The precedents are strongly against the
claim raised by some of the Democrats
that President Harrison should not have
filled the vacancy on the supreme bench
caused by Justice Lamar's death, but
should have left it to be filed by Mr..
Cleveland.
Chief Justice Marshall was nominated
by President John Adams January 81,
1901. He was confirmed at once, and took
his seat February 4, at the first session of
the supreme court held in Washington,
Just a month before President jefferson
was inaugurated, March 4, 1901.
Justice Barbour of Virginia died Febru-
airy "a, 1S41, President Van Buren nomi-
mated Peter V. Daniel in his place March
8, and he was confirmed before President
William Henry Harrison was inaugurated
the next day, March 4, 1S4l.
President John Tyler nominated Samuel
Nelson justice February 13, 1S45, and
he was confirmed before President Polk
was inaugurated March 4, 1S45.
1t should be noted, moreover, that each
of these appointments was made by re-
firing president just before the coming in
of new administration, marking politi-
cal overturn in the country more pronounc.
ed even than that of last fall, which will
be marked by the advent of Mr.. Cleve

Hawaiian Annexation.

The Hawaiian commissioners arrived at
Washington last Saturday to present their
case to our government in behalf OF the
annexation of the islands to the United
States. The Springfield Republicans
Washington correspondent undoubtedly
represents correctly the attitude of the adj
ministration on this question when he says:
President Harrison intends to proceed with
delberation in the negotiations and not to
accept the proposition for annexation un-
til he understands the entire situation.
He is having the secretary of state go over
the ground very carefully with the Hawa-
iian commissioners, so that there may be
no misunderstanding as to the feeling of
the people of the islands upon the project
of annexation nor as to the terms upon
which they will come under the protection
of the United States. One of these con-
ditions will inevitably be the adoption by
the islands of our tariff against all foreign
merchandise. This may interfere with
some of the imports from neighboring
islands, but as the bulk of the manufact-
ures used come from this country, it is not
believed that it will prove a serious diff
Guilty. The President and all the members
of his cabinet are fully determined that no
outside power shall interfere with the ne
gotiations between this country and the
Hawaiian commissioners, but they believe
that the provisional government is capable
of maintaining itself for some time to
come, while the negotiations go on, and
while the United States marines are at the
island ready to guard the interests of
American citizens. The President is will
ing to make his feeling in favor of annex
alton plain to the commissioners and he
believes that he will lose none of the cred
it of welcoming their proposition by leav-
ing some of the final acts of negotiation to
be perform by the next administration.

Gold Stocks Of Leading Nations.

As compared with other great CONNER
cial nations this country has no reason for
encouragement in regard to the quantity
of gold it holds, says the New York Press.
OF the four countries, the United States,
the United Kingdom, France and Germany,
France stands at the head OF the list, with
a gold stock of SSO0,O00 900; the United
States comes next, with S654, 900, 900, while
Germany has 5000, 100000 in gold and the
United Kingdom $4,000, 900, the least
amount of the four. Notwithstanding all
the talk about our loss of gold the fact re-
mains that the amount of gold, in the coun-
try is, on the whole, increasing. The
stock of silver in the country is valued at
$575, 200, 900, which is SIC, ,0O0, 900, less than
the gold stock. France successfully main
tans the gold standard while carrying a
silver stock of S70O,OO0,OO0.

1t was reported in Vienna two weeks ago
that the Russian town of Tikhvin, in Nov
gorod, was besieged by wolves, famished
and driven to desperate boldness by the in
tense cold and snow and consequent scarcity
of food. The hungry beasts were said to
be running about the outskirts of the city
in large packs, sometimes entering the
streets to seize whatever they could that
promised meal. Cats and dogs, and even
small children, had been so seized by the
wolves. The women and children were
kept indoors as much as possible, and
every man who ventured out went well
armed. The governor of the province, il
was said, had sent body of infantry and
chasseurs and sotnia of COssacks to de-
stroy the wolves.

