THE supnEsrn COURT
Another vacancy , the third within
two rears , has occurred in the bench of
the supreme court ot the United States
by the death of Justice Stanley
Matthews. Mr. Cleveland had the ap
pointment of two members of the court ,
n successor to Justice "Woods , who died
in 1887 , Justice I/xnmr having been ap
pointed to this vacancy , and a successor
to Chief Justice VValto , who died last
year , this vacancy having been filled by
the appointment of Chief Justice Fuller.
Under preceding republican adminis
trations Lincoln mndo flvo appointments
to the supreme bench. Grant four ,
Hayes two , and throe worn under the
Garflald-Arlhur administration , ono of
these being the late Stanley Matthews.
It is not improbable that President
Harrison will liavo several appoint
ments to the supreme bench. Under the
act ot Congress of 1809 , judges of any
of the courts of the United States nro
permitted to resign , with full salary for
life , after reaching the ago of seventy ,
provided they have served ton years
continuously. Throe of the justices nro
now eligible for retirement. Justice Mil
ler , who was appointed In 1802 , issovon-
ty-threo years old , and although in vig
orous health , with his splendid mental
faculties unimparcd , it has been under
stood that ho contemplated retirement
in order to pass the remaining years of
his life in the case and freedom which
his long and valuable service entitles
him to. Justine Field who was ap
pointed in 18G8 , is also seventy-three
years old , and is not unlikely to avail
himself of the privilege of retirement
during the term of the present adminis
tration , unless political considerations ,
ho being ono of the throe democrats of
the court , should influence him to
remain on the bench : Justice Brad
ley , who was appointed in 1870 ,
is the oldest member In the court ,
his ago being seventy-six. Ho is still
vigorous for his years , but his retire
ment within the next four yoara is alto
gether probable. Leaving out of con
sideration , therefore , possible vacancies
from death , it Is moro than likely Presi
dent Harrison may have to make four
supreme court appointments.
Regarding the vacancy caused by the'
death of Justice Matthews , there is rea
son to believe it may bo filled by the
appointment of Judge Grosham. There
have been intimations from trust
worthy sources at "Washington that the
president had assured Judge Gresham
'that ho would bo appointed to
the first vacancy that occurred in
the supreme bench , and while there
may have boon no substantial ground
for this report , there is nothing to ren
der such a selection improbable. Pres
ident Harrison undoubtedly has as high
appreciation as any ono of the ability
and integrity of Judge Gresham , and
there is not the slightest reason to sup
pose that their personal relations are
not of the most cordial character. The
entire course of the judge during the
last campaign was such as to commend
him moro strongly to the popular re
spect and confidence , and in this
President Harrison doubtless shares.
It demonstrated Judge Grosham's ele
vated sense of the character of
the judicial office , which under all cir-
cmnstances should bo kept aloof from
political controversy and conflict. There
was never a doubt or question as to
Judge Gresham's loyalty to his party
and its candidate , and doubtless no re
publican was moro gratified than ho at
the success of the party.
The appointment of Judge Gresham
to the supreme bench would give great
satisfaction to a largo majority of the
people. It would bo offensive only to
those who are not in sympathy wiUi the
rights ana interests of the people , and
therefore fear his integrity and up
rightness. His appointment would bean
an aquisition to the supreme bench and
a credit to the administration.
LATE JUSTICE MATTUEIVS.
The death of Justice Stanley Mat
thews removed from the bench of the
supreme court of the United States ono
of Its ablest members. For many yoara
before his elevation to the highest tri
bunal in the nation ho occupied a high
rank as a lawyer and jurist , standing
among the foremost at the Cincinnati
bar , and having filled most creditably
judicial positions of importance. Ho
alsu made a most meritorious record ds
a soldier , having entered the service
within a month after the breaking out
of the rebellion , and exhibited during
the two years that ho remained in the
field marked military ability and
distinguished gallantry. Ho at
tained national celebrity by his connec
tion with the famous electoral contest
of 1870 , his argument before the coin-
mission having boon among the most
notable delivered. The appointment ol
Judge Matthews to the supreme bench
by President Giirflold was the subject of
a good deal of unfavorable gossip and
criticism , it being charged that it was
in pursuance of an agreement with Jay
Gould under which Gould gave active
support to Gurfiold. The senate was at
the time In democratic control , and for
a long time withhold its consent
to thu appointment , yielding nt
lust to influential democratic pressure -
sure from the outside. Whether
or not Gould had anything to do with
procuring the appointment the course
of Justice Matthews gave no warrant
for the belief that ho wits in the least
degree under uny external influence.
So far as ho was personally identified
with decisions of the supreme court
these show him to huvo been a learned ,
able , high-minded and conscientious
judge , and the record is in all rosuocta
honorable to his memory and creditable
to the great tribunal of which for
nearly eight years ho was a part.
STOUTS WATERLOO.
The defeat of Stout's claim for nearly
thirty-six thoubtind dollars U an epoch
in the history of Nebraska legislation.
It is remarkable from the fact that U is
thu first time in twenty years that this
notorious leech has Buffered u Waterloo.
The extraordinary efforts of the lobby
to force thu claim through the house
surpassed In shameless desperation the
orgies of the railroad oil room of 1883.
Bilks and dead beats of the Suhler-Mor-
i-lssoy stripe led the hlrad Hessians in
the house , and cajoled .nnd harassed
members whoso votes could not bo bull-
doozed or bribed. Boodle was lavibhly
used whcro other moans failed , rtnd
throats of retaliation were hurled at
these who refused to stifle honor and
conscience by plundering the state.
Tlio desperation of the paid tools of
the lobby hardly surpassed the mercen
ary actions of Caldwcll , Baker andOlm-
a tend , Stout's chief claim agents in the
house. When nature endowed them with
n surplus ot mouth , nil virtues wore lost
in the effort. They brazenly stand on
the floor the consplcious advocates and
shameless engineers of every boodle
bill. The claim which they championed
with all the energy and trickery at their
command was stamped with theft at the
outset. Its tltlo was a mask for robbery ,
and every Hue traced n steal. As origi
nally presented tlio bill called for thirty-
two thousand flvo hundred dollars , but
the demand of the lobby for a
share of the spoils increased the
total by thirty-two hundred del
lars. Stout was perfectly willing
that his hungry tools should be paid
by the slate , but his generous soul re
volted against sharing the original
amount of the swng among the spoils
men.
The stunning defeat of this infamous
claim and , tho. rout of the lobby is
cause for sincere congratulation. The
magnificent fight of the gallant forty-
five , led by Mr. Cady , whoso shrewd
parliamentary management of the final
vote turned the momentary success of
the clique Into crushing defeat , deserve
the applause and commondatiotj of
every taxpayer. These bravo men
spurned the blandishments of the
boodlors. fought the measure from first
to last , and had the satisfaction of turn
ing the tables on the combine by the
timely change of Cushing's vote.

