THE Lord Chief Justice, the highest judicial
officer of England, has accepted an invitation TO
visit this country, extended by the American Bar
Association. Lord COleridge says, in his letter,
that he cannot leave before the 10th of August.
and that the visit will be contingent upon the
state of his health-the only possible contin-
gency, as he greatly desires to America. The
visit of this distinguished jurist will be event
in current history, and of great interest to every
one, but particularly to the members OF the
bench ana bar. The New York World says:
"Lord Coleridge is "A grandnephew of tho illus
triOus poet and philosopher, and son of Sir John
Taylor Coleridge, recorder of Exeter and judge
OF the Court Of Queens Bench. He was called
TO the bar IN the Middle Temple in 1S47, became
Solicitor general in 1868, and Attorney general
of England in 1871. In 1878, when the Chief
1usticeshlp of the Common Pleas became vacant,
he was, with the general consent of the profess
sion, selected for the post; and the deficiency of
legal abilities in the House of Lords caused by
the death of the leading law lords, made IL neces
sary for him to accept peerage in 1874 as Lord
Coleridge OF Ottery st. Mary. Upon the death
of Sir Alexander Cockburn, Lord Chief JUS
tiee of the Queens Bench, he was trans
ferred to that position. The vacancy caused
by this translation has not been filed, as Eng
land is now unifying the organization of her
High Court of Justice and providing for the az
slmilatton of all the courts, giving them COM
plete, original and appellate jurisdiction in mat
ters of law and equity, criminal and civil, with
the right OF appeal, under certain restrictions,
to the House OF Lords.
"IIord COlerldge has loEg been noted for his
hospitality TO American lawyers and Others WIS.,
iting England, making them welcome in his
court and entertaining them at his mansion in
Sussex Square. in London, and at Ottery st.
Mary, his country seat, in Devon; He has one
son at the bar, and another member of a mer-
camille house which trades extensively with the
Mediterranean aud with South American ports.
Some four or five years ago Lord Coleridge lost
his wife, and his devotion to her memory is
poetic Miss COleridgO, his maiden sister, pre-
sides over his household. AS iurist he is per-
haps the ablest man now on the English bench
Bis decisions are frequently bold, but have been
exceptionally respected by the appellate tri-
bunal."

PERSONS whose schemes may have been in
terfered with because the Republican miner
ity in the late Legislature did not at once lie
down and permit the majority to ride over
them, or for any other reason, can write as
much as they please about the responsibility
OF the Republicans, in any degree, for the
failure of the general appropriation BILL but
there was only one reason for that failure,
and that was the determination OF the Demo
Gratis to force the Governor into sending in
his veto of the metropolitan police bill when
they wanted it, and without any respect
whatever to his constitutional rights
and privileges This was the sole
and only reason for the failure
of the appropriation bill. The Repub-
lican minority, either in the Senate or in the
House, had nothing on earth to do with it,
nor did the question of whether the majority
should rule. No one ever questioned the
right of the majority to rule, and it did rule.
1t defeated rhe general appropriation bill,
and il passed the metropolitan police bill
and every other piece OF partisan legislation.
The people of Indiana know that the major
ity did rule, and that it was very dirty
majority and very dirty rule. Here is
what the indianapolis Sentinel, the Dem
ocratic State organ, says was the reason the
general appropriation bill was defeated:
an order to bring the Governor to a
proper sense of his position, the Democratic
majority determined to withhold the appro-
pration bill and throw the responsibility of
its defeat upon him and his advisers"
1t was ito bring the Governor to proper
sense of his position" and for no other
reason, No twaddle here about the ina
jority rule" but the plain unequivocal
declaration that it was demonstration upon
the Governor.

For extravaganza, stupidity, excessive hell

the interest of the people instead of being

it. He played upon them from point six
inches below the circle the outside, few
inches to the left, striking both balls. The white
ball went to the end of the table, struck the
cushion. and came straight back, stopping with

cushion and also came back into the chalk circle,
stopping next to the red. The cue ball went
clear around the table and came into the circle
with the others, leaving the three together al
most exactly in the center of the circle. AS the
object ball neared the chalk line AID the specta-
tors grasped the players idea, each man fairly
held his breath, and when the ball stopped with
in the circle they waved their hats and shouted

The Difference In Men.

One man has every thing that is necessary to
success in business; he has capital at his COM
mand, influential friends, wealthy relatives
ever ready to endorse his paper,-perhaps
steps into an established bushes, and yet in a
short time he fails Another has none of these
advantages and yet in a short time builds up a
large and extensive establishment. One of
these latter individuals is our enterprising
merchant, J. NJ. Emerson. When asked by us
to what he attributed his success in business he
replied, that il was by fair and impartial deal
ing in all his business transactions; by advertis-
ing and giving the pubic just what he adver-
tised, and by not asking too much for any arti-
Gle in his stOck,alsO by giving the customer any
advantage he might, by careful buying for
spot cash. In other words should little child
step in to buy he would deal as fairly as
though the highest and loftiest person were
purchasing.
No doubt Mr.. Emerson's views are correct.
