WHO IS TO SUCCEED MATTHEW'S
Two Theories Of Succession Discussed In the
Senate.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-The proba

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The probable
effect of the death of Justice Matthews
upon the length of the special session Of
the Senate was discussed to-day. Sher-
mans announcement yesterday that the
President would be enabled to let the
Senators go home next week was received
with great satisfaction by majority of the
Senators who were DESTROYS of leaving
Washington, but the sad event of the day
may cause a disappointment. 1t is
said by one Senator to-day, that
filling this vacancy is an important
matter and the President will want
time to consider it carefully. The
court has been without the presence Of JUS
tice Mathews for almost year, and it will
shortly adjourn for the justices to go on
their several circuits, and the services of
associate justices are in demand for the eX-
petition of business. Succession to the
vacancy is already discussed, there being
two programmes laid out by those who
talk. One is that Justice Gresham, now
the judge of the circuit comprising the
states of. Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa
will be nominated for associate justice, he
would in turn, be succeeded by Judge
Woods, leaving a vacancy to be filled in
the district of Indiana The other pro-
gramme includes the transfer of Attorney
General Miller tc the supreme bench, of
Secretary Noble to the head of the depart
ment of justice, and of assistant paymas-
ter-general ClarkSOn to the Interior de-
partment.

OH! YOU HORRID, HORRID MAN!
A Disappointed Ofice-Seeker, Sure-He Don't
See the Difference.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner-D Dispatch ]
WASHINGTON, March 22.-Ex- Congress
man Ben Lefevre, of Ohio, got into trouble
while assisting in the management of the
national Democratic campaign last summer
by the violent language which he denounced
President Cleveland to the wife of a Demo
cratic member of the House She was so
incensed that she was finally driven to ex-
claim:
General, you are nothing but a disap-
pointed office-seeker."
Lefevre has not yet got over his spleen
against Mr.. Cleveland, to judge by an Incl
dent which occurred at the White House to-
day.
He climbed the stairs slowly and pro
jected his ponderous indentity into Secre
tary Halford's presence. A passing news
paper man greeted him with:
''Isn't this the wrong administration fol
you?"
The ex-Ohioan stopped short, turned
around and said impressively:
''Theres little difference between this ad
ministration and the last one.''

SENATOR SHERMAN

said: 1.-THE death of Mr.. Justice Matthews
came with shock to me. He was man
thoroughly fitted for the position he occu-
pied-a trained lawyer with a judicial mind
of the highest order. 1t is no disparage-
ment to his associates to say he was their
equal in point of equity His love of JUS
tice was intuitive and his decisions Were
mathematical demonstrations. He main
tanned the position for which his mind was
best fitted. Most of his friends concede
that he was not wise politician, but no one
doubted his being a great Judge. His death
will be sincerely mourned by multitude
of friends and his place will behard to fill. y
SENATOR TELLER:
Justice Matthew'S appointment was an
excellent one and he did not disappoint his
friends. He was a man of commanding
talent. 1 served him in the Senate because
was quite intimate with him and had a
high regard for him."
SENATOR HARRIs:
81 had known Justice Matthews person
ally for many years. He was a man of alb
solutepurity and integrity and a lawyer Of
great ability"
SENATOR MITCHELL:
Il became acquainted with him twelve
years ago, when he entered the Senate, and
served with him two years on the commit
tee on railroads. There 1 had every oppor-
tunity to become intimately acquainted
with him and have known him ever since
as Senator and as justice of the supreme
court. His death is great loss to the
bench and to the country
SENATOR HOAR:
There was some difference Of opinion as
to the expediency of Justice Mathews ap-
pointment when he went upon the bench.
This was due to the fear that his judicial
opinions might be biased in favor of the
great railroad interests which he has so
largely represented as council. l never,
myself, shared this fear moment.
Judge Matthews has taken his
place in the highest rank of
magistrates who have sat upon the bench
of the supreme court of the United States
from the beginning of government. 1t has
never occurred to anybody since his APP
pointment to question his absolute impair
TALLY. Every intelligent man will now
agree that he was in his rightful and ap-
propriate place in that tribunal to whose
arbitration all interests of the country are
submitted and which keeps the forces Of
state and nation alike within their ap-
pointed bounds.n
