'I bc t'lieivtcr Judgeship. Judge Butler Las disclaimed any purpose of a contest against the de cree of the people of Chester which defeated him and elected Mr. Hemp hill. This expression on his part should be Conclusive with his friends. The threat of an attempt to reverse the result upon a technicality is im pulsive, ill-advised and injurious. From every stand-point of public propriety, personal honor and politi cal policy it should be discouraged. If there were any allegation of wrong or any question of the honest majority of the vote cast, it would be a duty-to put it to the test. But there is no such pretence. It is not disputed that Mr. Ilcmphill received a majority of 32 in the vote as cast and returned, nor is it claimed that this return does not express the will of the voters. The only ground for a contest is the fact thftt the polling place for the townships of Lower Oxford and East Nottingham was located outside of their boundaries at the Oxford hotel, and that this was illegal. But the same people have voted in the same place for years; it has in every case been of ficially designated as tne polling, place; it was so designated this year; and nobody has ever before chal lenged its validity. If there is any objection it is purely technical, and it is not the spirit and policy of the law that the honest will of the people should be defeated upon a technicality. It is not possible that a contest resting wholly upon such transpar ent and indefensible grounds could succeed; but even if it could it would bo mo6t dishonorable and unwise. It would simply aggravate and intensify the popular feeling Which produced this defeat. The force of the revolt lias measurably j spent itself in its present success, j The lessoo it has administered, if heeded, would largely satisfy it, But an attempt to overthrow the undoubted reßiilt by the most doubt fid means would add new fuel to the flames. If the friends of Judge Butler are wise they will bow to the verdict of the ballot-box and address them selves to the future. They can only harm his fair name and injure their own interests by proceeding as some of them threaten in the first flush of disappointment and pas sion.—Ex. [Should this case be tried before the courts, the result will be looked for with interest by our readers as the technicality of the law is pre cisely the same as a recent case tried before our courts."] IOWJ'S M:IH BI.ICAN VOTE. One Illiiatrnilon of the Way Ic Una Been Krdured by Prohibition. Davenport, la., is in Scott County. It formerly was strongly Republi can. Half flic Republican voters were Germans. In 1880 Scott County voted for president as fol lows: Garfield (Rep.) 4,322 Hancock (Dem.) 2,594 Republican majority 1,728 The rural districts insisted on 'the "Maine law" and applying it to the whole Ptate. They refused to com promise on Local Option and High License. The wanted Prohibition applied to Davenport, where nearlv every man drank beer, the same as to the farming districts, where few or none tasted any alcoholic bever age. The first presidential election after the "dry" law passed resulted in this way in Scott County: Cleveland 5,197 Blaine 2^740 Democratic majority... <... .2,457 Last year the vote was: Cleveland 5 692 Harrison 2 832 Democratic majority 2,860 Tuesday the vote was: For Prohibition— Hutchison (If. p.) 1,645 For High License— Boies Dem.) 5 284 Hi-1 Lu< iee Si d Democratic | majority 3,639 The change of 1728 Republican majority in 1880 into one of 3639 Democratic in 1889—making a loss of 5367 in one county of 45,000 in habitants—will help to explain why lows, which went. Republican by I 78.000 votes in 1890. lias gone j Democratic now by several thou sand. Whether Prohibition abolish-1 es saloons in the rural districts of lowa or not, it has pretty nearly abolished the Republican party in Scott County without having pre vented the drinking of a glass of whiskey as far as known. The Iv< man Catholic Church cele brated Nov. ll in Baltimore the cen tenary of its episcopal organization. Under the management of the able and far-seeing episcopate of the Church in this country its commun ion has increased in strength and multiplied in membership until the day can not be far distant when a national church will take the place of the missionary organization which has thus far governed and directed the growth and work of the churches in the United States. Until this change takes place, the Roman com munion must lack one of the great sources of local strength which aid other communions whose growth bus been as rapid, but it remains under the liberal tendencies of men like Cardinal Gibbons, tlie support of morals and the nurse of religious feeling and devotion among great classes in our community. The death of State Treasurer Hart, which occurred on Saturday morning, was not only a surprise to peoj.le generally, but Was heard of with sincere sorrow by all who knew that popular gentleman and faithful official. The late Treasur er was a self made man, and had made an honorable record as a sol dier and as a public official. Gover nor Beaver issued a proclamation in which he paid a fitting tribute to the deceased. It is a notable cir cumstance that so soon after the death of General Hartranft should occur tue death of one who was so long and so closely identified with the deceased ex-Governor, not only before, but during and since the war. The vacancy caused by the death of Captain Hart will be filled by appointment by the Governor. As Treasurer-elect Bover will not he eligible to serve duritig the unex pired term on account of beiug a member of the Legislature, the ap pointment will goto another, in all probability to Cashier Livscy, who has at different times filled the of fice, cither by appointment or elec tion. His selection for the place would be quite natural and proper. In a case recently tried in the Allegheny county court, the jury, after being out six hours sent down word to Judge White that they were unable to agree on a verdict, the jury standing 11 to 1 and the one would not give in. Judge While bad the jury brought iuto the court and in kind, but firm words, informed that he was stir prised that they could not agree. The case wa* a trifling one, and in volved lintdlv anything more than the question of costs, as lie had inti mated in his charge. His honor slated that the probability was that the one juror was wrong, as there wore eleven to cne chances that way. The juror should feel that the eleven men were as honest and in telligent as he was. It was not a question of conscience with jurors; is a mistaken idea; it is simply a question of judgment, and a min ority could agree without injury to the conscience. His honor stated that he could not think of discharg ing the jury, and hoped that they would reach a verdict in a few min utes. The obstinate juror was evidently impressed with the judge's remarks, as he immediately gave in to the other eleven, and without leaving the box a verdict of not guilty was handed down.

