The Superior Court JudReship.

The question of the next congressman
from this district having been virtually
settled by the nomination Of Hon. r. e.
Lester, the next important Office in this sec
ton Of the state for which there will be a
contest will be probably the superior court
judgeship for this circuit. 1t is about GER
tain that if the number of the supreme
court judges is increased to fve-and there
is every reason to think it will be-Hon. A.
Pratt Adams will be given a place on the
supreme bench. His promotion will be a
great loss to the people, as well as to the
bar, of this circuit The verdict of those
who are in position to express an
intelligent opinion on the subject Is
that he has no superior among the judges
of the state. Several prominent lawyers,
who were incidentally discussing his merits
and qualifications as a judge few days
ago, united in saying that the members of
the bar accepted his decisions without
question, and were satisfied with them, be-
cause they knew that he had not reached a
conclusion in any case until he had made a
careful and thorough examination Of all the
issues involved, and believed that he was
right beyond a reasonable doubt, and they
agreed that he was about always right.
OF course, the people Of this circuit
would like Judge Adams to remain where
he is, but IL would be selfish in them to in
sist upon his doing so. He has the ability
to fill higher position, and as he has been
faithful and capable in looking after their
interest they cannot do otherwise than
assist in promoting him to a wider field Of
usefulness On the supreme bench the
whole state would have the benefit of his
ability and legal requirements.
In the event Of his promotion among
those mentioned as his successor are Hon
T. NJ. Norwood, Capt Robert Falligant and
Hon. f. G. duBignon.

Profane Swearing in Public.

The MORNING NEWS published a com
munication from a working woman few
days ago, in which she said that she had
lived in seven southern cities, and that she
had heard more profane language in the
streets of this city than in those Of any
other. Is this charge which she brings
against this city well foundedl II it is, it is
time that steps were taken to correct the
evil 10 which she calls attention.
She is woman of refinement and cult
ure, but misfortunes have reduced her to
the necessity of seeking employment
wherever it is to be found to earn bread for
herself and her children. II may be that
during her residence mother southern cities
she was not forced by her circumstances
into positions where she would be likely to
hear coarse, brutal and profane expressions,
and that after all swearing in the public
streets is not more common here than else
where.
But it ought not TO be common anywhere.
There is no excuse for using profane Ian
guage, particularly in the public streets.
No gentleman is ever guilty of profane
swearing in the presence of ladies. Even
the most brutal and ignorant of men would
| not use the name of God irreverently or
utter foul language in the presence of a
refined and cultivated woman. Why, then.
| should they feel at liberty to use such Ian
guage on the public streets, where they are
| likely to be heard by women and childrenS
II they have not sufficient self respect not
to do so, why should they be permitted to
do SOL There are ordinances against
drunkenness and other nuisances, and why
should not the authorities undertake to
abate in the public streets the foul language
| nuisance. 1t is as important that the pub
lie morals should be protected as it is that
peace should be preserved.
The streets are full of quick cared, bright
minded children. The profane words which
fall from the lips of thoughtless men make
an impression upon them that the efforts Of
careful, loving mothers cannot erase. What
they hear they reproduce, and profane
words from the lips of youth startle and
sadden even those who have forgotten the
christian influences of their childhood
homes, and have lost their respect for
purity, morality and all sacred things.
Many men think they have right to in
dulge in as much profanity in public as they
please. They are mistaken. The public
have rights in this matter, and every COM
munity in which there is sufficient moral
backbone sees to it that those who use pro-
fame language In public are properly pun
ished

How Dinner Table In Providence Was

Ready for the Fray.
From the Boston Globe

Let's see, now-my feathers and fans.
My ribbons and jewels and laces,
My handkerchiefs, slippers and gloves
Lie all In their several places.
My lingerie, bonnets and hose
My dresses of silk and of satin,
All packed but o me, there's my roupel
For mercy's sake, mother, get that in
There isn't an inch more Of ROOM
And must have those novels from Paris
What nuisance Can't something come ont
To make space? oh. yes luckily there is
That Bible! Whatever possessed
You to put it In, anyway, mother?
Whoever gets time at the beach
With such things as religion to bother?
There, thank goodness, guess that is ALL
This pestilent packing Is over
But-O stay. there's my Bloom Of Youth vet.
Squeeze that in and then slam down The
cover
And wait just a minute-you might
Find spot for this diamond locket;
My bathing suits all that's left now,
And can put that in my pocket

The Situation at Chicaeo-

The indications that Blaine will be nomi-
mated are stronger than ever. Our dis
patches have all along pointed to him as
the man who would finally be chosen. The
delegates who favor him are largely in the
majority, and, doubtless, could have nomi-
mated him yesterday, or the day before, if
they had wanted to. They did not want
TO, however, and do not intend TO nominate
him until they have given all the other
candidates a fair chance to show their full
strength.
1t has been apparent from the beginning
that the Blaine men had control of the con-
vention, and that when they had shaped
things 20 suit themselves they would carry
out their programme. They cannot afford
TO let Blaine be nominated by a majority.
Doubtless he has an understanding with his
friends that they are to give him a unani-
nous nomination. II he were to accept a
majority nomination, he could not avoid
the charge Of not having written his Flor
ence and Paris letters in good faith, and a
charge of that kind would be a damaging
one
His friends appear TO be carrying out
their programme successfully. There is
quite strong minority opposed TO Blaine,
and this minority must be convinced that
nobody but Blaine can be nominated. 1t is
being permitted, therefore, to try to nomi-
nate some one Of the other candidates 1t
Is not meeting with much encouragement,
and by Monday, probably, it will be ready
TO admit that Blaine is the conventions
choice, and will join in giving him the unan-
imous nomination he desires and which may
be the condition of his acceptance.

Unless the marriage Of Mr.. Joseph Cham
berlain 10 Miss Endicott takes place soon,
the public will begin to suspect that there

that impression is rapidly gaining ground,
and special from Washington goes so far
as to say that Miss Endicott is not for
Joseph after all. 1t is represented that
Secretary and Mrs. Endicott oppose the
marriage, and that tho young lady, who
does not return the Englishman's affection
Is willing 20 acquiesce in the decision Of
her parents. You can't always tell aboui
