CALEB CUsHING.-Having but small
trust and confidence in the ability, in-
tegrity and fitness of George II. Will
Jams for the high and responsible trust
Of CLief Justice of the United States,
and recognizing in Caleb Cushing one
of the ablest lawyers and statesman now
living, we are clearly of the opinion that
the country could much better afford to
endure the former than the latter in that
position. America has never produced
another man who more nearly fills the
character ascribed to Lord Bacon-"the
greatest, wisest, meanest of mankind. ="
n is objected to Mr.. Gushing that he
has no politics. That is great mistake;
he has always been an Administration
man, and were His Satanic Majesty at
the head of the Government he would
have no more loyal subject than Caleb.
Heis royalist and loyalist;: he wor-
ships power and always adheres to the
ruling party. A Federalist by instinc
and education. he represented that sen,
timent at home and in Congress until
he-followed John Tyler into the Demo-
cratic party, not as a Democrat by con>
siction, but as hege subject of the
President. Subsequently he took no
sctive.part in politics during the penden-
cy of any general election, but immedi-
ately thereafter hastened to declare his
allegiance to the successful candidate.
He successfully supported the Admins
trations of Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Tay-
Jos, Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, Lin
coin, johnson and Grant, without any
change, or profession of change of prin-
ciplss, at all times holding himself rea :
dy to do any service required of him by
the President, without regard to its no
pality or public policy. We have good
reason for believing that he woiid not
have been member of the Charleston
Convention. in 1860, and would not
have used his influence to break up that
Convention in order to defsat the cleo
tion of Mr.. Douglas, had he not been
directed to do so by President Buchan-
an; and that he was promised seat up
On. the Supreme bench for that service,
which he failed to get because a canvass
Of the Senate disclosed the fact that he
would not be confirmed. He pays more
regard to public decency than Ben.
Butler, but is not whit more scrupu-
lous. He holds the opinions of the
populace in contempt, is a courtier to
official power. and apon the bench, if
opportunity offered. would be second
Jeffreys in teadyism and tyranny. The
man who sacrificed his own wife to his
personal vanity and ambition, would be
a fit instrument to subjugate the rights
Of the people under Judicial tyranny.

PALACE HoTEL.-Mr. Warren Leland,
the Prince of Landlords, has sent US
q description of the new hotel now in
the course of construction for him in
ban Francisco, as published in the
Bulletin, flom which we gather the fol-
lowing:
The new hotel will occupy the land
bounded by New Montgomery, Market.
Annie and Jessie streets, having 'front.'
ages as follows: On Montgomery, 344
feet; Market, 275 feet; Annie, 304 feet;
and Jessie, 225 feet, covering space of
200 feet. The cost is fixed at $3.50, 900
That the reader may fully comprehend
the magnitude of the building. it will be
necessary to institute a few pointed
comparisons by reference to the new
hotels of the East. Leland's Sturtevant
House in New York covers Sc, 600 square
feet; the new Windsor Hotel of the
same city covers $4,000 square feet;
and in Chicago, the Grand Pacific Hotel
covers 58, 40 square feet, and the Pal
mer House Sc, $50 squars feet The po--
sition indicated as the site of the Palace
Hotel is one of the greatest publicity.
No better location could be selected in
the city, and probably no other equal to
it could be found. The building is de-
signed in the modern style of architec-
ture, with proper regard for the princis
pies of natural harmony, and as viewed
on paper, has an air of elegance and
comfort.
On the first floor is the main entrance,
20feet wide and 25 feet high, with side
walks eight feet in width. This leads
from New Montgomery street to car
riage court, 152 by 81 feet, which is
covered with glass and surrounded on
all sides with arcaded galleries, one on
eyery floor, each twelve feet wide and
forming in itself continue GUS promen
ade. Access to the different suites of
rooms is also afforded by the promen-
AIDES. These galleries, when illuminated
with standard lamps, will present
scene of magnifcence almost dazzling
to behold, reminding the spectator of
those graphic pen pictures in the Ara
bian Nights Entertainments, where the
perfection of palatial brillancy is reali-
zed.-
There is no way in which money can
Be invested which contributes so much
to the general prosperity of town as In
first class hotel. Allobservation proves
that all towns are j4dged abroad by the
character Of their newspapers, and by
visitors by the character OF their hotel
accommodations Few persons are at
tracted to q town but by newspaper
represe sentations, and still less invest IN
town where they find the hotel accom-
modations inferier and thriftless. The
recognition of this fact was the cause

