The Cass county judges have been
released from Jail for three weeks, in
order that they may try to have prop.
osition of compromise passed by the
people. That is all right; but We would
like TO ask Judge Krskel why he au-
thorizes (as he does by this act) the
offering of compromises, ,and then grants
processes to such relentless attorneys
as Mr.. Skinker for the recovery of the
last dollar of the original and full
amount of debt when two thirds Of it is
compromised? We pause ior reply
1t the dignity Of the court will not per-
nIt 1t to answer. we might even listen
to Mr.. Skinker, who seems to be lett
almost alone in his assaults upon Lafsy-
cite county.

The article from the Cincinnati Com
mercial which We print on the outside
shows how Mr.. Dorsey carried Indiana
and New York in 1880, Coming as it
does from u republican paper it will
attract attention. Mr.. Dorsey ssYs he
spent $4OO, 900 in Indiana. aud about
four times as much in New York. The
question is, where did this immense
sum come from, and how could it be
honestly expended 2 ,s- .e.--.
Z Dr.. Bliss, one of the Garfield physi
clans, who rendered bill Tor $25, 900
accepted the $1,000 allowed by tn.
government. OF course; and he would
have accepted $1,000. and been over
paid. Why should greater bill b.
made against the president than ag gainst

case the government is to pay, and tor
no other reason; and that /. not good

tbs NICARAGUA CANAL.

Mr.. K4sson. in an interview publish
ed in the New York World, says thai
AIR. Blains's recent criticisms of the till
to incorporate the Nicaragusn Canal
showed entire ignorance OF the matter.
No appropriation, he says, is asked for,
and American control Of the projected
cansi is provided for. Some one else
has we'll said that Mr.. Bisine's stupid
South American policy when he was
secretary Of state had caused Us more
trouble with foreign nations than the
canal, properly guarded, would ever do.
All that Is true. aud We are In favor Of
the Nicaragua canal, as the cheapest, best
aud most expeditions way of piercing
the Isthmus; but Why need the govern
meut guarantee the interest On the
bondsa 1t the investment promises to
to be good one plenty Of money can
bs found; if it does not the government
should not become responsible for its
losses, which it would do BY gusran-
tselng annual interest. Let the gov
erment sanction and promise to protect
the work, aud it can bs oonsummated.
Not only that, but it eau be protected.
We may never hope to have au effect

retaries to squandsr millions of dollars

We believe in the Monroe doctrine.
The government of the United States
under republican management seems to
have lost its oId.time virility, and IS
permitting Frsuohmau, do Lssseps,
to cross the Isthmus first, and to French.
ify it. 10 this We are opposed. We
do not approve Of permitting the
importation OF European intrigues aud
diplomacy into American stfsirs. A.
the dominant power In America 1t is
the duty of the United States to prevent
this. Let kiugly qusrrels and mon.
arch,cal machinstions be kept off OF our
continent.
Old Horace Greeley used to say that
the way 10 resume was to resume; and
the way to do this thing IS to do 1t. II
presents itself to ps in one phase let us
meet 1t in that phase. As the Panama

THE NEW YORK WORLD AND NIB.
MORRISON.

Tho New York World seems to be
making factions fight upon Mr.. Nor
rison, OF Illinois .ostensibly because that
gentleman does not believe In abolish
lug the Internal revenue taxes. In one
article 1t speaks of him As man OF
ability, who has already been and who
NAV again be at the head OF the com
mittee on ways and means. This may
be the rub.
The World Is an able newspaper. it ia
ad mlrably conducted, and is read with
much pleasure by an army OF people, but
its usefulness ~ an exponent OF demo-
cratic prin ,ipies, or rather as a leader OF
democratic opinion. 10 much msrred by
tho generally received idea that it is

or IN part, and that 1t Is couduc:ed in

point OF enterprise and culture, but with
all Its advantages 1t may occur to some
people that 1t is not "biger than old
Bill Morris"n."
p Mr.. Morrison 10 . gentleman of ma
tlonal reputation a gentleman who has
served his country so faithfully and we'll,
as soldier, citizen and a statesman,
that he Is known everywhere, not only
tor his clear, practical common sense,
but Tor his incorruptible integrity. He
has Won bis way BY being honest. There
Is nothing of the demagogue about
him, and he is not afraid OF any body, NOT
even OF Mr.. Gould. II the latter gen.
tleman 10 10th to have such . man at

mittee OF the house, 90 much the worse
for bis plans-the people are not, and
the very best way In the world to in
sure him the place is to have 1t appear
that Mr.. Gould 10 trying to prevent his
appointment to it.
We may be ovsrsstimating the impor-
tancs of the attack upon Mr. Morrison.
but it 10 only natural that the assault
should be viewed with suspicion. The
World is exceedingly unfortunate in II.
connection with Mr.. Gould, and II
could do itself no greater service thau
by unloading him at once. A. much al

particular penetration TO see Why the
Werld desires to reduce the revenue ~
radically as it does. So that its attacks
upon Mr.. Morrison are easily accounted
for from two points of view.
Mr.. Hurlbut can take the word of q
distant observer for two things. 1. The
democrats o. this country. while they
do not propose any sort Of wild ca
financial schemes. do uot intend to lei

it was in siding with law aud order. and
facing three armed desperadoss with Q
