Judge Bradlcy's Successor.


A despatch from Washington contains
this statement:
Little now 10 heard OF the successor 10 the late
Supreme Court Justice BaApLrr The eossip 10 that the
choice lies between Secretary TaAor and Attorney.
General MiLLKa"
The President could not do better than to
appoint one Of these men. That one is
BENJAMIN F. TRACY.
While 1t Is well to select members OF the
Supreme Court from the circuits to which
thay are to be assigned. geographical
considerations should be subordinate to tho
question Of fitness. and II Is no reflection on
the lawyers or Judges OF the Pennsylvania.
New Jersey. and Delaware Circuit to say
that no one among them Is more conspicu-
ously 1T to adorn the bench Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States than the present
Secretary OF the Navy.
Besides. In an appointment OF this kind It
is important not only that tho Judge shall
be highly qualified. but that his fitness shall
be well and widely known throughout the
country; in other words. that he shall have
q national reputation.
Such reputation Gen. TRAoY has. For
many years he has occupied prominent
position In the front rank Of New York law
yers. He has been on the bench Of the
Court Of Appeals of this State. and while
there he wrote one Of tho most notable
opinions ever delivered by that distin-
gulshed tribunal. the decision In the
STORY case. which established the right
OF property owners to compensation from
the elevated railroads. His appointment to
the Supreme Court at Washington would
give satisfaction to his friends and admir-
ers In both parties. and would be An excel
lent thing for tho President, for the country.
and for the administration OF justice.

they are all represented alike in tho Convsn-

Tho Backsliding Of Benjamin.

Some Of the friends OF the Hon. BENJAMIN
HARRISON have appealed unconscously to
the risibleS OF generation that knows
BENJAMIN, by including In their biographical
sketches OF him some remarks which he
made In 1889 in celebration OF civil service
reform. Here Is a favorite extract:
81 am an advocate of civil service reform. Ny brief
experience at Washington has led to utter the WISH
with an emphasis do not often use. that might for
ever be relieved OF any connection with the
of public patronage covet for myself the free and
unpurchased support OF my fellow citizens"
This sort Of talk ascrlbed to an Indiana
Republican was sufficiently humorous In
1885, All persons familiar with Mr.. HAIR
RIsoN's habit in regard to the dis
tribution Of the Federal patronage in In
diana during his term az Senator in
Congress from that State. know that n more
insistent and greedier snout has never
been dipped into the Washington trough;
and to revamp his ten-year-old expression
OF the horror with which he wished to have
truly good persons notup to snuff think he
looked upon the public patronage. is almost
cruel fun. Wee cannot help thinking that an
enemy hath done this.
By the enforced and. practically. the pur-
fellow citizens as no has appointed to office.
the Hon. BENJAMIN HARRISON has got him
self renominated. No other President. not
even GROVER CLEVELAND. has used the
civil service more ruthessly or more effect
lively as adelegatc-getting machine. Still.
his high old Roman defamation in praise
Of civil service reform ought to be remem-
bered. Ten years ago he was anxious. or
thought that he was anxious. or wanted
souls innocent OF the language OF Bun
cOmbe to think that he was anxious. for
ever to be relieved OF any connection
with the distribution OF public patronage
1t Is In tho power OF the Democratic party
to relieve him and his anxiety. and make
his connection with the distribution Of tho
public patronage cease. Gen. HARRISON
must be saved from his practices OF 1892,
and restored to his pr!nci pies OF 1882.

II can do what please with her. for

by hig fool named IiERSCKovITZ until Monday
last. when he was arrested for scOurging Mrs.
HEGsCKovIrz till she screamed. He scourged
her In the Russian way with knout because
she Ind displcascd him by taking four cents
out OF his pocket to buy milk for the baby.

largo in this country. He has survived the
general wreck Of his kind. In ancient times.
In most parts of the world the wife had no
rights which her hustnn! was bound to re-
sprct. The husband could scourGe. larrup. or
tronnce Ills wife whenever he got mad at her.
or whenever he thought she would be bettered
by that kind OF discipline. and no could. at his
pleasure. subject her 10 other pains and penal
tics that were still harder to bear than even
naturalization. Whenever the husband
chos" TO assert his privileges or his preroga-
tive the wife was helpless. though he might
find it hard to Keep her from screaming when
sconigcd Even some excellent saGes held
that wives should be scourged at times. for
how else could they be kept in order?
Tho ancient custom still survives In some
part, OF the world. Even English Judges Of
modern times have held 1t to be lawful for
husband to beat his wife when she deserved u
beatng.
Tho procedure Of HEnsCKovrrz In New York
offers evidence VI the survya! Of tho ancient
idea and custom In isolated casos. Il can do

and therefore 1t Is that we are Interested In
him. 1t Is possible that the ancient practice
OF wife scourGing is still In vogue In that
mountainous part Of eastern Europe from
which no came to this country.
But We cannot permit HEGscKovIrz to run at
large In New York. His wife will be safer
when he is behind tho bars. We have abo-

ment by Mr.. Harry Eane Niilbanh, i'll
which he endeavors to exonerate his

FINANCE AND TRADE.


