TIE Raymond Gazette, in repub.
fishing a recent edit orial from the

to the sympathy racket" worked

this to say:
"ln its demand for a more rigid
enforcement of the law, and for
just and speedy punishment when.
ever it has been violated and
blood been split, the Gazette well
comes as allies the DEMOCRAT

truly in saying the criminal class
never divides. In solid phalanx
they come to the rescue of every
man charged with murder, and
while they rarely undertake to ov
crave judge and jury, they never.
theless exercise constant and eff.
fective influence over the masses
and finally make acquittal an easy
matter. When an individual
murders another in a brutal and
cowarily manner, he deserves no
sympathy, and IN the desire or ef-
fort to punish him for his crime,
his family, however deserving.
ought to be lost sight of entirely.
This may be hard to do-and yet
the judge who is not able to steel
his heart against outside influences
is not fit to occupy the bench. The
people ought not to expect a great.
er degree of honesty in the Judge
than they themselves possess. The
people ought not to expect the
court to be just when they are un.
just, and when they are influenced
in favor of the criminal by the
pleadings of those who are unfor.

TEE GOLD RESERVE.

following hopeful view OF the q
nancial question
The gold reserve in the treasury
is below 500, 600, 1000, and the drain
continues. But there is in this
fact no occasion for alarm, and the
secretary manlfestly fees none.
The banks hold more than $780,,
600 1000 and have no reason what.
ever for continuing to hold it. Leg
al tenders answer every purpose
that golG can in their hands. Many
banks have already turned gold
into the treasury, and those of
New York, which have as We,
done uothing,are reported to stand
ready with $20,OO0,OOO subject to
the secretary's call.
There are short crops in Europe
and large ones here. Grain will
begin moving in August in large
volumes. Drafts against bills of
ladlng will turn the tide of gold
shipments this way within sixty
or ninety days almost certainly.
Finally, should the change be
longer postponed than there is
reason to expect, we have the re.
source of a bond issue, with the
matchless credit of the country be-.
hind it. We shall get gold when
we need it. But it is not the poll.
cy Of the administration to resort
to a bond issue unit! the necessity
for it is apparent.
