publicity and the movement is
gathering force. 1t will be but
matter of few years when all bod

of the suspicion that lodges against

The Recall.

To the Editor: AS one who is &C
cused of being standpatter and re-
dictionary the writer would like to
offer few remarks on subject
which seems to be the principal
stock in trade of the reformers and
progressives, and that is the recall
of judges and judicial decisions. In
this undertaking age our courts
seem to be the principal target for
the abuse of the so styled reform
press. We cheerfully admit that
the judges of our courts are human
and liable to err, but that there is
such widespread corruption among
those who hold these judicial posi-
tons is not true. If we understand
the recall correctly, certain num-
Der of signatures is necessary to or
der a vote on the removal of judge
and no charges of misconduct or
corruption is necessary. Under our
present system any one accused OF a
crime has the right to be confront
ed by his accusers or If an indictable
offense he has a right to the evil
dence before grand jury who found
the indictment. But in the case Of
the recall of judges the people pro-
coed on the merest hearsay to GUST
a Judge from his position without
giving the accused a right to defend
himself. The recall of judicial de-
cisions is still worse. Without any
knowledge of the evidence and with
hazy and most imperfect knowl-
edge of the fundamental principles
of judicial procedure, the masses
are to pass on decisions Of the court.

ing of Maj. Harris brings to my
mind some "reminiscences of the wal
of the rebellion. About the goth OF
June, 1861, my company was mus
tered into the U. S. service at Clarks-
burg, W. Va. Soon after the ma
jor's regiment landed and pitched
their tents near where my company
We're camped. About that time Gen.

mand of the department of West Va.
Ny company being attached to his
body guard, marching orders were
given and I saw the majors regi-
ment strike tents and leave. don't
believe it was more than fifteen
minutes after they began taking
their tents down until the camp was
deserted They crossed a bridge on
double quick and looked to see the
bridge fall but it did not. My COM
pany received marching orders the
same day. Being somewhat indispos-
ed / was sent to the hospital and
stayed over night there. The next
morning I got permission to go out
and take a walk and / noticed a
wagon train loading up at the de-
pot, went up to see if I could get
in with them and go along. A
teamster Of the majors regiment
kindly told me that I could drive
his team and he would walk, the
distance being 80 miles. We reach
ed Buchanan safely the same day.
