Two of the champions in the q. S.
Senate had a set-to this week,-Sen-
ators Ingalls, and Voorhees,. These
displays of temper are not credita-
BILE in so dignified a body, repre-
senting the most liberal and united
government. 1t is no use for one
side to want to forget the past ex.
cept when it suits it's purpose in the
interest of self or politics. The re-
cords OF public men on the wal
questions are beyond denial and re-
pudiaton at this late day, and are
better undisturbed than brought to
light again, unless it must be
done. The worst are those
halfway, war failure, political
subterfuges, that want to forget
their past doings to pose as patriots
of uadying devotion and statesmen
without an unpopular blemish, and
Ingalls, had to contend with one OF
them. Calling names is no argu
ment. and Senator Voorhees, Ian
guage was more like that in a street
fight than what would seem fit on
the floor of the senate. We are OPP
posed to raking up past issues as
much on one siGe as on the other
but if the records must be a weapon
OF assault and defense, we are glad
the cause has a man to WELD it as
ingalls, can.

The President has treated Il

The President has treated the
country to rather agreeable surprise
in appointing Melville NJ. Full.
Ter, of Chicago, to succeed Mr..
Waite as chief justice of the Su-
preme Court. From all accounts
the new appointee is an able lawyer,
and was a loyal citizen during the
war. The appointment is said to
give satisfaction in Illinois. Much
bitterness had been stirred up over
the struggle for the place and to
this fact the appointment is doubt
less due. A compromise had to be
made and Mr.. Fuller was select
ed. We hope he will prove all he is
represented, and if he does the
country will be satisfied.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.

lily welcomed by many old friends, for he was
attached to the Greek Legation at CONSTANT.
nople when the Hon. George II. Boxer was
American Minister there, and the friendship
begun there has continued to grow. In Wash
ington he made the acquaintance of good
many Phlladelphians who have given him hos
pitable reception here. He lunched with DR..
and Mrs. Huidekoper, dined at Mrs. Childs' and
Mrs. Boxers, was the guest of the Philadelphia
Club and found time to see the historic sights of
the city. perfect master of English, he is
typical representative of the Greek nation cul-
tivated, intellectual and energetic. The old tie
between Greece and the United States is
strengthened by such representative coming
among us, and he is sure to be an effective
dipomatist. He is the second Greek
Minister at Washington, the first, M. Ran
or two. Mr.. Gennadius belongs TO an old Greek
family, one of his ancestors having been the
first Patriarch of ConStantinople after its con.
quest by the Turks. His father was the founder
of the present admirable school system of
Greece, where education from the primary
school to the university is free to all. Mr. Gen
nadius was born in Athens in 1S49, and after
graduating with honor at the university began
life as merchant, but entered the diplomatic
service in 1870, and has served with distinction
in ConStantinOple, Berlin and London. He was
largely instrumental in the organization of the
Greek Committee IN London, which, under the
Presidency of Lord RoSebery aud with the active
support Of MeSSrS, Freeman, Bryce. Morley and
other wellknOwn Liberals, has done much to
secure to Greece a stronger and more ndepend-

an ardent believer in the manifest destiny of
Greece, with its wonderful growth in the past
ana its future full of hope and promise.

Roscoe Conkling's Death.

There are few, if any, private citizens in
this country whose death would have at
tracted so much attention as that of Roscoe
Conkling has. The progress of his illness was
noted at length in the dispatches every day,
and only few days before his death a
number of United States Senators. belong
ing to political party opposed to that of
of which he was a member, united in dis
patch to his wife expressing hope for his
speedy recovery.
Mr.. Conkling was a man of very great
ability, and during his political career,
which was distinguished one, there was
no scandal of any kind connected with his
name. In public and private life his repu-
tation as an honest man was spotless. Much
of the money that he has earned since he
retired from politics has been applied to the
ner. for which he had in some way made
himself partially responsible.
Mr.. Conkling was an orator and a de-
batter of remarkable powers. 1t is doubt
full if history will accord him the position
of statesman, or even that of great law
yer The legislation of the country con-
tains nothing of importance that originated
with him. and he was concerned in very
few, if any, cases in which he displayed a
profound knowledge of the law. He was
more successful in cases where principles
were to be settled than in those which de-
pended upon precedents. The impression
that he has left upon the public mind is
that he was a great man and a pure one.

tractive appearance and smart attire entered,
cast look around at the closely-filled seats and
prepared to stand up during her journey. But
the polite man was on hand in the person of a
young mechanic, who arose and cOurteously
offered the newcomer his seat She subsidized

donor did not look a bit disappointed at not

stood hanging on by strap aud looking quite
cheerful and resigned. But as he stood there
his rather badly-SOiled overalls almost touched
the dainty skirt of the lady passenger, and she
observed smartly: Sir, wish you would move
a little to one side; you annoy me by standing

This was a little too much and the young
mans eyes blazed Madame, q" he said calmly

turlously, and the young man dropped peace

did so He had not been there 30 seconds be-

was now in her turn hanging udustriously to
the strap Madame, wish you would move

litter that went around seemed to voice the
popular verdict that it served her right.
