WASHINGTON, December 6 The ap-
pointment OfJudge Brewer TO the Supreme
Bsnch has stirred up storm of fcriticism.
As Gin cult Judge it became Judge Brewer 4
duty to pass upon a decision rendered by
the United States District Judge in Kan
sss upon the ccnstitutionality Of the Iowa
laws, which copnecs'ed breweries aad dis
tilltries maintained and operated in that
State. Judge Brewer sustained the opin-
ion of the Court below, and thus held that
to brew beer for home Copsumption IN
Iowa was sufficient ground for the cOnts'
cation OF the property Of the citizsns.
No decision Cf recent date has been sc
strongly condemned by the German press
As this. The fact seems to be because of
this decision the President has selected
Judge Brewer, although almost unknown
in a national point of view, for the vacant
Supreme Court JudReship. Germans
every where will recognize this selection ss
a direct challenge TO them, and as a direct
blow for the rebuke they administered In
the President's party in the Ohio and Iowa
elections.

NYE AND RILEY.
A Delightful and Unique Entertainment at

A Delightful and Unique Entertainment at
the Opera House, Last Evening.
One of the largest audiences seen at the
Opera House for a gear past, assembled
there last eTeniDg 10 listen to the enter
tAinment given through the joint efforts
of Bill Nye and James Whitcomb Riley.
The audience expected much in the way
o. fun, and they were not disappointed.
The entertainment, for il can not be called
either lecture or a recital, although the
latter more nearly approximates its char
acler than the former, was, il the Ian
guage of the advance agent, decided
go" and there Was almost incessant
laughter from the opening to ths cloae
Mr. Nye in beginning h IS remarlIp, took
occasion TO cay, in his extremely droll
way, that he came to this city an entire
stranger. 1t seemed that but one man in
the city knew him, and he had been sent
to jsil. He understood the unfortunate
wretch got year, merely because he hap
pened TO be acquainted with the speaker.
This reference IN Howe, the bogus nswa-
paper man, WIS heartily appreciated. Mr.
Nye then announced that the entertain
ment would be in ten numbers, equally
divided between himself ami Mr.. Riley.
He notified The audience in advance, be-
cauee when they first set out on their
tour, the audience had habit OF remain
ing in the building when the show WAS
really over and they had gone on TO the
the next town, and they had been put TO
the expense OF teleRraphipg back thst
there was really nothing more.
Alter this explanation, Mr.. Nye gave
place to Mr.. Riley, who told a couple Of
his dialect stories ia verse, and then Mr..
Nye succeeded him, tine two alternating
until each had appeared five times Every
thing coming from either of the distin-
guished literary artists was immensely
good, hat perhaps the gem Of Mr.. Nye's
numbers was his inimltaDle poem" COM
mencipg:-
"Oh, the autumn leaves Is failln'-
Fallin' eyeryw here:
They re f4lln' IN the atmosphere,
And likewise In the air.
They re fallin' on the widows grave,
And on the pauper's tomb,
They're fallin' in the even tide,
And IN The afternoon.
His adventures with the Congressman,
who lived on the eems block with bim, al
most divided the honors with the above
choice literary effort, however. while Mr.
Rlley's imitation Of the youpg educator
from the city, and his recitation of the
poem, That Old Sweetheart of Mine, -
we're mOet enjoyable.
It is pretty certain that the audience
would have fingered sll night, had the two
gentlemen upon the stage been disposed to
have drawn cut their efJrls to that length.

But Monterey WAS echpsed by BueDa
Vista. Taylor had been surprised by the
superior number and splendid discipline
Of Santa Annals forces, and the Ameri-
cans were losing the day. Brsgg alone
stubbOrnly checked the sweeping tide Of
victory, when Davis hastily formed his
Mississippiaus and led the forlorn hope.
The battle had been lost, but there was
time 10 win another. Dashing up e IA
vine, aud then up its side, he debouched
bis 900 men right in the face of the en-
emy. a charge rolled the Mtxicans back,
and Santa Anna sent his renowned lancers
to ride the Americans down. The a.

