The Judicial Dog.

The chief judicial system OF the
United States comprises a Supreme
Court with nine judges, circuit court
having twenty-five judges, and dis
trict court having sixty judges. The
latter court lie therefore the tail of the
system, and Hon. William Lochren,
Judge of the United States district
court for the Minnesota district, is one
of the vertebl@ of this tail, This in
divdual vertebra, in its recent dictum
on great constitutional question, has
undertaken to wag not only it's fifty
nine associate vertebre, but the Cir
cult body and the supreme head of the
animal also, and all anti-imperalism is
making great hullabaloo over the
presumptuous undertaking.
How heavy was the responsibility
that burdened this single member of
the neither extremity of the national
judicial system may be understood from
this apology at the conclusion of the
vertebrate heroic effort:
ut might seem unnecessary to examine,
as have, the claim that legislation does
not apply to newly acquired domains OF the
United States, had that claim not been
urged with such amplitude of argument
that acquiesceuce might be inferred from
| silence"
Members of Congress, great constit-
utional lawyers, newspaper editors, had
been speaking and writing on the ques-
ton of the self-extension of the Constitu
ton to the territories, and Congress had
been enacting laws for hundred years
on the theory that, under the Constitu-
ton, its power to legislate for the terri
tories was supreme. The circuit court,
member somewhere between the tail
and the head of the judicial dog, had
decided that the Constitution does not,
by its own force, extend to the territor-
les, and the head of the judicial system
was soon to pass upon this question.
Thereupon this single member of an
inferior court of sixty judges becomes
80 agitated by the din of discussion and
the congressional supremacy heresy that
though the constitutional question was
not before him, he had to speak, lest" &C.
quiesence might be inferred from 81
lence." 1t would seem, even to a casual
observer, that there had been also, "such
amplitude of argument" on the autom-
attic side of this contention as to have
eased Judge Lochren's burdened mind
and relieved him entirely from his sell
imposed duty of breaking silence and
making a spectacle of himself.
The district court occupies about the
same position in the national Judicial
system that the city court does in the
State system. In this matter of Judge
Lochren's dictum, it is as if the ques
ton of the constitutionality of the Law
regulating the sale of liquors and pun
ishing drunkenness were under consid
Grafton in this State, and judge OF
city court, in a case of common
drunk before him, should go out of his
way to deliver an address against the
constitutionality of the prohibitory
law. In the one case the city cour
judge would render himself no NOR,
ridiculous than the United States judg,
appears in the other, his opinion
would have no greater importance, o.
be entitled to no greater consideration

Tribute.

Because my body turned a clod,
And Death sat on this shrouding sod,
Ny soul rose upward, seeking God.
20 Thou who makest time to fleet
Before Thy holy judgment seat,
Lo, here l stand with muted feet.
"In that far bower where roses spring
And little birds are choiring,
I found no sacrifice TO bring.
"Only my heart, this bleeding spot
By Thee conceived, by Thee begot-
Where worm of hunger dieth not.
Take it. o Lord! a scarlet stain
To set within Thy robe of pain,
And make Thee dream of earth again."

Senator Fairbanks of Indiana, on his

Republican convention, said: "The
Democrats thought few weeks ago
that Indiana would be debatable

Republican party would split over the

entered campaign with brighter pros
poets. The State is very loyal to Nc

Rev. G. M. Sheldon received SIS 600
from the profits of the Topeka Capital,
during the week Of his recent editorship.
OF this sum he has given 81 COO for the
Indian famine sufferers and the re-
mainder is bestowed, in sums of from
$50 to $1,000, on various charitable,
benevolent and reformatory institutions
and associations in Topeka. And yet
only mercenary motives were imputed
to Mr.. Sheldon, even by preachers of
the gospel, for engaging in that news
paper enterprise. No prudent insur-
ance company would take risk on the
chances of the salvation of these critics,
if they are judged, at the last great
day, as they judged Mr.. Sheldon. A
dip in the birthstone, however, might
cure their fault. Their error may have
been no deeper than professional pique.
Among the delegates to the Populist
convention at Cincinnati was Mrs. Lu-
ma E. Kelli of Hartwell, Neb., the edi-
tor of the Prairie Home, Populist
newspaper and an ardent advocate of
Populism. She was the only woman
delegate in the convention, carried her
baby in her arms and demanded dec
laration in favor of universal suffrage.
She was in all the discussions in the
corridors of the hotel and spoke her
sentiments with the assurance of an
old-time politician. Mrs. Kelli is the
wife of Nebraska farmer. Western
women Of populistic tendencies have
insisted that the "middle-of-the.road-
ers" snail declare for universal suffrage
and Mrs. Kelli is at Cincinnati as the
representative of these women.

there are others more worthy of the
same. But certainly in his present at
utude all republicans should unite in
opposing his well known ambition.
What have said about the unionists'
organization ! think could be as we'll
said about any organization that at
tempts to wreck the republican party
Of Delaware. In the present somewhat
confused condition OF Delaware poll
ties designing men see an opportunity
to build political power on a middle
ground. There being no intrinsic
wrong in the republican orgapization
Of Delaware. this effort to establish a
new mans party is a vicious an as
lsault on party integrity as the schemes
Of Mr. Addicks. The projectors of this
new mans party must believe that the
Addicks movement is right, or that the
Addicks movement is wrong. II they
believe the Addicks movement is right
their proper place Is in the Addicks
column. II they believe the Addicks
movement is wrong they commit a
grave political offense If they In any
way weaken the staunch opposition of
the Delaware republicanism to the
plans Of Addicks II / were deprived
OF the privilege of being numbered
among the Delaware republicans and
had to choose between Addicksism and
the new mans party, ] would be much
inclined TO give the palm TO Addicks-
ism. because Il Is at least. direct and
frank in It's declarations.
The past history OF the party. how
ever. justihes the observer in the be-
lief that the forces of the Delaware re-
publicans will remain unshaken. and
that the right principles of party ac-
ton will surely triumph. We know
we are right. and our duty Is to go
resolutely ahead The mature and de-
liberate Judgment OF the people will
applaud our course. We will succeed
in maintaining the integrity
OF party organization, ana
establish pertinent concord
ance between republicans here and re-
publicans in the nation. All eager for
such republicanism can unite before
the Fail elections TO secure an anti
democratic victory in Delaware. | see
no reason why. commencing with the
governor and going through the vari-
GUS offices men should not be nOmi-
mated for each position who could and
would command the vote of every man
In Delaware, anxious to prevent demo-
cratic victory. II calm and prudent
counsels prevail there Is no reason
why selections Of candidates for offices
should not be made IN a way 10 allay
political rancor and secure party sue
cess. That desired aim can be obtain
ed n men seriously desire to obtain IT,
without sacrificing the principles OF
party organization and / believe that
at the proper time a feasible plan will
be formulated TO encompass demo
cratic defeat in Delaware.
