them. You will observe that | con-
demned only this ''faction," or rather
the sentiment which Judge Green's
letter attributed to them. Factions
sometimes go wrong. but the whole
people never.
If those people opposed Judge Green
for other reasons because he made a
wrong decision on the eUidence, or be-
cause he was partial. or because they
disliked him or thought him unfit for
any proper reason-that was and is
their honest right. and I am the last
to interfere with their prerogative.
But i, as 1 supposed from Judge
Green's letter when | wrote, the
''many Jealous partisansn were con-
demning him because he refused to
''dishonor his Office by rendering a
partisan decision"- this [ intended to
condemn, and l would now emphasize
that condemnation. If they did not
advocate the s'alleged" sentiments,
but opposed Judge Green for other
reasons, then my structures do not ap-
ply 10 them, and do not mean that
they should. | have no purpose OF
expressing preferences between men.
It was simply matter of principle
that l was after; insistance that our
judiciary, ia the administration of the
lac, shall know neither ''saint nor
sinner" rich nor poor, person nor
party; that is all.
[ may here add, once for all, that
knowing all the gentlemen who last
week announced themselves as candi-
dates for Circuit Judge, land did not
know of their candidacy before an
nounced,) do not believe that one of
them, if occupying that position,
would act partially or be actuated or
influenced on the bench, by ana i'm
proper motiUes. They are all very
competent, and as between them it is
not my purpose to interfere. But
wish to reiterate, that neither Judge
Green, nor any other Judge. should
be condemned or opposed, ''solely be-
cause he did not" yield to .zealous
partisans" and ''render partisan de-
cision when a political question was
involved" This principle rises SUI
premely above all party interests and
considerations. No party can afford
to ignore it. The general civilization
is involved, and the safety and whole
fabric of our institutions.
Thanking you for your kindness,
and apologizing again for my intru-
sion, and hoping not to trouble you
further, / remain,
Very Truly Yours,

it became necessary to notify some OBJ

Various devices successfully delayed
its progress from week to week; late
in the session, and BY extreme effort,
it was dragged through. but IN such a
mutilated form that its friends were

The emergency clause. which would
haye given it immediate effect. failed
to pass. The bill got through the
Senate, most likely because it was al
ready known that it would be vetoed.
In the veto we learned that ..the main
features of this bill are inquisitorial
and un-American; and, further that
the existing statutes are all sufficient.

leave the State before they will have
their private affairs made public every
twelve months" That land leglsIa-
ton would drive capital out of the
State, and it would be necessary to in

There were other bills which pro-
posed various remedies, such as ex-
empting homesteads from taxation,
others to exempt all under five hum

property. One bill provided for as
sessing all property at full value and
deducting mortgages and debts. In
fact, there was no lack of interest nor
any dearth of opportunity to do good.
Like all subjects of legislation, there
must first be the necessity, then the
education of the public mind; after

particular, but for all subjects of pub
lie welfare. G.. w. FARRAR, JR.

SNAKE CATCHES A BURGLAR.
Family Well Paid for Taking II Into
the Household.
(Chicago Chronicle.(


During the spring William Sommers
captured n large blacksnake, which he
brought home from the woods on his
farm in triumph. The reptile from the
start showed docility rarely encountered
among its kind, and Sommers and his
family soon were on good terms with his
snakeship which occupied a roOmy box,
placed during the Chill days of May near
the kitchen stove. The friendship be-
tween the Sommerses and the reptile grew
until the latter permitted itself to be
removed from its box and fondled by the
children, and il learned 10 eat out of their
hands, TO coll up in the laps of the girls.
and to follow the children about the
house, playing hide and seek, and alto

the household.
When the Sommerses went to bed last
Wednesday night to snake was coiled up
in its favorite place, on a rug in front of
the stting-room stove. Along toward mid
night the sleeping inmates Of the house
were aroused by a loud noise, and the
violent struggles of an intruder. Sommers,
leaping from the bed ran in his night
clothing TO the sitting-room, whence
sounds OF the tumult proceeded. He
