SUPREME COURT RTuOPS.

Since Justice Jackson's death three men have
been conspicuousy named in published dis
patches purporting 20 be based on positive knowl-
edge as the Presidents choice for the vacant
place on the Supreme Court bench. 1t was first
announced with considerable elaboration that
Mr.. Frederic X. Coudert, our fellowcitZen, a
lawyer Of repute who is generally in sympathy
with the Presidents public policies, had not only
been selected to Ill the vacancy but authori-
tatively Informed Of the distinction awaiting his
acceptance The only doubt in the case was as
to his consenting to relinquish his lucrative prac-
tice at the bar. The question Of Mr.. Coudert's
willingness TO make a pecunlary sacrifice was
discussed with animation for several days, and
then dropped in consequence Of Mr. Couderts
announcement that the place had not been
offered to him and he knew nothing about the
Presidents Intentions respecting IT, Not long
afterward Mr.. Bissel Of Buffalo, lately Post
master General Of the United States, and an In
innate friend Of Mr.. Cleveland from away back,
was proclaimed to be the Presidents candidate
for the Supreme Court. apparently on the strength
Of brief visit to Buzzard's Bay, though their
long intimacy gave some substance to the rumor
But Mr.. Bissell promptly initiated Mr.. Coudert's
prudence, declaring that there was no truth In
the report so far az he knew and adding, we
believe. that be much preferred Buffalo to Wash

SPEED AND ITS RrSUITS

The present age Is chiefly characterized by
speed. In that respect It incomparably surpasses
all that have gone before. 1t requires no elo-
ages have excelled this in some particulars. The
relics Of the past, which are today our models,
our admiration and our despair, are ample proof
Of It On the whole, the world may he improy-
Ing Its progress, however is not wholly gain.
In wellngh every change there IS some loss as
well as profit though the balance may be TO the
good But whatever we have lost, we have I'M
questIonably gained all around In speed. In
every respect this is rapid age. Educational
and intellectual processes are spurred TO pace
of which the scholars Of old never dreamed. In
business men are In haste TO get rich az never
before. In travel that steamer is the fayorite
which has made the fastest run across the At
lantic, and that railroad which runs the fastest
trains. All transit must now be rapid transit.

fathers. are now too slow. lightning itself must

Undoubtedly speed Is a good thing in it's way
But In II wise to make II the chief thing that we
desire? Is 1t to be the end Of our efforts, or only
a means 10 something vastly better? 1t is well
to get fortune quickly. provided II be done hon

exception. The "old ticket" was renominated
and Judge Celora f. Martin, OF Binghamton
was nominated for Judge Of the Court or APP

made a powerful speech which carried the con-
yention with irresistible force. The result was
the adoption by Il spontaneous and unanimous
vote of an additional plank containing declara-
ton in favor Of "the maintenance OF the Sunday

convention got away from the Boss entirely Tor
a few minutes and thus effectively rebuked his
policy of silence and cowardice on leading
