lHEhE are many Things IN the politi-
cal maneuvers of the country that are Of
evil omen. The legislative and execu-
tive departments of the state and nation.
al governments, IN both political par
tles,reek with corruption until they smell |
to heaven as did Babylon of old. Money
is poured out into doubtful and closely
contested states with lavish profusion for
the purpose of corruptlng the ballet.
Legislatures and congresses enact laws
Tor money consideration, and executives
make appointments in reward for politi.
cal services reg ardless of tho interests OF
the government. But while these things
were known and notorious the judiciary
department has stood like wall of fire
between the people aud the vandal horde
OF dcmagogues and government sap suck
ers in their frauds upon the government
treasury through laws enacted for the
purpose, and The people have rested in
the belief that the courts would head of
these n,erccnary raids, and they have
done so nobly and we'll whenever they
have been appealed to. The cause OF
alarm now ls in the disposition manifest
ed in some places and by some parties ia
handicap the courts. The "expose''
made by Dorsey of the 'slnwardness" OF
the repu bllcan campaign in 1880 wherein
he says Garfield agreed to appoint Stan
ley Matthews member of the supreme
court of the United States in considera.
tion of the contribution to the campaign
fund Of $3.50, 600 by Jay Gould looks bad
if true. The witness is under cloud
and his statements will only be accepted
so Tar as they may be rrooorated by
facts and circumstances. Jay Gould did
contribute the money to the campaign
fund and it was used in the states of Ohio
and Indiana. Matthews was appointed
to the supreme court These corroborate
the statement made by Dorsey so far as
they go but not conclusivcly. If it be
true, the truth is none the less truth
because told by a man who IS univcr-
sally recognized thief and defrauder al
the government who only escaped con.
vlction in court of law through tech
nicalities and the saving privilege Of
reasonable doubt" on the part Of the
jury. In lswa we find a convention
throwing overheard judge of the sta Il
supreme court, for deciding against the
validity of the prohibition amendment t
the constitution and nominating another
for his place on the bench with the
avowed object of reversing that decision
or, in other words, to obtain decision Of
the supreme court which will be in har-
mony with the platform of state con
vention. 1t ls high time the people
whose rights, liberties and everything
they hold dear and sacred depend upon
4 pure and untrammeled judiciary call q
halt upon the politicians in their at
tempts to subsidize and prostitute the ju.
dietary of the country to the vcnal leve
of unscrupuleus political machines.

The Lightning Boys.

NEW YORK, July l7.-Newspapers are
giving considerable space to the threaten
ed telegraph trouble both in the nature 81
interviews and editorial comments.
From the Mail and Express: The situ-
alton is one that deserves to be very care
tully scanned and thoroughly understood
by all directly and indirectly interested.
That Is to say, by everybody The public
has rights that will somehow be enforced
and there is limit to natural right of
employe to strike. 1t is cur belief that
the directors of the great employer Of tel
egraph operators. the Western Union, are
disposed to deal squarely and generously
with its employees whenever they depu-
tie any ono or more to present causes Of
complaint. 1t will not be well for the
operators If they SO lose their heads as to
provoke the lasting disfavor of an lntelli-
gent people for recklessly using peculiar
opportunities given them to annoy the
public. Let them be prudent and keep
intelligent and just public opinion on
their side and they will get all to which
they are entitled.
From the Evening Post: That which
interests the public most and Of which
the public can form no opinion is the
means to which the operators intend to
A strike Of telegraphers now when so
large proportion of the business Of the
country IN every department is carried ON
by telegraph, that credit itself in the
commercial and financial world NAV be
said to rest on it is q very serious matter
indeed. Operators have it in their power
to lnf1ict enormous loss and inconveni-
ence on the community by refusing to do
their work until their employers comply
with their demands Now, the question
whether any body of men ought to be al
lowed for any purpose to intllct this loss
and inconvenience on the public is one of
which the growing complexity of modern
society will soon compel peremptory set
tlement.
From the Commercial Advertiser The
last development of the telegraph trouble
ls that spectators in Wall street are Of
ferlng money to operators to strike. This
ls the last phase of the war on telegraph
companies, but the publication Of the
names of unscrupulous persons whs are
urging on the struggle that would pre-
duce incalculable loss to the country may
not be % pleasant to them as beating
Western Union stock downward. These
people tread on dangerous ground when
they make this attempt
Frem the Herald On the whole it NAV
be doubted whether the operators have
presented - strsng . case that the evils
which exist cannot be questioned, but
they will not be remedisd BY the course
taken.

Huron Times: The Press and Dako-
taian says that startling discovery has
been made regarding the taxation law,
passed near the close of the last session
of the Legislature. BY provision con-
tanned in it, which was, presumably, not
noticed by large majority of the men,
bers during the rush of business inciden-
tai to the closing hours of the session,
all lands IN the territory owned by rail-
roads are made exempt from taxation.
Thi, affects all the land grants of the
Northwestern in Deuel., Grant, Cod
,ngtou and Hamlin, the Northern Pacific
land grant and the portions remaining
unsold of the town sites of all the com
panies.
