From many generations have inheri-
ted love of the democratic form of gov

I canEot consent to any departure from
that rule. Nor can I tolerate, or have
any patience with, those who seek to
make better systems or conditions by re-
strictlng. in any manner, means for the
expression of the popular will, until it
has been 1ndisputably demonstrated that
the popular will has become an unsafe

ship of state. w.. ...-
We want purer, better, more indie

Then let us get it by the way Of ma

ble, it may be asserted. do not believe

diately see the dawn Of better systems,
to be followed soon by better conditions,
the result of a more faithful discharge
of all public duties by those called to
public positions.
If this is not true, if the citizens cam
not be brought to the condition suggest
ed, then let the time be set for the obse-
quies of popular government, and let it
be boldly declared that this government,
no longer of, by and for the people, has
persisted from the earth.
In conclusion am constrained to say
that am in favor of the election of
judges and all other important Offices by
the people, and will continue to he IN
til I am satisfied that the people are un-
fitted for the discharge of such grave
and responsible duty, and VIXEN am SO
satisfied I will be compelled to declare
that the sun of the republic has set for
ever! I favor giving the people mole
power, and at the same time fitting
them for its safe exercise.

Prof. FOlWell.

Prof VIM. w. Folwell, who holds the
chair of political science at the state
university and is unquestionably one Of
the ablest men of the faculty, favors ap-
pointment by the executive.
"There is no method of making Ju1g-
es," he writes, switch is not open to OBJ
lection. No matter what plan is adopt
ed, unhappy selections will at times be
made. Z Can only express the opinion
that in the long run appointment by the
governor, with the advice and consent
of the senate, will give the people a
greater number of we'll qualified judges
than direct election by the people, pro-
vided, Of course, that the term he long
one, with no chance of reappointmen,
and with pension upon retirement.
Under the present system, many Of our
most competent men will not consent to
he candidates. A political convention
is about the poorest body possible for
the selection of candidates.

Congressman Tawney.

Hon. James A. Tawney replies to the
Reviews inquiry as follows: In my op,n-
ion the judges of our supreme court,
and Of our district courts, should con-
tinue to be elected by the people as here
tofore. I think more satisfactory results
would he obtained if the election of our
jud ges were held separately. The i'm
portance of having the best judiciary
possibly would, in my judgment, justify
our holding an election for the purpose
of selecting these officers and none other
at such election.

GreenIeaf Clark.


~ The following opinion is IN important
one from the fact that it comes from d
former judge of the supreme cnrt, Green
leaf Clark of St. Paul, an able lawyer
and a conscientious and we'll meaning
citizen.
IL beg to say" he writes. shat have
ever been of the opinion that the early
system, generally in force in this coun-
try, for the appointment Of judges, to
serve for life or during good behavior,
by the chief executive with the approval
Of the senate, was the safer and better
method, and that the bistory,of the ju-
dietary in states where the elective sys-
TEN prevails deepens the impression.
Such movements, however, seldom or
never go backwards, and Isuspect there
is little hope of change back to the old
system Of appointment in our state. Z

Gen, SanbOrn.

Gen. John B. Sanborn, tie st. Paul
lawyer and legislator, does not consider
the question practical one. His rea-
rons are given in the following:
[ do not wish to enter into any dis
cussion OF the question Of the relative
advantages of the appointment of he
judges OF our supreme court 10y the gov
ernor, with the approval of the senate,
over the present method OF electing
them by the people. l have practiced
law under both systems and under both
have found intelligent, honest and able
Judges. I would far sooner trust the
people to select their judges than the
senate or the district judges of the state,
on account of political and personal as,
pirations, while if left to my own ju''g-
ment l should adopt the method OF hav-
ing the governor appoint the judges to
hold Office during good behavior, with
the provlso that the senate must Con-
firm by a two-thirds vote of all tie sena~
tors elected. am decidedly of the opin-
ion that the question Is no longer Il
practical question and consider that :he
people have adopted the pr licy Of elect
ing the judges to serve for limited
term, and thus far have shown little or
no disposition to change this method for
any other. and in this respect will take
no step backward. So we may all con-
slider that the election of, our supreme
court Judges for limited terms is the
settled policy of this state as well AS
that of most states Of. the Union, and it
would seem to he folly to attempt to
change the system at this time, or to
look for any change in the near future.

