More than two hundred tmimhora
of the bar of thei Fourth judicial
district , comprising the ablest law-
yors o ( the state , have , after duo
deliberation ) made thulr selection
of candidates to (111 ( the vacancies
on the bench of this district at the comto
Ing election. Acting upon the mmp
partisan Idea the mombotvi of the Dougis
las county bar Imvo taken n now do-
parturo by also making n nomination of
a candidate for county judge.
In this respect the bar of Douglas
county has only carried to its logitlnmto
conclusion the principle of a iionpartisiui
judiciary which was Inaugurated years
ago at the instance of Titr. Hit : , and has
given such universal satisfaction , oxhi
copting possibly among the professional
ward politicians nnd disgruntled caiullas
dates.
The choice of the bar for the vacantl
clos on. the district bench has fallen
upon three lawyers who are the peers
of the most eminent momber.s of their
profession in this district.
Judge Walton , who has already
established an enviable reputation at an
impartial and oloar-headud judge , was
complimented with a nomination by unan
imous vote of the entire b.ir. In this
choice the people of this district
regardless of party will hoartlly concur ,
The selection of W. S. Curtis and
E. R. Ditlllo was made after a spirited but
yood-nnturod contest , and made unanifi
moils by the members participating.
Mr. Dullio is a lawyer of largo oxporisi
once , both at the bar and on the bench ,
Ho served two terms as judge of the
Fourteenth judicial district of Iowa , and
both times was elected by the unanimous
vote of his constituency on a nonpartisan
tickot. Mr. Curtis Is regarded us one of
the best lawyers in Omaha , with a judifi
cial hunt of mind that promises to make
him a fearless , upright and impartial oxa
poncnt of the law.
Mr. I. P. Baxter , who was nominated
for county judge by tlio Douglas county
bar , is a bright young lawyer , much
older tlnn ho looks. Ho has been cdu-
catcd in a Now York law olllco with one
of the most successful attorneys of the
Empire.state , and his associates in
Omaha commend him highly as a man
of good judgment and quick grasp uf
lognl points.
While it is true that our county judges
have heretofore boon ehoaon on party
tickets it is also true that the county
judge deals with a greater number of
litigants than any district judge. The
greater number of cases begin and end
in his court. Moreover , the county
judge is the custodian of the estates ana
legacies and is expected to bo the prot
tcctor and chief guardian of the widows
and orphans. Partisanship in such an
olllco would certainly bo out of place.
In some of the largest cities of the connr
try the judge of probate is never
changed during life and good behavior ,
It should bo so in Douglas county when
the right man is found to fill the place ,
It now remains for the party conventions -
tions to give practical recognition to the
principle of a nonpartisan judiciary by
endorsing the choice of the bar and relieving -
lioving the men who are to occupy the
district and county bench from any obligation -
gation to men who make a living out of
politics. Lot thorn feel and know that
the good will and ostcom of their asso-
elates and confidence of the people is
alone potential in making and unmaking
judges. This will bo a step in the direct
tion of judicial reform which is being
inaugurated in all sections of the eount
try in the interest of good government.
A CUNT1KUOVS bEt
It appears to bo the intention that
congtcss blmll continuo in session , in
stead of taking n recos' , in the event of
the bllvor question being disposed of
before the date of the beginning of the
regular session in Deoombor. This in
understood to bo the plan of Speaker
Crisp , who is believed to rolloct the
\visli of the president in the matter , and
tho.dcmoeratic leaders of the house are
said to concur in the viow. Air. Wilson ,
chairman of the eiinmittoo on
ways and moans , has assigned to
biiboonimittcos the various subjects
connected with the tariff upon which
hearings are to bo had , and beginning
with next Monday and continuing until
September 20 the various interests
ntToutod by the tarifl will bo given an
opportunity to bo hoard. As soon as
this part of the work of the ways and
means committee is concluded it will
otitor upon the task of framing a now
tarill bill , and it is stated that the chair
man of the committee
expects to have a
nuMiburo ready before December.
