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.

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 mischief Is of tholr creation , and they ,
after having created the mischief , want to
have the credit ot the cure.
( 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.
