k, rkrnoRo,.'.1C. 'SUMA , bNOR DER 18, e a 1887 J' " " .B, B.l . 2D Z1Li, W. L. MoDONA1). ~BIOS THE etpublican party is for protec tection, there Is no mistake about its attitude. '4:he Democratic party grins free trade and winks protection. And 11 t.e meantime sensible,-men know that thestarif' laws, unjust though they are acknowledged to be, will never be repealed until the issuo is squarely made. IF the New York Star can't find something a good deal meaner to say about Blaine than that he is like John Adams, the Star,. for the good of the Democracy, had - better "let up" on the man from Maine. To.be like John Adams in any partioular is to be worthy of the Presidency. John Adams was the greatest-man of the Revolutionary period, his patriotism, his eloquence, his superior wisdom, shaped the policy that made the Re public. Probate Judge. There is now pending before the Legislature a bill to make the office of Probate Judge of Fairfield county a salaried one, and there are many rea sons why it ought to become a law. The bill, if we are correctly in farmed, proposes to pay to the Pro bate Judge a salary of seven hundred dollars in lieu of the fees which are now provided by law, and which ho is required by this bill to pay over to the county treasurer. The Probate Judge is a judicial offi cer, and for this reason alone his coin ponsation ought not to depend on the quantity of litigation that is had in his Court. We sincerely hope that our Senator and Representa'tives will spare no effort to have this bill made a law. Fox Comptrolttler General. Comptroller General Stoney has re signed, and the duty of electing his successor is now devolved upon the Legislature. Mr. Stoney was chosen to this office, not on account of politi cal prominence, but on account of his personal v-orth and fitness, and he has given um versal satisfaction. Ills resignation will be regretted. We would respectfully present to the Legislature, as a suitable person to be elected to the office of Comptroller General, the name of a citizen of this conimunity 'who is in every respect orthy to succeed Mr. Stoney. Like r. Stoney lie is no politician; like r. Stoney he possesses the verf 1' .. .qmtaliiesland igapacities. -Which are, der manded by the arduous and importan4 uties of the mfiic of Comptroller eneral. HIe is a man of retiring dis osition, iucorruptable integrity, un tiring industry and splendid ability. .lHe is eminently qualified in all re spects to discharge the duties of the officee. WYe refer'to our present and most offlcient County Auditor, Capt. isaac N. Withers. We would insist, also, that the elec tion of Capt. Withers would be entire ly consistent with the principles of civil service reform. Capt. Stoney's successor ought' to be chosoen f'om among the auditors. The Comptroller General stands in the same relation to the State Treasurer that the auditor does to the county treasurer. Thme experience in the one prepares the incumbent for the duties of the other. Capt. Withers was a gallant and is a disabled Confederate soldier. HIe ought to be elected, and if ho should be, he will give such general satisfac tiona that lie will be re-elected more than once. A joint resolution is nlow pending before the Legislature to amend Arti cle WV of the Constitution relating to the judiciary. The amendment proposed vests the judicial power in the State in a Court of Errors, a Supreme t. ourt, two Cir cuit Cottrts, to wit, a Court of Comn moii .Pleas having civil jurisiction and a Court of General Sessions hav ing criminal jurisdiction, a Probate Court, and other inferior courts. It is a little hard to discernt just what the Legislature is driving at; we have more courts neow tihan we have litigation, and the inference. that -the plan proposed in this jolint resolution furnishes a more perfect scheme for the administration of justice than our present system, is one which we do not feel justified in drawing. The amendment strikes us as a first-rate scheme by which to prolong litigation to the end of time. The Court of Errors is to consist of the Chief Jue tice'and Judges of the Supreme Court and all the Circuit Judges. The Su preme Court is to consist of a Chief Justice and two Circuit Judges, who shall be assigned by the Chief Justice in regular succession to servo on suoh Court- for twelve months. Amorig the many dbfects in this& elaborate system raay be mentioned that which permits the trial judge in the Circuit Court to uit-in the Court of Errors to try the truth of his own conclusion. This is exacting a little (oo qtpeh of the vaity of ordinary men. There needn't be any doubt as' to the position which this Judgp will take in tho'Conutt f 'orst. le will bieconi# "of,ognsel" for the respoui dent. There are many- objections to this propoaed .amendm nt 1 ' ~ l obl sowo . of a dourt in bauo, ant is sp+hing ,)ke forty years bohtnt the rogressi foo unce. -,bill has bgn k troducod in tke Lesislature by:tCo. MoKisslck, of Union, to make the transcript of the stenographer's notes final as to the tes timony, rulings and charge - of the Judge in all cases tried in the Courts of Common Pleas and General Ses sions of this State. The bill has been Fopo,rted unfavorably, but it ought to pass notwithstanding. The stenographer ought to be fully competent, or the office should be per. mitted to remain vacant. But when the office is filled by one thoroughly capable of attending to its duties, then his notes may assuredly be trusted farther than the memory of the Judge. Any one may see on a monon'L's reflection that the practice of permit ting a Judge to settle a "case" embody ing his oWn errors inust be very unsat-- p is factory. And of course any Judge o of refined moral porceptioner would be C= only too glad to be relieved of such a o task. The Judge, under such orcum- 5 stances, must have something of the same feeling of uneasiness that makes C it uncomfortable for him to try his . own case. And, then, too, the Judges are mon, and all men are moro or less r touched with the infirmities of human nature. It is only now and then at i best that one may be found high enough to be above the weakness of doctoring his own blunders. -i The Judge has the appointIng of the J stenographer. This is a pretty good guarantee that he will be competent. _ Naturally he will be impartial and free from imputations which are cer- r tain to be levoled at the Judge, evcn when he duoes his best. r Therefore, we say, let him settle the I "case." He may not be able to do it with absolute perfection, but he is at all events better fitted for it than the Judge. Is Consumption Ineurable? I Read the following: Mr. 0. II. Morris, Newark, Ark., says: "Was down with Abscess of Lungs, and friends and physi clans pronounced me an Incurable Con-J sumptive. Began taking Dr. King's New h Discovery for Consumption, am now on my third bottle, and able to oversee the d work on my farm. It is the finest medicine d ever made. ' fi Jesse Middlewart, Decatur, Ohio, says: T "Had it not been for Dr. King's New a Discovery for Consumption I would have g died of Lung Troubles. Was given up by doctors. Am now in best of health."
