THE NEW CHIEF JUSTICE.

One would have thought the President
had gotten into a stony path in the Chief
Justiceship, but his luck seem to have
served him, and he has at last carried his
point, which seems to have been the COM
memoration of:the Joint High commission,
by securing one of its members, Hon. Nor
rison r. Waite, Of Ohio, as Chief Justice
of the United States. He sent in the NOM
nation on Monday and, it was, confirmed
without opposition. His character is said
to be unimpeachable. His confirmation
is extremely welcome to the country,
which is pretty well tired Of having to
be in perpetual apprehension about the
Supreme Court being made a mere politi-
cal machine. With Waite in, who, though
Republican of the strictest sect, is not
Radical politician, the court will be far
more literally organized. Judge Clifford is
a Democrat and Judges Field and Davis
are after the Chase style of judge, so with
the addition of Waite we shall have more
looking to the law and less to party inter-
est-something always to be hoped for
whether under Republican OF Democratic
administration.

Yes. all New England. the hotbed of

much wheat as two-thirds Of what Min
nesota alone produces for export in one
year of favorable crop. But what is

into the distended stomach of New

And this stuff represents the average

What is communism 2" 1t means
a community of goods; destruction of
the rewards Of labor; and the aboli-
ton of civilized society. To state the
proposition is to denounced it.
The gospel we have preached in these
pages, simply means fair play.
Article 10, section 4, Of the State
constitution, says:
''All corporations, being common car
riers, enjoying the right of way in pur-
suance Of the provisions of this section,
shall BE- bound to carry the mineral
agricultural and other productions or
manufactures, on equal and reason
able terms.
Is this communism No one pre-
tends that it is. Is it then communism
to enforce it Is II communism to de-
clare what those equal and reasonable
terms shall be, and to require com
mon-carriers to carry on those terms
and none other? Surely not.
What else have we preached That
it is the farmers who poll the majority
Of the votes and pay the greater part OF
the taxes: and that for their own good
and the safety Of the nation. they
/ should be educated, intelligent,
thoughtful men : knowing their rights
and ready to maintain them. Is this
communism If so, then education Is
communism.
The primary strata. the lgneour
rocks Of our national structure,- bear.

flames Of the countless revolutions out
of which they were created,- the
equal rights Of all citizens. one with
another. and one section with another
through all the broad land. We have
protested against system Of revenue
which. under the Guise Of taxation. ha.
taken the property of one citizen anC
transferred it to the pocket of another

not.

pages
This is very modestly put, but
Messrs. Ramsey and Davis will be good
enough to take notice that it means
business. Especially Davis. The alb
rogation of the caucus would cause
every Granger in the Legislature to
ceave to Donnelly with hooks of steel.
They would probably never vote for a
Democrat-certainly never for a Re-
publican. Donnely would thus have
clear balance of power. aud would be
enabled to maintain deadlock. or
dictate his own election. Hence Don
nelly is likely to be the competitor
whom Ramsey must encounter in the
event of the abrogation of the caucus.
This is probably the way Donnelly
figures it. The result will show
whether his figures be reliable.
