Mr. Cleveland has given an honest

It appears that tho judicial bench will
furnish candidates for every office ir

to occupy them; while from a sanitary
point of view they are hardly fit to be
occupied by animals, let aloac human
beings. With few exceptions they are
not furnished with the means of venti
