New Tork Cigar I.ear Market.
Ferth past week tbe market was again
In a atate of stagnation. Such activity as

Dutch, all at depressed prices, and te a sale
. el 400 bales of Sumatra. The stock el Su
matra ou band la new disappearing ae fast
that there will hardly be any left when the
new Importations arrive. Frem careful
estimates It would appear that tbere are
hardly 8 000 bnlea of Sumatra, all In all, en
band. Considering that new goods caunet
be brought In btfere July,that the new seed
leaf cannot be worked before that time,
lint old Becd leaf wrappers are hardly ex-

It la no impeachment of tbe flints of
Melville W. Puller, of Illinois, for chief
Juatloeefthe United Bister, that be Is net
widely known te the general public.
Very learned atid able lawyers, unleaa
called Inte publle life, are quite likely te
remain unknown outside of tbelr prefea

tbat be baa alnce wen an honorable and die.
tingulsbed name mills cbeeen profession.
He comes before the publle highly recom
mended by tbeae wbe should have knowl
edge of bla fitness and the presumptions
are In hie favor, because President Cleve
land la net tbe kind of man te make a mis.
tike In cheesing a nominee for tbe highest
office te which he can make appointment.
Mr. Fuller bas Just entered bla fifty-sixth
year, auttable age for a Judge of the su
preme court Just entering upon the efilee.
iie is net tee young te be chief among bis
elders en tbe bance, net tee old ler long
and vigorous service.
Frem tbe Philadelphia Itecerd.
Mr. Melville Westen Fuller Is, first and
foremost, an eminent lawyer, ranking in
professional reputation with any et tbe aa
aoelate justices with whose acquirements
bis own will be naturally measured. Te
this necesssry qualification for the great
office for wblcn be la named be brings
etber weighty advantages. He baa an un
stained reputation for integrity and rtlm
Judgment. He his never been anrJUce
aeeker, and was net an applicant for the
place ciTered htm. He is a thorough-going
Democrat, but net a pattlsan. He Is a
learned man outslde of tbe lawboeks.
Lastly, be lias the supsr-emliient suitable
ness of proper age.
Tula appointment was probably as Im
portant an exercise of bla executive func
tion as President Cleveland whl be called
ujnn te make, even assuming bis reelection
for a second term te be assured. The out
come baa fnrnlsbed a new proof et geed
Judgment as well as geed luck.
Frem the Philadelphia Times.
In Illinois, however, and throughout the
West, aa well as at Washington and among
lawyers elsewbere, bis name Is familiar aa
tbat of one of tbe strong men of the Ameri
can bar, and tbe president baa been se uni
formly careful la hla choice for offices of
high responsibility that tbere will be a gen
eral disposition te take Mr. Fuller's pecu
liar fitness upon trust. He wllloemetotbo
bench with well settled principles, with a
wide knewledge of men and affairs, and,
above all, with a mind well trained in all
the brancheB of the law.
Through bia frequent appearances before
tbe supreme court be is well-known net
only te the associate Justices, but te tbe
leading senators et both parties, and there
la no reaaen apparent that would Justify
any delay In hla confirmation. There will
be general satisfaction tbat In filling this
hluu office the president has kept outside
me complications or practical pontles, ana
while making a nomination tbat will be
politically satisfactory te bis party, baa at
tbe aame time chosen one whom all parties
will recognize and respect as a lawyer and
one wertny te be'natned in a most distin
guished line.
Frem the Philadelphia Press.
It by no means fellows that a high Judi
cial appointment is an unfit one because Iho
merits of tbe appointee are Utile known
outside of his own state. It Is the excep
tion and net the rule when a lawyer wins'
a national reputation solely through tbe
ability which no displays and the success
be attains In tbe practice et tbe law.
The cordial expressions of approval and
satisfaction with which these who knew
Mr. Fuller receive tbe news of bis nomina
tion will predispose these less favored te
think tbe best et tbe selection. While the
president had an almost Unbroken line of
precedent for selectlng a chief justice of tbe
United States from the bar instead or the
bench, a Judicial experience In the abxenee
of a national reputation would bave served
as some sort et credential for Mr. Fuller
Ab it is be will enjoy the distinction et be
ing tbe most obscure man evor appointed
chief justice of tbe Uulted States. Time
may preve bis capacity and fitness, but It
would be a hotter appointment if the ooun eoun oeun
try at large had some preliminary evldence
et bis qualification for tbe high etllcn ether
thantbeadmlrlng tributes of partial friends,
l'rem tbe Philadelphia Inquirer.
President Cleveland has executed another
of hi brilliant macisuvrea and completely
flanked all ihe political prophets by nomi
nating for chief Justice et the United Slates
a man of whom few of them had ever beard
before. Of all tbe men la the United States
eligible for tbe position Melville W. Fuller
was the very one that the presldent wanted
te give It te, and It was a great piece et
"Cleveland luck" that tbe place fell vacant
at such an opportune mement and that
Melville W. Fuiler was en band te accept
IU
Happily for the country, bowever, Its
Interests as well as Mr. Cleveland's appear
te be served by Mr. Fuller's appointment.
He bears an honorable name among bis as
sociates, is represented te be betb cultured
and able, of judicial mind and mere or a
lawyer than a politician. He is, moreover,
of suitable age, nnd la probably as geed a
man for the position as oeuld have been
found amid tbe exigencies of a dawnlug
political campaign.

