NOt Needed.

There has been talk in some
quarters about the necessity Of
creating a tribunal to take the
settlement of contested cases out
of the hands of Congress. Certain
non-partisan journals have advo-
Gated such a plan, and there is
much solid truth in the reasons
assigned for it. "Congressmen
simply vote the party ticket in de-
Gliding a contest without regard to
right or wrong. This is done in
so cynical manner that it seems
as if members of Congress had
lost all feeling Of the moral OBJ
liquity of it, and as if the strong
est appeals to the higher motives
of action were and would remain
unavailing. 1t is very evident
that under such circumstances
Congress is not the proper author
ity to decide contested election
cases, and that in order to secure
Justice and to arrest the Infection
of such demoralizIng practices, ii
will be necessary to look 10 some
judicial tribunal outside to whic h
such cases can be submitted with
the assurance that evidence will
receive its due weight, and that
the man justly entitled to the
seat will have it, no matter whether
his party is in a majority in Con
gress Or not" This is all very well
but the question is where are W.
to find the tribunal lifted above
and beyond the political influences
That control Congress. Il has
been pretty clearly demonstrated
that the Federal Judiciary doe;
not come up to that standard, AM
one of the strongest argument
for Democrats against Judcr
Davis supreme court bin was III
fact that President Arthur, an in
tense partisan, would likely ap
point all those indges from men c
his own ilk. We had lesson th
people will not be slow to forge
