The letter writing episode IN
connection with the Wheeling post
Office seems about to end. 1t should
do so. 1t Is disgraceful. Any man
who would attack another In the
secret manner In which the veno'
nous attempt was made upon ].
z Hall deserves nothing better than
the contempt of a community.
While all things are considered
fair In politics, a stab In the dark
and In the back In politics Is as an
manly as the same in the body In a
dark alley would be. 1t Is coward
ly. We have no part In the Wheel

man so treacherously treated win
If for nothing else than to place a
bitter condemnation upon under

The papers In some parts of the
state are making bitter attacks up
on the judges of the supreme court
ofappeals for their failure to elect
republican CLERK TO succeed the
present democratic incumbent.
While we believe In the principle
that to the victors belongs the
spoils, and would certainly favor a
man of our own party were we not
In position to make the selection,
vet we do not think these attacks
upon the integrity of the judges of
the higher court are justified. They
may have some reason for not max
Ing the change just now OF which
we knew nothing. The secrets of
the highest judicial tribunal In the
state are presumed to be sacred,

Implies nothing as to their integri-
ty in the discharge of the duties of
their Offices, and any imputation
against the character of the court
should be avoided. We should
have that respect and regard for
the judiciary that would make US
careful about making statements
that would lower their standing In
the estimation of the masses, who
are largely led in such matters by
newspaper criticism. 1t Is sad
day In this country when
the common people lose their
confidence In the courts. We
shall then be on the highway to
anarchy.

such occurrences always come In
nice warm weather when 1t Is a

was an ideal day for an editor to
hustle after another press and

fact that the boiler will not "hold
water" for several days yet.

The morbid curiosity attached to
the Biddle boys seems undated.
From the almost frenzled attempt
to see their remains, one would
think that they had done some
great deed for the good of humanity
and for which they stood very high
In the public estimation. AS the
thousands almost reverently pass
their bier, no one would think
them to have been cold blooded
murderers and burglars-the enc
mics of society and the foes of man
kind. IF this maudlin sentiment
continues much longer, the life of a
burglar and murderer will be much
more attractive than 1t Is generally
believed to be. The one who robs
and kills will be the popular hero,
spending his last days In the full
glare of general admiration and
sympathy.
It Is time for the Biddle incident
to close. They killed Kahney and
Fitzgerald and tried to kill the
officers who took them In Butler
county. They would have killed
and robbed again If permitted to
escape. They were bad men, and
there Is a good deal that Is tiresome

lief In their innocence and expires.