The period for obtaining information
mation and opinions from the in
dustrial interests of the country
sixteen days is rather short and
the republican members of the oominlt-
too desired that the tlmo ha extended ,
but it will probably bo found to bo sntH-
ciont , slnuo it is likely that mist of the
industrial interoits will conclude that it t
would bo a waste of time to present their
views to the committee.
Doubtless a continuous bo slnn tvill bo
satisfactory to the manufacturing intnr-
estsof the cnintry if there is insurance
that it will result
in giving the o
intorodtH an earlier knowle Igo than 1
they could otherwise obtain of Jho
scope of tariff revision that is
intended. This question is now
very generally recognized as having
a great do-il t > do with the existing de
pression Tlio closing of inil ! < and I
factories and the general i1 1 .tilniont
of industrial production are nit duo
altogether to the currency disturbance.
The uncertainty as to how far the demo i.
cratic party will go in its warfare upon
the principle of protection ha ) had and
is having a very potent inlluunce upon
the business policy of manufacturers.
It is entirely natural that thoio engaged
in enterprises atleotod by the tarltl
should prepare in advance for the
revolutionary ohangos threatened
in the democratic platform and
discount in part the now t a rill
to come , It may bo that their fears
have been exaggerated , but it is to bo
remembered that never before has the
policy of pioteetlon to American indus
tries been attacked as it was by the last
democratic national convention in the
declaration that it is unconstitutional 1 ,
and thu claim of the democracy that
this view was endorsed by the popular ,
vote nnd therefore should bo mncto of-
fcollvo In legislation was well calculated
| to create the strongest appfcficnsinu
j among these engaged In the protected
Industries. Mr. Cleveland lias shown
n desire to rollove this fear
b.v a-suraneos that no Injury
to any Industry Is contem
plated ] , but even the executive promise
is notsufllclont to entirely dissipate un
certainty and apprehension , and the
only thing that will satisfy the minds of
manufacturers as to what -they may
count on is n tariff bill coming from the
hands of the committee of congress
charged with thu duty of framing such
n measure. The industrial Interests of
the ) : country will doubtless , therefore ,
liavo no objection to the proposal to
push forward the work of tariff revision
as rapidly as possible. The sooner this
can bo accomplished the earlier will
those interests bo able to readjust thorn-
Eolvcs to the new conditions which general -
oral tariff changes will necessitate. In
the meantime congress should have no
dllllculty in finding enough important
business to koo [ ) it well employed.
xio.in.uWA
The dilllculties of the Nicaragua Canal
company < have culminated in the ap
pointment of a receiver , who is em
powered to take immediate possession of
the property and continue- the business.
Whether this will Improve the outlook
for the enterprise is a question , but it is
to bo presumed that it will bring about
some needed reforms in the management
of the business which may possibly have
the elloct to attract to the project more
favorable consideration from capitalists
than has boon shown it for several
oral years. Few great enterprises have
been started in this country under more
favorable conditions than this ono. It
was approved by the ablest engineers as
an entirely practicable undertaking ,
nnd it was strongly commendo'd to the
country on commercial , political and
patriotic grounds. It has boon shown
repeatedly , so far as figures go , that it
would bo a highly profitable enterprise
to investors. As to commercial benefits
Its possibilities were assumed to bo
beyond computation , while the advan
tages t : it would give the United
States in * Jier political relations
with the countries south of ns were
urged as of the very highest importance.
As a distinctly American project for
promoting American interests it ap
pealed \ to the patriotism of th'o country.
The enterprise got a good start. Hav
ing i received government recognition ,
the company \\asablotoseciire liberal
subscriptions to the stock. Tt proposed
to construct the canal entirely with pri
vate capital. A great deal of work has
been accomplished , involving an expen
diture of many millions of dollars and
now it Booms that the company has about
ranched the end of its resources. In
deed ] , it lias boon practically In this con
dition since it inaugurated the effort to
secure from congress the government
endorsement of its bonds. The failure
of this effort , notwithstanding the
unanimous report of the senate finance
committee in favor of the government
becoming the backer of the enterprise ,
was a botback for the company from
which it has never recovered. Some
time ago there was "promise of a
syndicate of California capitalists
subscribing $10,000,000 to carry on
the t work , but this did not nia-
t teriuli/.o , and since then little or no
effort has been made to raise additional
capital. It would bo entirely hopeless ,
of course , under existing financial con
ditions.