is a disposition in certain
quarters to cheerfully regard the ap
pointment of Mr. WMtelaw Reid to the
French mission as evidence that Presi
dent Harrison is running the adminis
tration. The idea is that Mr. Blaine
particularly desired to please Reid and
reward his.porsonal fidelity by sending
him to England , but the president hav
ing some ono olfao in view , or possibly
not regarding the editor ns the proper
man to go to the court of St. James ,
overruled the wish of the secretary of
state. It is undoubtedly a fact that Mr.
Reid would have preferred the English
mission and that Mr. Blaine would
have been pleased to have gratified him ,
but there is not the least prob
ability that there was the slightest
friction in the matter , or that it was
necessary for the president to assert
any authority. However , there is no
objection to the idea that President
Harrison is running the administration ,
for that is what republicans expect him
to do , and what all who know anything
of him feel confident ho will do. And
neither Mr. Blaine or any other mem
ber of the cabinet wishes it to bo other
wise or will attempt to interfere with
it. The administration is happy and
harmonious , and will continue to bo so.
THE surprising feature of the defeat
of Stout's bogus claim is that the Doug
las county delegation , -with two excep
tions , should bo hawked around like
chattels by Jlorrissoy , and their votes
peddled out to the highest bidder. The
venality of Morrisoy is so notorious that
the members cannot plead ignorance.
To sacrifice their honor and wilfully
neglect their duty to the people for the
benefit of a mercenary go-between is a
disgrace to Omaha and Douglas county.
THE conviction and sentence of Rob
ert Sigol , son of the famous general ,
for forging pension checks in Now
York , is a sad chapter in what prom
ised to bo i usutulmid honorable career.
It will be regretted because it stains a
name high on the 'roll of honor ,
and overwhelms an aged hero with ser
row. It emphasizes the fact that hon
esty is the only policy that insures a
permanent return on the investment'

