eongratulation that such judge lives
and administers justice in the state Of
Oregon. That his life may be spared
and his present position Of power and
influence secure for many years TO come
in the judiciary OF the country should be
the devout prayer Of every intelligent be-
lever in justice throughout this whole
section. The layman and ordinary OBJ
server can have no appreciation to
what extent the Indignation OF honest
lawyers is daily excited and their en-
ergies siekened and discouraged by the
cowardly and corrupt subservieney Of
American and particularly Pacific coast
judges to the hue and cry Of an ignOr-

more advanced state Of civilization and
consequently fewer occasions to try GRIM

President McKinley's recent unofficial
intimatlon OF his policy toward the Flll-
plnOs Is the highest Importance. although
It seems to have been overlooked by the
newspapers. 1t comes in the shape Of an
endorsement Of a lecture by President
Masill Of swarthmOrs college. before the
Friends Association OF Philadelphia.
The lecture favored a prOtec,Orase .'of

said; I'VE should make no promises as

This means, practically. OF course, for
centuries. 1t gives US control OF Philip
