THE BLIND goddess is really doing
things up in style in New York. Within
a few weeks political policeman who
ravished an orphan girl has been sent
to Sing Sing for fifteen years; Budden-
sick, the building contractor, whose
rotten houses collapsed and killed
people, has been sentenced to ten
years imprisonment for manslaughter,
and now President Fish, the Marine
Bank wrecker, gets ten years in the
Penitentiary. Ward, the Napoleon of
who robbed the Grants and
other innocents to the tune of few
ought to get about four hun
dred years in close confinement, when
Justice would be entitled to a rest.

THE DISSENTING OPINION.


The dissenting opinion of Associate
Justice Powers in the Musser unlawful
cohabitation case. which appears in full
in this issue of The HERALD, will sound
strangely enough in the ears of Utah
lawyers The attorneys here have be-
come so accustomed to hearing the
opinions of the judges in the District
Courts affirmed by the District Judges in
the Supreme Court, and are so familiar
with the ways of the judges in sustain
ing, approving and applauding each
other, when their rulings in the lower
tribunals come before them for review
in the higher court, that Judge Powers
dissenting opinion will be as startling
as his plain-spoken words are refresh
ing. His Honor evidently is not con-
vert to the you-tickleme-and-I ll-tickle
you doctrine that has so long prevailed
in our badly conceived and worse or
ganized Supreme Court He finds
brother judge has been committing gross
error in the trial of case, and is
not afraid to point out and de-
nounce that error in language
that can be understood. The system is
simply infamous that makes the Judge
in the lower court the attorney advocate
and judge for himself in the higher
tribunal; but Justice Powers has not
permitted the ugly construction of the
court to influence him in desire to |
arrive at justice.
Its true, the dissenting opinion is of
no force, as regards the unfortunate de-
PENDANTS; 1t can do them no good, but
it permits Judge Powers an opportunity
to say that courts cannot afford to VIC
late the law and the rules of practice to
achieve any result, however desirable
that result may be when regularly at
tanned. In effect the Judge says what
jurists and social scientists
say, that it Is better for the
that the guilty escape
than that the punishment
'e unlawfully imposed and the rules
lisregarded and set aside. His Honor
Ioes not apologize for the guilty, and
nanifests sympathy for law breakers
The merely protests against the courts
the law in an effert to punish
he accused-against denying to per-
ION on trial the rights which the law
guarantees to him-against the declar-
Ition by court of the guilt of de-
endant without proving guilt or per-
hitting the accused an opportunity to
iisproye the charge.
We print the text of Judge
Powers dissenting opinion, be-
'ause it is such radical departure
rom the old and almost unbroken rule
II Supreme Court proceedings, and be-
ause also it is SO clear and concise
statement of the error committed on the
rial through the too manifest prejudice
fEthe court which permitted and en-
the prosecution to outrage
lstice, law and decency in the trial of
ne case. Besides, Justice Powers will
e assailed by the rabid and prejudiced
and his,opinion will be complete de- /,
snse.

THE HAPPY people nowadays are the
Mugwumps. Speaking of their content
ment and satisfaction. the New Haven
News, one of their organs, says:
We occasionally find in the funny col
umns of some of our contemporaries a
feeble sneer at the Mugwump. 1t is
generally half'hearted performance .as
if the writer did not thoroughly enjoy
his own joke. But there is one person
who always laughs at these witicisms,
and that is the Mugwump himself. He
is in very hilarious mood Just now.
The feeling which he had Immediately
after election, that he had done well,
but that he did not know just how well
indeed. Therefore he rejoices with the
joy of well doing, crowned by splendid
results, and is ready to laugh even at
the most malicious joke at his own ex-
pense. The Mugwump is happy, and
] hes can only heighRn his content.
But the Mugwump happiness does not
result from the Mugwump having de-
feated the Republican candidate for the
Presidency; it comes from the more
substantial fact that the Mugwumps
have apparently captured the Demo
cratic President.

A fair sample of his homely but for

THE FREQUENT disagreement OF doctors,
concerning which so much is being
said, recalls the old story: 1--WE have
held consultation said doctor to
his patient, "but we are unable to
agree as to the exact nature of your

one opinion while 1 am of another"
But, DOCTOR" said the patient,
anxiously, ''how will the matter be set

The President did find courage to
bounce Burchard, director of the mint.
and Burchard didn't find courage to
resist, as he threatened to do. Probably
the best way to get the rascals out is to
induce the rascals to declare they won't
go; Mr.. Cleveland will then be placed
on his metal, and it has been demon
strated that he has metal.

