Although the present is az era of sur.
sions. a GOOD many people will he amaze
at the rervc shown by several Federal
Judges, and other judicial lights OH the Pa
cific Coast, in yenturing formally to protest
against the appointment of Attorney Gen
eral McKenna to the American Supreme
bench. 1t is what We would call ''criiel
and unusual" and one would suppose that
the action would net be taken, unless the
prot estants considered themselves pretty
well entrenched iehind facts and e,id ance.
In terms the protest IS general and vague
ana the country will watch with some
interest TO ste whether or not, details
promihent jurists responsible fer this
movement Jisclaim personal lnimuS. Thes
seem to msinuate that Mr.. McKenna is
not fitted by learning "r experience for
81 high a post ion and hat their opposi-
tion il that account alone. At the
same dime apparently th.rc is covert
hint that there are othcr. perhaps col
lateral, Considerations wlich should gov
ern Executive action in the premises. We
have expected that Mr.. Mckenna would
encounter some opposition in the Senate,
from Senator Elkius and other, who do
not regard the Attorney General as sound
i'm his ,o;,st ruct ion of the famous section
% of the Dingley tariff law; but certainly
we have not thought to ser a protest from
episode is not likely to make any differ
ence with Mr.. Mckinley. The fris mis-
who wish to see MIR. McKenna on the Su-
prerne bench, are just as potent with the
Administrations aud iIi the cloak rooms
OF the senate. as ever they were.

Iu private conversation Mr.. Reed does
as 10 Whit Legislation he intends to enact

entirely IN accord with he Administrati ticD,
and that is in connection with the Gage

ably he would not object personally to turn.
iI- them, as well as the Treasury notes
and silver certificates into about billion
dollars worth Of gold bonds for the benefit
of banks and Eastern multimillionaire IN
vcstors. Eut the Autocrat is aware that
the greerback itself is sore AMI scnti-
mental spot TO touch down East, where the
horny ha nded farmers and fishermen swear
that the eIeenback carried the country
through the war. Also they are apt to
udd that the political woodman who de-
Clines to spare that tree and touch not a
single bough, will find himself dangling
from It with tie prccipitancy OF the pu-
nitive d. q. In other respects the Auto

prehistoric thing required of him. Mr..
Mckinley wants Hawaii. IF neccs ;ary
the Houseof Reed can be depended upon to
do its half of the legislation. He believes
in giving Dingley further time In which
to pacify the public revenue. And ttat
is not a. ba idea, either. Tie four months

WIDOWS CLAIMS FOR PENSION
An Official Decision Explanatory of
the Statute.

Among large number of decisions ren
tcrior Webster Davis appears one OF es-
peclal importance relating TO dependent
widows which will probably affect "A num-
Ter Of claims, as there are great many
widows applying for pensions who already
have large property interests and conse-
quently large incomes. 1t is the case OF
Louise wicmeY'age, widow OF Bernar !
Wiemerslage, late Company d, Fiftyefghth
Illinois Volunteer Infantry.
1t is shown by the testimony of his ap-
pellant herself. corroborated by that OF
other witnesses obtained by a special eX-
animation of this claim, that she is the alb
soiute owner Of fifty-one acres OF valuable
real estate situated about twelve miles
from thecity OF Chicago, worth. at her own
valuation, $50 per acre, and which She
states she would not sell at that price, from
which she derives a net annual income of
over $2Gn. talso appears that she retains
and lives In a comfortable and connIodious
dwelling -housl situated on her farm, which
is worth nearly Sc, 900 over and above all
debts and encumbrances, and has no famil y
depending on her except one daughter. IA
stout girl of over thirteen years of age, who
is fully able to Contribute to her own sup
port.
1t is clear from the foregoing that
this appellant is net without other means
OF support than her daily lahor, within
the meaning and intent of the provisions
of section 3. act of June 27, 1890, as CON
strued hy the decisions of this depart
ment, and is not entitled to pension there
under. as the W idow of said deceased sol
dier. Therefore, the claim Is rejected.

And stars are hid, and only breakers foam
Reveals the shore.

Was like fort besicged yet faction

Each passion promised safety, but be-

To keen self -scorn.

And cleared my eyes to sight of Others

Meath burdens great my brethren groaned;

Dropped blood like rain.

Was made as by magic spell to cease,
For Love divine shone through their eyes,

Brought Faith and Peace.
