Populist Nominee For Tho Presidency
lhere is prospect of lively tussle for
the PopuIist nomination for the presi.
dency. The entries thus far are the
sockless Simpson, the whiskered PETER
and the long-distanco talkcr, Allen.
Jerry Simpson should be the iayOritO
in such a race as this. He is decidedly
picturesque, and we have mover had a
President who didn't wear socks. The
novelty of the simpsonian campaign
would be catching. Think OF whole
regiments OF sockless shOuters march
ing on the banner of the Pops.

Judge Emery's Decision in Divorce Case

At the last term of the Somerset Su
preme Court, Justice Emery heard d.
vorce case, and his decision was reserved.
He has just rendered his verdict" which
is interesting as being the first of the
kind ever recorded in Maine. The Judge
says:
ITO correctly decide the above case l
should be able to put myself In the place
of the parties. This l find it most diff
cult to do. My whole life has been so
different from theirs-my present position
and rode of living are so distant from
theirs, that l cannot appreciate how mat
tiers Of the kind described in the testimony
would appear to them.
THE ill-consequences of a misjude-
ment would be fearful. There is another
tribunal much better able than I, to de-
termine the matter. A jury Of twelve
plain men from the different towns in
Somerset county, conversant with the
node of life, and the manners of parties
ike these, can much better determine the
facts. The jurors could consult one an
her, | have no one to consult. l feel
SIRE that a correct result is more likely
t. be reached by jury than by single
justice.
Hence, l decline to pronounce any
Judgment, and recommend that the mat
ter be submitted to . jury. unless the
parties can become reconciled.
