The dealli of Judge Orefllmin bns rerj
naturally revived the stories that lnu
been alloat some yearn ago concernliu
the relations of ex-rrcsldent Ilarrlsoi
and Judge fjrcsham and thenlleget
disappointment of Judge Oresham ovei
his failure to be appointed to the mi
prcme- bench of the Tnited States dur
Ing Harrison's Incumbency of the presl
dentlal chair. Among the newspaper :
that have ventured to revive this sub
Ject Is the Brooklyn Kagle. which nftui
dwelling at length upon the divergeiici
between Harrison and Orcsliam and tin
hitter's low tariff views Indulges In tin
following editorial comment :
There ID another matter with relation t
Judge Grcshnm which sliouhl bo cleared Uf
GeneralIIarrlfon when president wa.i repeatedly
(
peatodly charRcil and since he left the oftlc
has been often charged with having decllnec
to make Judge Oresbrm' a member of th
supreme court of the United States bncaus
their personal relations liaJ' ' become strained
Their i-ersonal relations were strained. Th
fact , however , was not the reason why Presl
dent Harrison did not place Mr. Graham 01
the supreme bench , so tar as Mr. Uarrlso :
himself was aware ot the Influence * whic
restrained him from doing so. He desire
to appoint him to that position both In spit
of and because of the fact that their persona
relations were not friendly. He coveted
legitimately enough , the encomium such a
act would command. He recognized , legltl
mately enough , the healing political consequence
quence of the act , but he addressed hlmsol
to a careful study ot Judge Orcsham *
opinions and of Judije Gresbam's actions , am
while ho found In both much that was admlr
able and attractive ho also found to his ow
satisfaction that the JtiJgo's mind was no
of a judicial cast. He therefore omlttc
to appoint him , conscientiously , knowing tha
his omission would bo unjustly Imputed t
the smallness and bitterness ot personal feel
Ing , yet prepared to bear that wrongful ac
cusatlon , as he has , In silence.
The Kaglo knows that the statements her
made with reference to both these men ar
truo. The justice of publishing them at thl
time la apparent and we hope our conternpo
rarles will realize this fact.
In Justice to the late secretary estate
state , as well as to the ex-president , Tin
Bee feels constrained to give publicity
to a letter written by Judge Greshaii
just two weeks before Harrison's tern
expired :
CHAMBKnS OP THE CmCUIT JUDG1
0V THE UNITED STATES , CHICAGO , Pel
17 , 1893. E. Rosewater , Esfj : My Dear Sir-
Allow me to thank you for your letter of th
15th. I assure you that I appreciate th
kindness. The enclosed matter is pure fat
rlcatlon and I shall do nothing to proven
its publication. If any one asked the presl
dent to appoint mo supreme judge It wa
done without my knowledge or conscn
Friends dIJ cxprc-'s a willingness and dcslr
to present my name for the culce , but I tel
them they could not do It. I have requoste
no favors of Mr. Harrison. Again thankln
you. Very truly yours ,
\V. Q. GHESHAM.
This letter clearly shows that Judg
Gresham had neither asked or expectci
the appointment to a vacancy on th
supreme bench at the hands or Tresl
dent Harrison. On the other hand w
doubt exceedingly whether Presldeu
Harrison ever expressed the oplnloi
that Judge drcshnm's mind was not o
a judicial cast , although he may hav
had excellent reasons for lining the v i
cancy on the bench with another man.

