.MATTHEWS CONFIRMED.
The confirmation of Stanley Hat-
thews as associate justice of the
supreme court is an outrage upon the
intelligence of the American republic
and a serious Wow to the dignity and
respect of the "United States senate.
From the moment of his nomination
by President Garfield , the press of the
country lias been practically unanimous
against his confirmation. Bodies
representing nine-tenths of our
national commerce have protested
against the acceptance of his name ,
and every citizen who earnestly de
sired the maintenance of the supreme
Bunch above suspicion of reproach ,
has joined iij expostulating against
the crime which was about to be per
petrated in the name of equity and
justice.
Notwithstanding these practically
unanimous protests from the pcoplu
of the United States , in the face of an
overwhelming adverse report from the
committee on judiciary of the senate ,
that body has by a majorityof one
vote confirmed the nomination
and Stanley Matthews lias been ele
vated to a life position , for wliich he
is both i > craonally and professionally
entirely unfitted.
The grounds of objection to
Mr. Matthews' appointment were
forcible and sonnd. Ho had
been a professional politician , who
had been connected with a number of
dirty jobs , which entirely unfitted
him for wearing the judicial ermine.
Personally , he was known to be
a man of strong prejudices ,
a partisan on every question in
which he interested himself } and
entirely lacking in that judicial bal
ance of mind which should bo a pre-
requibitc to judicial advancement and
authority. More than all , he had ex
pressed himself professionally as
strongly opposed to the views held by
the supreme court on important ques
tions of public policy and constitu
tional interpretation and was known
to entertain settled convictions
UJKJII controversies which must
sooner or later he brought before that
lx > dy for final adjudication. From
the very -outset of his professional
career he has boon a champion of the
monopolies and a paid attorney of the
coqx > rations. His views upon the re
lations of the railroads and the pcoplu
were well known and his nomination
was openly acceptible to the railroad
lobbyatAVasliington. Ko man more
unfit for a position in which lie must
soon bo onllcd ujwii to 'pass judgment
upon this great and pressing question
of the day could have IMJCII selected by
President Garfiuld than Stanley Mat
thews. And in confirming his nomi
nation the senate lias tlung defiance in
the teeth of the American people and
seriously weakened the respect in
which they have been held by the t
citizens of the republic. "
CALIFOKMA is jubilant over the rat
ification of the Chinese treaties. Of
course the immigration treaty is the
one in which the Pacific coast takes
the most interest , as it provides a E
remedy for the hordes of coolies
which now so seriously disturb tlio la
bor market on the slope. Under the
immigration treaty , Chinese subjects b
may come to the United States as
teachers , together with their servants ; al
and Chinese laborers who are now in alti
the United States will be allowed to ti
come and go of their own free will
and accord , and must be accorded the
BJimo privileges extended to the sub li
jects of the most favored nations.
Congress is given the right to regulate ,
limit or suspend the coming of labor
ers to the United States , as well as
their residing here , whenever in tlie
opinion of the United States govern ti

There are men in the world , nnd

bushels ; Iowa , from 42,410,580 to
ir > ( > ,000,000 bushels ; Missouri , from
72,802,157 to 102.000,000 bushels ;
Kansas , from 0,150,727 to 08,000,000
bushels ; and Nebraska , from 1,482-
080 to 38,000,000. In 1877 the pro-
eluct of thoHo seVen states was nearly
850,000,000 busholsand , of all the rest
oi tlie Union only 41)4,558,000 ) bushels.
Mr. J. 11. Dodge , of the United State *
agricultural department , says that the
wheat surplus is produced entirely in
that portion < > f the country north and
west of the Ohio river , in the central
area lying between that river ami the
lakes , ami tlie Allegheny ami Rocky
mountain ranges , and in a smaller area
on the Pacific ce > aat. There has been
a great transfer e > f corn-production
from the south to the west , so much
so that , while in 18-10 fifteen southern
states produced 00 per cent , of the
corn product of the country , the whole
of the south now produces emly one-
third. . This change is partly eluo to
the increase in the eotdm product of
the south , but it is saiel that the south
may yet regain its supremacy in the
corn culture. It is a surprising , yet
authcnticatoel fact , that in fifteen
years the production of wheat and
barley in the United States has trubk-d ;
that of corn , ce > ttem ami tobacco has
more than doubled ; oats have increaseel
by two-thirds , potatoes have nearly
doubled , and hay has increased by
nearly one-third.
It may surprise many to find that
only about ! > per cent of the total Am
erican grain product , by bushels , is
exported. But this is an immense
item in the worlel'a markets , and , with
clieajHJiiing transportation , is capable
of being greatly increased. Of corn ,
as yet only about ( j\ per cent eif the
total product is exported , yet this is
nearly double what it was ten years
ago. Hut the figures as to the uxpor-
tationofbuconandpork.aro astounding.
In 1808 the exportation of bacon ami
hams only ainoimteel to 43G5'li4 , ( ! (
pounds , whereas in 1878 it had risen
to the enormous figure of 582,814,351
pounds ; pork had gemo up in the
same period from 28CIMiM ) , : pounds
to 71,880,335 and lard from
i-1,555,403 pounels to 342 , < i07 , ! > 20
ponnels. But in addition to this
the exportation of live stock across tho.
Atlantic has increased tenfold within
two years only. The cost of trans
porting live animals across the Atlan
tic is being rapidly reduced ; yet the
only hope for the British anel Rus
sian farmer is the high rates of tr.xns-
portatiem from the United Stales
ports , and the fact that the American
farmers , through bad farming , are
exhausting the soil. Such are the
present , arguments on this ejucstiem ;
but it is aflimiud that , in tlie area yet
to bo subdiicel between the Missouri
and the Pacific coast , the proportion
of the cultivated area devoted to
wheat will bo larger than in the terri
tory already occupied. When all
these available lands are taken up , and
population threatens to press upon
Hubsistenco , fertilization with rotation
will increase the rate of yiolel
aa has happened in the
most populous districts of Europe ) ,
nnel then the centre of wheat-produc
tion may possible recqelo slowly east
ward , obedient to the impulse of im
proved atrriculluro. With regard to
the "railway monopoly , " it is alleged
that this is not an obstacle as some
may imagine. Tlie western producers
nuinn that they will not give up the
battle until equitable anel ateaely rates
transportation are insured. As it is ,
luring the season of 1870 grain wis ;
ihippcel from Chicago to Liverpool for
cents per bushel , a rate but little
excess of that which prevailed feir
tlio transportation of grain from Buf-
Fiilo to New York by canal anel
the Hudson River ten years
go. Careful estimates show that
the United States is capable
maintaining an area of 200,000,000
wires e > f cereal land , which , with the
werago yiolel e > f the past ten years ,
would yiolel 5,250,000,000 bushels of
irain. Turning from corn and wheat
ration , it appears that the whulo
otton crop of the worlel ceiulel bo
raiseel in Texas , or could bo elivided
between any t\ve > of the other princi
pal cotton states , without exhausting
xny of their ge > od land. The agricul
tural proeluctivoncsB of America is
practically illimitable ; and when Iho

