CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER.
The New Yolk Herald says that the
onlirmatioii of Mr. Fuller to he Chief
lu-tiee lias never been in doubt since
t became known that the Senators
'mm lllimds—Republicans—were in
lis favor. The Senate by a vote
*t forty-one t«» twenty, confirmed the
nomination. Mr. Fuller is to be con-
rat ulated upon bis success, and we
trust tin* country will have reason to
•e pmud of its Chief .Justice.
The vote of twenty Senators against
oiiiirmatioii is a protest worthy of
onsidcratioii. It cannot be attribu
ted t** party reasons, but has a higher
meaning. The only theory upon
.vhich this nomination could bo made
wa> that of the absolute right of the
Executive to appoint whom he pleases
to any vacancy, a theory prevalent in
Russia but in no other civilized na
tion. It is not a practice to he en
roll raged, even with the high sanction
of Mr. Cleveland. If the Senate hud
rejected Mr. Fuller, which we are glad
it did not do. there would have been
reasons for the course. In tilling the
great offices consideration is due to
experience and popular acceptability,
neither of which finalities Mr. Full*
possessed. When Grant and Sherina
were put in command of the army, or
Furragut and J*«*rter at the head of
the navy, eminent fitness dictated the
choice. There were twenty lawyers
at our Bar. the nomination of any one
of whom to be Chief Justice would
have been taken as due recognition
and promotion and promptly con
firmed. There is no reason why the
principle which prevails in the army
and the navy should not apply to the
Bench. President Arthur, in the
nii-diT i nominations of Blatchford and Gray,
gave a brilliant illustration of liow to
do it, and although those appoint
ments were outside of politics the
Senate confirmed them.
Mr. Fuller enters upon iiis high
office with the best wishes of the
country and the hope that the brillian
cy and probity of his career will be a
complete warrant for the President's
act in discovering him and creating
aim Chief Justice.
ties worthy the weighty consideration
of the people. It is a serious qties-1
tion whether we shall push further a
policy of restriction which narrows
our relations with the rest of the
world dy advancing the interest of fa- j
vored indutries at the expense of the
masse of the people, or whether we
shall stop,where we are and gradually
return to a fiscal system that would
permit and promote a symmetrical
and uncrippled growth of all the in
dustries which our unrivaled natural
resources invite us to establish.

There are, on the contrary, thous
ands of persons in tin* Democratic
party who are participants in the le-
il pillage derived from the protective
diev who this year will lot their
pockets vote. There are still others
who are honest converts to the capti
vating dogma of the Protectionists
that the laborer is the chief gainer by
tariff taxation. The Kepublican Jour
nals publish exultant announcements
of the number of such converts to
Harrison and Morton.
There is nothing strange in these
changes. When tin* war began, in
1S(»1. thousands of Democrats went
into the Depuhlican party, and have
steadily supported it since, who are
not, believers in the revenue policy
which it now supports. Thousands of
Whigs who at the same time went
over to the Democrats are sturdy Pro
tectionists. and they should now act
with the party of Protection. It is
but natural that, as the old ante-war
issue lias been fairly revived, there
should be a grand shifting of position
in the ranks of both parties. The
fact, ami the cause of it, are both mat
ters of congratulation. The bulk of

A SPICY INCIDENT.
The following is from the Charles
ton News, and is so spicy as to need
little apology for reproduction:
“Some Republican newspapers are
trying very hard to make political
capital out of the alleged refusal of
Senator Colquitt and Congressman
Stewart, of Georgia, to extend to Rep
resentative McKinley, of Ohio, an in
vitation to deliver an address on the
tariff question before the “Piedmont
“Chautauqua,” to be held near Atlan
ta. The Indianapolis Journal partic-
ularlv magnifies the incident, which it
styles “a striking exhibition of South
ern intolerance and proscription,” and
lectures tiie South generally, in its
usual violent way, upon the lack of
courtesy, “Bourbonism,” “political in
sanity,” and other similar traits which,
as the Jouri id holds, characterize the
Southern people in all tlieir dealings
j with the rest of the country. Worse
still, the Journal says:
“‘No. The war will never be over
mitil Congressman McKinley or any
other representative Republican can
go and cuino, and speak, if he likes,
to our people in Georgia as freely and
safely as he can in his native Ohio; or
as freely as any Rebel brigadier can
come North and harangue a Tammany
crowd in New York.’
“It is very sad, of course, to be told
that the war is not over yet; but there
is some comfort, at any rate, in the
reflect ion that our Indiana contempo
rary is the very last straggler that re
mains on the field. As for the rest of
its remarks, there is really very little
to be said, it is impossible to con
vince the Journal that it is wrong on
the main question, since it does not
want to l»e convinced. It lias urgent
use for misrepresentation of the
South just now, and there is no earth
ly use in explaining the incident to
which it refers, or in suggesting that
the !acts may not ho as it has pro
claimed them. It will he enough
then, for all practical purposes, to say
merely that, whatever slight has or
has not been offered to Mr. McKinley
• *ii this occason, he would lie as hearti
ly welcomed, and heard with as much
respect and attention, by the people
of any community in the Southern
States as by the people of any com
munity in his own State of Ohio.
“More than this may be said. The
]>cop1c of the South entertain senti-
tiincuts of peculiar .regard or Con-
AN EFFETE PARTY-
The Philadelphia Record says that
tin*re never was a more melancholy
confession of party impoteney than
the failure of the Republican minori
ty in the House to agree upon a meas
ure of tax reduction with which to
contest the passage of the Mills hill.
The Republican criticism of Deni-
ratio delay has for years past been
sharp and merciless and not without
warrant. But—saving Air. Kan*bill,
who is only so far a member of the
Republican party as his ideas of tariff
revision carry him outside of the
Democratic lines—there was no oppo
nent of revenue reform who had the
manliness to come to the front with a
counter pro|H)sition.
Tiie great party of the war period
which once fought with splendid cour
age for the principle it s espoused, is
now merely a party of obstruction, led
by mice instead of men, and the
ready instrument of monopolies and
abuses which have grown stronger
than the hand that created them.
Bi ki.ais, the course material made
of hemp or jute for bagging, were im
ported last year to the value of #5,-
000,000 over a duty of JO per cent.
This tax, as well as an equivalent tax
for the burlaps made in the country,
was paid chiefly by American farmers
and millers. The Mills bill puts bur
laps on the free list with hemp, jute
and llax. It is the stupid tax on
these raw materials which has en
couraged the large importation of the
manufactured article to this country!
If the tax on their raw materials
should be removed, American manu
facturers of burlaps would have no
difficulty in competing with their Eu
ropean rivals in both home and foreign
markets.

