CURRENT PRESS OPINION.

Fran, re Boston .idgertiSer.
Attorney General Miller's arguioent
against the claim that the Supreme Court
has jurisdiction over the Bering Sea ql,es-
tion is masterpiece of legal reasoning.
Hayseed Inconsistency.
From Me Boston journal.
1t is somewhat odd that, with all its
loud professions Of hostility to the legal
profession, the Farmers Alliance shouS
choose a lawyer as Senator Ingalls, suc-
cessor.
From he Ihiiddclphia Record.
If the President is going to discipline all
who have declared in opposition to the
Force bill he will have to begin at home
and include the Legislature of his own
state in his decoration of censure.
Lodge.
Fran the Chicago Times.
Now let there be Lodge in some vast
wilderness. There is no further use for
him IN the haunts of men,. If Nassachu-
setts would redeem herself in the minds
OF decent citizens let her two-of-a.kind be
dismissed in disgrace.
Those Lost Views.
From he 80. Paul Pioneer Press.
The attention of the Society of Psychi-
cal Research is respectfully called to the
fact that great deal of mystery exists as
to what q. tleveland's real views on the
silver question may be.
Quite So.
Fran he NeiD York Tribune.
Mr.. Cleveland is undoubtedly ''the most
popular Democrat in the United States"
So says the Montgomery (Ala.) Adcertissr.
Such casual remarks as this possibly have
tendency to induce Governor Hill to feel
that the post of honor is a nice soft seat
out Of the draft and far from the mad
ding crowd in the Senate of the United
States.
Mr.. Windows Last Speech.
From the NeD York Tribune.
The sudden death of Secretary Window
last evening will invest with more than
ordinary interest the great speech which
he had just made at the dinner of the
Board of Trade. 1t was an address of
unusual importance, strength and peril
nency.
The Unseated DeputatiOn.
From he NeU Fork Sun.
If the astounded gentlemen from Boston
who were not asked to take seat when
they called upon the President on Wednes-
day, would suppress their irritation at his
rebuff in favor of calm consideration of
its cause, they might conclude, as other
people do, that under the circumstances it
would have taken Il lot Of pretty power
fully unhuman nature to urge General
Harrison to adopt manner more pleas
ing to his visitors.
General Harrison was not built with an
abnormal warmth of gaed nature in gem
cral nor with an irrepTtssible impulse to
forgiveness and gratitude toward his enc
mics, and his conception of gentleman
is not of that petty stamp which forbids
him to express his feelings on public
matters when they might sound harsh to
his audience.
We confess to no surprise when this
Boston deputation called Mt the White
House to tell General Harrison what they
would like to have him do about silver
the President neither took nor offered Il
chair, but gave his visitors a somewhat
unwelcome lecture upon the natural fit
ness of things in politics, all standing.
Mr.. Ingalls,.
From he Nei0 York ECOlH0 Post.
Mr., PETERS defeated competitor, ingalls,,
is, in the meantime, getting that consola-
ton which awaits all oharatans in our
day in the shape of invitations to lecture
This, too, is the time to consider and act
promptly on proposals from dime muse
ums. There is u golden moment, in these
careers, for purposes of public exhibition
which once gone never returns. Mr. In
gals, too, carries with him into his retire
mcnt the proud consciousness that he is a
male. OF this characterize Legislature can
deprive him, The "Epicenes," whom he
laugh at him, but they cannot deprive
him, even in this hour of adversity, Of his
sex. History will record that he was the
most distinguished male, Q,ta male in the
United States Senate towards the close of
the first century Of the national existence
