The New York Tribune IS disposed to
make fun over the invitation TO Judge
Alvey, chief Justice OF the court OF APP
peals of the District OF Columbia. to be-
come a member OF the Venezuelan COM
mission. Il says:
II will no doubt surprise the effcte mon
arches OF the Old World TO learn that
Alvey has been called in 10 settle this
Venezuelan matter II In surprise; III
fact, evcrywhsre-nowhere more so than
In HHgerstoWfi, where, Il is confidently
asserted, the Judge Ia well known.
From which 1t appears that the edi-
torlal side OF the Tribune is not ac-
quaInted with Judge Alvey. The
Washington correspondent OF the Trib-
une is, as witness this from his very In
teresting dispatch on the subject:
Upon the death OF Chief Justice Waite.
during Mr.. Clevelnnd's first term, some OF
the Justices OF the supreme court who had
been impressed with the opinions dellv-
cred by Judge. Alvey on tho appellate
bench OF Maryland urged tho President
10 appoint him chief Justice OF the United
States This the President was disposed
TO do, but II Is understood was deferred
by the fact, 80 II has been said that Judge
feared that for that position 70 20 TO the
south might create animoSltiCs. II Is
known that Mr.. Cleveland has high per-
sonal regard for Judge Alvey and high
opinion OF his abilities.
For the place OF commissioner In the
Venezuela boundary business Judge Alvey
Is commended by his long experience In
weighing and determining the value OF
evidence. his wide reading and his accu-
rate knowledge OF history. He Is man
OF exalted character, calm and judicial
temperament, and In his decisions he Is
entirely uninhuenced by prejudice or pas
sion. He would no doubt decide the case
impartlRlly upon the evidence before him.
The selection OF such a man for such
a work cannot be so great surprise as
to be really startling. can It? A man OF
whom all this can be said, who was
thought by Justices OF the supreme
court OF the United States to be worthy
to be made chief justice OF that high
court, Is probably big enough for the
Venezuelan Job.
II the effete monarchies share the
Tribune's editorial surprise. somebody
may think TO fasten their attention on
the TrIbune's better Informed and high
ly apprecIatIve special Washington ad-
vices OF the same date. This, let us
hope, will make It all right with the
effete. whose good opinion We must not
cease 10 cultivate by all honorable
means.
