DUNBAR AGAINST THE FARMERS, CAN.
INNATE

Hon. Charles Durham, of Geneseo. the
Democratic and Liberal member of the
legislature from this district, has written a
very long letter in favor Of c. B. Lawrence
Tor the Supreme Court The letter is in
genious and able, but we think it a very
unfortunate one-for its author. 1t is
published in the GeneseO Republic of May
SOth-a weekly paper of very small circu-
lation-and will be read by only a very few
Of the voters before Monday-election dav.
Neither could any comments we might
feel disposed to make upon the letter
reach but few of the voters previous
to that day-yet we cannot forbear calling
attention to one or two points.
Mr.. Durham says that Judge Lawrence
is called the candidate of the railroads
and lawyers by the Chicago Times, Chica-
go Journal, and few lesser lights - and
then he proceeds to a criticism of the mo-
tives of these papers in supporting Judge
Craig. 1t occurs to us, as one of the
lesser lights, that when Mr.. Durham
attributes unworthy motives to other peo-
In opposing Lawrence he will provoke sug-
gestons as to why he, at this time. ap-
pears as the champion of the railroad mo-
nopoly candidate
Mr. Durham thinks ''the crusade
against Judge Lawrence is exceedingly
foolish. Other people may perhaps
think the crusade against Judge Craig ex-
ceedingly foolish. Mr.. Lawrence has no
presumption right to the Office and the peo-
are, or ought to be, entirely free to choose
whomsoever they please, without being
called foolish. - If they are not free to
do so then the election of judges by the
people is farce
Mr. Durham announces his preference
for another ten years Of railroad oppres-
sion and extortion rather than the prac
tice of pledges by Judicial candidates
should become established in this country.
A lawyer having the ability Of Mr.. Dun
ham is in no particular danger of 'oppres-
sion and extortion and might, therefore,
be quite Indifferent to another ten years of
such rule-but the people who are Cypress
ed and extOrted from will, most likely.
take different view Of that matter. The
people who elect judges have a perfect
right to know the principles which will
govern those judges when they are elected.
We do not mean that it would be proper
for candidate for judge todeclare or to in.
innate how he would decide named case
that would be monstrous, and would, as
Mr.. Durham truly says, lead to anarchy. "
But there are certain great principles as TO
the construction of statutes as to the
powers legislatures can confer upon corpo-
rations etc, etc, upon which the ablest
Judges differ essentially. Now we claim
that the people who make judges have
perfect right to know the general principles
which will control their action, and it is es-
sential that they should know, before they
confer power upon men to act for them up
on these questions. And we doubt if even
the ingenuity of Mr. Durham can so confuse
the minds Of the people as to cause them
to foregO that right.

Malicious Mischief.

Between 4 and u clock last night, a
gentleman who lodges in Buford's Block
hearing crash of glass, jumped out of
bed and ran to the window just in time to
see and hear a second crash, and then see
three persons run around the corner by the
city scales. In the morning it was found
that light of glass in Turner'S store and
another in krells were broken in. As
nothing was missed and no one entered the
stores, it is probable that three fellows on
a lark did it for deviltry All store win
dows should have outside shutters.

A Man Jumps off a train Of Cars and is Killed

We learn from Mr. Spencer II. White
Of this city, who has just returned from
Iowa, that on the western bound train
from this city, on Thursday morning, there
was a man named Myers a cattle dealer,
going west, who had pass on.the South
western road to Princeton Mo. but when
the train arrived at Wilton Junction he,
probably being asleep did not change cars
to the Washington branch, as he should
have done. After the train had passed
Wilton he discovered his mistake, and the
conductor said he would let him off at the
next station and he could take the return
train. Instead of waiting for this, howev-
or, the man walked to the rear of the
train and jumped off, A gravel train
coming this way found him in an uncon-
scious condition on the side of the road,
and brought him to Wilton. He died in
q very short time. A telegram was sent
TO his friends in Missouri and Mr.. White
met man at Muscatine on his way to
claim the body of the unfortunate man.
