Happily, there ar, two or three ohSta-
cIes that cannot well be >urmouuted by
either HAYES or EuUUNus IN carrying
out this programmes.
I'm the first place, Justice HrNr has
no, retired. nor is there any probability
that he will, until Congress has passed
an act necessary TO give him the PEN
sion allowed 20 Judges who have served
ten years and are over seventy years
old. In the second place, Congress has
not the least notion OF passing any Spe-
cial act retiring him until the appoint
mg power has gone from HAYES and
been vested iu Democratic President.

the appointments 90 this tribunal are
always carefully selected from the polt-

tour of the present Justices who are
over seventy years Of age, and another
who is s.x,y-ei.h,, AMI so feeble in

Congress would vote him the pension.
The prospect is, therefore, that the

Of course, confirm It's partisan character

A CowARDLY SUBMISSION

The policy OF saying nothing and DO
ing nothing, which has been recon-
mended, ii not adopted by certain clas-
ses of representatives in Congress as a
means of ingratiating themselves with
their political opponents, is cowardly
evasion of their duty, and does not com
port with the dignity OF the position
they are called to fill.
Ii by keeping their mouths shut they
will conceal the fact that they are not
fit for the high office they burlesque,
then it is fortunate that they have dis
erection and sense enough to pursue this
policy.
II, on the contrary, they represent
the opinions and feelings OF any locality
upon the issues OF the day, they not
only have a right, but high obligation
resting upon them, to make them known
in the councils OF the nations, and ought
to have the manhood to do it.
II they represent opinions that are OF
any value to the country, it is entitled
to them; and il, on the other hand, they
are the advocates of measures that
threaten the general peace and prosper
itv, the country is entitled to know
these also, and what proportion OF the
population are represented in such
views.
Free speech and an uniettered press
are regarded as the chief safeguards OF
republican government. No man, es-
pecially no representative in Congress,
has any occasion to act like whipped
spaniel in regard to the expression OF
opinions he may entertain and which he
is expected to advocate.
Men who recommend this cowardly
policy, or who are willing to become
parties to it, are a disgrace to Congress
and the party they represent.
No party can succeed in this country,
or deserves success, that is understood
TO he conducting sinister policy, or
favors policy that it is not willing to
avow.
No party can be successful that does
not represent s0nstbiHg, and is not will
ing to stand or fall by its platform OF
principles. 1t must represent an idea
or an issue that it can claim as its own
and which it can present to the doubt
ing clector as Il reason why he should
give it his support.
We have no sympathy for this policy
of reticence and concealment, nor have
we any respect for those who are so
puSillanimous rs to submit 10 il.
There are often measures OF such
character, rs, although just and
right in themselves, may gain
strength by waiting the modifying milu-
ence of time. IL may be best not to
discuss them much or often. Agita-
ton may only irritate and confirm their
opponents, and prudent parliamenta-
rian will, i'm such a predjcament, often
resort TO the policy OF silence until more
favorable conditions are open to him.
But Tor men to give way before their
opponents, not because they do not be-
lieye in the principles OF the party they
represent, but because OF the threats
and mcnaces of their opponents, are not

The trial OF the breach Of promise case Of
Paris w. jackson, In London, shows that
there is one man who is genuine misoga-
mist, and who prefers, like Mr.. Pickwick, to 60
to jail In preference to marrying. Mr.. Jack
son is man OF middle age and In good cir
cumstances. Fifteen years ago, when he was
young and presumably romantic, he was In
love and engaged, but after short experience
Of the pleasures Of courtship he tired Of these
and broke off the engagement. It was re-
newed, however, two years ago and again
broken off by him, whereupon Tilted Miss
Paris, his intended, brought suit for g5oOo
damages.
There was no defense; there could be no de-
Tense. The plaintiff was possessed Of q score Of
love letters from the defendant of the most
affectionate and expressive character, filled
with crosses to.represent kisses, with half q
dozen ''dears" and "dearests," and signed
s'your husband to be" etc. Her claim was q
good one, and when trial came on everybody
thought that Miss Mary Ann Paris would
reap q rich harvest Of damages from her
faithless lover. What then was the surprise
Of the defendant. Of the lawyers and Judge
when, the case being called, counsel for de-
PENDANT moved It's continuance because his
client was confined in neighboring insane
asylum, q hopeless, raving lunatie. Scores Of
persons testified to his madness: he was mad,
seriously, dangerously insane.
The Judge was not at all satisfied with this
testimony and explanation. Under his in
structions the jury returned averdict in ia
vor OF plaintiff.
An investigation has shown the good sense
Of the Judge. jackson, 1t turns out, was q
mfsogynist Of the deepest dye, and preferred
to be locked up In the insane asylum TO being
married. Anything In preference to thai" "
he said. Let the court declare me married
and keep me locked up for life, but I II never,
never marry" And now he asserts his inten-
ton to remain In Bedlam for the remainder Of
his days, to escape some other Mary Ann who
may wish to have him. Is not this an aggra-
waited form of mania