What the future of this enterprise
will bo cannot bo predicted withany clo-
groo of certainty. There can bo no
question that most of the considerations
urged in its favor have merit and the
probability is that in tune the canal will
bo constructed , but it may have to wait
for the more friendly concern or the
larger liberality of the next generation.
The prospect of its completion during the
present ono , if compelled to depend
on private capital exclusively American ,
is certainly not flattering. As to gov
ernment aid , the chances of scouring it
are less now than ever before and there
is no reason to suppose that they will
improve in the near future. Even if
there were not a very strong popular
hostility to the government assuming
any financial rosponiibility for under
takings of this character the condition
of the national treasury and of the pub-
lie revenues would forbid it. It looks ns
if the failure of another great canal
scheme must bo chronicled.
The Now York 6'uii tolls us that Gov
ernor Holes has sacrificed his scruples
to his party in
consenting to accept a
second ronominatlon for the governorship -
ship of Iowa. It insists that his letter
declining to permit even by his silence
the continued use of his naiuo in con1
noittlon with that olllce was intended in i
all sincerity , but simply mistaken in the
ii-niunptioii that the Iowa democrats did
nut want him to Imvo a third term. For
Iliuiing out his mistake and preferring
to horvo his party rather than preserve
the dull merit of eon&lbtoney it thinks
that ho is deserving ot the highest
praibo.
Lint the 9iw lots Ihu cat out of the
bag and bhows how great a Hacrlfico
Governor Holes has made when it Bays ;
"It is well Known that Hon. Iloraco
Buios did not wish to bo for the third
time a candidate for governor of Iowa ,
His ambition is for a seat In the ponato ;
and if dreams of 180(1 ( hover before his
eyes , who can bhuno him ? " Of course it
is well known that Holes did not care
particularly to bo oleetod gov-
ornor for a third time , nor
does ho care for the governorship now.
Ills ambition is btill for the bonatorship.
What made him apparently sacrifice his
scruples to his party was nothing loss
than thu fact that he had boon made to
believe that ho could Use a third clou-
tion as governor as a stepping stone to
the senate. The ttchomo as planned is
expected also to boost another good
democrat into the scat no\y occupied by
Governor Doles. Bestow , uovrcliouton-
atit governor , was the boeond strongobt
candidate before the democratic uonvon-
tion. Ho was only mudo to ho satisfied

publicans have only to see that both
Boles and Bestow bo promptly sacrificed
nt the polls next November.
CmcAaohusu jewel in Judge Goggln ,
who has just refused to dissolve the
Stein injunction restraining the World's
fair directors from closing the gates on
Sundays. Judge Goggln has baon ele
vated to the bench , and ho dooa not pro
pose to have his elevation diminished by
anything that in his opinion would cause
the people to lose confidence in the judi
ciary. In support of his contention ho
had no compunction about kicking out
two of his associates whom ho had
called to assist him , but whom ho found
would disagree with him. Ills arbitrary
antics cannot tail to do moro to cause the
people to loao confidence in the judiciary
than a do/.en dlssjlutions of restraining
orders. It is reassuring to bo told that
Judge Goggin was not laboring under
the influence of intoxicating liquor
when ho created this extraordinary
scone in his court.
COLORADO politicians propose to starta
a now party , whoso solo aim shall be the
aggrandizement of Colorado and the
silver inino owners at the oxnonso of
the remainder of the United Statps. It
is possible , though not probable , that
new political parties may ivriso from
time to time , but to maintain an exist
ence they must bo founded on some
general principle or demand. No nar
row basis , such as has been proposed for
the so-called "Colorado" or "silver"
party , can secure adherents throughout
.ho country. This move , like many
others that have originated in the Cen-
.ennial state , is evidence only of the
nndness to which the silver men have
allowed themselves to bo driven by the
