IS .TJLCTICE BLIND?

At all times it is hard, but espe-
cially so is it during great cause for
excitement, to discriminate logically
and clearly. Men are so much ike
children, SO prone to be carried away
by first impressions, so likely to yield
to sentiment rather than reason. 1T
is a s hw that the first impulse is the
best, but not so with the quickest
judgment. Other than the insult to
law, the greatest argument against
Judge Lynch is his rash and hasty
Judgment. 1t is now popular and for
most part merited to rail against the
laws delays, mistrials and the mis-
carriages of justice, yet while all
this is true and no journal
has more unsparingly held up
such to ridicule for corrections sake,
yet it is not well ogo so far as to lean
to the side of lynch law rule, or I'M
tried justice-so frequently injustice.
These thoughts are given point at
this time by the effect of the ghastly
occurrence of Tuesday, when an I'M
armed and unsuspicious man was
without good cause shot down in cold
blood. The unthoughted were yester-
day heard to apply to the slayer the
strict rules of Mosaic law, "an eye for

The pension reform must come, and
the worthy and deserving recipients,
whether widows, orphans or veterans,
must be maintained on the rolls and the
Sneaks and fraudulent pensioners must
he exposed and dismissed. 1t is gi-
gantic robbery practiced for undeserv-
ing claimants by horde of unscrupu-
lous pension sharks.-Utic Observer.
A drastic revision of the pension list
will not hurt single deserving pen
sioner. Quite the reverse. 1t will give
to veterans who fought and suffered
their fullest dues under the law, so far
as money can reward patriotism and
valor. Every brave soldier owes it to
himself as well as to his country to
heartily join in the demand that the
rolls be purged. Patriot.
But if the people wish to spend from
S15o.000.009 to S200,000,000 or more a
year for pensions they should at least
levy the taxes so that the rich and not
the poor will bear the burden. In a
wealthy country like ours the rich
might be made to pay nearly all the
taxes and the poor only small portion.

SECRETARY or THE TREAS
TKV

1t has been stated in the public prints
that the Illinois Democratic delegation
in congress, including Senator PALMER,
will present, and strongly urge upon the
president, the name of Col. WILLIAM
r. MORRISON for secretary OF the treas
ury. This unanimous petition OF the
congressional delegation will be sup
plemented by all of the prominent and
active Democrats in the state of Illinois,
asking this appointment on the two
grounds, first, that it is one eminently
fit to be made, and second, us fitting
recognition of the return of that great
state to the Democratic faith.
The preSidcnt-elect is not going to
have as easy row to hoe as some peo-
pie think for. 1t will be easy for him to
blunder because of the powerful con-
flicting interests which will constantly
confront him. We know Of no man in

He was chairman Of the public lands

governments relations to the Pacific
railroads. He was three times chair
man of the ways and means. He took
a prominent part III our financial legis-

views thereon. These things ought to

ECONOMIES FALL OUT.
The Society Likely to Get Into the
Courts.

PITTsBURG. Dec. 28.-The dissension
in the Economic society. growing out
OF the dictatorship of Trustee John
Duss. is likely to assume legal phase
within a few days. When that time
comes several members of the sOcietyWill
go into court and pray the appointment
of a receiver not to wind up the affairs
of the corporation. but to carry OIL its
business, audit its accounts and make
report to the members. At the same
time the receiver is asked for an appli-
cation will be made for the dissolution
of the document filed last
week in the Beaver county courts, and
in which Trustee DusS. in view OF the
death of Father Henrici, is vested with
the full power to conduct the financial
and commercial affairs of the
society, and to borrow or loan
money OIL mortgages at will.
The grounds for the dissolution Of the
articles of agreement will be based on
words, it is claimed that Fa-
ther Henrici, Elizabeth Beck and
several other persons whose sig
natures are attached to the instrn-
menU did not know the nature of the
paper they were putting their names to.
The action of the trustees III ratifying
the course of Trustee Duss, creating
the offices of president and vice preSi-
dent for him, and installing him in the
supreme dictatorship, and his friend,
Samuel Seiber. as his chief lieutenant,
has opened up the old sores.

i'll day or two with Hon. Lon Merritt,
of Duluth. Mr.. Kendall may remain i'm

session. In reference to matters af-
fecting Duluth MIR KendeIl says: "Du-
luth Republicans are interested in the
candidacy Of S. A. Phillips for chief
clerk of the house above and beyond
anything else. 1t would be very
agreeable TO the rank and file of the
Republican party of Duluth, and, in
fact, of the northern part of the state,
to have Mr. Phillips placed in that
Office. L have known Mr.. Phillips for
good many years. and L have no heSl-
fancy i'll saying that if he is elected he
will make the best chief clerk the house
has ever had. He is a young man of
great ability, quick, active, energetic
and accurate, and would handle the
business of the house in such manner
as it has never been attended
to before. Duluth Republicans have
always been 0vermOdest, and are also
too busy in building up their city to de-
vote much time to politics, and that is
one of the main reasons why Duluth
has been ignored pollticallyin the state.
From this time on. however. we think
we are entitled to hearing, and ought
to have Il voice in affairs in addition to
our small representation i'll the legisla-
ture,"

WHERE ISTHE UMBRIA?
She Is Now Five Days Overdue
and Great Fears Are Felt for
Her Safety.
Some Accident Has Undoubtedly
Overtaken the Staunch
Cunarder.

