The claim has been made by some
foreign millmen that the holding bulk
OF the product by the growers for
higher prices was against public policy.
The farmers have the same right 10
take every advantage of a market
which is at their mercy as would be
taken by the spinners under reversed
circumstances. The figures quoted,
however show that the mills are in no
stringency. and are abundantly able
to pay the prices demanded by the
growers.

Somewhat Too STIFF.

The republicans of East Tennessee
were sadly disappointed the other day
when addressed by Judge Colson.
The judge spoke and acted like
gentleman.
This strange conduct led to the re-
port that he was democrat in dis
guise. They could not understand
how it was possible for a man to be
free from slang and rhetoric.

The discussion of John c. Caihoun's
fitness for a place in the hall Of fame
has reached the ears of Boston.
one of the local newspapers says:

having trouble enough from their assign
ment of pedestal to General Lee. But
lee aid not formulate policies. He was
n soldier and took orders from what he
considered an authorized source. To
have nut the Great Nulliier in the Amer
lean Pantheon would have bred riot.
From which it is evident that Boston
is not broad enough yet. a truly cul-
tured people ought not to be lured into
a riot because of honor paid the mem
ory of a great man.

NAL
Then. anticipating the charge that he
WAS attack king the court. Mr.. Lincoln
concluded:
.-No- IS there in this Wow any as
saut upon THE courts or upon the
Judges"
In this inaugural declaration. which
led 10 war and victory. Mr. Lincoln
declared the independence of the politi-
cal force Of the country from the judi
clal. placing the political as the crea-
tive and corrective force. and giving
the court the limited place of sentence
in emergent eases. The people have
the right TO take cogniZance either Of
the abuse or the impOiicy OF court
functions. Through an appeal 10 the
ballot box they have the right to call
for either abolition. substitution or cor
rection. The case under conviction
stands. but the possibility Of its repeti-
ton may be stopped.
The policy Of Mr. Lincoln. therefore.
is the one which the democratic party
has taken up. by the abuse OF .njunc-
whether within written law or
MOI. does not matter grown obnoX-
ious. ard through the proper operations
OF law many people desire its wide
sweep To be curbed. The appeal 10 the
ballot can never be disOrderly. IL is
eminently orderly and conservative.
There is one feature of Mr.. Lincoln's
inaugural. however. which should en-
holden democrats 10 fight for the pres
ervation OF the country from imperial
ism. The declaration that "the policy
OF the government upon vital qucs-
tfouS' cannot be restrained by court
decisions is far-reaching. The liberty
OF the people TO move through the bal
lot box for the creation and the fixing
OF the rover Of courts is one thing; but
the assumption by president of free
dom from law as laid down by the
court is quite another. Mr.. Mckinley
has already declared himself above the
constitution Of Porto Rico. Mr. Kohl
saat cndeavors to ease his conscience
into the support of Mr. Mckinley by
declaring that il is a question for the
courts and when they decide all will
be bound. But here the danger comes:
viii not president who has assumed
20 be above the constitution, having
such distinguished initiative, 90 the
one step further. and declare that
where vital questions affecting the
whole people are at stake. his course
will not .'be irrevocably fixed by de
cisiOns of the supreme cOurt2'
The deeper we go into this question
the more imperative becomes the duty
to consign republicanism 10 period OF
probation.

The Courts in Politics.

The republicans claim TO be the
champions of the courts TO such an ex-
tent that the dragging OF any preroga-
tive OF the bench into politics gives
them the ~all-overs."
One Of the reasons given by Har-
wards president why he feared the
democratic party was that it attacked
the courts" Yet the republican party,
To which he belongs by Inheritance.
was built up by an attack upon the
supreme court of the United States,
and did not hesitate TO appeal TO 1.-THE
higher law" So much was this in evil
dence that its discussion took up the
major part of President Iincoln's first
inaugural speech. a glance at which
might be refreshing. as preserving the
truths of history.
When Mr.. Lincoln came into the
presidency. there were those who
feared his invasion OF the constitution.
All profess TO be content in the
union" he declared. III all constitu-
tional rights can be maintained" That
not n single plainly written consutu-
tional guarantee had been touched
MIR. Lincoln went on to prove. when he
came To the meat of the fear enter
tanned of his policy by saying:
II do no. forget the position as
sumcd by seine, that constitutional
questions are TO be decided by the
supreme court
And then came the limitation OF his
regard for il when he closed:
nor do 1 6eny that such 1. cisiors
mus; be binding upon the par
ties 10 the suit as to the objects
Of that suit"
Thus limited in the observance which
he would impose upon the decree of the
court from the individuals TO the suit
only. Mr. Lincoln went on to mark out
the influence which such decisions
should have in general and said:
while they are also entitled 10 very
high respect and consideration in all
parallel cases by al other depart
menfs Of the government n the
same time if the policy of the
government upon vital ques-
tions affecting the whole peo-
pie is to be irrevocably fixed by
decisions of the supreme
court :. TIE PEOPLE WILL
HAVE CEASED TO BE THEIR
OWN RULERS, HAVING TO
THAT EXTENT PRACTICAL
LY RESIGNED THEIR GOV
ERNNFET INTO THE HANDS

NAL"
