The PRESIDENTS CUNNING.
LIN the appointment of Judge jackson He
Takes 1t Ont of Gresham.

Takes 1t Out OF Gresham.
In the appointment of Judge jack
son to succeed the late Justice Lamar
on the bench of the United States su.
preme court President Harrison has
performed another of the occasional
acts which should make his admins
tration creditable on the pages of his
tory. He has named the man as the
one democratic jurist at the south
whose appointment would be con-
frmed by the present republican
senate. If he had appointed partisan
repu blican the democrats in the senate
would have been justified in prevent
ing the confirmation of the appointee.
The republican politicians in and out
OF congress do not like the presidents
action But the people will approve it.
When Mr.. Cleveland became presi-
dent, March 4, 1885, there were but few
men on the bench of the various fed
eral c0urts who had held Office by the
commissions of presidents in office be-
fore the war. Judge Ogden Hoffman,
since deceased, of the California dis
trict, was appointed by President Fill
more in 1851. Later democratic ap-
pointees were Judge Deadly. of Oregon;
Judge Nelson, of Minnesota, and
Judge Love, of Iowa. With these ex-
eeptions every judge of the United
States courts was a republican at the
time of his appointment During the
long period of time from the accession
of President Lincoln in 1861 to the ac-
cession of President Cleveland in 1885
hardly democratic jurist was ap-
pointed to fill any place on the bench
of the federal courts Associate Justice
Stephen j. Field was republican
when, in 1868, he was appointed by
President Lincoln.
vacancy occurring on the bench of
the sixth circuit court in 1887, Presi-
dent Cleveland appointed Howell e.
jackson, then a senator from Tennes-
see, to fill the place. 1t was the first
time in almost d generation when an
original democrat was authorized to
interpret the law in any of the federal
courts. Judge Jackson has the legal
learning, the personal accomplish
ments and the other qualities to fit
him for the high place which he is to
occupy.
The wisdom of President Harrison in
making this appointment may have
been sharpeped by the cunning polit-
ical instincts which he possesses
IN a remarkable degree. He has re-
1ieved the incoming president from a
great responsibility and from situa-
ton which might have become one of
difficulty. He has shut out Judge
Gresham from the possibility of ascend
ing the supreme bench by an immedi-
ate appointment from Mr.. Cleveland.
He has fed fat an ancient Indiana
grudge. In serving the purpose of
browning his last days in office with
the credit of a splendid appointment
he has defeated the aspir atoms of a
man whom he regarded as his enemy
and he has released his successor from
n close quarter which might have
proved superlatively uncomfortable

\ Big Price for Potatoes.

CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-Potatoes will soon
be among the Injuries of life Tubers
that sold here yesterday at wholesale
for so and IS cents a bushel could not
be touched to-day for less than 81, and
81 % is predicted by tomorrow. The
advance is attributed to the intense
cold and blockaded condition of the
railways, especially those running to
the northwest Stocks in Chicago have
been steadily decreasing and the dan
ger of shipping potatoes ir cars that
are liable to be blockaded for weeks,
with a temperature below Zero have

IN THE CABINET.

Hawaiian Annexation the subject OF q
Cabinet heeting-In Certain s;ontingen-
Giles the Queen and Her Niece Would Be
Pensioaed
WASHINGTON, Feb 1L-Alf the menu
bers of the cabinet were present at the
meeting yesterday, which lasted nearly
an hour. The principal topic discussed
was the action of Minister Stevens in
establishing protectorate over the
Hawaiian islands In view of the fact
that the next steamer leaving San
Francisco for Honolulu is scheduled for
Tuesday, the 18th inst, it is not be-
lieved that any definite action viii be
taken approving or disappearing of
Minister Stevens action until the day
before the departure of the steamer for
the islands.
Secretary of State Foster was the
first to leave the White house after the
cabinet meeting. He intimated that
the government had plenty of time to
act in a deliberate manner and, while
the approval or disapproval of Mr..
Stevens action was necessary, yet, in
view OF the impossibility of reaching
him, other than by mail communica-
ton, immediate action in the premise S
was not deemed necessary.
With regard to the story to the effect
that Liliuokalani is willing to abdicate
and withdraw all claims upon the pay
1nent of indemnity by the United States,
it may be said that, while this govern
ment, in the event of its assuming
charge of the islands, will doubtless
provide for her and the young princess
by annuity, or otherwise, there will be
no provision made for indemnifying
her for any of the crown, property OF
which she may be dispossessed by an

