THE UNPOPULARITY OF MIR. AN
''7 DREW LANG.

A writer on the stair Of the New
York Tribune takes occasion to in
quire why the ''mediocrities" are down
uron Mr.. Andrew Lang, remar5ing
that ''he is so far above his usual
detractors in scholarship, in poetic
feeling, in literary skill, in taste, in
everything that goes to make a. man
of letters that it would be instructive
to get al the real reason of the outcrv
against him. The Stiffness is
spreading to America 1t Is NOT nm
common to hear Lang patronized here
by writer's who are unworthy to tie his
literary shoestrings.
The Tribune's outbreak conveys to
us the first definite assurance we have
seen of the dissatisfaction Of MIR.
Lang's contemporaries with that gen
tleman, and we do not hesitate to saw
that the assurance is a gratifying one
II Mr.. Lang is becoming unpopular
with the public at large as we believe
is the case, it is perhaps better that
he should become aware of the fact
for the dislike the intelligent reader
has for Mr.. Lang is directly founded
upon the dislike Mr.. Lang has for
the reader, and would doubtless disap-
pear if the writer were led to revise
his opinion of his audience Doubtless
Mr.. Lang's erudition is unbounded, but
SO also, apparently, is his scorn for
that portion Of the public which is
credulous enough to take him for a

of the campaign, they have nothing to
say They viii appoint an information
al commission, and after that see what
it is best to do,
The main inference, which we do not
think IS unwarranted, either by the
character of the men in whose hands
the Republican party now is, or by
their actions in the early part of the
campaign, and by everything that has
happened since, is that, if it should
seem best" for the tariff barons and
the Republican officeholders to make
some kind OF dicker with the silver
men, even if it involve the enactment
of legislation on the lines of that of
1878 and 1890, they would not hesitate
to do it. This is the official programme
That it means the continuance of pub
lie distress and business depression we
have already too ample and sorrowful
confirmation. 1t is a poor recompense
that it also certainly means, If per-
sisted in, the utter defeat and disap-
pearance of the Republican party with
the close of the century. If that party
betrays the people who put it into
power as it is now. proposing to do,
that people will wreak their vengeance
upon it, no matter what the platform
Of the opposition may be. The Repub-
lican organization stands facing the
greatest opportunity of it's existence,
we believe, but to reject and trample'
it under foot. We know, in that case,
that its punishment will be capital.
Sentence of death will be passed and
executed. The unhappy part of it is
that it is the people of the whole coun-
try who must bear the consequences Of
this contemplated policy of shame.

AN ADMIRABLE APPOINTMENT.

Inc appointment yesterday by GOV.
Clough of Mr.. George l.. Bum to fill
the vacancy on the district bench
caused by the death of Judge Kerr is
one altogether satisfactory, and admir-
able both in the personal and the po-
litical aspect Mr.. Bum is one of the
younger members of the Ramsey coun-
ty bar, but none is better suited to fill
this position with honor to himself and
benefit to the public. He is one Of those
modest and unassuming men whose
qualities are known at their full value
only after long acquaintance. His legal
training and requirements are Of the
best. He possesses personally the re-
spect and confidence of his profession
and Of all who have come into per-
sOnal contact with him. And he has
that most necessary requirement of all,
the judicial temperament. This ability
to weigh things calmly and impartialIy,
free from the heat or the prepossessiOn
of the moment, is not a common gift
Of nature. 1t is the highest qualifica
NNONA
good fortune to r,o~~eoo cnlS quality in
a rnarlra-a- ~rrgree. We have no doubt
ehat his service as judge will earn and
receive the enthusiastic support of this
community. To the lawyers who are
proud of their profession and jealous
of its advancements, and to his friends
who are attached to him by a tie of
unusual intimacy and strength, this ap-
pointment comes as one of those in
stances of the selection of the fittest
the coordination of the man and the
Office, which are subjects of rejoicing
in proportion to their rarity in political
affairs
From the party point OF view, Gov.
Clough is to be congratulated upon hav-
ing done at one stroke an act Of Justice
and an act of the highest political ex-
pediency. We are of that respectable
minority who believe that the right
! thing is always The best thing; that it
is good politics" as we'll as good mo-
rality. Gov. Clough has seen fit to pass
over the Republican candidates. among
character and great legal ability, to
nominate a Democrat; for such. in its
best Interpretation, is Mr.. Bunn's no
litical faith. He thus restores the equal
division Of the Ramsey county bench
politically, and the admirable rule of
judicial distribution which did such
good service here until it was ruthless
ly set aside by the last Republican
county convention. We give him due
credit for the motive that inspired the
act and the courage required to per
form it; and he cannot be ignorant that
the wisdom Of his policy is commended
by thoughtful Republicans as we'll as
by gratified Democrats. We hone that
by this act there may be reinstated the
OLD practice which has for so many
years measurably removed the district
bench from the combinations and in
huences actively at work in the ordi-
nary political campaign. From every
point Of view the filing of this impor-
tant post has been accomplished in the
most creditable manner. AS for the
people of this county, we can assure
them that they will be more Thoroughly
convinced of the excellence Of this an
pointment after they have had the
services of Judge Bum upon the bench
Tor few years than even the most
enthusiastic Of them are today.
