y o1NEy ON JUSTICE LAMAR.

A GOOD Democrat IS n good Democrat
wherever he may come from ana me
Massachusetts Democrat is generally one
~ the unrest articles OF the kind to be
found. Nevertheless n Mafsachuse''s
Democrat cannot help being Massa-
chusetts man. even If he is a Democrat
AMI a Massachusetts man, while "iiiils
TO allow people born out OF Massachusetts
70 live. cannot. Of course, concede to them
much more than existence. Attorney-Gcn-
eral Oney, as the Attorney-General OF
the United States. was naturally put for
ward to present 10 the Supreme Court OF
the United States the resolutions adopted
by the bar Of that tribunal occasioned
by the death Of Mr.. Justice Lamar. When
occasions Of this sort arise, it is expected
that the gentleman presenting the re-
solutions shall be one so favorably i'm
pressed with the virtues of the deceased
that he will take advantage Of the oppor-
tunity to deliver an unqualified eulogy OF
him. Let is see how Mr.. Olney used his
chance.
After telling the court that he did not
believe that the deceased, a Justice Of
that court. ever practiced law as his sole
or chief occupation for any one term Of
five consecutive years, that he could not
discover that he could have made the
practice Of the law his sole or principal
pursuit for more than ten or twelve years
in all, he added:
And it is the highest possible tribute
to his natural genius, to his legal instincts
and extraordinary intellectual gifts that,
in spite OF all the disadvantages under
which he labored Mr.. Justice Lamar per-
formed his part as a member of this high
court of judicature not only TO the ac-
ceptance Of the bench and the bar. but
with such intelligence and well-directed
zeal and devotion that only failing health
and strength could have prevented his
ultimately attaining decided judicial
eminence."
Now those who love faint praise can
satiate themselves here. Mr.. Olney did
not tell the court that Justice Lamar
ought never to have been appointed Jus
tice In that court. Oh, no, The Massa-
chusetts gentleman is a gentleman even
If he Is Democrat. But he came so near
telling them so, that we suspect Justice
Lamar's family will tell Mr.. Oney the
next time they hear he is going to deliver
eulogy upon the dead Justice TO be good
enough to aim his guns at the memory of
some other man. and pass Lamar by.
Great allowance. however. must be made
for Mr. Olney. He spoke under the op-
pressive knowledge that Lamar was not
born in Boston and, considering the diff
hculty of the case, we think he struggled
through passably well.

The effect OF this daily line On ,ho

guest Of his warm-hearted host.
Since the war al this has sadly
changed. Desolated by the war and the VIC

ruined the people absolutely and the
competition Of the West. which In ante

There are a great many fools in the
world yet, but the biggest fools in the
United States are the Republicans of
Franklin county. Pa. At their recent
county convention they adopted the fol-
lowing platform:
THAT we indorse the administration
OF President Harrison and point with
pride 10 the achievements Of the party
under his wise and patriotic leadership,
and especially TO his vigorous foreign
policy, which has caused our flag TO be
respected in all quarters of the world,
and we condemn as unpatriotic and un-
wise the act OF the present President OF
the United States in sending TO Hawaii
q Confederate commissioner to cause
American sailors to haul down the Amer
lean flag which had been raised over
those islands"
Did any one ever read so much non
sense In the same space? Here these
Pennsylvania Republicans neither had
sense enough to know that in hauling
down the flag the Democratic admins
tration was simply carrying out the an
nounced policy Of Mr.. Harrison just be-
fore leaving office. nor that Mr.. Ilount
IS not only not Confederate, but that
there have been no Confederates In the
country since 1865.
