UNDER the present law the supreme
court Of this state is composed Of five
judges who are elected for term of five
years. The above plan answered the pur-
pose very we'll for number Of years after
the statutory provision took effect, but at
the present time the term Of the judges is
entirely to short for reader Of Blackstone
to become versed in his duties. The po-
sition Of a lawyer and judge are entirely
different. The former looks up the points
for one side only, while the jurist is to sit
and pass judgment upon the merits of
the case. Our plan would be to increase
the number Of judges to seven, electing
one supreme Judge and six associates, and
make the term Of Office fourteen years.
No person should be eligible unless they
have reached the age of fifty years and ell
igible to one term only. Increasing the
length Of term will have tendency to
lit the bench out Of political influences
and in time create court of ability and
dignity which will be able to master the
situation and maintain the judiciary de-
partment Of the state government lnde-
pendent Of any other, as 1t was originally
designed.

Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, '92.-[Special. J.
The legislative cowardice of the Demo-
crats of the house was in striking contras
with the honest and manly courage of the
Republicans 10 the last congress. And the
gall displayed by the alleged Democratic
leaders, when they found that they had
lost control Of the majority of the Demo
cratic members Of the house, was wonder
ful, not TO say ludicrous. They actually
tried to get the Republicans of the house
10 promise to help them out OF their di.
lemma, a promise II is needless to say
they did not get. Early in the week it
was ascertained that the free silver men
had succeeded in obtaining the signatures
Of more than a majority Of the Democratic
members Of the house to petition asking
the committee on rules TO set a date for
the consideration of the Bland free coin.
age bill, already on the calendar. 1t was
plain that this petition could not be ig.
nored, so in order TO gain a little time
Speaker Crisp took day of, "by order OF
his physician" and Mr.. Catchings, one Of
the other Democratic members Of the cam.
mittee on rules was suddenly called to
Boston ION urgent private business" and
of course the remaining democratic men,
Der Of the committee on rules could moi
call meeting Of that committee. 1t was
al this time that Republicans were ap.
preached with q statement that II they
would promise TO vote with the anti-silver
Democrats against the Bland bill 1t could
be defeated by majority Of five or six,
evenIallowing that those Republicans who
we're committed in favor Of the bill
should vote for II. The Republican lead
ers are far too smart 10 tell the Democrats
in advance what they will do when the
silver bill comes up, but the chances are
that they will allow the Democrats to
fight 1t out among themselves.

A MASS meeting was held in Cleveland
last week to protest against the valuation
at which the property of the poorer classes
was assessed for taxation. 1t was claimed
at the meeting that the valuation placed
on the property belonging to the wealthy
classes is far below what 1t ought to be,
and the burden of taxation falls upon the
noorer classes.

Immunity for the Firefiies

Birds do not eat tirefies, and even
bats. which seem to eat everything else
thai they can chew or swallow, never
touch Il lightning bug. There must be
something distasteful in this insect to
the feathered world, and thus the spe-
cies is preserved, for if it were not SO
lightning bugs would soon become ex-
tinct, as the torch they carry would
only serve the purpose of attracting
their enemies.
1t may be that the uncanny appear
ance of the insect. giving forth as it
does a brilliant fash of light every mo-
ment or two, deters birds and bats from
attacking it. but if a lightning bug were
a toothsome mOrsel to a birds bill, any
number of the feathered world would
soon overcome their repugnance to the
little living torch and go hunting for
lightning bugs.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-

A CITY Marshal Abroad,

One of the city marshals who took a
vacation recently and went to France
found what a big man a marshal over
there is and how much a marshal's
badge amounts to. He started to go to
several places of public interest in Paris
at an hour when they were not open to
the public. AT the entrance he was
stopped and told that the places were
closed. He said that he was an Ameri-
can and had only a short time to stay in
Paris, and that if he could not get in
then it would be too late. That made
no difference until he happened to put
his hand in his trousers pocket for some
change with which to try to bride the
attendant. His coat was unbuttoned,
and his arm pulling back the lapel
showed his big city marshals badge in
blue, gold and gilt, with the word MAR
shall" on it big enough to be read ten
feet away. AS soon as the Frenchman
saw the word marshal he became obse-
~quious. The American marshal, as the
city marshal became known, was shown
around with IA great deal of considera-
ton, and the Frenchman declined to ac-
cept a fee. -New York Sun.

