long term Of of1ce has proved best adapted
to secure a judiciary Of Independence and
high character under the elective system.
but we do not find any convincing evidence
that an appointed judiciary would be better
than an elective judiciary Is In those States
where the term OF Office is long and the COM
pensaton liberal. The observations OF Mr..
JAMES BRYCE on this subject. in his we'll
known work on the American Common
wealths. are worthy OF note. Naturally his
inclinations led him to favor the system OF
appointment. but he declares that in most
OF the twenty-four States where he found
the elective system established. the bench
was respectable. and In some. he declares.

Appeals at Albany retained the respect OF

so much either to weakness or to Partially
on a Judges part as to the tenderness OF
juries and the inordinate delays and COM
plexity OF criminal procedure"
AS to the excess OF legislation. Mr. FIELD
finds no prospect OF any remedy except In
restraining the range OF legislative power
and in the exercise Of self-restraint by leg
islators. There Is no doubt that in many
States. and notably IN New York. the peo-
pie suffer from q plethora OF needless
statutes. The law is constantly changed
without sufficient reason. We are not in
favor. however. Of restricting the power to
make laws by adopting any further consti-
tutional prohibitions. so far at al events
as New York is concerned; but we concur
heartily with Mr.. FIELDS idea that in these
days member OF the Legislature who pre-
vents proposed enactment is as rule
entitled to more commentator than the
member who puts through new act.

The Right to Work.

The police have lately performed their
proper duty in protecting workingmen in
their right to labor, and in dispensing those
violently interfering with it's exercise.
Certain longshoremen threw up their
Jobs because their employers had reduced
their pay. That they had n right to do.
Every man is free to fix his own price for
his labor. and to refuse to take less. A man
can charge what he pleases for his own;
but so. too. no man can be forced to pay
more for what he buys than it can be pur-
chased for in the market. II one grocer
charges him more for his -four than another
he is at liberty to buy IL from that other.
That is right with which there can be
no interference without war against the
very principles upon which the foundations
OF social order rest. Those who assail it
are Anarchists, the enemies OF society in
general and of every man in particular
The striking 'longshoremen have no more
right to fix their price than have the men
who took their places to fix the wages at
which they will work. and no more right
than the shipping companies have to de-
termine the price at which they will hire.
The field is free. and every man has right
to the protection Of society in it.
Naturally enough at this time there are
multtudes OF men eager to take hold OF
any job that offers. and as they much
need employment they will accept very
moderate pay. When a merchant is over
stocked and he needs money. he must sell
for what he can get. When workingmen
cannot get work without taking less wages
than they have been accustomed to receive.
they must take the less pay or be idle.
A time when men are struggling to get
work is not time to throw up jobs.

There Is doubt that the Scotch Establish
ment is doomed The argument that the

against other denominations, is unreasonable.

1t can hardly be expected that Mr. GLAD
STONE will live to carry through Parliament a
bill for Presbyterian disestablishment; but IL
the Liberal party retains its hold upon lower
for a few years longer. such n bill will very
surely become law.

We cannot doubt that Chicago's preju-
dice against New York will melt away to-mor-
row when Mayor GtLRoY appears at the Expo
sition. The Mayor OF New York will surely
receive welcome in Chicago. The Mayor OF
the first city In the country, and the Mayor OF
the first second-csss city. both OF whom are
Democrats. will certainly be attracted toward
each other; and their friendiness must have
an influence in softening the prejudices Of
Chicago
We cannot believe that Chicago really hates
New York. 1t could not truly hate a city that
has loaned II hundreds OF millions Of dollars,
that has encouraged its growth given it many
a lift, and put up with its impertinence. II the
abuse OF New York that is printed in some OF
the Chicago papers were an indication OF the
real sentiment OF Chicago. we should be COM
PEELED to say that 1t is the most ungrateful
city In creation. Mayor CARTER HARRISON is
the man to speak truly for Chicago in tho
presence OF Mayor GILRoY of New York.

ian organization which represents a great
deal of protected capital and very little dis

To these excited manufacturers the SHER-
MAN law looks like a mere speck and the
repeal OF the MCKINLEY law looks bigger
than the Capitol. They will not find that
the majority OF business men agree with
them. But grant that they are right. Grant
that the expectation OF the repeal of the
MoKNLKY tariff and OF the enactment Of a
constitutional tariff law is the main and
sven the sole cause of the present paral ysis
of business. Are the American people to
vanians whimpering over the prospective
loss Of the great profits put into their
hands by the Government, at the ex-
ipense OF the majority. and by the yio-
jlAtion OF the Constitution The people
know what they want. They want
protection overthrow. or they would
not have voted to overthrow it. II they
are willing to endure the inconvenience of
the change in the conviction OF the ultimate
benefit to be derived from it. they certainly
will not be moved. except to laughter, by
the whining Of representatives of the very
class which they believe has been robbiug
them by means Of the protective system.
On the contrary. the more the protected
cry out. the irmer will be the purpose of
the people to destroy the system which
makes its benehciaries believe that they
have right to special favors at the expense
OF the community.
Such utterances as these Of the Manufac-
turers' Club are to be regretted and con-
demned. They have the air OF an imper-
tinence. They assume that the people of
this country voted for the tremendous in
dustrial change involving a complete re-
versal Of the American economic policy,
not soberly. deliberately. and intelligently,
but like tickle and thoughtless children.

