capacity attempts TO monkey with il.
Judge Willard.

In saluting northeastern Pennsylva-
MAS representative upon the bench of
the newly-created Superior court, The
Tribune feels that it ought also to
congratulate. first Governor Hastings
and through him the people Of the
state, upon the excellence of the ap-
pointment. 1t is not alone in geogra-
phical recognition that this selection Is
strong. nor yet In the pleasure which
the selection will afford to various
county bar associations, individual jur-
lists and statesmen and personal friends;
its chiefest strength will. We believe. be
found in the large fund of ready COM
mon sense and practical business sa-
gaclty as we'll as varied knowledge of
the law which Mr.. Willard will bring to
his new position.
The tendency among jurists Is to diff
ferentiate into two distinct classes.
One class Is made up of bookish men
who, through long alteration of the va
rious forms of the law partly lose their
sympathy with its underlying spirit.
To these men a precedent is of more
worth than a principle and has CORE
spending supremacy in their decisions.
The other class comprises live and sem
ttent men of affairs, who move freely
among their fellow men and learn to
rely somewhat upon their own sharp
ened powers of discernment as we'll as
upon dusty and musty publications of
decades agone in reaching conclusions
affecting private or public rights. 1t Ia
Mr.. Wizards privilege to belong to this
latter class. and We believe time will
show that the Superior court bench Is
to be congratulated upon the fact.
1t is unfortunate that in the COVER
nors inevitable narrowing Of the field
OF candidates to the seven provided for
In the law creating the new tribunal
so courteous a gentleman and so justly
eminent and accomplished a jurist as
the distinguished president judge of
Luzerne county should have had to be
passed by, not as unfit, but as one who
may properly look to the future for
his recompense. The chivalrous con-
duct Of Judge Rice throughout the re-
cent pleasant rivalry of neighboring
candidates, while no more than in
keeping with his uniform demeanor,
has, We make bold to say, won him
many new friends and stimulated the
admiration of those already friendly.
Much younger than Mr. willard. Judge
Rice can afford to wait for the recogni-
tion which his worth will certainly yet
exact from the Republicans of the COM
monwealth.

as producers. they are the first to 'suf-
fer under a single appreciating stand
ard which gives non-productive capt.
tai the whip-hand over both men and
markets. Against these two forces are
arrayed the entire titled and moneyed
aristocracy, and likewise that vast
army Of retired Englishmen whose
means are invested in gold bonds or
annuities. For many decades yet this
conservative, stubborn. slow-going ele-
ment will surely dominate English leg
islation; and 1t Is as self-evident as an
axiom that 1t will never consent to
take the initiative in an international
bimetallic conference.
The cause of silver in Europe depends
for its success not on Lord Salisbury,
or any lord. but upon the inevitable
spread of democratic ideas, of intelll-
gence and consequently of power
among the artisan classes. This spread
is characterized by some ebullltion and
turmoil; at times 1t Is punctuated with
rioting and bloodshed; and very much
of It is unfortunately identified In the
popular mind. with socialism ana con-
tiscation: but IT is for all that for
ward movement, pregnant with the
promise of permanent good. Through
sheer poverty among the under masses
Europe must sooner or later return to
bimetallism; and Americans. If they
are wise in their legislative treatment
or the problem, can materially hasten
the day.

BimetaIIism In Europe.

There Is, in our Judgment. compare
lively little reliance to be placed in
the theory that Lord Salisbury's ac-
cesslon to the premiership Of England
signifies a great victory for interna-
dional bimetallism. 1t may have some
effect I'M stimulating the bimetallist
sentiment on the continent; but the
cause which is slowly forcing the debt
bqrdened, non-producing nations Of the
old world to abandon gold monometall-
ism lies deeper than transient par
liamentary fiuctuation at Westminster.
Two classes in England want silver
restored to legal parity with gold.
One Is the commercial class, which has
dealings with India. where the demone-
tization Of silver is already driving the
native inhabitants into bankruptcy and
thereby running trade. The other is the
laboring class, who, in England as in
America are beginning to perceive that,

Ergland's New Premier.

Ne return of Lord Salisbury to the
English premiership is an event of pos
sible Importance to this country. as well
as OF direct concern to the people of
England. II Senator Morgan, probably
the foremost of our American diplomat
isis. is correct in his Judgment, the new
premier "be lieves that Great Britain al

best interest lies in looking Well after

An arbitrary tone has been assumed as

ultbnatum which was given to Mica

course Great Britain will take concern
ing Chief Clarence, of the Mosquito
territory. The same spirit of accession
was noticeable under Rosebery as to
Hawaii. where an effort was made to
secure a cable landing on Neckar island.
But the general policy of Salisbury is
not of that seizure. 1t tends more to
the development of what Great Britain
already possesses. and to that extent"
the senator thinks, "it may have u
favorable influence upon pending ques-
lions"
To be sure, this would not interest US
so directly II We could have at the head
of our department of state a man suf
ficiently imbued with the American
spirit to resist unwarranted encroach-
ments by Great Britain in directions
prejudicial to American interests. Lord
Rosebery, in pursuing the policy of ex-
pansioD with which his name is identl-
fled. simply took advantage Of oppor-
tunities. The fault was with Secretary
Gresham in giving him such opportuni-
ties in the western hemisphere The

really a humiliation for the United
States that one of its leading states

upon the liberality of Lord Salisbury

rights rather than upon the officials In
his own country charged with their pro-
lection.
