The Press Has a Right to Criticize Judge. [From Atlaata Constitution.] In delivering his opinion in the Josephus Daniels case of alleged contempt of court, Judge Pritch ard, to whom appeal had been made by the defendant in habeas, corpus proceedings, re-enunciated certain fundamental principles of civil liberty touching freedom of speech and of press, with which every welLposted American school boy should be familiar. So patent is the truth which this jurist proclaimed as constitu tional authority and made doubly binding by congressional enact ment in 1881, that the simple reference of the court to these well understood rudiments of free government was much in the nature of a quiet rebuke to the brother jurist who, seemingly, allowed the heat of his heart to influence the normal temperature of his bead, something that the judicial temperament prides itself on never doing. Judge Purnell, of the federal district court, sitting in Raleigh, has held Editor Josephus Daniels, of the Raleigh News and Observer, to he id pontempt of his court because of certain guarded strict ures which the editor had made Upon the action of the court in a railroad receivership case in which the State of North Carolina was the chief party at interest. As a citizen of the state, interested in the business welfare of the com monwealth in the premises, Editor Daniels had pointed out wherein he thought the court had done the state an injury and exceeded his authority. The response of the pourt came in the form of a $2,000 fjne for contempt, in default of which the defendant was confined to lie in jail indefinitely. The editor refused to pay the fine, although money was subscribed for the purpose by his friends, and appealed to a higher court on writ of habeas corpus. The liberation and final vindi cation of Editor Daniels must be accepted as a matter of course, if our free institutions mean any thing, although we will not with hold cougratulations from him on that account. The case suggests that there should be a way to discipline the ill-balanced judge who subjects a citizen to the stigma of arrest and restraint of fiis liberty unlawfully, more throqgh personal chofer than a sense of injured judicial dignity, if he cannot be held pecuniarily liable for damages. No doubt the affair has .post the Raleigh editor a good many dollars, to say nothing of his loss of time, mental anxiety and physical discomfort while in the custody of the court's officers. The day has passed when a judge on the bench can hedge himself about with an assumed infallibility which, through fear of summary punishment, deters an honest press from conscientious criticism of judicial acts believed to be inimical to the public inter est. The weapofi of contempt is generally a cowardly weapon, and jts etqplqyment has more often been ip the direction of repressing the legitimate exercise of free speech and the expression of righteous opinion. 4 A court that administers justice even approximately seldom has need of resorting to it. Georgian Nominated for President by Springfield Convention. Springfield, Ill., July 6.—Thos • Watson, of Georgia, for presi dent, and Thomas H. Tibbies, of ebraska, for vice president, was t ie ticket nominated by acclama tion to-day by the populist nation al convention. The names of William V. Allen, of Nebraska, and of Samuel W. Williams, of Indiana, were placed before the convention for president, but bes fore the list of states had been completed in the roll call their names were withdrawn and Wat son was nominated by acclama tion. Whether Watson will accept the nomination no one in the convention seemed to know, and ifforts to secure some definite information from Watson’s friends failed. Watson was quoted as saying that if the democrats at St. Louis nominated William R. Hearst he would support Hearst for president. The platform as adopted affirms former platforms and de mands the issue of money by the government in such quantities es shall maintain stability in prices, the establishment of postal savings banks, abolition of child labor, the eight-hour day, and the initiative and referendum. Gov ernment by injunction is de nounced. The monopoly plank reads: To prevent unjust discrimina tion and monopoly the govern ment should own and control the railroads and those public utilities which in their nature are monop olistic. To perfect the postal service the government should own and operate the telegraph and telephone system and provide parcels post, “As tq those trusts and monop olies which are not public utilities or natural monopolies we demand that those special privileges which they now enjoy and which alone enable them to exist should be mmediately withdrawn. Corpo rations being the creatures of government should be subjected to such governmental regulations and control as will adequately protect the public. We demand the taxation of monopoly privi leges, while they reqiaiu iy private hands, to the extent of the value of privileges granted- “We demand that congress shall enact a general law uniform ly regulating the power and duties of all incorporated companies doing inter-state business.” Money Saved is Money Made.

[From the Macon Telegraph.] There has always been, and there always will be, more or less re - controversy about the relative strength of the two forces in the field North and South from 1861 to 1865. The Boston Transcript con cedes that Cassanove G. Lee is “a recognized authority on civil war statistics,” and he has prepared an interesting table showing the enormous numerical superiority of the Northern army over that of the South. Mr. Lee’s figures show that the total enlistments in the Northern army were 2,778,304, as against 600,000 in the Confederate army. The foreigners and negroes in the Northern army aggregated 680,*« 917, or 80,917 more than the total strength of the Confederate army. There were 316,424 men of South ern birth in the Northern army. Mr. Lee s figures are as follows: NORTHERN ARMY.
