PRESIDENT HARRISON flied the va
cancy on the Supreme bench last We'd
nestay by appointing David j. Brewer,
of Kansas, Associate Justice. Mr.,
Brewer is man eminently fitted for
the office, and his appointment will give
universal satisfaction. He is about 90
years old and native of Smyrna, Asia
Minor. His father, Rev. Josiah Brewer,
was missionary to that country when
the Justice was born, but returned to
to this country when David was 3 years
old. The appointee graduated from
Yale College, by 4 strange coincidence,
in the same class with Judge Brown, of
Detroit, and John Mason Brown, of
Kentucky, both Of whom were promi-
nently named in connection with the
appointment. After years study of
the law in New York City Mr.. Brewer
removed to Kansas, where he early took
a prominent place in his profession. He
served two terms OF six years on the
bench Of the Supreme Court of that
State and had entered upon a third
term when President Arthur appointed
him Judge of the Eighth Judicial Cir
cult, to succeed Geo. w. McCrary.
Justice Brewer is nephew of Justice
Stephen j. Field, his mother having
been member of tae famous Field
family. Justice Miller, over whose
circuit Justice Brewer has presided
speaks of him in the warmest terms
