AN ARsuRn oPrN1oN,

With the greatest respect Tor the courts and the Judges who preside over them Is also coupled the right of respectful criticism. Judges are not infailible. nor are their opinions invariably free from error. For example. there was lately de- cided in the Supreme Court of Tennes- see an appeal in a case of manslaughter, the judges affirming the verdict of the court below. with the decision we have nothing to do. except one part of 1t. and that was where 1t alluded to hip-pockets and declared that ''such pockets should be prohibited by law, and that it should he made a felony for tailor to put oEt in a mans trousers
 This is the portion of the opinion that is open to criticism, and for which the court has no warrant in law or reason. If, as Sir Edward Coke expressed 1t, Reason is the life of law" then we may with equal trut happily 1t to the learned judges who interpret the law. By what process of reasoning can Q jaw be made and enforced which shall have for its object the regulation of a mans clothes? for that Is what 1t amounts to-. If the law can punish tailor for put ting in a hip-pocket 1t can with equal justice punish him for putting in any other kind of pocket, either in trousers or in any other garment. Hip-pockets are universally used in mems trousers and there could be no more justice or good sense in outlawing them than there would be in outlawing the straps on the back.
 The argument that hip-pockets should be outlawed because bad men carry their pistols there is absurd. For one man who thus carries a pistol there are thous- ards who never use them for such pur- poses. shali the thousands be dlscom- moded because one hides a pistol: Nor is that all, for the bad men do not al- ways use their hip-pockets as arsenais. Many use the breast-pocket, and others shove the pistol down in the ordinary pocket where it will be more easily come at in real or fancied emergency. The law might just as well say that a man shall not have pockets in any part of his clothing because in one of them he might carry dangerous knife. a pair of brass knucks. or some other dangerous weap- on. In fact, the law might with as much sense prohibit pocket-books. because one could carry counterfeit money in them.
 It is perfectly idle to suppose that the pistol habit and the consequent homi- cides can be suppressed by making war on the pockets. If the courts and the lawmakers really wish to stop the prac- t1ce of carrying concealed pistols they can do 1t by imposing a penalty which will be efTectual. The alternative of a fine or Imprisonment almost without ex- ceptIon results in the imposition of a fine which the law-breaker or his friends will pay and that ends 1t. If the pen alty. were both fine and prison the prac- tice would not be so popular. Abolish ing or prohibiting pockets is a genuine absurdity.

 As a Congressman he has been a total and laughable failure. Thus far he has not cast a single vote in the House. nor made a speech, nor made a point of or- der, nor moved to adjourn.

New York and tha Nomination

Chicago Chronicle (Dem)
 With New York instructed for some body else, the nomination of MT. Cleve- land Is unlikely. If New York shall instruct for Judge Parker 1t will devolve upon the Cleveland men to find out ex- actly what he stands for If they can. Something besides David B. Hill's in dorsement should be necessary to secure Democratic nomination this year.

Senator A. P. German.

Savannah (Ga.) News. (Dem,)
 From the way in which the political presents itself 1t wouldn't be at all strange if Senator German should be the choice of the Democratic party for Prcsi- dent. As stated, much depends upon the outcome of the contest between the Democratic factions in New York. If Tammany wins there will be an iln- mediate and a very great improvement in the prospects of Senator German.
