THH SUPREME COURT.

In another portion of THE REPUBLICAN
most interesting and elaborate reference
to the Supreme Court ofthe United States
american Law Rsvieso, and discusses the
question of facilitating the business of the
Court. The subject is not new one, and
it is more than likely that Congress will
soon address itself to a consideration of
means for this exaltation of the power of
sought cannot be obtained in any other
way. The simple fact is this. Too much
labor is imposed upon the Court and for
the sake of illustration we refer to what is
familiar 10 every lawyer, but may not be
so well understood by the people generally.
Our lowest national courts are the district
courts. In every State there is one, and in
some of the larger two. For each court
there is district judge. The circuits in
clude much larger territories than the dis
tricts. There are only nine of them, and
for each there is circuit judge who, with
Justice of the Supreme Court, holds his
court twice a year; and the judge of the
district in which the Circuit court is held
may sit with the circuit judge. This court
tries the highest crimes against the laws of
the United States and certain class of
cases of appeal from district courts. 1t is
generally understood that the most import
ant business and duty of the Supreme Court
is the securing and establishment of a cor
rect and uniform construction and interpre-
tation of the Constitution of the United
States.
What we mean by an exaltation OF the
power of the Supreme Court is its relief
from Circuit Court duty. The number of
circuits can be increased, and additional
judges can be appointed. This would give
the nine judges constituting the court Of
last resort an opportunity to hold two or
three sessions annually in Washington, oc-
cupying in all some nine months of the
year. This would give them more rest
than they now enjoy, and much more time
for the study of cases and the preparation
of opinions. AS it is, the Justices of the
Supreme Court are overworked, and the
proof is afforded by the fact that only three
hundred and ten cases were disposed of for
the term ending last April, leaving six hun
dred and twenty unconsidered. At this
rate, with the new additions constantly be-
ing made, the present court will all be in
their graves before the docket is cleared
1t would be more dignifed to keep the
court together, and they would enjoy the
advantage of permanent homes at the Cap
ital-a most important desideratum. A
Justice of the Supreme CourtSis human
being, and, like all lawyers, he requires
time, ease and permanency for study. He
has to work quite as hard as the great law
yers who appear before him. Again we
direct attention to the elaborate points
made in the article printed from the "Re-
view," and invite from the bar expressions
of opinions thereon.

WHEN SECRETARY BRIsTow began his
raid upon the whisky ring President Grant
at once evinced decided interest even in
the smallest details of the programmes
decided, in fact, that he gave personal su-
pervision to the telegraphic orders dis
patched for the purpose of securing the ar
rest of suspected parties and the removal
of incompetent or inculpated officers.
From that time until the present his
anxiety that the proceedings in the several
cases that have resulted in the finding of
indictments shall be pushed with vigor has
been unabated. These are facts, how
ever, studiously overlooked by a large
proportion of the public press, which
seems TO be possessed with desire not to
give him credit for doing anything ap-
preaching his duty under any circum-
stance. Unlike many other public men,
he avoids indiscriminate intercourse with
the representatives of the press-a fact
which readily explains great many omis-
sions to give him credit when credit is due;
but there is no good reason why, in the
case under consideration, it should be so
generally withheld.

EVEN the Democratic press of Virginia
begins TO admit that the North Carolina
convention movement is intended as CO.
vert design to overthrow the Supreme Court
Of that State. The Norfolk Landmark,
accepting the success of the movement as a
foregone conclusion. says: ''The Old North
Estate will soon be able to boast judi
"ciary worthy of the ancient fame of her
"bench and bar" This is simply bosh.
The present Supreme Court of North Caro-
lima will compare favorably with any of its
predecessors, and has particularly strong
hold upon the affections of the people,
which is founded upon Judge Reeds saga
cious and upright decision regarding the
homestead law. The people, white and
black, Republican and Democratic, will
hesitate long time before they make it
possible that the discontented and turbulent
piotters of the Democracy may overthrow
this most impregnable bulwark of their
rights

ONE GREAT DIFFICULTY encountered In
the trial of ex-Treasurer Parker, of South
Carolina, for malfeasance in office is the
silence regarding his TRANSACTIONS, pre-
served by certain clique of Democratic
brokers in Charleston. 1t seems that
when Parker, as it is alleged, cut cou-
pons from the State bonds and had them
funded in the new issue, his dealings
were with the Conservative money sharks
in that city. In fact when the truth re-
garding his transactionsis fully known, it is
believed both parties will suffer alike. This
is always the caee-particularly in the South
since the war. When wrong is done
sharpers of every political faith participate
in the plunder. Senator Merrimon, of
North Carolina, for example, was the paid
attorney and lobby agent in certain railroad
interests of that State, and was the author
of bill for the passage of which he sIbse-
quently denounced the carpet-baggers and
Republican members of the Legislature.

