Would that they had been all. bus they

the part OF free men is beyond my COM
prehension, and il does seen to me that
men whose ideas are so devoid OF what
is duty to themselves. the neighborhood,
and their country. should be deprived for
ever again of ever exercising the right
franchise.
AT Town Hall the case was much
worse, as drunkenness and beastality
were added 10 the shameless bargain
and sale Of votes. II seems at this pre-
clnct that votes went from a drink OF
whisky up to 1--WE dollars In money, and

ment to take the appointment of trus-
tees from the Governor that these two
superintendent, or any others who were
efficient and were not guilty of what
Mr.. Cleveland has called offensive par
tisanship," would be retained. The Jour
nal does not believe that the Governor
has been guilty of the performance
which his fool friends have proclaimed.
If he has he has reversed the order of
things by making the superintendent
the dictators of the trustees. who will
be but the tools of the officials who
should be appointed by them. The
Journal knows nothing OF these trus-
tees, but If any Of them have accepted
office with the understanding that they
shall not remove superintendent they
are unfit for the position. A trustee
should be a man of character and posi-
tive abilities, and a man who would ac-
cept position under such conditions
as the Governors friends have stated
to the newspapers can be neithe~. So
far as the Institution for the Blind. is
concerned, it is a current report that a
subordinate in that institution who is
relative of an official very close to
the Governor insists upon running the
institution and who, it is asserted, was
instrumental in securing the retirement
of a trustee who insisted that supplies
should be bought at the lowest market
price. If it shall turn out that two
men calling themselves Republicans
have been selected for the blind insti-
tuition who have agreed to retain a
superintendent who will retain a
subordinate who practically runs the in
stitution and practices favoritism in the
purchase Of supplies the public will
learn all about it, That public will hold
Governor Matthews responsible for that
which amounts to the practical over
riding of law which was designed by
the Legislature to break UP partisan
ship which has controlled some of the
States institutions for the advantage of
favorites and the disadvantage of the
State.

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN COURTS.

The average Englishman and editor
are so thoroughly convinced of the SUI
periority of all things English that it is
a surprise to find one drawing a COM
parison between English and American
institutions favorable to the latter. The
London Globe does this in its comments
on the decision of the Supreme Court
on the income tax law. Every man in
this country" says the Globe, will re-
greet that there is no supreme court of
the American variety here. Never in all
the long history of the English bench
have they scared to the heights of lib
erty reached by the American judges
yesterday. 1t Is quite impossible to es-
tablish such tribunal here" The re-
mark emphasizes some points of differ
ence between the two governments.
Under our written Constitution the pow
ers of government are more exactly dis
tributed and the power of the courts to
pass on the constitutionality of laws is
much more clearly defined than is the
case in England. Parliament comes
very near being law unto itself, and
while there Is limit beyond which it
cannot go. the limit is very indefinite
and the courts are not authorized to
draw the line. The only way to get rid
of an unconstitutional act in England Is
for the people to turn out the House of
Commons that passed it and elect one
that will repeal it. That is ali effective
way, but we have that remedy and the
judicial remedy besides. The present
case shows that the latter can be
brought to bear very speedily. for the
unconstitutional features of the income
tax law have been eliminated by the
Supreme Court within little more than
month after the adjournment of the
Congress that passed it.
The British constitution presents the
singular anomaly of one branch of the
lawmaking power being also clothed
with judicial powers. The House of
Lords is the highest court of judicature
and has the final determination of APP
peals from all courts in the realm.
Under this system it is difficult to see
how an act of Parliament could be
reached by the courts, as any judicial
decision could be oyerruled by the lords.
No English court would dare to lay
down the law to Parliament as our SUI
preme Court does to Congress, and the
beauty of our system is that Congress
fully recognizes the right OF the court

A MIscHIEyoUs IMPRESSION.

There is no ground for the statement
of the Boston Globe that the West is
arrayed against the East There is no
antagonism in the interests of the two.
The Eastern States are the best mar
ket in all the world for the farm
products of the West, and the West is
the best market for the manufactured
products of the East. Further, when
the great West is prosperous the East
has good business. and it cannot have
without such favorable conditions in the
West. So far as money is concerned,
the East, through its savings banks and
life insurance companies. may lend
money in the West on mortgages, but
the amount is small compared with the
amount which the people of the West
lend their neghbors through the banks,
loan associations and on private ac-
count. For instance, the national bank
statement shows that Indiana banks are
lending $33 1000, 900 of the deposits of the
people of Indiana having small amounts
of money, and that Indiana business
men are borrowing that money through
the banks. The building and loan as
sociations of Indiana, representing thou
sands of shareholders. have as much
more loaned to their neighbors, who
have invested it. in homes and other
forms of real property. AS for life in
surance, it is fair to assume, from the
large number of policies held in Indiana,
issued by companies in the East, that
they represent ten and perhaps twenty
times as much money as those COM
panies have loaned upon Indiana mort
cages
Neither is it true that the homes and
farms of the West are more heavily
mortgaged than those of the East, since,
as a matter of fact, the special report
of the census on that subject shows that
more homes and real estate are under
mortgage in the East than in the older
States of the West, or in such pros
porous States as Iowa and Minnesota.
Therefore, whatever financial or other
legislation affecting the general bust
ness interests of the country is for the
benefit of one secti.n must be beneficial
to the greatest portion of it. A wheat
crop selling for no profit may make
cheap bread in the East, but if the
farmers of the West cannot sell their
wheat at profit they cannot buy the
, boots, shoes, cotton and wooden goods
of the East. What is cheap bread if
the Eastern workman cannot get the
wages with which to purchase? What
avails cheap clothing if there is no profit
in a wheat crop?
1t is time to get rid of this false and
harmful heresy that one section of the
country can prosper only at the expense
! of another portion.