IT is openly charged that Morrissey

The result of the ICennington bye-election _
in London is everywhere regarded as n swift ,
and significant warning to the Salisbury-Hal-
four-Hartlngton-Chamborlatn unholy alli
ance. No such overwhelming defeat of the
tory-unlonlst coalition has over before oc
curred , and it is not surprising that oven the
torlcs are startled by it , as they of old were
by the warning ana the mcnaco in the hand
writing on the wall. It is another sign of
the ravulsion of the manly and fair-play lov
ing Englishmen accainst the HaUourism that ,
is inexorable In' Us cruelty in Ireland , and
the "Pigotry" of the Soames Houston-
Webstcr-Times-OoVernment forgery and
perjury case against Mr. Parnell be
fore _ the special k'packcd ' commission. It
is the revulsion hgmnst the brutality with
which the "coercion" net is executed that
net which makes it a crime to utter in Ire-
laud words thnt'ttiav be spoken with entlro
freedom and immunity from punishment in
England , and which , if made punishable at
all by imprisonment in England , the convic
tion would hnvoto bo by a Jury , according to
the forms of English law , and not by the
mere dictum and. sentence of a magistrate
who is a creature oftho'governtncnt. The
ICcnnington election furnished an opportu
nity to striku an almost direct blow at Balfour -
four and Salisbury , because the tory-
unionist candidate is a kinsman of both , and
thnt blow has been struck with startling
v Igor.

The financial panic threatened in Franco
by reason of the collapse of the copper syn
dicate , has boon averted b # the Judicious ac
tion of the ministry. The ministers keenly
realized thnt if the flnanci.il crisis h'ad re
sulted in a panic , and in a fall of government
loans a political crisis involving the existence
of the republic itself might have ensued ; and
hence their extraordinary efforts * to save the
situation. While Minister Tirard and his
colleagues have gained great credit among
the financial and business circles of Franco
by their resolute action , the enemies of the
government have made the most of the op
portunity to excite the prejudices of the
masses of the French people. The govern
ment hiis been assailed by the Boulan-
gists for this evidence of its
solicitude for the interests of the rich
and for its lack of sympathy with the toiling
millions. To the tremendous efforts of this
republican ministry to save the greedy spec
ulators in the money market has been con
trasted the refusal of its republican prede
cessor to lend a helping hana to the unfortu
nate people who had invested all their earn
ings in so meritorious an undertaking as thu
Punama canal. This method of attack upon
the government doubtless has its effect ; but
it is inconscquentnl compared with the
wenpon of attack that would have been put
into the hands of the opposition had the cop
per crisis resulted in the financial panio with
which it threatened the French people.

Germany , in Samoa , moans the Hamburg
Trading and Plantation company. Tuis is a
corporation of vast wealth , organized on the
plan of the East Indm company , the Hudson

It owns land on a number of Pacific islands ,

185OQO acres of fertile land. It grows all the

The recent ratification of a treaty of com
merce ami navigation between Great Uritain
and Mexico baa attracted lesa attention than
It deserves. According to the Mexican
press , the provisions of the now convention
are "ot moro aubstantial significance' ' than
these of Mexico's commercial treaties with
any other counties. Tills moans that Great
Britain proposes to lose no advantage in a
competition with American and German in
terests for control of Mexican markets and
profit from Mexican development. Ju thU
connection , an article la the Moxicaa .Finan
cier U of decided interest. It calls attention
to what it terms the financial evacuation of
Mexico bv Americans and the rapid expan
sion of British investments iu railroads and
land * , amounting to English ownership of
the trausportatloa system. It argaas that
the Investment of (165,003,000 , of British capl
tnl in Mexico is nooossarlly indicative of
closer commercial relations ia the near fu
ture. The now treaty confirms this infer-
Once. American statesmen who do not
relish the proipoct ot closer tlos botwccn
Mexico and England must remember that
Mexico has shown a much more liberal dis
position toward us thnn wo have recipro

she invites Europeans to a flold from which
wo voluntarily bar ourselves ,
The ixbdtcatlon of the Sorvlftn throne by
the disreputable Milan has not taken owny
from him all power for harm. The situation
is troublesome to boffin with , because the
youth of the present king ami the supremacy
of tlio regents offer particular temptation for
intrigues with the moro powerful European
courts. It Is Kussla'a policy to detach Sor-
via from Its alliance with Austria , and thus
to regain the commanding Influence In the
Balkan region which It lost two years ago by
the unexpected defiance of Alexander of
Bulgaria. Austria is equally determined to
maintain and increase Its hold upon tlio little
Servian state. A cuuso of trouble which
connects itself directly with Milan Is
already In sight. Milan's divorced
queen , ( the mother of tbo boy
king , wus banished last year by her bus-
baud's decree , but it is now reported that she
moans to return. Her Bon Is said to favor
her preventions to guardianship , but Milan
has threatened , in the event of her return , to
come back himself and oontost her claim to
that rltjht. Such a dispute ns this would
quickly give opportunity for international
trouble whore rival nations nro looking for n
cause of quarrel. If this wore to happen ,
and the Huislan emissaries could provoke n
Bpccics of civil wnr in Sorviii over the ques
tion , the Intervention of cither Austria or
Prussia , followed by n challenge from the
other power , would be a natural result.
*
\Vhnt is known In Europe ns the eastern
question , meaning the .question of the petty
kingdoms and provinces lying south of Aus
tria and cast of the Adriatic sea , Is n con-
tlnual source of vexation and a' fruitful
source of danger to the peace of the 03iitl-
nent. They are so small and so weak that
they nro n constant temptation to a few of
the strong powers to absorb thorn. Russia
wants the easternmost of them to make her
way clearer to tlio Bosphoru , and Austria
would willingly appropriate these nearest
her for the purpose of extending her fron
tier and increasing her territory. It is safe
to say that moro diplomacy has been ex
pended on the eastern question than
on any other matter of continental In
terest since the downfall of the first Xupo-
Icon. As matters now stand the autonomy
of these nations is preserved only by the
mutual antagonism and Jealousy which exists
between Uussia ana Austria. Could Russia
bo assured even that she would have to con
tend with Austria nlono , she would bo very
likely to make n dash at them ; but the czar
fears lest Germany should back Austria , in
which case ho might find an attack upon
Scrvla or Bulgaria a very costly experiment.

