1t Is a Go.

The newspapers say that Judge
Peckham. who has been nominated for
the supreme-court bench, will be con-
firmed: they all take. occasion to re-
mark that Senator Hill will not op-
pose him. The inference is that the
senator's consent is needed; In truth,
last years experience proves that to
be true. And 1t is a singular arrange
ment that makes the presidents choice
for a national office dependent on the
within of a senator for any state-that
results from that most absurd of all
traditions known to the country as
senatorial courtesy.
Manifestly. Senator Hill has been
studying the signs of the times or,
perhaps. he has learned the lesson
which two years of pretty rough ex-
perience have taught. On the merits
of the case. there is no reason why,
having opposed Wheeler Peckham last
year. Mr.. Hill should support Rufus w.
Peckham this year. OF the two, the
latter has been more in New York poll
tics. IL account be taken OF a dozen
years last past. Rufus w. Peckham
was strongly inclined to try politics; he
was. while he cared to be, the ruling
spirit in Albany county democratic do
ings: IL was known that a few years
ago. the office of governor would have
suited his ambition. 1t is true that he put
politics aside when he became a men,
Der OF the court OF appeals. but he has
always been known as personal
friend of the president-he never was
rated as a Hill man.
At any rate. Judge Peckham Is nomi-
mated and there is no doubt whatever
as to his cordial confirmation.

sage had been received, startled him
by asking anxiously IL he was sure he
had not left a part of the document in

the secretary asked IL anything was
missing, the senator said I cannot find
anything about the Nicaragua canal.

AS every man who has read the mes
sage is aware. ct started out TO deal
with two topics-foreign relations and
the currency. With little in the way
OF recommendation. the message sets
forth the relations existing between
this country and several foreign pow
ers. AS to the currency. we naturally
find applause of the presidents goldbug
talk in the goldbug press. But the
president comes forward with what he
recommends as a measure for relief.
We find very little editorial comment
or talk with prominent people which
gives approval TO the plan. They have
been telling US for some years that sill
yer can be crushed and the country's
general business conditions be prosper
Gus. No goldbug among them all has
yet shown how to do 1t.

If We Propose to Fight.

Our opinion is that this country
doesn't want to get into trouble with
any government ON earth. But If we
pare for 1t. Figures On Secretary La
monts report, which have been widely
quoted, show what a ridiculous plight
we shall be in, on the score of coast
defenses, IL we get into trouble. Eng
hsh gunboats could run into New York
opposite Twenty-third street If they
wanted to-New York couldn't stop
them.
Nine years ago, Secretary Endicott
evolved a scheme for coast defense so
as to cover twenty-seven important
ports. The expense was estimated at a
hundred million dollars. For this work
congress has appropriated since 1886
about ten millions. At that pace, Sec
rotary Lamont estimates that, If future
appropriations for the manufacture of
gums. mortars and carriages are within
the average authorized annually dur
ing the past six years. 1t will require
twenty-five years to furnish reasona BILE
protection for eighteen principal ports.
We ought to talk less about foreign
complications or fortify more. And II
1t is the purpose of the people of the
United States Ito get into a row with
any nation, the first proposition is to
put into Notifications more millions
than an expensive war would cost.

A Week Afterward.

The eastern newspapers do not come
west freighted with praise OF the presi-
dents message. OF course. some of the
editors have kind words for it-they
speak Of its patriotic spirit" and its
manly declarations for upholding the
integrity of the nations finances" AS
a rule. however. the message does not
get hearty commentator, except that
the paragraph on Venezuela finds gen.
eral favor.
The presidents plan for retiring the
greenbacks seems TO get approval no
where. People of a popuhst turn of
mind denounce the scheme for extend
ing the life or charging the facilities of
the national banks. On the other
hand. many bankers in New York
cFy-some of them of national reputa-
tion-are emphatic in their disapproval
of the presidents plan. Indeed, in a
thorough reading OF the eastern news
papers thus far received. we find al
most general disapproval OF the plan
which the president pressed as the way
OF escape from existing financial evils.

has described the symptoms well
enough but that he suggests nothing
that merits recognition as a remedy.
Some Of the newspapers attack the
attitude of the message toward Cuba
Others of them assert that the message
is not frank in dealing with the con-
dition of the treasury in what relates
TO revenue. In interviews. some OF the
congressman, democrats with the rest,
insist that the message conveys a
wrong impression in the paragraph de-
claring that none OF the millions real
lied from the sale of bonds went to
ward the treasury's current expenses.
In instances fault Is found with the
message because of its omissions. or

the message was long enough. But one

congress the need of prompt dealing

How Quay Won.

How Quay won his fight for the lead
ership OF the republican party in Penn
sylvania is a subject upon which no
such light has been thorwn as that
cast by the New York Tribune In a
letter printed last week under Harris
burg date. II the story had appeared
in a democratic paper many would set
1t down as a democratic Ne. burt Us
publication by one OF the leading re-
publican papers OF the country frees n
from the charge of partisan malice.
According 10 this remarkable dis
closure. when Mr. Quay began his fight
in Pennsylvania the odds were one
hundred TO one against him. and this
ratio remained up to a few days before
the decisive battle. "Then began a
series OF mysterious developments. :"
says the Tribunes informant. Dele
gates who were elected by solid anti
Quay constituencies began TO WAIVER,
and counties in which there ought to
have been no question as to the char

concerned. This sort OF thing kept on
until forty-eight hours before the fight
was begun. bue even then the Hastings
forces were entirely confident OF VIC

through any popularity OF Mr.. Quay.

Things to Come.

During this week we shall have. in
congress, some foreign-relations talk.
a good deal of senatorial caucusing. a
next to no business of practical account.
Congress does not often get to serious
work before the holidays.
Meanwhile. near the other end of

an important day. Tomorrow. at the
Arlington, the republican national COM
mittee win meet. The business of the

city in which dt Is to be held. The
candidates are Pittsburg, st. Louis, San
Francisco and Chicago. with a gentle
pressure from some New Workers for
Saratoga Senator Quay Is urging
Pittsburg. and some of the Washing
ton correspondents suspect that he will
win.
The only interesting item preliminary
10 the meeting of the committee is the
fact of the presence in Washington of
a strong delegation of Ohio profess
sionals who are beating the tom-toms
for Mckinley. They avow the object of
their visit, they say that they have no
choice as TO the city where the CON-
vention Shall be held, but they want
the world, and especially the republi-
can national committee, TO know that
all Ohio wants Mckinley and must
have him.
Probably Speaker Reed will make UP
mis- committees unawed by the demon
stratton of the Ohio campadgners. Ohio
Is always dn the field with candidates;
sometimes the state has had two of
them before a national convention
that happened in 1888 when Mckinley
wouldn't get out of Shermans way.
With 416 votes necessary for a choice
that year. Mckinley kept in till the
finish. rising on one ballot to a grand
total of fourteen votes.
During its career. the republican
party has had seven men in the office
of president. Two of these succeeded
as the result of the death of a presi-
dent. OF the five who were elected.
Ohio has furnished two. II really does
not look as If 1896 is to be an Ohio year.

won the day." is the way the Tribune
blun'tly puts IT. The trusts in Pennsyi-
vania and New York raised the enor-
nous sum of 100000 for Mr.. Quay's
use. One of the first contributions was
$4,000, and money poured In freely
from adj sides. The trusts wanted a
man In control of Pennsylvania politics
whom they could always rely on, and
they were willing to put up literally Ito
secure that end.
In connection with this extraordinary
story IT is asserted as a positive fact
that Mr.. Quay Is secretly after the re-
publican nomination for preside MT.
