Tho Vacancy in the Supreme Court.

The death Of Mr.. Justice BRADLEY makes
the third vacancy which has occurred on
the bench of the Supreme Court OF the
United States during the present Admins
tration at Washington. Since President
HARRISON was inaugurated Judge STANLEY
MATTHEWS OF Ohio and Judge SAMUEL +.
MILLER Of Iowa have died. and their places
have been filled by the promotion to the
Supreme Court OF HENRY B. BROWN, who
was District Judge of the United States for
the District OF Michigan. and DAVID D.
BREWER. who was the United States Circuit
Judge for the Eighth Circuit. which COM
prises Minnesota. Iowa. Missouri. Kansas.
Arkansas. and Nebraska.
The laws OF the United States require
that each OF the nine Justices OF the STU
preme Court shall DO assigned to one OF the
nine circuits into which the country Is
divided; and in addition to his duties as an
Appellate Judge Mt Washington he must
hold court in the circuit to which he is thus
assigned, at least as often as once In two
years. Mr.. Justice BRADLEY was assigned
to the Third Circuit. which includes Penn
sylvania, Delaware. and his own State OF
New Jersey.
While the President. in choosing Justice
of the Supreme Court. Is not under any
legal obligation to observe geographical
considerations. it is not improbable that
some resident OF tho Third Circuit will be
designated as Judge BRADLEY's successor.
No doubt the question Of promotion will
first DO considered. There is one Circuit
Judge. WILLIAM McKENNAN Of Washing
ton, Pa. who has been in Office many years !:
and there is GEORGE NJ. DALLAS. the adj
ditional Circuit Judge recently appointed
ing Circuit Courts of Appeal. Mr.. DALLAS
has not yet been confirmed by the Senate.
As he is Il Democrat. his promotion may he
regarded as out OF the question. There are
four District Judges in the circuit: EDWARD
T. GREEN OF Trenton. n. j., WILLIAM BUT
LER OF the Eastern District Of Pennsyl-
vania MARCUS W. ACHEsoN Of the Western
District of the same State. and LEONARD +.
WALES of the Delaware district.
II it is determined not to promote any OF
| these Judges. the natural thing to do would
seem to be to appoint as prominent and
able Republican lawyer as can he found
| in Pennsylvania. That State is usually
strongly Republican. and in this respect
has claims upon the consideration of Presi-
dent HARRISON which do not exist In behalf
Of New Jersey or Delaware. With the sim
gle exception OF the nomination Of Judge
WOODS Of Indiana to be one Of the new addi-
tional Circuit Judges. his judicial appoint
ments have been admirable: and this has
been notably the case in the Supreme Court
where the appointments made by Presi'
dent CLEVELAND were by no means SC
| ,vortby NJ commandatiOD
! Probably the new Justice Of the Supreme
Court will come from Pennsylvania.

The Lake Champlain Garrisons.

Last February Congress appropriated
100000 for the enlargement Of the military
post at Plattsburgh. with the view OF re-
enforcing the single company Of infantry
now stationed there. About the same time
the House Military Committee brought in
an additional measure for the establishment
of cavalry and artillery post at Swanton
junction, in Vermont. near the eastern
shore OF Lake Champlain and not far from
the Canadian border.
Now We find favorably reported from the
Senate Military Committee what appears
to be substitute for the latter bill, author
izing the acceptance Of a tract of land on
tho railway between Burlington and High
gate. in Vermont. and the erection there
ON of buildings suitable for military post.
II is clear. therefore. that the needs OF our
nothcrn frontier are not forgotten.
IN q report made not long ago by Gen.
ScHoFIELD to Mr.. PROCTOR. then Secretary
of War. 1t was declared to be essential ito
maintain at proper points on the northern
| frontier the nuclei OF troops OF all arms.
| infantry. cavalry, and artillery. where the
forces from the adjoining States might i'm
| mediatcly unite to take the initiative to
| prevent the enemy from using their water
| ways to move gunboats into tho lakes.
| With this end in view. II cavalry station.
| suitably located near the northern border
| OF New England. Is requisite" Secretary
PRoCToR. in approving this plan. declared
| that these were " measures not OF provOca-
| ton, but rather OF prevention and for the
continued preservation of peace"
There are two facts which may help to
sustain the bill now before the Senate. The
first is that the Lake Champlain region has
been historically shown by three successive
wars, the French and Indian. the Revolu-
tionary. and the war of 1912, to be natural
strategic field. Fort William Henry. Fort
Ticonderoga. and Plattsburgh are renowned
scenes OF military operations. while the
names OF DIEsKAU, MONTCALM and AM
HEI:sT. of ETHAN ALLEN and BuRGoYNE. OF
PROVOST. MAcoMB. and MAcpoNoUGH recall
the importance of the Lake Champlain line
between 1853 and 1915.
| The other fact is that Lake Champlain is
one OF the bodies OF water which. under the
treaty Of 1917. cannot be protected by more
than ono British and one American vessel
and this one mot exceeding 100 tons burden
and armed with one 1s-pound cannon" But
this stipulation would not prevent Great
Britain from holding fleet Of light gun
boats near by and moving them into the
lake. 1t may be suggested that. in the same
way, our Government could build torpedo
boats. and hold them ready for transfer to
Lake Champlain. But there are obvious nd
vantages. also. in the other plan. that OF
strengthening the military posts. Madison
Barracks. at Sackett's Ilarbor. now has q
| good garrison under Col C. O. BARTLETT
consisting Of four companies OF the Ninth
Infantry. and two companies OF the
Eleventh. With the strengthened garrison

To Whom Does Education Belong?

