HON. J. ALLEN EARErZ FOR JUDGE.

Mr. Mills term as Judge of this,
the 9Th Judicial District, expires on
the 5lst day of December, 1876, and
his successor Is to be chosen at our
next Spring election. This selec-
ton will then have to be made by
the lst of March next, SO that it
may be well considered and intelli-
gently acted upon by the voters of
the District, on the ist Tuesday of
April following.
The Office is q very responsible
one, requiring for perfect service
not only abundant professional
qualifications not easily found in
the profession, but other Qualiti-
cations of an ingrained, personal
character, still harder to be found,
as well these latter are best ex-
pressed by the two Latin phrases

is Of the very highest Importance
that the best possible selection be
made.
Mr.. Mills will have served two
terms--l2 years-and it is not likely
that he viii be again selected either
10y the spontaneous expression of
the Bar of the District, as the choice
of the Republican party in Conven-
ton, or by the mass of the people
irrespective OF party. Indeed, it is
matter of some doubt. whether
he would consent to take another
term, il such were the will of the
District. Such we are assured,
would come far short of being the
unanimous wish of the Bar /: and.
we believe, that in filling q Judge
ship, no choice should be made in
opposition to the feelings of the
members of the Bar residing in the
Circuit. 1t might b safe to go
even farther and say-that such
selection should rs a rule. be left TO

Prosperity Under Republican Rule.

But fifteen years ago 1t seemed
that the strongest attempt at self
government was doomed to failure,
and that the nation which had man
tanned itself by the union Of states
with pride for nearly century was
about to perish. The party to
whose trust its preservation had
fallen, gave up in despair. The
weak looked silently on, while the
powerful worked strongly for its
dissolution. 1t was o dark hour
for it seemed that the ruling party
had turned upon the nation that had
given it birth, and was determined
to destroy it. 1t was in this hour
Of peril that party which had
sprung up but four years before,
came forward and took up the cause
that its powerful predecessor had
cast aside. The toll of a century
rested upon its trust and to pre-
serve it, 1t struggled for four years
against the South in arms aud
against large number in the North,
who opposed it at home; yet it
turned neither to the right or to the
left till the rebellion was crushed.
From this it emerged heavily in
debt and with the country stlll one
wide theatre Of disorder. But so
great has been the loyalty and ey-
ertion since that time that the pros
perity of the country has been
wonderful. The products of manu-
uCactures throughout the entire
Union in 1870 amounted to i,20S,-
S2l,91l against 1876, S93,371 in
1860 The true wealth of the Unit
tt NtdttS III Low was fdiu't az
sS0,O6S, IL, 501 against SO, l59,6i6,-
C6S in 1860, an increase that goes
beyond anything within the annals
Of our country's history. This in
crease OF wealth and material prod
ucts, rs well a. the preservation Of
the Union is due to the loyalty and
energy of the Republican party.
Several times have the people shown
their trust by re-eecting it to power,
and the time is again approaching
when the people will have to decide
whether they will trust the one to
which they owe their prosperity, or
the one that has already proven
failure.
The elections this fall will have
their influence on that of 70, which
will be the turning point in Ameri-
can politics. Our State election
VIII have its effect, and it behoofes
every voter to begin now to review
the history Of the Republican party,
and attempt to restore it to power
in this state. which will also help
to maintain the supremacy of the
psrty 70 which the nation owes its
preservation and progress.

and Conventions especially so, if
one fully understands the workings
of the secret machinery of these
bodies during a season of hot party
warfare, OF during an oft-recurring
struggles in politics for personal
supremacy. At any rate. whatever
course is taken to determine in
primary way, the election Of Mr..
Mills successor, we hope that it
will be taken outside of politics,
and rest upon merit alone.
There is now time enough for US
to choose deliberately, and to act
wisely in the premises; and we write
these lines now, at this early day,
to draw public attention and to in
vite inquiry, SO that when the time
for final action shall come, the nam.
ing of the candidate and the pre-
paration Of the ballots shall not be
left to nero chance, or what is inf
nitely more to the direction of
trading ring, but there shall be put
forth united sentiment, both of
the bar and of the people.
Judge Mills is an honest, able
man, one of the best lawyers in the
State, and of no mean pretensions
In the general field of politics. He
would make decided mark in Con-
gress. Should he not be again
chosen to the Judgeship, his pro-
fessional abilities and his wide po-
litical influence would be in great
requisition we think, to the increas-
ed advantage Of the District and
the State.
Without the knowledge of Mr..
Barber, we have placed his name at
the head Of this article. On care
fully looking over the field, we have
not been able to select candidate
to succeed Judge Mills, who, in our
judgment, would fill the place so
well as J. Allen Barber. Age, legal
attainment, experience both at the
Bar and in high political station, an
exacting sense of justice and long
record of rare personal worth, all
unite to qualify him for seat on
the Bench. And, what is of no
small Importance to the public, we
are persuaded as result of twenty
years personal knowledge, that in
the administration Of his Court were
he upon the Bench, everything
would be conducted in the interest
of justice, in pains-taking yet
prompt and dignifed manner and
that the legal bubbles and expen-
sive delays, SO common in average
Courts--the practice of weak and
INSCRIPTIONS attorneys-would re-
ceive from him any proper mark of

