The Local Judicial Vacancy.

Many times during the past summer the
District has Indicated its reasonable desire
that an appointment be promptly made to
fill the vacancy caused by the retirement of
Justice Hagner of the District Supreme
Court He gave notice as early April
of his intention to res gn from the bench.
and so the appointment has been pend ng
In reality for six months and half even
though he did not actually leave the bench
until May 81. From time to time dur
ing these months an intimation has been
gwen in the course of the discussion of the
matter that an appointment would not be
made until after the November election.
Thus the local judgeship has been relegated.
in the gossip concerning cand dates, to the
limbo of the ordinary political selections
The District hopes that the President has
not so regarded the case. This judgeshp is
not similar to departmental position, the
appointment to which is often dictated in
part by political considerations. A vacancy
in such d place can in many cases be left
open indefinitely without seriously injuring
the public service. for the work of the de-
partment goes on as usual without refer
ence to the personality of the incumbent
finally chosen. This is judicial place. and
the District sadly needs the services of the
successor to Judge Hagner. The court
calendars are now seriously overcrowded.
Many important cases are awaiting settle
ment The court bears vitality on the i'm
mediate interests of the community. In
this jurisdiction 1t directly affects as well
the interests of the government itself In
few weeks it will be conspicuously in evil
dence in the trial of the postal fraud cases,
of great national Importance.
Other federal judges invariably ap-
pointed from within the districts covered
by their Jurisdiction. 1t may be questioned
whether selections for vacancies in such
cases are ever delayed as long in this
instance. These judges paid out of the
federal revenue. In the District the federal
judges are paid half out of the local tax
revenues, and only one-half of them are
chosen from among the residents of the
jurisd ction. Such appointments are given
to the District rather as concession than
as right. Meanwhile. the District, thus
paying half the cost of maintaining the
federal bench in this jurisdiction. con-
tributes in national taxes to the expenses of
the federal circuits elsewhere.
If the delay in the appointment were
brought about by a thoughtful considera-
ton of the relative merits of local candi-
dates for the position, the postponement
would be readily understood. But If in this
case 1t is assumed that no local man is to
be appointed, and the delay which Is injur
ing the District is caused mainly by the
contest between the political influences in
favor of rival aspirants for the judgeship.
and by the resultant hesitation of the Presi-
dent to appoint until a political emergency
has passed. the failure to fill the vacancy
would appear to be unreasonable and in

Mgr. Merry del Val.

The choice of Mgr Merry del Val for
secretary of state by Plus X is a recogni-
ton by the new pontif of the great need
in that office of trained diplomat. The
pope himself has had no experience in that
line as had his predecessor while the man
he has selected TO serve him possesses tai
ents similar to those of Cardinal Rampolla.
who served Leo XIII so very well. The
new official executed one of his most diff
cult commissions as diplomat in Canada,
and was mentioned as the successor of
Cardinal Martinelli in the post of apostolic
delegate at this capital. He knows the his
tory of his church in the United States, and
is accredited with warm sympathy for
the Institutions and admiration for the
progress of the governments of the English
speaking race.

The Long Bridge Break.

Washington mas 1or years expected lust
such an accident on the Long bridge as that
which occurred last night. The weakness
of the structure has been notorious for a
generation. Part Of the time the people
have prayed that the rotten, river-blocHing
bridse-dam might be swept away by the
spring freshetS without loss of life. and
again they have prayed that it might be
spared until replaced by u substantial new
structure But always there has been a
haunting dread lest some dar a train would
go through the bridge, carrying scores to
death
1t is little short of a miracle that such an
accident did not occur last night Ordinari
ly the breaking of a span in this manner
would precipitate the greater part Of a train
into the river. Had the express been run
ming just little faster nothing could nave
prevented a horrible disaster AS it was
only the breaking Of the couplings saved the
locomotive and its crew from being drag
ced down.
This accident illustrates the exceptionally
good luck of the communities and the rail-
road companies which the bridge has so
badly served for so many years 1t is a
pity it did not come some years earlier so
that it might have fastened the decision to
construct a new bridge. But it is now a
striking commentary that this partially
wrecked causeway. with the signs of
marvelously narrow escape from an appaI-
ling catastrophe. lies within stones throw
OF its SUCCESSOR which is progressing to-
ward completion. If anything were needed
to hasten the work on the new bridge this
accident should supply the lack.

