PACKING THE SUPREME COURT.

During the late campaign there was
more or less discussion of the supreme
court, arising out of the declaration of
the Chicago platform concerning that
august body. In the course of this
discussion the legal tender cases
figured prominently, it having been
fully stated that the supreme court
had been packed for the purpose of
reversing the decision in the case of
Hepburn VS.. Griswold This has
brought out a long communication TO
the Boston Herald from Senator G. F.
Hoar, who seems to think that the
memory of his brother, the late Judge
E. r. Hoar, who was General Grants
attorney general at the time. is at
tackled. In his defense he produces two
letters. one from General ]. d. Cox.
eX-secretary of the interior. and ex
Secretary of the Treasury @. S. Bout
well. General Coxs letter is as fol-
lows:
Cincinnati, Nov 6, 1896.
My Dear Senator Hoar:-In reply TO
yours of 3rd instant, | would say that
nave always Regarded the charge the
supreme court was packed to reverse
he legal tender decision in Hepburn
vs. Griswold. as one of the most curl
Gus instances of declaring an unwar-
ranted conclusion from mere coinci-
dence. When | originally heard the
assertions made. l carefully reflected.

that sustained it. l could not Every
incident pertaining to the appointment
OF judges TO fill the vacancies was. so
tar as my recollection could reach. ex-
actiy what high minded men would
wish-exactly what all who knew

Of public duty.
i can recall SONS discussion of the
character and qualities of Judges
Strong and Bradley among members
ot the cabinet. but not a single word
nf reference TO their opinions on the
legal tender question, or to any case
pending, or likely to be pending, in the
supreme court. Nothing could be
palmer than that the attorney general
was earnestly determined to recon-
mend only such men as combine the
qualities Of able lawyers with those of
perfectly pure, simple minded, and up
right citizens. When the nominations
were made. we felt that just such men
had been selected.

THE DEATH of srACEo.

If the latest accounts of the death of
Antonio Maceo-that he was lured I'M
der a flag of truce into the Spanish
lines and virtually assassinated-be
true, the sympathy of the whole world
Will go out to the Cubans, while Spain
will be execrated by all mankind. The
account may not be true. much allow
ance has to be made for all accounts
from Cuba, but if it is it VIII be the
hardest thing in the world to restrain
the feeling of indignation in this
country within bounds; it will be a
difficult task to keep the people from
rising en- masse and declaring in favor
of the recognition of Cuban independ-
ence and the pledging of the aid of
the United States to the cause. 1t is
such an act of treachery that only a
savage could be guilty of. In war am
buscades are perfectly legitimate. but
they must not be accomplished
through. virtually. flag of truce.
There is every reason to believe that
Maceo was assassinated as stated by
the Cubans. Major Cirujeda has no
hesitation in telling how the bodies of
Maceo and Gomez were treated, His
troops discovered the bodies. that of
Maceo having been robbed of a ring
and clothing. He says that those who
robbed the body were quite unaware
of its identity. He states that it was
an adjutant who insisted that the two
bodies were of first-rate Importance,
and must not be left without identi-
fication. He finally realized this and
says:
The two bodies were. therefore. tied
by the feet to the tails of some
horses and thus dragged over the
ground, the intention being to carry
them to town for identification. But
after proceeding for awhile the horses
became tired with their burden and
the bodies were therefore cut loose and
left in the road
Major Cirujeda having acknowledged
this barbarity, should have no hesita-
ton in acknowledging the whole plan
of treachery and assassination This
deed viii arouse the whole world.

which made the descent easy. An ad-

and the conference never reconvened-
This really looks as though something
had been attempted fcr silver by
means of an international monetary
conference
If these conferences in the past have
been under the direct control of the
European creditor class, is there any
reason in the world TO believe that they
will not be under the control of the
same class in the future? We are told
that the way to reach this business
now is to assume a controlling position
and a mi-dictatoral position, and
the special reason why such a plan
would have almost certain results is
the fact that the business of this world
is under such a depression that money
loaners are frightened Assuming a
controlling position is not particu-
larly easy task while to maintain it
is a very difficult one. Surprising that
the leading nations should decline to
send delegates to another International
monetary conference, anything but j
violent supposition, what then? Then,
again. the ST. Louis platform declares
that the Republican party is unalter-
ably opposed to the free coinage of
silver except by international agree
ment with the leading commercial ma
tions of the world, which we pledge
ourselves to promote, and until such
agreement can be obtained the exist
There is great promise in that declara-
ton that this country will assume a
controlling position and semi-dictator-
ial position" isn't there?
We sincerely hope that something
may come from this new attempt at
an international monetary conference.
but we cannot believe that it will
amount to anything; while we believe
today as we always have that to
bring about a restoration of the free
coinage of silver is for this country to
adopt policy of free and independent
coinage.
