Now that the delegates of the republi-
can clubs will be coming in to the state
gathering it might be we'll to ask tnom,
what they are here forY7 Nothing could
be more pertinent than Flanegan's ques
ton: "What are we here for?' The Ie-
publican party has 70 candidate in the
field. 1t has no platform of principles
formulated. The party in fast has only
negative existence. Men usually form
themselves together TO accomplish some
thing unitedly that they could not do in
dividually. Tho members of republican
clubs appear to be banded together to
not do anything. They can do moth
ing each man for himself az well "a when
acting together, so the question arises,
what are they here for?

influence, causing some of this organic

for that is what they are sailed here for.

As the crown prince of Germany takes
his seat on the throne OF one or the
greatest empires of modern times the
world looks on IN sadness. young man,
in the prime of life, with all that human
ambition can ask for realized, yet know
ing that in a few brief days he must bow
his head to the memorable, and bid adieu
to earth and all it can bestow on man. 1t
would be difficult to cite more forcible
illustration of the bitterness of all things
pertaining to this earthly existence. If
man is immortal, then existence is a
blessing, whether its condition be that of
potentate, prince, or a peasant. But
if this is all, then all is nothing; and it
would be as well, had il u aver been.
MUCH NEEDED LAW.
We ought to have law in this country
to hang a man without trial and Instantly
for proposing the name of q judicial of
fcer for presidential candidate. The
action of Judge Gresham on Monday in
disgrace TO the federal bench. ten year
old school boy could not have misuuder-
stood his duty in the matter, but Gres-
ham has lost his head. He has been
mentioned 70 frequently lately for
presidential candidate that he Is as badly
cracked on that subject, as old Dana of
the Sun was in 1884, VIXEN the Philadel-
phia Times mentioned him for a candi-
date. The Wabash officials saw the law
so clearly against them that they recind
cd their order not TO carry 20" freight,
ard determined to avoid the law on
technicalities. The 90" road asked the
Injunction in order to prevent future
violation Of the law. To grant it might
have offended a labor organization and
the judge with presidential
bee as big as n turkey gobbler buzzing
in his bonnet evadCd alike the issue and
his duty. Five millions of people along
the line Of that railway are having their
business ruined by the strike and the
violations of law by the corporation and
its employees. The duty of the court to
the people was perfectly plain, but the
jndge with his head full of presidential
aspirations, Of course played the
demagogue politician and lodged.
Chase became So crazy that he
actually went about hunting n
party that would nominate him for presi-
dent. Even so able a man and good a
Judge as David Davis became worse than
Chase. Judge Field, yet on the bench,
made a stupendous ass of himself in
1880 to got a nomination. Gresham if
let alone might have mudo the country
pretty good federal Judicial officer. He
is spoiled now. He will never be worth
anything for judge, nor for anything
else. lie is cracked badly cracked.
Ruined by fool friends and partisan
press.
