Judge Chasc,s Successor.

Before the mortal remains Of Chief
Justice Chase bad time to stiffen in death,
politicians and place hunters were busy
specializing on and trying to influence
the appointment of his successor The
Eastern press put forward different men
of that section in tone of authority not
agreeable to Western ears, and the OPP
position OF course began to find ohjec-
tions to every man named. The press
of Wisconsin, with great unanimity are
advocating the appointment Of Senator
I. .. Howe, ard though deprecating the
indecent haste Of some Of our cotempo-
raries, We can but agree that no mau in
the nation is likely to make more eff
fcient Chief Justice than our honored
Senator. His recognized integrity, un-
swerving devotion to truth and justice,
and admitted legal learning, are quail
ties that peculiarly fit him to fill the
highest judicial position. 1t is said that
no appointment will be made until after
the meeting of Congress, and the PRESS
dent will no doubt give Senator Howe's
claims due consideration

WORDS OF WISDOM.

To those who take the position that
the Republican party should give way
to new party, in order TO secure reform
and eradicate corruption, we can say
nothing better than the following, which
is clipped from valuable exchange:
What would be thought of a sailor who
would favor the destruction Of ship because
few barnacles clung to its bottom? He
would be accounted crazy, and a tit subject
Tor an asylum. Yet there are some persons
who favor the destruction Of the Republican
party because a few knaves have chung TO its
fortunes, and have found living under its
shadow. Can we believe them to be sound in
their judgment or safe III their advice We
Tear not. Like the crazy sailor, the remedy
they propose is worse than the disease
IL Is a little singular that every man who
leaves his party thinks he was the last man of
virtue III ii and that his departure left it in a
worse plight than was Sodom of old We as
sure our Democratic friends that we have q
good stock OF honesty still left m our party,
and can spare lew more OF just such men as
went out under the liberal hag, and still keen
out OF moral bankruptcy. We are daily pli-
rliylng our party, by bringing into it the honest
material that was accidentally left i'll the
Democratic camp, and by driving out the
black sheep from our own fold as soon as we
are sure OF the color Of the fleece But we
are not prepared 20 destroy the best political
party the world has yet seen TO get rid OF u
few baInacles that have fastened upon il =,
There Is way TO break their hold and that
Is to destroy Them whenever we can get at
them. We should overhaul the good old shin
1T every election, and remove with Il strong
arm everything that tends TO impede its pro-
gresS III the great work Of human civilization.
Oar party, from the beginning OF its power,
has been the great lever of reform 1t has
secured reforms i'll our Government which
might well have been the work OF a century
instead OF the labor OF less than score of
years. ii has taken 10 step backward. What
u has gained it has kept, and is continually
improving. 1t has proven by its works hat
it IS something nObier than a mere party: it
Is the spirit of the Republic working out
through It's best representatives the great prob
lem OF seli-gOycrnmcnt

Judge Chase was G5 years old Icing
born in January 1903. His education
was acquired in Cincinnati and Dart
mouth colleges He chose the law as his

highest judicial position in the nation.

part in politics, first acting with the
Democratic party, but in 1913 lie sepa>

CAPrAIS CHARLES F. Halls Arctic ex-
pidition, in the steamer Polaris, which
was fitted out 10y the national Govern
ment with all necessary scientific men

Of apcplexy in November, 1871. A year

BY the common consent of the loyal and
patriotic people of the United States. the oOth
day of May has been set apart FOR the decora-
ton of the graves of the defenders OF the
Republic who laid down their lives in the late
war The sentiment which demands this OBJ
servance is Of The noblcst and purest charac-
ter, and the usage Of scattering flowers upon
the graves Of those who fell in thdir countrv's
defense is of ancient origin.
By strewing flowers upon the dead hero's
grave, we honor his memory and the cause in
which he fell, and at the same time dedicate
ourselves anew to our country.
| respectfully recommend mat all patriotic
citizens on that day join in this ceremony. Let
1t not be an occasion for the revival of section
al animosties and bitter rccolcctions, but
rather rs indicating our desire FOR iGconcia
ton with the living and love and gratitude TO
the dead.
In those places where there are posts of the
Grand Army of the Republic. that organiZa-
ton will take charge of the ceremonies but
where there are no such posts il Is hoped that
the survivors Of the late war Will unite III do
ng honor to their dead comrades, with WHOM
all are invited to join.
In testimony whereof, | have hercunto sub

CIVILIZATION has yet some work before it
in this country when two men can deliber-
ately, i'll presence OF witnesses, and under
the deluSion that they are doing an honor
able act, stand at ten PAGES apart and shoot
each other to death. This is what the two
young Nirginians did who fought a duet
near Richmond few DAYS ago, the cause
OF which was difference between them
concerning some yonng lady. 1t was
thought that the experiences of the war
had blotted out with blood the false notion
of chiyalry that formerly prevailed south
of Mason & Dixon's line. If the war had
failed in any manner TO eradicate these
ideas. it was thought that intimate rela-
tions with the carpet baggers would have
completed the work As botn these agen-
cies seem to have failed to break down the
d,tetio as an institution, it is time that the
law should step in and punish the surviv-
ors. whether principals or seconds, in Il
manner that will discourage duclling III the
future.