genius saved the day. lie formed his
famous "V," re-enteriug wedge, and
awaited the attack. The lancers slack
ened their pace, and almost halted
at abOut eighty yards. Davis wanted
his men TO wait for closer range; but few
Of the Mississippians could not wait, and
fred. Then the order to fire was given.
The head of the column Of lencers was
moved down, and the rest turned rein and
gsllOped away from the deadly rifles.
HIS OFFICIAL CAREER.
In 1847, fresh from his victories of war,
he was appointed by the Governor Of
Mississippi TO the Senate Of the United
Statee His Senatorial capeer from 1847
to 1851, and again from 1857 to 1861, was
crowded with activity. He was a recoR-
nized leader in a body famed for its abil-
ity. His speeches will always be models
of elegance From the first he declared
for States rights, that his State Was his
sovereign, and that the Senste was q con-
ventiOn OF ambassadors Of Independent
States.
He was Secretary of War under Presi-
dent Pierce, 1853-lS57, ard WAS immedi-
aiely afterwaId sent sgain to the Senate.
This was the stOrmiest period Of our polit-
ical history. It was during this time that
the Crittenden compromise, prohibiting
slavery north of latitude 36 degrees
and 80 minutes was discussed.
On the accession of Mr.. Buchanan, he
quilted office, and was reelected to the
S4nate; bat the election of @r Lincoln in
1860, and the secession mOvemant caused
bim to withdraw. When the movement
received shape and form he WAS chosen
Provisional President of the Confederate
States February 4. 1861, iusugurated Feb
rusry %. and elected as President for six
years in 1862.
After the fall of Richmond, President
Davis, who endeavored to make his es-
cape, was captured at Irwinsville, Ga,
May 10, 1865. and remained a prisoner tJr
two years in Fortress Monroe, awaiting "a
trial lie Wa4 released on bail IN the
summer OF 1867, Horace Greeley being
one OF his bOndsmen, and was included
in the general amnesty Of December %,
1868. After his release he visited Europe,
aud on bis return took up his residence IN

HYNES AND FOSTER

terday.


tsrday
| CHICAGO, December 6.-At the opening
of the Cronin trial this morning, Mr..
Hynes resumed his address TO the Jury.
He continued his examination OF the de-
tense OF Beggs. He said that the evidence
did not show, as claimed, that Beggs was
simply in en- attitude of waiting and de-
precatiDg any discussion until the report
of the committee to try the triangle was
made; il WAS not merely that Df Cronin
was premature in his report 10 his camp.
Beggs objection was against any uncover
ing of the alleged frauds at all. he an.
nounced himself friend of Alexsn-
der Sullivan, and be wanted the question
of the frauds dropped. Mr.. Hynes added
on this point: He insisted that there was
no use in opening cid scores; that they
we're the enemies OF Irish unity; that
the men behind him, the men
who had the power, as he says here,
or the men who are the power, will in time
realize the motives of those who are cen
tinually creating disorder ia their ranks
and day Of punishment will come. | SIN
very much discouraged at the present ont.
look, snd hope 10 trouble will result" He
did not mtau the trouble that had been
going on in the cAmp-tne mere discussion
of it. Trouble had q more significant
meaning than the mere acrimony Of dis
cussiOn.
THE cONsPIRAToRs' PLANS.
Il wss after the first of March. after the
fiat had been rented aud all preparations
Ind been made for killing Cfonin, that
COugblin whispered into the ear Of Harry
O'Connor that there is information in the
city that DR.. Cronin ID another lie Csron.
1t WAS for the purpose Of preparing his
mind for the Doctors disappearance that
be said this. II the men who inspired the
murder Of DR.. Ciohin believed him C spy
they would have sent him scross the wa
ter, but it wss moi the spy they were after.
They were endeayoring to cover up their
own frauds"
In conclusion Of his remarks concerning
Beggs, Mr.. Haynes said that the signifi-
cance Of all the testimony againft BeRge
was thoroughly appreciated by his COUNSEL
If it were not they would uos have gone to
the trouble of endeavoriDg TO prove an
alibi for him on the night of May 4.
