THE VACANCY ON THE SUPREME
COURT BANCH.

The revival of the rumor that the
President will appoint either Secre-
tary Carlisle or Secretary HoSe Smith
to the vacancy on the u. S. Supreme
Court bench recalls the Presidents
high estimate of Southern statesman
ship. We have thought all along that
the President would name New
Yorker for the vacancy because
Louisiana man, Justice White, was APP
pointed to the position that naturally
belonged to New York but the Pres
ident has "a mysterious way his won
ders to perform" and no one can
safely predict where the lightning will
strike
When Mr.. Fuller was made Chief
Justice il in we'll known that Mr..
Cleveland first determined to appoint
Mr.. Carlisle, who was his choice OF all
the great men in the party, but yield
ed to what he regarded as good rea-
sons why he should change his mind.
Mr.. Carlisle is easily the ablest of liv-
ing American statesmen, sharing with
Senator Morgan the honor of all-round
greatness. His mind is more analyti-
cal, his statements more lucid, and
his temperament more judicial than
the Alabama Senator's. who spossibly
more learned. If Mr. Carlisle shall be
elevated, he viii rank at once with the
greatest men on the bench.
Mr.. Hske Smith is a very young man,
being less than forty, but he is easily
the biggest man, in brain, endurance
and lofty ideas, of the younger states
men of the country. Mr.. Cleveland
holds him in the highest esteem for
his learning, his wisdom, and his clean
methods. 1t is believed that the Pres
ident would prefer to appoint young
man who could reasonably look for
ward to long career on the bench,
and if Mr.. Hole Smith lived in New
York he would doubtless be appoint
ed. If he should be appointed, and
should remain on the bench for
lifetime he would develop into one of
the greatest jurists that ever adorned
the bench, and would go down in his
tory with Marshall, fancy and the
other greatest legal lights that have
reflected glory upon our Federal judi
ciary He is man made of the strong
est and loftiest mould, big in brain and
big in body, and greater in his keen
sense and love of justice than in any
other characteristic.

Every patriot in the country will re-
ioice with ex-senator Allen G. Thur
man upon the improvement of his con-
dition which enabled him to acknowl
edge honors shown him on his send
birthday which was celebrated on
Wednesday. There is no man living
to whom the American people owe
more. AS Senator he stood as the
chief barrier against the wicked re-
constructionists, the gobblers up of
the racific railroad, and other enemies
of equal government. He gained the
title "Old Roman" before he became
an old man because he possessed
those Roman virtues that are the at
tributes of the high-minded, patriotic
public servant.

ALL the great morning newspapers in
Chicago have reduced the price of their

large and as handsomely illustrated as
the New York papers. For long time
the Record has been one cent and had

other papers at two and three cents were
being left, and they had to tumble to the
low price If the competition continues,
the time will come when the great news

