Allen g. Thurman's Approa ching
Birthday.

Allen G. Thurman's Approach ching
Birthday.
We are in receipt of a polite invita-
tion to attend an "Old Roman BAN
quet to be given at Columbus, Ohio,
on November 10, in honor of the
seventy-seventh birthday of Allen G..
Thurman.
We hardly expect to have sufficient
ly recovered from the fatigues of the
election season to undertake a pill
grimage to participate in thi
notable celebration; but assuredly y we
will be there in spirit.
Not only every true democrat, but
every loyal American citizen does
reverence to the man whose career in
public life has won him the praise OF
that old Roman virtue which has set
the model of manly honor and patriot
ism for all time.
When we contrast the magnificent
Democracy of Allen G. Thurman with
the selfish, self-seeking, power-grasp
I ing, money-grnbbing spirit of some OF
the time-servers and jobbers who call
themselves Democrats, our feeling
towards the Grand Old Roman be-
comes one Of absolute veneration.
Fearless and earnest as he is far
seeing and wise, Allen G.. Thurman
succeeds to Horatio Seymour and
Samuel J. Tilden as the Nestor of the
Democracy, Ian inspiration to the
youth of the party and the bulwark
and support of all true adherents Of
Democratic principles.

Color and Quality.

Thoce who associate color with quality
have almost invariably regarded red as
the symbol for strength and for warmth;
for all its shades are more or less full of
vitality, while nothing is more emblem
attic of the strength and warmth of youth,
with all its hopes and purposes, than that
modification of red known as rose-color.
Blue, again, is universally felt to be the
symbol of GOODNESS, the ancients consider
ing the disembodied spirit to be of blue
tint; and while red is a physical color,
blue--the color of the air, of distance, Of
space, OF the heavens--is an ethereal and
intellectual hue Yellow, ON the other
hand, has had two entirely different
symbolical meanings. In its deep
golden tinge-the color of the
sun-it was the emblem of virtue,
as in the halo of the saints.
while in its more crude and glaring tint
it has always been used to signify base
ness; Judas is often represented In old
works OF art in that form of the color, and
1t is today the color Of the dress of GER
tain class Of convicts. Green, again, has
always been connected in the public
mind with jealousy: purple, with royalty;
white, with purity and joy; gray, with
sobriety, and black, with grief.
The system of heraldry has made great
use of the symbolical meaning of colors-
gules. azure, sable. vert and purpure be-
ing their designations, With all this, the
varying civilizations, or semi-civiliza-
tions, have never agreed on the color to
be worn in mourning-these mourning in
black, those in white, others in yellow
and kings in scarlet. HGTpeT"s BazaT.

WHY JUDGES DISAGREE.

''Court decisions are probably as fair
in this country as in any other country
in the world. And yet decisions are
often rendered which are inexplicable
upon any theory of law or sound sense.
Contrary conclusions on the same ques-
ton, with the same law and the same
state of facts, equally accessible to the
different tribunals and in every case
carefully examined. warrant as the only
explanation that the personality of the
Judge, whatever his learning or expe-
rience or attempted impartiality, is the
principal factor in his judicial determin-
ations. The work of preparing an Opin-
ion consists largely in search for au
thorities which will sustain the view the
Judge feels to be right at the first pre-
sentation of the case and the cOnstruC-
ton of an argument that Will justify
such a conviction to others.
The recent decision of the United
States supreme court is a case in point.
The newspapers have been full of COM
ments on the singularity of lifelong
states-rights men uphOlding United
States authority in preference to that
of the state of Iowa. but it Is known
that the Democratic justices are
more strongly committed against so
called sumptuary laws than against the
theory that the United States Is a nation.
And the more examples are sought, the
more viii it be seen that the personal
views of the judge dominate ali his Off
cial acts.
With Judges as with everybody else.
the personal character Of the man must
be the foundation of all his doings. He
must see not only principles but facts as
colored by his own individuality and by
the effect of education and of lifelong
associations. Judges can be found who
viii act contrary 70 party traditions, TO
their pecuniaTy interests and to their
popularity. but not contrary to their own
personality.
1t is not enough, then, IN the appoint
ment or election Of judge that he be
learned in the law. or of strong reason
ing powers. or of a calm, judicial cast of
mind. He needs TO have IN addition to
all this high personal character. Since
his sympathieS viii 50 largely guide his
reasoning there needs to be an assurance
that his sympathies VIII be upon the
right side, and his courage equal TO
maintaining it.
The foregoing. from the EmpOria Re
publican, sounds plausible as an exparte
statement, but because it Is such. it is
faulty and far from conclusive. The To-
gic of the statement is destroyed by the
fact that the opinion of the court in the
case cited was the conclusion of equal
numbers, as 10 political bias, while the
dissenting opinion was that of three Re
puhlcans, although it Is clear and ex-
plicit enunciation, Of the Democratic
doctrine of states rights. But all these
considerations aside, and adopting the
Republicans conclusion OK the matter.
we would vet ask, who is TO determine
whether and when the svmpathies Of 8
judge. or candidate for that position,
are on the right side Of every or any
question in advance Of being brought
into issue: Nevertheless. we quite agree
with our esteemed eotemporary in Its
estimate Of the essential qualifications OF
the ideal Judge.

The abandonment of Iceland by its in
habitants is one of the most interesting
episodes in the shifting Of population that
the world has ever known. There Is a
little country that has a civilization,
literature and history of its own. and
yet its people find the conditions of lifeso
severe that they are turning their backs
upon it all and seeking new homes.
Thousands of Icelanders have come to
this country during the last few years,
and the hegira continues in such pro-
portions that it Is estimated that fully
10000 people. or one-quarter of the en-
tire population, viii eIhigrate this year.
Homes Will be found principally in the
agricultural regions Of the Canadian
Northwest and there the Icelanders will

ton. while the old Icelandic nation be-
comes merely a tradition of the past.

Everyone will rejoice at the good
fortune of General Fremont To find
that a debt under which he had been
weighted down with anxiety and per-
plexity for years was a myth, being
simply an error Of an incompetent book
keeper, and that instead of the govern
ment having a claim on him for $19 900
he had just claim on the government
for a larger sum, was a revelation well
calculated to Overwhelm the old path
finder. This amount. added to the pay
he will receive since being placed on the
retired list of the army, will be sufficient
to free his mind of solicitude as TO his
maintenance row that the years of in
activity and decrepitude are fast coming
upon him.

1t looks like the old vets who are de-
pending upon congressional action for
show of governmental recognition in sub
stantial form will have to bide a wee.
Both houses have passed a pension bill,
but they are materially different in their
provisions and each body insists upon its
own bill in the form in which it passed.
This failure will be a great disapPoint-
ment 10 the boys, who had supposed the
promises made by both parties before the
last election Were made in good faith
and were meant to be kept. However,

patiently rs he can for another revolu-
ton of the wheels of time which shall
bring him around to the polls again.