Washington, May 1 The H in ate wing
or tbe oapltel was the centre of attraction In
Washington today. Although Senater
Ingalla announced tbat he would reply te
Senater Voerheea at 2 o'clock tbla alter alter
neon, It' was only ten when the crowd a
began te assemble In tbe Senate galleries
and by neon atandlng room could scarcely
be secured. The crowds Included tbe
families et many senators and represen
tative. When tbe Senate convened Mr.
Ingalla was In tbe chslr, but seen after
12 o'clock be called Mr. Delph te tbe ebalr,
and left the ebamber.
Mr. Spooner reintroduced the direct tax
bill as a proposed amendment tethesundry
civil appropriation bill.
Tbe Spooner resolution calling for Infor
mation aa te appointments and removals In
tbe New Yerk customhouse was adopted.
Mr. Stewart then took the fleer for a
silver speoeh en resolution et Inquiry as
te treasury purehasea of silver bullion.
Mr. Stewart, among etber things, main
tained tbat It bad been the duty of the secre
tary of the treasury ter tbe tlrat time under
the Bland act te purchase tour millions et
silver bullion every month, and that If be
had done se silver would have been at par
te-day, and there would bave been 300 000,
000 mere In circulation.

At the conclusion of Mr. Stewart's speech,
his resolution was adopted and bill was

