A CANDIDATE WITHOUT LEGs.-The
Radicals OF the State of Indiana, have
nominated Senator Morton of that
State, for President. He has no use
of his logs, although he has probably
turned more band-springs than any
other man in the party. The Harris
burg Patriot in alluding to bis pros
poets says.
"for q presidential candidate tho ro-
publican party could not have moro
consistent representative of its finan.
eisl views. Ho has been on all sides
Of the currency question and 80 has his
party. Under the lead of Morton the
Republican party in Congress passed
in 1874, the bill 10 initiate the volume
Of irredcemable paper currency 10 tho
extent ofslO0, 100000. Tho noxt year
abe party in Congress reversed that
policy and passed the act contracting
the currency act providing for rcsump-
zion Of specie payments in 1879. Then
Morton, the author Of the bill to in.
flate the currency, appeared on the
stump in Maine and Ohio, as the advo.
cate of forced resumption. Now the
Republicans Of Indiana declare for tho
unconditional repeal OF the resump.
ton act. On that platform they place
Morton as candidate tor the next
President. II will go hard II Morton
cannot make rs many summersaults on

PACIFIC COAST.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 12.-In the Nine
teenth District Court this morning was
decided an important case. the effect OF
which is likely to open the doors OF the
Industrial School for the freedom OF all
boys therein who have not been con-
victed of misdemeanor. The decision
was on writ Of habeas corpus issued
from the Supreme Court for the release
Of Henry o'Conner from the Industrial
School. The father Of the boy asks for
the discharge Of his son on the ground
that the law Of 1868 establishing the
school is unconstitutional, because it
deprives people Of the right Of trial by
jury. Judge Wheeler held that impris.
onment for any offense which is not a
misdemeanor under the law is unconsti-
tutional, and SO ordered the discharge Of
the prisoner.

remarks:
We desire to say a grave and hearty

great wealth, or any other purely ad-
ventitious reason whatever. It is be-
cause in that inconceivably dreadful and
never to DO forgotten hour when the
great bank went down. and the shocked
heart OF q vast business community
stopped beating in the awful anticipa.
ton Of impending ruin, il was the sim

lifted to stem the sweeping tide Of finan-
cial disaster. 1t was the quiet but reso-
Lutte figure OF this one man thatl rose
amid the white faces Of that memorable
meeting Of our city's magnates, and,
with half his fortune in his hand, led
the way into the widening breach. II
was he assumed the control OF the six
million hotel with quiet stroke OF the
pen; II was his strong hand that finally
held the head OF the grand old bank

Dunderpsted Lsine. who it isto be hoped
for bis own sake and others. will soon

By attempting to reduce the salaries
OF the judges Of the Supreme
Court. When ve read the descrip-
ton OF the antics Of this legislative
muggins. one is tempted to say with
Mr.. FL aunt, 81 hate fool" Nov. il
We hated any one. which We doubt. and
especially the class Of unfortunates.
which was the pet aversion Of the good
lady from whom We have just quoted;
how strongly. firmly and continuously
should We detest this man Lame. He is.
however. SO sublimely foolish that one
cannot help examining the creature as
We would any other lusus nature.
The whole mass Of the inhabitants
OF any State are interested in main
tanning the judiciary. pure, independ-
ent and above the petty temptations
that frequently tempt men struggling
with fortune to their ruin. This
conclusion Ia an axiom of which the
mere statement carries conviction. Yet
while its truth Is 30 patent. that its &C.
ceptance Is general throughout the
civilized world. this donkey Laine sets
himself to work and proposes to reduce
the moderate laries Of the judges OF
the Supreme court. The court Of last
resort OF an important State like Cali
fornia needs to be presided over by law
yers Of acknowledged ability and un-
stained integrity and Laine proposes to
insure supply of judges Of that class
by reducing their salary from sc. 900 to
$1,000. This is wise proposition truly,
seeing that probably there is not lawyer
in California Of the standing which
would ensure proper discharge Of the
duties OF the position, who ia not making
more than that amount. The induce
ments that Laine holds out to able and
honest lawyers are poor pay and hard
