JUSTICE WHITE.

Justice White is worthy of his new
honors, and a disgraceful sqUabble over
IN important office is now happily
ended.-Chicago Record.
1t is doubtful if the president could
have chosen a better man from the
somewhat limited body of lawyers of
high rank in the senate who hold to the
Democratic faith.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
Against the nominee nothing can be
said. He is young, vigorous, a Demo-
crat OF unquestioHed S%oundness, a
lawyer of the most solid attachments.
He will reflect honor upon the tribunal
in which he takes his seat.-Chicago
Herald.
Whatever his qualifications NAV be,
or however his nomination may be
regarded. the country will breathe
more freely nov that the disgraced
squabbie between Hill and Cleveland is
a all end. so far as the supreme court
appointment Is concerned. - Chicago
Tribune.
The prompt action of the senate In
confirming him indicates that he has
made a favorable impression on his
colleagues In that body, and also shows
that the senate is ready to confirm the
nominations of the president when
they are not obnoxious TO legitimate

TARIFF TALK.
Senate Subcommittee Still Work.
Ing on the Bill.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-'rhe senate
committee OH finance was the scene of
W changes today. 1t was announced
authoritatively at noon that Senator
Mills would retire from the committee
anu that Mr. Mcpherson would resume
his seat and MIR. Mills confirmed the
report. When tue senate adjourned this
evening Mr.. Mills stated that there
has been a reconsideration. that Mr..
MCPHERSON did not believe himself in a
state of health To warrant his under
taking the work of a full member of the
coIdmittee. and had asked MIR. Mills to
continue as a member in his stead,
which lie would do. The second change
mas set at rest a number of rumors
which were afloat as to the cause of the
hrst change. One of those was to the
effect that it was brought about by the
dissatisfaction Of Eastern Democratic
senators with the work of the SubcoIu-
nittee. The dissatisfaction certainly
exists to a degree, but it is understood
that 1t is directed at the bill generally,
anu that some of the diSagreements
have been harmoniZed.
Sugar remains tile principal disturb
iHS CiCuiSHb, anu d in6InD0F OF the
fnancec committee said today that but
for the difficulty Of reaching an
agreement upon this article the
Democratic members of the committee
would be prepared to make their
report tomorrow. There are other
differences which have not been
arranged. but they bear en- articles OF
comparatively little Importance. and
could be agreed upon in very little
time. Secretary Carlisle was at the
capitol for a short time this afternoon,
and there is ground for presumiBg
that his mission was In the interest of
harmony and the presentation of a solid
front from the time IN bill shall be re-
ported. A Republican member of the
finance COMMITTEES says today that he
felt confident that the Democratic menl-
bers would agree upon the sugar sched-
ule before presenting their report, and
he expressed the %opionion that when
the bill should be reported TO the COM
mittee it would provide for either a cent
a pound or an adyalorsm duty Of 30
per cent.

SESSIONS.

The members of the senate are indig-
nant that the secrets of their executive
sessions frequently leak out and become
known to the general public, and pro-
pose to make a terrible example of the
person or persons guilty of "peaching.n
What right has the senate to have any
secrets from the public ? Are they not
the servants of the people, sent to
Washington to do the peoples business
and have not the people a right to know
how they do it? The executive sessions
of the senate are wholly un-American,
and are frequently used as a cloak with
which the senators may cover up their
c~owardice, malignity or treason to their
constituents. There should be no ex-
ecutive session secrets. They should

fecting a change in the New York state
law.
A discussion was held as to the pro-
priety of granting commission direct to

of the rates of machine composition, and
it was the unanimous verdict of the as
ISOLATION that a time rate was fairer TO
both the office ana the operator. and was
productive of the best results.

