
-sjiecially selected all starcoinpairy." They
arejust plain every-tlay a-ople, engaged with
some regard to the eternal fitness of things,
and as a natural sequence of managerial ac
umen displayed in tlieir selection, the Bella
Moore coinatiy, headed by Miss Bella in
propria ja-rsona. talk aud act like ordinary
mortals. At first the audience could not un
derstand just what it all meant, but when
they finally did catch on in full realization
of the merit of the play and the a-rfrmers,
there was more enthusiasm to the square
nth of anatomy present than has ever been
displayed under similar circumstances.
There was no exhibition of seenechewiiig, no
ranting, no cataract of tears. None of those
unnatural prta-ecdings which every lover
knows never occurs in love making and
none of the accepted onuy of stage villany,
where the retl-hantletl ruffian yells in basso
profundo, for b-l-u-d ! Miss Jella Moore at
once stepjwd into popular favor. Prepossess
ing in nppt.-arance she adds to her natural
gifts of dramatic genius a high order of culti
vation, which enables her to display her tal
ents to most excellent advantage. Her voice
is synqatthetic. She sings and dances well,
and in short is one of the star sonbrcttes real
ly deserving of all of the favorable criticisms
which have characterized her stage career.

A New Swindle.
The Bohemian oats dodge being alaiut
played out in its original shajie, owing to
the fact that the farmers have found out the
value of reading newsjiapers, the swindlers
who are wont to make farmers their siecial
prey have evolved a new form of it. They
have been going around Mercer and Craw
ford counties selling eggs for $3 a dozen con
tracting to take all the chickens hatched from
them at each, representing that they are
a very valuable breed. When the rural
housewife has kept these eggs und-jr a set
ting hen a month or more withou'. result au
examination is made and it is discovered
that the eggs are boiled. This is even worse
than the Bohemian outs dtalge iu its former
shaM-, for the oat which the sw indler sold
at $10 a bushel, promising to pay the same
price a-r bushel for the following year'scrop
therefrom, were gisal oats, worth the bight-sit
market prij-c, but, of course, worth nothing
like as much as the farmer paid for them.
This mitigating circumstance, however, was
ofiset by the fact that the contract which
the farmer signed eventually turned up as a
promissory not. The egg notes will a-rhaps
la; heard from later on. I'ltibtdrlpltia Timtf.
The Next State Convention.
The following is from tlie Media American
t 'hainnan Cooper's aaT ami is, of course,
trustworthy :
The Republican State Convention cannot
in-called, in the off years, la-fore the third
Wednesday of August, and doubt less the
State Convention will agree to fix the time
late in August, or early in September. Here
after there will be no Senatorial delegates,
these having been abolished by the last State
Convention, which fixed futtiro representa
tion in accord with the following resolution,
which was unanimously adopted :
Kemlifd, That the office of Senatorial deb
gote be and the same is hereby abolished,
and that bereatter delegates to the ivetiuhli
can State t '(invention shall I elected by the
representative districts only, and that the R
publican State Convention shall hereafter la:
coiiiiHised of delegates eli-cteil from the vari
ous representative districts on the basis of
one delegate for each member ofthe House
of Representatives to which such district is
entitled.
The alaive was printed and generally cir
culated as the first resolution in the platform
of last year. The total number of delegates
hereafter will be 2(11, equal to Uie iiumU-r of
Representatives to the Legislature, and each
district will govern its selection by the num
lier of Representatives to which it is entitled.
If the pew apiKirtioiiment bill passes they
will be governed by that if not, by the old.
Our Harrlsburg Letter.
'im our Special CbrretptmtlenL
Hakkiski uu. May 7, 1W.
This week has lst-n so prolific in gotsl
work, especially iu the House, that there is a
slight rumor that the session might extend a
week or ten days beyond the liith inst., the
day fixed for final adjournment. Both Hous
es must concur in the extension ofthe time,
and while there isa disposition on the part
of some of the Senators to extend the time
tti the one hundred aud fifty days, in order
to get the fifteen hundred dollars salary to
which they would be entitled under the old
law, as only the new Senators one-half
gel the fifteen dollars per diem. The old
Senators get but ten dollais per diem. This
desire, however, is not sympathi.ed ill by tbe
House, which has already given the Senators
thirty-six out of the additional fifty, days and
it is not likely that they will be generous
enough to extend the time. All indications
now look to an adjournment by the nine
teenth. The weather has ln excessively
warm, which increases the desire to get
away.