Irish Home Rule.

The resolution Of the Irish members elected
British House of Parliament, in case their
demand for repeal of the union should be
denied, will be o surprise even to those who
have watched closely the progress of the
movement. 1t is open TO question whether the
resolution, all things being taken into account,
is o wise one at this juncture. Although the
home rulers have undoubtedly the vast ma
jority of the Irish people in sympathy with
them they have not as yet secured that
thorough control of the Parliamentary
representation likely to render the retire
ment of the Irish members from Parliament
effective as national protest No doubt it
is in great measure brought about by the
belligerent and insulting attitude adopted by
the government and their supporters in
Parliament toward the homo rule mem
bers- Whatever the provocation offered by
the British members we are inclined to think
that less decided action would have been
wiser under existing conditions. There seems
now q prospect that an agitation directly
aimed against the government will be entered
upon by the home rulers, and the result must
certainly be to render the government of
Ireland very difficult The new movement
will receive the earnest support Of the ad-
vanced or physical force party which
has hitherto helped the home rulers
without any very warm enthusiasm
When the representatives present themselves
for election, pledged not to take their Seats
the national feeling, which has grown so in
tense within the last ten years in spite OF the
blunders and failures Of the chiefs Of the
party, will carry most Of the elections like o
tidal wave. The strange spectacle will then
be presented of people supposed to be gov
erned by constitutional means refusing
to associate themselves with or &C
knowledge their rulers. II is difficult to
see where this state of things may lead.
England cannot well afford to undo the union
which has cost her SO much blood and
treasure. Ireland seems equally resolved to
achieve neutrality-suspicious.. Either Eng
land will be forced to consent to some modif-
cation OF the present system, which brings
beggary and disgrace to Ireland. or she will
have to abandon the pretence of governing by
constitutional means and begin new con-
quest Of Ireland by unsheathing the sword as
an answer to an agitation she cannot ropress
by legal measures.

No politician In France cares to make in
situations that may be abstractly regarded as
advantageous to the country; but each is
eager to make institutions that will perpetuate
the rule of his own party and lead to the
prevalence of his own opinions. In this also
each acts honestly and sincerely, as he be-
ieves, for the public welfare; for every one
persuades himself that the only safety is in
the triumph Of the principles and creed he
count than the theories and convictions of
the men who are to govern through the in
stitutions. ''That which is best administered
is best;". the words ''best administered"
meaning always administered by our party.
Thus even the republicans will consent to the
existence Of Senate if the Senators may be
chosen from the nation at large by universal
suffrage; for this would be practically the
realization of one of their favorite schemes.
It would be dissolution in another shape.
For this Senate would take the place of the
Assembly, and, being the issue of the same
electoral body would be its substitute as the
depository of the national sovereignty till
such time as a new Assembly should be
chosen. On the other hand the imperialists
would be charmed with Senate as the ex-
preston Of the plebiscitam, If the qualifca-
tons for the Senatorial position could
be SO defined and restricted that only
the old imperial functionaries and soldiers
and professors would be eligible. But the
royalists, who have szetched the scheme of
constitution with Senate in it, and who have
imagined this body as a sort of high
conservative authority, and a place in
which to put all those old monarchists
of the present Assembly who were elected
in the exceptional circumstances of
1871, but could never again be returned by
popular vote; the men who want this sort of
Senate can only contemplate with horror the
Senate as it would be acceptable to their OPP
ponents. From these divergent views he's
resulted legitimately the fate of the project
Bonapartists and republicans were agreed on
the scheme of making the body the product of
universal suffrage. This at once disguised
the Right and secured its opposition to the
bill. Then the Left secured, with the alli-
ance of some members of the Right-now
eager to kill the bill-clauses defining the
categories of persons eligible to the Senator
ship, and this guaranteed the hostility of the
Bonapartists, and on the vote for the adoption
or rejection of the bill as amended the Bona
partists and the Right together defeated the
measure. As the constitutional scheme re-
ported by the Committee of Thirty included a
Senate as necessary part, it would appear
that the whole of the bill must go down in
common ruin with the one on the Senate, and
thus the reorganization of the Septennate'
seems indefinitely postponed, and the alterna-
tives of dissolution and coup d ktat loom more
orninouSlY than ever

