A COMPLIMENT.

Mr., Crackenthorp, distinguished
English lawyer, made some comph-
mentary remarks about American law
yers before the American Bar associa-
ton at the last session. He said in part ::
"Your standard of legal education is
a very high one, higher, indeed than it
is i'll my own country. If l am not mis-
Informed you have III the United States
rs law schools, of which 65 are associ-
ated with universities. The reputation
of at least one of these has long attracted
the attention of Europe. In London, al
though it is the capital of an empire
and central seat of justice, no such
advantages are to be had. We have, in
deed, council Of legal education cho-
sen by the four inns of court, which is
doing its very best, but it does not and
with the limited resources at its COM
mand it cannot do much more than in
still elementary knowledge. 1t is not
surprising that English lawyers, bred
like myself amid the turmoil of the
courts, should be reprcached by CONT
mental Observers with knowing little
about the connection between the vari-
ous systems Of Jurisprudence which pre-
vail i'll the different countries. England,
we are told, produces many first rate
advocates, occasionally very great
Judges, but rarely II scientific or q COM
parative jurist. The imputation is,
am bound to admit, not wholly un-
founded. -

THE RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH.

INDIANAPOLIS. For ten days u great
crowd has collected on the postoffice
corner discussing the financial question
of the present campaign. The discussion
frequently lasted until midnight. As
fast as one speaker wearied another filled
the gap. The police made numerous and
futile efforts to scatter the disputants
and finally made several arrests.
Twice the cases came before Judge
Cox OF the city court, and the last time,
with much impatience, he discharged
the defendants, holding there was no
decision by any court, high or low,
where it is held that man violates the
law by discussing political topics in the
street.
"On the contrary, continued tho
court, "all Of the decisions are the other
way. The right Of free speech is funda-
mental i'll our constitution and must not
be denied, No police force can stop it.
1t is the right of American citizens.
This is time when perplexing ques-
tions are puzzling the people. They are
questions of vital importance to the
common people. 1t is only by ample
discussion of the questions that confront
them that they can learn properly to
exercise their right of franchise. They
have the right to discuss these questions,
and the court will protect them. "
The court also criticised the policy Of
the police i'll interfering with these
street corner talks by using the ordi-
nance against sidewalk obstruction as
an engine of oppression. He warned the
officers that further arrests would be
useless, as the defendants would not be
punished.
The financial debates are still being
held.
We boast CT our liberties, when the
truth is that Il fair comparison Of our
government, state and national, shows
much tyranny. A man can much more
freely express himself i'll England with
out danger of arrest than he can here.
Tho attempt to browbeat men for crit
icising any Of cur features of govern
ment is unworthy of free citizens Crit
icism may often be crude and unjust,
but honesty and fair dealing people vel
come it, When public acts and institu-
tions fear criticism. they give strong
reason for suspicion. Judge Cox's de-
clslOu Is quite encouraging.

sentiment for peace and in favor of ar
bltration as the alternative for war is
growing apace. How has that sentiment
told on the direct action of nations?
How far have they shaped their policy
according to its methods? The answers
to these questions are peaceful and en-
couraSing. Experience has shown that
over large area international differ
ences may honorably, practically and
usefully be dealt with by peaceful arbi-
tration. There have been since 1916
some 90 instances Of effective arbitra-
tion. To 32 of these the United States
has been party and Great Britain to
some 20 of them. There are many in
stances also of the introduction of arbj-
tration clauses into treaties. Here again
the United States appears in the van,
but are we thence to conclude that the
millennium of peace has arrived-that
the dove has returned to the ark, sure
sign that the waters of international
strife have permanently subsidized? am
not sanguine enough to lay this hatter-
ing JUNCTION TO my soul. Unbridled am
bition, thirst for wide dominion, pride
of power still hold sway, although with
lessened force and in some sort under
the restraint of the healthier opinion of
the world. But further, friend as am
of peace, would yet affirm that there
may be even greater calamities than
war-the dishonor of nation, the tri-
umph OF an unrighteous cause, the per-
petuation of hopeless and debasing tyr
amy. 1t behooves then all who are
friends Of peace and advocates of arbi-
tration to recognize the difficulties of
the question, to examine and meet these
difficulties and to discriminate between
the cases i'll which friendly arbitration
is and i'll which it may not be practi-
callv possible. E"

