Ajjo still the "war goes Lrtvely on as
to which, Mj. Reese, 01 Mr. Savage, has
the best judicial record, nud now the
Omaha liee aud Republican have tabi -la
ted the records of the Judges of the
several districts, as thown ly the doz
en volumes of Supreme Court reports,
and struck an average to see whether
Judge Savage ranks above or below
nis orotners ot the other districts. It
seems to us -this is all a little "far
fetched" unless those journals will dis
cuss each case reversed by the s jpreme
court in order that the public may uu
derstand justwhy tha lower couri was
turned over; whether it was abuse of
discretion, error in undersiandiug, con-
struing, and properly layiiij? down the
law, or simply in the rules of practice.
which were being settled by the Su
preme Court of the state durinsr the
years these gentlemen were Dresidinir
over the lower courts.
In the meantime all this discussion,
while it 'mav injure Judre Savage's
standing in the estimation of mam
people who have been led to suspect he
was about the only sound democratic
lawyer in Nebraska, canuot effect the
Hon. if. B. Keese, whose 1 ibors have
been before the court, during all these
years, instead of on the bench. Again
it will not do to argue, as some of
Judge Savage's friends have foolishly
done, that by reason of his occunaucv
of the bench in the Omaha district, he
is pre eminently fitted for a seat upon
the Supreme bench of the state: that
this should give that jrentleman the
advantage in point of fitness, over his
brothers in the profession who have de
void years of toil and labor to build
up for themselves high reputations as
sound jurists. It will not do to say
; that for this reason Judge Savage
( stands above the PoDDletons. "Wool-
m a r - -
worths, Doanes, Cow ins, and Websters
of Oaiaha, gentlemen who have never
been upon the bench, uur wished to don
the judicial robes. The people well
understand these hurrah arguments,
and will give tlumjhe weight, only,
which they are entitled to. The Her
ald was pleased with the nomination
of Judge Savage, for the reason we be
lieved his nomination was a strong ote,
and that it would result in bringingthe
republican party of the ,tate to make,
upon its part, a correspondingly strong
nomination. AVe have witnessed, with
satisfaction, this result come about in
in the nomination of M. R, Reete, of
whose election by a huge majority, we
do not think there is ne particle of
doubt.
DREW BUILDING, PLATTSMOUTH.
POSTAL TELEGRAPHY.
Postmaster General Howe in his re
port for 1882, called attention to the
benefits which in his opinion, ''after a
careful study of the matter from th
standpoint of his official oosition
at the head of the postoffice portfolio,
would be derived by the people and the
government by tbepKt. -
MORE FREE-TRADE "RELIEF."
From the Tnter-Ocean.
Who profits in any way by the scere
"i luoic vi iron lauures Drought on by
the '-free-trade" legislation of last win
ter? Who is made any richer bv the
failures yesterday of Charles I). Rhodes
or the Calumet Iron and Steel Compa
ny, and the Bangor Furnace Company
U1 leiuganr vvnat .rdiet" is there
for anybody in reading a new "iron
crash" every two weeks V
trade agitators last winter were blatant
in the cry that large numbers of noor
people needed "relief." The force of
men employed by the Bangor Furnace
Company (200) and by the Calumet
Iron and iSteel Company ((WO) are "re
lieved" from work, thus withdrawing
support from 5,000 persons. This is a
most sardonic, gnzzlv, and satauic
form of relief for "free trade"
me poor, jno class ot consumers of
the finished products of iron and steel
iu any form needed relief, tor the sla
t sties of our exports show that we aie
exporting $18,000,000 worth a vear of
mese liuished products totoreign coun
tries, and hei c that they are not only
as cheap, but cheaper, in America than
they are elsewhere. Otl
to us lor axes, edge-tools, spades, shov
els, picks, hoes, reapers, sewing ma
chines, table cutlery, locomotives, en
gines, printing presses, instruments'mu
sical and professional, and about every
thing else that is made of iron or steel,
and is in form rpadv for us
ine rail in crude iron and st el bene
fits no class except that small class of
manufacturers like Abram S. Hewitt,
who import certain crude forms of iron
and steel in order to complete the pro
cess of manufacture here, and who will
make their own crude iron if the tariff
leaves it profitable for them to do so,
and will buy it abroad if it doe3 not.
What interest have American con
sumers of the finished products of iron
and steel in compelling the cruda forms
of iron to be made abroad?- The rail
roads do not ask it. Thev will nil with
one accord say the transportation inci
dent to iron and steel m innfacture is
worth far more to them than cheap
rails, and that even if they get no share
of the transportation they can get their
rails cheaper through the competition
afforded by u large American -manufacture
than a small one.
Mr. Rhodes is one of tLe manufactu
rers who thought the frea trade agita
tion could not. hlirr. him -orwl ...oo , .
worth giving fcry much attention to.
If the fools were in the majority he
could stand it as well as the fools could.
He hardly thought it was worth while
to go to the expense and take the pains
necessary to contradict and refute be
fore the people the innumerable lies
and blunders which were converting
ine people into a crnrr mr.h r,f mcn
sate and fanatical destructives and fur
nace soiasiiers. But alas, the result
proves he was mistaken Thia
OUL,
poseci iortune has vanished; and the
tree trade fools survive him, and are
moving forward to take the rest inn r
