Another vacancy, the third within two years, has ocourred in the bench of the supreme court of the United States by the death of Justice Stanley Matthews. Mr, Cleveland had the ap- pointment of two members of the court, a successor to Justice Woods, who died in 1887, Justice Lamar having been ap- pointed to this vacancy, and a successor to Chief Justice Waite, who died last year, this vacancy having been filled by the appointment of Chief Justice Fuller. Under preceding republican adminis- trations Lincoln made five appointments to the supreme bhench, Grant four, Hayes two, and three were under the Garfield-Arthur administeation, one of these boing the late Stanley Matthows. It is not improbable that President Harrison will have several appoint- ments to the suprome bench. Under the act of Congress of 1869, judges of any of the courts of the United States are permitted to resign, with full salary for life, after reaching the age of seventy, provided they have served ten years continuously. Three of the justices are now eligible for retirement. Justice Mil- ler, who was appointed in 1862, issoven- ty-three years old, and although in vig- orous health, with his splendid mental faculties unimpared, it has been under- stood that he contemplated retirement in order to pass the remaining years of his life in the ease nnd freedom which his long and valuable service entitles him to. Justice Field who was ap- pointed in 1863, 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, he being one of the three 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 age being seventy-six. He is still vigorous for his years, but his retire- ment within the next four years is alto- gother probable. Leaving outof con- sideration, therefore, possible vacancies from death, itis more 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 be filled by the appointment of Judge Gresham. There have been intimations from trust- worthy sources at Washington that the president had assured Judge Gresham that he would be appointed to the first vacancy that occurred in the supreme bench, and while there may have been no substantial ground for this report, there is nothing to ren- der such u selection improbable. Pres- ident Harrison undoubtedly has as high appreciation as any one 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 more strongly to the popular re- spect and confidence, and in this President Harrison doubtless shares. It demonstrated Judge Gresham’s ele- vated sense of the character of the judicial office, which under all cir- cnmstances should be kept aloof from political controversy and conflict. There was never a doubt or question us to Judge Gresham’s loyalty to his party and its candidate, and doubtless no re- publican was more gratified than he at the success of the party. The appointment of Judge Gresham to the supreme bench would give great satisfaction to a large majority of the people. It would be offensive only to those who are not in sympathy with the rights and interests of the people, and therefore fear his integrity and up- rightness. His appointment would be an aquisition to the supreme bench and a credit to the administration. THE LATE JUSTICE MATTHEWS. The death of Justice Stanley Mat- thews removed from the bench of the supreme court of the United States one of its ablest members. For many yea before his elevation to the highest t bunal in the nation he veeupied a high rank as a lawyer and jurst, standing among the foremost at the Cincinnati bar, and having filled most creditably judicial positions of importance. He also 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 he remained in the fleld marked military ability and distinguished gallantry. He at- tained national celebrity by his connec- tion with the famous electoral contest of 1876, his argument before the com- mission having been among the most notable delivered. The appointment of Judge Matthews to the supreme bench by President Garfield was the subject of a good deal of unfavorable gossip and criticism, it being charged that 1t was in pursuance of an agreemont with Jay Gould under which Geuld gave active support to Garfield. The senate was at the time in democratic control, and for a long time withheld its consent to the appointment, yielding at last to influential democratic pres- 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 he was in the least degroe under any external influence. So fur as he was personally identified with decisions of the supreme court these show him to have been a learned, able, high-minded and conscientious judge, and the record is in all resvects honorable to his memory and creditable to the great tribunal of which for nearly eight years he was a part. S—— STOUT'S WATERLOO. The defeat of Stout’s claim for nearly thirty-six thousand dollars is an epoch in the history of Nebraska legislation. 1t is remarkable from the fact that it is the first time in tweaty years that this notorious leech hassuffered a Waterloo. The extraordinary efforts of the lobby to force the claim through the house surpassed in shameless desperation the orgies of the railroad oil room of 1883, Bilks and dead beats of the Sahler-Mor- rissey stripe led the hired Hessians in the house, and cajoled .and harassed members whose votes could not be bull- doozed or bribed. Boodle was lavishly THE OMAMA DATLY BEE: SATURDAY, MARCH 23, 18%. used where other means fafled, and threats of rotaliation were hurled at those who refussd to stifle honor and con'science by plundering the state. The desperation of the paid tools of the lobby hardly surpassed the mercen- ary actions of Caldwell, Baker and Olm- stead, Stout’s chief claim agents in the house. When nature endowed them with a surplus of mouth, all virtues were lost in the effort. They brazenly stand on the floor the conspicious advocates and shamoless enginecers 