THE VACANT JUSTICEsH1P.

The proposed nomination of the present
Attorney General Of the United States to the
position on the bench Of the Supreme Court,
made vacant by the death Of Justice Miller,
has excited adverse criticism in every Sec
tion OF the American press which is not en-
tirely under the influence OF blind and un-
reasoning devotion to the Republican party.
Nothing is to be expected of such rabid
organs as the New York Tribune and the
Boston Journal except the warmest endorse
ment OF the Presidential action, however
opposed to the dictates of sound public
policy, but wherever there is an independ-
ent and dispassionate expression of opin-
ion, there is heard only condemnation of
every step tending to the elevation OF At
torney- General Miller TO the vacant justice
ship.
This condemnation is based upon the
strongest grounds. Mr.. Miller is neither in
the point Of legal attainments nor weight
and dignity Of character entitled TO so dis
tinguished an honor. He bSSame the legal
adviser of the present administration simply
by the accidental circumstance that he was
the partner of Mr.. Harrison in the practice
Of law, and he has filled the position which
he now occupies with an ability so mediocre
that he is very generally considered to be
as ordinary as an encouragement as Mr.
Harrison Is as a chief magistrate.
WHY should such a man as this be adj
yanced TO a position which is universally
recognized TO be one Of the most responsible
and exacting in the whole range OF Ameri-
can official life? There was nothing in his
legal career previous to his appearance as
a member OF Mr.. Harrison's Cabinet TO JUS
THY his nomination TO the Attorney-Gener-
alship, and there is nothing whatever in his
record In that office TO justify his promotion
10 the justiceship.
Mr.. Miller was lifted to the attorney
generalship by the sheer force Of an undis-
eliminating fayoritism, and it begins to
look as II the occupant Of the White House
will soon be guilty OF the great folly OF try
Ing TO foist upon the august Supreme Court
this same man, who can only sustain
claim 10 respectable abilities by returning
10 the obscufity from which ne energeu.
Even II Mr.. Harrison should so far allow
his private feelings to warp his judgment as
20 send In the nomination OF Mr.. Miller,
there Is reason TO believe that sufficient
number of Republican Senators, in addi-
tion 10 the whole body Of the Democratic
delegation, will be found who Will have
TOO much regard for the usefulness and dis
function of the Supreme Court to permit
such a nomination TO be confirmed. Mir.
Edmunds Is known 10 be especially jealous
OF the composition of the Supreme Court
and he may DO confidently relied upon to op
pose with all his influence the admission Of
any man 70 that court who will not be fully |
up " the mark Of the great reputation
which IL has always borne.

Of the last qnarter Of century.
There Is no other country on the glooe
which could furnish such list OF capital
ists. however long the period within which
the national wealth had been accommodating I.
Neither England nor France nor Germany
1. comparable with the United States IN
this respect. and for some reasons taey
would be justified IN congratulating them
selves that they do not occupy a similar
position.
There are undoubtedly larger opportuni-
ties In this cosntry OF accommodating prof.
erty than across the Atlantic, but ut the
same time there are conditions Independents
of the re- rid development Of our national re-
sources which have allowed the heaping up
In our midst Of fortunes which surpass the
most ertravagant oriental imaginihgs.
These conditions are opposed to the general
health OF our national community. Inc
enormous fortunes held by many men OF ac-
tive prominence In our financial life are
standing threat to the stability OF the whole
fabric of our industrial and commercial az
fairs.
IL rs well known to those who are familiar
with the money market that 1t is IN the
power Of few capitalists in the united
states. whose names are famous, and who
are devoid OF principle, to bring the country
to the verge Of panic even in season OF
great prosperity if they should conspire TO-
rether with that object in view.
such a condition Of things as this cannot
continue for any great length OF time with
out exciting profound feeling OF popular
opposition, and already this feeling is show
ing unmstakable signs of its active exl'-
tence, The determination to make an equi-
table reimbursement is coming out in the
most marked degree in the hostility which
has been aroused against the high protec-
tive principle which is justly considered 10
be the leading cause of the enormous IN
eauality in fortune to be observed in the
United States.
Unless the existing industrial conditions
are altered there will, in the course OF time,
be found in this country a number OF men
whose fortunes will be so huge that eny one
of them will have it in his power at any
time to precipitate panic if he shall think
his interests will thereby be promoted. Inc
law Of national preservation will compel the
erection of a barrier against such n proba-
bility as this.

