JUSTICE OF SUPREME COURT.

JUSTICE OF SUPREME COURT.
The president on his return to
Washington will, no doubt, name a
man for the place on the supreme bench
made vacant by the death uf Justice
Rufus ". Peckham New York. 1t is
intimated that the president will
probably name a democrat, the de-
ceased jurist being of that political
faith. 1t really does not make any
difference as to what the politics of
the appointee may be so long as he has
the legal ability, broadness of view
and moral courage to decide Justly
regardless of public clamor or extran-
eous influences. 1t can be said to the
credit of our federal supreme court
that partisanship has never Influenced
it's judgments ON constitutional ques-
tions. 1t can be truthfully said, that
the supreme court is really the bull.
wark of our liberties and it is import
ant that only men of high legal at
tainments and patrioric Ideals be ap-
pointed to the supreme bench, and We
are confident the president will make
40 mistake in making choice.

THE ELECTION TUESDAY.

The election Tuesday throughout the
country where elections were held,
demonstrated that the reform wave
has spent it's force and is losing it's
hold with TIE masses, who have
made the discovery that the men who
talk "reform' have proven deceptive
and the reforms advocated were in a
large measure only to help dema-
gogues into office and as a general
thing augment the taxes. The general
result, however shows, that the demo-
ocrats have made gains. which does
not count for much as this is an off
year and but little interest taken IN
results. In many localities, the pupu-
laritv of individuals, rather than
the party they represented, was a po-
tent influence in shaping results. In
New York city. after fierce cam.
paIgn, TammaHy succeeded in electing
u democratic mayor, beca1se the oppo-
sltion was divided, but lost every
thing else. Nebraska went republi-
can by u reduced majority and Bryan
lost his precinct, city and county.
Only one thing is to BIZ regretted,
and that was the defeat of Francis
Henry in San Francisco for prosecut-
ing attorney, the grafters being too
numerous for him and the outcome
shows that the man who does his duty
as public official fearless and we'll,
has nothing to expect from the voters
but defeat.