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 title was a mask for robbery, and every line traced a steal. As origi- nally presented the bill called for thirty- two thousand five hundred dollars, but the demand of the lobby for a share of the spoils increased the total by thirty-two hundred dol- lars, tout was perfectly willing that his hungry tools should be paid by the state, but his generous soul re- volted against sharing the original amount of the swag among the spoils- men. The stunning defeat of this infamous claim and the.rout of the lobby is cause for sincere congratulation. The magnificent fight of the gallant forty- five, led by Mr. Cady, whose shrowd parliamentary management of the final turned the momentary success of the clique into crushing defeat, deserve the applause and commendation of every taxpayer. These brave men spurned the blandishments of the boodlers, 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. Hounor to whom honor is due. are the names of the victors: Abrahamson, Ballard, Berlin, Bisbee, Bortis, Brink, Cady, Christy of Dedge, Corbin, Delaney, Elliott, Everett, Fav- ley, Gates, Gilbert, Green, Hampton, Hanna, Hanthorn, Harding, Hill of Butler, Hooper, Hunter, Johnson, Ki per, Larson, Lash, Majors, Mattes, jr., O’Sullivan, Robb, Sargent, chell, Scoville, Shepard, Snyder, Stirk, Swartzley, Weber, Weller, Whitehead, ‘Whitford, Williams, Winter and Yutzy. Here TueERE is a disposition in certain quarters to cheerfully regard the ap- pointment of Mr. Whitelaw Reid to the French mission as evidence that Presi- dent Harrison is running the admin tration. The idea is that Mr. Blaine particularly desired to please Reid and reward hispersonal fidelity by sending him to England, but the president hav- ing some one else in view, or possibly not regarding the editor as 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 républicans expect him to do, and what all who know anything of him feel confident he will do. And neither Mr. Blaine or any other mem- ber of the cabinet wishes it to be other- wise or will attempt to interfere with it. The administration is happy and harmonious, and will continue to be so. — THE surprising feature of the defeat of Stout’s bogus claim 18 that the Doug- las county dele gation, with two excep- tions, should be hawked around hke chattels by Morrissey, and their votes peddled out to the highest bidder. The venality of Morrisey is so notorious that the members cannot plead ignorunce. 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 Sigel, son of the famous general, for forging pension checks in New York. is a sad chapter in what prom- ised to beg usetuland honorable career.

It is men fawily affair, OrHER LANDS THAN OURS. The result of the Kennington bye-clection in London is everywherc regarded as a swift and significant warning to the Salisbury-Bal- four-Hartington-Chamberlain unholy alli- ance. No such overwhelming defeat of the tory-unionist coalition has ever before oc- curred, and it is not surprising that even the torics are startled by it, s they of old were by the warning ana the menace in the hand- writing on the wall. It is another sign of the revulsion of the manly and fair-play lov- ing Englishmen against the Balfourism that is inexorable in *it8 cruelty in Ireland, and the “Pigotry” of the Soames—Houston- Webster-Times-Government forgery and perjury case against Mr. Parmell be- fore the special ‘packed commission. it is the revuision against the brutality with which the “coercion” act is executed—that act which makes 1t a crime to uter in Ire- land words that may be spoken with entire freodom and immunity from punishment in England, and which, if made punishable at all by imprisonment in England, the convic- tion would haveto be by a jury, according to the forms of Briglish law, and not by the mere dictum and- sentence of o magistrate who is @ creature of the government. The Kennington clection furnished an opportu- nity to strike an almost dircet blow at Bal- four and Salisbury, because the tory- unionist candidate is & kinsman of both, and that blow has been struck with startling vigor. « B “he financial panic threatened in Franco by reason of the collapse of the copper syn- dicate, has been averted b§ the judicious ac- tion of the ministry. The ministers keenly realized that if the financial crisis had 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 Mimster Tirard and his colleagues have gained great credit among the financial and business circles of France Dy 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 Frrench peaple. The govern- ment has been assailed by the Boulan- gists for this evidenco 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 groedy spec- ulators in the money market has been con- trasted the refusal of its republican prede- cessor to lend a helping hand to the unfortu- nate people who had invested all their earn- ings in so meritorious an undertaking as the Panama canal. This method of attack upon the government doubtless has its effect: but it 13 inconscquental compared with the weapon of attack that would have been put into the hands of the opposition had the cop- per crisis resulted in the finaucial panic with which it threatened the French people. Germany, in Samoa, moans the Hamburg Trading and Plentation company. This is a corporation of vast wealth, organized on the plan of the East India company, the Hudson Bay company and our own Alaska Commer- cial company. 1t is supposed to pay large dividends and to count among its stockhold- ors leading membors of the German court. It owns land on a number of Pacific islands, but its chief holdings are in Samoa, where it is said to own and cultivate with native labor 155,000 acres of fertile land, 1t grows all the tropical products and exports them to Ham- burg, paying for thém in German goods at the company's price.

