The impending Conflict.

The recent elections have revealed political con-

conflict OF our history. 1t is due to truth to say
that the conditions shown such that each party

a mighty struggle.

MR.. JUSTICE JOHN M. HARLAN'S
OPINION

Mr.. Justice Harlan, one OF the Justices OF
the United States Supreme Court, has per-
formed the promised and the wonderful feat
of swallowing himself, and is said to be as
well as could be expected under the circum-
stances. The United States Supreme Court
is made up of nine Justices. as follows:
Chief Justice Morrison r. Waite.
Justice Samuel i. Miller.
Justice Stephen ]. Field.
Justice Joseph 2. Bradley.
Justice John III Harlan.
Justice William Il. Woods
Justice Stanley Matthews.
Justice Horace Gray.
Justice Samuel Blatchford
These Judges are all Republicans except
Mr.. Justice Field, who is said to be Demo
crat, and who was appointed in 1868 from
California. The purpose of the Republican
party, since it came into power, has been to
partisanize the judiciary of the Republic,
and it is only required to notice that the
Supreme Court contains eight Republicans
to one Democrat to establish the charge be-
yond controversy Now. when the people
have made up their minds to dismiss the
Republican party from power, when the cry
rings out across the continent. "Turn the
rascals out" it would seem to be in strict
accord with the eternal fitness of things, for
the Republican Supreme Court to split.
