I POINTS IN POLITICS

Ho is a little man, anil ho is modest,
but bis non assertiveness does not pro
vent his being appreciated. The nom
inee of tho republican party for judge
of tho supremo court is respected by
the peoplo of the state. Ho is popular
with tho liar. Judge Norval applies
himself closely to his judicial duties.
Certainly n: ouo can accuse him of
lack of concentration. He is not much
of a politician, nor very much of a
public man. Whatever distinction ho
has earned has como to him through
his services as a lawyer and judge, and
I imagine his campaign will be mado
solely en his official record. I do not
know whether Judge Norvi.l is an advo
cate of free Bilver, or a believer in what
we dissenters from liryanism like to
call "honest money." In fact I do not
know whether ho is for high tariff or
low taritr, an'1 I doubt if many repub
licans know his position on theso
things And it is well that this is the
ccse. Judge Norval has the proper
conception of judicial dignity. He is
no stump speaker. He is not what is
known as a "worker." And all honor
to him that he is not. There aro
enough of us laymen to keep the
machine going without asking the
judges to get off tho bench and put
their judicial shoulders to the wheel.
There has been in his state far too
little of judicial dignity, such as Judge
Norval'e; far too much of political
tinkering on the part of judges. This
candidate of tho republican party has
always been a consistent republican,
and ho is a proper judge. He deserves
re-election.
Oppposing Judge Norval is a vener
able ex-judge well known to tho people
of Nebraska. Judge Maxwell's advan
ced years servo to temper criticism.
Tho populist candidate, by all the laws
of propriety, humanity and health,
ought to be spending his declining days
in the peaco of his own home, instead
of doing battle in the political arena.
He has earned, by long service, an un
molested retirement, and it is to be
regretted that ho has seen tit to again
go out in tho field where he will find
trouble and many vexations. If the
populist candidate were younger there
would bo many unpleasant things said
about him. And even his years will
not wholly protect him. For Judge
Maxwell has many bitter opponents,
and those who have felt the keen edge
of bis malice will not remain entirely
silent. Un the bench Maxwell was in
dustrious, and I believe he was honest,
taking the word in its narrow sense.
But he was vindictive. He allowed
himself to be roused out of that equable
temperament a judge should always
maintain, and he had a way of getting
even or squaring accounts that some
attorneys have called persecution. He
was erratic and dogmatic, He made
law out of his own bead. Prejudice
sometimes influenced him far more
than precedent. Tho judgment of his
official career could never honestly be,
"He was an impartial judge."
-
Judge Maxwell has always inclined
toward politics. This side of his career
hasepotson it. 'Ihe republican party
was not chary in giving him honors.
The judge took all that was offered him
and then when it seemed that there
would be an end, he cast him about for
new political pastures. He leapt tho
bars and has been grazing on the garlic
and stubble of populism for several
years. Hi" avowal of populism has often
been called demagogucry, but the judge
is an old man, and I have too much rc
spectjfor his years to say anything so
unkind. It would look a littlo strango
if Governor McKinley, proving unsuc
cessful in his candidacy for tho republi
can nomination for president, should go
over to tho populists and, modifying his
views, take a nomination for president
at their hands. I think this would bo
called apostacy. Judge Maxwell is not
Governor McKinley; but in a much
smaller way has dono what, if Governor
McKinley should do, would brand him
with infamy. Tho republican party is
composed, in tho greater part, of ordi
nary men, and there is much in it that
is not pure and clean. It is like all
things human. Any man has a right,
at any time, to leave it. Hut Judgo
Maxwell has failed to snow any good
reason for his departure, and his letter
fails to justify his present candidacy on
a platform of Maxwellism.
The bluo shirt is becoming more and
more familiar in this city. Events aro
fast vindicating The Courier's state
ment that Tom M ijors lurid hope of
victory had hardly become ashen dis
appointment last year when ho set about
laying plans to secure the nomination
in '9b. If the inside history of the pass
ago of the bill for a new method of
selecting tho hoard of lire and police
comissioners in Omaha could be written
some interesting light would be thrown
on Majors' capicity for manipulation.
I have no hesitancy in hazarding the
