Hill. Maynard, Body and Company heard
something drop on Tuesday night with thud
audible from Montauk Point to Buffalo,

What Is It that the Supreme Court Judges
In Brooklyn lack? Is it manhood? Is it in
dependence? Is II due respect for the great
tribunal Of which they are members? 1t can't
be a knowledge of the law, for child knows
that there is ample power in their hands to
compel obedience to their official orders and to
punish rebellion against them. Then why is it
not done? Are they afraid Of anybody? Do
they think that McKane is bigger than the
Supreme Court, or than the people?
Tho Pennsylvania Republicans rolled up a
plurality of about $4,000 on Tuesday The
Pennsylvania kckers would probably be salts
fed with n somewhat smaller against
their Yale antagonists the football field

PeopIe living on the north side OF the Harlem
River have for several years been demanding
legislative action which would give them five
cent fares on the East Side elevated railway
system. The justice of their demand is OBVIOUS.
On the West Side passengers are carried from
One hundred-andffty-f fth-st. 20 the Battery for
five cents On the East Side they have to break
the journey at the river and pay two fares.
Bills to correct this injustice were introduced
both last year and this year but the Democrats
in control at Albany never let them even APP
proach the point of passage. We understand that
the attempt to secure the needfuI legislation will
be renewed the coming winter, and on account
of the Republican Legislature the hopes Of the
North Sders have been appreciably raised. The
Tribune urged the passage of the previous meas
ures, and believes that the relief sought should
be granted. The elevated monopoly in New
York should treat side Of the city as well
as the other and liberal policy in this matter
will pay in the long run. even if it can be had

lsThere A Worm In the Roscs

Courier Journal.
Why didt the President nom
mate Judge Jackson, a dem
ocrat. to succeed Justice In
mar IN the. Supreme Bench?
is a question which has been
widely discussed during the
last few days. Divers and
diverse views have been ex-
pressed, the latest by the
Philadelphia Times, which
answers the question in this
way:
We'll, Harrison is human,
and he does things for the
same reasons which animate
most other men.
"Harrison, being eminent
l,y human, is II good hu ter;
and, il he cherishes one resen-
timept above another, it is
the one OF which Judge Gres-
ham is the central figure.
"Had he nominated a re-
publican for Supreme Judge,
he would likely have failed OF
confirmation and Cleveland
would have inherited ihepow
er Of appointment. In that
event, Cleveland might ap-
point Gresham, and Harri.
son woul.l prefer a solid dem
ocratlc Supreme Court to all
Republicans With Gresham.
Judge Jackson will pretty
certainly be confirmed, and
| he is proha big the only man
tllna- hit of who is reasonbIy
safe in thcSauate. Harrison
wants the vacancy, filled; he
doesn't want Gresham and
he has done his level best to
}. trump the Gresham trick"
i OF course, if we are going
behind t h G nomination in
search of sinister motives,
thls ia probably as plausible
as otbersIthat have been AS
signed. But So many Others
have haen assigned, and O
. such varying nature, that'al
can not be true; and not
i knowing the true from thf
false, the Courier-.J Journal pre-
fers not to bother itself witt
any Of them.
!. Instead oftryingto answer
: the question as to the Presi
dents motive in this case W,
might ask another: Why u

| Yes, But 1t Isn't True.
Charlotte Observer.
From a very labored and
exhaustive article in the New
York Mail and EXPIRES, the
following paragraph is taken
as a pretty fair sample OF the
whole jeremiad against the
South:
what hope is there for a
section of the country which
is led by men who mingle
knayery and folly in their po
litical platforms? On ac-
count OF The political inequal
ity in the South, emigration
necessary to its development
goes by it to the North where
political dishonesty is not
the absolute rule. Capitalhas
been for years retiring from
the South. There is NO class
of Investment to- day so diff
cult to dispose Of as that To-
Gated in Southern regions"
The chief difficulty about
this precious excerpt is that
lit is not true. II is not only
a luisstatement but the re-
verse is the fact. Northern
manuiacturers--espccially of
textile iabrics-are selling nor
thern plants and buying Sou
thern plants. They are get

: material as possible.
OF course the "men who
mingle knavery and folly in
their political platforms" are
: the men who helped to elect
Cleveland in 1884 and again
in 1892. Col. Shepard never

question, is very different.
Privately they admit that if.
something is not done to re-
duce them the payments will
soon bankrupt the country,
but on the floors Of Congress
they bitterly resist every at
Tempt to reduce the amount
paid. The House committee
onappropriatio tionsa after care
ful consideration has recon-
mended some amendments to
the general pension appropri
alton bills, now being con-
sidered by the House, which
would If they became laws
save $50, 900, 900 a year but
the republicans are doing ev-
cry thing in their power to
prevent the adoption ofthese

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Eegular Correspondent,

far from being pleased with
the financial outlook. The
House Waysand Means COM
mittee made a favorable re.
port of Representative BY
nuns resolution authorizing
aninvcstigation OF the charge
publicly made that Sec. Eos
ter had made a deal with GER
tain New York bankers where
by he was to oexchange at par
for gnld$50, 600, 900 of U. s.
bonds. The fact that New
York bankers are seldom phil
nnthropists, and that they
are known to be furnishing
the treasury with gold caused
many people to believe this
charge; hence the necessity
for an investigation. The
public wants no secrat Jug
Cling with the finances OF the
country. 1t is only fair to
Sec. Foster and the present
administration to say that
they deny the charge of issn-
ing or OF wing promised to
tissue bonds for gold. Still it
is believed by some that Sec.
Foster, who is now in New
York, is there to break up
| the deal, because OF the pro-
posed investigation.
