HIS Mothers Bible.

Never in all the ages was there presented
q spectacle so touching in its tenderness, so
impressive in its moral beauty, and so elo-
quent in its suggestiveness as Grover Cleve-
land in the presence OF the assembled
thousands of his countrymen kissing his
dead mothers Bible in solemn sincerity OF
his purpose to protect the constitution OF
his country and impartially enforce the
written laws of the republic. How su-
preme the moment How solemn the occa-
sion to him as looking up he could see
that mothers lustrous eyes of love riveted
upon him and felt the warm glow of that
mothers cheek albeit she is in Heaven, by
the guidance of whose tender counsels, by
the holy fervor of whose passionate prayers,
by the sacred memory of whose devoted
love he made his way through poverty and
adversely to the highest pinnacle of fame,
and stands before the world to-day, the
greatest and grandest living American
Love for his widowed mother and reverence
for her hallowed memory has shone out
like brilliant night star along the checkered
pathway of his wonderful career, and we'd
ded him to the high and holy principles
of Justice equity and mercy which SO beau
tifully characterized his public as well Is

senator EanIkner fOr J..d0esIip.

Though the name Of Senator Faulkner
has not vet been formally presented to the
President as a candidate for the place OF
chief Justice of the Court of Appeals of the
District of Columbia, it is understood he
will be very strongly recommended for that
place, and the appointment will be very ac-
ceptable to him, as his inclinations are to q
judicial career rather than to remaining In
the Senate. If he is given this appoint
ment it is understood the Governor OF West
Virginia will appoint Mr.. Joseph Chiffon
to the Senate to serve until the next meet
ing of the Legislature. 1t is said the ap-
pointment of Senator Faulkner would not
be a violation of the home-rule system OF
appointments in the District of Columbia
for the reason that the Court of Appeals is
not altogether local court, but has juris-
diction of certain classes of cases under the
government, and that il is not, therefore, TO
to be expected that all the judges on Its
bench will be appointed from the members
of the District of Columbia. A large mum
Der of the leading members of the bar Of the
District have Endorsed Senator Faulkner
for the chief iusticeship. His appoint
ment would be acceptable to the bar as a
whole. It's members recognize the adyan-
tape in having the chief justice of the court
a man of experience on the bench. The
Senator's service on the District committee
of the Senate has made him thoroughly
familiar with the affairs of the District and
the laws in force here, so that he would &c

Goyernor-ele MacCorkle, of West Vir-
GINA, has recently been subjected to severe
comment by Republican papers for an al
legged declaration in Democratic canvass
at Charleston to the effect chat this coun-
try has seen the last election with negroes
at the polls" Mr. MacCorkle has deemed
it proper to publish letter, emphatically
disclaiming ever having said anything of
the kind. What he did say was that he
chopped this was the last election that we
should see United States marshals at the
polls" Mr.. MacCorke adds that he is one
"who believes in the right Of every Ameri-
can citizen, without regard to color or
previous condition, to vote and be at the
polls" The charge against Mr.. MacCor-
kle was silly one and hardly needed a
correction Baltimore Sun.
Gov. MacCorkle was right in making the
disclaimer. We leave too many errors to
the intelligence and good sense of the read
ing public.

The exiles of Erin who will celebrate day

peril perhaps of subsequent personal en-
counter with some of the reptiles expelled
from the Emerald Isle, as the legend has it,
by the first missionary--the anniversary of
their Patrick saint, will have in their re-
joicing the hearty goodwill, not only of
more remote descendants of Old Ireland
but of thousands of Americans who can
claim no inheritance in Hibernia blood and
the traditions of shamrock and shillalah.-

thry and his wearing of the green.