Douglas Island news., 1903-04-15

The Russian New Years Day, says a correspondent of the Valdez Prospec- tor writing from Afognak, was observed by the fireing of shotguns and rifles, as usual trying to outdo the celebration of American New Years Day by white men. On the sixth of January Gold style) Jordan was erected from spruce branches, on the lake where the priest blessed the water. During the per formauce about half dozen natives were firing at intervals with big charges of powder from shotguns, making terrible noise, presumably to frighten away the evil spirits. After the successful transformation of swamp water into holy water, the sup. ply of it was replenished by thought ful natives for year. By natives the holy water is kept in their houses, and while travelling have it along in vials, and believe it is beneficial in emergen- cies to take in small doses internally, or apply externally. The holidays with their merry making were passed without any notable event, but it was not so last winter. When the newly appointed priest-a young lad, and a prig full of chimerical ambitions-ou Christmas day met on the road a re- spected native, MT. M. T., full of joy and happy in spirit, was celebrating the holiday as true son of the Rus sian church; but to the super-mundane Rev. Father the celebration of it ap- peared obscene, and he undertook to correct it there and then in terrest rial manner by striking with his hand, his wide sleeves flying, the face of Mir. MT. And now he is waiting for pro- motion. The Rev. Father made great mistake in the selection of his present profession; but even now, if he would aquaint himself with Queensbery rules, and after training, would undoubtedly make an interesting go with some Ike, the Cory Boots, or Mysterious Cyclone Eater.

The Hand of Fate.
(Nome News.)

If the dread finger of fate ever pointed at the destruction of a race It is pointing toward the abysm at the end of the Eskimos' earthly career. Their many tribes have dwindled to a few, and they are scattered ip small villages in scant numbers, which do not deserve the name of tribe. Every few years they are scourged with dis ease. which has been known to wipe out a village, and frequently to Kill one-half or one-third of the natives of a community Nearly all of them are affected with tuberculosis, and the sight of an old Eskimo Is rare. The heavy hand of Karma is upon them.
 This season it seems that the natural process of disease is too slow to satisfy the memorable demands of some law we do not understand, and tragedies have marked the exit from this life of a number of Eskimos. The white mans whiskey has caused the shooting and killing of one native and the wounding of two more. The murder ous Eskimo is in jail, waiting the de- cree of the court. Death by freezing is rare among the natives. Born in bleak, inhospitable land, and inured to hardships from childhood, inheriting resistance to cold from an ancestry that reaches back into the legendary past. they seldom succumb to the ln- tense cold and terrible blizzards of the country. But this season Eskimos have been frozen to death. Freezing and burning represent the extremes by which death sometimes overtakes mem bers of the human family, and fate has been playing the limit with the Eskimo. It is not enough that he should die from natural causes, by the hand of the "hootch" crazed murderer and become burned to death. A child at Port Safety was dropped on red hot stove by drunken parents and the life roast ed out of it. The gruesome spectacle at the Holy Cross hospital last Thurs day afternoon, where one by one eight natives were brought in horribly burn ed, some of them unconscious, is peep at the last tragedy among these poor people.
 For much of their overwhelming misfortunes interruptions white men are to blame. Whiskey is the main cause of their demorilization, Whiskey, whiskey, what crimes have not been laid at your door? If the philosophy be true that the human family must suffer for the sins of its deprayed mem bers, the people of Alaska will have much to account for because of the in- nate cussedness of the vile wretches that sell whiskey to Eskimos.
