It seems tbat tbe woman was omen a iu pay over certain money supposed to be in her possession. 8be declared that she did not have the money and did not control it, but the court held tbat her failure to obey its order was contempt, and sent her to jail. Now, the committing judge has dis charged the prisoner on the ground that he in satisfied she baa no money and cannot p*y Our Boston contemporary says that no matter by what mine eucb a proceeding ie called, it is in fact imprisonment for debt, and nothing else. It was in tho judge's power to keep this poor woman locked up lor the remainder of her life, but fourteen mouths will ap pear monstrous enough now that her inno cence baa been admitted. To insure respect for the judicial author ity judges must be invested with consid erable arbitrary piw.r, sl-.boogb President MadiisuK once said that tbe power of iodg«e to punish for contempt of court was •‘a power iucoasidcnt with Republican institution* ” Although this wa* an ex trema opinion the Massachusetts cate is s strong argument on that line. THK H K \L-TfT OFFH KU’H BBPOBT Klsewbere will be found the report ot Health Officer GaRKiaoN Ur the year 1889 It is remarkably foil and complete and ■hould be carefully read by every cit./jn of Wheeling. Lis statistics and recomen datioos are, vital and interesting. The feature to which the RttUSTKU wishes to call special attention is the re moval and disposition of garhsge. The present system is grossly inadequate, as tbs KHH9TRR has time and egaia pointed oat and the work is fifty per ««•»■ mo,e costly than it is ia Cleveland, Philadel phia, Baltimore or Boston. I he preeent crematory facilities tor tbe disposal of the city’s night soil will not do one-third of the work required. There is no reason whatever wby this ecu dttion should prevail, or wby " heeling should not lie in the very front rank of cleenly and healthy cities. Our death rate is moderate, even nuder preeent cir cumstances, and coold be considerably re doced with proper care and attention. Council should lose no time in erec'icg a crematory south of tbe creek. As will he seen by the statistics presented ia the report, that sectiou of the city, by reason, principally, of its distance from the cre mxtorv. euffn*. A, soon as the tinances of the city per mit, the interests of ths Eighth ward .bould be looked otter, as the Health Of ficer soggests. aOMKTHINW MOKK FROM MR. MAC BKTtl. Mr. GBDKitk A. Macbsth, the Pitts burg glass mannfactorer, who has raised »nch an awfnl lumpnsamoogIhepmUced interests by declaring before the W sys Means Committee that he wanted fie* trade and could pay betfer wages noder free trade than he can now under high pro tection. has been interriewed by the fV/f~ burg /W, and gins seme additional aid interest1 og eiews upon the subject o! the tariff as it sff<cts b» imln-try. Speaking of his risit to the Ways snd Means Com mittee, he said: »*Ybe glass men present knew what thought of ths whole tariff business. and u.it their heads together to see how they o>old manage. »o they got the chairman to call on me to state my caao first, knowing very well that theie would b» no po*-ib e oDDortnnity for me to reply to their state afwU; and all 1 did was to tell the troth <“-IPww treated very nicely indeed by alt of the committee, and occopied the tlwr about two hoars and a half, and the only exception that I could take to the whole proceeding was that Mr. Bayne would put Hypothetical questions at me, and other Jtions which mToUed a ..uumiona public of prirate firm basio^s. wb.ch were altogether immaterial; and I had to 7ay to him. though not in these words, that he reminded me of what Carlisle said boot the Holy Koman Empire, in tbej r*t place it was not holy; in ths second fl oe it wa not Kom*n, and in the thud p!«c- it was not an empire I took the grorn-J that in any consideration of the ! ts’iff, taking it in its entirety, tbe whole system id either right or wrong; it cannot be both. ‘The atcoonte given are very fragmen tary, necessarily, as it would occupy sev eral colnume in a new piper, and ary body in inskirg np thnr minds on the subject shonid coos der the whole of what wae -aid, not a part ot it. Mr. Bayne seemed to ac on the theory that, if he cuald pozze ui«* in answering hypothetical questions he was accomplishing some thing, joat as if it made »nv difference to the pahiic what I thought or what I did, tbe tea! tmth of the matter being 'bn im portant thing for the commit''ee. “I was perfectly astonndrd at the state ments of sortie cf the glass uieu, for some knew they weie not true; and what is more, hey were not true. One Poilacrlohia gla«e maa stated that a certain glass factory in New Eoglsnd bad to go oot of tha busi ness became* th<*v con id net compete with foreign glass. Tuc fact of tbe matter i* the articles made in that factory were not imported at all, and when that kind of good* went oat of ftsb'.oo that glass fac toiy lost its occnpati iu, because it could not compete with Pittsbnrgand with Phil adelph a Tbe factory ivas then c'oeed np, bnt was afterward operated by another ptrty, and the foreman who operated it tcld me not long ago that any man who would a’temp lo op-rate tint factory was a fool. Tee party who tried it closed it op and moved to Philadelphia, and is now actually mana'ae'uiicg goods which are imparted. ‘These man tame down there with de mands of tbe committee to increa e the duty ou all sorts qf things, telling only half tbe tratb, sod any impartial observer after listening to the demands made in that room wentd come to the cocciosioc that the Am* can nation were a ret of babies, always calling on tbe government to help them in <*ome way in carryirg on their business. In place of tbe inannfac ruren of the ccuotiy giving information which would enable the ways and means committee to make up their minds intelli- i nertly, it seems to me three ptople no down with stories concocted so as to de- | ceive the committee. “1 asked Mr. Carlirls bow they man aged to got along, as it was a pnzzle to me. He stated it was txceedingly tire erne and dismasting to see to many miu come down there with a f«lse story, and 1 it was iropo sible for tbecommittee to un derstand every kind of business involved. | While they knew the mao was not telliog the trntb, they did cot know enough about tbe bnsinees-8 involved to com-1 pletely pat him to ti ght. X know several uianctacturirs who 'hick as I do atioat this matter, bat who i have great hesitancy about appearing be fore the committee on accoant of the pub licity of 'h-ir flrtn bneiness. They tried to g«.t me to wrangle over personal matters, aud the malicionsuess of rivals and imita- j bos of car goods w»s very apparent. They never said n word abont the strike to re duce wsges, aid how thsy cussed and have hated me tor not going into it to help them out. All was for lie bene lit of labor. Oh I —yes! a 1 very nice to this case. ‘ Answer uie three ‘tar'll' tints:’ How1 can tn« jroverom-mt protect carpenters, micfeltyers, blacksmiths, machinists, clerks, hired girl-% and hosts of othert?
