LUDGE HENDERSON.

The convention of the Sixth Judicial Dis.
trct on Wednesday last unanimously nom.
mated Judge James b. Henderson, as the
Democratic candidate for judge for the full
term Of fifteen years from the date of the
next general election. Judge Henderson
was appointed in February last, by Gov.
Brown, in the place of Hon. John #. Vim
son, who attained the age Limitation on the
sixth of January.
In this interval Judge Henderson has
demonstrated his capacity TO meet all the
requirements of the high position he oc
cupies, and the convention on last Wednes
day only registered in formal way the
wish of the people of the Judicial District.
II is a misfortune, perhaps, that the judi.
ciary should he in any manner dependent
upon party politics. The Office of judge is
80 high, so separated from the course of
politics, and deals so entirely with abstract
JUSTICE that men would like to fill the posi-
ton without regard to party affiliations, If
it were possible to do so. The conditions,
however, forbid it, but they nevertheless i'm
pose upon parties the duty of selecting men
fitted by character and ability to perform
the grave and dgnifed duties which de-
volve upon the judiciary.
Governor Brown has made an unusual
number of judicial appointments, all of
which have reflected great credit upon his
rare good judgment and his patriotic efforts
for the public good In none of them has
he shown nicer discrimination than In the
appointment of Judge Henderson, and it is
the subject of sincere congratulation that
the convention has ratified the appointment
In the warmest manner.
We believe the voters of the District will
with equal warmth ratify the action of the
convention. Judge Henderson merits it.
A career of five and twenty years at the
Bar, characterized by exceptional success
attests those lawyerlke qualities which con-
stitute the first requisite of an able and use.
full Judge, and the service of the past seven
months upon the Bench, has, as before stated,
proven the possession of ready knowledge,
impartialty and industry which round out
his qualifications for the position. When
the people come to think seriously of the
matter, as they must and will do before the
election, they will lay aside partisanship in
order to secure for the Bench of the District
the services of man so eminently qualified,
whose usefulness will increase with years,
and be an honor TO the communities in
which his service ia rendered

THE STATE TICKET.

1t goes without saying, that the SENTINEL
would have preferred different result from
the State Democratic Convention, but be-
fore Its assembling II was manifest that Mr.
Gormsns control Of that body would be
Supreme, aud the SENTINEL had, therefore,
no hope that the minority representation
would receive recognition. From the stand
point Of the managers the situation required
q firm grasp and q prompt contamination OF
plans which had been matured while rival
candidates were beating the bushes for
votes.
IL IL true, however, that the candidates
named are gentlemen of character. who
have Tor years been identified with the Dem.
ocrsiic party Of the State. and in the alb
sence Of proof of detection from the abiding
principles of the party, should receive the
support Of party men.
The generalities OF a political platform
afford but little ground Tor the discussion Of
political principles, especially as the nomn-
ee for Governor, Mr. John E Hurst, has
announced his intention of embodying in
his letter of acceptance his views upon the
specific questions which will engage the at
tention Of the next administration of State
affairs. 1t is therefore best to reserve ex
tended comment until this authoritative
declaration is made, by which time the Re
publican position will also be known and
the discussion can be conducted with point
and intelligence.
In the meantime. Democrats, whatever
may be their personal dsappointments
should reflect that II is serious thing 10
break party ties without ample justification,
and that the future affords opportunities to
fight out within the party lines the cause
which the Democratic party must settle for
itself

1T WOULD BE ANOTHER TAX TO
BE PAID By CONSUMERS.


BE PAID BY CONSUMERS.
The representatives of American shipping
interests who have been comforting with the
Changers are entirely logical in their con-
tention that If this country is going to main
tain policy that hampers commerce and
that taxes agriculture for the benefit of the
manufacturers, it ought to provide some
compromising protection to farmers and
shippers. To this end bounty on agricul
tural exports is suggested.
or course no such plan will ever be adopt
ed, but the proposition illustrates very well
the outcome of the high tariff theory. AS
soon as we begin protecting one class we
must go on and protect the others in an
endless progression. BY way Of protecting
American ship.builders We have taxed
American shipping off the sea, and the only
remedy that appears consistent with the sys
tenn is to pay back u portion of the taxes In
bounties. And yet much simpler and
quite as obvious a remedy would be to take
of or reduce the taxes and give American
commerce fair chance in the worlds com
petition.
The idea Of an export bounty on agricul
tuFal products is the extreme development
Of the paterna theory Of protection. 1t is
simply tax on food, since the domestic
price Of bresdstuffs is determined by the
price al which the surplus can be exported,
and To this price the bounty would he add.
"a 10 to
by a single bushel, and consequently it
would be of no benefit to the shipping In
terest Agricultural production In this coun
try does not need any stimulus. The truth
is simply that the farmers Of the United
Sta,es are no longer the great feeders Of the
world Other countries have developed in
competing capacity, and there is not the
same demand for our grain and meat that
there was few years ago. We still have
grain and meat to export, and IL We can
supply them as cheaply as they can be sup
piled from Russia or from South America,
they will be exported to fiji the demand, and
not otherwise. To pay 3 bounty on what
Is so exported would not increase our trade,
1t would be simply another tax to be paid
by consumers at home.
II is quite natural that American farmers
should have grown tired of being taxed for
the benefit of Others without benefit to them
selves. The wonder is that they did not
grow tired of is sooner But the country
has been learning the iallacy Of this system,
and since its essential modification there are
Indications Of better times ahead. We shall
never revert to the theory of bounties. And
American ship-owuers and ship. builders
ought to recognize that the deliberate policy
Of this country for years was TO discourage
foreign commerce, which some high protec-
