will come up for discussion, and Re-
publ1cans must be prepared with both
offensive and defensive tactics. While
the Republican party is apparently in a
better position in the extreme West than
1t was In 1886. the situation in the North
and Middle West is sufficient to cause
concern. The Sound Money Democrats
were willing to support Mckinley or Pal
mer in the last campaign rather than
permit Bryan to become president, and
to tnaugurate a free Silver policy. These
Democrats are now hostile to McKin-
ley and not So averse to Bryan since
congress deprived the secretary of the
treasury of the privilege Of disturbing
the gold standard. The disposition of the
sound money men may not effect the
electoral vote OF thef Eastern states, but
it is likely to cut some figure in the
congressional elections. There seems to
be considerable discomfort with the adj
m1n1stration in such states as Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa and Min
nesota, growing out of the colonial ques-
tions. Republicans may treat this with
disdain, but If they ignore it they may
awake on the morning after the cleo
ton to an unpleasant realization.

AssATLING THE BENCH.

From time to time the public Is treated
to more or less striking illustration of
the influence on high public station ex-
ercised by the class of men who are
chiefly leaders in the councils of the
present national administration That
influence is Invariably an evil influence
and it is invariably effective unless some
circumstance arises which stirs UP the
public conscience, when trouble is sure
TO result.
The judicial bench is assailed, as are
all other departments of the public serv-
lie by this influence. 1t is not so long
since certain judicial nominations forced
on the people in Pennsylvania by Senator
Quay proved to be so bad that they had
to be revoked, and the candidates were
compelled to withdraw by sheer force of
public opinion. The latest case Of the
Same kind has occurred in New York
where Il politician named Hazel was an
pointed by the president at the dictation
of Senator Plat as United States district
judge for the Western district of the
state
This appointment has aroused the indfg-
nation of the bar of the state and has
stirred the world of politics to its
depths. Mr.. Hazel is the Republican
machine ruler in Buffalo He has never
made serious pretense of practicing the
profession of law, but his skill as a pro-
fessional politician, which he is by occu-
patton. is undisputed. After the state
had been thoroughly aroused on the sub
ject the Bar Association of New York
took the matter under consideration, and
lnasmuch as Hazel would be called On to
sit in that city during a part Of each
year, felt at liberty to make careful, in
Vestigation as to his qualifications and
general fitness for the position to which
he had been named by President McKin-
ley. The result has been that that or
ganization mas indorsed the~report of it's
committee on judicial nominations pro-
testing against the appointment. The
following resolution embodies the conclu-
sions reached:
Resolved That, judged by the standard
Of judicial requirement which this asso-
citation has repeatedly adopted, viz, that
the career of candidate for a judicial
once should furnish unmistakable evil
dence Of capacity and fitness to discharge
It's duties, this association does not ,leem
John r. Hazel a fit candidate for the
Office of district judge, and Is OF the
opinion that his nomination should not be
confirmed.
The example thus set by the Bar Asso-
citation of Greater New York has been. or
will probably be, followed by every as
sociation of attorneys in the state, and
the senate will be confronted with the
problem as to whether 1t can safely set
Itself in antagonism to the universal SEN
timent of the people of the state of
New York by confirming the appointment

Climax of Scandals.

Behind these figures many secrets are
concealed Among them are Estes G..
Rathbones gorgeous life in one of Ha-
vanas finest mansions, conducted on a
scale of $4,000 a year; Charles F. w
NeeIy's sudden rise from poverty in In
diana to afIIuence and grandeur in Cuba
and, more still, the career of the North
American Trust company, the govern
ment's fiscal agent for Cuba" with
Fletcher S. Heath, brother of First AS
sistant Postmaster General Heath, as one
of it's directors.
s No wonder senators at Washington are
amazed at the size and plain significance
Of these figures. No wonder there is de-
rnand for a thorough and rigid investiga-
tion.
The Iooting Of Cuba is the scandalous
climax Of an administration that has been
most prolific in scandals.

