HoRNBLowER's REPORT.

The Senate Judiciary Committee unex-
pectedly decided yesterday To make n
majority report recommending that WIN.
lam r. Hornblower's nomination for
Associate Judge of the Supreme Court
he not confirmed. The action Of the
Committee is to he reported nv Senator
Hill at the next executive session.
President Cleveland will no doubt feel
a great deal Of annoyance at MIR. Horn
blowers rejection. hut 1t Is not likely
that he will make a fight for conhrma-
tion In executive session. However
strong the conviction may he that the
rejection is to spite Mr.. cleveland rather
than to protect the Supreme Court. there
In scarcely ground enough for a battle
on behalf Of the nomination.
Besides, the President has expressed a
desire for positive action on the appoint
ment in order that he might send In
another name II Mr.. Hornhlower should
not he acceptable. He has declared that
the business of the Supreme Court suf-
fers from n continuance Of tho vacancy.
He should insure Its immediate nlling by
nominating a man whose confirmation
cannot he delayed even by those who
may he glad enough to annoy and en-
barrass him.. II il to he regretted that
his FIRST appointment to such IN impor-
tant position was not Of hat character.

DUTY AT LAST.

1t seems inRular that a Democratic
House OF Representatives., with more
than n two-thirds majority. should he
throwing up its cap and rejoicing over
the fact that after a weeks trial It has
been enable to muster a quorum and to
break n deadlock on n question forming
one of the most important planks in the
Democratic platform OF principles on
which the party claimed and won the
votes OF the people.
Yesterday a sufficient number of the
two hundred and thirteen straight Demo
Gratis elected to the present House were
In their seats ready to act with their
own party to muster one hundred and
seventy-six votes, so that the special
order fixing the limit OF time on the
debate on the Wilson bill and providing
for the vote on Ian. 90 was at last
adopted.
And this result was secured on Jack
sons anniversary, n day which makes
men feel more Democratic In memory
or the example OF the greatest Democrat
of the Republics history.
Was this an honor to Andrew Jack
son, the man OF pure Democratic mind
and iron will7 Or ought Jacksonian
Democracy to have been Inundated by
the fact that It was regarded as matter
OF rejoicing because after n weeks de-
lay Democratic Congressman holding
an important trust had at last rec gn zed
their duty to their party and to the
nation?
At all events the vote has been taken,
and now there ought t. hc no further
delay and Boutcilc ouas' g, be kept
bottled up.

Queen Lii, OF the Sandwich Islands
dynasty, is still III her throne. and has

These things go to show that the per-
