This article presents information on various socio-political and administrative developments in the U.S. One of them being the proper and improper use of judges. The most prominent feature of judiciary system in the U.S. that it makes a seat on the bench the reward of adhesion to a political party, and makes the retention of it dependent on subservience to the party. The judge is expected to use his office administratively for the benefit of the party in all cases in which the party is interested; and he is expected to maintain an active or, at all events, open connection with it while off duty. The appearance of New York judges as members of party committees, and in party caucuses, and as speakers at political meetings, long ago ceased to be a scandal, and became in this city almost a necessity of their position. Another being a report on the U.S. Democratic parties reformers.
