The cessation is said to be due to German mediation. It is report ed that fully 4,500 of the French troops in Tonquin are sick. The French have gained too little in this unnecessary war to repay them for the expense and trouble. THE bunko thieves continue to flour ish in Denver. They recently robbed a rich ranchman of $10,000. It seems rather singular that the authorities of the Queen City of the Plains permit these scoundrels to make that place their headcoiarters. It looks very much as if the bunkoists were paying a lib eral percentage to some one for the privilege of robbing visitors. "IT struck me as rather peculiar , " said an old gentleman in this office a day or two ago , "that as I came here from the east I saw no babies on the train un til after I got west of Chicago. From that time on there were lots of 'em , and the further west we traveled the more babies there seemed to be. I suppose they were taking an early start to grow up with the country. " Beatrice Ex press. THE ancient world had its priestesses , and was ever wont to see its sweetest and highest ideals Beauty , Love , Wis dom , Justice in woman form. It is a touch of nature that paints Dante be side , but looking up to , Beatrice.In all the world's dark history of blood and chaos , womanhood has stood stainless and steadfast linked close to God to tiolcl humanity to its orbit by the power of deathless love. In all the crisjs of life , when the heart breaks , when faith fails , when the strong man bows himself to storm and agony , it is to the mother- face he looks , to the hand that held his first he clings. Selected. THE project of a railway tunnel un der the straits of Dover , connecting France and England , has long been dis cussed , and while Captain Eads was in England he was consulted as to its feas ibility. Captain Eads pronounces the enterprise entirely practicable as the bearings in the earth show no great ob stacle to the construction of the tunnel. It would certainly be a great enterprise , and would be appreciated by the multi tudes who daily cross the rough seas of the English channel. The main obsta cle , however , to the proposed tunnel is England's hostility to the project , on the ground that it might be used advan tageously against England in case of hostility. This fear is certainly absurd , for England and France could stop up the ends of the tunnel in case of war , and let it remain unused during hostili ties. Bee. WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington , D. C. , Sept. 29. ' 84. The retirement of Commissioner Dudley from the Pension OHice on the 10th of November , will be hailed with eminent satisfaction by all who believe that the afiairs of the Pension Oflice can be more satisfactorily ad ministered. Mr. Dudley's manage ment has brought the ofiice three years behind in its business , although he has had an army of clerks , and the expense of running his office for a single year has amounted to $850,000. The fact that applications for pensions filed as long ago as 1882 are just be ginning to be reached in their order , shows a , want of system or discipline or both , which can be readily supplied by some one who has a better appreci ation of his official duties. If the ad ministration carries out its ideas of Civil Service Reform with sincerity , Major Clarke , the present Assistant Commissioner , with advanced ideas upon a proper pension system , would and should receive the appointment. The necessity for a reorganization of the United States Supreme Court becomes more and more pressing with the advent of each recurring session. \Vith nine judges almost constantly at work , the court is still so overrun with new cases that it has become an absolute impossibility to advance even a step upon the three years that the court has lagged behind its calendar. Sitting from October to May , these judges dispose of about three hundred cases , while the number of new cases that it will encounter at the opening of the session next month will be up wards of 400 , thus throwing its work back still another year. Thrice has the Senate passed a bill looking to the relief of the court , by reducing the numper of appeals and conferring in creased jurisdiction upon inferior courts , but the House has each time failed to reach the bills , though the Speaker's table was loaded with pe titions praying for action upon them. Under the present right of appeal , this , the highest tribunal in the land , has infinitely more of its time occu pied with petty cases that involve neither principle nor property , than with those involving grave constitu tional questions. The personnel of the Supreme Court has often been remarked upon , but I have never seen a newspaper description that did the court justice. Beginning with'Chief Justice AVaite , whose grey hair and beard and big mouth and big nose are all that bear any resemblance to a judge , one is set to wondering how any such a look ing man as that could ever get into a seat once occupied by Marshall ? Mil ler , who sits afc the right of the Chief Justice , has the bearing , the learning an-.l all the requisites of a judge , ex cept the appearance , which is that of a thrifty Iowa husbandman. Justice Field , the left supporter of the Chief Justice , is a gander-legged , bald- [ leaded , full-bearded , gold-bowed- spectacled lawyer , whose chief quali fication for his appointment consisted of his bein"1 the brother of David O Dudley a'nd Cyrus W. He is a Dem ocrat , and a hard-shelled one at that. Justice Bradley is a small man. with large capacity for somnolence on the bench. lie is , however , clear-headed , and has no reason to keep nwake to listen to the soporific Supreme Court arguments. Harlan is a handsome O Kentuckian who is long all over as well as long-headed. He chews to bacco amazingly , but withal is an ex cellent judge who writes excellent opinions. Woods was little known as a soldier in Georgia , but will be less known as : i judge , while Gray , of Boston , is every inch of his six feet four , a stalwart specimen of the New England jurist. Gray is an old bach elor , crispy and snappy , but he can work off more business than any two of his associates. Stanley Matthews has no business on the bench of the Supreme Court , and Blatchibrd , who was an admirable district court judge in New York , is not basement high in this court. DOM PEDIIO.
