Method OF seIeeting Judges.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
The article, Method of Selecting Judges"
by T. L. See, in to-days Journal. 1 have
read with attention. L. l.. See is wrong.
The people of this State do not demand or
wish judges for life. No officer Of the iu
dteial branch should be appointed by the
Governor for life. Some of the causes on
Grating in favor of the United States courts
In dealing with criminals are, first, the wit
nesses are paid by the United States; second.
the judges help the juries to determine cor
rectly the facts by instructions that would
be held erroneous by the state appellate
tribunals; third. changes of venue from the
court and district are the exception and not
the rule, in state courts; fourth. the
United States district attorneys are we'll
paid by salaries and fees; fifth, the full
power of the United States is behind the
courts 10 aid in executing its judgments if
necessary. An experience at the bar and
on the bench leads me to the conclusions:
First, that the judges should be elected by
the people, and should feel that they are the
servants Of the people and bound at stated
intervals 70 let the people sit in judgment
on their uolnSS' second, a life tenure tends
30 make a person naughty and overbearing
10 forget ne IS a servant and to assume the
role of master; third the State should nav
Its witnesses and not compel any one to
render services and expend money without
remuneration; fourth. the Judges should be
elected at an election separate and distinct
fIom the time of all other elections; fifth
the prosecuting attorney should receive
more salary and be elected for the same
term as the judges; sixth the circuits should
be made larger and the. salaries of the
Judges be increased, seventh. that no Judge
should hold court in any one circuit a sec
ond time until he had held court at least
once In every other circuit i'm Indiana;
eighth, the judges should have the right in
iustructing juries 10 comment on the evil
dence 10 the extent at least possessed now
by United States judges; ninth, a majority
Of the jury should be allowed to make the
verdict except in cases OF murder [ hope
that the lawyers. judges and people of this
State will let their opinions be heard on the
above subjects. DUDLEY II. CHASE.

NEARING A CRISIS,

No doubt the railway situation OF the
Pacific Northwest approaches solution
The U. P. system is the prime faetOr,
II now has the Short Line and the o. R
& n, within It's grasp 1t seeks the
trans-Pacihc trade. which demands
steamships Of from Is to 30 feet draft.
1t is not possible TO have these at Port
land with its 22-foot channel. The U. P.
must therefore. move on to Astoria or
else to Puget sound. But the latter place
is especially the terminus Of the Great
Northern. which would have every ad-
vantage over the Z. P, including that
OF neaFness to the wheat fields from
Seattle. Astoria. therefore. is the o.
P.'s natural ocean port. It is 80 miles
nearer the ocean than Seattle. 1t is as
near the wheat fields and has a down
grade. Besides frst-elass road is al
ready completed and in Operation while
It would require a most expensive new
road to enable the U. P. to reach Seattle,
and commerce is pressing and can't wait
Beyond doubt the U. P. viii come TO As
;oria for its exports and TO capture the
trans-Pacifc trade.
These facts win soon be developed.
The L. P. has bought in all the govern
ment lands at receivers sale, which
seems the last act in the drama The
vanderbilts lately took in the Chicago
& Alton. a connecting link between its
eastern and U. P. system. All reason for
further eoncealment seems now at an
end
The only thing now to he done is to
dissolve the voting trust under which
President Hill of the Great Northern
controls the policy Of the o. R. & y.
Under that trust he controls his own
five directors and the five allotted to the
U. p. all Of whom were elected last
September Unless Mr.. Hill can be per-
suaded TO yield gracefully 10 the inevit-
able. the o. R. & n. cannot be forced
before next September to make Astoria
a common point with Tacoma and the
A. & c. R. R. practical part Of the
U. P. system. But It is stated ON
HIGH AUTHORITY that President Hih
will accept the situation AT ONCE.
He will adjust his line to the new condi-
tions without delay.
Whether President Hhl does or does
not give up the neeting advantage ne
row holds, the situation will shortly be
developed and the world will soon learn
that Astoria is the western terminus Of
the great Z. P. system The situation
nears crisis. The people of Astoria
have every reason to be Of good cheer:

PORTLAND NOT IN IT.

Tacoma Ledger:
Hawaiian sugar has always gone direct
from the islands to eastern retineries or
to San Francisco, and the imports in
Hawaii have come from the same points.
A few months ago break was made in
the trade to Hawaii, and shipments have
since been made from Tacoma and Sc
attic. The business started in an ex-
perlmental way has grown rapidly
freight being left at the Tacoma wharf
every trip. Now another large steamer is
to be put on to accommodate the in
creaslng business
And this was one-sided. The steamers
filled to oyernOwing with freight, came
back in ballast save for few hundred
