sympathetic Judges.
Mr.. Bryan Considers sympathy" as
Necessary as knowledge.

Necessary as knowledge.
Mr.. Bryan recently expressed the
opinion, in discussing the qualifica-
lions of the ideal judge, that sym
pathy with the people" was as neces-
sary, if not even more necessary, as
knowledge of the law in such a posi-
ton. This is about as mischievous 8
fallacy as could we'll be let loose on
a too impressionable public. We have
already quite enough sentiment in
and around the courts of this coun-
try, on the bench and in juries, and
in many instances it comes perilous-
ly near overriding the law altogether.
Mr.. Bryan, as a lawyer, proves his
unfitness for any executive position
when he asserts that a judge on the
bench ought to discount his knowl-
edge, on occasion, when sympathy
with the people" interferes with It,
OF course, the idea which Mr.. Bry-
an probably intended to convey was
that judge should not allow himself
to be swayed by sympathy with cor
porations and capitalists, and octo-
pus-fry in general. but If that was
what he meant, he ought to have said
So sympathy with the people"
seems to be twisted by him TO mean
sympathy with workingmen, farmers,
anybody who is not a millionaire;
but as a mechanic whose tools are
words, he should use his words more
accurately. II is just as absurd TO
talk about sympathy being part of
the duty of judge as 30 say that an
accountant ought TO have sympathy
for the multiplication table, or part
of the multiplication table. The
judges duty is to understand the law
and see that it is interpreted as It
stands, not to put a sympathetic in
depreciation on 1t for anybody's ben
eft.

The New York Democratic State
convention. which is meeting in AL
bany today, is dominated, apparent
ly, by David B. Hill. Tammany
Leader Charles F. Murphy has
served notice upon the Hill men that
his organization will fight against
instructing the delegates to the st.
Louis convention to the bitter end.
His challenge viii be promptly ac-
eepted, and it is expected that the
Hill machine will roll over the Tam
many delegation and make it, in vul-
gar parlanee, feel like thirty cents.
New York's seventy-eight delegates
to the National convention, Murphy
included. Will be instructed for
Parker. The Democrats OF the En-
pire State, like their Republican
brethren. do not love to dwell in har-
mony too long. They must have a
shindy once in a while. And they
seem to have it now, sure enough.

In the city of Nagoya, in Japan, on
Friday last, there Was a great pro-
cession- A thousand white lanterns
were carried for the souls of the dead
Russians. The bearers were preced-
ed by banners inscribed: I'VE sor-
row unquenchably for the brave Rus
sian admiral" This morning comes
dispatch from st. Petersburg, which
says that, replying to a question by
the Car as TO why he was not taking
any prisoners, General Kashtilinski,
commanding the Russian forces at
the Yalu, telegraphed: 4 don't find
it convenient to keep prisoners, as I
am not we'll supplied with rope"
The story, as far as the Car is con-
cerned, is probably a fake" Let us
hope it is. The fact, however that il
could come out of St. Petersburg at
all at this time is characteristic of
the difference which marks a self
styled civilized" nation and one
which it calls semi barbarous.
