The first consideration in the selection
OF judge Is that the man O hosen shall
possess the qualifications needed for that
office. BY the side Of this all other con-
siderations are comparatively insignifi-
cant. But assuming that the choice lies
between two candidates, of equal qualiti-
cations, the locality argument Is entitled
to weight. We have at present three
judges from the extreme eastern section
OF the State, two from the central portion
and one from the western. The Judge
whose place is to be filled was from the
last section. Other things being equal,
1t would seem fit that his successor
should be from this part of thas State
Other things are equal in the case in
point. Mr.. Peakes is no better lawyer
than Judge Peabody. He win bring no
more distinction to the bench. Thers is
no reason to believe that he VIII make
any better judge. He is from the eastern
part Of the State, where there are already
three judges, while Judge Peabody is
from the western part, where there is but
one. The logic of the situation ought
TO make the selection of Judge Peabody
certain. But there Is apparently dIsin-
cltnation somewhere to aoocept the logic
OF the situation, else why this long
delay when. the court Is sadly in
need OF Its full quota of judges, or this
''hustling" about at this late day with
petitions.

The Hon. Carl Schurz and the Hon.
Charles Francis Adams are at odds as 10
the best way to check Imperialism. Mr..
Sohurz thinks the best way is to vote
against Mr.. Mckinley. MIR. Adams
thinks that way will tend to expose the
country to other dsngers-nobably the
danger of q appreciated ourrency-and
suggests that bettsr way Will be to
elect MIR. Mckinley and Surround him
with hostile House OF Representatives.
Mr. Adams entertains grave doubts OF
the sincerity OF the professed opposition
of the Democracy to expansion or imper-
ialism. He believes that II Mr.. Bryan
should ever call together Democratic
House TO change the Philippine policy SC
as to put those islands on the same basis as
Cuba, he would ind the.entire delegation
from the south opposed TO giving up any
thing We had acquired, and the whole
Croker element at the North in sympa-
thy with them, and would therefore be
able to make no .headway whatever ]
the policy which ne has outlined In his
speeches But he thinks that Demo
cratic House II Mr.. MCKINLEY were Presi.
dent, could ns counted upon to act az
an opposition majority always doss act,
In direct hostility to tine administration, -
and therefore in direct hostility to the
Presidents Philippine policy. He Illus
trates the futillty OF expecting Mr.
Bryan and a Democratic House to make
any radical change In that policy, BY
recalling how Senator German and a
Democratic faction eheokmated President
Cleveland's tariff policy. This toatro.
versy between the two gentl,men has
little more than an academic interest, for
it is practically certain not only that MIR
Mckinley win be elected, but also that
the House will he Republican, As Illus
trating the dissensions between the anti
mperialists, IL Is of some sg1ilcan ~
however. Mr.. Adams thinks that free
silver is q more threatening danger than
Imperialism, but Mr.. Schurz can Sc
nothing but the latter.

SEEING BRYAN TWICE.
New York Commercial Advertiser.

The second Bryan meeting was not as
patient as the first. The news reports
say that people began TO shuttle and drib-
bic out after his speech was well begun,
just as they did at his first New York
meeting, four years ago. There Is more
in this than the safety OF second sight
OF freak candidate. The first meeting of
this year was held under Fammany dis
cipline with the poiics TO enforce it. The
second was called under the auspices of
the State League OF Democratic clubs
They got a crowd together to see Bryan,
but couldn't hold It.. This was bet
ter measure of the real public interest In
what he has to say than the other. That
had more value as q precise measure OF
the relations between the Bryan Democra.
cy In the country and Tammany Hall.
Bryan Is Tammany's candidate; the
first Presidential candidate OF its very
own 1t has ever had Tammany has COM
PEELED its minions to do MIN every honor
with exactness. but 1t isn't going to
take any trouble to keep crowd to-
gether for mere meeting OF Democra-

latter was not included In the census Of

enumerated on the same basis rs four
years ago the aggregate would
have been about million less. While the
increase numerically has been larger than
in any previous decade, as would be
natural, the increase reckoned In per

cause Of the Decline is the falling of in
immigration, but chat will mot account
for all the difference. Apparently the

also declined somewhat. Names in