New YORK, Dec. 2S.-Conjecture as
to what has happened to the long over
due Cunarder Umbria is all that can be
iudulged in. That she has met with an
accident is evident, but the nature, ex-
tent and seriousness of that will not be
known until she is spoken by some ship
which will bring the news to port, or
when she arrives on this or the other
side Of the Atlantic. AT midnight
tonight the lJmbria was FIVE days
overdue, not word having been heard
from her since she was sighted over
Fastnet light, outward bound, eleven
days ago. Two of the most serious acci
dents that could befall the Umbria
would be the running down OF the
many derelicts now drifting aimlesslyin
the storm or cOllidlng with another
vessel. She carries an emergency sup
ply OF coal. which will keep her furnaces
going for eighteen days.
There are number of steamships
overdue from two to five days at this
port, all of which travel over the route
taken by the Umbria. They are the
Rlalto, from Hull, Dec. IL, four days
late; Richmond Hill, London, Dec. Is,
two days late; Runic, Liverpool, Dec.
II, two days late, and the Lepanto,
Antwerp, Dec. Z, five days late. Bound
east and two days overdue at Trinidad
is the twin screw steamer Mohawk. She
may have fallen in with the Cunarder.
Every one of the ocean liners arriving
in port today brought further tidingS
concerning the furious hurricanes
which have swept over the Atlantic
during the past few days. The Por-
tuguese steamer Vega reached her dock
i'll Brooklyn with her deck house de-
mOlished and with part of her officers
suffering from broken limbs. The Ems,
from Genoa. which reached quarantine
last night, had an equally rough eX-
perience,
The Hamburg American liner Mo
ravia, Capt. Winckler, which arrived to-
night, reports: dec. q, 10 a. M, lat
ituue 40, longitude 1866. about three
miles distant, sighted three-masted
and two fuDneled steamer (be-
yond doubt the Cunard liner
Umbria, now five days overdue
at this port bound west, going at
her usual speed and directly in the Liv
erpOol track. The weather was fine at
the time, but soon after became bolster
ous." IJ was the opinion of the officers
that the steamer was undoubtedly the
Umbria. The Moravia left Hamburg
Dec. II, and experienced no rough
weather from about Dec. % until she
reached this port.

RIITNT MIR. CLEVELAND.

Mr.. CLEVELAND continues to be a
surprise to the politicians who nave
learned their trade in the school which
has flourished since the war. He
neither believes that language was
made to conceal thought nor that
thought was made to be concealed. He
does not 90 roundabout TO reach MS
object. but cuts across field by the
directest path. He neither softenS nor
avoids saying what he thinks should be
said for fear of offending, and he has
not yet been accused OF stopping
before speaking to weigh the effects OF
what he said upon his political
chances. Mrs. GRANT said once upon
a time that "Mr. GRANT is very Stub
born man." Mrs. CLEVELAND might
say with equal accuracy that Mr..
CLEVELAND is very blunt, plain
spoken man.
EDWARD MURPHY, who is much bet
ter than his associations, is an aSplrant
for the senatorial succession i'll New

ZatiOn." Senator HILL wishes him for
his colleague He is influential with
the "machne.' In the ordinary sense
or good politics, he is a good man to
have on your side. He will probably be
elected. Possibly he may not he now.
There was no reason which the regular
politician would recognize as''practical
why Mr.. CLEVELAND should oppose Mr..
MUFPHY'S ambition. He would regard
the reasons Mr.. CLEVELAND does give
as visionary,
Mr.. CLEVELAND opposes Mr.. MURPHY
and the "organization" behind him. He
bluntly says that Mr.. MURPHY does not
have the qualifications needed for such
a place. He has that old-faShioned no.
ton, bred in the days of SILAS WRIGHT
and HoRATIo SEY MoUR, that senator
should be statesman instead OF man
capable Of handling the levers OF the
machine. He Overloohs the individual,
and sees only the good of the country
and the party. He feels that it is ap-
preaching its hour of trial, the SeyereSt
it ever met, aud he knows that now,
more than ever, the party and the coun-
try need in the senate men entitled 70
wear the grand appellation OF states
men. The great economic policies for
which the party stands, and to execute
which it has been commissioned by a
phenomenal majority of the voters, must
be put into the shape of practical legiS-
latlon, and only statesman can do that.
They must be defended in debate, and
it wants its brains to do that. 1t wants
big men, proportioned to the bigness of
the Job it has undertaken. In Mr..
CLEVELAND'S opinion Mr.. MURPHY is
not built that way. He says so in un-
vanished phrase.
The GLOBE commends his words to
the Democrats who will meet next
month in Wisconsin to elect senator.
1t trusts that they will select "a senator
who cannot only defend the principles
of our party, but who can originate and
promote policies that may be presented
to the senate for consideration" and it
believes they will send Gen. EDWARD
S, BRAGG to be the colleague of Sena-
tor Villas if they apply to all the candi-
dates the test Mr.. CLEVELAND gives
without fear, favor or partiality."