Monday evening did not accomplish much
outside of the usual routine, and an effort
made by many meniliers to get their bills
made a siecial order, Philadelphia has but
recently discovered that they must have an
elevated railroad, and secured a siecial or
der for their bill, giving swers for an un
derground ami elevated road in cities of the
first and second class. It created considera
ble discussion, inasmuch as the Traction
Coinauy opisised the bill. Mr. Faunce letl
off the op vosit ion with a very able argument
but the hill passed third reading by a large
majority. The Philadelphia mkts wen;
strongly in favor of the movement.
A seciul calendar was made for the week,
and many bills were considered. The ap
propriation bills have nearly all passed final
ly, including tlie general appropriation hill
providing for the expenses of the State, which
give an additional half million of dollars for
the public schools being now a million and
a half dollars of money. This is a very in,-
Hirtant step iu the right direction, the only
tlitliciilty being that the distribution of the
fund is unfair and umspial, inasmuch as the
jioorer districts do not get their share. Hut
all efforts to change the law in that direction
wouid fail at this time, at least ; the rich can
always out-vote the oor.
Night sessions were held during the week,
and the House is now worked to its full ca
pacity. The Senate is doing good work, and
keeps up with the House. The Legislative
ApMirtionment bill passed with a few chang
es, but has not yet been returned to the
House. On Wednesday evening the High
License hill was mailt- a sKcial order, and
was considered far into the night, and a num
ber of important changes were made; among
others was dividing the licenses so as to give
the right to sell beer, ami increasing the li
censes in Boroughs to -1n, and Townships
to $UlO. These amendments are not well re
ceived by the House, and will go a good
ways, towards defeating the bill, but it is be
lieved that the Senate will recede as to some
of the more radical amendments, anil the
House will accept some of the amendments
in a committee of conference, aud that the
bill will pass both Houses finally before the
session adjourns.
The contested election case from Cameron
county came up before the Committee on
elections iu the House this week. The court
had aw arded the seat to George W. Warner,
I H-mocrat, but the Committee, after a most
careful investigation and pains-taking hear
ing, were ofthe opinion that the Democrat
ic Judge was slightly biased in his opinion,
and gave the seat to the Republican mem
ber, George A. Barclay, which is in accordance
with the law and the facts in the case.

Requirements In Manuring.
In the successful management of Ms farm,
every farmer must consider two jsiints, name
ly, the necessary requirements of his soil and
the specific, requirement of the crop that is
to la? grown. The soil may la-deficient in all
the elements that goto make up fertility, and
to such an extent as to render success in the
production of -any crop very improbable.
Here, then is a requirement that must be at
tended to. or else coiltin'ied .failure will lie
likely to la; experienced. Or the soil may la
very ajor iu sitasli, iu which case a potash
manure will lie najuired ; or, again, it may
be deficient in phosphoric acid, in which
case the deficiency must be provitled for.
Disastrous results may sometimes la? avoid
ed, where there is a deficiency of a single ele
ment by the cultivation of somecmp that re
quires a minimum quantity ofthe deficient
element. Manuring then should be for a
double purpose of restoring to the soil ele
ments in which it is deficient, and to supply
the demand of croH that are being grown.
Soil analyses may be made and will give
information alaiut the vegetable nutritious
substances contain.il in it. but as yet they
have been unable to fix upon the degree of
availability for plant nse ; that matter must
be left for the determination of plants them
selves, and at once proves the advantage of
individual experimentation for the purpose
of letting the different crops determine for
themselves the amoiiiitof nutritious substan
ces that they can make use nf, and so deter
mine what must be supplied. This idea of
individual ex-erinientat.ion is gaining im
portance all the time, and those farmers who
are grasping the idea with a full view to its
importance, are the farmers w ho are a little
in advance of others as regards their under
standing of the requirements of the farm as
well as in the success that attends their ef
forts. Germantuam Telegraph.
