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,” Schley. During a cir us performance in Cleve land, Ohio, a few days since, a circus man stru 'k a bov who was crawling under lh* tent.
