A I

Amy political party that engages in
f%usions, unions and trades with the
view to electing this or that man IN
variably gets the worst of the bar
gain in the end. The same rule
holds good with individuals. A man ,
known as a partisan all his life,
who has fought within his party
lines for his party's principles, who
has stood in its ranks and received
the hardest blows of its enemies, and
who has rejoiced in its victories and
mourned in its defeats, cannot lower
his colors and join with his life long
political enemies, with the hope of
temporary gain, without losing the
esteem of his former political asso-
clates and mourning the contempt Of
his new found ones. 1t is a losing
business all round, the deserter sac
rIf1cing the most. In view of the
brilliant record which the Democrat
ic party has made during the past
year, and in view of its tlattering
prospects for the future it may be re-
garded as a certainty that its ranks
will be greatly swelled by accessions
from the routed columns of its polit-
lcal enemies. Honest and far seeing
Republicans recognize the fact
thai the Republican party is broken
and that it cannot hope to prolong its
existence by the questionable meth
DDS which it has SO long employed,
and are now putting their houses in
order to leave it, or rather that it NAV
leave them.
But the case is quite different with
Democrats. The dark cloud which
so long overshadowed them has
parted and now shows its silver lin
ing. Victory is perching itself upon
the banners of their party in every
contest, and those who have borne
the heat and dust of battles in losing
fields are taking heart and preparing
themselves for the forthcoming final
and decisive campaign. No true !
is now contemplating de-
of his party. He knows that
such a step would be suicidal; for
there is everything to lose and moth
ing to be gained by taking it.

WILL TIE CZAR BE
CROWNED?

A recent cable special says: 9TH,
coronation of the Gar at Moscow
may and may not take place" Al
though there is no cessation of prep
araticns it is generally doubted,
throughout Europe, if it will. On
the one hand the Car is daily max
ing some new announcement of his
intended munificence, or of an extra
ordinary lavishness of display, to
catch and please the eye of the Rus
sian peasantry. He has sent invita-
tons to representatives of prominent
anti-Republican French papers to
attend with the promise that the I'M
perial Government will pay all their
expenses, entertain them gorgeously
and present them each with 5000
roubles. On the other hand the
Nihilists seem determined to
make this coronation business
a test struggle between themselves
and the Empire, Their desperation
is deeper than ever before, so desper-
ate indeed that they are absolutely
fearless and reckless as to the conse-
quences which their acts may entail.
They say it does not matter how
many plots are unfolded, how many
men and women are imprisoned, as
their plots are too many to be all de-
tested, and their members, who are
ready to Gle, too numerous Is be de-
fled.
In the meantime the police have
arrested so many men and women
that the jails cannot contain them.
But this fact only shows that the
Nihilistic fraternity is more numer-
GUS and more hostile than eve |
and that its determination is
u~na(terable. Hence the approach
ing event is r. garded;with great un-
easiness by numerous royal and
other personages upon whom it is in
cumbent to attend. The King and
of Denmark have already
excused themselves, alleging as
eason the delicate health of the lat
ter. Many other expected guests
will doubtless find their health fail
ing about the time they are looked
Tor at Moscow and will excuse them
selves from attendance upon that
ground. The opportunities for the

that time the Nihilists will,
f they are in earnest and as desper-
tie as they are represented to be, find
opportunities to blow the

That they will attempt his destruc-

THE BENCH.
The Only Court in the Lana
Where the Judges Wear
Gowns.

A Washington letter says: l was
limited States Supreme Court at
noon to-day. The Court never meets
until noon. and always adjourns at
four O'Clock. So it is in no sense q
hard-worked Court. There is a great
deal of useless ceremony about the
opening of all Courts, but the Su-
nreme Court carries off the cake. 1t
is the only Court in the land where
the Judges wear gowns. AS tne
Judges show up in the Court room,
| the Marshal Of the Court announces
in q loud voice the presence OF 1.-The

tees" Everyone rises to
their feet. They take a
look at the members of the bar,
make a kind of a bow, and sit down.
Then everybody else sits down, the
Marshal going on with his song
about ''Oh, yes, oh, yes, the Supreme
Court is now in session, and all per-
sons having business before it will
draw near and give their attention"
He winds up with a prayer request
ing "GOd to bless the country, and
this particular Court" and then sits
down. not to be heard again until 4
o'clock, when he adjourns the Court
with a similar ceremony. For doing
this and preparing a book OF some
kind during the day on his "Recol-
lections of Abraham Lincoln"-the
Marshal is Mr.. Nicolay, who was
Private Secretary under Lincoln-he
receives a salary of $1,000 per year.
The fact is, however, that the Court
is not in session three months In the
year, SO the Marshal receives $1,000
for the three months. 1t is generally
conceded that Judge Miller is the
best lawyer of the Court. Judge
Field is on the railroad side of every
case that comes up before the Court.
Bradley gives more attention
to the question of drafts, currents of
air and ventilation than anything
else. He says that there is a draft of
cold air striking him right on top
of the head, or the middle of
the back when there is no such draft.
Judge Gray wears a white necktie in
the day time. This is the sum of his