BUSINESS OF rIHE WIEIEK.

Treating of business conditions in
the United States, Bradstreet's says:
Several substantial developments pre-
sent themselves this week, notable
among which are number OF ad-
vances in prices. exceptionally few de-
cllnes thereof, growing strength in the
pig iron situation, unprecedentsdly
large bank c.earings, and remark
ably good reports as 10 export TRACE,
not only in the line OF foreign products,
but in the enlarged trade in manufac-
tured products. Distribution of mer-
chandise shows but little change from
recently preceding weeks, but the
growth in confidence is reflected In
very general reports of improved col
lections on past business
Rather more inquiry is noted for pig
iron, and the tone of prices is strong in
contrast 10 that Of steel, which is being
shaded by those eager to book new
business. The steel rail situation is
apparently unchanged, and much bust
ness is held up awaiting settlement OF
price and other details.

rHLAr NEGRO FIsHrR.

Charles G.. Fisher the negro preacher
OF Kent county, is practically NOBODY
in himself But for his connection
with crime against the purity OF the
ballot he would not be worthy CT tho
slightest notice by the public press.
His Importance at this juncture is due
solely to the fact that he has been con-
victed by our state judges of having
paid the registration fee Of another
man, thereby violating the anti-bribery
provisions OF our new Constitution. On
der the auspices of the Addicks party,
which is particularly and peculiarly IN
terested IN breaking down this new
SYSTEM OF the trial OF such offenses by
judges instead OF by juries, an appeal
has been taken to the Supreme Court
and the man Fisher is out on bail
pending a determination Of the ques-
tion raised.
1t has been proved time and time
again that juries are worthless in cleo.
tion cases, and violations of the Jaw
have proceeded openly and with i'm
punity. The first trial by judges has
clearly demonstrated the effectiveness.
OF the new system. We feel sure thai
the Supreme Court will sustain th'
lower court in its action and that tn
negro Fisher will be sent back 4
prison TO serve out his sentence, despit
the efforts OF the Addicksites to saw
him from punishment for the execution
of an act which they designed. II he
been said that trial by judges is no
inimical to the safety and liberty OF al
innocent man. while rogues place thei
reliance in the jury box. When tn
majesty OF the law shall come TO b
recognized and respected by the politi
cal roguss who now infest our state W
shall have clean and honest elections
We cannot conceive that the Suprem
Court Will split legal hairs to rende
possible a continuance of existing p,
litical conditions.

Washington. Nov. 22.-The War De-
partment has found that it is imprac-
ticable to occupy Cienfuegos before the

son, commanding the First Corrs,
which was designated to occupy Glen
fuegos, has been directed to make such
disposition of the troops that were
about to sail as in his Judgment will
best serve the interests of the army.
A short time ago a brigade under COM
mand OF Gennral Snyder was ordered
to be placed in readiness for immedi-
ate service and occupation Of Cien-
fuegos. Since that time it has been
found that there are now $4,000 Spanish
troops at Cienfuegcs, and that mere
Spanish troops are to he sent there, so
that the Spanish garrison cannot be
removed in time for occupancy by the
American troops, on or about Dacsm-
Der IL. This was the date originally
fixed when General Snyder should go
to Cienfuegos. Besides the 10000 troops
originally at this place, it has been
found necessary to send a large num-
Der OF troops from Havana ON account
Of the disturbances and mutiny whrch
have occurred there.
The preparations thus far made do
not indicate that the United States au-
thorities are in any great hurry about
sending troops to Cuba. No ships for

This sounds very well. but we must
not forget that Addicls declares that
no Republican shall go to the United
States Senate from Delaware until he
goes. and that Representatives. elect
John Pilling represents the opinion OF
certain number OF members elect
when he declares that heneverwill vote
10 SIND j. Edward Addicks to the
United States Senate. The figures used
above are based on the assumption that
the men win go into a binding caucus
The side which sees that it is in the
minority will never go into caucus, and
five determined men on either side can
block an election. That is the rea
point in the controversy.