Tlio experience of the authorities of Now
Zealand with the Maoris has boon somewhat
similar to that of our government with the
Indian tribes. The people living around
Poverty bay in East Now Zealand have had
n bad scare lately over the threatened incur
sion of a Maori prophet named To Kooti.who

To Kooti is a Maori who was guilty of in
citing natives to massacre a score of Euro
peans moro than twenty years ago at Pov
erty bay. l o escaped then into the bush
and the authorities weakly temporized with
him and gave him land on condition that ho
remain on it. Ho did not observe these con
ditions and has growu bolder with , every
concession by the government , precisely as
the Apache chief Victorio did for so many
years in Arizona. Finally this Maori leader
conceived the Men that ho should march In
triumph through the district which ho had
once devastated , and it was this move which
broke the patience of tlio long-suffering gov
ernment. Troops wcro called out , the Maori
Invasion was stopped and the leader will
probably bo arrested and deported if ho per
sists in his refusal to return to his lands.
The entire affair is a fine exhibition of the
results of a weak and sentimental policy in
dealing with aborigines , who can only bo
ruled by force and fear.

In the first months of President Cleve

but doubtless his friendship for prohibition
had something to do with it. Mr. Waggoner

The friends of the FlUslmmons boys , the

strlclccn nnd deeply mourn the unhappy re
sults. Ftrstmmons sr. , the father of the
hoys , wns In Lincoln to-day. Ho states that
his son , who was struck by the Swede with
n billiard cue , is now lying In n critical con
dition , apparently hanging hotwoon llfo nnd
death. It is also said that Coroner Shoo-
mnkor confirms this story. Ho was called to
see the Injured man yesterday. His nose was
broken In the fight , nnd the nbratlons on his
head , said to have been caused by n blow
from n billiard cue , Indicate that his skull
may have been f ractured. Tlio older Fltz-
Simmons says that his son , who hit and
killed Itood , was crazed with grief when ho
learned of the cowardly blow , and that ho
went Into the saloon in a moment of despera
tion nnd struck the fatal blow In solf-do-
fence. It U said thnt there nro others who
take this vtow of the matter , but the major
ity of the lookers-on say to the contrary.
Albeit , two deaths may result from the sad
affair.

that it is a case of mistaken identity and is
making n vigorous defense. It is probable
thnt tno case will occupy the attention of the

COPPER IS KING.
It Monopolizes the Attention of Eu
ropean Financiers.
LOXDON , March ! ! 3. Copper still monopo
lizes the attention of financiers , and in
Franco has become a political factor. Taking
copper at 50 per ton , it is calculated that the
syndicate will lose 0,000,000. Yesterday ,
in the French chamber of deputies , the min
isters described the authors of the syndicate
as ruined. The Soclcto des Metoaux share
holders are represented as cleaned out. The
French government is acting very cautiously
regarding the reconstruction of the Comptolr
d'Escoinpto , which Is nicknamed bv the Par
isians "Lrf3 Panama des Ulcnes. " The Cotnp-
toir a'Eseompto's original capital nnd re
serve , together with 4,000,000 , are regarded
as lest. The statutes of the now Comptolr
d'Kscompto stipulate that its busi
ness shall bo confined to dis
count aud advance operations , and its
functions limited to acting ns an intermedi
ary between commercial llrms nnd the Bunk
of Franco. The capital is divided into 80,000
shares of COO francs each. The Soclotlo dos
Mctoaux shares rose to-day on ro | > orts that
the Bank of Franco had agreed with the prin
cipal copper warrant holders to take' no de
cision until the 'delegations of American
miners arrive and make a final effort to
bring about a union among miners before
making forced sales. Moreau has been ap
pointed judicial liquidator of the Socictio des
Mcteaux.
