TES rIMONY FROM HOME

A timely and interesting publication
is that of the action of the Oregon Bar
Association protesting against the ap-
pointment of Attorney General Nc
Kenna to the Supreme Court. In this
formal protest which the lawyers Of
Oregon have forwarded to President
Mckinley against McKenna's elevation
to the bench occurs this strong Ian
guage: Joseph McKenna's common
reputation among his legal brethren,
or among his judicial brethren, has
not accorded him a high place; but,
on the contrary, though many who
esteemed him until now rnfrained
from an expression of opinion, the con-
sensus of opinion has been and is that
he is not, either by natural gifts &C
quired learning or decision of charac-
ter, qualified for any judicial place Of
Importance, much less for the highest
place in the land
eve submit" declare these lawyers,
w AOSO OppOl luultlCo LII lCdl AlA6 bOth
the character and attachments of Nc
Kenna have been of the first class,
that. rather than dilute the high
quality of the Supreme Court, it
would be better to select some one
not from the Pacific Coast; but we
believe there is abundance of material
on this coast from which to make a
selection
The Oregon protest is not an abusive
document. 1t is calm, judicial and pa
triotic in tone. 1t even offers to sur
render the representation which the
Pacific Coast has had in the Supreme
Court since the days of Lincoln
rather than see the representation
lowered in standard. This is a sacri-
fee which would be volunteered only
for reasons that were powerful.
1t is doubtful whether the protest
will be availing. The President has
been made acquainted with the unfit
ness of McKenna for the high position
but seems not to have been Influenced
against him. McKenna's name will be
sent to the Senate, and it will rest with
that body to save the Supreme Court
and the country from the injurious ef-
fects Of his appointment.
In this act even more than in his
message, the President shows the
weakness Of his character. He
knows that McKenna is an unit man
for the position to which he would
elevate him, and yet he will appoint
him. The bargain was made between
Hanna and the Morgan syndicate,
which requires a representative in the
highest court in the land, and as the
Morgan syndicate gave MAJ y tens of
thousands to secure McKinley's cleo
ton, tie beneficiary feels it in
cumbent upon him to do the bidding Of
the syndicate and his campaign man
ager. He is too weak a man to do
what he knows is right.

MONEY In POLITICS.

Mr. Peter A. B. Widener, of street car
fame, has given to the city of Philadel-
phia his palatial residence, at Broad and
Girard avenue, to be used as branch
of the public library. He has, further
more, promised to bequeath to the city
a splendid art collection. All of which
is the occasion of some discussion in
the press. The Denver News displays
keen knowledge of the sinuosities of
Philadelphia politics in its comments.
MIR. Widener," it says, has taken his
place with the other men who have
accumulated great wealth under the pc
culiar industrial conditions which pre-
vail, and whose methods have been bit
terly attacked as wrong in equity, if
not wrong in law, yet who seek to rank
themselves among philanthropists. In
early years Mr.. Widener was a Phila-
delpia politician. He affiliated him.
self with that powerful cabal which has
been denounced as one of the most dan
gerous Mngs ever organized in an
American city. He became city treas
urer. He then branched out as a cap
italist. He is now president of the
Philadelphia Traction Company, and is
interested in street railways in many
cities. He is member, with Steve Ell
kins, of the company which recently
secured control of the Philadelphia
city gas plant. 1t has been charged that
the gas plant, while operated by the
city, was allowed, by conspirators con-
trolling the city's politics, to run down
to such an extent as to cause a heavy
loss to the treasury while furnishing a
most unsatisfactory service to gas con-
sumers. 1t has been charged that $780,
DOC was distributed among the members
of the Councils which passed the meas
ure transferring the plant from the city
to the syndicate.
Whether these charges ere true or

IN LOCAL MUSICAL CIRCLES

The Philharmonic gave its twenty
fourth concert last evening, in the Car
roll Club auditorium. The programme
prepared was an unusually fine one, every
number being interesting, as well as GOOD
music, and it is seldom that the quartet
was heard to better advantage than last
night. Several encores were enthusiast
tically demanded, proving the audience
thoroughly appreciative. Schuberts beau
tiful quartet opus 125, No 4, opened the
evening and the last movement (allegro)
especially well interpreted, set the pace
fer enlivened interest which continued
through the Mozart (No. ~, Mendelssohn
(spring song) and Victor Herleet (sere-
nade) trios for piano, vic in and cello and
eliminated in highest plea sure in the thlrd
movement (andante cantibile con varla-
zone) of the Beethoven quartet OPP. is NO.
s. in which Interpretation each instrument
was heard at it's best, and the informing
ling was artistic. In fact the reading of
the Beethoven quartet last night gives
promise of an exceptional treat for mu-
sic lovers Thursday evening, December

will celebrate the anniversary of the birth
of Beethoven with an evening devoted
exclusively to his writings. The Carroll
