SUPREME COURT POLITICS.

\ HAPPY CIRCUMSTANCE in con-
4 neetion with the Republican state
convention at ogden tomorrow is that
II will put a stop to the unseemly spec
tacle of two candidates for the SUI
preme judgeship nomination running
political pins. To most voters there is
something extremely distasteful about
reducing the Judiciary 10 the low level
OF partisan politics. Especially is this
true when so high and so honorable
a position as judge of the supreme
court is involved
II there is any Office which. more
than any other Office. should seek the
man. that office is a supreme judgeship.
Those who hold it. as well as those who
aspire to IL. should be free from any
faint Of partisanship. They cannot be
free from this If they engage in undig-
nifed scrambles for preferment. Judges
are only men. after all. They must
make enmities and incur obligations
when they barter and trade for delegate
votes, when they round up their adher-
ents at primaries and in conventions
In the very nature of things they
carry their enmities with them 20 the
bench, and the justice which should be
blindfold often allows the bandage to
slip so that al least one eye Is clear.
The courts should know neither friend
nor enemy neither Republican nor
Democrat nor Populist nor Socialist.
They should be absolutely unbiased.
impartial. fair. Their opportunities for
good or evil are practically unlimited
and for this reason the greatest care
should always be exercised in the Sc
lection of nominees by any party.
And the ablest men should be Sc
lected. too. whenever they will permit
the use Of their names. So far as The
Herald knows. the candidates before
the Republican convention will average
lp fairly well with the present mem
bers Of the supreme court. but that is
not the question. The salvation of the
judiciary in this country lies in its re-
mOval from politics altogether.

They are the criminals who gave the
brides, the rich corporation agents in
the shell of respeetability who tempted
these men 10 sell their eternal souls for
money. ST. Louis cannot purge herself
OF this scandal until she brings these
men 10 justice. In cases like this the
bribe-giver is worse than the bribe-
taker. He is the representative of. a
rich corporation that wants TO be fur

public.
The bribe- taker. on the other hand,
is nearly always a poor man. 10 whom
$1,000 seems a fortune. Unless he is
more than ordinarily blessed with
moral courage. il is not so hard for
him TO persuade himself that he can

HAY Fever Theories.
Hondon GIobe.)

Some recent scientific investigations on
the subject in Germany have not added
very much to our knowledge as to the
causes OF the disease or the most eff
lectual remedy. A great many different
theories are advanced by patients as TO
the origin in their own cases. One lady
declared that she caught hay fever when
ever she happened to think of II, while
another said an attack would be brought
on by thinking of a cornfield. A third
patent asserted that ii would be pro-
duced II cats came into the room; one
has heard before today OF the sight of a
cat bringing on a fainting fit, and some
representative persons have attributed a
sWoon 10 the smell of a rose The rather
generally received opinion that the pollen
or flowers Is the cause of hay fever is
not confirmed by DR.. Thost's experiments.
The doctor is. unfortunately, unable 10

prophylactie. indeed, but some people
would think the remedy as bad as the
disease. 1t is to live in a place where
there Is no vegetation. On that account
the island of HeligOand is much resorted
10 by German sufferers. There are spots
on our own coasts where the condition is
tolerably well fulfilled. and in any case il
may be said that people who habituaIly
suffer from hay fever should take their
mondays at the seaside rather than in
the country.

ers shall realize that they are making
war upon their own rights secured by
centuries of conflicts and sacrifices, and
at the present victory Will result In de-
priving them OF all personal freedom.
Such disastrous conflicts VIII cease 10
reeur. and arbitration may then web be
invoked 10 settle local disputes
The hope OF the working classes in
the future, as in the past, for better
conditions rests upon personal liberty
and the security OF property. The Eng
disappearing miners understand this
proposition perfectly we'll, but for the
time being they are powerless in the
presence Of bad leadership and the
state of terror which prevails IN the
coal region, subjecting them TO OBJ
loquy, violence and death, by which IN
willing acquiescence is enforced.
What is wanted 10 end the destruc
tive conflict is not arbitration. but the
stern repression of violence and the as
sured protection OF the miners who de-
sire TO earn a livelihood for themselves
and their families. To this protection
they are entitled. and the government
which fails TO afford it is a reproach to
republican institutions.
The demand for arbitration comes
with an III grace from leader who
began the conflict with an order call
ing on the engineers, firemen and
pumpmen 10 abandon their task, thus
exposing the mines 20 utter ruin. II
this order had been obeyed the resump-
ton Of work would have been indeh-
nitely postponed and the helpless vic

duced to hopeless poverty.

which eommends itself to the American
people who believe in the old-fashioned
rule. that he who demands equity must

WHERE THE FARMER LANDS.

King Edward, II seems, Is not a very
keen fisherman. not half so keen as his
brother, the late Duke OF Edinburgh, or
his son, the Prince OF Wales. but it is
quite mistake TO suppose that his ma
Jesty has never taken any interest in
fishing As a youth he fished in the
Highlands, and when as Prince of Wales
he rented Abergeidie on the Dee ne used
TO fish for salmon now and then. though.

was mot awful enthusiastic" Lord
kn0llys, however. recently Informed Mr..
MarstOn that the king on one occasion
caught twenty-one-pound salmon on
the Floors Castle water on the Tweed.
As regards the queen. We have long
known that she Is a keen disciple of
lZaak Walton, as is also Princess Vic
toria, and they often fish together when
In Scotland. Her majesty has killed sal
mon in Ireland, and so deadly is the
Alexandra fly, named after her that its
use Is prohibited in many waters. The
Prince of Wales Is, perhaps, the keenest
and best angler our royal family has pro-
duced, and will spend long days on Dee
side enjoying the sport. Then the Prin-
cess Louise, Duchess Of Argyll and the
Duchess OF Fife are devoted TO angling
When in Canada Princess Louise had
grand sport with the salmon The OUCH
ess OF File has had many good days
sport on the Dee, near Mar Lodge and
spends much of her time with her chill
dren IN the enjoyment of her favorite
sport while the duke is Devastating.
Those jolly specimens of young Eng
land, Prince Edward and Prince Albert,
sons of the Prince of Wales, are, Mr..
Marston also tells US. both keen on fish
ing, and each or them caught a nice lot
OF roach with the fly recently; even little
Princess Mary was successful in landing
one. Last month the young princes tried
their hands at the trout In a Norfolk
stream, and Prince Albert (aged O. got
brace and Prince Edward (aged y half
a brace, with the fly. March Brown and
Blach Gnat. The fact that they were 20

staying at Sandringham. and a brace TO
their parents in London, afforded them
as great pleasure as the catching of the
half-pounders. They have taken as many
as fifteen or twenty roach each Of an
evening.