pleased to learn that two OF tho most eminent
rabbls in the country. Dr. Wise Of Cincinnati
and DR. GoTTHEIL OF this city. have been
elected to tho offices Of President and Vice
President OF the Rabbinical Conference. 1t is
true that. in the view OF the Chief Rabbi OF the
East side. both OF these rabbis are regarded as
unorthodox. and even as champions OF the
Sadducean school of criticism: but the Chief
will not deny that they are scholars, philoso-
piers, and orators. Though both OF them are
aged Hebrews. they yet possess the spirit Of
power. and. as the officers OF the Rabbinical
Conference. they will build high and strong
the breastworks OF Reformed Judaism

debate on the obligation OF party Platforms:

debate on the obligation OF party platforms:
"one Of our contemporaries is grAvey discussing
the question as to whether 1t moral in political par
tsans TO disregard tho platforms o: their party. Well
HORACE GREELEY was accounted a moral man. and he
on memorable occasion said he spit upon the pat
form OF the party to which he belonged Congressman
JosErn WALkER of this State has good alton
for morality and he has stated that he spurned plank
in the ma ional Republican platform of 1888 In much
the same way"
Mr. GREELEY spit upon the platform Of his
party Just as soon as 1t was made publ and.
If We are not mistaken. so did Mr.. WALKER. II
they had waited to make their protest till after
the election. laboring all the time for the sue
cess of the candidates. they would have been
bound by the platform Just as much as II 1t had
set forth nothing but their own original ideas
and convictions. No man can decently repu-
diate platform after the election, which he
has pretended avowedly or tacitly. to support
during the canvass.

press the whole morality Of the subject

We printed the other day an interview
one OF our reporters had with Mr.. JAMES CUR
RE. member OF the Council OF the Governor
Of the colony OF British Honduras. 1t was a
striking comparison which Mr.. CURRIE made
between the condition OF things In that colony
and in the other countries Of Central Am erica.
There Is perpetual peace in British Honduras:
there is very nearly perpetual war in all the
independent republics that border upon it or
lie near 1t. There must have been hundred
revolutions in these republics within the past
half century: there has not been q revolution
in British Honduras for a hundred years. or
since it was seized by the British. Tho same
kinds OF people. or negroes. half bloods. and
aborigines. inhabit both the colony and the
republics: but those In the colony follow the
ways of orderly industry. while those in the
republics do not. Take notice that the British
colony Ia ruled by civilians. while the repub-
lies are ruled by soldiers. nearly all OF whom
turn out to be military dictators.
We do not say that the Central American re-
publics are unfit for sef-government: but
most certainly it has been proved by long ex-
perience that military swashbucklers are unfit
to govern them. All their Generals and Coll
onels. their cavalry. artillery. and infantry.
ought, for the sake OF peace to be kicked out.

The elephant although very large
animal, is not a good fighter. A lion
can jump upon his back and tear off his
big, loose hide in way which will
make the elephant roar with agony,
and the tiger and the panther can do
the same to him. Even the kangaroo,
whose front legs are mere paws, has the
advantage of the elephant, for it can
jump underneath him and scratch Wig
orously with its two powerful hind
legs, while its forepaws dig deeply into
his sensitive trunk. So the elephant in
warfare has to resort to strategy. One
of his tricks is to stand very still until
the lion or the tiger, as the case may
be, has jumped upon his back. and then,
before there has been time to do much
damage, Mr.. Ele. liant lies down and
rolls over, crushing his enemy.
There is a pretty story told by an At
rican explorer of how an elephant kill
ed a whole family of lions by backing
with them, one by one, into deep wa
ter, until they were so far in the stream
that they could not swim to the shore.
The elephant, who was cunning fell
low, would dip very low into the water,
and the lions would have to give up
their grip upon his back. Elephants
are very intelligent fellows, and good
hearted, too, if not provoked.

Can Animals Blusho

1t is hard to tell whether animals
blush, for their faces are covered so
thickly with fur or hair or feathers
that we do not know what may be 60
ing ON beneath hide or skin. Were they
as barefaced as man is. it is more than
likely we should see them blush, espe
cialIy the more bashful sort and those
with some sense of shame.
1t is the case that the faces of vul-
lures flush, and several of the monkeys
become purple with rage, which may
be considered as kind of blushing
This may be proved any day in any
zoo, where the monkeys seem to fly into
a passion on the smallest provocation. -
