The Supreme Bench Now Full.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The president
to-day sent the following nomination
to the senate:
Justice David j Brewer, of Kansas,
to be associate Justice of the supreme
court of the United States.
David J. Brewer, the newly appoint
ed associate justice of the United
States supreme court, is about so
wears old and q native of Smyrna,
Asia Minor. His father, the Rev
Josiah Brewer. was a missionary to
that country when the justice was
born, but returned to this country
when David was 8 years old. The
appointee graduated from Yale col
lege, bv a strange coincidence, In the
same class with Judge Brown, of De-
troit, and John Mason Brown, Of
Kentucky, both of whom were prom
inently 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 circuit, to succeed
George w McCrary. Justice Brewer
is a nephew of Justice Stephen j. Field,
his mother having been member of
the famous Field family The APP
pointment is generally well received.
Justice Miller, over whose circuit JUS
tice Brewer has presided, speaks OF
him in the warmest terms, ranking
him among the ablest judges on the
bench
DR.. Morrison Mumford, editor OF
The Kansas City Times, says the APP
pointment will give satisfaction to all
narties in Kansas.

The followingis the method adopt
ed by the Democratic governor of
West Virginia to give the certificate of
election to congress to a Democrat in
the Fourth district of that state in
stead of to Charles B. Smith, the Re-
publican who was elected: In for
warding the returns from one of the
counties to the governor the county
clerk in spelling out 1.-TWO" failed to
close the letter "o'' at the top. The
Democratic governor decided that he
had no business to change the letter,
and it was an "e'' as it stood, and
hence must mean twelve" So he
counted it twelve, which gave two
majority to the Democratic candi-
date, and the governor awarded him
the certificate. The county clerk who
wrote out the return made affidavit
that it was ''two" and not twelve"

Free Wool Means Ruin.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. AT the
National Wool-growers' meeting, a
committee to prepare an address to
the wool-growers of the United States
was appointed. The feature of to-
DAYS meeting was the annual address
ofthe Hon. Columbus Delano, OF Ohio,
president of the association. "F'ree
WOOL" he said, "would be death to
this industry, and none who prefer
the interests of this nation to those
of foreign nations will fail to regret so
serious q blow to our wool-growers
and to the nation at large as free
wool will inflict, and none but those
under influence of personal interest
or traditional prejudices will fail to
admit that the attempt to put wool
on the free list is an economic blunder.
To those who favor free trade as our
true policy l added no protest against
free wool. From their standpoint
they are right. If it be free trade, let
us have it as system, pure and SIM
pie, without the adulteratioD of du-
plicity under the name of incidental
protection Let us do one or the
other, and have an economic policy
that is entitled to an honest and cor
rect name. A tariff for revenue with
incidental protection is delusion
and a fraud We need national
policy on this subject honestly named.
If protection, let it be general and
uniform, embracing all American in
dustries that can be profitably pur-
sued by our people" The delegates
in body called on the president and
Secretary Rusk.

Reducing the Revenue.

1t is matter of the gravest public
policy and a necessity of the Repub-
ican party that the revenue should
be reduced. tits computed that, TAX
ing into account all the reasonable
expenditures of government, there
will be an annual surplus of $44, 0O0,-
900 for at least year Or two to
come. This surplus will be in excess
of the amount provided by law for
the sinking fund created for the pur-
pose of extinguishing the national
debt.
To reduce the tariff on manufact-
ured goods and on such raw materials
as are produced by our own people,
would not reduce, but would increase
the revenue. 1t would stimulate inn
portation, and the amount of duties
paid on the increased quantity of inn
ported goods would be far in excess
of that now paid into the treasury,
while goods of American manufacture
would be crowded out of the Ameri-
can markets, and American labor
would be compelled to accept reduced
wages, or would be entirely unem-
ployed.
The duty on sugar is apparently an
exception to this general rule; or,
rather, as the sugar product of this
country constitutes but one-tenth of
the total supply, the sugar tariff can
be reduced with better results to the
entire people, and with less harm to
any great American interest, than
would be the case as regards any other
article on the tariff list.
The tobacco tax is tax on the
luxury of the poor. If abolished, it
would save the people over $50, OOO,-
900 a year. If partly abolished, it
would save them proportionate
amount of that sum.
Here are two points for reduction
of the revenue from which all the peo
pie would derive the benefit, and the
surplus would be extinguished with
out affecting the general tariff system
or causing injury to any great indus
trial interest of thecountry chicago

THE DRUM BEAT OF THE PARTY. =
The message will act like the beat Of
the long roll upon slumbering camp.
He has thrown down the gauntlet to
the Bourbon and free-trade foe, and
challenged them to combat. They
will accept the gage OF battle; while
the Republican hosts, shaking off
their apathy, will rush to the fray
with newly-inspired vigor. There will
be no more inaction, no more lack OF
support of the Republican executive.
Benjamin Harrison, in his first mes
sage to congress, has shown himself a
worthy leader of a mighty cause, and
no Republican who really believes in
the principles of his party will fail to
give him his hearty and unwavering
support--Toledo Blade.
