Inc NO0hccs IN the FOl1ce Courts.
Il seems rather late in the day for the
City Magistrates, in solemn conferences
assembled, to vote to put up notices in
their courts informing the public OF this
town in all its multitudinous tongues
that justice is free. For years it has
been notorious that justice, as dispensed
in the courts over which the Magis-
trates preside, comes high to the public
and to those 30 unfortunate as to be
obliged to appear before them. In
Brooklyn the traffic in favors has per-
haps been more open in certain courts
than it has been in Manhattan, but even
the most unsophisticated Magistrates
must have known Of the barter and sale
that went on everywhere about them
unrebuked and unnoticed.
With the resources at their command
the Magistrates could easily break up
tho trade If they set seriously about
the task. They would not find IL neces-
sary to hang any notices TO the walls.
All that would be necessary would be
the prosecution Of few shysters. A
dozen sharp practitioners Of the law
inside cells would be q more effective
remedy for the evils that exist than any
number Of fpolyglot placards on the walls
Of the court rooms.

was ouotsd- at almost a-tictiar'a bushel
in November, and at the farm the years
crop was valued at S725, ,OOO, 900; while
hay was worth S66S 900, 900, oats sAOO, 900, :
600, potatoes S2I2 900 900, and tobacco
about 500, 1000, 900. It is not easy to
stand up against the figures OF the
farmers output in dollars and oompre-
hend them.
When Mr.. WILSON begins to deal with
economies the row begins. OF course
the farmer ought TO have received a
share of the higher beef prices on the
hoof and at tho farm, but it might seem
he has been outwitted and imposed upon.
The consumer, however, has Jared
worse, and the less he can pay the more
he pays proportionately for his meat.
According TO the Secretary, low grade
beef costs the consumer much more
relatively than high grade beef costs the
man who can afford porterhouse. Per
hape, we are told, "it is a safe infer
ence that the poor people pay nearly
twice as much profit as the well to do
people pay" Apparently there is no
perhaps about it. In a general way in
quiries in fifty cities showed that the
average gross retail cost OF beef to oon-
sumers exceeded the wholesale cost IS
per cent. The increase ranged from II
per cent. in Baltimore to 60 per cent in
Mobile. This seems to absolve the
wholesale dealer-seems, we say; and
Mr.. WILSON explains that the retail
delivery service is costly and the busi-
ness generally overdone, which might
justify the conclusion that il there were
fewer retailers beef would be cheaper.
However, the retailer is to be heard from.
Not even FOSTER DWIGHT CoBURN's
Helpful Hen" saves the retailer from
contumely.
II the farmer does not get his share of
the higher prices of beef, what does
Tama JIM mean by this conclusion:
There has been q tendency of the animals and
crops OF the farm to Increase In value per unit At
tho farm st faster rate than all commodities have
Increased at Wholesale"
The farmer should explain. Not only
does he produce voluminously, but he
obtains high prices for his crops and
beasts. The wholesaler does very well,
and the retailer Is accused Of squeezing
the consumer, who is done" by about
every dealer in the necessaries OF life.
The horn Of plenty gushes and he pays,
pays, pays. And a. he foots the bill the
Secretary Of Agriculture shrieks in his
ear that there never were such crops and
the farmer is getting top prices for his
products. And we are told that the
tariff victimizes the farmer more than

'Seate.r 8 The Evening Posi speaks OF
STEFHRN j. FTKLD as entering the ySu-
prone Court at a., HORACE GRAY ut 5s,
and DAVID j. BREWER at 81; but this
statement conveys an incorrect impress
sion unless we know that these Judges
had already rendered years Of judicial
service in their respective States, Cali
forrfa, Massachusetts, and Kansas. In
addition to Justice BREWER, men,
bers of the Supreme Court as it is now
constituted who have seen previous
judicial service are Justice HOLMES of
Massachusetts,, Justice DAY Of Ohio
and Justice MCKENNA Of California.
The late Justice PECKHAM when ap-
pointed to the Supreme Court Of the
United States had been on the bench in
New York since 1883, first rs Supreme
Court Justice and then as an Associate
Judge OF the Court Of Appeals.
The point which we desire to empha-
size is this: The fact that man is over
sixty years OF age ought not to debar
him from appointment to the national
court OF last resort il he is a lawyer Of
conspicuous ability and adequate judi
cial experience. Such q man is capable
OF rendering the highest service, and
that is what the people want in that
tribunal and what they are entitled to
have, The length OF time during which
no viii be able to serve the people Is not
a matter of controlling importance; it
10 enough that he is the best man now.
There will be plenty Of others available
for appointment when such Judge re-
tires, meanwhile the greatest judicial
ability procurable will have been de-
voted TO the public welfare.
In searching for a successor to Justice
PEcKHAM, therefore, the purpose Of the
President should be to find the Judge
whose combined ability and experience
give most promise that he will serve the
people best to-day-not necessarily for
ten or twenty years to come. The Su-
preme Court 1t Washington should not
be q school for young or middle aged
Judges. or course IL you can find a
genius like MARSHALL or a master in
legal requirements like STORY you can
safely appoint him out Of hand, notwith-
standing his lack Of experience: but a.
ordinary mortals 60. the course which
We have suggested is the wise and
proper course TO pursue.

To Parents.

Fathers and mothers rarely stop to
figure how much boy or girl loses by
staying out of school just for one day.
They think it is only one day lost which
can easily be made up. But it means
far more than that. Suppose man and
boy are riding in buggy at the rate
of ten miles an hour. The whip is
accidentally dropped and three minutes
afterward it is missed. The boy jumps
out and walks back after the whip at the
rate of three milesan hour; after recover
ing it he returns to- the waiting rig and
climbs in and STARTS off. Query, how far
would the buggy have been from that
spot if the horse had continued ON at the
same rate The answer if worked out
may surprise you. There is also this
difference in the two cases, when the
boy climbed back in the buggy, he at
once took up the whole motion given by
the horse. but when he returns to his
class, he is IN the condition of chasing
the buggy which has never stopped and
which is, several miles, ahead of him
Think it over Pembina PARENTS. The
