WHEN it Is stated by the president of country bank that the deposits over fit ) per cent in the last few , people should realize how the lack of confidence has pre vailed , nnd how disastrous it works upon the transactions of the banks.

Wo may bo uuro tlmt the practicing attorneys of tlfis district know wlmt IB oxpcctcd of them nt the mooting to which they have boon summoned , and if tholr action accords with the expecta tions of the people their work cannot fall to secure that universal endorsement whioh it ultl deserve , The sentiment of thh community is undoubtedly In favor of a non.partlstui judiciary , and the bar Is peculiarly fitted to inaugurate a movement , of this kind. Hut the bar must not mi.-tnko the es sentials of n nonpartisan judiciary. Good judges , honest judgOM , learned judges wo must have and none other can possibly obtain the support of dlscrltn- . inatlng citizens. Hut for noupartlfiaii- shlp something moro than mere ability and competency is demanded. Our judges must bo independent of political party HO far n * tholr olovntlou to the bench is concerned , and they must bo elected , not ns democrats oi > ns republi cans , but a * tnon best fitted tw the posi tions to which they nspiro. Such being the cane , c nillnlng the action of the bar meeting to the simple naming of six or moro candidate * ns worthy of nomina tion by the party convention * would defeat - feat the very purpose of the mmpnrti- snn movement. There ore three vacancies - cios on the district bench to bo filled and there should bo but three lawyers dcsig- imted as the choice of the bar. There will then bo three men in the field rely ing upon it nonpartisan support , men who can ask a party endorsement with out becoming dependent upon a party nomination. The idea that a nonpartis'an judiciary moans tlio distribution of the various judgesliips among tlio different political parties is singularly out of various'J the principles upon which the move ment is founded. The elimination of politics from the bench cannot bo se cured by dividing the membership upon a partisan btwl'j. ' The suggestion draws Its only soureo of plausibility from the fact that tlio district bunch includes moro than ono judge. Imagine a court consisting of but one judge , ho'.v can such an oliico bo divided among the dif- forent political parties ? Must wo eschew the hope uf a nonpartisan judiciary whenever there is room for only a single candidate ? Certainly not. The men must bo named because they are the most suitable men for the place ; their politic- * must be but incidental factors. What is expected , then , of the bar mooting , is the naming of three suitable persons to fill the vacancies about to occur on the district bench ? If any who are not suitable are mentioned at that time it becomes the duty of- these present to s'ato their objection1) openly and without fear. In this way only can men of tlio right sort bo named , and then , to use the language of a prominent attorney , "everybody will stand by and help to olcct thorn whatever may bo the action of the party conventions. Bar nominations have proven to b'o the right policy , and the experience of this district - trict , so fur as it has gone with them , has been entirely satisfactory. " CANADIAN UUI'KH Every little while a report comes from our northern neighbors indicating that they are hopefully waiting for such tar iff changes under the democratic regime as will bring them good times. They have been living under a cloud of de pression so long that they can readily be pardoned for regarding with some de gree of enthusiasm the promise of brighter days. True , they are not suf fering from any financial disturbance such as wo havo. There is no silver question to trouble thorn and they have a currency system that is sound and responds ad mirably to the requirements of busi ness. There are features of the Cana dian banking system whioh might ad vantageously bo adopted in tliis country. But business in the Dominion has not been prosperous for borne years , the agricultural communities especially hav ing had a hard experience. Material development has been extremely slow , if not at a standstill , and population has not increased despite the olTort.s of the government in encouraging imniigiation. A great many Europeans have gene to Canada during the last half tlo/.on years , but quito as many people have left there , and of those a largo proportion has been natives , whoso patriotism was not strong enough to keep them at homo against the allurements of the bettor rewards for industry in the United States. All the efforts of the Canadians to extend tholr foreign com merce by commercial treaties and other wise have boon practically failures. Intelligent and unprejudiced Cana dians understand that the only hope for the progress and prosperity of their country is in obtaining closer commer cial relations with the United States. Under the old reciprocity treaty with this country Canada enjoyed a high degree of prosperity , but that one-sided arrangement was abro gated by our government' more than a quarter of a century ago , and over since that time Canada has boon limping along at about its present pace. ' Several attempts to renew reci procity have failed , bccnuso the Domin ion government , under imperial domina tion , would not agree to terms which the United States could accept without sacrificing tlio Interests of its own pee ple. The Dominion government has never nhown a disposition to make any great departure from the Unas of the old treaty , which wasoonfinod to the ex change of natural products and gave nearly all the advantage to the agricul tural producers of the Dnnlnion. It would do nothing that could cur tail the advantages enjoyed by British manufacturers in thu Canadian markets Consequently their proposals for rec iprocity were rejected. The accession to power of a democratic congress and executive has led thorn to think that they will now bo able to effect a trade arrangement to their own liking. Tlio probability is , however , that tluy will bo again disappointed if they have no bettor proposition to make than they have heretofore presented. It is