Rumors are persistent that inlin-
entail Democrats. and New York cap
italists are planningtO stampede the
st. Louis convention and nominate
Mr.. Cleveland, whether he expresses
his willingness to accept the nnmi-
nation beforehand or not. There is
little doubt to our mind that the eX-
President would accept the nomlna-
ton il it were rendered him. No man
has ever yet refused nomination OF
either OF the twO great parties oil the
country, and in spite OF Mr., Cleve-
lands repeated denial that he is a
candidate for the honor, tits hard to
presume that his long retirement TO
private life has entirely destroyed has
political ambitions. Considered from
the standpoint OF the probable sue
c,ss OF the Democratic ticket, he is
perhaps, all things cG&sidered. the
strongest candidate the st. Louis
convention could nominate, and after
all, success and the defeat OF Roose-
Welt is the end and aim ofthe DemOc
racy OF the country at this time. In
the North and East Grover Cleveland
Is far and away the strongest posi-
BILE candidate. Financial interests
OF that section would rally around
him and give him such support as
they would accord tono other candi-
date, Democrat OF Republican.
Roosevelt will carry Il majority OF
the Western States against any nom
inee OF the st. Louis convention,
while Cleveland stands as good il not
a better chance OF carrying the Mid
die Western States than any one SO
far mentioned. As to the South, Mr.,
Cleveland is probably the most an
popular nominee among the Demo
cratic masses theSt. Louis gathering
could choose, but it is extremely
doubtful whether his unpopularity
there would affect the electoral vote
OF a single State. Indeed il may BE-
safely counted on that as against
Roosevelt and the Chicago cOnyen-
tion platform with its ''negroplank'
the solid South can be relied on to
cast its solid electoral vote for any
uumfnee the ~. Louis convention
may choose. Indeed there is every
reason to believe that Mr.. Cleveland
can be elected if he is nominated, and
she same cannot be said OF most OF
the other probable nominees.

for contempt OF court, on account OF
editorial criticism of the Judge in his
paper. in favor OF Daniels and releas-
ing him from custody, will not only
meet with the approval OF the press

the people will approve it. Aside
from the constitutional provision

the general legal prohibition against
the exercise of the summary proceed
inSs OF contempt, except when the
offence or act interieres OF tends TO
interfere with the orderly proceedings
OF the court, which seem to determine
che question involved, the decision is
a wholesome rebuke to q Judge who
is small enough to go out oihis way,
and by summary proceedings III
tended only to secure and maintain
orderly conduct of his court, seeks to
avenre what he considered IA person
al insult to himself. Ii the articles

Gus, the Judge had his remedy with
out undertaking To be the arbiter OF
his own case. Editor Daniels may
have gone too far in his criticisms,
as editors sometimes do in criticism
OF public officials, and in such in
stances they should, in NEST cases, be
the object Of silent contempt OF the
official attacked. but in the large
majority OF cases they only indulge
in such wholesome criticism ms Is
likely 10 have a restraining influence
upon public officials and to hold
them to strict accountability.

CAN cRITIclsE JUDGES
U. S. Circuit Court UphoIds Editor
Daniels, of Raleigh, N. c,

OanlelS, OF hdleiQnI M "
AshevilIe. n. c.. June 80. - Judge
]. C.. Pritchard, of the United States
circuit court, filed his opinion in the
case of Josephus Daniels. editor of
the Raleigh News and Observer, who
had been hned $4,000 for contempt of
court by District Judge PurnelL The
case came up on a writ Of habeas cor
pus sued out by Mr.. Daniels, who re-
fused TO pay the fine and was ordered
committed.
Judge Pritchard's opinion is care
full and comprehensive review of the
law as applied to newspaper utter
ances that might be construed as con-
tempt of court Among other things
he says.
THAT newspapers sometimes engage
in unwarranted criticism of the courts
cannot be denied. In some instances
they cOnstrue the liberty of the press
as a license to authorize them to en-
gage in wholesale abuse of the court,
but these instances are rare and do
not warrant departure from the we'll
settled principles of the law as de-
clared by congress and construed by
the courts. If judges charged with the
administration of the law are not to
be criticised on account of their Off
cial conduct the liberty of the press is
abridged and the rights of individuals
imperilled.
at appears that the distinguished
judge who adjudged the petitioner TO
be in contempt of court exceeded the
authority granted in the act OF 1881,
and that the court was without juris-
dicti0n. Such being the case, judg-
ment of the court is void and there
fore nullity."