Senatorial Courtesy. Ai
at ( I
; o Tribune. atch
The "courtesy e > f the senate , " as chSO
jonstrued by the Cemklingites , is aim- SO
ly another phi.ioe : > f state-sovereignty ,
inel as such it woulel be illogical for
he republican jKirty to acquiesce in
, , even if there were no other eibjec-
ion to its eiperatiem. The republican
arty has made ita career upon the
basis of nationality. It has sustained <

iicnt tej exercise all the powers which
ire guaranlceel by the cem-
ititution - te > pass anel enforce
lational lawa , collect its revo-
iiies and protect ita citizens.
is somewhat late in the day for the
cpuhlicau ] nrty , or any1)ody who
re > fesses to bo geivenicel by its princi-
lca , to contend that in e > ne of the
ihicf functions of the national gov-
jrnment that of elraignaling its own
iflicers each anel every state shall in
urn have the right of veto. But this
rould bo precisely the practical effect
imposing the "courtesy of the
enato" upem the conduct of govern-
nent affairs ; for , under such a rule ,
man could appointed from Now
fork who was not acceptable to the
enatorial "ambassadors" from New
fork , nor from any other jtate with-
the advice and consent of ita spe-
ial "ambassadors. "
It is not likely that the republican
larty can be committed fo this new
ihase of state-sovereignty in emler to
Tatify the selfish and oflice-brokering
iropensitics of any cliepie ofmen who T
ion * happen to have placea in the L-ry .
Tinted States senate The repubUcan tie !
arty has administered the goveni- C
icnt moro than twenty years on the DL
and
rinciple of nationality , and during pri (
that period has successfully Conducted
a war against the partisans of the
vicious doctrine of state-sovereignty.
This party will not now assent tea
a revival of that doctrine in
one of its most contemptible phases.
The senate may exercise ita constitu
tional right of confirmation or rejec
tion of executive appointments as it
does now , or it may invite the presi
dent to bo present at the executive
sessions te > c.msult with it as a boely ,
but it will not bo able te > establish anel
enforce the rule that executive ap
pointments must in every case bo sub
ject to the approval or disapproval of
tlio trt-o senators from the state from
which auch nppotittniuiits1 shall bo
made ,
No one state , nor the twe > men who
profess to represent it next the exec
utive bt'anck Of tlie ? national geiycrn-
ment , has any color of claim to dictate
the designation of men who are to ael-
minister the laws fe > r the whele coun
try. The appointment of collecteir at
Now York city is a good instance in
iwint. That ellicer collects the duties
and enforces the laws pcrtniiiing to
his oilico not only for the people e > f
Now York , but fe > r the people e > f the
wheilo coilntiy. Why Mlioiild the two

TliB pt-oplo e f Illinois are oeiually re

with the people of New York. If ,
then , Messrs. Logan and D.ivis , the
Illidois senators , slumlel abdicate all
part in tlio coiiBtitutiemal duty of ael-
vlsing anel Consenting to the appoint

Messrs. Conkliug and Plait , Hie senate -

guilty of an offense against the cem-

establishing of such a pr.ielice Would
leave the citizens of this cetuntry mi
protection against state cliepies , and
the citizens of Illinois , Indiana or
Ohio woulet bo as helpless as any fejr-
oign subject in any national relatiem in
another state in the union. State
sovcrcignity has already made trouble
enough in this country withemt reviv
ing it in such a manner as to alleiw the
ruling clique of each slate to dictate
the choice of men who shall admin

ritory described by state boundaries.
