has been devoted to teaching and the
study and illustration of methods of

fame of brilliant kind as an educator
and conscientious public servant.

state Legislature.
President Arthur appointed Mr.. ORA
per a member of the court of commits
sioners of Alabama claims, and he sat
i'll that court during the last year of its
existence, when over 1000 cases We're
tried. He was one of the most discreet
and energetic of judges and it was
largely due to his efforts that the court
was able to dispose of such great
amount of business.

struction Mr.. Draper made some judi
cious changes for the betterment of
schools and educators are agreed that
the state of New York owes to his wis

HE CANE TO GRIEF.

The death of Lord Chief Justice Cole
ridge brings to mind a queer incident in
his life. One of the counsel before him
used the expression: 'He came to grief. F"
He was Interrupted by Coleridge, who
did not understand him. What did he
mean when he said he. "came7 to grief?
After long explanation, and several
men present had testified that this was a
common expression. Coleridge subsidized
and the case continued. Coleridge was
frank enough TO acknowledge that he
had never heard the expression before.
This was not so surprising. Well-read
and as highly educated as the reader of
this is, he has probably missed thou
sand familiar phrases in his life. One Of
the best known lawyers in the west was
in the EAGLE Office yesterday and he ac-
knowledged that he had never heard the
Blackstonian Idiom: 'tSince the mind
of man runneth not to the contrary"

PRETTY MUCH BOSH.

The Topeka Capital matches up an edi-
torial excuse for the Republican platform
committee in their refusal to report
female suffrage platform. The Capital
says that-iis pretended reasons we
can't farther fathom-the committee,
being delegate one, and representative,
had no right to report such resolution.
That is all bosh. The committee had
just as much power to report such
plank as they would have had to report
a prohibition plank. The truth is the
committee knew that to report either one
of such planks the convention would
vote them down, which action would not
prove good political policy when it could
be SO easily avoided. Ii the convention
had wanted female suffrage or prohibi-
ton by even the smallest majority, they
would have had vote or a row. Major
tiles can't be sat upon. For like reason
the committee on platform reported 4
silver plank, in face of the earn
est protests of many leading single stand
ard Republicans, and the fear of many of
tiAS W e AnON Ills 10 U6 true.
But had they not done so, despite the
majority's order that all resolutions be
referred, such order would have been
reconsidered by the convention and
dozen silver planks offered for general
consideration, any one Of which were
full stronger than the one adopted by
the committee. The fact OF a proposed
or..submitted amendment TO the consti.
tuition constitutes no bar to the political
action of any party. The long and
short of it is, the ''old crowd" may have
had hand in steering that convention,
but new majority sentiment of such
dominated its spirit as would
have rendered it unwhoiesome for the
committee or for any other element to
have monkeyed with their band wagon.
Over half of the convention were union
