WHETHER for good or evil the decisions
OF courts ale now deemed fit matter for
newspaper comment. The next step will
be that some irate witness who is being
badgered while on the witness stand by
an attorney, will smash that attorney
when opportunity presents itself, The
rulings of courts may be influenced con-
siderably, If not by the fear of newspaper
involved in personal alteration.
The courts are to blame to a large ex-
tent themselves for this condition. The
reversal of the legal tender decision by
packing the court was the first blow to
that reverence IN which courts were held.
Then followed the electoral commission,
the judicial members of which not only
forgot what the dignity of their positions
demanded, but as we'll what their honesty
as men made proper. True, they we're
not acting in their capacity as Judges
within the constitutional meaning. But
the people believed that judicial fairness
would not be discarded when judicial
robes were laid aside.
The dlsillusion was startling and dan
gerous in its tendencies. The action of
the Chicago convention shows the estim-
ate of courts by a large portion of the
people of the country. Only within a
few weeks, the action of a circuit Judge
OF this state In granting new trial to
person convicted of arson, was severely
anlmadverted upon by newspaper pub.
ilshed II the city IN which the ruling was
made.
But II was not with purpose to deal
with the danger attendant upon ready.
and often unwarranted criticism of the
action OF courts that this article was COM
menced. 1t was TO mention the fact that
Senator Hoar denies that the supreme
court was packed to secure a reversal of
the legal tender decision.
The senator shows that the names of
Strong and Bradley were sent TO the SEN
ale February I, 1880, for condrmatlon,t the
very day on which the legal tender decis-
ion,whch was ashort time after reversed.
was announced, He argues that these
appointments must have been determined
upon before 1t was known what the decis.
ion was to be, and that IN consequences
they could have had no reference to the
purpose which ii was popularity believed
they were intended to accomplish. All
the members of the cabinet have stated
that they were Ignorant of what the decIs.
ion was to be,and one of them stated that
Grant was equally without knowledge.
Besides he shows 1t would be next TO i'm.
possible to find at that time a republican
lawyer OF standing who did not assent to
the legal tender quality of the green
backs. II the people could only be salts
fed of the truth of what Senator Hoar
attempts TO prove, 1t would do much
toward rehabilitating courts in popular
estimation and relieve the memory of
General Grant OF a stain,

THERE is not much use of reasoning
with the farmer as to why times are hard
with him 10 view of the fact that he is led
to believe that the cause is wholly out
side himself, and that all that is needed
to give him prosperity is legislation
whether it has direct relation to his bus
mess or not. And yet a few grains of good
seed might fall on congenial soil.
The farmer is i'll no verse clrcumstan-
ces than other people who have to toll for
their daily bread. Those who tell him
otherwise are pr8cticIng deception, though
IN SO doing they may win the confidence
of the farmer. The farmer is 20 more
honest than other people. He is just as
ready to take an advantage as people en-
gagged in other pursuits. There is no good
business reason why he should be speci-
ally favored by other people, who like him.
are fighting the battle of life. The sooner
he realizes that he is one of community
each OF whom is trying to better his con-
dition, even if it be at the expense of an
other, The better it will be for him. He
cannot expect in the struggle for life, or
In the struggle for wealth, to be consider
ed favored person. He may be told so
at election time, but election statements
are to be taken with more than grain of
allowance.
The proper thing for the farmer to do
is to consider himself one of the many
who must depend upon his own efforts
for his income and not upon the honeyed
words of politicians. How is be by his
own efforts to better his condition?
II he cannot increase his income he can
reduce his expenses. That is what other
business men are dong when times are
hard. But the farmer thinks that legis-
lation might enable him to continue his
course without curtailment of expense.
He reasons that he is not extravagant and
if the farm does not pay, the system of
government and of finance is wrong. The
best system of economy is that which
looks to personal expenditure for re-
trenchment. Politicians Will say it is this
and that, all having relation to something
beyond the farmers experience which Is
to blame and the man who argues other
wise is regarded as an enemy of agricul-
tural interests.
During the period OF good times
farmers become extravaeanl. Machinery
beyond their needs was purchased and
was often not cared for properly, thus
making new purchases necessary at short
intervals of time. There was not the
proper fear of debt and it was contracted
without reflection. A mortgage eats up
the proceeds of farm and makes times
hard to him who must meet the payments.
The last three years will not be without
value If the distress they brought
Will enforce habits OF economy. There
are great many leaks which can be stop
ped without hardship or undue exercise
of economy. 1t is much better to try this
than 1t Is 10 rail at the times

HE death OF Maceo is IN one sense a
great blow to the Cubans. He typitied
the revolutionary spirit and had great
daring and physical strength. He might
have been too great fighter to be safe
general But he had reason to rejoice IN
the slaughter of Spaniards as one by one
his ten brothers and his father fell fight
ing for Cuban independence. He is the
last OF his race. The fact that he was a
mulatto gave force to his leadership
among people in whose veins run the
African blood.
But Maceo dead may be a greater force
than Maceo living. His death has spur
red the Cubans to fresh efforts, and re-
venge is now supplementlng patriotism.
In the United States, enlistment for the
Cuban cause has been stimulated by the
reputed manner of Maceo's taking off.
If there was treachery IN his destruction
Re has freed Cuba by lis death, and that
was the sole object OF his living.
