r. that a reference to the record which it took
four Of The Trbune's broad pages to contain,
few weeks ago? That record was certainly
broad enough and long enough; but it is hardly
the thing for any admirer Of Mr. Cleveland to
point to, with pride.
Judge Terry, who long ago distinguished HIM
self by killing Senator Broderck, is California
lawyer of undoubted ability and experience at the
Bar. who ought now to be in fair way for promo
ton TO the next vacancy on the Supreme Bench
Of the United States. The President recently pro-
NOTED to that bench a lawyer of very little Irac-
tice who had Distinguished himself by insulting the
United States Judge before whom he appeared, and
iumping over a railing in the court and knocking
down the United States Marshal Judge Terry
has done even more He has grossly insulted Judge
Field. attacked the Marshal with knife and
attempted to kill other court officers For his con-
tcmpt of court Mr.. Lamar was not imprisoned; but
if that feature of the is to count, II should
certainly weigh in Judge Terry's favor Since
he has been punished more, he ought to be re-
warded quicker.
The Trbune's pamphlet Tariff of 1888 and
the Mills bill compared makes an effective cam
mign document, although it never intended
for any other purpose than popular information.
The two tariffs are arranged side
by side showing at glance what
the reductions arc and this clear and
simple arrangement kills, with one blow, the claim
that the reductions average only about 3 per
cent. The pamphlet is handsomely printed, and
costs twelve cents copy while in Washington the
Mills BILL in book form, is sold for a dollar copy.
The Trbunc's pamphlet Will be sent by mail,

built by Mr. John Roach-the Chicago, Boston,
Atlanta and Dophin-are built of better material
than any foreign vessel atloat' Not word about
their structural weakness What will the Navy
Department, or the small portion of it that was
determined that these vessels should be condemned
and consi gned to the scrap heap, say to this?
