Ex-Presid nt Ilarrison writes of
"The Judical Department ot the
Government," in the January Ladies'
Home Journal, and siys with refer
ence to the general mode of selecting
Judges iu the majority of States:
"There has been much diBciiKsi in as
to the proper tenure for the judicial
odioe; and the tendency, as expressed
iu the later State Conotiiutions, has
been in favor of limited terurs. The
earlier State Oonsti'utions gaye the
.ippoiutment of the Judges to the
Governor or the Legislature, but
along with the demand for limited
fertna for th Judges came another
for their elemion tj the people, and
in a majority of the States tbey are
no w nominated in the party conv n
cions and elected by popular vote
j ist as a governor or sheriff is chosen,
I do not think that either of these
changes it a reform. Limited terms,
if they are long, may b supported
by many considerations ; t ut short
'emts, com'uined witti popular eleo
tions, have cot, in my opinion, se
cured a hth a judicial slaudurJ ae
prevailed before. A Judpe who
must go ut short lu'.ervals before i
political couvention for nomination,
and baroe the people for an eleo
tion, cannot bavo the snme Sense of
udrpendeuca and eeenrity that be
would have if h s term were long or
ItHng good behavior. The judicial
cilice should be eo org.m z d that
men i f the best abilities and attaiu-
meuta would euter It as a career,
and give their lives auu tbeir auibi-
tionn wholly to it."

ADJUTANT'S REPORT.

. The annual report of the Adju
tant General is said by that illicer
to be the best he has ever made. I'
shows the strength of the Stat.
Guard to be now 1,780, against l,C(i0
at this date last year. Two infantry
companies were disbanded, and tbret
mtistered in. The military aided
the civil authorities seven times
during the year. The practice
march of the Fourth Regiment in
praised, and it is especially recom mended
that suoh marches take the
place of stationary encampments
The report says the gu -rd oan bi
mobilized in a few hours and that
it is equipped for six months' ser
vice. That there is general inter
est in it is shown by the fact that
between February 1, 1893. and this
date no leBS than 80 applicants for
permission to organize companies
were received.

The University of Chicago bas in
stituted an odd Innovation in giving
lessons to its students on proper be
baior iu church. Tbe statement
of its plans and purposes, or exac.lj
what reform it propozes to iffrCt, is
oot very defioite a fact whuh is tc
03 regretted. But it is to bs hoped
that it will address itself to the curt
of tbe custom if it is a custom out
in thnt country which people have
down here, of planting themselves in
he end of the pew next the aisk
Len they go in church aud refusing
to budge for new-comeis, thus com
pelliug those who enter afkr them
o 6tumbleover their feet and crown
themselves Into the pew as best thet
can. When the country was young
tnd a worshipping congregation was
tpt to be surprised at apy moment
by au atta- k of Indi tns, our fore
fathers carried their guna to meet
ing and the men sat next the aisle
in order to be ready upon a secondV
aotioe to grab their guns and rush
tut to repel the red men and save
the women and children. Such it
the power of heredity that the de
scendants of the men of those dayr,
in North Carolina, at least, will an
chor every time in the end of the
vest, if it be vacant, atd cannot be
induced to movj over, although the
Indian has long since beej driven
toward the setting sun and th
danger of attack upon peaceful wor
shippers is the remotest of proba
oilities. If in its cuiriculum of
church manners tbe University oi
Chicago is (etching its students to
move over, we bid it hail and Ood
speed, indulging the hope that itE
Hues will go out through all the
earth. Charlotte Observer.

"For inatar.ce, the other day the

him to write au account of th

the names requested the report
would have been very short as far as
names were concerned.
"But why did the mammas desire
their daughters' names omitted ?
Well, that is a matter of surmise,
