New Hartford, Jan. lS.--The amount

Hartford during 1899 foots up over S31,
900. which should be considered an ex

Omaha Bee: The ,conserva tive tenden-
cles of j. Sterling Morton are manifested
again in his paper, the Conservative, in
which he declares without Disguise or
quibhling. that he does not believe in an
elective judiciary. The Conservative
leads up to this expression of opinion by
noting, as an argument for changing the
constitutional framework of our Judi

and dangerous as an inferior lot of law

put our Judiciary upon an appontive
basis The pro and con of the elective
versus the appontive judiciary has been
threshed over and over since the begin
ming OF the republic, and the drift has
been rather toward reliance upon elec>
tions than toward their abolition.
The advantages of stable Judiciary
and of removing the judges as far as
possible from the influence of public
clamor are conceded. but the dangers of
absolute independence are generally re-
garded as far greater. 1t is scarcely
less imperative that we should have gov
ernors of brains, character ACQUIRES
ment and reputation than it is to have
judges possessing the same qualifica-
tons, but no one would propose that we
give up the election to our executives be-
cause occasionally, nominating conven-
tons make mistakes or the ballot-box
goes aWry. To give the naming of judges
to men themselves named by political
conventions rather than have them
named by the convention direct, gives
no assurance that we would have better
ADLER or more conscientious judicial off,

fore, so fas as it relates to the makeup
of the state judiciary, we will do we'll to
leave the method of selection and the
term of office undsturbed and to confine
our efforts to the enlargement of the
number of the judges, and, possibly, the
creation of an intermediate court of ap-
peals, with the reasonable increase OF
judicial salaries, without inviting Il
storm of controversy over the elective
principle.

: THE DIAMOND 9

The past week has been busy one in
baseball, says the Cincinnati Enquirer
A bitter war is imminent, and both fac
tions seem to be preparing for long
and bloody battle. Andrew Freedman
has buried him tomakaWk and is pulling
tooth and toe nail with the other Ma
tional League magnates against Ban
Johnson and the others interested in the
American League. The coming season
will no doubt be most memorable one
in a baseball way, and the experiences
OF the Brotherhood year, when every
body interested in the national game
lost money. may be repeated. Both the
National and American Leagues are
putting up a bold front, and it is rather
difficult to foretell what is in store for
the future. Unless an arnistice is soon
declared the rupture between the two
leading baseball organizations will be
so broad that it can never be healed. In
the war that is bound to follow there
may be lively scramble for talent. a
boosting of salaries that will make it
impossible for the club owners of either
faction to discover balance on the
right side of the ledger at the close of
1901. No one at present seems disposed

to extend the olive branch. and Il con-
iiiet that will shake the baseball world
tlom center to circumference seems in
evitahle. The players may be benefited
and they may not. If next year should
prove disastrous to the maSnates in a
nnanclal way there Will no doubt be a
further pruning of salaries. and in the
end the men who earn their bread and
butter on the diamond may be the losers
President Johnson is still bold and de
hant and SCOTS at the idea of the Ma
t!onal League being powerful enough to
wipe the American off the face of the
earth on the other hand the National
League magnates are mapping out Il
plan Of campaign which they think will
remove the Johnson crowd from the face
OF terra fjrma. 1t is a lovely situation.
and much history was made last week
a the Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York.
Johnson was hauled over the Goals in a
Workmanlike manner. and what was said
about him by the big league moguls
would not do to print. The American
League fellows who are With Johnson to
a man are keeping a stiff upper lip and
saying unkind things about the men
who have grown rich in the National
League. New minor leagues are being
planned and every city that is likely to
support a fast team is talked about in
connection With the various prospective
minor organizations. In summing up the
situation one must admit that the COM
ing baseball season Will be as lively as
cricket on the hearth. Each major
organization will leave nothing undone
to annoy and harass the other. and it is
hard to tell what the outcome will be.
