JOHN L. JONES. Supreme Court .Fudges. There has been a vacancy in the Su preme Court of Pennsylvania since the death of Justice Williams, some months ago. It should have been filled prompt ly by a temporary commission issued by the Governor, as the court had several months of regular sessions be fore it; but political necessities inter vened, and the vacancy has not been filled, although the appointment was tendered by the Governor to Mr. Wat son of Pittsburg, and Mr. Wolverton, Sunbury, both Democrats, who declined the position. It was expected that Governor Stone would appoint the nominee of the Democratic convention, but it is now intimated that he will await the action of the Republican convention and then choose one of the candidates, both of whom will be certain of election. He could not now select a Republican with out offending a score or so of applicants for the position, but he could appoint the nominee of the convention without any political complications. It has been intimated that if Governor Stone were to appoint the Democratic _ candidate for Supreme Judge, and thus give him some six months of service in advance of the Republican to be elected in November, he might have priority over his Republican associate, but that apprehension is unfounded. When Judge Mestrezat and his fellow Repub lican Judge shall have been elected in November, they will at their own con venience draw lots for the senior com mission, and the one drawing the senior commission will become the Chief Justice and the other cannot attain that distinction if both shall serve their full terms. The Chief Justiceship goes in turn to the oldest commission held by a Judge of the court. Chief Justice Black was elected in 1851, along with Gibson and others, and drew the senior com mission, that made him at once Chief Justice and gave him but three years of service. He was re-elected in 1854, but was immediately remanded from the Chief Justiceship to the foot of the bench. It is a notable fact that but one Judge of the Supreme Court has been re-elect ed since the elective judiciary was in augurated in 1851. The Judge who gained that exceptional honor was Jeremiah S. Black. Chief Justice was defeated in a contest for re-election by the yet living Ex-Chief Justice Agnew in 1863, and Chief Justice Thompson was defeated for re-election by the late Chief Justice Mercur in 1872. Judge Porter, Judge Heydrick and Judge Samuel G. Thompson all served brief periods bv appointment, and were defeated in a contest for election. From 1851 until the adoption of the Constitution of 1874 Supreme Judges were eligible for re-election. The term was then fifteen years, but under the new Constitution it was extended to twenty-one years with ineligibility to succeed themselves. It is remarkable, however, that for a period of twenty three years, when the Judges were elected and the terra only fifteen years, but one of our Supreme Judges was ever re-elected by the people.—Phila delphia Times. POLITICAL. State Chairman Elkin thinks Thurs day, August 24th, would be a good day for the Republican State Convention, and is securing the opinions of the State Committeemen. HARRISBUItG. The indictments in the Legislative bribery cases were submitted to the Grand jury last Thursday, after Judge Simonton had instructed the jurors on the law governing bribery. The first case considered by the jury was that against ex-Senator John J. Coyle of Philadelphia, charging him with at tempting to bribe Representatives John Engler, of Lycoming; Peter J. Criste, of Northumberland and IrvingN. Johnson and B. Frank Miller of Northampton to vote for the McCarrell jury bill, and sign the Spatz paper pledging their votes to George A. Jenks, the Demo cratic candidate for United States Sen ator, and not to vote for an independent Republican. There were eight counts in the indictment against Coyle, and all were ignored but that relating to the alleged attempt to bribe Mr. Engler. rln his charge Judge Simonton told the jurors that they must consider the bills of indictment the same as they would consider any crime. They should pay no attention to politics in connec tion with them, and inquire into the the cases to ascertain if the parties mentioned in the indictment did offer money or anything else in their endeav or to secure the votes of Legislators on any pending legislation. The cases in which true bills are found will be tried in the December term of Court. On Friday the Grand Jury returned true bills in the cases ot ex-Representa tives John R. Byrne of Fayette and Thomas M. Moyles, of Luzerne, charg ed with corrupt solicitation during the contest in the Legislature oyer a suc cessor to Senator M. S. Quay and the passage of the McCarrell jury bill. A true bill was also found against Robert Evans of Philadelphia, who is alleged to have offered to Representative Win. C. Norton of Wayne countv to vote to reconsider the McCarrell bill. The bills ®f indictment were ignored against Representative Charles B. Spatz of Berks county and ex-Congressman Monroe H. Kulp of Northumberland county, charged with corrupt solicita tion. Mr. Spatz was charged with hav ing offered a consideration to Represen tatives I. N. Johnson and Philip H. Heil of Northampton county to sign a paper pledging their support to George A. Jenks so long as he was the Demo cratic caucus nominee for United States Senator. Mr. Kulp was charged with having offered s2oo,and later SBOO, to Representative Francis E. Brown, of Union, Democrat, to remain away from the joint convention on the first ballot for United States Senator. The Grand Jury ignored the bill of indictment against John J. Coyle and Michael J. Costello of Philadelphia charging them with corruptly soliciting Representative John Engler of Lycom ing county to vote to reconsider the McCarrell jnry bill. The jury return ed a true bill in the case in which Coyle is charged with having offered Mr. En gler a bribe to vote for this bill, and ignored the other counts in tLie indict ment charging him with corruptly so liciting Representatives P. J. Criste of Northumberland and I. N. Johnson and B. Frank Miller of.Northampton. The jury returned a "no true bill" in the case against Frank B. Jones of Philadelphia, who is alleged to have of fered Representative Palmer Laubach ' of Philadelphia, a five years' position in the Philadelphia mint or custom house to vote for ex Senator Quay. The indictment against Parker H. Ti-! tus of Bangor, charged with having of fered H bribe to Representative P. H. Heil of Northampton, to vote for ex Snator Quay, will be submitted to the Grand Jury at the September term. The cases in which true bills have 1 been found will be tried in September. J LOCKWOOD AND HAVE MEYER. The Industrial Commission now sit- j tini» in Washington, and