WASHINGTON. Feb. 13.-The Old Guard Of the
Democracy is coming to the front with an en-
erRy that promises well for the future Of the

20 answer either question" We do not
quite understand this statement. in view Of
Mr.. GREsHAM's own report Of what he said,
namely. I" cannot be more explicit at this
time" II that Is not saying that he was
not at liberty to answer Mr.. THURsTON's
question. we do not know what particular
form u phraseology would be required to
express that idea.
But II makes little difference whether Mr..
GREsHAN's recollection Of the exact Lam
guage used. or MIR. THURsToN's. is the
moro accurate. Tho two versions agree
perfectly on the main point, which is that
Secretary GRESHAM. after consulting with
Mr. CLEVELAND. declined to give Minister
TnunsroS any assurance that the Admins
tration would not employ force in order to
disposscss the Provisional Government and
to restore the Queen. II anything. the
GRESHAM version is the more damaging TO
the Administration. There was distinct
menace behind the Sccretarv's remark that
II the Hawaiian revolutionists suffered in
any way cit would be in consequence OF
their own acts or attitude"
Thus It appears that In November, a
month before Mr.. CLEVELAND commune
Gated to Congress his discovery that the
war-making power did not consttutiOnally

tary OF State we're either actually contem-
plating the use OF force for the restoration
Of LILIUoKALASI or ucre niiiino TO ditop the
Provisional Government TO beiieue that such
uds their intention.
That Is to say. the original programme Of
the Administration was either to destroy
friendly Government by armed force. or TO
scare 1t out of existence by a threat OF force.
In either case the enterprise was equally
unconstitutional and infamous; In the lat
ter case little more contemplate. IL pos

Everybody understands that Mr.. PECK
ham owes his nomination TO the supreme
Court to his peculiar political activity.
Except for that. he would never have oc-
Cured to Mr.. CLEVELAND as possible sue
cessor OF the late Judge BhATCHPoRD.
He would never have occurred 90 any
member OF the bar of New York. When tho
death Of Judge BLATcHFoRD made va
cancy on tho Supreme Court bench. 1t was
assumed that IL would DO filed by the APP
pointmpnt OF New York lawyer. and ao-
cortingly the names or several men emf
Dent in the legal profession wero dis
cussed by tho bar rs those from among
which tho selection would DO likely
10 DO made. Never, wo venture tn say. did
the name OF Mr.. PECKuAM suggest itself to
any lawyer rs possibility. His tempera-
ment and legal experience are such as to
exclude him from consideration for judicial
place. In all New York. there is not law
yer whose chances OF getting on the State
bench by election or appointment are moro
:sbsolutely hopeless.
Tho very quality In Mr.. PECKHAM which
makes him unit for judicial place Is, how
ever, tho quality which has secured for
him his nomination by Mr.. CLEVELAND to
tho Supreme Court OF tho United States
IL is his crankiness. his bgotry. his mar
row partisanshlp. his turbulence OF spirit
A man OF n more thoroughly unphilosophic
mind could not be found. lie can't look at
n question apart from his own prejudces:
and his intellectual perversity would be
hardly less dangerous In Judge than
moral corruption itself.
Ifthe vacancy in the Supreme Court is to
be flied simply for the purpose OF crafty
Ing the revenge OF Mr. CLEVELAND. and
satisfying his pilue. Mr.. PEcKHAM Is Just
the man for the place. Otherwise. his mani
fold unftness for it ought to prevent his
ever sitting In that exalted tribunal.