the ballot boxes are. The Examiner and
Chronicle, taking the cue from the centennial
efforts OF the Baptists in favor of general de-
nominational education, shows the advan-
tages of it. The benefits of an educated min
istry are admitted, but now they must edu-
cate all their people if they would make them,
not only good citizens, but good Baptists also.
The Observer looks upon Dr. DeKoven's cleo
ton to the episcopate of Illinois as challenge
from that diocese to the Protestant Episcopal
Church for the defeat of their first choice,
DR.. Seymour. It aocords to DR.. DeKoven all
that las been claimed for him in learning and
ability. and says that he ftly represents the
anti-Protestant sentiment in the Church.

The season of Lent seems TO have little or
no influence whatever over the topics enter

metropolis. We feel that we should lead the
other cities of the Union In practical improve
ments and set them a useful example. We
cannot hope to do this while we depend upon
the cars of Third avenue and the omnibuses
of Broadway for our means of travel.
These methods of transit are, in fact. the
impediments of travel. We do not believe
that the people of New York, in voting
for the constitutional amendments last
fall, had any intention of preventing the
consummation of rapid transit, nor that any
authoritative and ultimate Judicial decision
will interfere with the passage of an efficient
bill by the Legislature to redeem the city
from its present misfortunea We must have
rapid transit and as there is no law to forbid
it we should have one to enforce it.

The Danger of Fire.

A great city constitutes great danger. II
creates luxury. indifference and crime. Pow
erty is one of its products. and the vices and
the virtues are almost equal results. These
consequences Of good and evil are daily ex-
hibited in our columns: for if on the one
hand we present the story of crime on the
other we tell the beautiful tale of benevolence
and mercy. But among the greatest of the
dangers of the metropolis is that of fire-the
sun-created element, which is the indispensa-
BILE servant Of mankind, and as a master its
worst foe. Fire has recently been the
greatest danger of New York. In other cities
it has devastated property and life-as for
example, in Hartford-and we owe it more
to good fortune than to our good manage
ment that we have thus far escaped a terrible
confagration. Chicago should have taught
New York lesson.
The intense cold which we have recently
experienced in this latitude has called the
attention Of the community to the danger
which fire is to this crowded city. At any
time, even in midsummer, our water supply
is not equal to the demand, and in periods
when the pipes ore frozen, and water, instead
of being luxury, becomes really one Of
the necessities of life, we feel the extent of the
evil If fire should break out in New York
to night no one knows where it would end. 1t
might be suppressed. or it might defy all the
efforts of our excellent department The
great danger comes from the severity of the
weather, which has bound in chains of ice the
great majority Of the water conduits of the
city. Our water mains are clogged, our n.y.
dants closed, even our wash basins are ice
bound, and when fire begins we are desti-
tute of the means to fight it Of the present
condition of the water resources of the city
we elsewhere present full report, and the
careful reader will appreciate their
deficiency. We do not properly guard
against the danger of frost In St.
Petersburg, and in the cities of Northern Ger
many precautions are taken which, though
unworthy of the ingenuity of American
society, are decidedly effective. We should not
only emulate, but surpass these methods of
preserving in the winter an efficient water
supply, and we think our reports to-day,
the matter, will draw the attention of the pub
lie to this important subject The question
is one in which householders are particu-
larry interested, and it is our object
to set the facts in the clearest light before the
intelligent citizens of New York. All are
equally concerned in the subject, for the
carelessness of one man may be the ruin of
hundred others. Our hydrants and water
pipes should be looked after with as much
vigilance as if we knew that the experience Of
Chicago would be repeated in New York, and
the hints given in our report--based upon
thorough investigation-should deserve the
serious consideration of all responsible citi-
zens Of this great city.

THE BEEcBEn TRIAL, as it will be in 1900, is
reported with great faithfulness in our col
umns to-day. We do not see that the pro-
ceedings differ materially from those of last

that this case will be bequeathed from this
generation to the next There is an
air Of verisimilitude about this report which
makes it appear like ancient news. instead Of
an anticipation of the events of the future.

live for long while; for IL will surely
