AL over the country we hear tho complaint Of
hard times dull times, no profits in business, no
money to be made. at tho Balno time the rato
Of intoreat Ia uncommonly low, and tic amount
Of money seeking Investment unusually larse.
The dullnesa Affects the lenders equally with tho
borrowers. Money has been offered In chicago,
on what ia callod cash security, ut s per cont,
without takers. What docs 1t all mean ? How
does it happcn that money ia plenty aud yet ev-
erybody il complaining OF hard times?
LII order to answer this question nc must 70
back to tho period anterior 10 tho panic. We
Bhaii then find condition OF great apparent
prosperity, unwonted actiyity in every depart
ment Of industry, With corresponding extray-
ganco OF living, and a laviBh Investment of

roads. In tho midst Of this exuberanco and
abandon came the failure Of Jay Cooke L Co.,
followed swiftly by other suspenslonn, and cul-
minating in what is now known as the September
panic. The panic-that Is, the immediate terror

itaoif the effect Of certain Causes tho

duce their gnat, although tho element
Of frenzicd alarm no longer exists. Tho simple

ahoull DO carried immodfatoly to the Supreme
Court OF tho Untod statos, and that tho en-
forccmcnt Of tho law should, In tho intorin. DO
suspended. This Recommendation 1t considers
as proof that Judge Davis did not believe tho
decision made by Judge Drummond to bo good
law.
Wc arc Horry to notice TINT my suspicion has
been thrown on tho Court. Thero is no ground
whatovor for a1oh aspersions as thoao made by
tho Bulletin. In tho first place, Judges Of tho
unttoa statea Courts arc not subjoot To political
contingencies Ako tho State Judges. Federal
JndgcH aro appointed for lifo. Their salaries
cannot DO diminished after thoir nomination.
Thoy can bo romovod from tho Bench only by
death or impeachment. It matters littlo to them
what party Ia In power. Republican, Democratic,
Or Independent: whether tho Granger or any
othor influence ia for thom or against thcm.
This may bo said Of alt tho Judgos Of tho United
stases. since tho temptations to which they
arc subjected aro reduced to o minimum by
tho Constitution. But to impute any motive
other than tho highest to tho Judge who de1ly-
cred tho decision in that oaso ia propoatorous.
Judge Drummond Ia 60 we'll known to tho people
OF tho Woas that It all the papers IN the country
where he Is not known shonld unto with tho
Rttttetin to asporae him, 1t would bo impossible
to produce tho slightest impression hero. Tho
Bar Of Judge Drummonl'a circuit will testify
unanimously to hia judicial oarefulneaa, probt-
ty, impartialty, and learning. Ho is what evory
Judge should bo,-ono OF thoso who would do
Justice though tho hoavous shoald fall. Such is
tho witnosa borne by al who havo known him
alnoo ho began bis distinguished career on tho
Doslch.
NO did not, any moro than the Bulletin, antlct-
pato tho decision which was made In TINT ctae,
and We doubt Nhethor II is conducive 10 tho
prosperity Of Wisconsin. It may DO that tho
Supreme Court will not affirm Judge Drum
nlond's decision, though NO think It will; but,
whether 1t docs or not, no cloud will rest on tho
integrity Of tho Court that gavo 1t.
Judge Davis advice to tho litigantB WAS moro1y
friondly suggestion, and NO thnk wiao ono.
To Say that he did not concur In the dcoislon
when he aat on the aamo Rcuch aud heard it
read aud did not dissent, is as wild and vide Of
tho mark as tho suggestion that Judge Drun,-
mond was under the influence Of tito Grangers.

SENATOR THURMAN

Senator Thurman, in the Senate debate
yesterday on the bill providing for the pay
ment of the school teachers, took broad and
generous ground in relation to the District,
which all our citizens, without distinction
of party, will indorse, and which we are
certain the country will approve. Perhaps
we might as well say here as anywhere
else, that Mr.. Humans course during the
investigation into the affairs of the District
has been eminently fair and honorable.
The leader of the national Democracy, its
foremost candidate for the Presidency, he
has not allowed the least feeling of person
atty to interfere with his action upon the
committee. Throughout he has maintained
to the fullest degree the high reputation he
has so deservedly won as an eminent lawyer
and statesman of unblemished honor and
a high order of ability.
