SnrEp AND rrELIC 0rINION

The number or sheep is coming I'D be
barometer of public opinion. Five years ago
q, soon rs Mr.. Cleveland was elected, the mum
Der of sheep began TO decrease, because there
wa, no faith in thc maintenance OF a National
policy 10y the Democratic perty. The wool
grover, knew Mr. Cleveland infinitely better.
-, it turned ont than some of hi, political
friends. who recommended him ON tine ground
that be would bee found AS good Protcc'ionist
a, anybody" They reasoned that il was
good time TO stop raising sheep, and the price
began 10 decline. When Nh. Cleveland wa,
elected there were officially reported 5o.G2G.-
62G sheep in the country in 1854 and the num-
Der was a little les, in 1855. moro than 1000
| 600 lcs, in 1856, and about G,OOO.O0o les,
in 1887. The average price Of sheep on the
farms wa, - - in 1851. and il declined To
S191 in 1NSG. notwithstanding the decrease
| i'm number. 1h, decrease IN number has con
tinucd until this year and in lNS9, when Pres
dcnt Harrison wa, iuauguatod, the official re-
port showed only l2.J99.O79 sheep in tho
country. a decrease Of more than eight millions.
This year, with the assurance that the in
duStricS Of the people are to bo projected, and
! that the laws for that purpose are to be CT
forced with fidelity, the number OF sheep in
crca-cs. The official report shows gain Of
per cent in number in single year, which
puts matters back about where they were in
1856, and a gain Of I per cent in the average
price which makes the value a little higher
! than il has been a. any time since President
! Cleveland was inaugmatcd. IT can hardly be
said that the wool growers are influenced in
| this matter by any other consideration than tho
political prospects in the United States They
believe that protection is going 10 be enforced
with fidelity and therefore they grow more
| sheep and hold their property at a higher price.
The farm value of sheep year ago was
about S9O.0O0.0O0. II is now more than
$1,000 900 greater and this difference about
- per cent, gives some idea of the benefits
which have already accrued to farmers by rea-
son OF the political victory in 1883. They
have sold their wool at higher prices also
! though OF that difference no exact record is
possible. The average price Of los qualities
Of wool, as reported by Me,Srs. Coates Brothers.
| Philadelphia, was but ZIG cents per pound
| when President Cleveland was nominated. and
rose to go cents last July gain of nearly
, cents per pound. On the reported annual
clip the actual benefit to farmers would be
about S13.250, 900 a year. Whether the wool
growers actually gained more or not quite 50
much in the aggregate, this at least is evident.
that they have been decidedly more prosperous

since the verdict of the people assured the pro-
lection of home industries.
1t was Il mistake for their own interests that
the wool-growers allowed the price to be pushed
ND quite as fast and as far as it was last year
Yet there would never have been possibility
OF such an advance, but, on the contrary, a
certainty of continued decline, if there had not
been definite change in the political situation.
With Democrats in power sheep decreased in
number and declined in value. With Repub-
leans in power sheep increased in number, the
aggregate value increased more than S1O,OOO,-
600, and the annual value Of wool taken from
sheep appears from Philadelphia quotations to
have increased about S13, 600, 600 also.

guards commonly imposed upon Judges and
prosecutors in the interest Of justice were re

TO EXPEDITE JUSTICE.

1t is a common and grievOuS complaint Oh
suitCrS that lawyers have become altogether
too slilfu in weaving network OF techlllcal-
tiles around the administration OF Justice. bt-
ter experience has brought home to thousands
the Truth Of the adage that justice delayed IS
Justice denied. For this reason there ought to
be. as we believe there Is strong popular
sentiment in support of every intelligent at
tempt to expedite the business of the courts
II is. moreover. to the credit OF the legal pro-
fc>sion that its most eminent opponents III near
" every State are seriously engaged in the con-
>idelation of means to remedy the evil OF which
clients complain.
The most conspicuous example OF the IN
Justice which is thus inflicted is supplied by the
docket of the United States Supreme Court
Strenuous efforts have been made in recent
years to procure from Congress some measure
of relief. 1t is proper to say that there has
never been a perfectly unanimous agreement
of The bar as TO the best means of accomplish
ing the object gimcd at, but there is absolutely
no difference of opinion as to the pressing ne
ce>Sitv of the case. The facts have been re-
pcatedy set forth, and are just now officially
brought to public attention once more 10y the
arguments Of committee of the American lar
Association before subcommittee of tn" Jul
dietary Committees Of the Senate and House
nj WASHINGTON. The Supreme Court Is three
years behind its docket, and the yearly excess
Of cases filed over cases disposed of averages
one hundred Moreover large proportion
Of all the suitols at the bar become weary OF
delay. and submit to compromises which IN
volvc III their opinion, partial denial OF
Justice: so that the number of causes annually
removed from the docket represents volume
of litigation far larger than the court is actually
able to adjudcate.
Measures designed to improve these nfortu-
nate conditions are familaIly spoken Of as
measures for the relief Of the supreme Court
and it is possible that many persons outside Of
the profession have thought of them as means
Of tightening the labors of the Judges OF that
bench. If such an idea exists anywhere 1t
ought 10 be abandoned II is not the supreme
Court, but the sutors before IL, in whose be-
half relief is demanded. The Chief-Justice
and his associates now employ all their en-
crgies Of mind and body in the discharge of
their exalted duties but they will not be les,
absorbed when provision has been made TO dis
pose Of some proportion Of the business which
