G. ON THE BENCH

One of the objections urged against Mr..
Peckham, nominated for associate Justice
of the supreme court of the United States,
Isl that he is too old, being in his SD year.
1t is commended that moi man ought to be
confirmed who is over 60 and it Is said
there was an understanding reached among
senators some time ago that any candidate
for the supreme bench whose age exceeded
60 would not be confirmed.
There is unquestionably some force I'm
this contention and it finds warrant in the
fact that there have been in the entire his
tory OF the court but four appointments
OF men whose age when appointed exceeded
60 years. These were William NJ. Strong
of Pennsylvania, 81 years old when APP
pointed; Ward Hunt of New York, 81; Sam
uel Blatchford Of New York, whose death
created the present vacancy, So, and L.. @.
G. Lamar, 62. A majority of the appoint
ments were of men in the SOS, among these
being Roger B. fancy, who was SO when
appointed, and Salmon p. Chase, who was
56. The men who acquired the greatest
fame on the supreme bench were still
younger. John Jay, the first chief justice,
was A years old when appointed, the cele-
brated John Marshall was 40, and Joseph
Story, one Of the country's most eminent
~jurists. was only 80 when he became an
associate Justice of the supreme court.
1t will thus be seen that the practice has
been to appoint men under the age of 60
to the highest judicial tribunal and 1t is
a practice founded upon sound reasons. I'm
doubtedly a man may be intellectually at
his best at the age Of So, but the cases are
extremely rare of men who long remain
at their best after attaining this age. 1t
is not judicious to put a man on the supreme
bench whose faculties may be at the point
of decline by reason of age and whose
years Of usefulness must in any event be
few,

PASSING OF THE SOCIAL SEASON

The advent Of Lent has brought to a close
a social season in Omaha that has been re-
markable in more than one respect. 1t is
distinguishable from other social seasons
first in it's brevity. Commencing late and
ending. early, 1t has allowed little time for
Intervening breathing spells and has COM
PEELED its devotees to crowd into a few short
weeks the entertainments which they would
willingly have spread more leisurely over a
longer time. But despite it's sudden ter
mination, 1t would be difficult to find many
among the so-called swell set who are not
| ready to join in the exclamation, "How glad
l am that 1t is all Overt"
Another feature of the season Just closed
has been its utter lack of brilliant functions.
Entertaining on a lavish scale has never
been very prevalent in Omaha and has been
less so this year than for several years past.
This is probably due in some degree to the
depression of hard times, which have made
people. rich as well as poor, more reluctant
to spend their money on objects that may be
dispensed with. This may explain the fact
that entertaining has run largely to after
noon receptions, kensingtons, informal din
ners, with a theater box party added now
and then, intended principally for the amuse-
ment of the young ladies in society. Elk
Guiding the Yale Glee club subscription ball.
formal dances have been marked by their alb
sence. Affairs in which the men have been
|. invited to participate have been compare
lively few and those for the older set almost
entirely wanting.
The social season OF 1894 has also been
remarkable for the large number OF Omaha
debutantes launched upon the social world.
They have held their own with any preced-
ing bevy Of buds In intelligence, appearance,
dress and general attractlveness. The few
visitors from out Of town have been unable
to s~upplant them as the center of attraction,
and against their older sisters they have had
everything their WI way, They have per-
haps been handicapped a triae in their
efforts to please by the fact that the society
man has been q species in the minority.

THE NEW ANT1-opTuoN BILL.

The bill approved by the agricultural COM
mittee of the house Of representatives and
reported to that body differs in essential
respects from the measure to suppress lille
climate dealing in options which failed in
the last congress. The new bill is designed
to bring revenue to the government. It's
author, Mr.. Hatch of Missouri, thinks that
it will m almost universal support,
reference being had. it is presumed, to the
agricultural interest of the country and
those who sympathize with the demand Of
that interest for legislation of this kind.
A statement regarding the character of
this measure says that it distinctly protects
the legitimate sales while taxing those
establishments in which illegitimate sales
are made. For instance, IL a sale is made,
and the article sold is not delivered within
a certain time, then the tax will be i'm
posed. 1t is stated that the treasury Of
icials agree that the proposed bill can be
the exchanges of the country are
now prepared to support the new
measure and that some of them have
gone so far as to suggest that they
are ready to pay a tax of say $40 per head
upon membership. This, 1t is argued,
would bring them into closer relations with
the government and tend to the protection
of their rights and privileges. The author
of the measure expresses confidence in it's
becoming a law.
Perhaps an accurate description of the bill
would be that II is one to tax bucket shops,
and so regarded 1t ought to have the sup
port of the reputable commercial exchanges
and boards of trade Of the country. But de-
sirable as the suppression Of the bucket shops
undoubtedly is the question suggests itself
whether taxing these establishments out of
existence, IL that be practicable, will cure
the evil Of illegitimate speculation in grain
and produce of which the producers of the
country complain and which they have APP
pealed to congress- to remedy? 1t is well
known that what Is regarded as il%legitimate
speculation by those who ask for the pro-
posed legislation is not confined to bucket
shops, nor does the worst of II, or that
which is assumed to do the greatest damage,
take place in or through these establish
ments. II is carried on in connection with
the leading commercial exchanges, where
men who can command millions combine TO
put values up or down. It does not appear
from the brief statement regarding the
character Of the new or revised anti-option

