THE VIRTUE OF INEXPERIENCE.

The Senate judiciary Committee is confronted
with a serious responsibility in connection with
the filling of the new United States District
Judgeship for Western New York which it has
been instrumental in creating The sub-com-
mittee. consisting Of Senators Davis Thurston
and Pettus gave a hearing on Friday to the
opponents and supporters of John K. Hazel the
Buffalo politician, whose nomination was Sc
cured and whose confirmation has been urged
Oh the strength. ii is said, of untrue recon-
mendations extorted by the machine from
Judges and others. 1t is declared that one
Judge was induced to write a letter telling how
much he had been impressed by Mr.. Hazels
great legal abilities on the many occasions
when he had appeared before him, whereas the
records show that Mr.. Hazel had but one case
before that Judge in a long period Of years, and
that he had appeared in the trial Of just four
cases ali told in Erie County in ten years.
The hearing must have furnished a novel
sensation to the Senators of the committee.
Probably for the first time in their lives they
heard inexperience urged as qualification for
the bench. In whatever light Mr. Hazel's expe-
rience at the bar and fitness TO administer admi-
ralty law may have been represented to the
President by his friends, when confronted by
the detailed statements of his lack of standing
at the bar they made no attempt to defend their
Endorsements or TO show that Mr. Hazel was an
able lawyer but concentrated their efforts on
convincing the Senators that IL didn't need
much Of a lawyer TO be a United States Judge.
Mr.. Hazel it said, would in few years
develop into good Judge. Going on the bench
would give him the opportunity to study law
which his absorption in politics had deprived
him of. IL was seriously contended that poll
tician used TO "siZing up" people was better for
a Judge than man who had devoted himself
TO the law and Mr.. Hazers training as the
lender OF the machine in Buffalo was cited as
proof that he must have the ability to try cases
of admiralty and patent law, even IL he had
no knowledge OF these specialties Finally, as
last refuge from the proof of unfitness, the
committee was informed that the older and
better trained lawyers of the district could not
be induced TO go the United States bench
ald the evil example Of the machine in New
York in turning the Stare judiciary over 10 the
g;oliticians-an evil which has come TO a serious
pass here, that judges think themselves
privileged 10 run political conventions from the
judicial chamber-was offered an excuse for
the degradation Of the Federal courts TO the same
level; for even Mr.. Hazels supporters could not
succeed in convincing themselves >that ii WAS
anything but degradation. The strength Of

THE SPIRIT THAT DENIES.

The eXtremities to which the enemies of the
Administration in its Philippine policy are
driven strikingly shown in the Senate
proceedings of Thursday. Beaten at every
point in argument, they fell back upon the
simple resort of denying every fact that counted
against them. Was some statement made by
the President? 1t was false. Did Admiral
Dewey say thus and so? He was untruthful.
Did General Otis officially report this or that?
He lied Was the lamented Lawton's last
message quoted to their discontinue? He never
wrote it; the letter was a forgery. And asked
for their authority for these denials, they simply
refused to give them General Otis was a liar
because some Army officer, whose name could
not be divulged, had said so to some one else
whose name must be merged into the Eeusinian
mysteries. Lawtons letter was declared
forgery because several persons, reporters and
other people," said so, and of course they ought
to know.
Such ere the tactics Of the Opposition! In
such fashion are gravest matters of National
policy discussed, Why not go to the logical
conclusion of such a course and deny everything
that it might be inconvenient to admit? Who
says that Jefferson purchased Louisiana and
governed it outside of the Constitution? It is
false. Who says that the Constitution gives
Congress power to make rules for the control
Of property of the United States? 1t is a lie,
because somebody told somebody else that
Tertium Quld said so. What could be more
convincing? Deny everything. That is the
secret of success in controversy. When your
case is hopeless call the opposing attorney a
liar That is the first principle of legal practice.
There was once one who called himself The
Spirit That Denies. He was Mephstopheles.
Do the members Of the Opposition care to
accept him as their patron saint?

POPVLIST CENSORSHIP

If we remember rightly, Mr.. William J. Bryan,
of Nebraska, is great stickler for Democratic
principles including the freedom of the press
He ought TO turn his attention to affairs at
home and see that his Popuist supporters, in
their anxiety to control the election machinery
next fall and give him the States electoral vote
do not invoke to muzZle the press those tyran-
nical court processes which he so vigorously
denounces when exercised TO keep striking rail-
road men from wrecking trains If there is any
thing worse than a mandamus injunction in
the eyes OF a good Populist like Mr. Bryan, 1t is
a process for contempt of court issued when the
alleged contempt is not committed in the pres
ence Of the Court. When Debs was summoned
for contempt because of actions among the
strikers OF Chicago it a high handed out
rage but when n Nebraska editor far away
from the courtroom, sees fit in moderate fashion
to discuss public question involving the rights
OF the citizens Of Nebraska. the Populist judges
summon him for contempt of court.
The city government Of Omaha Is Repub-
Iican and the Populists want to get possession
of the police and election machinery. Accord
ingly they have trumped up a suit attacking
the law under which the local authorities con-
troll these functions and seeking to restore to
the Populist Governor the appointment of city

former Populist Governor, was In office the
same question came up, and, 1T Is alleSed, ne
was thoroughly committed as a politician to the
position which his Popust friends now take
Holcomb is now on the Supreme bench and one
of the judges on this question in which he him
self has taken so strong an interest A Re
publican newspaper when the suit was
brought in temperate language expressed the
objections of the Republicans to having the
case tried in the Supreme Court, and urged that
Judge Holcomb ought not to sit in judgment on
it. This would seem to be fair exercise of the
right to comment on public affairs, and it might
even seem to have been duty to the court to
warn it of widespread popular feeling Of this
kind. But Judge Hoicomb and his Popust col
leagues, who form majority of the court, were
angered, and have ordered the editor to
show cause why he should not be punished for
contempt.
This action is regarded by many people in
Nebraska as a high handed attempt to silence
the press and smooth the Populist path to the
seizure of such powers as the party does not
already possess in the State. Mr.. Bryan ought
to consider it. 1t will be difficult to distinguish
Popust despotism and censorship from the
other brands of those articles which he and his
party are so fond of denOuncng II he does not
take prompt steps to moderate the zeal of his
followers

The refusal of Senator Lindsay of
Kentucky to support Bryan is an in
! teresting episode of the campaign
Senator Lindsay is a Democrat, but he
is not a Bryan Democrat And his
reasons for not being a Bryan Demo-
crat are not fattering to Bryan. The
Senator says it looks as if Mckinley
would have a majority of the votes in
Kentucky for the presidency and that
Yerkes would receive more votes for
the governorship than Beckham. But,
he says, there is danger that the deci-
sion of the people may be nullified by
the action of the men who control the
State election machinery 1t was so
nullifed last year, and after the Repub-
lican candidate had polled a majority
Of the votes and after the Democratic
candidates had begun to contest the
decision of the board of canvassers Mr.,
Bryan entered the State and encour
aged the contestants In their purposes
and congratulated them that the courts
were of their party. The Senator con-
cludes in these words: IF the people
of the country have come to regard
the courts of Kentucky as more or less
governed by political considerations in
the administration of the law, we are
as much indebted to Mr. Bryan for that
unfortunate fact as to any other man.
Kentucky ought to repudiate both
Beckham and Bryan, and with fair
and free election and an honest count
will repudiate both"
Senator Lindsay seems to have accur-
ately sized up Bryan and Organism.
