President Arthur has given the coun-
try surprise in the nomination of
Roscoe Conkling to ill the vacancy on
the supreme bench. Especially is this
action surprise to those individuals
who saw in the political atmosphere ut
the capital unmiStakable indications
that Senator Edmunds was tn be invit-
ed to exchange his seat i'll the Senate
for II Supreme JudgeShip. 1t was
among the things most unexpected,
and since the nomination was made
there has been much speculation us to
the why's and wheretOres. 1t Is highly
probable that President Arthur had,
previous to the nomination, been given
to understand that COnkling would
accept if it was rendered and although
there will be some opposition III the
Senate to confirming the nomination,
it will hardly be potent enough to pre-
vent the eN-Senator'S dOnning the silk
robe which is the symbol of the Su-
preme Judges office.
Is he mt Tor the place Ii Is not
strange that President Arthur should
seek to place Conkling in high posi-
ton. however distasteful the act may
be to Il majority of the people. 1t is
simply another number in the stalwart
programme to which the President in
clines To adhere The fitness of the
nominee is questioned, not so much in
regard to his legal ability rs with ref
erence to certain other characteristics
which have made themselves conspicu-
Gus of late. The arrogance and preiu-
dice in favor of self which made the
ex-senator resent any Executive action
opposed to his will, would not figure
successfully on the Supreme bench !;
the lack of dignity and genuine manli-
ness which prevented the ex-senator
from facing the music, and induced
him IL act like spoiled child, would
be out of place in one clothed in the
Judicial robes of the highest court.
Such position calls for moderation,
dignity, setting aside of political am
bitlon and intrigue. Is Mr.. Conkling

Illegal Fishing.

1t was decided at the meeting of the
Champlain fish protective association
Saturday, to take immediate steps for
preventing illegal fishing by seines and
nets in the lower waters of Lake Cham
plain this spring. A man will be hired
at the points where this illegal fishing
has been done and paid $50 month
and his board for the next three months
to watch for violatOrs of the law. At
tOrneys have been engaged and meas
ures taken to this practice. Last
spring pike and bass, to say nothing
about other fish, were taken from he
meath the ice at Alburgh and vicinity
by the barrel, and in many cases used
for manure. The result was IL sensible
diminutiOn of fish in the fishing season.
The spOrtsmen along Lake Champlain
are thoroughly enlisted in this matter
and will make it hot for the violators
of the law this spring, thing which
ought to have been done before. st.

College kidnapping.

The Dartmouth college freshmen
class went to Montreal, the other night,
where they had class supper. just
before departure, Arthur Lucas of AL
bany, n. Y, who had been selected to
respond to the toast, was discovered
to be missing. Lucas arrived back at
Hanover, and explained that while
passing through the College yard, he
was seized by a party of masked soph-
ignores, who drove him to White Riv-
er junction where he was kept at a
hotel till morning. They did not hurt
him and furnished him money to pay
his fare home. Here is an opportunity
for an infliction of discipline on some

THE DIFFERENCE.

The views of Joyce and Tyler on the
superintendent question were quite di
vergent, Mr.. Joyce wanting the num-
Der fixed at 800, and Mr.. Tyler at 294.
The number was finally fixed at 325,
Mr.. Joyce's proposition being rejected
without IA division. The formers OBJ
iect was to save member for Yer
mont, and the latter's to increase the
relative power of NermOnt's two mem
beers by making the whole number as
small as possible. Inasmuch as the

prompt despatch of business, Mr.. Tyler
acted as a statesman, and Mr. joyce

has not. You see how it is yourself
