sAYE THE SUPRENE COURT

There is more than one great issue at stake IN
this contest. We must not forget the supreme
Court. Now that Chef-Justice Fuller has
been confirmed by the Senate, the Democrats
have three members Of the court, and within
two Of majority Nh Justice Field although
apDointed by Mr.. Lincoln, has been avowedly
Democrat for many years, and President
Cleveland has placed two more representatives
of the party on the bench III the persons ol
the new Chief Justice and Mr.. Justice Lamar.
Two of fbe Republican Justices have passed
the limit of age at which they can. by their
,wn discretion, retire upon full pay If MIR.
Cleveland should be reelected, it is more than
likely that the burden Of advancing years
would compel them to relinquish Their posts
before the expiration Of his term and there is
always the chance besides that death may
step in to make a vacancy in the court 1t is
as certain, therefore, as anything human can
be that the reelection Of Mr.. Cleveland will
mean Democratic Supreme Court.
This is not prospect which American peo-
pie can regard with equanimity 1t is true
that most Of the questions growing out ol The
war and reconstruction have been disposed
of by the court But the difference between
the two parties remains the same, and irrecon-
clable The Republican party continues and
will continue to be the party to which gocd
citizens will instinctively turn as safer to be
intruSted with al the graver questions ol gov
ernment. The Democratic party is. to very
large extent, permcated with unsound theories
Of finance 1t has been guilty in many States
Of shameless repudation. and one OF the men
whom Mr.. Cleveland has already appointed TO
the bench is morally guilty of completely IN
one of the worst Of these transactions. The
mass Of the Democratic party adheres to the
ories of constitutional construction upon which
this Nation has put ITS foot. There is scarcely
any unsafe tendency in our politics which is
not largely represented in that party, and
which might not easily find It's exponent,
through President CIevelands appointments,
upon the bench Of our highest court
In the appointments he has this far made
President Cleveland has shown a marked lean
ing toward Southerners and Southern SYM
pathizers No reasonable man will deny that
this is a tendency to be taken seriously into
account There is no doubt that many South
ern leaders realize that il was to the advantage
of the South that the war resulted as ii did.
40 doubt they would be unwilling to revive
slavery. II they could. Blu, their point Of
view, as regards their course in that conflict,
has not changed, and never will change. On
The contrary. they are becoming bolder and
more aggressive as their power increases They
are attempting 10 dictate the fiscal policy Of
the country now, as they did before the war,

Of prudence to remember that hundreds Of
bills for this purpose have been offered IN tho
House of Representatives by Southern Con-
rressnen, who evidently increase their pop

there has never been a possibility that such

A great light has dawned upon the PRESIDENT

Qualities known to a dissatisfied public his
message to Congress on the situation left by

the compromise of our unquestioncd rlgh's'
and indifference to our undouhted wrongs.
MIR. Cleveland has, after three years Oh
doubt, made up his mind that "a Government
does but half its duty when 1t protects its
citizens at home"-whicb his Government we
are bound parentheticay to observe, bas not

President has come to this conclusion, and he
considers this good time when his course IN
suffering such impositions and humlliations Is
about to be passed upon at the ballot-box' to
publish his new and revised opinion. He has
