EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

The English propose to keep King 10
Bengula quiet hereafter by Offering him
protection in the Queens name and giving
him royal income along with an adequate
tract OF land. If his Majesty has read
history he is doubtless aware that the
English do not always keep the promises
which they make TO kings and princes whl
surrender. He can obtain plenty Of in
formation upon this subject by getting
Il plain and true report or the fate that
has befallen other African and Asatic
potentates who have fallen under the
power or the wiles OF England. We do
not say that he ought to hold out against
the South Africa Company, but We can
tell him that he had better not put too
much faith IN England's promise TO pay
or in English protection.
New York Herald: Unfortunately poll
teal or personal squahble over the nOmi-
nation OF Mr.. Wheeler H. Peckham now
seems inevitable. The country has a right
to demand, however. that it shall be made
short and decisive.
II Mr.. Peckham is to be rejected let
him be rejected at once. If he is TO be
confirmed let it be done without delay.
A repetition of the abuse praciiced in the
case Of Mr.. Hornblower Of hanging up"
the nomination for months should not be
tolerated. There is 10 reason why the
pending nomination should not be dis
posed OF one way or the other Immediately,
and there are very important public rea-
sons why it should be.
New York World. Senator Hill IS re-
ported to be asking his brother senators
TO vote against the confirmation Of
Wheeler II. Peckham on the ground that
President Cleveland did not consult the
New York senators upon he nomination
and that 1t is distastesul to then.
We print In another column on this
page some views expressed by Governor
Hill during the second year OF President
Clevelald's fiIst tom, which are a pretty
severe commentary upon the Senator's
present position. The fact that elr Hill
was an Executive then and IS a senator
now has. Of course, changed his point Of
view. BIT some Of the facts and princi.
pies to which Mr. Hill save such vigorous
EXPIRE ssiOa are equally true now. though
Senator Hill has turned his back on
them
1t is true that the control of patronage
makes senators Office brokers and execu-
tives the bondhoders OF such office.
brokers'" The Yielding to this claim
makes senators in effect assistant Presl-
dents" If Senator Hill. for example, can
say, by virtue of the support of his fellow
senator's. that the President may appoint
Rufus W. Peckham a Supreme Court
judge. but shall not appoint Wheeler H.
Pcckham, Is not Senator Hin virtually
President for the State Of New York?
What is to prevent him from insisting
that Isaac II. Maynard shall be appointed
II the justice is 10 be selected from New
York?

The case OF Mr.. HOPE Elias, who was
nominated by Mr.. Cleveland for the col
lectorship of the Western district of North
Carolina, and who subsequently retired
from the contest. suggests TO the New
York Sun opportunities for the political
advancement of Mr.. Peckham. who
has just been nominated for place on
the Federal Supreme Court.
The Sun, Ike all of Senator Hills inti-
mate political friends In New York, is
making fight against Mr.. Peckham's
confirmation. Its advice in this matter
is. OF course. purely disinterested Our
brilliant New York contemporary says
that Kope was q man OF unpopu.arity
In North Carolina. He was persona non
grata TO Senator Vance. The reason for
his unpopularity is not given.
