tho forty ycar1 Of Democratic rule In Illinois.
He waa tho professional, political. and per-
sona1 friend and associate Of Mr.. LINCOLN to
the day Of his death, and by whom l,e WAS
appointed to tho Supreme Court Bonch.
Judge DAv1s was born In Maryland In 1916,
WAS educated at Kenyon College, Ohio, read
law in Massachusetts, and moved to Bloom
ington IN Illinois in 1885. He has rosidel In
Bloomington forty-two years. IIe served in
tho Legislature, md in tho Constitutional
Convention Of 1847, and from 1913 until his
appointment to tho Supreme Court waa Cir
cult Judge by repeated elections during six-
teen years. One.ha1f his years lavo boon
spent on the Bench.
Politically, Judge DAVIS WAS Wing until
tho formation Of tho Republican party, anl
was m anti-slavcry annn always. lie WINS n
delegate to tho Republican Convention Of
1860 which nominated Mr.. LINCOLN. Since
ho has been on tho Bench he Inns abstnined
from politics, hut hns never lost lis interest
in politics or disguised his sentiments.
In tho great struggle on the part
Of tho Government with the cor
rupt revenue officials and whisky thieves,
Judge DAVIS was an earnest defender Of Sec
retary Dnrsrow, and gavo his whole influence
to sustain tho Secretary against the mhchina-
tions and opposition Of his Whisky-Ring
enemies. There is much in tho character Of
tho two men, Ba1sTow and DAVIS, that is in
harmony, and We doubt whether on any
question OF policy or principle there is any
serious disagreement between thcm. Tho

Tho recent coronation Of Queen VERONA
as Empress of 1ndia has given tho English
papers several opportunities for discussion of
tho condition Of lndia, md for some serious
criticism also. In tho latter direction, tho
London Spectator docs not altogether look
upon the glittering pageant with satisfaction.
It wilt DO remembered that, before tho
mutiny in 1867 The policy Of tho Governors
Of India was decidedly democratic. They
pulled down the land aristocracy, sot up tho
farmers, and took tho sido Of the pro1c-
tariat. They forced down rents md titles,
aud gave land-titlea to tenants, to attach
them to tho Crown. Tho aristocracy, com.
posed Of great lanaholders and feudal chief
tains, woro deprived not only Of all power to
oppress tho masses, but wero even atripped
Of many Of their ancient privileges. Tho
democratio policy, however, did not
work. When tho civil war broto out,
tho masaca Of the people whom tho Govern-
mont had been protecting NJ agaluot tho
aristocraoy showed their ingratitudo by tak-
ing the most active part in tho revolt. Whom
this revolt was suppressed, the policy was
changed, md carried from tho cxtrculo OF
democracy to the other Of aristocracy. All
that tho Government has dono for tho M
tiyes since tho mutiny Is to give them new
roals, better market, reduction Of rates Of
interest, protecting them in their possession
Of land, and guaranteeing them Justice In
tho courts.s Tho Government, however, paid
no moro attention to tho people, but courted
tho landlords. AL actions against tho latter
oeased. Tho Princes were reassured in the
parpotuity Of succession and their hereditary
rights. Tho aristocracy were petted and
honorcd, and tho peasants oorrespondingly
neglected; and thug It wont on un-
| til at The recent coronation pageant
tho sceno was 80 filed with Indian Princes,
landlords, aristocrats, and soldiers, that not a
peasant could Witness tho ceremony. The
result ill., that cool and thinking mon in En-
gland, whose heals are not blinded will, the
glitter and glaro Of Royal pagcants, arc stop
ping to consider whether tho Government,
In reversing its policy. hna not gone to a
dangerous extreme. Tho London Spectator
belongs to this claEs, as will be seen by the
following extract:
Hitherto we frankly acknowledge that tho british
Government, far from. opp1essIng tho syot, hAl
been slightly TOO "soclaliatIc" in ltx tendencies,
| -has protected tha Hasaes too arEoGantly 1t The
exprnYe Of tho indlyldualsms; hu: tho great pen
dutu1n has swung In tho other direction, and uul
dread is that II NIL swing too far II tho cetemo'
ufal - enacted at Debit II synlboieal Of tho new
| tone, It has awung too far already. We wou1d
ralher sco ono act making Justice uoEe accessible
Than all that gs!stcstas parade, rather hear tht
