iectionable for. political reasons,
earned additional opposition by being
the first cabinets member to set up q
carriage at government expense He
was known in Nv ashington as " Landau
let' Williams. Grant named another
man for the bench who had been at
torney general, aud Hho was rejected
by the senate. That was Caleb Cush-
ing of Massachusetts,. who was attorney
general under President Pierce, but
that latter fact alone is enough to ex-
plain the political reasons for his fail
ure to find favor with the senate in
Grant 8 time.
But if :precedents are to rule in Mr..
Moody's case, it is only necessary. in
order to refute the Morgan organ IS
article, to go a little further in that
direction than, the Morgan orpan
chose to 60. President jackson ap-
pointed r. ", fancy of MARYLAND chief
justice while the latter was attorney
general, and the senate did not hest
tate to confirm the nomination. Neither
did the United States s suffer any catas-
trophe by reason Of Taney's inability
to sit in all the cases coming before
the court.
- Clifford as Example.
President Polk named Nathan Cliff
ford of Maine as the man he would
like to see promoted from the attorney
generalshiP to a seat on the supreme
bench, and the senate conceded, and
there is no record that this transaction
ever cost the government any untold
millions, such as the Morgan organ
says Mocdy's appointment would cost.
President Mckinley, within the memory
of even the most prejudiced opponent
OF the square deal, took Joseph McKen-
ma of California from the attorney
generals office and nominated him for
supreme court, and the senate confirmed
him without evidence of CONSERVATION
on the part of anyone, nor the express
sion of fear by any trust organ that
the United States would lose money.
1t is a little singular, anyhow. that
the Morgan organ should be SO appre-
henslve OF government loss in this
matter when, as an intelligent member
tof society, it must know that the
United States can well afford to lose
a few millions, if it has to, every time
it can succeed in getting so superb a
lawyer and such an honest and infiexible
advocate of even and exact Justice as
Mr.. Moody to accept a place as one
Of the judges Of the court of last re-
sort in this trust-ridden country of ours.
Indeed, there is a well-defned suspi-
clon that the tears that are being shed
over the Moody. appointment, if anal
yzed, would be found to emanate from
a well which bleeds only. when other
golfers, quite distinct from your Uncle
Sam g, are believed to be in danger.
A number Of candidates for the SUI
preme bench have been rejected by the
senate in times gone by. Even Wash
ington failed to seat one of his nomi-
nnees-,John Rutledge. And Grover
Cleveland ran athwart David B. Hill
with both William B. Hornblower and
Wheeler H. Peckham and lost out. But
there never has been case before this
when 50 ill-concealed motive brought
forward SO preposterous an argument
as that advanced against Attorney
General Moody. Fear of exact Justice
appears sometimes to conduce to aber-
ration of the mind. -

FRENCH CHURCHES YIELD
Firm Attitude Of Government Ha.
Calming Effect.

Paris, Nov. 22.-Nine hundred addi-
tional inventories Of church property
were made yesterday, leaving 100
outstanding in eighteen departments.
The determination of the government
to apply the law no matter what oppo-
sition shall be offered has had calm
ing effect and threatened sanguinary
conflicts did not occur.
Resistance to the order was aug
mented in the heart of Brittany, how
ever, and there were several collisions
and cavalry charges, notably at Loo
maria, where number Of soldiers and
policemen were, injured, and at Quer-
rien, where entrance to the village was
barricaded and 500 inhabitants, armed
with clubs and pitchforks, attacked
the troops. A number of persons were
injured and many arrests were made.
In most instances, however, resist
ance was confined to reading protests
before the barred doors of churches,
which were burst open by the officials.
Two clergymen were today sentenced
to Imprisonment on charges of using
violence against the officials.

SEEKS TO ARREST
M0ODY's ADVANCE
New York Sun Opens Campaign
to Prevent Attorney Gen
erals Rise to Bench.
BY w. w. Jermane, Colorado Building,
WASHINGTON, D. c. D." -=| ~. -.

