THE PRESIDENTS CHOICE.

President Cleveland has taken the country
somewhat by surprise by the nomination Of
Melville w. Fuller, Of Illinois, a close personal
and political friend, to be Chief-Justice Of the
United States. MIR. Fuller has been frequently
mentioned as among the possibilities but his
name has at no time taken the leading place in
days ago by the special organs of the Admins
tration that the President did not know yet
whom he would appoint.
The announcement will undoubtedly cause
great disappointment to the friends Of the nu-
merous other distinguished men proposed, al
most all Of whom, it must be said, are better
known to the country at large than Mr.. Fuller.
It is, of course, not an argument against him
that he has not had judicial experience. The
precedentS in the selection of our Chief-Jus-
tees are too numerous on the other side But
all Of them, with the exception OF Mr. Waite,
had been long identified with public life, and
all of them have been eminent in the law. MIR.
Waite's services as counsel in the Geneva Arbi-
tration, while not of nature to attract a large
share of popular attention, were on National
scale, and gave so positive a demonstration OF
his powers to all men of affairs that there was
q prompt aCQuleSCeIlC0 dUlOIS lHtll III thO WIS
dom of The selection. Mr.. Fullers public SER
vice thus far has been confined to membership
in Constitutional Convention of his State, and
in the Legislature; and his chief connection
with politics has apparently been in the local
contentious Of the Chicago Democracy. If he is
to be Judged by his official experience and his
record as party. leader the showing, it must
be admitted, is not impressive. His career as
lawyer, on the other hand, is said to have
been markedly successful and he unquestion-
ably enjoys the confidence of the community in
which he has passed his active life. The trib-
utes to his character and ability, which come
from his neighbors and friends in Chicago, are
of the warmest kind. He is young enough to
have fifteen years Of service before him before
reaching the retiring age-which is no doubt an
important consideration in placing a new man
upon the bench.
The first feeling of the country will no doubt
be one of disappointment, that the new Chief
Justice seems to be under the historic size. I'm
der the circumstances, he cannot hope to come
to the great place thus suddenly conferred upon
him with the ready and pleased acquiescence
of the country, as might have been the case with
a man who had been long in the public eye. But
if he has the learning and the abilities demanded
by the post they will soon win recognition,
and none will be quicker to give it than the po-
litical opponents of the Administration which
selected him.

MR. CRAIG,s DISASTROUS GUESS

| In November, 1885, THE tribune published
an innocent though crisp and instructive, letter
from a correspondent in Virginia, which has had
tho fortune Of rroyokILg lively controversy in
thai, State. and of adding materially to the bur-
dens OF General Malone and at least one Of his
lientenants The letter in question concisely
snecifcd some Of the causes which led to the
brilliant victory which the Virginia Republicans
had inst won and we had no more idea than had
the writer of IL that General Malone would make
!. an issue. for the next two years. The tur-
mil was at first confined within the Generals
bosom. but with the publication of his famous
secret circular last winter it burst those narrow
bonnds and the world was informed that the let
Tor had been written by II. c. Parsons at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel and at the instigation Of Mr.
Rl.ine TIE TRIBUNE even then failed to COM
rrobend the magnitude Of the crisis, and merely
contented itself with explaining that Mr. Par

than General Malone himself, and that tie Fifth

dred miles of being the Of its inspiration or
composition.
There we were perfectly willing to drop the
matter and consider the incident closed; but now
appears one w. f. Craig in the columns of The
Valley yircinian" with % long communication
from which VIC gather that it was he who told
General Malone that the letter was written by
Mr.. Parsons at the Fifth Avenue Hotel and at
Mr.. Blaines instigation, and that he has lately
sent The TRIBUNE requests for space in which to
explain how he happened to make such an afro
ciously bad guess-requests to which no attention
whatsoever was paid. Assuming, for the sake Of
argument, that THE TRIBUNE did actually re-
ccive and omit to acknowledge these requests, we
fail to sec just how the world in general or Mr..
Craig in particular was aggreved thereby We
feel more or less sympathy with him, to be sure
for when General Malone discovered how he had
been imposed ON he doubtless gave Mr.. Craig an
exceedingly uncomfortable quarter Of an hour.

when a month had passed the House had not
half finished the consideration OF the bill, and
was compelled to abandon 1t and take up one
which had meanwhile been passed by the Sen
ate. II would not be possible to discuss all the
details of the bill now pending within a month,
although Republicans In no way initiate their
opponents in raising amendments and prolong-
ing debate for the sake Of delay. When the
National Conventions draw near, progress with
the bill will be found practically impossible for
two or three weeks. In short, it is no longer
practicable to crowd the bill through before the
Presidential nominations, but there is room for
great doubt whether its consideration can be
completed during this session in the House
alone. unless its opponents prefer to have
vote.
Meanwhile public business waits. There are
pending bills of the utmost importance, upon
which the conduct Of various branches OF the