of which our j esteemed fellow citizen. Thomas W. Phillips, is President has been listening to sone interesting evidence of late. Another of our esteemed fellow citi zens, L. M- Lockwood of Zelienople. oil 1 producer, testified before it last Satur day, and as his special grievance is the j Standard Oil Co., he went into its his tory and blamed the railroads with building it up by giving it rebates. ,- If you have got to be robbed," he ex claimed. "it does not matter much whether yoa are held up by Dick Tur pin with a pistol or by John Rockefel ler with a railroad: it is robberv all the same." He said that men who bad carefully analyzed the testimony taken liefore the Hepburn committee estimated that in 16 months' time the five trunk lines in Pennsylvania had paid the Standard Oil Company #11,000,000 in rebates. The railroads companies had. he said, com pletely ignored the orders of the Inter- State Commission to cease their discrim ination in fayor of the Standard Com pany. resorting even to the system of false billing. Spent ing of the remedy for the evil, Mr. Lockwood said it is in public own ership of the railroads and it is not to be found in the courts. The courts are to slow and expensive. The railroads and the oil company can race a man up and down in the courts for 10 years," he said, "until he is ruined financially, and then go on with their work, leaving their victim stranded, As a reward, the combines elevate their instruments to higher places politically. Thus it is that the belief of the common people is gradually becoming fixed that the great railroad combines are gradually packing the Supreme Courts with men in sympathy with their monopolistic tendencies and who will do their bidding. Thus the Inter-State Commerce law is rendered ineffective." "If the railroads can control the ap pointment of the Attorney General and of Justices of the Supreme Court, what do they care for the lawthe witness asked. "The only safe plan," said Mr. Lock wood. "is to take the railroads out of the hands of the corporations and place them under control of the Government, so that every man can go to market as cheaply as every other man." He con sidered all the railroads of the country as practically one gigantic trust, and asserted that they are in control of our politics, contributing millions to elect Legislators, Senators and Judges and to punish those not willing to do their bidding. A few days before that the star wit ness was Henry O. Havemeyer of New York, President of the American Sugar Refining Co., the head of the combine, who read a carefully prepared statement on trusts which began as follows: The mother of all trusts is the cus toms tariff hill. The existing bill and the p ret ceding one have been the occas ion of the formation of all the large trusts with very few exceptions, inas much as they provide for an inordinate protection to all the interests of the country—sugar refining excepted. Eco nomic advantages incident to the con solidation of large interests in the same line of business are a great incentive to their formation, but these bear a very insignificant proportion to the advan tages granted in the way of protection under the customs tariff. There proba bly is not an industry that requires a protection of more than 10 per cent, ad valdorem, and it is to obtain what is provided over such percentage in the tariff that leads to the formation of what are commonly spoken of as "trusts.' "With a protection to an industry not exceeding 10 per cent, all menace to the community from trusts would cease. This 10 per cent would represent the difference in cost of production,and like wise act as a protection against surplus products of foreign countries being dumped in our local markets, thereby interfering with the regular and eco nomic working of our industries. Any advantages that might then accrue to such combinations they would not be damaged thereby, as any expansion of price would be met by foreign competi tion and relief. I have said that sugar was an exception. The rate of protec tion on sugar is | of a cent per pound, which is about 3i percent, ad valorem, and is not the difference in the cost of refining between this and foreign coun tries. The least it should have is 8 per cent., or, in specfic figures, ± per cent, per pound. The sugar refining industry of this country, no matter what form its organization, is entitled to adequate pro tection. If any industry is. There are at least 100,000 persons dependent upon it. What it pays or has paid to its stockholders in the past represents noth ing more than a fair return on the ex tent of the business. "The United States tariff bill in as se«ing about S4O per ton duty on import ed sugar, pays into the pockets of a few Louisianans on their annnal cr0p,250000 tons, $10,000,000; to the Hawailian is landers, probably represented by 150 foreigners, on their annual crop of 250- 000 tons, $10,000,000; say 100,000 tons produced elsewhere in the United States $4,000,000. Here you have $24,000,000 extracted from the people of the United States for the sake of getting the reve nue which S4O per ton on foreign sugar provides. This is merely illustrative of the whole tariff and its effect upon the people. In fact, the tariff bill clutches the people by the throat, and then the Governors and the Attorney Generals of the several States take ac tion, not against the cause, but against the machinery which the people enploy to rifle the public's pockets. There ap pears to be in the public mind a distinc tion between robbery by an individual and that by a corporation. What is commendable in an individual appears to be dishonest in a corporation. I maintain that it is immaterial to the public in what form business is done— whether by an individual, firm, corpora tion or even trust. These are merely forms of conducting business, or, in other words, machinery for the opera tion of business. It is the duty of the government to see that under the tariff laws they enact this machinery cannot in its actions result to the detriment or impoverishment public. "It would have been very easy and proper for the government to have put a corresponding internal revenue tax on sugar simultaneously with the imposi tion of the customs duty, and have these $24,,OOO,OOO, and as they contain bnt 50,0000 inhabitants, it amounts to ¥IOO per head, which far exceeds Speaker Reed's sarcastic brag that we got the yellow-bellies of the Philippines at S2O apiece. Germany's purpose in buying the islands is a matter of conjecture. They are of no commercial use to her. Harmony and Zelienople. Attorney L. M. Wise, of Butler, was in Harmony on legal business, on Mon day. Wedding invitations are out for the marriage of Miss Margarite Boggs daughter of D. P. Boggs, of Harmony.