Apamphlct bearing the above title from
the pom Of tho Rev. Dr.. BoUQUILLoN Of the
Catholic University of Washington has
given rise to controversy among Catholic
theologians. To many OF his co-rcligionists
1t has seemed that DR.. BouQUlLLoN con-
cedes to the State measure Of control over
education which IS not warranted by the
authoritative teachings OF the Catholic
Church. BY the Jesuit Fathers holland
and HIGGINS. in particular. this conviction
has been set forth with SO much carnestness
as to call forth reioindcr 20 his critics on
the part of tho author Of the pamphlet. 1t
is worth while to outline. concisely and I'M
partially. the positions taken ny the parties
to this controversy.
The purpose Of DIR. BoUQUILLoN's PAM
rhlet Is declared to he to prove that educa-
ton belongs. first, to individuals isolated.
and. secondly. to individuals collected or,
In other words. to the family. the State, and
the Church. 1t belongs to these four to-
gether. and to none Of them exclusively.
Such Is his theoretical doctrine. and the
practical application Of it demands. he says.
tho combination. more or less harmonious.
Of these four interested parties in the work
Of schools. AS regards the point especially
controverted, viz the function of the State
In education. we find this defined in pages
90 of the pamphlet. Dr. BoUQUILLON be-
gins by affirming IL TO be equally unqucs-
tlonable that the State has no authority
over the teaching of religion and theological
schools. and that 1t has authority over the
schools which ii has Itself founded. The
disputed question is whether the State
IF Mt hn,tt
over schools OF human science founded
by individuals, families. and aSsocia
tions. This question is answered in the
affirmative. on the ground that such
authority is included in the general power
Of the State to promote the common gooc
and prevent abuses. 1t Is so included. be
cause education Ia ono OF the principa
agencies OF good or evil to the social body
From this principle 1t Is deduction tina
the State has the right to prevent the in
capable from assuming the role OF edu
Gators. 1t is held to follow that the Stat
can prescribe qualifications and exercis
supervision to assure compliance with TN
prescribed conditions. Another deduction
is that the State can soc 10 IL that parent
fulfil their duty of educating their children
and, II weed be. can substitute itself 10
them In the fulfilment OF this duty. But
II the State may coerce parents who neglec
the education Of their children. 90 als

As late as 1888. when DAVID BENNETT Hill
had become figure ofhigh Importance and
Significance on the stage OF national poll
tics. It used tobe urged by persons not well
affected toward him that he was not known
outside Of New York. He might be very
popular with the Democrats OF this State.
but the Democrats Of the South and West
knew him not and would have none OF him.
This was not even loosely true. but it was
repeated SO often by Mr. HILLS enemies
that they came to put grent faith in it,
That faith must be shattered now that
Senator Hill. has been received in Washing
ton by the representatives of the Southern
and Western Democrats with an eagerness
and enthusiasm which oven the Mugwumps
sourly have to record. And from every
State. even from the State OF Washington.
where the NeU York Times has long found
the surest hope of Stuliing. come evidences
OF Democratic admiration and appreciation
for the Democrat who has served his party
so long and faithfully. who has brought
about the rule OF the majority In New York.
and given the national Democracy place
OF vantage in the contest of 1892.
It is said that all the accommodating proofs
of Democratic interest and attachment
toward Senator HILL are the work Of poll
ticians. AS il the politicians had any
strength Of themselves. and did not derive
their place and power from the people
whom they represent. A man that is
slow in detecting what the people want is a
sorry politician. II experienced and prac-
tical politicians are we'll inclined toward
Senator HILL. it is not merely because they
are able to understand how valuable and
skilful his service to the Democracy has
been. Not man Of them is fool enough
to imagine that he can afford to be a Hill
man unless the majority of his constituents
are. The politicians who are for HILL are
80 because the people are.
In saying this we do not decide that
Senator HILL will be the Democratic candi-
date for President. But tho fight which he
has made for vigorous. practical. organized.
and united Democracy has done much to
arouse that thorough Democratic feeling
which now insures the nomination Of a
Democrat who will seek not to please HIM
self or any alien and hostile influences and
connections. but the Democratic party.
This is the glory OF Senator HILL. that he
has brought about a revival OF convinced
and irresistible Democracy. He has ended
the Mugwump interregnum. Under him. or
whatever other Democrat may be nomi.
mated. the Democratic party will be Of for
and by Democrats. and no others need apply

The similarity Of discussion upon the
Chilian matter found in tho English news
papers and In American newspapers that cul-
tivate a Mugwuppish sympathy with Chit's
attitude OF defiance. Is marked distinctly. A
prime cause Of agreement in sneering at the
American efforts to obtain reparation for the
Baltimore outrage is EoAN. They don
like the American Minister to Chill,

Many Of the Georgia cotton growers. who
have been grooming over the low price OF their
crop. are turning their attention to the tobacco
plant. which may possibly be raised in the State
with profit. There is now great demand for
tobacco seed in Georgia. and the State Com
missioner OF Agriculture says that vast
amount OF tobacco will be planted there this
year. We fear that the result OF this planting
will not be advantageous to the planters. To-
bacco OF one kind or another is already grown
in many of the States OF the Union. and tho
market is abundantly supplied with it. A great
deal Of it may be of very poor quality but it is
evidently acceptable to the consumers. many
OF whom. we are informed. buy three cigars for
a nickel.
The Georgia Commissioners opinion is that
the farmers OF the State should raise more
grain than they have been in the habit Of rails
ing. and We guess that this is n sensible opn-
ion. 1t is an opinion that was sustained by