At s o'clock a messenger entered tbe
ebamber and laid bunch el (lowers, a
copy of tbe revlaed statutes aud a plle of
manuscript en Mr. Ingalla deak.
Messrs. Voerheea and Blackburn bad
been in earnest conversation, but new
there waa general lull aud Mr. Ingalla
came In and took hla aeat He pushed tbe
flowers from bla desk te Mr. Allisen's and
began te arrange bia manuscript
When tbe hour of 2 o'clock waa an
nounced, and tbe chatr laid befere tbe
Senate tbe pleuropneumenia bill, Mr.
Palmer asked that It be laid aside and Mr.
Ingalla rose for the purpose, aa be said, of
aubmlttlng some remarks en the preal
dent's messsge.
Incal s Begins His Speech.
"Mr. President," he i-atd, "en the Uth
day et January, 18S8, Majer General File
Jehn Perter wrote letter, from whleh 1
will read." He read an extract from a let
ter expressing gratitude and approbation
of the expressions or friendship and regard
ter him by Southern men, and avowing bla
friendship for Southern men.
Mr. InKalla then took up tbe Congres
sional JUeerd and read from Mr. VoerboeV
apeeeb crltlelslng bis attacks upon Unlcn
generals wbe remained members of tbe
Douaeoratlo party. The senator from
Indiana, he said, bad made tbe first ad
mission be bad ever beard from the Demo
cratic aide of the Senate that tbere bad ever
been or could be aueh thing as treason
against this government, or that designa
tion aa an ally of the Cenlcderacy waa dis
creditable or opprobrious.
With somewbst elaborate affluence of
dlotlen, tbe senator from Indiana bad
objeetod te tbe statements msde by him In
reference te Demccratle leaders wbe bad
been Union generals.
Recurring te the Fit Jehn Perter letter,
Mr. Ingalla read with emphasis and with
out oemmont, Its assertion tbat tbe writer
bad alwaya been in sympathy with South
ern men.
Geerge B. MeClellan, Mr. Ingalla said,
waa tbe Intimate frlend and companion of
Fllz Jehn Perter.
General McCIellan's record sag soldier
baa been passed upon by history, and the
senator from Indiana cannot place blm
in tbe category wltb Napeleon and Hanni
bal and Cumr. Te blm baa been attrib
uted by Genersl Hoeker the failure of a
great campaign. He read McClellan'a letter
te Presldent Lincoln in favor of a humane
method of warfare, ote. He would pass te
MeClellan aa a politician .and presidential
candidate. He bad accepted nomination en
a platform declaring tbe war te bee failure.
Mr. Ingalla read extracts from newspapers
aud books declaring tbe vote for MeClellan
te have been a OenieJerate and a disloyal
vote and bla auppert a disloyal support
When Abraham Lincoln was elected be re
signed bla commission snd passed into his
tory. General Wlnfield Hoett Hsnoeck waa an
ideal corps commander, well named Han Han Han
oeok tbe superb, affectionately admired
and Justly beloved by tbe American
people. He was one of a band of military
leaders whose name must live forever and
whose fame waa cf tbe blgheat He, tee,
however, bad In time boeome tainted with
tbe vlrun of ambition, and bad coveted pe.
II Ileal advancement, aud became the can
didate of tbe Democracy, His erder num
ber forty could net be forgotten. Southern
men bad found In Hancock a man willing
te co operato wltb tbem and from the tlme
of bis celebrated order and letter, censtru
ing bis principle, of consututlensl law be
bad for many years, and until bla nomina
tion in 1880, been in sympathy with tbe
party wblcb finally made blm ltscsBdl
dste. Gee Hancock's famous correspondence
wjtb Governer Pease could net be approved
by tbesa wbe take the loyal view of tbe
results or tbe war.
Tbe American people In 1880 pasaed upon
tbe career of General Hancock. Despite
bla brilliant military record and bis great
achievements tbe people bad te take into
consideration bis reconstruction record, and
he bad received tbe votes of tbe solid Seuth
and virtually tbat alone. Mr, Ingalla aald
that If tbe crlties of bis recent speech bad net
understood tbat be referred te MeClellan
and Hancock aa politicians rather than aa
soldiers, they mustbe very dull and stupid,
or disingenuous, He feared tbat Ibey were
betb. In listening te acne of the indignant
replies te hla statements be bad beard such
tributes te MeCIellan and Hacoeck that be
had begun te wonder wbe it really was
tbat put down the rebellion. lie had been
given te understand tbat It waa tbe apex of
presumption for such a man aa himself te
speak In bebalt of tbe fame of Union gen
erals. He bad inferred It waa Ibe mission of
Copperheads aud iiutternula and Knights
of the Gelden Circle te assume tbe task of
defending tbe fair fame and memory et
Union generals and Uulen soldiers, The
senator from Indiana bad assumed tbla
task, yet tbat senator in 1862 bad ad
vised Union soldiers te go te the
nearest blscksmltb shop and bave iron
cellars made and placed upon tbem
inscribed "Lincoln's Deg." He bad de
nounced all Union men as Lincoln's dogs
andlbad net excepted Hancock and Mo Me
CIellan. The senator from Indiana
bad, In 1604, denounced Lincoln, the
martyr president, as s monster, an
unhappy felon, reeking wltb the gore
of tbe hundreds of thousands of sol
diers needlessly and wantonly sacrificed
He had denounced Lincoln In tbese awful
terms ; he had urged tbat at tbe close ef'hls
first term that great president should be
allowed te retire te his dlshonsBtebscurlty,
the senator from Indiana bad In 1SC4 do de do
elared tbe war a failure.
Mr. Ingalla then came te the repent dlr.
ctifslen of the se-called trauil et 187C, which
Democratic senators bad recently found
renewed occasion te denounce. He
hid opposed the cloetoral commis
sion and bad never been specially
enamored of Mr. Hayes, but as the ques
tion was rslsed, be must say that tbe title
et Mr. Hayes te the presidency wss the
most Irretragtble ever bold by an occupant
or the White Heuse.
His title bad been passed upon by a tri
bunal organlred In accordance wllh conatl cenatl conatl
tutlenal methods.
Democratic sensters should net forget tbat
the eleoteral commission was a Domecratlo
device. It originated In Domecratlo purposes
and was ene et these cases In which he tbat
dlggeth a pit for bia brother faHelh Inte the
pit
The Democratic Intercat in the electoral
oennt became languid and Inert when an
Inserutable providenoo bad led te changes
whleh resulted In Its status becoming 8 te
7 In favor of Mr. Hayes.
