Mr.. Shermun'n Views.

As Mr. Sherman has announced that
he will not consent to allow his name
TO be used In the Republican National
Convention OF 1895 as that OF an aspi-
rant TO the presidency, we may now look
upon him as q retired statesman" He
has already told the public what he
thinks of the avowed aspirants. Mr..
Sherman thinks Governor Mckinley the
best Republican candidate for President,
and In this opinion we are very much
inclined 10 concur with him. Mr. Sher-
man owes that gentleman a debt Of
gratitude which he ought now TO pay.
Mr.. McKinley's tariff bill Is In his way.
Mr.. Sherman speaks well also of Senator
Allison and OF ex-Speaker Reed.
Mr.. Sherman has said. as we have here
tofore stated. that no man 10 years old
is equal TO the duties of the office OF
President Of the United States. He adds,
what everybody ought TO be willing TO
repeat, that 1t is laundering concep-
ton of the Presidents duties that con-
dennis him to be a sort Of superior APP
pointment clerk for every department.
and a mere final reviser of the work Of
every subordinate. He is not fit for his
place IL that Is the best he can do" Mr.
Carlisle, for instance. Is a statesman Of
the highest order and ought not always
to be expected to subordinate his opin-
ions to those Of the President. Here Is
tho nlaca for n Cabinet officer TO come In
We know how difficult it would be to
get q Cabinet whose members would
agree upon every subject. Nobody need ex-
pect this. Let full and free Cabinet confe-
rences be frequently held whenever there
is an important matter to be passed upon.
and then let the Presidents views govern

render 1t proper to follow different

for the money actually invested by them
In the business. Accordingly this bank
was excepted from the double-iiability
clause Of the general banking law or
Canada, and from several other provis-
Ions which were In conflict with the origi-
nal charter. The New York Evening
Post says that the provisions OF the
general law regarding circulating notes
are, however, applicable to the issues OF
the Banque du Peuple. These are that
the noteholders have the first lien on all
the assets, including the liability of the
principal partners, and that the notes
shall bear per cent. interest from the
date OF insolvency to the date OF payment.
and that they shall be paid out OF the
Bank Circulation Redemption Fund,
which is accumulated by tax on ali bank
circulation In the Dominion. this fund
TO be reimbursed out OF the assets OF the
failed bank before any other debts are
paid. Another provision OF the Canadian
law is that when a bank falls the share
holders must pay UP their double Ia
bility at once. and walt for the realiza-
ton OF assets, instead Of compelling the
creditors TO walt. AS the Canadian Bank

which sat at Hampton in the trial OF
Hams, charged with the murder Of,
In our own State, are instances OF wide
spread and deep-seated dissatisfaction
with jury trial. Everybody knows that
II IL the uncertainty Of the jury's doing
its duty that provokes people TO go into
the courts Of lynch law. They see a
horrible crime perpeirated. All they want
is vengeance; that the perpetrator for
doing it shall suffer punishment; they
fear IL the law is to take its course
he may go acquitted. and they consider the
crime which he has committed too black
TO admit Of the possibility OF his es-
Gaping, and hence they resort to what
they call taking the law in their own
hands. administering II themselves.
The presence Of troops at this very time
in one OF the most quiet and orderly
OF the counties OF the State attests that
the people have no faith in the courts.

Il not an instance of that unmentionable
crime for the punishment of which lynch
law has many apologists. Is 1t too much
TO say IL a military escort had not gone
with Solomon Marable to Lunenburg
that there would have been a lynching I?
Nor was 1t the crime unmentionable for
which there was lynching at Roanoke
in September. 1893. The country has its
laws and its law officers. but the people
don't trust them. They afford TO the
people no guarantee that the offender will
be punished.

In the British elections the gains OF the
Cnionlsts and Conservatives on the popu-

their gain In seats. In fact, the result
amounts to a revolution. The calculation
now Is that the Tory majority in the
next House Of Commons will be the
largest in many years. While the Liberals
are making the fight on several issues,
their overwhelming discontinue seems to
be due as much to general disgust with
their parliamentary record as to antago-
