DEMOCRATS in Mr.. Carlisle's district are
amusing themselves by selecting a man for
nomination to Congress should a vacancy
occur by reason of his transfer to the Su-
preme Bench. It matters very little who gets
the Democratic nomination. since the proba-
bilities are that all the votes viii bs counted
and a Republican elected. Besides, there
will. in all likelihood, be more Republican
votes to count. The injustice to Mr.. Thoebe

Long Judicial Service.

New York Evening Post
1t is a remarkable fact that Iowa, one OF the
strongest Republican States in the Union. has
had Democratic United States District Judge
ever since the organization OF fhe Republican
party. James M. Love. who is still upon the
bench. appointed to the position by Presi-
dent Pierce, in February. 1856. and has thus
completed thirty-two years of eervice. rumor
recently gained currency thrt he would avail
himself of the privilege of retiring pension
when he reaches the age of seventy next March,
but he says that he may continue at work II his
health remains good. Long, however, as has
been his career. Judge Love is not the senior Of
the federal Judiciary in length of service. In
February. 1851, President Fillmore appointed
Ogden Hoffman judge of the United States Die
trict Court in California. then just admitted
into the Union as a State. Mr.. Hoffman was
then but twenty, eight years old, and after q
service of thirty years, he is now less than
sixty-six years old. This record is probably
without precedent in the judicial annals OF the
Nation.

NEW ALBANY FINANCES.

The report of the expert appointed to
examine the accounts of the treasurer OF New
Albany discloses bad state of affairs For
crookedness in the city's financial affairs a
shortage on the part of the city treasurer,
etc. As usual the preliminary stage OF
such matters, the rumors were asserted on
earnestness. Finally an expert was appointed
from another city to examine the accounts.
The present city treasurer has been IN Office
fourteen years, and the examination ran
some years further back. The report of the
expert now submitted is only preliminary,
his examination is not yet completed but it
shows that for long term of years the city's
finances have been shockingly mismanaged.
Many instances and details are given, but the
net result is apparent shortage in the treas
urer's accounts of nearly $50, 600, subject to
reduction by later discoveries. The treasurer
is not alone TO blame, for the Council has
been instrumental in Incorporating and
squandering specific funds, interest on the
city bonds mas de1aulted ana rne city credit

Of politics. The trouble seems to have grown
in part out of too much solid Democracy, the
offices of Mayor, city cle-k and treasurer hav-
past. The recent immense defalcation of the
Kentucky State Treasurer shows the folly of
keeping one man or one party in power SO
long, and New Albany is another case in
point Aside from party politics, it illus
trates the folly of intrusting the management
of city affairs year after year to reckless and
incompetent if not dishonest, hands.

THERE appears to be general complaint
from all parts of the city that landlords and
rental agents are advancing the rents upon
residence property, in anticipation of natural
gas and the boom that is to come The fact
is that very little, if any, natural gas has yet
been supplied to tenement houses, and it is
not fair to the tenants that their rents should
be advanced until after they begin to realize
some benefit from the cheaper fuel. So far
as can be seen, there is no just reason why an
advance should be made at this time and
landlords make mistake in anticipating the
sgood time to come" Until there is an adj
vance in wages or an actual lessening of the
expense of living, rents that were fair and
reasonable during the last year or two should
not be increased at this time. Don't kill the
goose until you are sure of a setting of eggs.