Washington, Nov 22-The first in
dication ofan attempt to build up a case
for the defeat of Attorney General
Moody's confirmation as a justice of
the supreme court of the United States
appeared in the Morgan organ, the New
York Sun, and its allies turnout the
country last Saturday. It was in the
form Of column article prepared with
evident care and bearing traces of the
deft touch of skilled lawyer. It's
unGoubted purpose was to give such
members of the United States senate
as may be hostile to Mr.. Roosevelt and
his gospel of the square-deal ground
upon which to stand in opposing the
confirmation of Mr.. Moody.
The ingenious sophister who prepared
it erects set of circumstances to suit
himself, and standing thereon, he dem
onstrates to the satisfaction Of all who
are willing to accept his point of view
that it would be crushing blow to the
country to have Mr.. Moody take seat
upon the supreme bench at this time.
He cites western irrigation case in
which the United States INTERVIEWED, the
legacy tax case, the Cramp shipbuilding
case, the sugar trust case, the Kansas
land case, the John F. Gaynor bond
case, the case Of alleged contempt of
the supreme court coming from the
Chattanooga district, the case involv-
Ing the ownership of the Isle of Pines,
the Cuban customs case, the Standard
Oil cases, the many rebate cases, the
Fertilizer trust cases, the land fraud
cases and others. These cases, he says,
will all be before the supreme court
presently, some of them being there al
ready and only waiting for hearing
until Justice Brown g seat is filed in
order that they may be submitted be-
fore full bench. But Attorney Gen
eral Moody, he holds, cannot participate
In hearing them because he has been
the head of the department of Justice,
and therefore actively interested in
them. =

sense of modesty-is that the Morgan
anthracite trust case is also likely to
come before the supreme court, while
Mr.. Moody is a member of it, if he is
confirmed. The rule forbidding Mr..
Moody, as "a judge, to participate in any
j cases arising during his incumbency as
attorney general, in which he has taken
any part whatever, is acknowledged to
be unwritten, but it is described as ex-
tremely rigid, nevertheless. And thus,
having barred him out of them, the ar
number of millions the United States
will or may lose by reason of having
certain of the cases heard by court
having ouly eight of it's nine members
in action. No reference is made to the
sum tho trusts may lose thru Mr.
Moody's presence on the bench.
1t is all clever. And the article would
doubtless serve admirably as defense
for any senator who might desire to op-
pose Mr.. Moody, provided he could in.
duce his constituents to accept it. But
the trouble with the article is that it is
not true. 1t has enough truth in it to
make it appear plausible, but not
enough to enable it to bear dissection.
For instance, it is true that no justice
of the supreme court has ever sat in a
case in which he had an interest such
as having intimate relations with one
of the litigants by way of family or
business or other reasons. But it is
also true that SO eminent lawyer and
high-minded gentleman as Mr.. Moody
would be scrupulous in his care not to
take part in Judging cases which he
could not approach with a perfectly
open mind. -,
Other attorney generals have passed
from that office to the. supreme bench
and have obeyed this rule to the finest
point Of nicely, and no one denies that
Mr.. Moody would do likewise. The fall
lacy of the article lies in the apparent
attempt to create the impression that
Moody could not join in hearing any of
the cases in which the United States is
IA party arising during his term as attor-
ney general.
): Had No Personal Connection.
AS a matter of fact it is doubtful if
there are half dozen cases on the
road to the supreme court in which he
has had that active. personal participa-
ton which would bias his mind. The
Standard Oil case, the big one started
Thursday for the dissolution of that
monopoly, has received his personal at
tention, and if it came to the supreme
court he would doubtless decline to join
in hearing it.
But it must be remembered that this
case would not be started if it did not
appear to be a clear and fragrant one.
Hence a verdict for the people may con-
fidently be expected in the lower court.
If that should be the case the Standard
might appeal, but if it did and the

Made First Hooks and Eyes.
From the New York Herald.

The first person in the United States to
manufacture hooks and eyes for garments,
and also the first to work upon wedding and
invitation cards, Mrs Harriet E. Kennedy,
celebrated this week her ninety third birth
day. She is a native of Charlestown,
Mass, and the daughter of an officer of
the frigate Constitution. Early in life she
taught school, after which she began the
manufacture of children fancy shoes and
iron watch chains.
'I was working for man named
Hatch, said Mrs. Kennedy, ''and during
my spare time labored on ball dress upon
which there were some hooks and eyes
made in France l obtained piece of
wire and succeeded in making them as
good as the imported article. The next
day when Mr.. Hatch came in I told him
| could manufacture the hooks and eyes
fully as well as those coming from France.
The devil you can, he said
81 made some for him, and he had
machine made to manufacture them. He
was soon employing large roomful of girls
and made money fast, while I, who had
discovered the secret, was placed in charge
of the room and given the princely salary of
81 week.
