The Board of Education of Chicago
has determined to make cooking aud
sewing prominent features in the cur
riculum of the girl free schools of tha'
city. Not only the girls, but the VIC
,oen, men and boys of the whole cour-
try would be greatly benefited if the
school boards of every other city,
and town, would be similarly deter
mined, for, with bad cooking and BAG
sewing to provoke them, men can hard

because they had right to do so-all

THOUGH peace has been declared, a
large army and navy will still be main
tanned, but hardly, it is reasonably sup.
posed, on the present enormous and ex-
pensive footing. Surely hundred
thousand men ought to be sufficient to
preserve law and order among patriots
for whose relief from Spanish alleged
misrule the war was undertaken, and
the expense Of supporting the remain
ing one hundred and fifty thousand be
saved to the tax ridden people of the
country.

$4,000 per annum, and those serving in
cities of metropolitan importance ought
to receive q salary Of not less thaa 81 500
per annum. The chief justice Of the
supreme court should be paid $4,000
per annum, and his associates upon the
bench of that court should be paid a SAL
airy Of $4,000 per annum. The scanty
compensation which the people have
hitherto allowed judicial officers is one
of the principal reasons why the judi
ciary does not attract talent of the best
quality, and is also reason why popu-
lar respect for the judiciary is not main
tanned as in days of yore.
l beg to say, further, upon the general
subject which we are considering, that
the term of office for judges of the dis
trict court should be extended to four
teen years and that of chief justice and
associate justice of the supreme court
to twenty-one years. Short terms of
office for those entrusted with judi
cial functions have no tendency to
promote the efficiency of the judicial
department of the state government nor
to subserve consistency in the moulding
of our jurisprudence.

nOre AS to
the Judges,
United States District Attorney Evans
Favors Appointment by the Chief
Executive.
Judge Russell Holds Similar Views and
Cites the Massachusetts Court in
Support of His Position.

Replying to the Reviews request for
an opinion as to the proper method Of
electing our supreme court judges, Hon.
Robert G. Evans, the United States dis
trict attorney for Minnesota, furnishes
the following:
am in favor of an appointive judi
ciary. believe in this method of Sc
Letting our judges. Wherever it has
been tried IN this country think the re-
suit proves concluslvely that 1t secures
better men and better service than the
elective method. I do not mean to say
by this that good men and good service
are not obtained by the latter method,
but 1 believe that in general the ap-
pointive method secures better results.
The appointive method has been tried
IN the matter of the selection of federal
judges ever since the adoption of the
constitution, and the history of the fed
eral judiciary is the highest possible
recommendation of the manner Of their
selection.
1t would be rare thing indeed for a
man occupying the position of governor
of the state, charged with the RESPONSE
bility of selecting judge for life, or
during good behavior, to choose man,
who, from character or ability, was not
fitted for the position. In all the his
tory of the federal judiciary do not
know of more than one or two instances
where serious mistakes have been made,
and I think that the adoption of the
federal method IN the selection of our
supreme court judges in the several
states would remove to very large ex-
tent, if not wholly, the court from the
possibility of political Vaccination and
influence.
You put a man who has self-respect,
intelligence and integrity upon bench
like that of our supreme court, to serve
for life, or during good behavior, and
the result is that you are going to have
fearless, intelligent and just admins
tration of the law. Judges so appointed
will exercise more independence than
can reasonably be hoped for under any
other tenure of office. Freedom of
judgment is absolutely necessary to
that complete impartiallty which the
preservation of our rights ami liberties
requires.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1898-12-21
Judge Robert Russell.

Attorney Robert D. Russell, who not
long since resigned place on the dis
trict bench, entertains views of very
similar character. He says:
Appointment by the executive,f for life
or during good behavior, is,to my mind,
the best method. 1t is proving per
feet success in Massachusetts and has Sc
cured for that state judiciary un(x-
celled, if not unequalled, in any other
state in the Union. 1t has also proven
success in the m after of the federal
judges.
The speech of the Hon. Joseph Choate,
recently made in Boston at the unwilling
of the statute of Rufus Choate, was in
large part commendatory of the action of
his ancestor for the part he took in a
@mending the constitution of Massachus-
etts sand securing an appointive judiciary.
That speech presents strong arguments
in favor of that method; it has certainly
proven eminently satisfactory in that
state
The present method in Minnesota of
an elective Judiciary, and partisan NOM
nations, is in my opinion, as bad as any
that could be discovered. The man on
the supreme or district bench, who has
proven success ought to be retained
irrespective of his politics. His CON-
potency alone should govern.

Judge Willis.

Judge John W. Willis believes in
election by the people, but advocates
longer terms of offices and larger sal
aries for the judges. The following is
his opinion:
In my opinion, judges ought to be
elected by the people in all cases. I
believe that the constitution of the
United States should be so amended as
to make the judges Of the federal courts
elective by popular vote.
In this connection, it seems proper to
say that the compensation of judges in
the state Of 'ss.atssota ought to be IN
creased. liz, .es of the district

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Sept. 17-The Wheat situation had
no fresh light shed upon 1t by early cablegrams
or dispatches, but the market started at a
slight improvement for December delivery.
September however, showed a tendency in the
opposite direction, and that becoming more pro-
nounced II dragged the active option in its
wake. A factor which helped the market
somewhat at the start the report that a
prominent business of Ohio, who is now
travelling in Russia had written to this coun-
try that he had learned from Russian official
that the Wheat crop in the Volga District was
a failure and that so 600 900 bushels of Wheat
from other parts of Russia would be required
to feed the population of that province The
rank and file of the speculative crowd was like
the leaves of the aspen which CULVER even

ness was shown by the futter in the market
that attended the spreading of the oft-told tale
from the Volga. The Atlantic port cearances
of Wheat and Flour for the day amounted to a
heavy aggregate, and that was the cause of con-
siderable hrmness in the market the close.
Including clearances from New Orleans, Gal

amounted to lis. 900 bushels. September closed

EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET


NEW YORK. Sept. 17.-London started prices
downward this morning and there general
declines after the opening on account of I'M
easiness over the effect of an unfavorable bank
statement. There was evidently profit taking
ing stocks, the effect being most pronounced in
the Northern PacihcS and st. Paul, the former
running off a point. At the same time there
were points OF strength In the market, notably
Baltimore and Ohio and Chicago Great West
ern, on reports of passing to the control Of
Great Northern interests looking to the forma-
ton of a great transcontinental' trunk line. One
or two Of the specialtes also moved briskly up
ward. There was covering of shorts in Sugar,
thus eliminating the leading facteF OF weak
ness from the market AS a consequence a lib
eral demand sprang UP at the low level and
there quite notable absorption of stocks.
Prices of the coalers bid up sharply in
the second hour the strength of the Read
ing statement showing an increase for the ifs
cal year of over ST. 600, 900 in net earnings and
a balance of almost 3 per cent after all prior
requirements applicable to dividends on the
first preferred stocks. The completion of the
large speculative selling in st. Paul brought
that stock up again on buying invited by the
TENDER, showing an increase in earnings of
S103.s1 over last years high level The bank
with a surplus remaining of 81. 400. and
precipitated a general buying movement. Sugar
suddenly raided down 8 per cent in the
final transactions in of the specialties,
but the general market held pretty firm at net
gains throughout.