CONFIDENT OF ACQUITTAL.
The subject of his lecture at the gram.
mar school is ''Great Northland." 1t is
II of a series he has been giving in
various grammar schools of this city.
Investigation in financial circles in
this city tonight by a representative OF
the Associated Press led to the discov-
cry OF what may be a clue to the pres
ent prosecution of Mr.. Wiman. One Of
the questions sought to be solved to-
night was why a whole year should
have been allowed to elapse. 1t was
In February, 1898, that Wiman sew
cred his connection with K. G. Dun
" Co., before the crime alleged
against him = if it is a crime -
was prosecuted. This inquiry created
a good deal of interest. One explanation
advanced for the arrest is as follows:
About a month ago a mysterious circular
was printed by some person unknown
and induStriously circulated among
prominent merchants of this city. In
fact, every n who was likely to make
use of mercantile agencies received one
of these circulars. In brief, the circular
revealed many hitherto very dimly
understood facts in regard to mercantile
agencies and their methods of doing
business. 1t was a revelation not of the
most pleasing character to agencies, and
created a good deal of talk and bitter
feeling.
MIR. Wiman was promptly held re-
sponsible for its authorship.
1t was argued that few men were so
thoroughly acquainted with the details
OF the mercantile agency business and
none knew of the facts made public in
the circular so well as Mr.. Wiman.
! Now, as a matter of fact. Mr.. Wiman,
MS friends say, not only did not write
the circular, but was unaware of the
TACT that it was published. Although
totally innocent of the authorship credit
OF IL has eve since been laid upon his
shoulders. and it is supposed that +. G.
! Dun q Go. had ever since felt embit-
tered toward him on this account.

~MURDEROUs COLLEGIANs.

The frequency Of riots at the several
colleges caused by the practice of 'haz-
Ing" has long been a disgrace to our in
situations of learning. A term cannot
be permitted to pass without encounters
that often result in bodily injury to
many of the students and sometimes in
death. Cane-ruSheS are another evil
that occasionally set the students to
fighting, and broken heads and limbs
are by no means uncommon.
The incident at Cornell the other day
was OF such a serious nature as to call
Tor the most energetic measures of re-
preston on the part of the college Off.
Gals. Ii they refuse or neglect to per-
form their obvious duty it should be the
business OF the criminal officers of Ithaca
to ferret OF those guilty and bring
them to the gallows. During an enter
tainment given by the freshmen a large
quantity OF noXious gas was forced into
the hall, and a score of the participants
in the festivities were Frustrated, and
one of the cooks died from the effects of
breathing the gas. Several of the fresh
men are not expected to survive, and if
the perpetrators of the trick are discov-
cred it is probable that some of them
will be lynched.
This is what the college men call
sport. Other people call it dastardly
ruffianism. 1t is even more despicable
and cowardly than the hazing and cane
rushing proceedings, and these not only
merit expulsion from the college, but
imprisonment in the county Jail or the
penitentiary. The young men who par
ticipate in these deeds Of violence as
sumo to be gentlemen, yet they are as
far from that estate as it is possible for
a human being to fall. The ~veriest
v~agabond on the street is more of a
gentleman than any college man can be
who participates in such Infamous and
dastardly practices.
Its urged in ~eXtenuation of such do
ings that they have been customary in
colleges from times immemorIal. But
that is no excuse for crime. Murder is
even more ancient than hazing, but
does any n seek to excuse 1t?
Things have come to such a pass that
parents look upon their sons entry into
college much as they would his en-
gaging in a battle. 1t will be his good
fortune if he escapes death or injury.
He stands little chance against the
horde of thugs who beset him. If he
resists he is pounded into submission:
if he undertakes TO fly heis pursued and
beaten the harder as a coward.
We are glad to observe that the Uni
versity of Chicago has begun its career
by imposing the most severe penalties
upon those who participate in hazings or
cane-rushes. 1t is to be hoped that the
position thus assumed will be maintained
throughout its career: and that if other
colleges refuse to follow its example
they may be made to suffer by a with
drawal of the public support. If this
incident at Cornell is not improved, and
he guilty parties made to suffer for
their crime, that institution should
have its charter revoked and its prop
erty confscated, for such infamies can
not be tolerated in a civilized country,

be held in full view and hearing of the
public. and every word spoken in them
should be spread upon the records.
1t is hoped that the proposed inquiry
will be made, and that the guilty per-
sons may be discovered. TO the end that
the public may reward them. For any
one who contributes in any way towards
destroy ing the ~star-chamber character
of the executive sessions of the senate
is deserving of a reward. In a govern
ment of the people. for the people. and
by the people. no servant of the people
has a right to preserve a secret from his
masters. Such secrets are reasonable
to u form Of government.
The executive sessions OF the senate
must be abolished. There must be no
secrets in congress held sacred from the
public.

