an ordinary lad, apparently acquiring little

enough to last him over Sunday. He went
to work, soon had yoke of oxen, and then
yoked himself to one of Canada's fair daugh-

lslature.
The measure referred to is the one
which compels insurance companies to
statements of their business in
each judicial district and pay legal rates
therefor. The fees prescribed in the
law apply to all legal advertisements.
The legislature of 1881.2-the immortal
body which illegally delegated to a COM.
mission the power of removing the ter
ritorial capital-aised the rates Of legal
printing to 81 per folio for the first and
Is cents for each subsequent inssr-
ton. but did not compel advertisers to
pay this price, leaving rival publishers
to cut each others Threats by bidding
on legal printing. Raising the rates to
this figure is generally believed to haye
been done for the purpose of silencing
the press and preventing criticisms Of
the capital commission act. It had
the desired effect in some localities.
In counties where, if more than
one paper was published and COM
binatlons could be effected, the legal
rate on foreclosures, for instance, wa.
collected, making the price of a fore
closure publication from $22 to $27. 80,
according to its length. Here is where
the injustice of the law came in. Poo,
persons whose property was foreclosec
upon were compelled to pay, under thu

Republicans do not object to Mr..La-
mar being ajustioe ofthe supremec court
Of the United States on the ground that
the question. Of re.enslaving the negro
will ever come before that great and
high tribunal. We do not object to it
on the ground that MI. Lamar 10 not a
representative man and an able man. for
he il both-a repeatedly. chosen repre-
sentative Of his neutrality-suspicious.
his ability v a representative Of his con-
stituenoy has never been questioned.
But Republicans do object to Mr.. La
mar being ajustice Of the supreme court
ofthe United States on the ground
First-That Mr.. Lamar was once
openly and wilfully engaged in treason.
able conspiracy to SKATER the founda-
ton upon which the great judicial pill
lars Of this government now stand, and
that MI. Lamar, being a man of ability
and a true and trusted representative of
. constituency that has never shown
even a superficial sign Of repentance
for their disloyality. cannot have under
gone so great a change Of heart as to
now disbelieve in himself or his former
convictions.
second-That Mr.. Lamar's appoint
ment and his unfortunate confirmation
as q justice Of the supreme court Of the
undivided United States Of America sim
ply marks the beginning Of what may be
expected il the Democracy, controlled
as 1t is by the southern wing Of that
party, remains in power. There will be
more Lamars upon the supreme bench

Third-That a supreme court com.

readily legalizs any measure which q
Democratic congress might pass and q
Democratic president would sign proyid'
ing for the payment Of the millions Of
latent rebel war claims which arc only
awaiting Il favorable opportunity to be
liquidated.
Fourth-That in the event of such an
opportunity presenting itself, tho north
ern Democracy would find themselve,
in the same position they occupied in
1850, when William L. Yancey, con.
scious of the supremacy Of the southern
wing Of the party, cracked his secession
whip in the Charleston convention.
Fifth and neutrality-suspicious. do not
believe that Grover Cleveland, or any
man whom the now united Democracy
Of the north and the south might put
into MI. Cleveland's present position,
would be any more Of a patriot, under
similar circumstances, than James Blu
chanan proved himself to be when the
dominant wing of the Democracy we're
preparing to level their guns upon Fort
Sumpter.
And for this reason, which Is so broad
and suggestive that it embraces all other
reasons, every patriot should demand
that the great judicial body of this gov

the constitution of the United States
and the amendments thereto, shall re.
man in the hands of men whose repu-
tations are not sullied by the faint of
treason.