JUDICIAL sCoLD.

a Judge is expected to exercise his pre-
rogative of interpreting the law and dealing
out justice. but 1t is not the province OF n
judge to constitute himself a public scold upon
every occasion when he is to pass upon the
official action of an officer who may be Often
sive to him personally or politically. There
was no excuse whatever for Judge SCOTS
abusive TRADE against Mayor Bemis when he
was cited as a witness in u case some
months ago and there is no rational excuse
for Judge Scott's denunclad Of the mayor In
rendering his decision in the Kaiser license
case.
The licensing board is vested by law with
discretion to grant or refuse license unless
the applicant has violated the law during
the previous year or failed to comply with
any of the conditions precedent to the issu-
ance of a license. In the exercise of this
discretion the license board has as much
right to its opinion as to the merits of the
remonstrance as the judge has to his
opinion.
The supreme court has a right to override
the decision of Judge Scott, but what would
Judge Scott think If the supreme court, in
passing final judgment, should go out of
its way to inject into it's decision a TRADE
against him and denounce him for miscon-
STRUNG the law. Does not the course of
Judge Scott in this case invite reprisals on
the part of the mayor. who might, through
the city attorney in his appeal brief, roast
Judge Scott and denounce him as an AFRO
giant d%emagogue or anything else short of a
criminal charge.
To be sure the line of propriety as to what
a judge may say concerning coordinate
branches of government has not yet been
legally defined. but the ethics of the pro-
fession and the respect which courts of law
seek to maintain contemplate the repression
on the part of judges of displays of personal
spleen and Incorporate talk tending to pro-
woke the contempt of court and public dis
respect for courts and law.

bill that 1t contemplates any interference
with the colossal operations of the million
aire grain and produce gamblers, which are
mainly responsible for the evils OF specu-

a law which should fail to do this would fall
far short OF what the producers OF the coun-

STOP SPLITTING HAIRS.

A little more backbone is what is needed
in Iowa just now, especially at Des Moines.
1t has been agreed that the prohibitory stat
ute has not been the unqualified success its
advocates had claimed for it when it was
forced into law ten years ago. 1t is even
admitted by some of the prohibitionists that
the law will never be enforced in some local.
tiles in the state. From the people a cry
for relief has gone up. This cry has been
heard and last year the republican party
promised relief. Now what is needed is
statutory expression of that promise. This
must be given or the republicans of Iowa
must go back to the voters and admit that
the political green goods game has again
been enacted. 1t will not do to longer waste
time in hair-splitting over the meaning of
the somewhat ambiguous phraseology of
the now famous thirteenth plank" Either
that plank meant something or 1t meant
nothing. 1t was explained during the cam
paign to mean that towns and cities where
sentiment was in favor of legal control and
direction of business whose suppression was
proven impossible should be given that
privilege. Now that construction of the
plank is being buried beneath a heap Of
petty bubbles and charges and counter
charges between the two factions Of the
party. The weakness of the cause of the
radicals is admitted in their efforts to force
on the liberals a measure that stands as a
compromise with what the law now makes a
crime. This will never be endorsed by the
people. Honesty is just as essential to the
success of a political party as to an individ-
ual. All that remains is for the honest
republicans in Des Moines to come out
square-toed and say where they stand. Bush
whacking and skulking behind verbal fogs
raised for the purpose of obscuring the
question at issue will no longer answer. If
the republicans Of Iowa are to be known as
the sponsors of statutory prohibition let
them honestly admit the fact; but If they
intend to throw off the incubus and re-estab-
lish the party in the faith Of the people of
the state let them drop the discussion that is
leading them into a morass Of uncertainty
and plainly discard prohibition by framing
and voting for an honest high license local

General George B. Dandy, chief quarter
master of the Department Of the Platte,
closes his active career as an officer of the
United States army on this his 64th birth
day. Few army officers who have served
in this department have rendered more dis
tinguished services to their country and
made for themselves a more enviable repu-
tation or can point to a record of more
than forty years continuous army life. Serv-
ing in the ranks as a volunteer in the war
with Mexico when scarcely more than a
boy, General Dandy afterward entered West
Point, from which he graduated into the
regular army in 1857. Although Of southern
birth, he firmly and loyalty upheld the cause
of the union when compelled to choose be-
tween his native state and the nation. He
was In the field during the whole of the war
of the rebellion, receiving repeated promo
tions for gallant and meritorious services,
and at the close held the rank of brigadier
general. After the disbanding of the great
volunteer armies General Dandy was re-
stored to the regular army and assigned to
quprtermaster's department, in which he has
served for more than a quarter of a CEN
fury, for the most part as chief quarter
master in one OF the divisions or depart
ments of the army General Dandy secures
a well deserved place on the army retired
list. and carries with him the congratula-
tons of his fellow officers. whose esteem he
has won, and the hest wishes of the civilians
with whom he has come In contact. p%articu-
larly among the citizens of Omaha, who are
proud that he has in a measure identified
himself with their city.
