Judge Lewis and the President.

The following paragraph is not very
creditable TO the President of the United
States. II Is copied from the Lynchburg
Necs, which paper, after saying that the
bar Of Richmond had recommended Judge
LEWIS for judge of the new circuit court
In the Fourth circuit, adds:
"The RICHMOND DISPATCH also warmly fayors
Judge Lewis's appointment aud We have no
doub, as choice between Republicans no would
be warmly endorsed by every one who knows
him. We fear, however, that those Democratic
endorsements Of ca honest and just man for .
iudgeship will bo damaging 10 the prospects Of
Judge Lewis ia the estimation OF the President
He will most probably prefer to make his sslec-
ton from those least endorsed by Democrats aud
most endorsed by the extreme members OF his
own party. That Is very much like Harrison's
way Of dispensing honors as favors We never
thsloss venture 70 pas In our plea for Judge
Lewis, and tossy that he hss been ever aimee the
war q consistent Republican, and for nearly
twelve years the able and upright presiding
Judge OF the Court Of Appeals Of the Democratic
State Of Virginia. That ought 70 commend him
20 tho favorable consideration OF the President
in making bic choice among the applicants"
There is rumor in circulation in WASH
ington that the President has not vet de-
cided that he will not appoint q Democrat
or two under the new statute. We do not
expect him TO DO any such thing. As 70
the rest. we should regret very much If
the action Of the Richmond bar were to- re-
suit In depriving Judge LFwis Of the APP
polntment. We do not much fear that the
President viii prove himself TO he 50 small
man.

In reference to the contention that tne
President Of the United States would no.
have the right TO make new appointments
OF circuit Judges If any of his nominees
should decline TO serve or be rejected py
the Senate. because the President has tue
right only 10 fll vacancies that may nap
pen.p and there would be no such va
cnnciesn as are contemplated in the new
law. we remark that in the uniteu o'Ases
Senate that construction OF tue s"
words in the Federal Constitution op'ain-
cd for many years, but was finally COM
pelled 70 civo way to the CONSTRUCTION
which holds that the words anu II W

LIFE'SPAGECLOSED
Death Of James Redpath, the Noted
Journalist and Author.
He Succumbs to Injuries Recently Re.
ceived He Was a Warm Friend
to the Irish Cause.
soMErHING ARolLr HIs CAREER.

NEW NoBK, Feb. 11.-James Redpath,
the famous Irish Nationalist, journalist
and lecturer and vice-president of the
Anti-Poverty Society, who was run
down by Fourth avenue horse-car OPP
posite the post-office one day last week,
died at 9;05 a m at st. Luke's Hospital
from the effects of his injuries.
Ever since Mr. Redpath was re-
moved to ST. Lu1e's from the Chambers
Street Hospital last Saturday his con
dition has been regarded as extremely
critical. The wheel of the car passed
over the left arm as it was bent in
ward, bruising and decorating all the
smaller bones and crushing the
muscles, which resulted in paralysis of
the arm and almost the entire left side
OF tie body.
James Redpath was born at Berwick-on-
Tweed, England, in 1888, ana emigrated with
his parents to Michigan in 1918. He became a
printer, newspaper correspondent and edit
or and was Icing connected with the
New York Tribune He became emigra-
tion agent of the Haytien Govern
ment in the United States and afterward
consul at Philadelphia He was war
correspondent during the civil war and
established at Boston in 1868 the Red
path Lyceum Bureau He was an ardent
advocate OF rights in Ireland" and a
pronounced abolitonst He was the au-
thor Of The Rowing Editor "A Hand Book
to Kansas Territory The Public Life OF
Captain John Brown" Echoes OF Harper's
Ferry" and "A Guide to HaytL" One Of his
latest ventures was Redpath's Weekly, which
suspended recently
James Redpath was better known in recent
years through his connection with the Irish
movement lie first got interested in it
Through making trip to Ireland as a CORE

through Ireland during the partial famine
Of 1879 and 1850 made him a complete con.
vert TO the doctrines of the land league,
and his letters, which were widely copied.
had more 70 do with awakening American
| sympathy than any other agency at that
| time. Coming back to this country he gave
a series OF lectures to crowded houses,
which had further effect in the same direc-
| ton. Returning to Ireland he threw himself
heart and soul into the agitation and delivered
| q number OF speeches at nationalist meetings
tlch exceeded those Of almost any OF the Irish
| agtators in violence OF tone. He de.
nounced Chief Secretary Forster and
| the Irish landlords in unmeasured terms.
| When some Of the local leaders
were thrown into prison Redpath filled their
engagements and the Government did not ar
rest him. So absorbed in the new movement
did Redpath become that on his return to New
York he started an Irish weekly paper, at.
tended all the Irish conventions and for some
years did not touch any other movement

ENGLAND AND BRAZIL.

How American Reciprocity Works the
Commons Sir James FERGUSON An
nounces That Britain Can Not Demand
the Same Rights in Trade as Have Been
Granted to the United states.
LONDON. Feb l1.-Sir James Fergus
son, of the Foreign Office. answering a
question in Parliament relating to the
American reciprocity treaty with Brazil
and as to whether Great Britain would
have equal commercial advantages
in Brazil with those bestowed by
the treaty on the United States,
replied that Great Britain had no
commercial treaty with Brazil and
could not, therefore, demand the same
trading rights as those bestowed by the
treaty on the United States. The rec
iproeity treaty between the United
States and Brazil has aroused much I'M
easiness in trading circles here, espe-
cially as by the Governments own adj
mission, there IS no obligation ON
Brazil to accord similar favors to En-
gland. English merchants have we'll
established houses at Rio de Janeiro and
other Brazilian cities, and the British
trade with the Republic is very valu-
able. II is feared that much of this
win be lost to England The course of
the Brazilian Government in favoring
American trade is attributed to the hes
itation shown in Europe to recognize
the Republic, and to the fact that Dom
Pedro, the exiled Emperor. is connected
by the ties of kindred with the ruling
houses of England and Germany, the
last named country especially having
put off recognition until recently.
