make up their minds whether they
prefer William J. Bryan or AIR. Hanna
to name seven supreme court justices
to interpret the United States constitu-
ton.
We believe that every intelligent
American. whether he be the poorest
laborer or the most prosperous mer-
chant or manufacturer, would prefer
that the supreme court justices should
be named by Mr.. Bryan rather than by
Mr.. Hanna. We don't believe that
many voters, even in the Republican
party. doubt that Mr.. Hanna would be
extremely influential if not omnipotent
in the selection of the men who may
succeed Justices Gray, Fuller, Shiras.
Harlan, Brewer, Brown and White.
Everybody knows the sort of men that
Mr. Hanna would select if the choice
were left to him, and everybody knows
also what sort Of men Mr.. Bryan
would select.
The supreme court of the United
States is the greatest power for good
or evil III the nation. Yet it is only,
after all, the Judgment and integrity of
the men who select supreme court JUS
tees that the people have to rely upon
There Is no need TO discuss the sort
of men that Mr.. Hanna would select
for the supreme court. Even if he act

worst possible thing for the country.
since his view of the nations welfare
is based on the belief that courts and
laws should tend to make the rich free

NTY no
preme CORTLAND every fair minded
man knows it perfectly well-the
ablest interpreters of constitutional

guided solely by the desire to put upon
the supreme bench men worthy of the
highest judicial Office i'll the world.
If such men should interpret the con-
stitution SO as TO permit OF an income

Mr.. Bryan would undoubtedly be glad
of it.
But it is impossible for moment to
think that he would ask in advance
the opinion of any man whom he might
appoint or accept any pledge. He
would select the ableSt available Amer
lean iuriStS. He would certainly not
select men who had spent their lives as
paid legal clerks of trusts or corpora
tons. He would select honorable
American statesmen accustomed to
look upon the constitution as the ma
tons great defender and not accus-
toned to look upon it as an obstacle to
be overcome In the service of bride
giving trusts and mOnopolies.
II You want Bryan to nominate the
Justices of the supreme court. vote
for Bryan.
If you want Hanna TO nominate the
Justices of the supreme court, vote

She brings also the report of tue
drowning of Captain Gilley, a noted
Alaskan explorer, whose good or bad
fortune it was TO have killed five North
ern Indians some years ago while they
were trying to take forcible possession
of vessel OF which he was master.
Gilley was captain OF the sailing
schooner Edith, which, with f. Scott
Morrison and Edward Foregren, as pas.
sengers, sailed from Nome, August s.,
for Siberia on trading aud prospect
ing expedition. They had enlisted the
services of an Indian named Sam to
pilot them to Siberian shores, where
they arrived the Friday following their
departure. That afternoon was passed
in making exchanges with the natives,
who appeared to be both friendly and
peaceable. About 10 O'Clock at night,
Morrison retired to his stateroom, and
few moments later shots from ashore
were heard. The reports had hardly
subsidized when Morrison exclaimed
"l've been shot" His shipmatet
hurried to his assistance. They found
that the bullet had penetrated the side
OF the schooner and stateroom, enter
ing Morrison's groin. A few minutes
later the vessel set sail for American
shores, but Morrison succumbed to his
! injuries at s o'clock the next morning
The next day, when in the vicinity

Nome. Captain Gilley went on deck ant
seated himself ON the rail of the yes
sci. A second later the boom swung
around, striking him. He topplet
over into the sea and drowned before
assistance could reach him. His bod.
was recovered. Foregren assumed
command of the Edith, and, with th'
aid of Sledge island Indian, succeed
ed in reaching Nome in safety. Nor

There was no opposition to the Demo-