not likely that the Cleveland administration will ho any moro disposed than was its predecessor to make a one-aided com mercial arrangement with Canada to the detriment of our own people , agri cultural and industrial ; uud while it is possible that in revising the tariff soiho Canadian Interests will bo benefited , if the hope of our northern neighbors is built upon the idea tlmt the principle of protection to American Industries Is to bo abandoned , there is no doubt that disappointment-awaits them. It is en tirely plain to everybody who can take n dispassionate view of the situation tliat Canada's future development' and pros perity is dependent upon her commercial relations with llio United States. In order to grow her producers must have access to this great market. This is within tholr roach whenever they are willing to make fair and just conces sions. It is to bo expected , however , that they will not make further over tures until they learn to what extent , if any , the revision of our tariff will bo helpful to them. For this information , or at any ratu for a realization of hoped-for benefits , they may have to keep tholr patience In control for an other year or more. IX TIIK SKNATR. The votes by which the senate refused to recognize the titles of Mr. Allen of tiV Washington and Mr. Mantle of Montana to scats in that body , while undoubtedly dictated by a purely partisan fooling , will have an important bearing upon our constitutional law. Thoso'senators , together ' with Mr. Ucckwlth of Wyo ming'who has recently resigned , hold tholr places as appointees of the gov ernors of their respective states because the legislatures had adjourned without being able to agree upon a choice for the existing vacancies in their senatorial representation. A precisely similar point had never before presented itself to the suntito , which consequently had to consider it ns an entirely now question. 'Tho dilliculty arises solely out of the . peculiar wording of that clause of the constitution which provides for sup plying vacancies in the senate. Its framers evidently had in view only va cancies which might occur during the recess , , of the legislature and to this end provided that "if vacancies happen by 'resignation , or otherwise , during the re cess of the legislature of any state the executive thereof may make temporary appointments until the next meeting of the legislature , which shall then fill such vacancies. " The supporters 'of the unseated sena torial aspirants argued that the spirit of the constitution would load to the extension - tension of tliis method of supplying va cancies to vacancies of every kind , and that a btato whoso legislature failed to do its duty ought not to bo 1 visited with the penalty of 1i 1t representation whatever. If at tention t had been called to a contingency of this nature , the f minors of the consti tution 1J 1 would undoubtedly have provided for J it by means of gubernatorial ap 1t pointment. 1 So far as expediency is concerned - corned t , that is the most logical inference that 1 can bo drawn. But onn technical ity , the majority find that they are per mitted to determine what shall bo done. Each house of congress is made judge of the elections , returns and qual ifications of its own members , and ' in exercising this power it may form its own judgment upon contested points. In this case the senate has de cided that inasmuch as the constitution did not provide for supplying the vacan cies in question , the seats must remain vacant until the legislatures perform their duties. The immediate elTect is to aggrandize the dominant political party , but moro important still , it sets a precedent which \\ill probably bo fol lowed as equivalent to law should a similar contingency arise in the future. THK MUKKl' L > 1' " TllK O'JNSTTTUTION. The free silver advocates persistently aMurt .that silver has a constitutional place as a money metal , and that there fore to suspend or restrict its coinage is a broach of that instrument. Senator Alien made nn extended argument in the semite last week toshow that ' 'silver is , and over has been , the money of the constitution , and it cannot now bo aban doned by congress without a ilagrant and inexcusable refusal on our part to , in good faith , enforce , in the interest of tlio nation at largo , a power expressly onjolncd upon us for the general welfare. " The senator expressed his utter aston ishment that there should" bo any question as to the constitutional place of silver as a. money metal "in view of the language and purpose of the consti tution , the history of the time when it was framed and adopted by our ancestors , the treatment of the question by congress - gross in our coinage legislation , the voice of the judiciary when speaking on the subject , and the treatment of tlio nmttnr by the various political parties in their respective platforms. " The Nebraska senator is to ba credited with having made by far the best argument in support of tliis view , but it was by no moans conclusive. The constitution simply ordains that ' 'tho congress shall have power to coin money and regulate the value thereof. " It does not prescribe what shall bo the metals of coinage , nor the weight , nor the domoniimt'on of any coin , nor the amount which shall ha issued. That in- htrumontdologato-i tjojugross , uncon I- trolled and omnipotent , IH ha.s been said by one of the most distinguished jut ists in the country , "tho power to coin money of any weight or domonination , and to choose thoroforgohl , oi's.llvor , or nickel 1 , or ooppor , or broiue , or any other metal I , and coin either one or several , or all , or suspend or restrict the coinugo irf ) f ono or more as In its judgment the ono or the other will host subserve the com mon welfare. " Our coinage system was not established by the constitution , but by the' statute of 17 ! ) , and because that , law recognized gold and silver as money metals they did not therefore attain a constitutional place as such. They are money metals by statute , and what the statute' may constitutionally establish the statute may constitutionally change , suspend or repeal. It