The New Solicitor General.


Mr.. Geo, A. Jenks' appointment as So
licitor general of the United States, in
place of John Goode, of Virginia, rejected
by the Senate, affords occasion for surprise
only because it was generally supposed
when Mr.. jerks retired from the depart
ment of the interior it was in accordance
with q purpose Interchangeable for the present
to retire from public life. 1t is far more
likely that Mr.. jerks has been able to make
other arrangements about his private busi-
ness and professional affairs than that the
newspaper stories are true which have it
former place and now looks forward to the
attorney generalship to succeed Mr.. Gar
land.
Mr.. jerks was called to his first impOr-
tant trust chiefly because Mr.. Lamar had
known him as member of the House to
be singularly clear-minded, fair and able
lawyer, and upon inquiry he found that
time had only ripened his powers and ma.
tured his fitness for public office, while the
assidyQsron, and successful practice of his

dressing the Hon. John Sherman on train
the other day, "the conductor of this train
has lost his pocket-book containing s20o, and
unless he finds it he is a ruined man. Now,

"Slrw exclaimed the senator, rising to his
feet
pardon me, senator, | do rot excuse you
of anything. 1t WAS all n mistake
"Well, sir, let us look, said the senator,
still very indignant The valise was thrown
open, and there, sure enough, was the rocket
book. The senator had gone to the conduc

had pulled down the blinds. In the dark

Tor cool, calm judgment and even temper.
VINO will be as safe an instrument in the
hands OF Salisbury as any that he could Sc
lect. The comment Of the Pail Mall Ga
zette sounds like sarcasm, though:it is prob
ably intended for sober wisdom. 1t says
That Londonderry had no objection in 1878
to supporting movement "favoring a
proposed inquiry" into the merits of the
Irish demand for home rule, and that he
favored new land law, and it therefore
looks upon his appointment by Conserya-
tive premier as an act auspicious for the
Irish people.
Are the English Conservatives who boast
that their party is led by the most noble
aristocracy that the world has seen,
30 narrow-minded that when one of them
avows his willingness to flavor an in
quiry" into the merits of grave question
that is brought before them, it excites re.

and it will not take long to blot them out,
