THE OPPOSITION TO McKENNA.

I the discussion in the Senate Friday the ! pubic IS made of the nature and extent
 of the opposition to the confirmation ot At torney- General McKenna as Justice of the Supreme Court and his friends may congratulate him on the showing. During the debate he had the support of the strong men of the Senate, and his opponents could do no more than postpone the confirmation for week
 Senator Allen who spoke for the opponents of Mr. Mchenna, disclaimed any knowledge of the truth of such charges as have been made against him. lie, however read over all the protests that have been sent to Washington from this coast and asked time to investigate them He laid stress upon the assertion made in some of these that the At torney General lacks the legal atainments necessary to an aspirant for the Supreme bench, and also em- phasized the report that large corporations have been instrumental in procuring the nomination.
 Such being the sum and substance of the charges of the opposition, it did take the friends of Mr. McKenna long to dispose of them. Senator Hoar, speaking as chairman of the Judiciary Committee, stated that the committee has investigated all the charges and found there is no truth in them. The greater number of the charges, he said, had been made for the American Protective Association, and as they had been founded solely upon the fact that MT. McKenna IS Catholic by religion, they had not been deemed worthy of serious consideration. FTOm tne tone or the QlScuSSlOn WHICH lOuOWed IL is evident large majority of the Senators took the same view as the Judiciary Committee No Senator undertook to maintain the truth or the ap- proXmate accuracy of the charges Senator Allen himself disavowed the championship ot them They were treated as unworthy of consideration and served purpose other than that of giving to the friends of Mr. McKenna a welcome opportunity to reute them in open Senate and dispose of them once and for all.
 It is gratifying that both the Senators from Cali fornia cordially supported the candidacy of their fellow Californian. Senator White, though Dem ocrat and opposed in politics to Mr. McKenna. bore witness to the fact that he is an honorable man, competent lawyer, just jurist, and declared he would vote for his confirmation. Senator Perkins equally vigorous in refuting the charges of the opposition and very pertinently pointed out that Judge McKenna's record on the circuit bench suffi- cienty attests his fitness for promotion to the higher office to which he has been nominated
 The whole of the fight against McKenna has been a illustration of the old spirit of tagonism and jealousy that in the past has defeated the aspirations of many Caifornians and kept the State from holding rightful prestige at Wash ington. Fortunately this case has not resulted as those of the past. era has dawned for the urged by petty spite prevent the advancement of honorable men are now treated here in Washing ton as unworthy of serious consideration.

THE PORTABLE STOMACH.

HE report that some doctor abroad had de-
 prived patient of troublesome stomach has
 begun to have the inevitable effect Every doctor seems to want to do the thing and IS in quest of a stomach for which the owner has no strongly marked affection Twice has the opera ton been essayed in this country and twice has the patient died but in each instance, 1t IS gratifying to note not until admiring science had pronounced the operation successful Here arises point of some deicacy What constitutes success? The mere re- moval of an internal organ scarcely be thus characterized, for Jack the Ripper never fell short of accomplishing this when he set out to do it, and any butcher could take a cleaver and achieve the same feat. II the purpose of eliminating the stonl- ach from the human economy IS to cure the ache ot it without regard to the longevity of the original proprietor, of course the creation of a vacuum mid way of the mortal frame is sufficient token that sue cess has crowned the efforts Of the operator, and whether the frame collapse is collateral consider ation of but incidental moment. That the medical world and the enough world fail to agree IS due to difference in the point of view.

 Why?

HARELY does the Congressional Record con R tain anything of interest to the general reader. Even when debates are liveliest ill Congress the Record manages by eliminations to make them appear of that kind of decorum which is always dull Sometimes however, 1t has the good luck to get out live issue and that luck attended it in the publication of the number containing the discussion in the House on the civil service law on January 7.
 MT Gilett of Massachusetts, warm supporter of the mugwump system of civil service cited the ad- ministration of the House of Representatives it. self evidence of the evil results of leaving the selection of officials to party patronage "We have" he said, more employees, we pay them higher sal aries, have poorer service than under any other system" Dropping into poetry, he described the way to success in getting the payroll of the House as follows:
 It lies through two swing doors, swung to-
 The attendance is always full
 Some by the door marked Push get through,
 And the rest by the door marked Pull"
 That scored one for the civil service examination side but the other party got their innings when MT Paris pointed out that ability to pass an examination does not imply ability to perform good executive service. Robert Ingersoll he said, could pass an examination in theology, but that would not fit him to serve as pastor in an orthodox church On the other hand man who could not pass examina- ton in the simplest matters might have the exact capacity for the work required of him. To prove that he told the story of in his city who had sue cessfully managed large mercantile business and acquired therein fortune, but who, being selected to take inventory of a stock of goods, wrote "sox" for socks, and when his attention was called to it changed it by writing "soxes"
 MT. Mahany made good speech and won ap- pause in maintenance of the theory that ability to get office is sufficient evidence of ability fill it. and that examinations waste of time. He laid 1t down axiom that "any is capable of administering any job he get' Carrying his argument to its logical and supreme conclusion, he declared "It is the greatest glory of our Govern ment that almost any you meet the street is capable of being Chief Magistrate of the United States, and if capable of yielding that high power is certainly capable of administering subordinate office"
 MT. Kerr showed the absurdty of the examina- ton system by citing of the questions candi- dates had to answer. Two of these are as follows Two-thirds of -nirths of what number is half of eight and two-ffths divided by fourteen and seven-tenths less fourteen and two-sevenths? A man weighing seventy-two pounds with a ve- locity of six against standing but not resisting whose weight is ninetysix pounds. What is the re- suit?
 Taken altogether 1t good debate, and even if instructive future generations was at any rate calculated to add to the gayety of nations.
