Youth No Crime.

Some Of those who oppose Mr.. Glenn
entson for circuit Judge give as a reason
that gentleman's youth We think a
good answer to that objection was made
by farmer the other dav, who said
that if man is ever to know anything,
or be fit for anything. he ought TO know
something ut forty. The truth Of this
is borne out by the facts of history.
Many Of the great authors, orators, SOL
diers and statesmen have made their
regulations before they attained their
fortieth year Lord Maculay's fame as
an essayist was established before he
had reached that period by the publica-
of his ESSAYS on Milton, Lord Bacon,
Lord Give. Hallam' constitutional his
tory and other writings which were not
surpassed by any Of his productions of
his later year. Before he was forty
years of age he had made his reputa-
Ftion as parliamentary orator, and had
entered the cabinet as secretary of
war. Before he was forty years OF age
Napoleon Bonaparte had made himself
the greatest military commander of
modern times, and ruler of France
/ Shakespeare Merchant of Venice,
Richard Ill, Hamlet, and others of his
great plays were written while their
author was between thirty and forty
Daniel Nebstcr's greatest legal argu-
ment that on the Dartmouth college
case-was made when he was thirty-six,
and his address ut the lay inc of the cor
/ ner stone of the Bunker Hill monument
when he was but little more than forty
Horace Greeley was the greatest jour
/ nalist in America, and one of its most
influential men, before he had seen his
/ fortieth birthday; and the lamented
Garfield had established for himself a
reputation as q college professor, sol
dier and statesmen before two score
winters had passed over his head.
The very fact that such flimsy ex-
cusc is made 10 serve the purpose of
argument is nothing less than an adj
mission that the gentleman against
whom tits urged is inyulnerable in char
acter. attainmentS and all qualities re-

William Pjtt-who at twenty-five was
''the most powerful subject that Eng
land had seen for generations; who
ruled absolutely over the cabinet and

Decciyiug the PEBBLE.

The La Fayctte county Democrat OBJ
ierte to the assertion of The HERALD
that, in the present judicial campaign,
there will rs there always has been,
two political parties represented. 1t
further objects to the statement on the
ground thatit is the lesson taught by
the Joe Mill, catechiSn,' Whatever
that may I've, and as q windup Of its IN
dictment state, what the Democrat
would find hard 10 prove. and which it
knew was not susceptible of proof when
It made the assertion, that Judge Mills
held that his decisions on the bench
should, whenever possible. "bulwark
aud strengthen thc party" These free
aud easy statements Of the Democrat
and the auimus of the entire article of
which they form a part, only serve to
strengthen the assertion of The HERALD
in former issues. that, finding that the
pre>en. candidate for the iudgeship,
Hon. George Clementson, was absolute
~ iuyulnerable, the friends and hackers
of Judge Cothren are forced to fall back
on attacks directed against the former
republican occupant Of the bench This
kind of an attack by proxy may prove
entirely satisfactory to the attacking
party but win hardly prove valuable
method for convincing the mass OF the
people that Mr. Clementsou is not the
proper candidate for their sulfrages AS
Mr.. Clemcntsou has always held aloof
from active politics he hardly comes
within the lines of the Lancaster
crowd" TO which the Democrat refers
with 50 much bitterness OF feeling.
But the question Of partiSauship comes
under another head. Following the
line marked ont for the campaign.
the Democrat objects str3nuou>ly 10 a
partisan judiciary, le. in the same
breath it proceeds to slow that Judge
Cothren vas elected against Judge
jackson As Democrat, Vet fails to
show where Judge Cothren is less Of a
Democrat toslay than he was at the time
he .irst assembled the bench.
The writer, III fact, admits by infer
ence thatit the Democratic party was

Raidinw the Treasury.

Eads has progressed 50 far in his raid
on the Treasury as to have secured a
favorable report for his ship railway
from the senate committee on commerce.
Mr. Eads' wishes the government to
take stock in his pet theory and guar.
antee dividend of six per cent on
500, 900, 900. TO the ordinary observer
this might appear to be a rather cool
demand, but Eads is of the opinion that
it Is dirt'cheap, rs if he asked twenty per
cent. instead of six the government
ought to jump at the chance. The gen
teman claims that private capital in
plenty can be obtained but he is author
lied by the Mexican government to seek
aid from one foreign government, there
fore he comes to the United States with
the first refusal Yet if private capital
j, ready to invest in the project why is
it necessary to invoke the MD of any
government.
Evidently Mr.. Eads has an object in
view and in order to further that object
he brings forward the ghost of British
Interference and shows up in narrowing
lines the dangers which would inevitably
result were the stock Of the company
placed on the markets where it would
be taken by British capitalists, who in

government, bringing in its train san
culinary war if we ever wished to obtain
possession Of the enterprise or carry out
the spiritof the Monroe doctrine
This is the view also taken by Mr..
Ead'S new converts, the committee on
commerce. The committee is quite cor
rect in asserting as they do that 'that
there can be no doubt there exists in the
minds Of the American people most
determined opposition to any foreign
control upon this continent" but this is
no valid reason why the government
should enter into a partnership with
private capital to build ship railway
across the lsthmus of Tehuantepec.
Former business arrangements. Of a
similar nature. have been fruitful Of
nothing but Il long train of disgraceful
scandals in which the government fur
nished the backing and the capitalists
reaped the benefits
The sum which this government is
modestly asked TO donate is 23,000,00
per year. Far better would it be if the
sum were expended in building up a
navy and placing sea coast defences in
a shape to resist attack Then at the
end Of twenty years something would
be left to show for the money expended
and the United States would be in a
position to back up the principles enun-
ciated by the Monroe doctrine.
Ii Mr. Eads' can secure private capt.
tai let him do SO; but the less this govern
mcnt has to dowith the matter as an ac-
/ tive business partner the better Capital,
whether foreign or native, has right
to invest where it will, the issue of pro-
lection can be decided as it developes.

many regrets. At Derby we had an

as they came out into the damp, chilly
air, not half clad for such an excursion.
But they all looked happy and | trusted
they would forget how cold it was.
The smaller children were in large
wagons, trimmed with greens and flow

Litchtield we had time to visit the Ca
! thedral (being on an excursion train,
were switched off here and there for the
regular trains), which is beautifully
situated near the river. There was a
lovely monument to two children of the
Dean. One died of consumption the
other was burned to death. They were
lying in each others arms, on little
mattress, just drapery to cover, with
out marring the symmetry of the whole.
They were very lovely, SO easy and
natural, that you could hardly believe
that you were looking at piece of
carved marble Another statue was of
a Bishop who had recently died. He
was kneeling on cushion as if at SER
vice, the figure was life-size, of pure
white marble. As we walked back to
the station we saw fine
