ONE cannot but admire the cool
manner in which England appropri-
ated the kingdom OF Burmah. The
Briton took in country Of six mil
lions Of people without the slightest
pretense OF right or Justice to do so,
with us little concern as though the
whole thing simply amounted to one
bite OF cherry. And England is re-
spected in all Asiatic countries, be-
cause she compels respect. We are
sorry We cannot say this has always
been true of our country abroad,
But now that we have an aggressive
Democratic administration, we may
look for change in this regard,
should occasion arise for an assertion
OF our rights, or display OF force in
any direction. The little episode at
Panama and Aspinwall last Spring
showed the temper of the men now
at the head Of public affairs. While
a Republican administration would
have been meeting, considering and
corresponding as to what should be
done, the Administration had mem
of-war down there and took possess
sien Of both places, holding them un.
til order was restored. Ina few years
more OF Democratic public policy, the
American flag will be restored to its
old-time glory and honor among the
nations, and will receive as great a
measure Of respect everywhere as is
accorded TO the British or any other
banner.

As expected, John sherman was
reelected q. S. Senator yesterday.
This is probably good thing. There
should often be "irightful example"
in the way Of the opposite or negative
to that which is good, by way OF illus
tration, in order TO teach more effect
lively, through the contrast. John
sherman is the best living specimen
OF the fossiliferous era OF sectional
hate and malice, in office in this coun-
try, and his presence in the Senate
will teach the people, as nothing else
on earth could, what a glorious thing
II is that his class have been retired
forever from tile control Of affairs in
the United States. With peace, good
will, progress and prosperity all over
the land, what horrible fate twould
be that would again relegate the Re-
public to the rule Of such men as John

million dollars worth Of property was
destroyed. The water supply was in

cold. The hose was frozen stiff and the

the imminent danger to the church adj

Mr.. @. w. MORTIMER, in an article
published in yesterdays HERALD, in
commenting upon the HnRALD's edi-
torial Of last Sunday wherein we point
ed out some needed reforms in legal
procedure, suggests, among other
things, the entire abolition OF Justices
courts. We take it for granted that
he meant the abolition OF their civil
jurisdiction. OF course, Magistrates
will always be necessary throughout
the land, with some authority in
criminal matters, for the protection OF
society. But when 1t comes to civil
cases, where the principles OF the law
are more diverse and difficult of un-
derstanding and application, and
where none but individual interests
are at stake, it might, as suggested
by us before, be better TO have the
trial at once in the Superior Court.
Especially as nearly all cases of any
importance land costs, ii nothing else,
usually make them importantly are
appealed to the Superior Court and
tried there in the end. As the matter
now stands, a man had better lose a
small claim than to sue for its recov-
cry. no matter how just it may be /;
while, on the other hand, the loser,
even il he deserved to lose, is mulcted
with mass of costs, which, added to
the judgment, make it absolutely un-
Just. The expenses and costs oil
Justices courts are out Of all proper
ton to the benefits derived from those
tribunals by either the creditor or
debtor class of suitors.
