THE SUPREME COURT.

There is no better vindicatien Of popular
suffrage. or of the convention system of max
ing nominations, than the character of the
Supreme Courts in the States where the
judges are elective. We believe there is no
case on record of q Supreme Court scandal in
any State, or of the character of the court
being lowered by the election of an unfit man.
This shows the generally conservative charac-
The Supreme Court Of Indiana is no excep-
ton to the general rule. Its character has
been well maintained, and it stands deserved
ly high among the appellate courts of the
country. This is q source of just pride TO all
good citizens, and it should be the aim of both
political parties to keep it so.
The present Republican candidates for the
Supreme Bench are men who will fully main
tain its reputation. They are all good law
yers. men of high character, old enough to
possess experience and young enough to be ca
pable of hard work. Judge S. d. Coffey, from
the Frst district. is not quite fifty years old;
Judge John G. Berkshire, from the Second
district, is ffty-seven, and Judge Walter
Olds, Of the Fourth district, is forty one.
Two of them, Judges Coffey and Berkshire.
have served on the Circuit Bench with great
acceptability to the people. Two Of them.
Judges Coffey and Olds, served in the army.
All have had a large experience in the
practice Of law and are learned in its
various branches. 1t is nothing to their dis
credit as lawyers and judges that they are
stanch Republicans, and as well grounded in
the principles of the party as they are in the
principles of the law. If each and every one
of these candidates could be elected it would
contribute to maintaining the high character
of our Supreme Court, and certainly add to
the efficiency of the bench, which needs active
young blood, capable of doing much hard
work in order to bring up the overcrowded
docket. The lawyers of the State, and the
people as well, will appreciate the value and
necessity Of putting upon the Supreme Court
bench such able, active and working men as
are the Republican candidates.

THE statement made elsewhere in regard to
the shutting down of four of the mines of the
Brazil Block Coal Company is one to attract
general attention. Hero is a practical fact to
illustrate the pendingdiscussion. The Union
steel-works and the great ~rolling-mill OF
Chicago are using so much less coal,
by reason of the present business disturbance,
as to cause, or aid in causing.
the stoppage of mining in Clay county. Mr..
0. W. Potter, president of the North Chicago
~rolling-mill, says the election OF Harrison
and Morton is necessary for "a safer business
basis" These men are not actuated by poll
tics, it is a matter of business with them.
They are not theorists, they are practical
workers. Their letters are startling in the blunt
way in which they present the possibilities.

The tribute to General Harrison by four hum
dred members of his old regimenti is a touching
indication Of the feeling of comradeship which
these veterans have for their old commander.
He was not only their commander. be was
their friend and sYmpathizer; and the ties
formed in those days Of danger and hardship
years. They followed him then into battle
and victory; they have watched his career
since with pride and interest. and now that
he is again a leader in a fight where results
are as important as any fought in the sixties.
these veterans com forward with an assurance
Of affection and loyalty that. aside from all
its political bearings, must afford the
object Of their regard the great
est personal qualification. Their simple and
heartfelt testimonial is a sweeping REPUTATION
of the stories circulated by a venomous and
desperate Democracy of his ~unpopularity with
the soldiers, and is ample proof that his rela-
tons with them were of an unusually close
aud friendly character. These veterans have
indicated their regard over and over again
during the campaign, but are not satisfied
without this formal tribute to show that they
rejoice in the promotion of the commander of
their regiment to the leadership of his party;
that they have confidence in him now as then,
and will follow him again to victory.

BENEVOLENT INSTITUTIONS REFORM.


To ask for reform in the name of some of
the candidates on the Republican county
Legislative ticket is a blistering farce.-The
News.
Who. for instancef Il is time to stop stab
bling in the dark. and to say what Republican
candidates for tbs Legislature you want
defeated, and what Democratic candidates
you want to see elected in the interests Of
reform
That was a suggestive compilation OF letters
printed in yesterdays Journal, in answer to the
queries of the State Civil.service Reform Asso-
citation. The Republican candidates for the
Legislature from Marion county promptly and
unequivocally answered that they would vote
to extend the civil-service law over the State
institutions. and that they would vote so as to
rescue the public institutions from the blight
of partisan control. Not a single Democratic
candidate in Marion county. and but four in
the whole State, took the trouble to respond at
alone in the negative. and the other three
from counties where there is no chance Of the
election of a Democrat.
Theonly possible hope of taking the benevo-
lent institutions ont of party slums is by the
election of a Republican Legislature. The
News knows this as well as il knows anything.
1t is "a blistering farce" to talk about any
thing else. It is an attempt to hoodwink hon
est people. The very men whom the News is
opposing have pledged themselves to the re-
form, and those Democrats whom it favors
are known to be opposed to it, and one Of them,
at least, has a scandaIous record in connection
with the Coy-Sull;van- Harrison ring Of cor
ruptionists
Col. James B. Black, in . speech last
night, at Greenfield. told some interesting
facts respecting the benevolent Institutions
of the State and the effort TO have them placed
on a civil service basis. Colonel Black is q
member Of the State association, and of the
executive committee which had the matter in
charge, and, therefore, speaks by the card.
The record shows the unyielding opposition
of the Democratic managers to giving up
partisan control of the institutions. and stamps
as false and dishonest every effort to blind the
eyes of Republicans to the real status of the
case. Every Republican candidate from Mar.
ion county will vote for this greatly needed
| reform, and there is not a pledge in existence
from any Democratic candidate. The only
pledge is the party record, and that is against