Chicago, and the improvements in ho
tells in San Francisco during the last
ten years has added millions to the
property values of that city. A first class
hotel in Seattle would be worth to the
town every year more than It's cost, be-
sides paying large dividends upon the

WHAT'S TO PAY?- Old Newell, of the
Walla Walla Statesman, assails Judge
McFadden in the most violent manner,
ostensibly on the ground of his acts in
Congress, which all who know the facts
know to be false pretense. 1t is well
known that this assault upon McFadden
was determined upon months ago, unless
Newell was bought off, and he has only
waited till the present time in the hope
of being propitiated by McFadden or
his friends. Newell may still scare
some timid politicians into paying him
black mail; but the time is passed when
his praise or censure can affect the
public standing of any man in the least
degree where he is known, for it is well
understood by all who have had any
dealings with him that his newspaper
support of or opposition to any man,
party or measure is only question of
money or personal spite. To attempt
to defend any man against his attacks
would be work of supererrogation. A
sensible man, who desires to stand well
with the community of Washington Ter
rity, would rather have his blame thar
his praise, for that would be evidence
that he had not paid him corruption
money or held corrupt communication
with him.

In the fore part of last week Mayor
Otis received a telegram announcing that
the First National Bank of C~onneautville,
Pennsylvania, had been robbed of a large
amount of bonds and money, and asking
there to work up" the case. The dis
patch was submitted to Superintendent
Schmit, who commissioned Detective
Rowe to look after the matteI-This officer
went at once to the scene Of the robbery
and began investigation.
He was told that one week ago Sunday
night the cashier of the bank, D. d. Will
liama, remembered that he had neglected
to clip the coupons from $33, 600 of bones
in the bank vault. He went to the bank
at about one O'Clock Monday morning.
opened the vault and the burglar proof
safe inside, took out the bonds, laid them
on a desk several feet away, and had cut
of two coupons when he heard a knock at
the side door. On opening the door two
men, whom he could not describe, entered
and seized him. They gagged him and
"bucked" him and let him lay on the floor

selves to what money and bonds they
wanted and walked of.
At seven o'clock In the morning a man
employed about the building heard the
cashier groan and tried to open the bank.
| Singularly enough, all the doors we're firm
ly locked, and II was several minutes be-
fore the bank was opened. The cashier
was found "bucked" and gagged, and a
large amount of money, thought to be
| $44, 600, was missed. A physician was
called to attend the cashier, but found him
not much exhausted and without the marks
| on his wrist the cords would make when
tied for six hours. The piece of soft wood
used for a gag had no imprints of teeth to
| speak of.
Officer Rowe was more and more sat
isied as he proceeded with the investiga-
tion that the cashier was at least aparty
to the robbery, if not the principal or sole
thief. and put him under arrest. The
cashiec wfs unable to describe the men he
sid p ;rpeu at0d tn theft. Snow had fall
len the night Uefore. but there were no
footprints about the windows or where the
burglars were said to have entered. Those
thieves took the unheard of p~recaution to
lock every one of several doors behind
them as they came and VENT burglars
first care usually is to secure an easy exit
Bonds belonging to particular friends ofthe
cashier were not disturbed, and, last but
not least, the cashier was behind in his &C
counts, and was to have made q statement
to the directors the next day.
All these and other circumstances Poin-
ted to the cashier as the thief, and he was
taken before United States Commissioner
a. B. Force, at Erie, and bound over fol
trial. But as he has some relatives and
connections by marriage in the board Of
directors, it is rot improbable that the
case may be settled without a trial.