Ma . auls “The recent ratification of a treaty of com- merce and navigation between Great Britain and Mexico has attracted less attention than it deserves. According to the Mexican press, the provisions of the new conveatiou are “of more substantial significance” than those of Mexico's commercial treaties with any other counties. This means that Great Britain proposes t0 loseno advantage ina competition with American aud German m- terests for control of Mexican markets and profit from Mexican development. In this connection, an article in the Mexicaa Finau- cier is of decided interest. It calls attention to what it terms the financial evacuation of Mexico by Awericans aud the rapid expan- sion of Britisa investments in railroads and lands, amouuting to English ownership of the trausportavion system. It argues that the investment of £165,000,000 of British capl tal in Moxico is necossatily indicative of closer commercial relations in the near fu- ture. The new treaty confirms this infer- ence. American statesmon who do not rolish the prospect of cioser ties botwoen Mexico and Eagland must remember that Mexico has shown a much more liboral dis- position toward us than we have recipro- cated, and that we have ourseives to blame if she invites Europeans to a field from which we voluntarily bar ourselves, . o The abdication of the Servian throne by the disreputable Milan has not taken away from him all power for harm. The situation troublesome to bogin with, because the youth of the present king and the supremacy of the ragents offer particular temptation for intrigues with the more powerful European courts. It is Russia’s policy to detach Ser- via from its alliance with Austria, and thus 1o regain the commanding influence in the Balkan region which it lost two years ago by tho unexpocted defiance of Aloxander of Bulgaria. Austria is equally determined to maintain and increase its hold upon the littlo Servian stato. A cause of trouble which connects itself directly with Milan s already in sight. Milan's divorced queen, . the mother of the boy king, was banishod last year by her hus- band's decree, but it is now reported that sho means to roturn. Her son is said to favor her pretentions to guardianship, but Milan has threatened, in the event of her return, to come back himself and contest her claim to that right. Such a dispute as this would quickly give opportumity for international trouble where rival nations are looking for a cause of quarrel. If this were to happen, and the Russian omissarics oould provoke apecies of civil war in Servia over the ques- tion, the intervention of either Austria or Prussia, followed by a challenge from the other power, would be a natural result, What is known in Europe as the eastern question, meaning the question of the petty kingdoms and provinces lying south of Aus- tria and east of the Adriatic sea, is acon- tinual source of vexation and a fruitful source of danger to the peace of the conti- nent. They are so small and so weak that they aroa constant temptation to a fow of the strong powers to absorb them. Russia wants the casternmost of them to make her way clearer to the Bosphorus, and Austria would willingly anpropriate those nearest her for the purpose of extending her fron- tier and increasing her territory. It is safe tosay that more diplomacy has been ex- vended on the eastern question than on any other matter of continental in. terest since the downfall of the first Napo- leon. As matters now stand the autonomy of these nations is preserved only by the mutual antagonism and jealousy which exists between Russia and Austria. Could Russia be assured even that she would have to con- tend with Austria alone, she would be very likely to make a dash at them; but the cgar fears lest Germany should back Austria, in which case he might find an attack upon Servia or Bulgaria a vety costly experiment. The experience of the authorities of New Zealand with the Maoris has been somewhat similar to that of our government with the Indian tribes. 'The people living around Poverty bay in East New Zealand have had a bad scare lately over the threatened incur- sion of a Maori prophet named To Kooti,who was at the head of several hundred followers. Te Kooti is a Maori who was guiity of in- citing natives to massacre a score of Euro- peans more than twenty years ago at Pov- erty bay. He escaped then into the bush and the authorities weakly temporized with him and gave him land on condition that he remain on it. He did not observe these con- ditions and has grown bolder with every concession by the government, precisely as the Apache chief Victorio did for so many years in Arizona. Finally thus Maori leader con ed the idea that he should march in triumph through the district which he had once devastated, and it was this move which broke the patience of the long-suffering gov- ernment. Troops were called out, the Maori invasion was stopped and the leader will probably be arrested and deported if he 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 be ruled by force and fear. it ek A Harmony Prevails.

