MAINTAINING THE DIGNITY OF THE COURTS. uThe courts of jus1 ice are the bulwark of our liberties and we yield to none in our purpose to maintain their dignity." The foregoing words ol wis dom are found in the Democratic national platform adopted at Denver last week. But how are we to maintain the dignity of our courts of justice? Certainly not by denouncing the judges and juries every time their actions do not happen to accord with public sentiment, which is ever variable, one thing today and another tomorrow, and oftentimes wrong. Certainly not by thus destroying 'he confidence of the people in the "bulwark of our liberties,'* The only way to maintain the dignity of the country's tribunals of.justice is by c efereutially acquiescing in their decisions and bv cultivating a spirit of respect lor and obedience to constituted authority. if perchance a judge, or a juror, or other officer ol the law. should prove faithle-s to his trust, should yield to corrupting or other improper ii tluei.ces, the law ilseli provides a remedy, which should be resorted to In no event dmuld an app?al be made to public opinion tor a modification or reversal of a ju dicial decree or verdict of ;? iur. . i< r iner< is no such C" .r , oriiii nal, appellate, supreme or otherwise in ti e i u:i-prudenc of this <r any other civihz-d com.try We would no'. li? wever, nnderes'imate ?lie v due of public opinion.

It ha- no superior wben u-fd a- an aaency for 'hei encouragement of ncd'ler ;ni better thiri^^ in the mind- ot the people, for the moral up:'ltin<; oi humanity, t- r the promotion of peace an 1 happine-s and brotherly love, for the iuculeat'on and cultivation of iii<*lier ideals, and, for flie pre9eivati n ot law and1! order. With a ^or-1 platiorm an 1 a good ticket, ant with tinny in the Democratic r:u. and more or less disaffection among the Republicans, there n no -onod reason why Br>an and Kern shouldn't be elected in November. The platform adopted a' Uantrar w Ati^ nf I lio KujI A/QU f VI A ' V/ I l#V>0 V I V U I 11 j THE I the history ot the party, being a singularly clear and unequivocal declaration ot democratic priori pies?a platform upon which any disciple ot Jefferson should be I proud to stand. It is in striking j co'hra-t with the tl *mooyaui, | evu :ve, wishy-washy document ot generalities p: omulgated by the Republicans. And Bryan se^ms to be more popular now i than ever before. Even the East j and the West are becominn eu-j thusiastic over the Xebraskan. j All si^ns point to a Democratic ! vi> toiy. Kern may be all. ti^ht. but (the kernel of the Detnocralic ticket is Colonel Bryan. There's as much difference between the Democratic and Re I'UUillJclU }Jlc?l HI!

The National Prohibition party will hold its convention in Coumbus, Ohio, this week, convening today. 1 he Independent party, beaded by Hearst of New York, will hold its national convention in Chicago on the 27th instant. Torn Watson, by ihe way, has at last accepted the nomination lor the presidency by the Populist party. The esteemed News andConrier, after fighting Bryan to the last ditch, that is t j saw up to his nomination, is now eating its ! dish of crow with apparent rel! ish Hear it: William Jennings Btyan is an honest tnan ; there has been tin scandal in his life; his walk is uptight.
