JUDICIAL CANDIDATES.

A number of Journals have step
ped out of the political rut in can
wasting the merits of different candi-
dates for judicial positions. The
Courts of Justice should be separate
and distinct from political parties,
and the qualifications of candidates
who are aspiring to judicial positions
should be considered without regard
to their political bias. The office Of
District Judge should be especially
exempt from paatisan feeling, and
no question of politics should enter
into the discussion as to who is the
best and most com petent applicant
for the position. Nothing bearing
upon the fortunes of either party is
ever brought before District Judge,
and for this reason all such officers
should be permitted to hold their
seats with 90 much freedom from
purely political obligations as posi-
BILE. The Carson Bee, Democratic
journal, has taken the high ground of
judicial fitness as against political
expediency in the choice of Judge
for that district, and is advocating
the claims of the Republican nominee.
Uutil there is change in our method
of nominating officers of our courts it
will be necessary to give the several
candidates the name OF Republican or
Democratic nominee for District
Judge, but there the political features
of the judicial campaign should end.
If there 10 any Office in our system of
civil service in which long tenure is
advisable and expedient there is Ger.
tainly none which has more claims
in that direction. Years of expert
,nce add to the ability of q judge,
and years OF impartial and aole al
ministration of the duties of the Office
are the best arguments in favor of
retaining present incumbent. A
judge should not feel that he is a part
of the political machine liable to be
thrown aside by the manipulations OF
parrish leaders. or through the muta-
tons of party fortunes. For these
reasons the people in casting their
ballots should look we'll to the past
services, present ability, and individ
ual merits of the candidates for this
effice, and should throw entirely aside
all considerations of party when max
ing their selections.

-IT is astonishing the number
of intelligent people who regard q
cold or cough as a trivial matter,
something unnecessary to pay atten'
ton to. How many times have you
heard tie expression, "Oh nothing
the matter, only a slight cold" Yes
my friend, and nine-tenths of the
many thousand consumptives who
walk the earth to. day doomed to a
premature death, said the same
thing. We pay attention to cold,
and promptly too. Our remedy is
Ammen's Cough Syrup; some other
preparations are good, but we have
found it by far the best.

NEvADAS POLITICAL CON-
PLEXloN.

The San Francisco Post says Adams
is the strongest man the Democrats
could have dominated, but the condi-
tons are against the probability of a
Democratic victory in Nevada this
year. The candidacy of Colonel Fair
for United States Senator 10 1880 gave
the election of that year to The Dem.
ocracy, and the result was the weakest
and most pliable Legislature and
some of the most ignorant and cor
rupt county governments ever in the
State. Times are hard In Nevada
and taxes are high. Taxpayers of all
shades of political complxion are
aroused and determined to inaugur'
ate an era of reform and economy.
The taste of Democratic rule hiss sat
isfied them, and as the Republicans
have put up an exceptional State tick
ct, and will follow suit in their legis-
lative and county nominations, a
Republican victory may be safely
predicted.

Vandswster is the choice of the tax

Ed. TIMES Having taken good
look at nearly all the mines in Como
it Is only fair to say that an we'll
satisfied and highly pleased at what
l have seen since my arrival. have
travelled extensively through the diff
tsrent mining camps of the Pacific
coast for the last twelve years, and
have never seen q better indication Of
large mineral deposit, or a better
showing for the work that has been
done than there is here in Como. 1t
has always been matter of surprise
to me how men who are in search of
mines will wander off to the distant
and difficult districts in New Mexico
and Arizona, where it will take from
$50, 600 to 100000 to build trails
and roads, and where Indians are
hostile and wood and water scarce,
only to discover that the mines they
purchase at exorbitsnt prices are of
little or no account. This conduct on
the part of capital is strange while
such prospects as can be seen in Como
lie dormant in the midst of a civilized
country, where roads are already built
and where every facility for economi-
cal working can be found. Here
good claims can be purchased at rea-
soLable figures from men who have
struggled, and are still struggling to
open mines which they know to be
good if capital can only be induced
to lend helping hand.

