The Ohiter DiCta Hahit.

The friends of the Hon. WILLIAM LOCHREN
Of Minnesota ought TO yet around that gem
tleman. They ought to pursuade him at
any cost of time and effort to cure himself
of the propensity TO ventilate in judicial
decisions his individual opinions on qucs-
tons not pertinent TO the case before him.
This il imperative, not only for the dignity
of the Federal bench. but also to prevent
Judge LoCHREN from making himself per-
sonally ridiculous, and therefore of little
use hereafter to his country.
Judge LoCHREN's strong interest in the
broad Constitutional questions concerning
our new territory is perfectly legitimate.
1t is more than that, it is creditable to him
as a citizen and a thinker. He has a right
to hold opinions on this subject, and he has
a right to hold precisely the opinions which
he announced so voluminously and foridlv
in his cxtra-judicial remarks on the case OF
RAFAEL ORTIZ. He has a right TO become
much exercised in mind over what he re-
CARDS as the limping and impotent logic of
Senators, Representatives and newspaper
editors who take the opposite view. He
has a right--the American right Of free
spcech--to put his indignant and con-
temptuous dissent on record. in order. as he
from his silence.
All this is admitted. Judge LoCuREN
would have had precisely these same rights
if President CLEVELAND had not APPOINTED
him in 1895 10 he Distric. Judge in the Min
nesota district. IN that case the ordinary
channels of publicity for his personal opin-
ions would have been open to Mr.. LoCHREN,
If he did not agree with this or that editors
views as to the Constitution in the Terri
tories he could have written a letter 10 the
newspaper and undoubtedly it would have
been printed. He could have published
hall and delivered n lecture, either free
or with an entrance fee. II he re-
garded this or that Senator's reasoning
as exasperatingly weak or disingenuous, he
could have challenged the Senator 10 de-
bate and have demolished him, perhaps,
before the eyes Of the country. There are
other ways in which Mr.. LoCHREN might
have broken silence and prevented any,
body from thinking that he ~aCquiesced in
that was abhorrent to him as n
citizen and thinker.
But Mr.. LoCHRES being Judge LoCHREN
by Mr.. C~IEvELAND's appointment, and the
pernicious habit of obiter dicta having
a powerful hold upon Judge LoCHREN,
we find him using his judicial office to
impart Fictitious Importance to his views
on a question which he was not called upon
