SUPREME COURT MUDDLE.

The muddle our inferior supreme
court of Missouri has got itself in,
shows very plainly the effect of put
ting men in Office incapable of hold
ing it. 1t neither requires a phlloso-
pher nor lawyer to solve the great
problem which the legal talent of Mis-
souri, met at Kansas City to pow.wow
over and show how little they knew or
cared about it. We presume the DEM
ocratic legislature of this state is now
laying some plan whereby some more
incompetent incumbent of that party
may be provided for for ten years,
Nth a good fat salary, A few of the
leading democrats of this community
have bees aoasting that the judiciary
should not be political, vet not one Of
them would vote for David Wagner, a
man of brains and lawyer. against
John W. Henry, one Of the present
gentle nen who has his washing done
in Jeffe rson City at the expense of the
state. Prior to the new constitution
of 1875 or to 1876, We had three judg'
es on the bench; David Wagner was
one. They did the business then witt,
far more dispatch and better satisfac.
ton t!.an the present bench of five
Why is its we would ask. The ole
bench was composed of lawyers-the
present is filled with politicians ano
sports who divide their time by laying
plans for the advancement of them
selves or some friend, and fishing
hunting and other games too numer
Gus to mention,
The supreme court of the United
States consists of only four more mem
bers than our own state, yet with
twenty times the business, having the
broad judicial field of the entire natlor
they have kept far better up to the
the work than our own supreme court
The reason IS they are law
yers, not politicians.
Many ways are proposed to get the
supreme court out ofits present trouble
An exchange proposes that the incom
petent retire. That would leave tht
bench vacant. Others propose tt
amend the constitution, adding fou
more judges, bnt it seems the more
Judges the more unfinished work ac
cumulates. Five are sufficient i
competent; if not competent thous
and would make it no better.
The only remedy to relieve us from
our judicial trouble is to elect compe
tent men to fill the bench. These
it seems, cannot be found in the demo
cratic party, at least they have neveI
brought them out.

CHICAGO, ,January19-A series of meet
ings held in this city have terminated in
an amicable settlement of the differ
ences between Washbu:n & Moon of
Worcester, Mass, the original patentees
Of the barbed wire fencing and western
manufacturers who have been lnfring-
ing on the patent. The settlement will
be especially interesting to farmers in
as much as the recent decisions of the
Circuit Court gave the original paten-
tees the right to hold the consumers for
damages. The present agreement is
that the lnfringers pay an indemnity
for all fencing heretofore made and sold
and a royalty of all manufactured in
.he future. Eighty thousand miles Of
barbed wire fencing were used during
the year 1880, against sixteen miles in
1875.