TREELAND, SEPTEMBER al, 1896


The recent examination of applicants
for mine inspector of this district has
been the subject of much criticism since
the board of examiners completed its
work by making recommendation to
the governor. The ugly rumors which
were current before and during the cX-
animation have developed into direct
charges Of wrong-doing, and the accuser
of the board is one Of the members. In
his minority report Examiner Berry
makes the mattor so plain that every
man who is affected by the appointment
of Mr.. Davies can understand how the
law was openly disregardcd and violated
in order to give the present mine inspcc-
tor the percentage required to recon-
mend him.
Mr.. Berry gives plain proof to support
the allegations he made, yet notwith-
standing the able, intelligent and con
else statement which he presented to
the governor, there was no official notice
taken of his report, and the appoint
ment was made without an investigation
to ascertain whether or not Justice had
prevailed in the examination.
Had those charges come from some
irresponsible person, there might be al
lowance made for the governors refusal
to consider them. But such is not the
case. Mr.. Berry stands high in the
ranks of LuzernC's scholars, especially
n mi IA N nj ,,rI,
he make charges they should be given
an opportunity TO SubStantiatc them be-
fore an appointment is made. That
such was not done makes farce of
these examinations, and instead of spur
ring men on to win the laurelS which
the law says shall 90 to the qualified APP
plicants, it leads them into disrcputable
practices to attain these honors.
1t is worthy Of note. also, that Mr..
Berry's fellow-eXaminers make no reply
to his report. There are few men in
public life who would rest for day
under such charges, were they innocent,
and the silence of Examiners laval.
Reilly, Jones and MoiIatt should not be
overlooked.
This is not the first time that the mine
inspectors board has made a suspicious
report, but it is hoped. for the benefit
and safety of the thousands Of miners
who are placed under incompetent Off
cials, that it will be the last. Some of
these days, the TRIBUNE has reason to
believe. the inside history Of these cX-

GROWTH OF THE SENTIMENT OF
ARBITRATION.

We subjoin a significant paragraph
from the address of Lord Russell of
England before the American Bar asso-
citation ON arbitration. This is very en-
couraging statement, and we may feel
assured that the influence of such men
as Lord Russell and of such bodies as
the association will ere long influence
governments to the desired federation.
All the English speaking countries
should move at once in establishing an
arbitration tribunal.

The first six questions We're given by

therefore, not included.
To Illustrate further, Joseph j. Shaw,
in answer to the first question, says he
is 2S years of age. He is, therefore, in

must have attained the age of thirty
years" This Mr.. Shaw stated at the
outset, accompanying the statement
with Il request of the board to mark his

1t will be interesting to compare the

THE HOME PARLIAMENT.

The great benefits derived from q
home parliament are obvious. There are
many families who do not confer about
matters III general, and others miss
many lessons. The first gain is that
children are taught to think and to act
intelligently; second, they acquire the
ability to control themselves and to hear
the other side. Then, the real culture,
the familiarization with current affairs,
is beyond value.
Let there be many home parliaments
during the autumn and winter.
What we want and what we need are
not always identical.

THEY FAVOR PAVING.
The Cost Will be Less Than Has
Been Represented.

President Beatty, Of the board of
public works, has always been an ar
dent advocate of macadam, but after
seeing what kind of work has been
done on Front street under the curb
ing and guttering contract, he has
made up his mind to favor brick paw
ing. The contractor began at the
north end of Front street last fall and
got as far as Main street before cold
weather put stop to all work. Capt.
Beatty said today that in view of the
character of the work, he believed
that it would be for the interests of
the property owners to have the
remainder of the work stopped and
brick paving done instead. He would
favor paving from Main to Cherry
street the present year. The cost of
the guttering and raising the street
to grade would go far toward paying
for the pavement. When the street
is paved. the guttering will have to
be torn'up, ,and the brick laid to the
curb.
Engineer Haynes states that the
cost of brick pavement will not be as
great as represented. On Front
street between sthe curbs there are
six and eleven hundredths square
yards per lineal foot. At S1.45 per
yard, the cost would be 1886 per foot,
at $3.50 per yard it would be $917,
and at $175 it would be $1,000. To
get at the cost per lot, these figures
must be divided by two, and multi
piled by Stwehty-two. At $3.50 per
yard, the costsrper foot on each side
of the street would be $4.5S3. A
twenty-five foot lot would be charged
S1OO.S7. There is hardly lot but
what is valued at "a, 900 exclusive of
the building. Paving would certain
ly add more than two and one-half
per cent. to the value of the lot, and
surely a renter would be willing to
pay more than &c cents month more
for a store facing a paved street.
When this matter is thoroughly di-
gested, the principal opposition to
paving,mus vanish.
With Front street paved, the large
output from the city treasury to keep
the street in repair would be stopped.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1896-04-03

So FAR the treasury officials seem
to be successful in their efforts to keep
the gold reserve up to high figure.
1t is now in the neighborhood of $780,
100000, and there is about $1,000, 900
more due upon the recent bond sale.
The recent action of the treasury in
raising the exchange on gold, had the
effect OF putting stop to speculation
in the yellow metal, and prevented
withdrawal for European shipment,
as it cut the profit down to too fine a
point. If the balance of trade
could be turned in our favor, and suf-
ficient revenue secured to meet the
wants of the government, the trouble
of maintaining the reserve would be
greatly Iessened.