THIEVES IN HIGH PLACES.

Winona Herald
The rottennesS in Cuban affairs appears
to be growing in magnitude, and men in
high positions declare that a thorough
investigation will disclose condition of
things that IS simply deplorable. They de-
clare that the customs house in Havana
has been found to be a mass of corruption
and fraud The stealngs there will be
greater than they ever were during Wey-
ler's administration, while the same con-
ditfon, to d certain extent, prevails
throughout the entire island, wherever
there is a customs officer. The reasons
for certain changes in the Cuban tariff,
commented upon in the Herald recently,
have also been learned. It was certain
there was some concealed thievery in the
change in the steel and iron schedule, re-
ducing the tariff on railroad construction
material from 40 to 10 per cent ad valorem.
It now develops that Robert P. Porter,
the maker of the Cuban tariff, is deeply
interested in a wealthy syndicate which
has obtained railroad franchises in Cuba.
Senator Bacon is now urging an investi-
cation of Mr.. Porter and his work in con-
nection with the Cuban tariff. and he is
likely to bring out a number of facts that
will add to the already vast load of dis
credit borne by the Mckinley admins
tr2tion.
The charge has also been made by the
conservative washington Post that eX-
travagance and fraudulent transactions
have been discovered in the Washington
city postofice in its dealing with Porto
Rico postal finances, and that a shortage
of some $30, 900 is known. The Post offers
to produce witnesses to prove all it says
and challenges the postmaster general to
investigate.
Verify, the present administration will
go down to history as the most corrupt

THE POETS LAY.

He that has slipped from the honey-cell,
o listen him. and wish him well!
His are the thoughts that live with roses,
With cloud-Shapes where the sun-gate
closes;
The glintings through green summer
leaves
Are in the measures that he weaves;
Ihere all the secrets murmured, purled
By brooks, or in the rosebud curled,
Or in the winds O the nesting tree
Not sleep can keep from melody
Light fancy has he, frail and fair,
Like the orchid. rooted in the air;
And yet so searching is his art.
Gray earth grows happy at her heart,
And woEders he, the while he sings
At strangest bright eternal things.
The accent Is not all his own,
Betimes the ged sings on alone.

Whatever of surprise the postal scan
dals may have caused in Washington,
they certainly need not have caused any
In Chicago. Barely two years have pass
ed since indispntabIe evidence of gross
Irregularities in the postal inspectors Of
flee in this citydwas brought TO the post
master generals direct notice. That evi-
dence utterly failed to impress Mr. Smith
with the propriety of disciplinary action
on his part. In fact, it actually moved
him to deny publicly that it existed.
The proof of neg, igerce, Incompetence,
corruption and coIlusion with blackmai!-
ers was fastened upon a branch of the
postal service in this city. 1t was fast
ened there by special representatives of
Mr.. Smiths department, ard was report
ed to him i'll full. Net this eminent re-
former remained utterly calm and indif-
ferent. He countepanced the abuses in
question rather than risk the publicity
of remedying thenl3 Remembrance Of
this incident alone, if there were no 9th
ers, would suffice to prepare the ordi-
nary observer of department work for
looseness and corruption in other branch
es of the postal service. A department
that permits abuses because it fears the
political effect of stopping them can
never be more than a home of incompe-
tence and a nursery of scandal.
There is no inherent reason for laXness
or nalfeasance in the postofTice depart
ment. This IS national institution
whose name has been synonymous for
years with system good order, efficiency
and honest administration. Only conspic-
uous neglect or incompetence in its man
agement could have led so suddenly TO
the present scandaIous conditions.
1t is unfortunate that the revelation in
Cuba and Washington should annoy the
president and the Republicans in con-
gress, but it is still more unfortunate
that this annoyance did not come to a
head months ago, and in such manner
as to preclude the possibility of Mr.
Smiths doing further damage tC his
party and his country
