A CLOuD OF cANpIpATEs.

The general statement is telegraphed from
Alabama that in one Of the counties OF that
Commonwealth there are now eight hundred
ordinary number of men to find in one county
who are incapable Of making a satisfactory
living in the usual lines of business.
Estimating the whole population Of this
county at fifteen thousand, which is about
the average number of inhabitants to the
county, and emitting the negro population
from consideration. We would have white
population of not more than eight thousand.
Eight hundred aspirants for Office among
eight thousand persons would be about one
aspirant to every ten persons of all ages and
both sexes.
But on an average there is not more than
one voter TO every five persons. According
to this estimate every other man in this Ala
bsma county Is not only anxious to be elected
TO Office, but is exerting himself to secure it.
The merchants. the farmers. the lawyers. the
doctors. the ministers of the gospel, are all
eager to become sherifs, constables, treas
urers, justices of the peace. judges and men,
bers Of tho Legislature. But if every other
man is a candidate, on whom does be cleo
tioneer? On his fellow candidates? or on the
one eccentric neighbor who is content 10 re-
main at home and attend 20 his private bust
ness
With eight hundred candidates in q voting
population of sixteen hundred. the atmos-
phere must be raised almost TO the explosive
point, by the lively exaggerations, the insin-
uating appeals, the alluriDg mendacity of the
aspirants for office. The only protection for
the man who is not an aspirant for Office
when surrounded by such cloud of candi-
dates would seem to be that he should him
self become candidate at the first oppor-
tunity which he has Of announcing himself
In this way, he would soon be- in position TO
give as much as be takes and return button
holding for button-holding.
The Alabama county. where this extraordi-
nary state of things is now to be observed,
must have been one Of those communities in
which the boom produced a vast crop of false
hopes which have now been dissipated like
prcked bubbles The excitement and in
toxication of flush times having vanished, the
only recourse left TO tha men who miss the
illusions of their former dreamland is 10 I'M
dergo all the peasurable uncertainties Of a
political campaign in which the mind can be
lifted up TO some of ITS former exaltation
This is the only explanation which we have
to offer for such an unusual number Of can
didates. not more than a bakers dozen Of
whom can succeed, as the number Of local
offices is limited
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1891-12-24

The extension Of the limits Of the city cor
poration, which Is now possible through tho
action Of the Legislature in session. will do
much 10 promote the prosperity of Richmond
and advance it's importance as municipality.
Extension will and very substantially 70 tho
present population Of the city. fact that
will be OF benefit 10 it when it's standing
among the cities of the Union comes 70 be
considered. Tho larger the city the moro
likely il it TO attract capital and population
from without.
Extension by offering every municipal adj
vantage TO the residents Of outlying districts
will draw oil householders from the present
area of the town. and this will have the eiiec
of reducing the high figures of our rentals.
High rents benefit comparatively small
class and bear hardly upon very large pro-
portion Of the community. who are thus rem
dered the less able to purchase homes of their
own. This is true not only of those who fol-
low mechanical trades. but also of those en-
gagged in all other forms OF employment,
whether higher or lower.
Extension will add to municipal expenses,
but what will be lost by this will be more
than made up in the enlargement Of the basis
Of taxation.
Practically Richmond has outgrovn i:s
present limits. Extension is only question
of time and nothing is to be gained by de-
ferring it for another two years.