The general conference of the Munlcl
pal League of the United States , whicl
has been In session at Cleveland for th
past , two days , Is attracting wide ntteii
tion through the Instructive dlscussloi
of the progress which municipal refori :
has made and the remedies dceinei
essential for securing honest and elll
cleut municipal governments for on
cities. The-consensus of opinion amen
the men who have been in position t
observe the defects In tne governmen
of American cities and study the prol :
lems with which municipal reformer
must grapple Is that home rule fo
cities presents the true solution of th
problem.
President Carter of the National Mil
ulclpal league very pointedly said in hi
opening address : "I believe that th
best and , Indeed , the only remedy fo
our municipal Ills lies in asserting tb
plain and simple doctrine that municl
pal administration is no proper concer ;
of the national and state parties am
they should not in any manner Intel
fere with It. " In substance Mr. Carte
declared himself In favor of home ml
and Incidentally he denounced the pros
eut methods of having city charter
made merchandise for legislators froi
rural districts , who know absolute ! ;
nothing about the wants of cities am
are for the most part Influenced by th
corporate lobby to frame the charter
for the promotion of the cuds o
schemers for Individual or corporat
gain.
gain.Mr.
Mr. Carter's views have been sul
stautlally reiterated by representative
from all the cities In the discussion o
the evils from which taxpayers am
law-abiding citizens are constantl ,
suffering. All that has been said con
ceruiug the pernicious mutilation o
charters by venal and Ignorant leglsln
tors has time and again been polntei
out by this paper during every legi *
latlvc session. All that has been sali
In favor of home rule as the * most effect
Ive check to these periodic consplr.i
cles between boodlers In and out of tb
legl.slature simply emphasizes the cot
rectness of the conclusions which Th
Bee had reached years ago. Home ml
for cities nniht be the keynote of al
municipal reform. Kvery city of eve
10,000 population should have the rlgli
to formulate Its charter through resl
dent freeholders and have that chart ?
ratltlcd by Its citizens at the polls
This Is by no means a visionary schem
oC reform. It has been engrafted inti
the statutes of Missouri and Callfornh
and Is embodied in the organic law o
the state of Washington. The city o
St. Louis has enjoyed the benellts o
homo rule for some years past and ICan
sas City is about to make importan
amendments to her charter. Thesi
amendments were framed u nil or th
statutes of Missouri by freeholder
chosen for this pnrtxwe- . and If ratlilei
by the voters of Kansas City at i
special ulectlou which Is ti > be held dm
Ing the coming month they will becom
part of heV charter and go Into offer
at a ll.\ed lime. The city of San l-'ran
t-Hco framed a m Tr charter through i
freeholders cimnnUtoo List wln'er , am
after full discussion It was Kiilmill
ted for popular ralltleatlmi. Han l-'ran
cisco did cot becurc bwuc rule wltuou
a fierce and desperate struggle botweei
the mass of her citizens and the fran
chlsed bcnetlclnrlcs of special prlvllegt
with their retinue of paid henchmei
nnd boodle politicians and their subsl
dlzed organs. These cohorts were over
come only after public sentiment lnu
la'cn aroused and the masses organlziM
themselves icgardlcss of party for tin
supreme struggle that gave them tin
right to govern themselves.
Omaha can never hope to secun
thorough municipal reform until lionii
rule for cities Is engrafted Into on ;
constitution and statutes. When tin
effort was made last winter to secnn
snch an amendment to the constltutloi
It met with very little encouragemen
at the hands of the npresentatlves o
this city. Like the charter Itself It win
sandbagged by the corporate lobby wltl
the undisguised approval of a iuajorlt :
of the men who were presumed to rep
resent their constituents , but In reallt :
had only ears for the wishes ot cor
porate managers and their stool pigeons
If we are to have home rule fo
Omaha through the next legislature tin
light will have to begin this year. Tin
people will have to bo educated to tin
necessity of municipal self-governinen
and they can only Impress tlieinselvei
upon the next legislature by administer
Ing a rebuke to the machine and tin
gang that sends men to the legislatun
who hold up their hands to high heavei
that they will not sell their votes ant
come home perjured and besmirched al
over with corruption nhd bribery.

