THE PEoPLE AND TIE JUDGES.

The PEOPLE AND The JUDGES.
The effort of Hon. Pat Murphy, Of
the sixteenth congressional district, to
procure congressional cognizance of
the interference OF the federal courts
with the execution Of state laws regu-
Iating railroad rates, is likely to lead TO
serious steps inside and outside of
Congress. The lawyers Of the St,
Joseph bar have appointed commit
tee to investigate the reflections which
have been made upon the official 1ec-
ord Of Judge John F. Phillips, Demo
cratic jurist, appointed judge of the
district court for the western district OF
Missouri by former President Cleve-
land. This action was taken to safe
guard the -eontut:on ci the jcrist and
to protect his court from any suspicion
or prejudice which the remarks made
about him in Congress and in the news
papers might create, but it also con-
templates proper steps in case the
charges and insinuations ahoat are found
to be justified. The attitude and the
judicial orders of Judge Smith Nc
Pherson, of the federal bench, in the
railroad rate cases will be Investigated
also, but by different methods, perhaps.
The people are very jealous OF the
rights of a sovereign state to make
and to enforce just laws, and are not
friendly toward the Intervention OF
federal courts in the Interpretation or
enforcement of such laws except
where it becomes imperative. This
feeling against the interference of the
federal with the state courts is not en-
couraged as long as the federal tribun-
ais seek only to do exact justice to al
parties concerned. It is natural, how
ever, for the people to demand the
cleanest, fairest and most righteous
proceedings possible when the federal
courts are brought into matters pend
ing In the state courts. Il federal
judge oversteps the bounds OF his All
thority or underestimate the rights Of
the state and her courts, he may ex-
pect the severest criticism, if not anita
gonism.
While Republicans have charge of
the execution of state laws and are On
guard 20 protect the rights of the peo-
pie, things must go right OF somebody
viii know the reason why. Governor
Hadley being lawyer of distinction

STUCK TO THEIR PLATFORM.

Al politicians recognize the duty Of
carrying out the party platform, but
they may differ SIS to what Interpretation
should De put upon platform declara-
tions.
The Democratic plattoTtn Of last
year demanded regulation Of the liquor
traffic. Some OF the Democratic sena-
tors adopted strict regulations for the
little bar room they maintained near
the Senate chamber. Every patron
carried key, and the negro barkeep-
er kept watch to see that none but
statemen entered, and that an orderly
house was kept at all times. There
were no games, no throwing Of dice or
other device to determine who should
pay for the drinks the drinks were
free to al who were permitted to en-
ter the well-reg gulated little saloon.
The barkeeper was paid by the state,
there was no license to be paid by
anybody, and no petition to be signed.
The bar was simple, and the liquors
were not displayed so as to create a
thirst. It was hightoned, quiet and
orderly resort, such as the Democratic
platform contemplates. 1t saved the
oyerworksd watchmen on the to.ers Of
tried and true Democracy from footing
it to the Madison House bar every
time they felt the need Of Democratic
inspiration amidsfip.
The most notable effect of this quiet
senatorial drinking place was mani
tested il the readiness and thorough
ness of some of the senators in put
ting to death every dran1shop, local
option or prohibition proposition that
invaded the Senate committee rooms
or else to write and report for such bills
substitutes equally IS good" which,
by the way, were lost On the calendar
always. That Senate bar was good
investment for somebody.

SWAPPING HORSES.

Monday, May "a, the St. Louis Re-

Senator Oliver, one of the Democratic
partisans who led the fight on Gov
ernor Hadley in the State Senate, in
which he sought to answer the gov

made by the House Republicans and
Senate Democrats. The Oliver out
break was in bad taste and worse form,
but the Republic endorsed it editorially.

FIRE AT COTTONWOOD
BIG MILL OF M. L.. BLACKMAN IS
 DESTROYED.
Loss is Hstimated at eB,OOO with 93,O0o Insurance-Plant VIII No Doubt Be Re-
 bullt

Cottonwood. Feb. 24.-tSpecial.)- This morning about o'clock, fire broke out at the mill of NJ. L. Black man. and before it was discovered, the mill and fine ginnery close by were mass of flames.
 H. J. Hardy and B. E. Cox. who had charge of the mill, were the first to arrive and found that 1t was Inn possible to check the flames, and their efforts were directed to saving adja- cent property. Had the wind been coming from any other direction, the loss would have been much greater; if from the east, possibly the entire business section would have burned, as the town has no way of fighting [ fire except by buckets.
 The loss will fall almost entirely on M. L. Blackman, owner of the mili and gin. The property burned was worth $5.o00. with $s,000 insurance.
 L. P. Carroll and Malone-Goff Mer- canti1e Company had ten tons of fer tiixers stored on the grounds, which was destroyed.
 The mill gave employment to about fifty men, was built three years ago. and was one of the largest in this sec ton. It will probably be rebuilt at an early date.