The resignation Of Judge Reed Of the west
orn district of Pennsylvania, has attracted
very general attention because il is "a marked
departure from the course usually pursued by
the incumbents of judicial positions under
| the Government
The saying of Mr.. Jefferson with respect 10
Office holders in general that few die and
none resign is more applicable in spite of its
exsggerstion TO United States Judges than TO
any other class, that is, before the limit of the
term of service allowed by the law is reached.
after the expiration Of which they can resign
anG still retain tho full amount Of their sala-
res. The resignation Of United States Judge
under certain age not only withdraws him
from very honorable and Influential Office.
but also depriyes him of the fixed emoluments
of the position.
1t may be taken for granted that few are
prepared to make such a sacrifice unless the
pecunisry inducements are very strong. This
seems to have been the case in the instance
of Judge Reed. lie has held the district
judgeship of Western Pennsylvania for o com
paratiyely short time, having abandoned a
very lucrative practice to accept it, being
tempted by the high personal consideration
which he would enjoy as the incumbent OF
the Office To this he seems 10 have become
accustomed very soon. while the pecuniary
loss has grown in importance. And now the
latter has led him to throw up the position
and return to the bar.
There can be little doubt that to a lawyer
in large practice the pecuniary rewards OF a
United States judgeship seem but small. in
dependently of the continuation of the salary
during life, which is of importance because it
insures steady income at the most unpro-
ductive period of the older lawyers profes-
sional life
Taking everything into consideration. the
salaries Of the United States judges are not
as large as they ought to be. How insienif-
cant they appear when compared with the
Judicial salaries in England or the salaries
paid Its judges by the Empire State Of New
York These salaries assure for judicial po-
sitions the greatest learning, the longest ex-
perience and the highest natural ability
which tho local bar can furnish. for they af-
AOiNf hicHIcSNiNo VI tuo IVuO4s DtCNuluTy
return which is ample compensation for the
practice abandoned
There is at present no prospect Of any in
crease in the salaries attached t. the United
States iudgships, because the men who can
be obtained TO fill these positions represent
very fairly the average ability of the bar and
give in consequence the required degree of
satisfaction. The salary -for-life feature of
these judgships causes them 30 be much
more favorsbiy considered. even by the lead
ers Of the bar than they would otherwise lie.

PURITAN CRANKS.

DR.. Chauncey NJ. Depew. who Is nothing ~
an after-dinnar speaker il not original, varied
the last dinner of tho New England Society
OF New York by describing the New England
Puritans as "cranks."
In the ordinary sense Of the word this has
been the opinion OF number OF people tor
many generations. and so acutsly has this
opinion been entertained by some that it has
led to the expression by distinguished
writer that i. would have been better for the
United States if Plymouth Rock had landed
on the Pilgrim Fathers instead OF the Pilgrim
Father on Plymouth Rock. There Is an ele-
ment Of dyspepsia in this saying that deprIves
it Of some Of its force. and its author when he
wrote it was probably Just recovering from
the effects of New England society dinner.
As soon as DR.. Depew had referred TO the
old Pur;tans as having been cranks he has
tened to explain what he meant Quoting DR..
CHARIOT, the most eminent authority on men
tai diseases now living, he declared that oil
unusual forms of intellectual activity and SUI
periority are simply indications Of insanity.
The man Of genius is a lunat.c. Shakespeare,
Milton, Yoltare. Napoleon, Frederick the
Great and Washington were all crazy. The
difference between them and the ordinary
run of mankind was the difference which lies
between the sane and the insane.
Or. Depew following DR.. Chariot, goes even
further than Alexander Pope, who asserted
that great wit and madness were very nearly Al
1-a1 4 4 al
Great wit and madness. in DR.. Depew's iudg
ment are not divided by any partitions at all.
They are essentially identical.
This is a very neat way Of paying the New
England Puritansa compliment, but the world
is not likely to accept the application to them
Of the word crank" in this honeyed sense.
II that description is applicable 10 them at all.
it is applicable in its ordinary meaning. Ii is
undeniable that the old New England Puri-
tans had many virtues. and that they
have made profound impression on
the history Of America, but their character
istics were not the characteristics of genius
They have not been "cranks" in this sense Of
the word
New England has produced many able men
and many distinguished men. but only two
men of genius. Hawthorne and Daniel Web
ster. These are her two solitary contribu-
tons to that mighty class of men whose
names. as one Of her SOILS has said were not
born to die. How fast she has receded in the
last thirty years is shown only too plainly in
her exaltation Of the memory Of John Brown,
whom DR.. Depew associates with Milton,
Cromwell and Hampden-one of the yilest
cut-throats who ever received his just deserts
at the common hangman's hands.

men Colonel A. b. Andrews. Mr.. Sol Haas

will bo given these gentlemen is not an