ib clear that congress was left abso lutely free by the framers of the consti tution to adopt whatever metal ormptnls it should doom best to bo coined as money , but they did not allow the same freedom totliobtntoj. They liuortod this provision in the organic law : "No btato shall make anything but gold and bilvor coin a tender in payment of debts , " It is held that this provision binds eui- gress to make V h1 ; gold and silver ft tender , but obviuml it Involves no obli gation upon th $ , ; | ) ody to do any such thing. It may btMndmltted that the f minors of tho/constitution , / regarded both gold and silWr ' as money nnd per haps thought thill'itydur the government they were nroVjdIug for a double standard would 'exlst , but they were careful dmi leave It entirely with congress 'JjO ' 'determine ' whether such should bo'/'tlio cnso. So with regard to regulatjift ) the value of money the authority of congress is unrestricted nnd absolute. Ill1 the act of 1702 the mint ratio between gold and silver was fixed at lu to 1 , making it conform as nearly as possible to the market value of the two motnls. Forty-two years later congress again regulated the value of money by fixing at ( ) to 1 the ratio of silver and gold. A third assertion of this constitutional power of congress was made in i&VI. There l.s nothing In the constitution to sustain the advocates of free silver coinage - ago , but there in everything in the example - ample of "tlio fathers" to justify those who are contending fora currency every dollar of which shall bo of equal value. A witiTKit who has boon drawn Into print by Mr. Austin Abbott's paper on "Tho Administration of Justice , " read at ono of the World's fair .congresses , attributes - tributes most of the law's delays to the shirking of work by the judges on the bunch , Uo calls attention to the faut that notwithstanding the overcrowded dockets and ho increasing accumulation of cases , the courta grind away as slowly nnd with as little regard for the dls- patch of business as If the suits which they a'-o hearing were the last ones on the calendar. The cry for moro judges and a moro extended judicial system is continued , while for every additional judge the existing courts out olT a correspond spend ing jimount of time devoted to the actual hearing of cases. Ho says that wo have more judges now than wo need , nnd what wo want is moro work out of the judges. The vacations allotted by judges to themselves are altogether in commensurate with the burdens which they sustain. "Lot the judges open court earlier and adjourn later , " says tliis writer ; "lot the term continue longer to the end of the month and moro work will bo accomplished , and lot the judges curtail their vacations and take no moro than they took'previous to their ascending the bench. " Some of these remarks are as pprlinout in the west as in the cast. THE Railway 7 Employes association fought the maximum freight rate law with desperation be-causo they feared it would result in a reduction of wages all along the lino. The much deplored re duction has come , but the law has not beeji enforced. Tot we hear not a mur mur from the valiant defenders of the vast army of employes. True , business , is dull'and there bus been widespread dpprossion , affecting1 alike the railroads and every other branch of business. Cutting down expenses is the order ol the day. But wo want to call attention to this now , so that whan the injunction cases are on trial no ono can make the pica that the contemplated lowering ol rates had anything to do with wage re ductions.

( Helm Democrat ; "Tom" Heed's nlltisloni to the benefits which came to the country from the resumption of specie payments must have been palling to these democrats who roineinborod that their party opposed Hint policy from the outset , Chicago Herald : With all hi * faults nnd helms a good ninny ex-tVar Head shows n disposition to deal patriotically with the sll * vcriucstlon | , which might bo imitated to ad- vantagd by some more pretentious states I men In both houses He wants the Shor- innn law repealed , and that Is what the country wiints , as some bull-headed mar < * < plots will discover when they como up for re-election. St. Paul Pioneer Press : Tom Heed was right in saying that the Sherman law is not the only causa of existing financial troubles , and that the apprehension of thrcatunud changes In the tariff counts for much In the prevailing business depression. So It does , lint ho Is right also in recognizing in the sil ver purch iso clause of the Sherman law the more immediate cause of the existing finan cial disturbances , and In advocating Its repeal - peal in order to remove the distrust which has drivun hundreds of millions of money from circulation. Philadelphia Inquirer : Mr. Kood's speech was a declaration of bullof ; i sort of con fession of faith rather than an argument , but it was none the loss interesting lor that , nnd his idea will bo accepted in great nio.is- uro by most republicans. "Whether Justly or not , thu Sherman law is believed to bo the cause of the unreasonable ho.inllng of currency. " said he. Tlmt la true to the let ter. It makes no difference whatever to what extent , small or great , the law really is responsible. The fact remains that In business circles it Is hold to bo at fault and Us repeal Is doinnndnd , Confidence cannot bo restored unless the incubus Is removed. Philadelphia Press : Kx-Speakor Heed's ' speech in tno house was worthy the reputa tion of the sneaker , and ono of the most In teresting yet delivered. To the assembled democracy In congress ho speaks In the role of philosopher ami friend. ' Without delving so deeply in the underground recesses of monetary science as some of the other speakers , his speech shows the penetration and grasp of the situation of a man who sees clearly , reasons forcibly and talus nurstia- slvoly on a subject ail are Interested in , bin which most of them view through an lin. penetrable mist. In it Mr. Keed easily maintains the coaunamling position which places him in the forefront of the battle head and shoulders over these around him. IX .1 .MKItltV I'KIX.
