Several weeks was re- 'otte * quired to try the case; the time of major important court officials and witnesses taken up and a huge amount of, Su,u'a money spent in court coats. About ,,u" the only good that caino of the case ?,i<i,u was to give Mr. Ford something to do sytnDa for four or live weeks. The six cents <on('u' will hardly be worth while to him and ' 1 if the verdict had been for a millionjan '10 dollars, which he asked, it would IS W it ll very slightly, or else bis reputation is " 1 ronoog not very valuable. However, Mr. i Ford will maintain that, by receiving i' a verdict, he was vindicated, and the!'>ia? 1 amount of the verdict doesn't figure!10 "" .. . they v in the transaction. 1 hero ?

Leech, editor of citizen the Memphis, Tonn.. Press, for contempt of court and subsequent incidents connected with his imprison-1 ' '10 ment, emphasizes the fact that the -"^'urd power of tite judge was grossly mis-j?' ':l used, else the people who were ?t'ute.s friends of the imprisoned editor have war l< a gross contempt for the law. The 1 01 latter is hardly probable, and it is Sinil'.a more probable that the judge allowed | bold i personal animosity or prejudice tojI1<^ ' outweigh his judicial decision. And, in the first nlaco. a iud?P should not.! f'?unt> l>y any moans, try or sentence a man s'('ed for contempt of his own court. The vve,'e 1 case should he heard by some othorj 'ra disinterested judge who can try it h('veril without bias or prejudice. We have rePres heard of similar cases, nearer hom(,ien"1,li than this one. and if our memory a r<'Sf serves us right, the popular sympa- superi thy was with the editor in every sin- Pr'ate gle case. f c< Commenting on the Tennessee case, < arrie( the Danville, Va., Register, says: '''8 *nt "The whole country has been re- Prt"s?ti galed by accounts of the many evi- Ree dences of popular sympathy bestowed | educai upon Kdward T.