The New York Sun having been askot
Its opinion regarding the report tha
President Cleveland seeks another nom
Inatlon replied that It believed he ii
now a candidate for a third term am
that his present political inaiicuverlni
Is shaped with n view to that end. I
seems that such an opinion also prevail ;
at Washington. A prominent otllo
holder there is quoted as saying that In
had no doubt Mr. Cleveland Is a candl
date for renomlnatlon , remarking tha
his entire policy appears to be dlrectot
to that end. Senator Morgan , In com
mentlng upon the report , said In
thought Mr. Cleveland must have toi
much respect for the example of Wash
Ington , too vivid a recollection of tin
fate of the third term movement in tin
case of General Grant , If not a recollec
tlon of his self-denying , protestation
even as to a second term , to venture on
for a third term. But Mr. Cleveland , I
he really desires another nomination , 1
not likely to be Inlluenced by any o
these considerations. With unboundei
contldence In himself , he does not lool
elsewhere for counsel as to his polltlca
ambition or his political methods.
It was stated some months ago , upoi
what was said to be the highest author
Ity , that Mr. Cleveland's political ainbl
tlon bad been fully satisfied and that b
would"heartily welcome a return to pri
vate life at the close of his presen
term. It Is remembered , however , tha
when Hrst elected he protested that h
would npt seek a second term , yet in
one ever worked harder than lu ; for11
renqmluation. It is by no means Im
probable that now , as Mr. Dana says
"the- ambition to procure for himself ai
honor which Washington refused , am
which has been within the reach of in
president since AVasblngtoii , Is llrml ;
tlxed In his mind. " That It Is a legitl
mate ambition will , perhaps , hardly b
denied , and In view of the present con
dltlon of the democratic party Mt
Cleveland may feel that it Is his dut ;
to continue In the leadership and en
deavor to restore the party to Its forme
standing. Bent by faction , divided 01
every living Issue , a majority of tit
party gone far astray from Its old-tlm
principles , It la not dltlicult to bellev <
that Mr. Cleveland , who has twice le <
It to victory In national contests , nov
thinks that he Is necessary to save 1
from utter destruction.
If'Mr. Cleveland Is really seeking i
fourth nomination there Is reason t
believe that ho can make a very stroiij
showing In the next democratic natlona
convention. The party Is exceeding ! ;
poor In available men for presldentla
candidates. No one among the few win
can be regarded as possibilities wonh
probably be as strong before the peopl
as Mr. Cleveland. David B. Hill cer
talnly would ryit , nor would William C
Whitney. Vice President Stevenson ha
developed no popularity. There la in
western democrat who could carry hi
own state. A southern man is out o
the question. Mr. Cleveland Is still pop
nlar with the eastern democrats and In
has many friends In the south. We cai
think of no one who would bo likely ti
get a larger vote that he In the west
Putting these things together It Is plali
that If Mr. Cleveland seeks anothe
nomination ho can show very good rea
sons why be should have It. But as ti
a third term that Is another matter. A
Mr. Dana most wisely says , that Is no
a possibility of the situation.

The advocates of free and uallinltci

by the United States are Just nov
adopting a new tack. Knowing tha
the conservative common people cai
never be won over to a scheme HI
hazardous as the one which they pro
pose , they are trying to create the Im
presslon that there Is no possibility o
ever securing action on the monetary
question by International agreement
either In the near future or at any remoter

presses himself as the least dnnbtfu
as to the snccossful outcome of th <

This effort on the part of the fret

vision IT a confession that as agalns :

