The judiciary committee of the Senate
has refused to report favorably the no
mination of John r. Hazel of Buffalo
for judge of the United States District
Court, and decided to give representatives
of the New York bar association a chance
to be heard on Saturday. If the facts
about Mr.. Hazel are as reported by the
New York Tribune, mistake was made
when he was selected for judge. Though
nominally a lawyer, he has not appeared
in court half a dozen times in the past
ten years Most of his business has been
managing politics for Senator Platt, and
there Is little doubt that Platt recon-
mended him for judge simply to reward
him for political work. Even his friends
do not claim that he is well fitted for a
judgeship now, but they say he is man
of ability and II appointed will in course
of time grow up to the place. That may
be true. A man without knowledge of
the business OF an engineer, might, In
time, be able to run a railroad train or a
steamboat successfully, but to allow the
lives of people to be risked while he
was acquiring his knowledge would be a
great crime. OF course 1t isn't so bad to
risk the property and legal rights of men
while man Is being trained as q judge,
but as there are competent men to be
had, men who have the necessary knowl-
edge and training, the appointment of
an incompetent and unframed man,
though in time he may become compe-
tent wonld seem to be inexcusable.

Senator Lodge has concluded not to
press the Spooner Philippine bill further
this session. Several Democratic sena-
tors expressed an intention to debate 1t
at great length, and it was found,> too,
that some of the Republican leaders In
the House, notably Mr.. Cannon, were
opposed to it as giving too autocratic
r,nxyers To the President.

The Portland daily press., 1900-05-31

One of the candidates complains that
the PRESS, along with other papers,
has misstated the preferences OF the dele
gates already elected to the county con-
yention. That is possible. At the same
time every statement of preference
made by the PRESS has been made upon
what appeared to be trustworthy and
impartial evidence. When caucus
instructs its delegates for certain can
didate it is natural to conclude that they
will vote for that candidate. That GER
tainly would seem to be their duty. But
we admit that an instruction is not alb
solutely conclusive. A delegate may
disobey his instructions, and his vote has
Just as much effect in that case as II he
had followed them. But the
natural assumption Is that he
will obey his instruction, and
whenever delegate has been Instructed
for n candidate we have placed him in his
column. In cases where delegates were
not instructed we have sought to ascer-
, tain from the delegates themselves their
preferences, and in most cases have OBJ
tanned statements in regard to them. But
delegates uninstructed have u right to
change their minds, and so 1t may hap
pen that while one day it is perfectly cor
rect to say they are for a certain candidateI
it may be equally correct the next day
to credit them to another candidate. We
have endeavored to give the standing
of the delegations as fairly as possible,
and If there have been any misstatements
they have been entirely unintentional
We entertain no prejudice for or against
either of the candidates. They are con
Quoting their own campaign, and we are
simply giving the results as accurately
as we can ascertain them. If we could
keep both of them in the lead we should
doubtless avoid all criticism and please
the friends Of both. But this We are
not able to do. Meanwhile each candidate
may have the privilege of publishing his
own estimates in our columns and the
basis of them If he chooses.