THE A. p. A. SUED
For Arms With which to Fight
E the Catholics.

TOLEDO, Feb. 21.-The case of A. j.
Rummel against George w. Ostrander,
as treasurer of Council No. 2, Ameri-
can Protective association, was
heard before Justice Seagrave this
afternoon. The testimony developed
the fact that the members of No. 2 re-
ceived what they considered a reliable
warning that the Catholics were pre-
pairing for an uprising on last
labor day. No time was lost, and
to the enc that A. p. A. lives would
not be sacrificed without resistance, a
committee was appointed to purchase
arms. Sample guns were ordered from
Rummel. Four of these were returned
and fifty-five repeating Winchesters
were purchased. A dispute arose over
the number of arms furnished and the
a. Z. A. refused to pay for more
than fifty. Failing to effect a settle
ment suit was instituted, aud at the
trial members OF the A. p. A. testified
that they had bought guns Of the
council at a time which proved that the
disputed order had been filled by Rum
mel, The Jury accordingly rendered a
verdict of SlS2 III lis IayoT.

GLADSTONE AND THE LORDS.

Any expectation that Mr.. Gladstone
Intends 10 undertake the overthrow of
the house Of lords was dissipated by his
speech in the commons Tuesday. The
galleries were crowded with spectators,
all anxious to hear what he had to say
regarding the action of the peers in
defeating the home rule, the parish
councils and the parish election bills,
but the expected words were not per-
mitted to pass his lips, and the cOnvtc-
tion has become settled that the aged
premier will leave TO others the initia-
ton of a task that he knows he could
not live TO see accomplished.
1t would be no easy task to deprive
the lords Of their legislative powers.
n it Is not certain that a majority OF
the British people desire to see them so
bereft. There are tens of thousands of
people in the United Kingdom who are
ready in their denuneiations of the
hereditary house who would fly to the
rescue he moment it was seriously as
sailed. For however much they may
suffer from the eXactiOns of the upper
house of parliament, the majority of the
British people dearly love a lord"
They reserve the right of denouncing
BIN to themselves, but will not permit
II one else to modest him.
The abolition of the house of lords is
certain to come in time, but the country
Is not yet ready for the change. An
amendment 70 the constitution will be
necessary, and this requires the consent
of tWn-thirdc nf tho n,nn,barc Of ynrIio
ment. An amendment of such a char
acter as the IL in question could not,
IN the nature of things, procure this
approval, for it is not at all probable
that the lords would vote in favor of
their own de:hronement. and that is the
only constitutional method by which
they can be deprived of their authority.
Revolution will ultimately have to be
the resort, but the country is not yet
ripe for it. The lords WELD too great a
power. They control the clergy to a
large extent; they control their tenants,
uoth III farming communities and in
cities; they control the finances of the
country. When the contest comes, as it
must come soon, the people will require
the leadership of a much younger man
than Gladstone, and one possessed of all
his talent and responsiveness. He must
be enlisted for the war, and the conflict
promises to be a long and arduous one,
for every inch of ground will be dis
puted with the desperation born of the
instinct of self-preservation.
MI. Gladstone has made a good Begin
ming in the work of emancipating the
people of Great Britain from the domin-
ion of the lords. He has placed them IN an
extremely eqniyocal posiGion-a position
IN which they nave given offense and
been made to appear as the enemies of
progress and human liberty. They can.
not escape the responsibility that has
been forced upon them. The successor
of the grand old man will simply have
to follow his policy as Indicated. But
the active campaign can hardly begin
during Mr.. Gladstone's lifetime. The
country is not yet prepared for it.