Hobnobbing with the president, according to their sayso, was of alirost daily occurrence with them. “We also took a run over to New York” remarked Gurley, ‘“aud saw Depew, stopped on our way back at Philadelphia to call on George W. Childs und saw that everything was running smoothly before quitting the capital.” They say that the Nebraska appointments have all been fixed but with possibly one exception were not at liberty to divulge the names of the lucky cndidates. *“I don't mind telling you,” replied Gurley, ‘‘that John Peters, of Albion, will be the internal revenue collec- tor.”” Nebraskans are quite numerous just now in Washington and seem to have consid- erable business every day in and about the treasury department.

Ftzsimmons sr., the father of the boys, was in Lincoln to-day. He states that his son, who was struck by the Swede with a billiard cue, is now lying in a eritical con- dition, apparently hanging botween life and death. It is also said that Coroner Shoe- makor confirms this story. He was called to sco the injured man yesterday. His nose was broken in the fight, and tho abrasions on his head, said to have been caused by a blow from a billiard cue, indicate that his skull way have been fractured. The elder Fitz- simmons says that his son, who hit and killed Reed, was crazed with grief when ho learned of the cowardly blow, and that he went into the saloon in a moment of despera- tion and struck the fatal blow in solf-de- fence, Tt is said that there are others who take this view of the matter, but the major- ity of the lookers-on say to the contrary, Af:hl‘"., two deaths may result from the sad affair, LINCOLN BUREAU OF Tirr OManA Brn, 102 P S } Passed Forged Cheoks. Samuel Worthington was on trial to-lay before Judge Houston on the charge of forg- ing and passing forged checks. The arrest ‘was made on the information of Charles S. Jones, who was victimized by Worthington or some sharper out of €10 on the 4th of this month. Jones cashed a check, as he allegoes, for the sum stated, signed by Murphy Bros, and payable to John Knox, which was prop- erly indorsed. Worthington sets up the olaim that it is a case of mistaken identity and 18 makinga vigorous defense. It is probablo that the case will occupy the attention of the court during the entire afternoon.

Loxpox, March 23, —Copper still monopo- lizes the attention of financiers, and in France has become a political factor. Taking copper at £50 per ton, it is calculated that the syndicate will lose £6,000,000. Yesterday, in the French chamber of deputies, the min- isters described the authors of the syndicate as ruined. The Societe des Meteaux share- holders are represented as cleaned out. The French government is acting vory cautiously regarding the reconstruction of the Comproir d'Escompte, which is nicknamed by the Par- isians ‘‘Le Panama des Riches.” The Comp- toir a’Escompte's original capital and re- servoe, together with £4,000,000, are regarded as lest. The statutes of the new Comptoir d'Escompte stipulate that its busi- ness shall bo confined to dis- count and advance operations, and its functions limited to acting as an intermedi- ary hetween commercial tirms and the Bank of France. The capital is divided into 80,000 shares of 500 francs each. The Societie des Meteaux shares rose to-day on reports that the Bank of France 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 &_union among miners beforo mnking forced sales. Moreau has been ap- pointed judicial liquidator of the Societic des Meteaux. LoxpoX, March 23.—The copper market closed brighter to-day.