THE DEPLETED TREASURY.
Facts Concerning Republican Extrav:
gance Leaking Out.

Facts Concerning Republican Extravl-
gance Leaking Out.
Now that the election is over, and
the danger of Immediate injury to the
political aspirations of the republican
party is past, the secretary of the
treasury is gradually admitting the de-
pleted condition of the nations IL
nances. The showing is one that
should condemn the g. o. p. for
for all time utterly unworthy of
public confidence or trust. Official
salaries were withheld and the pay
ment of many obligations deferred, in
order to blind the people, as to the true
state of affairs, but now the dire re-
ults of billion-dollar congress are be-
ing exposed. The estimates for a PEN
sion appropriation were increased from
time to time until the aggregate is a
startling one, though probably below
the actual amount which will be re-
.guired. Nine millions have been ap-
propriated for public buildings, yet not
a dollar has been expended. and con-
tracts could not be entered into be-
cause there are no funds with which to
meet the expenses thus incurred.
Representative Dingley, of Maine,
shows himself a republican statesman
OF the regulation gauge. He has not
examined the treasury report or in
formed himself of it's contents, but,
with lame attempt at whitening sar-
casm, saws: 1.-THE democrats are never
happy unless they are trying to prove
to the world that the United States is
on the verge of bankruptcy" He is of
the same pattern of man as that Ohio
Justice of the peace who, on having an
alleged criminal arraigned before him,
said: 81 don't know anything about
this here case and don't want to. know
anything about it. l have satisfied
myself that the prisoner at the bar is a
democrat, and therefore pronounce him
guilty as charged"
But Representative Mcmillan OF
Tennessee, one of those officially en-
gagged in an investigation of the
treasury, treats the matter in the
way its Importance demands, and
as the people of the country, whose
money is to be accounted for, desire.
They have right to know the condi.
ton of the treasury, and they demand
full information on the subject. 1t is
not matter of affecting the financial
landing of the nation in the eyes of the
world, but of learning the exact situa,
ton, with view of intelligently meet
ing its require ments. If the steward
ship of the republican party is shown
to have been false and corrupt, if wan
ton extravaganza has brought about g
depletion of the treasury. any attempt
to conceal the fact would simply place
the democrats on level with the of
tenders. The former are about to as
sumo control of the government at the
call of the people, and from a purely
business point, if no other, stock should
be taken before they are placed in
charge. They cannot be held to answer
for the gross acknowledgement of theil
predecessors. The republicans may
squirm, but they must face the conse
quences of their own offenses.

A TREASURY DEFICIENCY.

Secretary Fosters Juggling Methods Com
ing to Light.
Secretary Fosters detailed statement
of the condition of the treasury is an
other affair of bookkeeping. Out of the
mazes of its figures, however. we find a
result strangely at odds with his own
claim of surplus.
Mr.. Foster states that his availa bic
cash revenue for the current fiscal year
will be 1856, 671, $50, and he estimates
that his expenditures will be S464, 671,
$50, leaving surplus at the end of The
year of 81, 600, 900. He also asserts that
he has about S27. Ou0. 600 on hand. in adj
dition to the 500, 900, 600 gold reserve.
Mr.. Foster knows that this sum is not
available. 1t is as genuine, however,
rs his prospective $4,000, coo surplus.