PETERSBURG, Va., Nov. 6.—There was the greatest excitement among the Democrats of this city last even ing over their victory. A party of young men went to General Mahone's house and fired oil" a lot of rockets. General Mahone ordered them off. They continued their j<>lification, when suddenly a pistol shot was heard and one of tlr; young Demo crats, Herbert Harrison, Cell. He I had been struck by a ball in the ' thigh. Mahone was promptly arrested and taken to the station house. The healing at the station house resulted iu Mahone being held for the action of the Grand Jury and bound over to the December term in the Hust ings Court, iu 82,500. — Ex.

CHICAGO, JS'OV. 10.—The Inter Ocean to-day prints the following from their Washington correspon dent: The story is again repeated that Vice-President Morton has a bar in his new apartment hotel in this city. A despatch has been re ceived here to the effect that 11. 15. Moulton has telegraphed to the Women's Christian Temperance Union Convention iri Chicago yester daj- stating that the only bar-room license in this city has been taken out ftir Vice-President Morton's hotel. The name of H. D. Moulton does not appear iu the latest direc tory ot Washington city, but who ever that person is he has given uew currency in the story that has often been denied. The facts are these: 1. That the Vice-President does not own or keep a hotel here. 2. That he does not lease to any one any hotel, hall, house or apart ment or teuantable habitation of any name or nature here iu which a bar is or has been located. What is generally eal'ed Vice-President Morton's hotel is not a hotel. It is an immense apartment house named "The Shoreham." It is in no sense a hotel. Transient guests are not accommodated there. It is a fur nished apartment house, the furni ture in which is owned by the hotel. The flats are rented in suites only for a term not less than one year. The building i6 likely to be occupied qiiite generally by congressmen. Sixteen congressmen have already accured apartments, and among whom Senator Farwell, of Illinois, and Congressmen Taylor and Can non, of that state. All are obliged to take their quarters for a year. There is no bar in the lioilse. There has been no bar in the house. It is not the intention of anyone to keep a bar in the House. I asked Congressmen Hitt, of Illinois who had received inquiries from his dis trict, as to what he knew about the matter, lie said that he had made a personal investigation with this result: There is not and has been no bar there and it is not the pur pose of ally one tt> keep a bar there. Each apartment is entitled to a vault in tho basement for tho purpose of storing whatever it may be thought desirable to store. They can keep potatoes or liquor or whatever they please, but there is no bar upon the premises. The experience of Mr. Hitt is the experience ol every one. The simple fact is that thef>e is no bar in the Shoreham; Mr. 11. B. Moulton, who is said to have sent a telegram to Chicago stating that there is a bar there, or the editor of the temperance paper which is said to be circulating the report in the West that there is a gorge drinking bar in this establishment, are mis leading the public. There is no bar there. A telegram in an evening paper states that in an address delivered before the convention the statement was made. ' Onf protest should be sent to the Vice-President for per mitting a siloon under his new i h0t61." There is no saloon there, and there lias not been. The base ment is wholly occupied with pri vate vaults for the use of the leasees of the separate apartments. THE FORTY-SECOND STATE. Washington Comes in as the Last of the Northwestern Quartette. Washington, Nov. 11.—The returns of the vote on the adoption o< the Constitution of Washington were received today, duly certified, and this afternoon the President signed the proclamation by which Washington is admitted to the sisterhood of the Union. The proc lamation was signed at 5.27 and Secretary Blaine at once telegraphed the fact to the territorial and state governors. The proclamation is in the Usual form. The admission of Washington makes the number of states now in the Union forty-two, and the one admitted to-day is the Inst, of the four which prepared for statehood in October. The two Dakotas and Montana were ad mitted by proclamation previously. Trial Utot For December Term, 'S9* 1 (REIUKN DAY DUO. »th. ISS9.) No. 1 J. W.