Money Impotent without Confidence.
lst. Louis Globe Democrat


The important need at this moment is not
more money, but more confidence. Ordina-
rily credit Is a much larger factor than cash
is in general trade. The number Of bust
ness transactions in which the actual money
passes Immediately and directly is small in
comparison with those in which the trans
fer is indirect and ultimate. Without the
element of credit trade on anything ap-
preaching the present scale would not be
carried on, and civilization as We know it
would be impossible. Credit, in the COM
mercial sense, rests on the assumption of
the solvency and integrity OF the persons
TO whom it 10 extended. 1t presuppOses
not only ability 10 meet financial obliga-
tons, but purpose and determination to
do il. When confidence in the stability
of values, or in the personal honor Of indi-
yiduals is shaken, credit shrinks, more
money is needed for the transaction Of the
same amount Of business and general trade
suffers. In the former particular this seems
10 be the case now. although only in a small
degree. The drop in prices on the London
and New York Stock Exchanges, and the
uneasiness which is eyinced in the leading
European financial centres. have disturbed
the public confidence in the United States
to some extent regarding the values of all
speculative property, American as well as
general values in this country, is unreason-
able, and will undoubtedly pass away in |
few days, but no amount OF money, which |
the Treasury could spare TO throw into the |
market, would remove 1t for the time being. |

The Late Daniel Fsyerweather.
PHILADELPHIA Resord (

In the noble legacies Of Daniel Fayer.
weather participate not less than twenty
institutions of learning and science. and
five benevolent institutions, IN accordance
with the philanthropic donors careful esti-
mate of their needs and their deseryings.
Although the gifts, amounting to nearly
81. 80, 900, constitute the bulk of the philan-
thropists estate, there is no disposition on
the part of his surviving relatives 10 contest
the will. The childless widow, who appears
10 be imbued with the benevolent spirit OF
her deceased husband has made no effort TO
change the destination of the legacies, and
is entirely content with her modest income.
Mr.. Fayerweather acted in accordance with
a long-matured plan, and took care that NJ
collateral heirs should successfully interfere
with the exercise OF his beneyolence and
public spirit.

The New York View.

The House of Representatives by its ac-
ton yesterday regarding the suggested re-
moval Of the remains of General Grant to
Washington, undoubtedly reflects the gen.
eral public sentiment on this subject. II re-
iected the Senate's joint resolution by the
emphatic vote of 1853 to 92, after number OF
eloquent and impassiOned speeches had
been delivered. The only reason ever adj
yanced for transferring the Generals tomb
from Riverside was the failure TO erect
there the stately monument which has beeu
in contemplation ever since that spot was
chosen for his final resting-place. But that
is not wholly New York city's fault; and il
il were, il is so far repaired that design
for the monument has been chosen and
work upon 1t will not be much longer de-
layed.

Harrlson's Idea OF the People.
baltimore News

1t is evident that Mr.. Harrison regards
the people as incompetent to do their own
governing. lie virtual says so, since he
imputes the result of the last election 10 Tue
ignorance and stupidity of the voters, who
did not understand the situation. And this
idea i'm the head of President, and the re-
suit of election so recent, it is not sur
prising that he is more than ever anxious
TO do his own registering, counting, and
certifying" and means to do that, and the
voting also, for the country, whether II
wants him or not. That is the meaning OF
the Presidents demand for the Force bill,
and of the feverish anxiety Of Senators 70

"The Casabianca Republicans" by inter

cans, or in ether words, the men whe obey
the orders Of the very much deceased grand
son OF his grandfather, temporarily abiding
in the White House at Washington. That
respectable but rather diminutive political
corpse has issued orders for the passage OF
the Force bill, and, in spite of their knowl
edge of his untimely demise, the White
House Republicans appear to be determined
to obey the command. They stand upon the
burning deck, and prepare for the final ere
nation. without any expectation of the CON-
ing OF him who gave the order. Casablanca
would not have been so foolish as that.

When the business world is praying for
financial relief, when trade urgently calls
for bankruptcy legislation, when litigants
demand provision for the Supreme Court,
when men of letters are asking for Justice
while these and other public interests are
neglected, the Senate of the United States is
deVOting its time to the consideration Of an

at the polls.
1t is high time for the Senate to drop the

The Farmers Alliance might have served
a useful purpose by combining itself to
rational methods OF promoting the welfare
Of the agricultural interests, but the course
which II has adopted can only conduct 1t to
the limbo Of all 'crapkism." Some OF the
declarations Of its platform are undoubtedly
sound and in the interest Of farmers OF the
country, but these are not distinct from the
principles CT one Of the great political
parties and consequently can afford no sup
port for separate party organization. For
Instance, 1t demands that 'our legislation
