WASHINGTON LETTER
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, D. C. Aug. 9th 1889.
During the President’s absence at Bar
Harbor the sensationalist have full sway
and all the offiiees that are vacant are
generally hilled to the satisfaction
of thegossipers. The latest of the ru
mors is to the effect that Secretary Noble
will be given the vacancy on the Su
preme Court bench and that Assistant
Post-master General Clarkson will be el
evated to the Secaetaryship of the Inte
rior. Secretary Noble is quoted as deny
ing the rumor. In view of the denial,
and of surrounding circumstances it is
probable that the original plan will be
adhered to and Attorney General Miller
appointed to the Justiceship.
In Indiana people are divided as to the
respective merits of Justice Wood and
Attorney General Miller, as to which is
the greatest Indianna lawyer. Unfortu
nately the fame of neither gentleman
traveled beyond the borders of the Ho
sier State prior to this year, but the Pres
ident is acquainted with Indiana lawyers
and, with commendable modesty, re
gards his own law partner as the best ex
cept, perchance, the president of the Uni
ted states.
Mr. Noble's appointment at this time
would be pecularly unfortunate, His
policy has been an active one and full of
the promise of sensible reforms. He is a
luv l working and fearless man. In so
quickly putting his foot down on the
frauds winked at in the Pension Bureau,
which are now under investigation, he
showed more resolution than secretaries
are wont to exhibit in such cases. To
promote him to the Supreme bench at
the present time would be to squelch his
investigations, and to leave the sinceri
ty of the administration in question.
It is said that the President has told
Corporal Tanner that in no case will he
be disturbed and that he may rest as
sured of his tenure. If this be so, it may
be that Secretary Noble would be glad to
go to the Supreme court bench to relieve
lumself of the humiliation of insubordi
nation in one of his bureau. The incom
petency of Mr. Tanner for so important a
position as that of Commissioner of Pen
sions was urged upon President Harrison
previous to his appointment by such em
inent counsellors as Senator Hiscock. If
President Harrison has passed his prom
ise to retain the present Commissioner,
he will likely be compelled to recall it
within twelve months.
The appointment of either Secre
tary Noble or Attorney General Miller
to the Supreme Bench would dispose of
one vexed problem. When Assistant
Post-master-General Clarkson accepted
the position it was with the definite ex
pectations of entering the cabinet at the
first vacancy. It was then stated that
John Wanamaker had only accepted a
cabinet portfolio for the honor it confer
red, and would be content with a short
rule. But Mr. Wannamaker proved a
better stayer than expected. The only
possible out come of the dilemma, save
of course that some obliging secretary
would die or resign, seems to lie by some
one’s promotion. In the event of Attor
ney General Miller’s selection, Secretary
Noble would likelv be transferred to the
department of Justice where he would
not drop out of sight as he would on the
l>ench.
The Supreme Court, has, however,
many attractions for a tired Cabinet offi
cer. Who would not live in a legal An
dalusia. where there is only sufficient
work to relieve the monotony of idle
hours, and where the satiated senses are
lulled to slumber by the delightful con
sciousness of ones own importance! To
continually move in an atmosphere of
black silk and harmless mystery at
$10,000 per annum for life, is not so bad
after all. Ask Mr. Fuller, late a minor
light of the Chicago bar, how he likes
tlie situation with the added salary of
chief Justice. The members of the Su
preme court are the happiest family in
the world. They undoubtedly earn their
salaries, hut as the Irish laborer said of a
Bis*top’s lot: “It’s a nice, clean, easy bit
of a job,”

pp to enormous proportions. The boy
died an hour later in great agony.
