The supreme court held the .Ander-

will at once enter upon the enjoyment
OF the revenues that will result from
the imposition of This tax. It is a just

Discovery in store, and selling lots CT

surprise of all she began to get better
from the first dose, and half dozen

CAUSE OF DELAY.

Impossible to Secure Transports to Con-
vey Troops to the Philippines.
WASHINGTON, May 25.--Much COM
ment and some criticism has been
caused by the delay in forwarding
troops to- the Philippines to support
Admiral Dewey. Both the comment
and the criticism had their origin in
the desire Of the people that the fruits
of DeWey's victory at Manila should
not be endangered by any lack of as
partment. ....-.
The utmost difficulty is being ex-
perienced by the department. in obtain
ing necessary transports. The coast
wise trade on the Pacific is not large as
compared with that on the Atlantic
and majority of the vessels figuring
in the trade are of foreign register. OF
course, ships flying foreign flag cam
not be used as transports by the gov
sernment, as such use would constitute
"a violation of the neutrality laws of the
nation whose flag the ship bore.
Must BE Given American Register.
Assistant Secretary Meikeljohn re.
ceived telegraphic offer from the
agent of the Northern Pacific Steam.
ship comany at Seattle, placing at the
disposal of the government the com.
pany's entire fleet of six steamers, pro.
vided they be given American register.
All are British built vessels and fly the
British flag.
Commenting upon the situation
which confronted the department. Sec.
rotary Mikeljohn said: eve have
made every possible effort to secure
vessels of American register; indeed,
we want nothing else. But it is i'm.
possible to obtain them on the Pacific
coast. We shall have simply to ask
congress to give American register to
vessels that we can obtain. There is
no other way out of the difficulty"

In discussing methods of nominal.
ing district, judges by petition, the
Alexandria Post News says:
When asked why attorneys signed
such a petition, an able and leading
member of the bar said that they had
to, they did not dare to refuse.
So great is the discretionary power
of the bench, that a Judge who was
rot friend " to an tsorney could
work great injury TO his clients. and
while he considered thes judges of tn s
8 CT trict above suspicion of SO using
Tat power, yet no one attorney would
hazard it. Morrow II, few orneys
had Immediate judicial ambitions or
spossibilitias, and a large majority,
aerefore, had as soon or rather have
s the present judges as new men; They
signed and the rest followed. SO it is
L that every attorney in the district has
been tied up tight; there cannot be a
voluntary, no Misunderstanding can
didate and Judge Baxter will be nom
mated as he was twelve years ago and
as Judge Searle was six years ago, by
petition But it is bad precedent:
(. it is judicial political machine of the
smoothest order, and introduces into
the judiciary methods such that if an
an Objectionable judge should get the
office, it would be almost impossible
& to get rid of m. The bar has no
right to sign any such petition know
ing it's object no Judge should permit
it to be circulated If he knows sof it,
aud the people who elect and whose
interest the courts act upon should in
sist upon their right to nominate,
The HERALD believes firmly that the
points are not we'll taken. The bench
mall its branches should be independ-
emit of and above party politics, A
judge should not be subservient to any
party, body, or individually as he of
necessity would be of his nomination
depended upon . political eonyeu-
ton. So far Is attorneys being tied
up" or afraid to refuse TO sign an
application. the HERALD has more
confidence in the. bar than to believe
the members would assent to the Sc
lection of a judge who is incompetent,
corrupt or otherwise Objectionable.
The Post News acknowledges that the
system is working satisfactorily in
practice-it is the theory to which it
objects. The HERALD believes the
theory is justified by its results, not
onlyin this but in every district where
it obtains. = ,s,
And to go step farther, the party
could not do a wiser thing than to
decline to make nomination in state
convention against the retiring judges,
two of whom, Messrs. Mitchell and
Canty, both democrats, would be glad
to retain their places on the bench.
Judge Buck will retire ofhis own Volt
ton and the vacancy will have to be
filled. The political views of aiudge
should no more be, considered than
his religious preferences, Questions
of political policy, or of personal
preferment, are foreign to the bench.

Judge Collins Attitude.

Judge Cillins attitude in the pend
ms, gubernatorial campaign is such
as to commend him to the thoughtful
people of the state regardless of in
dividual preferences. Heis pursuing
the even tenor of his way, attending
to his official duties carefully and
conscientiously, but when convention
time comes around he will have avery
respectable crowd of volunteer friends,
who will nominate him for governor,
if they can, on the theory that he is
the best equipped man for the position
and will poll more votes for the Re-
publican party than any other eandi-
date who has been mentioned. Some
of the machine politicians have been
urging him to resign his position as
supreme court justice and get down
into the general scramble, but there is
no good reason for his doing SO from
any standpoint. So far as we recos-
lect there is no precedent for his doing
SO, and several for not doing SO,
Judge Collins has stated that he would
accept the nomination for governor il
called upon to do SO, and there are q
good many of his friends scattered
throughout the state who are going to
try and make him the Republican can.