The Home Missionary Society.

Rev. George l.. Walkers Sermon Sunday.
 The sermon of Rev. Dr. George L.. Walker at the Center church, Hartford on Sunday, was devoted to the American Home Mission ary society, and was 8 strong and vigorous criticism of the policy of that organization, and especially of the results of the annual election of officers of the society at Brooklyn last Thursday. The Post says: "Dr. Walker is a member of the committee of fifteen ap- pointed at Chicago last summer to bring about closer relations between the society and the churches which furnish the funds for the support of the home mission | work. Rev. Henry NJ. Storrs, who 1 has been one of the secretaries, is not liked by the workers in the home mission field, and is objectionable also to many of the l churches. But at the election Thursday, 1 through the instrumentality of Thomas :! Shearman and the Brooklyn clique, he was l elected secretary, supplanting Rev. Dr. D. B. l Coe, who has held the secretaryship fo1 1 thirty years Dr. Coe is the father of Pro lessor Coe formerly of Yale College, but now
 at the head of the leading Presbyterian church in New York. The overthrow of Dr. Coe and the unfair manner in which the com mittee of fifteen have been treated has de
 veloped strong feeling against the Brooklyr
 managers, and Dr. Walkers sermon was
 review of the situation. During the pas
 three years the Center church has contributed
 in cash and legacies upwards of $23.O00 fol
 the society, but the contributions hereafte from the church will materially diminish un less the trouble now brought to g crisis cal

The services at the chapel on Middleto VII avenue continue to be namerously attended, both on Sundays and at the weekday even ing meetings The venerable old house in lot in the rear is in 8 very dilapidated condi- dition, half in ruins and the rest ready to be demolished.
 Doherty's slaughter house will probably be rebuilt by the owner in the fall.
 The recent heavy rains swelled the volume of water in the Quinnipiac very materially and made yesterday very unusually high tide in the meadows.
 The road up Cedar Hill from the horse railroad stables to Middletown avenue, though often fixed, still needs more fixing as it is much cut up by the heavy truck and stone cart teams which run over 1t, and people driving over it in muddy weather express themselves decidedly in favor of its being again touched up little.
 It is probable that ere long houses will be built on the west side of Neck bridge, as hundreds of loads of dirt and other material has been filled in on the north side of the road and it is expected that before long several good-sized building lots will be thus made
 A new residence and barn have been erect ed beyond Mr. Knights house and not far from the Quinnipiac range.

 William Richards, the Canadian murderer, arrested in Waterbury week ago last Fri" day for the murder of Joseph Jackson, in the woods near Abercorn, Canada, made 6 full confession to Assistant Jailer H. B.. Kingsley at Hartford yesterday afternoon. The Post says: Richards was visited by his wife at about ? o'clock Mir. Kingsley was in the cell hall at the time, and after talking for few moments with her husband the lat- ter called Mir. Kingsley to his cell door and made to him the following confession
 ssMr. Kingsley said Richards, "my con- science troubles me and I want to make a clean breast of this whole business. Joseph Jackson told me, while we were travelling to. gether that he had no money, and I paid his fare from Montreal to Abercorn, where we went in search of work. When we could not finds any and were walking away from Abercorn, he said to me, William, what are we going to do? have no money I replied that did not know what we should do, as I had nc money either He then said, I have $1O At this I said You d-n scamp! when you had this money all the time why did you let me pay your railroad fare?' When I called him d-n scamp he hit me in the face and then I struck him and knocked him onto the rocks and the fall beat out his brains.
 ''Then left him. His trunk is in my eel lar in Waterbury, under trap door, where put it three weeks ago. When my wife and I went to Waterbury she asked me what had done with the trunk, and I told her had given it away. Jackson's watch and chain and telescope are in the trunk where put them myself" After the confession Richards was very | much overcome, but said that he felt better At having told the truth
