RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS
Opinion Of Secretary Richardson.-A

developed under our present system Of
currency. "We have been SO long
without specie" he said, smiling, ''that
we can scarcely tell what effect resump.

The Elective Judiciary.

A leading member of the Ohio Con-
stitutional Convention lately said that,
while he regarded the principle of an
elective judiciary as fatally false, he
did not dare, in the Conventional pro-
pose to abandon it. "Our Judges have
not yet been demoralized, and every
demagogue in the State would be howl
ing at me as an aristocrat who wanted
to take away power from the people"
Ohio papers, however, are beginning to
force the question upon the Convention.
Thus the Cincinnati Gazette, an influ-
entail Republican journal, sums up it's
objections to the elective system:
''It has not kept up the character of
the Ohio judiciary. The good judges
cannot redeem the system from the
poor. 1t has not done it's worst with
us, but is continually growing worse.
New political institutions generally
start out with high resolves, which in
the beginning fill them with good OFF,
GERS. The debasement to the common
level comes by degrees. The nomina-
ton or election of a Judge is not now
regarded by lawyers nor by any intel.
ligent persons as an evidence of judi
cial fitness. The judicial Office is by
degrees settling down to the small law
per who supplements his small legal ca
pacity by being small politician. Re-
spect for the judiciary is on tho decline.
Judges are more and more looking to
popular influences in their acts. Judi
cial decisions are losing more and more
the weight of that learning which may
give an approach to exactness and Ger
taiDty, and are taking on the character
of a trial of chances, to be repeated
through courts of different degrees"
The New York Tribune declares that
truer words were never spoken" and
instances the New York judiciary as an
evidence of the decentralization of the
elective system. 1t strongly favors a
return to the old system of appointing
Judges.

Destroyer and am fully satisfied
with its results. It kills the worm
and will not injure the cotton, un.

will stand a long rainy spell or not
