New York Sun: We must congratulate
our esteemed contemporary, the Chatta-
nooga Press, upon its brilliant pictorial
! achievement in printing cuts or Mr.. ia
cob Kilrain and Mr.. Johnell Sullivan. ana
! labelling them Jim Corbett' and Char
lie Mitchell respectively. Enterprise
that never throws up the sponge and art
that responds 10 every touch OF the art
lists creative hand. deserve medal and
mention in Tennessee or anywhere else.
| But we trust that the grim tale Of the
| transferred portraits will never come to
the ears Of Mr.. Johnell Sullivan Like
most actors. he is sensitive.
The SUMS esteemed contemporary
prize-fghting critic and editorial maker
up was evidently off duty on the occasion

New York World The Senate judiciary
Committee has postponed action on the
nomination Of Wheeler II. Peckham for
one week. This course was taken, it is
said It the request of Mr.. Peckham's
friends. They wished TO meet fully the
objections which have been brought
against him.
Mr.. Peckham's character as a man
and his standing as a lawyer are too
well known in this community. where he
has spent all his active life, TO admit OF
the suggestion that he needs any defence
upon these points. The real objection 10
him is thoroughly understood. 1t is based
upon his political independence. and re-
lates particularly TO his determined OPP
position TO the election Of Judge Maynard
last year.
New York Times: The House has
screwed the income tax TO the tariff bill.
but it has not riveted il on, and we do
not believe that that can be done. The
situation is awkward, not creditable TO
Democratic craftsmanship or Republican
good sense. 1t is indeed, a little ridicu-
lous considering the opportunity, the
duty and the interest Of the party I'm
power. But it is by no means hopeless.
Since opposition TO the income tax has
proved unayailing. it is now the duty Of
its opponents who are also friends Of
tariff reform to support the bill as it is
and send IT TO the Senate. What the
Senate will do with the amendment we
cannot say. but we are profoundly con-
WINGED that. with or without that amend
ment. tariff-reform bill will be passed
and go on the statute books. That is the
essential thing. II will mark the turning
Of the tide. IL will be not only a supreme
and final check 10 the flood of projections
ism that has been steadily rising for "A
back; that once done. all future changes
Will be in the same direction until the
trade and industry Of the country are
emancipated.
New York Herald: The Democratic
leaders have been amply warned that the
people will turn out any party which |
forces the income tax infamy upon them, |
ana will vote the Democratic party re-
creant to its trust if it fails to carry n |
moderate, judicious revision Of the tariff. |
Philadelphia Record: AS a rejected |
nominee for place on the bench of the |
United States Supreme Court Mr.. Horn |
blower is in very distinguished company. |
John J. Crittenden, Of Kentucky; Roger |
y. fancy. Of Maryland; John NJ. Read. |
George w. Woodward, and jeremiah S.
Black. Of Pennsylvania; Caleb Gushing
ana j.. lockwood Hoar, of Massachu-
sets, were all, at one time and another
turned down by squeamish senators. The
opposition Of the Senate is occasionally
decoration.
