JUSTICE A. W. NEWMAN, of the
Supreme court of Wisconsin, died at
1a.30 Wednesday morning, Jan. Il, of
5mFgEies received in fall Tuesday.
.gHsaiee Newman was born April 5,
1S3a, in Durham, Greene county, New
York, and graduated from Hamilton
nsasege at Clinton, Oneida county, New
Yegk, with the class Of 1857. He came
30 Wisconsin shortly after his gradua-
aso@, and settled at Ahnapee, Kewaunee
ssaDty, whence he removed to Trem-
genleau. In '63, and '68 and $50,
respectively, he was in the state
assembly and senate From "76 to 1913
ae was circuit judge of the sixth cir
e#ls. In April, 1898, he was elected
associate justice of the supreme cour'
10 succeed Hon. William P Lyon.
Justice Newman's service on the
supg8me bench has been one of great
a&6Giency His extensive legal knoWl-
EDGE and great ability as practitioner
sassly placed him among the leading
representatives of the bar. He had nc
sGabition for place. His election tc
GAB supreme bench was not sought for
ap08 really came as the unanimous rec
sgDition of ability and qualification
His faithful and studious performance
st duty during the past four years art
good and sufficient proof of his title tt
the position.
Who shall fill the position left vacan
by Mr.. Newman's death is an unset
Sled question. It is Gov. Scofeld'l
privileges to make an appointment
Whether or not he will do this, or if ht
should who would be his choice, is no
known But however this may be til,

ACCURATE and authentic reports
from Cuba follow one another in rapid
succession. We notice, under date OF
Jan. Ii, two dispatches from Havana,
one stating that confusion and strife
reigned in that city, the other saying
that peace and quiet prevailed. 1t is
from these reliable authorities that we
are enabled to draw the data from which
to make logical deductions on the true
situation in Cuba.

IF th question of Judge Newman's
successor we're to be decided solely on
merit it would be much more difficult
one to decide than it is, notwith-
standing it's present great Importance.
Of.the names proposed all are undoubt
eddy thoroughly qualified to fill the
place and perform the duties attaching
to it satisfactorily. Mere ability,
therefore, is not the main considera-
ton. Custom and the two elements of
locality and judicial service will prob
ably exercise the controlling influence.
Judge Hastings, of Green Bay, and
Judge ellison, of Fond du Lac, are the
most likely candidates as yet suggest
ed. They have both given long and
able service on the judicial Circuit,
Judge ellison having served since 81
and Judge Hastings since '84. judge
Gilson's present time expires in Janu-
airy, '99, and consequently his successor
must be elected at the April elections.
If not appointed to the Supreme
bench, however, he will in all proba-
bility succeed himself. OF course his
appointment would eliminate the me-
cessity of two elections to supply the
Circuit bench, since Judge Hastings
time will not expire until January,
1902, thus making it necessary to elect
man to his unexpred term. Judge
Hastings, however, is the only man
who truly represents the at present
unrepresented northeastern pa1t of the
State.

ONE cannot give the subject Of the
Hawaiian annexation too careful con-
sideration. The great questions at issue
in the annexation treaty are OF signal
Importance and to discuss them we'll
in their salient points is simply wisdom.
The beetsugar propagandists, however,
are carrying their arguments TO a
ridiculous degree and laying a loud
stress on the dire efforts of Hawaiian
competition. These arguments in
themselves are the essence OF foolish
ness. A few men eager for wealth
would oppose their personal interests
to the welfare of the nation. For fear
that an infanG industry be baked they
urge that the government legislate to
its own detriment in order to perfect
their industry. Even if annexation did
threaten the future productiveness of
the beet sugar business, the ratification
of the treaty should not be made to
depend upon any such considerations.
This is not the case, however, since our
present protective measure brings
Hawaii inside Of our tariff wall and
annexation would not change but would
simply preserve the present status.

The Hawaiian annexation treaty is

be no promise of conclusion during
the week. The presence of President
Dole will undoubtedly augment the
interest a. present manifested for the
measure. He certainly ought to be
qualified to speak convincingly on the
subject.

Defendants in Damage Suit.
The case of Henry Hunter has taken
new turn and Mr.. Horton, the uncle
of the Proctor boy, was in the city to-
day making arrangements or a suit
against Hunter for Sc, 900. Mr.. Horton
was seen by reporter today and said
that the boy had been constantly under
the care of a doctor since he left the
home of Hunter and was still in a pre-
carious condition. II. p )ctor, the

Newman's Successor.

AT the end OF lengthy editorial on
the successor of Judge Newman, the
Fond du Lac Commonwealth makes
the following suggestion relative to
naming the candidate:
With present light upon the sub
ject, the Commonwealth is impress ed
that public sentiment should crystallze
in the Office of the Governor. We have
entire confidence in the sound Judg-
ment and official as well as personal
integrity of Governor Scotield. Let
him receive the papers in behalf OF all
aspirants, hear arguments in their be-
half and designate successor TO
Judge Newman, for the few Intervening
weeks, with the UNDERSTANDING that
the person appointed shall be the can
didate for election in April next. This
seems to be the shortest, easiest and
really the only practical way out of the
difficulties that present themselves IN
connection with this most important
question"
This is undoubtedly the wisest and
most expedient way of bringing the
matter before the public for final set
Element at the April election. This is.
moreover, the natural course. Gov
Scofeld is empowered to fill the chair
by appointment during the interval.
The responsibility is one, however,
which the Governor may not care to
assume. There are only three months
before the election and during that
time there is no pressing need of an
other occupant of Judge Newman's
chair. The time is not one to make an
appointment at all imperative. 1t is
further very probable that with the
correspondence, the examination of
papers, the difficulty in finding a per-
son at the same time desirable and
willing to accept the candidacy, the
appointment would occupy nearly a
third of the remaining time, and since
such appointment might cause consid-
cradle complaint for one reason and
another, the Governor could not be
blamed for disposing of the matter in
another way.
Among the names mentioned il con-
nection with the Office are those of
many leading lawyers throughout the
State. It is not likely, however, that
the vacancy will be filed from this
class. This is especially unlikely if the
Governor makes the appointment. 1t
has been customary, and the custom is
apt to prevail, to fill vacancies in the
Supreme Court from the Circuit This,
together with the element of locality,
which has been an influential factor
ever since each district had its rep
resentative on the Supreme bench,
confines the field to but one candidate,
Judge Hastings, who as Judge of the
18th Circuit, represents the counties OF
Brown, Door, Marinette and Oconto,
and thus the northeastern section of
the State is the only logical successor
of Judge Newman. Judge Hastings
refused the position, to (Which Gov.
Upham offered him the appointment,
and to which Judge Marshall has since
been elected. This 1 fact naturally
causes some doubt as to his accepting
the present vacancy. However, it is
reported that Gov. Scofcld looks favor
ably to Mr.. Hastings and will offer him
the appointment His record on the
Circuit proves his qualification for the
position. 1t is to be hoped that he
will find it possible to accept Gov.
Scofad's appointment if the same is
proffered.