Severe Weather Ahrond

This country has not been alone, by any
means, in suffering a winter of unusual
severity. A summary of facts gathered
from the foreign dispatches shows that
the bitter cold which has prevailed through
out Germany has far exceeded in intensity
anything experienced there for many years.
The snowfall, too, especially in Berlin, has
been the heaviest in years. Traffic in the
streets of the capital has been blockaded
several times this winter Railway traffic
has been interrupted all over the empire,
and the cold has been most severe. Many
people have perished from cold. Three
such deaths occurred in Berlin on January
Is. The port of Hamburg has been COM
pletely closed by ice, and fortnight ago all
the shipping in the harbor, including 1926
large steamers and over 100 large sailing
ships, was ice-bound.
/ The cold in Bohemia and Serva has
been extreme. In the latter country packs
/ of wolves, made desperate by hunger, have
appeared in the streets of the cities and
large towns. At Pozarewatz girl was de-
voured by the famished brutes, and stories
of similar tragedies have come from vari-
Gus parts of Europe.
In Russia, too, the cold has been exces-
sive and far below the normal. From
northern and central Russia temperature
of 80 to 80 degrees below zero is reported,
which is 81 degrees below the average. In
Siberia it has fallen to 45 degrees below
zero. In St. Petersburg for weeks wood
fires have been burned in the squares and
streets of the city in an effort to make nee
essary outdoor business endurable. The
streets have, however, been practically de-
serted and the double windows of bust
ness houses and dwellings are covered
with ice. In Moscow the temperature av'
eraged IS degrees below zero for over 81
days, during the end of December and the
first weeks of January. Occasionally
during snowfalls, it rose to near the zero
mark, while several times it fell to 80 de
grees below. The ground, usually frozeI
to depth of four to five feet during th'
winter, is now frozen eight feet down, Grip

President Harrison has nominated Hon.
Howell f. jackson of Tennessee to sue
ceed Justice Lamar on the United States
supreme bench. Mr.. Jackson is now the
Judge of the United States court for the
sixth Federal circuit, a position to which
Mr.. Cleveland appointed him in 1886. At
that time Mr.. Jackson was United States
senator from Tennessee, having been elect
ed in 1880. The fitness of his appoint
ment by President Harrison is universally
conceded, although, being a Democrat in
politics, a few Republicans disapprove it.,
and some ofSthe Democrats take the
ground that Mr.. Harrison had no moral
right to make such an important appoint
ment so near the end of his term of office e.
Judge jackson is 81 years old, is a man of
quiet manners, and distinguished in all his
relations in public life for his candid and
judicial treatment of all questions. The
appointment is surprise to him, Mr.. Har-
rison having had no previous consultation
with him or his friends on the subject.
When he takes his seat in the supreme
court, the court will consist of six Repub.
licans and three Democrats, the other Dem
ocrats being Chief Justice Fuller and tn G
venerable Justice Field of California.

A Salt Lake, Utah, despatch tells of a
bank cashier in that city who found sever
al counterfeit silver dollars in making up
his cash the other night. What first at
tracted his attention was the fact that the
counterfets seemed trifle larger than the
government coins. An assay showed that
they contained the requisite amount of
silver, but the alloy was not the same as in
mint dollars. There would be little chance
for the avarage man to tell the difference
The counterfeiters make profit of 35i
cents on each dollar, that being the margin
at the present rate of silver per ounce.

When the legislative appropriation bill
came up for consideration in the House,
in committee of the whole, Tuesday, Mr..

always dread to see on his feet on such an
occasion, made sharp exposure of the re-

with $50 Democratic majority, elected on
basis of retrenchment and reform. Mr..
Dingley said that the appropriations made
at this session would aggregate 1851 900,

Algernon Charles Sartoris, the husband
of Nellie Grant, died at Capri last Friday.
Mr. Sartoris was the son of an Engli sh

Miss Grant took place at the White House

tracted much attention at the time. Gen.
Grant was secretly opposed to it, but gave
no public sign of his dsapproval. The
marriage proved an unhappy one, and
though there has never been formal sep

Mr.. Sartoris, the elder, was very greatly
attached to his daughter-in-law, and kept
her and her three children with him as

This Is Meant for You.

It has been truly said that half the world does
not know how the other half lives. Compare
lively few of us have perfect health, owing to
the impure condition of our blood. But we rub
along from day to day, with scarcely thought,
unless forced to our attention of the thousands
all about us who are suffering from scrofua, salt
rbeum and other serious blood disorders, and
whose agonies can only be imagined. The mark
ed success Of Hoods Sarsaparilla for these
troubles, shown in our advertising columns
frequently, certainly seems to justify urging the
use of this excellent medicine by all who know
that theirblood is disordered. Every claim in be-
half Of Hoods Sarsaparilla is fully backed up by
what the medicine has done and still doing, and
when its proprietors urge its merits and its use
upon all who suffer from impure blood, in great
or small degrees they certainly mean TO include
you.