June 13th. was the scene of a pleasant social gathering. About four hundred friends and relatives assembled in a beautiful grove near his residence for a joyous repast. Every person enjoyed themselves in conver sation anil in renewing old and forming new acquaintances. Finally dinner was announced by the chairman, Mr. Seth Snyder.

The American Railways Company of Philadelphia has absorbed the Consoli dated Traction Company of Pittsbnrg. The negotiations leading up to the actual agreements were very qnietlj conducted, and there are still minor de tails to be settled before the actual transfer of stock will take place. It is stated unofficially that within a short time the United Traction Com pany will also be taken over. For some time past tab has been kept upon the traffic of the company and there are strong indications that the United will be included in the deal. The important disclosure now made is the fact that, while the American Railways Company will purchase the stock of the Consolidated Traction Company, there will be no change in the directory or officials of the local compan3'. Senator C. L. Magee will retain the presidency, and the present board of- directors will continue to serve. Comprehensively stated the American Railways Company really underwrites the stock of the Consoli dated Company. It bnys the stock, paving for it in 4or 4i per cent bonds of "the Amei lean Railways Company, to be issued upon the collateral represent ed by the stock purchased. The authorized capital stock of the Consolidated Traction Company is $24.- 500,000; of this $15,000,000 is common and $9,500,000 preferred. The pre ferred stock bears 0 per cent interest. IT is published that John Wanamaker has just made a contract with a New York paper for a page advertisement six days each week for one year for $250,000. Turned ii Cannon 011 it. Hennessey, a small town in Southern Oklahoma, escaped being blown away by a cyclone by a remarkable scheme of John Rhodes, one of Hennessey's cit izens. About 4 o'clock a cloud began to form and soon a funnel-shaped cloud was swooping down upon the town. When it was within 50 yards of the town Rhodes aimed his big cannon at it and discharged the contents of salt and sulphur. The result was the immediate bursting of the cyclone cloud. The clouds scattered and fell on the side of the town, doing no damage whateyer. THE cyclone that destroyed New Richmond. Wis. also destroyed about two hundred farm houses in that vicin ity. That part of Wisconsin is full of small lakes and a man who drove over it after the storm said the "cyclone dropped upon the lakes in Warren twp. licking up the water and leaving the lakes clean and dry, while the mud from the bottom of the lake was scat tered for miles. Directly south of New Richmond the Park Association's racing track and ful ly 15 farmhouses lie in ruins. North of Clear lake the storm traveled through the timber and spent itself in Lake Su perior. Many lives must have been lost and many people lett homeless near Stanton and Clear lake. Card of Thanks.

Mr. Monroe got his foot badly cut by the steam hammer at Spang's machine shop last week. Middlctown. Socials, entertainments and lawn fetes have been quite numerous in this vicinity of late with more to follow in their wake. Notwithstanding the fact that the matrimonial boom seems to be on hand there are still a number of desirable bachelors left on the market here, who might consent to become the junior partner for life in a matter of this kind if favorable inducements are held out by a number of the other sex. From present appearances it looks as if much of the fall grain will be stand ing in shock by the last of the present month. T. R.

The funeral of Samuel Brown which took place on last Wednesday at Zion cemetery was the largest ever seen in this community. More than one hun dred carriages were in attendance and owing to the immense throng the funer al services were he]d in the beantfful grove adjoining the cemetery and were conducted by Rev. Mclntyie assisted by Rev. Alshousa. The funeral obse quies at the grave were conducted by McDermott post 223 G. A. R. and were highly impressive in their nature and rendition. R. P. Scott, Esq. of Butler delivered the funeral address to the members of the Post. All of the speak ers paid high tributes of respect to the memory of the deceased. Mr. Brown had been a sufferer far about 7 years with a cancer in the month. He had taken no solid nourishment for about three years next proceeding his death. Although his sufferings were intense he was never known to murmur nor to complain on their account. That Mr. Brown was universally held in high es teem was abundantly attested to by the presence of such a large concourse at his funeral. SILEX.