Crafty Master Fox.

A fox was one day seen coming out of
a pile of stones near the water side.
He hid in the heather for awhile and
then pushed out something on the water,
which proved to be a bunch of moss.
The wind took it into the middle of the
lake and blew it past some ducks sitting
on the surface.
Having watched his venture for per-
haps ten minutes with apparent salts
faction, and observed that it neared the
ducks without arousing their suspicious,
our friend began to collect another and
larger bunch of moss, which he allowed
to float in the same direction, but this
time he swan behind it, taking care to
show only his eyes and nose above
water.
Just as it was passing the group of
ducks he made a sudden dive, pulled
down a bird and swan back to shore
under water. Arrived there he carried
the duck to the pile of stones, where his
wife and daughter were nc doubt wait
ing to enjoy the fruits of his labOrs.-

..AIl's Well That Ends Well"

The Scotch, with unconscious absurd
ity, sometimes talk of tempting Prov
idence." In writing Calls Well That
Ends Well" Shakespeare was ''tempt-
ing" the higher criticism. Ever since
the days of Zenodotus in Alexandria the
higher criticism has reveled in ''athe-
tizing," or marking as spurious, this part
of al authors work because it is "un-
worthy of him." that part because it is
mot in his STYLE" a third portion be-
cause it is a repetition Of something he
has said elsewhere, and so on, till in
Homer there are few lines to which
some German or some Alexandrian
Greek has not urged objections. To
similar exercises of idle ingenuity has
Calls Well That Ends Well" been ex-
posed.
When Lucian met Homer in the For
tunate islands, he asked the poet which
of the rejected passages were really his
own. "All and every n of them"
answered the shade; and Shakespeare's
ghost might have made as inclusive a
response to critical inquiries. Yet Calls
Well is certainly a play full of difficult
ties and enigmas. 1t was first printed
in the folio of 1923, and very badly
printed it was. None of the dramas
contains SO many passages that appear to
be corrupt; none is so rich in the unin-
telligible; M so open to conjectural

Rainmaking Bombs.

A company engaged in the manufac-
ture of explosives in this city has for
sale now small bombs about the size of
frankfurter sausages, with which it is
said the farmer can bring down small
showers of rain whenever he sees clouds
over his land.
The constituents of one bomb are di-
vided into two parts, liquid and solid,
which are both separately nonexplosive.
These can be kept separate until the
time IN to use them, when they are
mixed.
The solid part is about an inch in di-
ameter and eight inches in length, and
is wrapped in cotton. These bombs are
placed in grooved tin boxes, each hold
ing ten. A small tin measure, contain
ing the liquid part, accompanies each
box. 1t is graduated to show the guam
tity needed to saturate the bomb to the
exploding point.
Five or fifty bombs may be used, ac-
cording to the amount of rain needed
or the defamation required. How the
farmer is to know how much defamation
is needed is a dubious matter. The
bombs are tied in a bundle, q time fuse
is attached and the whole lot discharged
from a mortar and at the passing cloud.
In billy countries clouds often pass
over the valleys and discharge their
contents on the barren mountain sides.
In such regions, it is said, the bombs
will be particularly useful.-New York

Begging newspapers seems to be one
of the occupations Of Gotham's small
boy, and according TO one of these
urchins a good revenue is derived from
the business. The practice is known as
Canada business" A gang Of eight or
ten boys besiege the entrance to the
bridge and elevated road every morning
and keep an argus eye IN all persons
carrying newspapers. They stretch out
their arms asking for the newspapers
and often pull them out of the hands of
passers by.
The 'newsies" are very persistent,
and occasionally get into little snarls
with dyspeptic persons who get down
town in bad humor. The temper of
these people might be intensified did
they know that, according TO a confes-
sion of one of the boys, a newsdealer of
a speculative turn of mind originally
put the boys up TO the practice they fol-
low. If the newspapers are too much
sOiled to sell, the boys turn them over
to the speculator, who holds them in re-
serve, paying the boys a pittance and
then realizing full value by handing
them over to the respective newspapers
as return and getting copies of the
current date for them.
The youngsters have learned his meth
cd though, and most of them do their
own returning" az well as begging"
now. The practice is bad every way, as
it is fast converting the little hustlers
