The Judicial Election.

The signs of the times indicate that the judi
cial election, which takes place next month, will
not be controlled by partisan feelings or preju-
dices. If the elections in this State during the
last four years teach anything, it is that the peo-
pie dstrust professional politicians and will not
surrender their judgments to partisan outcry.
This independence of party ties affords the
surest guarantee of the stability of our institu-
tions, and should nowhere be more positively
manifested than in the selection of our judiciary.
No greater evils can befall people than the ad-
ministration of the law in the interests of party
solely and apart from the dictates ofjustice. OF
this we have memorable examples in English
history. The execrations heaped upon the Star
chamber and the infamous Jeffries by an out
ragged nation have been echoed by succeeding
generations as justly deserved, and their memory
will remain odious to the end of time. High
legal attainments and purity of moral character
are the only tests by which our Judges should
be chosen and any attempt to apply the shib-
boleth of party in the construction of our courts
should be promptly rebuked at the polls.
Viewed in this light, it cannot be questioned
that Sawyer and Pratt, the Republican nominees
for Supreme Judges, occupy much more favor
able position before the voters than their oppo-
nents.. Some time before nominations were
made, "a large and influential part of the inde-
pendent and Republican press of the State pro-
posed that one Judge be selected from each
party, with reference solely to his qualifications
for the position, and that all political questions
and feelings be entirely put aside. This propo-
sition was scornfully rejected by the leading
Democratic organs, and it was insisted on their
part that the judicial election should be made a
test of party strength. In this spirit Wallace
and Crockett were nominated, and this extreme
partisan attitude should certainly condemn its
representatives to defeat Wallace has nothing
to recommend him to the masses, his record be-
and an intriguing politician. No such objections
can be urged against Judges Sawyer and Pratt
Republican liz principle, they represent no par
ticular political clques or faction. They have
not been selected because of services rendered
by them to the party, but have been put forward
because of their eminent legal ability and uu-
blemished moral character. There are no rea-
sons, then, why Republicans should not unitedly
support the ticket put in the field by their con-
vention. Under the existing facts there is
abundant cause for the earnest, thinking men of
all parties to frown upon this attempt of Demo-
cratic politicians to create partisan judiciary.
Nothing more unfortunate can happen California
then that our Supreme Court should be filled by
professional politicians.

Com Portable Suicides.

An exchange says comfort keeps pace
with civilization, or possibly the two
terms are nearly synonymous. Unpleas-
ant duties will always exist, but the
growth of civilization tends to make
their performance easier aud less dis
tastful. The ordinary business of life
is now transacted far more easily than
il was twenty years ago, thanks to tele-
graphs, underground railways. coucrere
pavements, and other modern convent
ences. And now the friends of the art
of suicide have become imbued with
what New England people call "Drow.
gress," and are making the act of self
destruction as easy and comfortable as
possible. In place of clumsIly blowing

Gilmer riddled with balls fired by IN

that he saw Gilmer's body at Corinth,
and there were five bullet holes in the
back Of his neck.
The body was in charge of Gilmer's
brother, to whom it had been delivered
according to his request. 1t is also
stated that, anticipating death on the
outset OF his journey, he had given
specific directions in regard to the dis
position OF his money, clothes and other
valuables.

for Gilmer from three States were in the
hands of the military authorities at