man, w. w. BELKNAP, whom we remember
only as a distinguished soldier in the late war.
His father was a Democrat but we do think
his boy CHRIS is anything his friend, JOHN
IRWIN, wishes him to be.
If these statements in regard to MI.
WILLIAMS are true, and as yet they have
not been publicly controverted, there should
be no sort Of hesitation on the part of the
president in recalling the appointment, for
it is very evident that Mr.. WILLIAMS is not
a tit man for the Office even if the Demo-
Gratis of Iowa had asked his appointment.
But when they protest most solemnly
against it, we maintain that their wishes
should be respected in preference to those
of New York bankers and the unsavory
BELKNAPs of Iowa. 1t is not a pleasant
duty for Democratic paper to perform
when called upon to criticise Democratic
president, but it would be still more UNI
pleasant to sit with closed lips while gross
outrage was being perpetrated in the name of
Democracy upon deserving Democratic
constituency. A Democrat in an over
whelmingly Republican state like Iowa
is Democrat because of a simple devotion
to the principles of Democracy, and de-
serves preferred favors over one who lives
in state where the supremacy of his party
lightens the burthens of his service. And
above all we want to see maintained the
Democratic principle of according to the
people of each state the right to have a
voice in the selection of their officers.
AS long as this is an issue between the pres
ident and the people of Iowa, the GLOBE
will stand on the side of the people.

N. B. HARDWOOD DEAD.
The Former We1l-Known Minneapo.
lis Merchant Dies Very
Suddenly.
The Cause, a Broken Heart on Ac-
count of the Loss of
Property.

Special to the Globe.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May 1s.-NOrman
B. HARDWOOD, prominent and wealthy citi-
zen OF Valusia county, was found dead in
his bed at Datonia yesterday morning. Mr..
HARDWOOD lately attracted the attention of
the people Of jacksonville by his big
lawsuit, involving the whole of his
large property, some $150OOO, which
was decided against him week before last.
The claims against him aggregate $125, 600.
The cause of his sudden death is a mystery.
His friends claim it was occasioned by grief
at the loss of his property. Others suggest
suicide.
1t will be remembered that six or seven
years ago, N. B. HARDWOOD was af1ourishing
merchant in ST. Paul. whence he moved
to Minneapolis, lured by specious promises
of a bonus. There he engaged in the whole
sale dry goods business and also in manu-
featuring tents, awnings and canvas goods
He did a very big business until Nov. 5,
1880, his doors were Unexpectedly and sud-
denly closed by the sheriff. Claims poured
in from all parts OF the country until they
aggregated the immense amount of $3.50,
900. He claimed assets of over nine hun
dred thousand dollars, but refused
to settle GU the basis of
Is cents on the 81, and finally made full
assignment for the benefit of creditors He
disappeared suddenly while his accounts
were yet unadjusted, which gave confrma-
ton to the numerous rumors already in cir
culation that his failure was very crooked.
The next heard of him was through
the mouthings of half-imbecile son, who
gave away the fact that his father owned a
large orange plantation in Florida. The
creditors made an assault On this property
through the courts and the case as above in
Dictated went against him early this month.

THEIOWA MARsHALsHIP.

The GLOBE has no disposition to NEEDLE
with other peoples affairs or to put it's
finger into another PERSONS pie. But the
fact that the GLOBE has large circulation
in Iowa and always feels an interest in any
matter affecting the people of that state
justifies us in discussing the issue raised be-
tween the Democrats of Iowa and the pres
ident relating to the South Iowa marshall
ship. And more especially do we feel justi-
fed in the criticisms we have made, and
propose to make, in view of the fact
that influential Democrats in that state are
writing to us with reference to the dispute.
1t is quite clear to our mind that if the
president had been properly informed he
would not have made the mistake of APP
pointing MI. WILLIAMS to the office, and the
fact that he is Withholding the new mar
shaps commission is evidence that his ex-
cellency has already discovered that it was
a mistake. The appointment of WILLIAMS
was a general surprise, and when
it was made known that the APP
pointment had been made in opposition
to the wishes of the united Democracy of
the state the feeling of surprise was con-
verted into Indignation, and the whole
country felt that the principle of home
rule-which is very dear one to the Dem :
ocratic heart-had been invaded, and that
in justice to the party which had elevated
him to the chief magistracy the president
ought to retrace his steps.
We do not know Mr.. WILLIAMS, and
,.x,o,. b.or of hin, until ; oo,,,, aoti,, with
this appointment He is described by a
prominent Sioux City Democrat as ian I'M
developed Republican dude, who never had
business or calling of his own never partic-
ipated in any local or state enterprises nor
took part in the politics of his neighbors.
And that he practically has no residence in
that state" The Keokuk Democrat, which
is published in the town where Mr.. WILL
LIAMs claims his home says of him:
The press of the state is asking who G. L.
WILLIAMS is. He is rather good kind of an
inoffensive fellow, that is neither a Democrat
nor Republican, and about as well qualified for
the office OF United States marshal as BENE-
DICT ARNOLD was to sit in council with
WASHINGTON and JEFFERSON, and in politics
is not known outside of the First precinct of
the city of Keokuk; is the nephew OF his
Uncle WILLIAMS of New England, and the
only honorable position we knew him to fill
was the presidency of the Western base ball
club, and that busted under his management
in its infancy. This we think is a fair and
impartial record of our new marshal, G. L..
WILLIAMS. P.S. He is also by marriage the
brother-in-law of one HENRY CLEws and the
nephew-in-law of our distinguished towns