ne bu5lneSS Observation-Disclosures ACLAVlbY
In Domestic Trade.
NEW YORK, April 2.-R. @. Dun 6
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
The business outlook is distinctly inn
proving. There has come a distinct in
crease in the marketing Of manufactur-
ing products, and greater activity in
many lines OF domestic trade. The
manufactures are doing we'll The dis
tubution of cotton manufacture has
been remarkably large and the results
Of trade generally satisfactory. The
woolen manufacture also shows distinct
improvement in some branches. The
boot and shoe business is also increas-
ln8ly active, shipments now exceeding
last years, and orders being large and
urgent.
Reports from other cities are gener-
ally improving. From Boston decided
improvement is noticed in the demand
for many lines of products. Especially
in dry goods. Mills are well employed,
and there is a rush for boots and shoes,
the movement of leather is good, and
trade in rubber goods is steady. The
furniture trade improves, and while
domestic wool is quiet Australian sold
largely. At Philadelphia the dry goods
trade at retail is better and at wholesale
unchanged, with wool very quiet as
manufacturers lack orders and complain
of low prices. The depression in iron
continues, though, it is thought, bottom
prices have been reached and bar mills
have full orders. At Chicago large
increase is seen in merchandise sales,
and collections in dry goods equal last
years, while in clothing and shoes they
are not quite satisfactory, though no
special complaint is made. Receipts of
grain and flour show great increase, but
of other products some decrease. At
Memphis trade is dull At New Orleans
business is only fair, cotton being dull,
but sugar strong and active, and at
Savannah business is Stacker.
Speculation during the week has been
very active. In the iron trade bottom
seems to have been reached More busi-
ness is seen at Philadelphia, and many
furnaces haye ceased production, so that
fewer forced sales are reported, though
new and large furnace in Alabama
begins work. No Improvement is seen
in bar iron. but some in plates and struc-
tural iron the demand than year ago.

Sensational Maryland Elopement

WESTMINSTER, Md, April "A sen.
sation has been caused here by the sim
ultaneous disappearance of the wife Of
Wilson Sheetz, of this county, and
Elder Bonsack. Bonsack is a Dunkard
preacher, and well known throughout
the county and in Baltimore, where he
had frequently preached. He owns a
farm on which he lived, is stockholder
of the First National bank. and was
considered well to do. He is the father
of several grown children. Mrs. Sheetz
has hitherto borne an unblemished rep
utation and had always apparently
been devoted to her husband and three
CONS, one of whom is married and has a
family of his own.

The STEAMER FIRE.
The Worst Regarding Cincinnati's
Disaster Not Known.
THIRTEEN ARE CERTAINLY KILLED

And IL Is Believed by Many That
thesLoss of Life Will Exceed That
Number = Divers to Search the
Sunken Hull for Bodies-Passen-
gers Said TO BE Missing.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, April 2.--The total
loss of life by the burning Of the steamer
Golden Rule at her dock here Thursday
night now seems certain will be thir-
teen, and probably more. The list of
those lost so far as obtainable is as fol-
lows; Miss Nettie Maloney, Frank T.
Riley, second mate; Buck Warner,
steyedore; Billy Madison, stevedore.
All of the above are of Cincinnati.
There were from six to fifteen deck
hands and roustabouts at work in the
hold at the time of the explosion that
fired the boat. One roustabout that es-
capped from the hold reports that nine
men were i'll it when he escaped. The
first mate, Barney Connell. last saw the
second mate, Riley. on the boiler deck.
The tlre started near o hatchWay, and
he thinks he may have gone down to
save the men at work below. There are
stories by spectators of seeing women
jump overheard and men struggling in
the water.
eSlcfuay AFTERNOON cannon was
fired over the wreck of the steamer
Golden Rule in hopes of raising some of
the bodies. Stories are being circulated
to the effect that there might have been
as many as eighteen men in the hold,
Dlne on each side of the vessel.
AS the mate is dead, there is no one
who can state positively the number of
roustabouts who We're handling the
freight when the vessel caught fire, and
nothing will be known until the hull is
visited by divers. Diver Earhart and
his assistant began the work of exploring
the hull yesterday afternoon by recon
noitering about the wreck.
The porter of the Golden Rule said
today that he had noticed that an I'M
usually large number of ladies and
several children We're aboard the boat,
He believes that more passengers than
Miss Maloney perished either by being
drowned or We're burned to death.

FOUND DEAD IN BED.
Sudden Death Of Judge Drake, Late Of
the Court of Claims.


WASHINGTON, April 2.-Hon. Charles
d. Drake, late chief justice of the
United States court Of claims, retired,
was found dead in his bed yesterday.
Justice Drake died at the advanced
age of 81 years. He death was wholly
unexpected and without warning. DIR.
Joseph Tabor johnson, who has been
his attending physician for the past
twenty years, stated that the justice
was attacked with a slight case of grip
three wceksago. His condition was not
at any time serious enough to occasion
alarm. Thursday evening Justice Drake
walked to the West Presbyterian church
to attend the services there.
After church the justice went home
and chatted with his family awhile be-
fore retiring for the night. He seemed
to be better than at any time since the
attack of grip. When he was called in
the morning he did not respond, and
when his room door was opened it was
found that he was dead.
The remains of Judge Drake will be
cremated and the ashes taken to St.
Louis. This is in accordance with the
terms of his will.
