The New York Tribune in remarkinc
upon the never ending talk of the De-
mocracy against banking, and their con-
slant action in favor of it, tells very
apt, illustrative anecdote:
Father" said a youth, whose gov
ernor" was apt to change from piety to
profanity rather abruptly, 81 wish you
would stop either praying or swearing,
don't care which,
The request of the youngster seemed
reasonable, and we don't see why the Dc.
mocracy should not profit by it.

u,,,i,g ,hc Cnse Of ohio.

One Of the most experienced, sensible ana
sound-iudging men Of our acquaintance says
the following paragraphs from an article IN the
New York Tunes ON the subject of a new State
Constitution, Z" hits the case of Ohio exactly =
That our SaS1snstitutiOn is as crude a
snecimen of fIndsmental law as ever sove-
rsign State laborsd under, has been fully dem
onstrated by the experience of eleven yearS 1t
was framed-as no Constitution ever shcnld be
to subsert4 the purposes of a political party
That it was in any respect an improvement we
think no one will noE claim. Wherever II
made departure from that which It supplanted
there has been manifest sacrifice OF the pub
lie interest, and we think the people are prePar-
ed to recognize and correct the errors into which
the Convention of 1876 unfortunately fell
perhaps the worst result Of the changes then
made was in respect TO the Judiciary. Very
few will deny that the character of the Courts
has been essentially degraded; while it is but
too manifest that the benefits expected and pre-
dicted have not been realized. The multitude
of iudqes has utterly failed tOexPedite business,
for never were the tribunals so hopelessly in ar
rears as now, and it IS needless TO say that the
election Of the Judiciary blythe ordinary Politi-
cal machinery has lamentably lowered the cha
racter Of the bench. The privilege of nominat-
inp a JUDGE al q caucus is felt to be a pOoI
equivalent for the loss Of independence and in
tegrity which the process involves. Not but
that worthy men have been thus selected, but
the tendency of the system undeniably is to cor
rupt Justice at the fountain head. We believe
that the people are fully prepared to look favor
ably upon an entire change in the appointment
of the Judiciary.
