Aa a reply to tatrcrltte who. have ess tiled hie sooth n policy be has brought p reel a re to Marwpon tbe district attorney at Bos Ttoa tp the end that William II. Lewis, a eaalored man, be appointed an assistant Xletrict attorney at that place. The appointee, William H. Lewie, lea Harvard law echool graduate. He has CM little negro blood, and ie so light In eeolor, tbnt do one would suspect bltn of belog a aegro unleee specially Informed of the fact. The following Is tbe Sun's understand ing of tbe new Movement: The Inference to be drawn from tbe aeetbod and cbarac er of tble aDooint stent le that Lewie represeuts exactly aae proportion or negro to tbe population aura eo.uvation ot the nortuern common ttj wbleh the president ie willing to re card ae equivalent to tbe aDDolntmeni -of a full-blooded-black negro to a pom- woo in tne eootn. According to such distribution upon ecientlfle principle, tbe proportion will be one oetarooo to a eaiaor position In Boeton. appointed not directly by tbe preeldent and brought not directly In contact with tbe popula tion; for New York, perbape one quadroon inllarly appointed: a mulatto for In diana, If no objection la raised, and -possibly two mulatto for northern tates of greater negro population. Thle -scheme of proportion, however, hae not bean carried a yet beyond tbe Indirect appointment at Boeton. .110 strenuous preeldent puibee the .reform, It may become necessary for eon greee to establish an Independent bureau tor tbe qompuutlou of tbe proportion on precise basis, so . that no Inequalities may creep In. Meanwhile many northern jouraale -evenly criticise the president's policy In regard t to negro appointments. The "New York Herald esaaes to support him lor renomlnatlon next year, cajbj for the Immediate re-openlng of the Jndlanola office, and for, the withdrawal of the vrwa appointment. 1 f 0 VI 1JLJL11J Clark's r Letter O I $ 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 Attention, AntilyncKers of Boston!

Whatever may he thought as to the HotiiiilncsH of Senator Vest's views, It niual lie admitted that he states them with great vigor. Presto, Change! One of the most finjortant preroga tives of a president of tbe United States is to appoint federal judges, eseeially tbe justices of the supreme court. To the honor of all concerned, the judges of the most powerful tribunal on earth have, as a rule, been men of groat ca pacity and highest character. The his tory of the legal tender divisions is not pleasant reading. The part played, by tne supreme court Judges In the Hayes Tliden content brought the court Into oisn pute.

Now comes Senator Morgan and prac tically throws up bis bands aud asserts that both the old parties have acted hyiHKTltlcally as to the trusts and that It may be necessary to establish a new party to deal with them. The venerable senator from Alabama appears to be in tne same frame of mind in which Mme, rompauour found herself when she ex claimed, "After us the deluge!" only she said it in French. As the new party wuuia tie made up of persons who com- pose the old ones, the senator's latest programme , Holds out precious little noie to suffering humanity. As he has mnrrilcv anil that nmiwMi -. vtuiwuRii unw reason to be hopeful as to tbe future. If a Democrat bad written the above paragrapbh, all the whole hog tariff advocates would inflate their kings and bellow, "Free trade demagogy!" But they will hardly assail the Post with their billingsgate. It's record Is unim peachable on the tariff question, and It knows none better that one of the Chief causes of Republican success hist November was the promise so frequent and emphatically made by Republicans to revise. the Dlngley. rates downward. and It knows that that promise will not be kept. It evidently knows another wing to wit, that the failure on the part of Republicans to fulfill that pledge is "makJug capital for the ene my." So the merry war. Roes on in the Republican camp. Out of It let us hope, will come much good to the great oouy or the people Tbe Post takes another fall out of the U. O. P. in au editorial headed "How Is This?" which runs as follows Both reason and exp -lence show that mere la put one way t maintain parity ueiwven ainereni rormi- or money, and that ia by exchanging on3 for the other at the will of the holder, but When the test nan come, lr any doubt exists whether the secretary of the treasury will follow reason and experience, a panic will be precipitated, aa In 1893. Secretary Shaw as in ISB37 What doea that mean? Was it tne trouole in the treaaury, the scar city of funds and tbe doubt as to what course the secretary would take? Was mat wnat caused the panic In 1VJ3T w hat. then, becomes of the venerable contention which la ao often Been in Re publican organs, that the tariff of 194, ly some miraculous force, brought on a panic a year before lt was born? Did Secretary Shaw Intend to rob the organs of one of the choicest weapons In their arsenal? Does he not understand that the tariff of 189 reached back about a year and brought on a panic, which "cost the country more than our great war Ir. the early sixties?" Have we a secretarv who carea more for the truth than for the, exigencies of his party'a organs? It would seem so, and' the Post congratulates him for his Independence. Nevertheless We expect to see that exploded fiction re paired and put on the roaij again In 1904. I particularly commend that'editorial to the careful and prayerful considera tion of those palpitating and hysterical patriots. General Charles, Henry firos yeuor of Ohio, and Hon. Charles B. Lundis of Indiana, who seem to be real ty possessed of the, wtrnuge hallucina tion that tbe panic of 1303 was, caused by a law passed iu 1804. The chances are, however, that those eminent pub licists would not change their opinions though one rose from the dead to tes tify or though an angel from heaven oawejdown to take the witness staud against them. . , Ambassador Clayton Again. "Uueasy.Uea. the head that wears n crown" is an. ancient saying frequently quoted with approval., .The pMlosoDhy of the proverb jnJght weU -be applied, to all persons holding high office. ,Gen-. eral Powell Clayton,, ambassador to Mexico, can make his V"aiferdavyB to tht fact, in One respect at least tbe position he now 'occupies is : the most desirable in our diplomatic corps, for if la the only one ia which our repre sentative abroad caa Jlva la yl and aav,inohey.n,Hli -mrssjofi iafiffl ad he ranks with the ambassadors to England, Vrance,, Russia, 9,?jH?an?., Austria ana Italy, the pay being, in each case $17,500 per annum; This extraor dinary rank was conferred upon' our representative ito ' Mexico wisely and puraly us commercial measure to in crease our trade with Mexico, by flatter ing the Mexicans.
