MILLER TO GO ON THE UpREM BENCH.

mILLEh ~ ~ in 1hE SOHhEME bENCHs
There is no doubt that Harrison has it
in mind to elevate his present attorney
general to the supreme bench 1t is
learned that he has three plans IN view to
accomplish this.
One is to promise Solicitor General
Taft, of Cincinnati, Miller's place as at
torney general.
The second is to transfer Noble from
the interior department and give him
Miller's place, and make CIarkson secre
tary of the interior, and third, and the one
viewed with the greatest favor by poll
t~icians, is to transfer Tracy to the depart
ment Of Justice and make @ arkson secre-
tsry of the navy.
Clarkson is not a lawyer, and this would
seem to leave him out Of the question for
the interior portfolio, out he can be secre-
tary of the navy without having looked
into a law book, or having made himsel
familiar with the definition of the term
law.
There is no doubt but what Clark son is
willing to take a cabinet place if he can
get one. He has been sulkIng all curing
this administration over the thought that
Harrison should have provided him with
a cabinet job in the beginning.
He has a handsome wife, who is not
only popular at the White House, but she
is Mrs. Harrison's especial fad and it has
been noticeable that she has been given a
post of honor always at the White House
reception.
Mrs. Clarkson is reputed to be ambitious
for the political elevation of her husband,
and if gossip tell the truth, she is a con-
c+or+ ord nO+ap+ foo+Or u1orl1in~ ,,pooo0
ingly in his behalf.

liquor traffic, Of which Judge Stuart is a
member, by an unanimous vote, except
one, have reported a bill abolishing liquor
from the District of Columbia after No
vember l, 1891. The bill will be 70 light
with energy in the House.

Representative Geo. T. Barnes, among
other members of Congress, has contri-
buted a paper to the New York Lndepend-

pen, and his article is, in all respects, the
best of the lot of contributions in that
number.