John \Y. White has solved the problem
of river lands which are subject to over
flow. Capt. White lost some two thous
and bushels of corn l>y the high water of
last year. In the fall he seeded down
his bottoms in Herds grass and Timothy.
The Herds grass, from some cause,
failed to c*>me up, but the Timothy grew
and has just been harvested. From
fifty acres Capt. White cut 25 tons of
splendid hay. Considering tho facts
that the land was but thinly seeded and
of this being tho first year, the yield is
line, and proves a profitable crop. The
water has be* *n over (lift grass but did
no harm. We have long thought that
the best thing to do with much of our
bottom land is to seed it down to grass.
The general adoption of this plan wid
insure abundance of sto:k feed and make
profitable farming.

reports reflect on the penitentiary de
partment. This department, iu fact,
says the Times, is as rotten as the
timbers which were supposed to sup
port the ceiling of the “perfect death
trap,” in which Cassidy and other
convicts were caged, lint Col. ’Pow
ers need not take tp himself or
his subordinates all tho criticism that
the present penitentiary system in
vites. Criticism will continue as long
as tlio abuses attendant upon the sys
tem persist. It would require a Titan
to sustain the too vast orb of its fate.
Hut Keeper Towers can explain, as lie
has recently visited Kising Fawn
camp, how it was that tho convict
Ward escaped, the date ho escaped,
and how it was that a story went out
to tho State that the escaping felon
was loaded down with lead before he
gained his liberty. Keeper Towers
would also confer a favor by furnish
ing an account of the escape of the
murderer Walsh. Wo do not pretend,
continues our contemporary, that the
keeper of the penitentiary is at fault,
hut we havo failed to see any full and
satisfactory reports on tho matte's
referred to. There were three arch
criminals sunt up in recent years.
One has been killed and twe have
escaped.
Keeper Towers, however, reports
Rising Fawn and Cole City camps in
good condition. Without intending
to question the correctness of this re
port, the Times suggests that no fur

The Nature of the Crab*

A Wonderful Fire Bertie.
A beautiful s|>ecimen of the celebrated
West India cuculo, or fire beetle, was
caught the other nrglit in a door yard in
Brooklyn by a littlo daughter of Mr.
Stephen Avenll. It is about an inch and
a half long, and upon the thorax aro two
eye like spots, resembling those of an
ordinary water beetle. When the insect
is placed in the dark these spots shine
with a greenish light, strong enough to
produce a perceptible illumination around

TROTECT OUR BREAD.
Tho machinery of the law cannot be put nt work too
speedily or too vigorously against the wholesale adultera
tion of the things we eat. Both the health and the pockets
of the people demand protection.
There is no article of food in general use more wickedly
adulterated than the lower grades of baking powder.
These baking powders contain either lime, which,
introduced into the system in too free quantities, causes
serious disorders of the kidneys; alum, a corrosive poison,
or lime phosphates and sulphates, which are condemned by
physicians as deleterious in their effect when taken under
certain physical conditions.
For raising bread, biscuit or other food only the very
best and purest baking powder should be employed.
| The absolute purity of the Royal Baking Powder
makes it pre-eminently the most useful and wholesome
leavening agent known. Containing no lime, alum, phos
phate or other impurity, it leaves no alkaline or acid resi
duum in the food, and its use insures pure, light and sweet
bread, biscuit and cake, that are perfectly digestible and
wholesome whether hot or cold, fresh or stale. Its leaven
ing power has been determined the highest whenever tested
by official authority, and all chemists and writers on food
hygiene commend it for its sterling qualities.