thrown in. The advertising patronage
of these papers is something enormous

WHY DID HE MARRY SO SOON I

What right has the church over the
marital relations of preacher? is
question that is troubling the Virgin
ia Methodist Conference. From the
debate, which we publish below, it APP
pears that young Methodist preacher
has shocked some of the older breth-
rem by getting married within two
months after having joined the Con-
ference.
The debate was as follows:
When the name of Rev. Thomas f..
johnson, of Rappahannock, was
reached, quite warm and unusual
discussion arose. Mr.. johnson re-
ceiyed his itinerant orders just year
ago, and in two or three months was
married. DR.. Whitehead brought the
matter to the attention of the confer
ence, saying that it was a serious mat
ter for poung man to enter the min
istry in that way, and Immediately
afterward take upon himself an addi-
tional burden and expense. The Doe
tor thought Mr.. johnson should be
called upon by the conference to cx-
plain why he married SO soon after en-
tering the ministerial work. DIR.
Whitehead said he had heard of a
mans taking wife unto himself
within year under such circnm-
stances, but that this case was very
unusual Nothing of the kind had oc-
Cured before in the history of the
Virginia Conference.
President Elder Watts, Of Mr..
Johnson's district, defended theyoung
preacher, saying that he should not
be held accountable to the conference
for his marriage.
DIR. Peterson said his Brother
Whitehead had served in that confer
ence long time, ana had had much
experience in such matters. Many
other such instances, said DIR. Peter
son, had arisen, and he thought it was
strange that DIR. Whitehead had not
previously taken the stand he had.
II deny that" said DIR. Whitehead,
somewhat warmly, adding that man
never came into the conference as
single man and married within two
or three months. He thought Mr..
johnson should at least make an ex-
planation of his conduct.
DR.. Peterson replied by saying that
the conference was wasting time In
talking about case when all the talk
ing in creation couldn't change the
facts or make the man anything other
than married man.
Rev. DIR. Clarke referred to Shakes
peare's maxim Love is piece of in
sanity" and animated that when one
of Cupid's darts pierced young man,
he would not stand upon whether or
not he was minister of the Gospel or
an ordinary citizen.
Rev. DR.. Tillett said he thought DR..
Whitehead had entirely missed the
point in Jns case. 1t was, he went on,
whether or not Mr.. Johnson's duties
as itinerant worker of the confer
ence had been interfered with. AS the
young preacher in question was not
present, his Presiding Elder spoke for
him, saying that Mr.. johnson haddone
faithful and efficient work, and had
himself borne the additional expense
necessary on account of his marriage.
The Presiding Elder thought that the
young man would be able to render
just as good service to the church in
future, and Mr. Johnson was contin-
ued as a candidate for deaconate or
ders, being advanced to the class of
the second year.

William g. Curtis relates the follow
ing anecdotes of Eugene Field: "Mr
IL. III. Kohlsaat, like Mr.. Stone, was
:. frequent victim. One time Mr.. Field
purposely or accidently, obtained a
list of guests whom the Kohlsaats
had invited to a dinner and wrote
each q note asking that they be SO
4<ind as not to appear in evening dress
The dinner, the note read, would be
-a-ntireay informal, and it was hoped
that the gentlemen would come in
Their business suits and the ladies
would wear their bonnets. The party
assembled in the toilets suggested,
much TO the amazement of their host
and hostess, whs had prepared a very
handsome dinner; nor did any one of
fer an explanation until several days
after, when they heard that their pc
cuiiar behavior had been remarked
upon.
The first practical joke that is re-
corded of him occurred in st. Joseph,
Mo, where during his early newspaper
days, he was city editor of the Gazette.
The proprietor of the establishment
promised frequently to raise the sala-
ry of his employees, and quite as fire.
quentiy neglected to do so. One day
~vhen he was expected home from a
visit to st. Louis Mr.. Field hired a
brass band, and collecting all his asso-
ciates, went to the station. When the
train arrived the proprietor of The St.
Joseph Gazette was astounded to find
himself received by brass band and
1hG entire editorial and reportorial
stan of his paper, each one carrying
large cotton banner, on which was
painted the legend: "How about that
3saise!" The joke had it's effect, and
next morning the salary list was in
creased 20 per cent"
I'd 20 per cent"

Ex-senator Edmuds takes the same
view of the question of territorial
expansion expressed by Senator Sher-
man in his just published book. He
is represented as saying in the course
of an interview at Philadelphia:
He opposed the annexation of Cuba,
and said he was strongly opposed to
The annexation of Hawaii, Canada or
any other neighboring countries. This
ile said, was not desirable under our
form of government, because, once an
nexed, it would only be a short time
alntn the new territories would become
States, and if such policy was carried
out the country would soon be govern
ed by thesenators and congressman liv-
ing far beyond the present borders of
he United States.

Senator Tillman, of South Carolina
~ making some strong speeches in
the Constitutional convention. 1t
seems strange to find him standing
Tor conservatism, and trying TO in
s1uce the convention to make an en-
during constitution,not one for the
political emergencies of to-day. The
fact is, if Tillman had been caught
young and properly tanned and train
sd he might have been great man.
The country is informed by the New
York Tribune that monetary agita-
zion in every form is superlatiyely UNI
desirable" and that renewed agita-
sion on that subject can only increase
uncertainty and apprehension" Is this
outbreak to be taken as notice TO the
country that the Republican majority
in Congress proposes 10 dodge the
currency question in order not to
make record on which to go to the
people next year? asks the Springfield
Republican.
