We can say but little concerning the judicial
qualifications of the Judge, the few cases pre-
septedlnot furnishing any just data ON which to
base an estimate. But his high reputation as
advocate, combined with his apparently firm aud
courteous dsportm1nt towards the counsel in
cases presented, warrants the opu uion that he will
be just and an elective officer.

LEGALTENDER IN WAR ANDPEACF

Hon. E. G. Spaulding, author OF the
legal tender act, in recent letter from
Buffalo, New York, to the Secretary of
the Treasury, declares his belief that, as
a peace measure, the legal tender law is
Unconstitutional. He says:
Gas war measure, passed during war,
continuing during the war, and as long as
the exigency lasted, / believe it was
necessary and proper to successfully
carry on the war, and was therefore con-
stitutional. am equally clear that, as
peace measure, it IS unconstitutional.
No one would now think of passing a
legal tender act making the promises of
the government "a mere form of credit 4
legal tender in payment of all debts, pub
lie and private. Such law, passed
while the government is on peace foot
ing, could not be sustained for one mo-
ment. | think now that it is unfortunate
that we did not have incorporated into
the original legal tender act, at the time
Of its passage, a provision that the legal
tender clause should cease to be operative
in one year after the close of the war.
In that case all parties would have shaped
their business accordingly, and the law
would have served its purpose as war
measure, and would not have been con
tinued las l think unnecessarily so long
al ter the close Of the war.
81 see that the constitutionality OF the
law has finally come up for decision be-
fore the Supreme Court Of the United
States at Washington If the court hat
been called upon TO decide the question
during the war, or at its close, they woul(
most likely have decided that the Law
was valid, inasmuch as Congress had de
cided that it was q necessary and prOpe
means to be used in crushing the rebel
lion; but the law has been continued il
force so long after the close of the wa
without any real necessity for it, that
should not be much surprised the couI
| should now declare it unconstltutiona
II Congress will not act promptly in de

n Of specie payments, it will perhaps be {
$ well for the country in long run, if tt
court on due deliberation, should deciC
the leeal-tender clause to be unconstitr
tional. This would involve serious col
sequences for while, and business q

REMARE OF RENzINE.

From the facility with winch II removes
grease>spots from fabrics, this substance
has come to be regarded almost as a
household indispensable. But few per-
sons, however, realize the explosive char
acter of benzine, or the dangers attend~
ing the careless handling of the liquid.
Being one of the most volatile and in
flammable products resulting from the
distiIlation Of petroleum, it vapOrizes with
great rapidity, so that the contents Of
four ounce vial, if overturned, would rem
der the air highly explosive. The great
est care should be exercised in handling
this substance in proximity to fire, and il
is important to remember that the vapOr
escaping from an uncorked bottle vii
