WHEN General Boulanger was placed on the
retired list the Journal questioned the wis
dom of the act on the ground that it gave him
the prestige of a martyr and actually in
creased his popularity. So it has proved.
The moment he was deposed he became an
important political figure, and at once an
nounced himself as candidate for the Cham
Der of Deputies. Then followed minister
ial crisis, ending with the resignation of the
Tirard Ministry and the complete collapse of
the government Possibly this might have
happened without the retirement OF Bou-
LANCER, but it is more likely TO have been pre-
cipitated by that event. The present political
situation in France is full of complications,
and if continued for any length of time, will
be very apt to end in Boulanget's restoration
to place and power. aGEk on

THE eRAY,M'DoNALD DIoKER.


The first shock of surprise and mourning
caused by the death of Chief-Justice Waite
was followed by hope that his successor
would be selected with a sole view to his fit
ness for the position, and that the appoint
ment would be entirely free from the faint of
political intrigue. That the new Chief
justice will be a Democrat is a matter of
course. That is all right; but the country
has right to expect that the selection will
be made without any reference to partisan
politics. either direct or remote. There was
the more reason for INDUCING this hope since
the recent appointment of Mr.. Lamar, no
toriously unfit in other respects, was also
part of political deal by which the Cabinet
was reorganized ia the interest of the Presi-
dents candidacy for a second term. The
statement of our Washington correspondent
shows that the vacant chief justiceship is in
danger of being tarred with the same
stick. Whatever the outcome may be, there
is reason to believe that the President
has under consideration an appointment
to that high Office which, under the
circumstances. would be indecent and corrupt.
The President has a perfect right to prefer
Governor Gray as a candidate for Vice presi-
dent, and also to appoint ex-senator McDon-
aid TO position on the Supreme bench, but
to connect the two and to appoint Mr.. Melon
aid a means of placating anti-Gray Dem
ocrats in Indiana would be scandalous.i The
Journal has not word to say against Mr., Nc
Donalds fitness for the position; on the con
trary it regards him one among the best of
those who have been named in connection
with it. -
The only point raised against him has been
raised in Democratic quarters, and that is
that the interests of the party require a
younger man. This is discreditable, but
Democratic. But, leaving aside all other
considerations, we must take leave to say
that Mr.. McDonald's appointment, as part of
a political intrigue to promote the candidacy
of Governor Gray, would be the plainest pros
titution of the Supreme Court to political pur-
poses that has ever occurred. From what is
known of Mr.. Cleveland's methods we have
no doubt he is quite capable of planning that
sort of political dickeri but those who know
Mr. Mcdonald will be slow to believe that he
would lend himself to the scheme. 's'