The magnanimity of the loyal pee
pie of the United States toward thorn
who sought to dismember the union
and establish a government whlcl
should perpetuate the Institution ol
slavery commanded the admiration ol
the world. It was unexampled in al
history. After four years of cruel am
most destructive war , costing the live ;
of hundreds of thousands- loyal ami
patriotic men and billions of money
those who waged U against the goV'
eminent were allowed to return to theh
homes and resume their peaceful duties
No leader In the rebellion was punlshei
for his treason , even the arch rebel
Jefferson Davis , who to the end of hi.
life believed that the attempt to destroj
the union was a just and righteous
cause , suffering no worse punishment
than conlluemcnt at Fortress Monroi
for a couple of years pending decisior
of the .question whether he should bi
tried for treason. Within live yean
after the war , all the rebellious states
wore restored to their former posltlor
and their citizens were exercising al
the rights and privileges enjoyed by clti
zeiis of the loyal states.
But while the loyal men of the uatloi
were thus magnanimous , while thej
were ready to forgive treason and re
belllon and willing to renew fraterua
relations witli those who bad sought t (
disrupt the union , they none the lest
believed that In rebelling against tin
government the south committed a grea
crime and that every man rcsponslblt
for bringing on and maintaining the re
belllon was -traitor. . That opluloi
every man living who contributed , Ii
whatever way , toward the prcsorvatloi
of the union , believes today. The mei
who were loyal to the government It
the terrible struggle for Its preservatloi
still think that Lincoln and Grant ant
the other defenders of the union wen
absolutely right and that Davis ant
Lee and the othei ; organizers and lead
ere of the rebellion were ab-tolntel :
wrong. It Is not . 'surprising that thosi
who hold this opinion should resent
with some degree ' of Indignation , an :
attempt , with whatever plausible pretext
text , to elevate the leaders of rebellloi
to an equal plaeij In the popular at
tentlon with tlie defenders of the union
and that they 'sholild feel that the ten
dency of evony snch thing Is to dis
courage loyalty and patriotism.
The dedication at Chicago on Momor
lal day of a njpnupient to the coufodor
ate- soldiers : who tiled In the rfedera
prison at Fort'Do'uglas'afforded oppor
tnnity for a voluminous expression o
friendly sentiment toward the south
ern people , of admiration for the valoi
of southern soldiers , and of enlogistii
reference to some who worts consplcu
ous In the rebellion. Some of this then
Is no objection to. It Is well to cultl
vate a spirit of friendliness betweei
the people of the north and south am
no one will question the courage of tin
soldiers of the ( Confederacy. But s <
much of these expressions as offer ;
any palliation for rebellion or seeks t <
mitigate the criminality of those wht
voluntarily and deliberately went lnt <
the war against the union must b <
condemned as evil In Its tendency am
an Injustice to all who fought to preserve
servo the union ! One side only couh
have- been right In that conflict. Tha
side , the people of the north believe
was victorious. This view It Is in tin
Interest of loyalty and patriotism t (
maintain , and whatever militate )
against It , It Is the duty of every loya
citizen to discountenance.
Mr. Bryan reprints hfs Memorial daj
speech delivered at Arlington a yeai

Bryan wants it to be known that then

to what he said. Ills neglect to reply tc
the open letters since addressed to hln

The fact that the president a year age

It docs not seem possible that Japan wll

the loss of everything she has. fought for

only serious hindrances to this result cotnlnp

trick Is an old one ; Hussln tried It in tin

The victory of tha moderate liberals at UK
parliamentary elections In Italy appear to b <
complete. Tha parties In Italy may b :
roughly classified as moderate liberals , radi
cals nnd conservatives. The policy of ths
Vatican has been unwavering In Its Influence
upon the friends of the clericals to talc ; ; nc
part In the elections. Premier Crlspl , how.
ever , has been making strenuous efforts
largely through the good olHces of his friend
Cardinal Hohenlohe , to conciliate those Cath
olics who still adhere to the cause of the
pope's temporal power. His rallying crj
of "With Oed and the King f&r the Father
land , " whllo It has incensed the Infidel am
revolutionary radicals , has evidently had It :
effect In drawing to the polls , as supporters o !
the administration , many Catholics who couli
not be brought heretofore to exercise theli
right of franchise. The new Chamber o ;
Deputies will stand almost two to one ir
support of the moderate liberals , classing tin
distinctly clerical and aristocratic clcmeiv
as joining with the radicals In opposition
The new administration will doubtless have
plain sailing for the immediate future , Im
the factors In Italian politics arc so com
plicated. Involved as they are with the con
stant friction between the Qulrlnal and thi
Vatican , that any administration Is pecu
llarly liable to meet with sudden crises.

past year , the railroads are allowed a reduc

" Mlnden Courier : Dr. Hay has been at the
public crib for many years. He haa been or
dered out by the governor , a process that haa
heretofore been considered regular ; he has
been tried and ordered out for cause , and now
holds his office by virtue of dilatory and
prejudiced courts. There Is a lesson In this ,
All fair-minded people denounce Dr. Hay ,
Why ? Because his actions are Irregular , dis
honest and without reason or precedent.
