AS TO A NoN-PARTIsAN JUDICIARY.

AS TO A NON-PARTISAN JUDICIARY.
In opposing the movement inaugu-
rated by the State Bar Association for
non-partisan, or bipartisan, judici-
airy. the organs of the ring ignore the
views on this subject held by the best
men and thinkers in their own party
when the Republican party was in the
minority and consequently before any
Republican ring was formed to grab
and control patronage and power.
Especially does the Parkersburg
Journal exhibit a delightful ignorance
of what transpired in the Republican
convention held in its own town in
1884 and which nominated Judge Max
we'll for Governor.
The leaders had under Consideration
resolution that but one candi-
date for Supreme Judge be named and
that the Democrats be allowed to name
the other. which was then acknowl-
edged by the best and purest leaders of
the Republican party, one of whom is
himself now a candidate for the SUI
preme Court, to be right and proper.
AT that time-when the G. O. p. was
in the minority-the best and ablest
Republicans in the State saw and ac-
knowledged the necessity for a nom
partisan Judiciary.
But how different the views of the
present bosses, who have turned down
the best element of that party! What
these old-time Republican leaders held
was right in principle and for the best
interests of the Judiciary in 1884 is all
wrong and utterly nonsensical in the
year of our Lord 1900, when the ring,
having had sweet taste of power and
patronage, desires not only to hog all
the offices, but to hold partisan control
of even the Supreme Court.

HOW TO REMIT.
THE RING CANDIDATES. LABOR
RECORD

The gubernatorial candidate of the
ring, Revenue Collector A. B. White, is
chiefly occupied now In repairing his
labor record and attempting to make
a deal with the labor leaders in the
State, by which they will receive some
thing handsome from his administra-
ton IL they will overlook Whites OPP
position to organized labor in the past,
as evidenced in several instances, and
give his record their 20. K"
Whether or not White shall succeed
in making this deal, the facts of his
record remain in black and white and
are sure to rise up and confront him
when, as Republican candidate for
Governor, he proclaims from the hus-
tings his intense and fervid love for
the workingman.
The American workingman is not
so easily deceived, however, as some
politicians seem to imagine, and he is
prone to predict mans future by his
past and to accept the acts of his
record on certain matters rather than
his smooth promises when after labor's
votes.
How much White really loves or
ganized labor may be judged from his
treatment of it in work largely under
his control. A year or so ago White
turned organized labor down and
kicked it out.
And that same organized labor has
never been aware of Mr. Whites
change of sentiment and his overflow
ing love and affection for it until he
became the slated candidate of the
ring for Governor.
1t is difficult to see how Mr.. White
can alter these facts even by a deal
with the labor leaders. He certainly
will not deceive intelligent men.

nes "a cable only dVe n the
could )laccd. II this connection,
the COM ent Of the American Fabian
on Dewey Is victory is pertinent:
Chatting the other day with young
naval officer who served with Admiral
Dewey at Manila, I ventured to ask him
If he had seen the statement Of the de-
feated Spanish commander to the effect
that the Spaniards had no defense, the
forts were nothing but sand heaps, their
one cannon was a toy their guns were
nigh useless. the men i'll paid, ill-fed, run
down, and at the close of the fight had
nothing but Mauser rifles to oppose two
ironclad battleships. In word the enemy
was decrepit and a victory over him was
not much to brag about.
1.-The young officer smiled, saying, We
knew that all the time, butt with a shrug
of his shoulder, If you people at home
wanted to make fuss over the affair,
why all right we had nothing to say.
This, however, does not at all lessen
the credit due Dewey for his splendid
handling of the situation from first to
last. That it was one-sided battle
was plain, and Dewey has never claim
ed that it was anything else. Indeed,
he was astounded at the way his Ma
Mia victory had been magnified at
home
The utter destruction of the Span
iards while Dewey's ships received
scarcely a scratch tells the tale better
than even Montejo's courtmartial reve-
lations.
And it is not Dewey, but his admir-
ing countrymen at home, who have
insisted on viewing this victory
through highly colored glasses. All of
which is excusable, since due to sur
plus of patriotic fervor.
These statements recall the surprise
with which it is said gallant Gen. Funs-
ton, of Kansas, and the regiment he
commanded received the adulation of
their countrymen on their return
home. They did not know that they
were heroes until they reached Amer
lea, having, it is said, never heard of
the acts on account of which they were
lionized. All of which is explained on
the basis that some enterprising news
paper correspondent in Manila simply
drew on his able and vivid imagination
for the facts of a good story" which
would tickle his American readers and
be sure to pass the censor without
mutilation.
Certain other veterans of the Span
ish and Philippine wars have taken
occasion to deny certain famous say
ings and doings attributed to them and
for which they lad been lionized at
home
All of which is but further tribute to
the honor, gallantry and courage Of the
American soldier, for it takes courage
of the real sort Ito refuse o-worship.

No comedy produced in recent years has
been fuller of clean and wholesome fun
than MAKE Way For The Ladies' which
was presented early in the season at the
Madison Square theatre, New York, and
had such a long and prosperous run.
Owing, however, to previous contracts,
calling for other productions at that
theatre, Mr.. Charles Frohman is obliged
to send his comedians on the road, and
they will be seen here on Friday night,
January s. at the Opera House. What is
New Yorks loss will be our theatre
goers' gain, and it is almost needless to
recommend any farce in which the lead
ing parts fall to such we'll established
favorites as E. NJ Holland and Fritz
Williams. Mr.. Holland has the part of a
henpecked husband, and Mr. Fritz Will
Jams that of a much bullied but finally
rebellious son-in-law. The court room
scene in which the advanced woman APP
pears as lawyer pleading for a divorce,
is one of the most convulsively funny sit
uations that the modern theatre has
shown.