IT SHOULD be distinctly understood that
no political assessments" have been made
upon the civil service employees Of the
Government in violation of any estab-
lished rule. The attempt to convey the
idea that Postmaster General Jewell has
issued any extraordinary order regarding
this matter is evidently Democratic dodge
TO discourage Republican oficeholders from
making contributions. He has never done
anything of the kind, and is too earnestly
devoted to the success of the party whose
principles form his political creed and
whose honors he has enjoyed, to entertain
such an idea for q moment. 1t should be
understood that every effort to prevent vol
untary subscriptions in response to the
timely suggestions of the Congressional
Committee, of which Judge Edmunds is
secretary, is simply blow struck in behalf
of the Democracy

Missiusippi Hadness,

During jefferson Davis late triumphal DO
litical and agricultural tour through Texas he
remarked: SIN Mississippi the negro majority
is so large that despair of ever seeing that
State redeemed" Looking upon Democracy
as his redeemer, Mr.. Davis knew 1t could not
live in Mississippi by fair voting. As for him,
he is willing to accept homestead in Texas,
and let the inevitable alone. The color-line
politicians of Mississippi believe they can re-
duce the Republican majority by killing off
Republicans. It is cruel sort of logic for q
civilized age, but It is the most common way
of Strengthening the Democratic party in the
South. Hence we see Democrats in Vicksburg
repairing to a Fourth of July meeting and
shooting men of the audience. The Republi-
can majority was actually reduced that day
three votes in the killed, and several hundred,
prospectively, in the inundated. That is the
Way the thing works.

THE SUGGESTION that General Sherman

THE SUGGESTION that General Sherman
may become the Republican candidate for
President attracts considerable attention /;
but is generally accepted as the sheerest
nonsense. His Memoirs have raised up so
many personal and at the same time vim
dictive enemies against him that his chances
ofpreferment by either party are decidedly
vague. In truth there is a widespread
feeling in the country that he is more of a
man of impulse than conviction, and it is
known that his impulses are not always
consistent. His surrender to Joe John
ston, at Greensboro, for example, was a
generous impulse, the complete execu-
lion of which would have ruined the coun-
try by the virtual restoration of slavery.

JEFF Davis and the Centennial.

We do not believe the time has fully arrived
% for the head and front of one of the most
gigantic rebellions of modern times to be quite
so conspicuous as his Mississippi admirers
would have him at celebration where the
people are to convene to rejoice over the pros
perity-for a hundred years-of the very gov
ernment that he attempted to destroyl If this
persistent attempt on the part of the leaders
Of Southern sentiment to put the most obnox-
ious, rabid and ultra persons of that section
into the foreground on every possible occasion
were to cease, there is little doubt but that the
work of peace and reconciliation would be
very mnch lightened lin every particular, and
sincerely do we hope that our Southern breth-
rem will stopit

PHILADELPHIA, besides being noted as
the place of publication Of Aleck McClure's
Times, enjoys the reputation of possessing
one wife murderer, named Brown, since
whose apprehension three initiative hus-
bands have made deadly assaults upon their
wives. When Brown is hung, and the
local obituary poet finishes him off in
customary style, the green-grocers of that
overgrown village will be informed that he

The Ohio Campaign.

The prospects of a sweeping Republican
victory this fall are growing brighter every
day. They are brighter now than they were
at the first of the month, and were brighter
then than on the LIST of June. This remark
is not made in the way of campaign boasting,
but as the deliberate conclusion formed from
a large number of letters, conversations with
men in different parts of the State, and a care
full examination of the country weekly
papers. The Republicans are everywhere
hopeful. The Democrats are despondent.

Jewish Progress.

One evidence OF the progress making In the
Jewish customs is to be seen In the case Of Bnai
Jeshurun synagogue in this city. This religious
society was incorporated In 1926, and its mode Of
worship has been in accordance with rites of the
Polish and German Jews. The separation Of the
sexes during divine worship has heretofore been
observed, the males occupying the ground floor
and the females occupying the gallery. The
Polish Jews are the most conservative Of all, liv-
ing in marked contrast to the Portuguese and
English Jews. Last May the society voted to In

[From the MILWAUKEE, Sentinel
The men who invited General Preston to
speak could not have been ignorant of his
sentiments, and if they were not in sympathy
with them, they should have chosen another
orator. Then we have the testimony of a

sion that his remarks evoked wild enthusiasm
on the part of his audience, and the conclu-
sion is Inevitable that General Preston is only
