THE NEW SUPREME JUSTICE.
As the reports advise, there was
some sharp debate over the confirm
ation of the latest appointment to
the Supreme Bench, but the thing
was finally achieved and Mai loo. Pit
ney, of New Jersey, will assume the
duties of Justice.
There was some strenuous objec
tion based on the allegation that
Chancellor Pitney had net favored or
ganised labor in his decisions, but
the merit of that contention had not
appealed very strongly to the public
mind, and evidently had little or no
weight before the Senate. In char
acter and professional equipment it
appears from all sources of informa
tion that Chancellor Pitney fills,
the bill in every respect. Governor
Wilson does not hesitate to say as
much, and we may note with pleas
ure and as a significant fact, that
Wiliiam J. Bryan had no objections
to urge.
Undoubtedly it is a matter of em
barrassment to pick the best man
for a position on the Supreme Bench.
The public mind is so sensitive about
the character and qualifications of
the man who may be chosen, that va
uable men are sometimes denied the
office because of some unpopularity.
At best, it is hardly possible to se
lect a man who is above criticism
from some source As a prerequisite
to appointment, the man selected
should have had years of judicial
experience, and in that experience is
involved the decision of many cases
where interests and opinions have
clashed. In a spirit of self-justifica
tion, we are likely to consider tliat
decision :ust which accords w th our
interests or our opinions, and if
issues have been tense. y drawn, there
is bound to come from the defeated
side, the charge of injustice, or, at
least, of bias thai unfits the Judge
for so high an office. All this has
been apparent m the recent select
ions for the Supreme Court, aud
there is less objection of this sort
to Justice Pitney than to others.
How doth the busy bee improve
eAch shining hour. likewise, tne
S?agway politicians.
JAPANESE STATESMAN
DENOUNCES EXCLUSION.
TOKIO, March 22 ? Count Hatt^ri,
a member of the opposition in the
Japanese House of Representatives,
condemned today Senator Dillin^
taai s bill amending the immigration
lavs of the United States as an in
sufferable insult, to Japan.
The Japanese Government's will
ingness to participate in the Panama
Exposition, he said, was contxadk tory
to Japan's honor and interest.
No reply was made from the gov
ernment side, hut one of *the mem
bers of the cabinet promised a writ
ten response would be given later.
Senator Dillingham's bill provides
for the exclusion o< laborers and
artisans of races ineligible for Amer
ican naturalization. It was under
stood that this meant both Japan
ese and Chinese, and later, on the
suggestion of Senator Lodge, the
cl&use was amended so that the Jap
anese would not be offended.

SEA POSTOFFICES.
Handling and Sorting the Mail Matter
on Ocean Liners.
Every one Is aware that a large quan
tity of mail comes from Europe. Prob
ably most persous assume that It Is
dumped off the steauiers in bulk and
sorted and routed ia the postofflee of
the receiving port. Such a system
would result In hopeless congestion,
and practically all of the 15.000.000
pounds of foreign mall matter receiv
ed at New York on an average of re
cent years is ready, sorted and sacked
when the steamers make port. This
work is done In the sen post offices
aboard the ships and means days
saved In the tiuie of delivery of mail
matter intended for inland iniiuts.
In the huge mass of mail brought
Into New York each year there are on
an average SO.OOO.OOO separate pieces,
many thousands with Inadequate ad
dresses, yet to such a degree of effi
ciency has the operation of the sea
postolBces been brought and so care
fully is the work done that less than
500 errors are made annually. As the
entire quantity of the ocean mail re
ceived in a year would fill 2,200 stand
ard mail cars an almost incredible ac
curacy is indicated? less than one er
ror of any kind whatever for every
four carloads of mail.
Congress authorized the sorting of ,
mail on board conveying steamships in
1S30. but it was not until the year fol
lowing that any systematic effort was
made to do so. The work of the sea
postofflee is very similar to that of the
railway mail service. On board a
large liner there will be usually two
United States clerks, two in the em
ploy of the country from which the
steamer sails and several subalterns
or porters. Tills force will on an aver
age trip open and sort from S00 to 000
sacks -of mail, probably consisting of
COO.OOO ordinary letters and 4.000 reg
istered letters, besides 250.000 par
cels and periodicals. Mail for New
York city is distributed and separate
ly socket! for each of the stations and
that for the United States generally j
according to a schedule which has 12S ;
divisions. In addition to the mail for ]
the United States, the sea postofflee
clerks must sort that destined for Cu
ba. Mexico. Canada and the orient a
great deal of the last class being for- ,
warded by mil to San Francisco and
thence by steamer.
To facilitate matters two mail boats
are maintained at New York, and these
meet incoming steamers at the quar
antine station, one taking on the mail
bags intended for direct delivery to
trains and steaming directly to the
railway stations along the river front,
the other that for New York city and
such others as require rehandling. The
sea postoffices cost the government
something less than $3,000,000 per an
num.? Harper's.
Faith in our fellow man seldom
reaches the point of thinking that he
can manage our affairs better than we
can.
A woman's idea of martyrdom is
wearing her husband's favorite color
when it is trying to tier complexion.
A man never really knows what it Is
to be bossed till his daughter turns six
teeu
If the people of the world were given
their one l*est wish they would be
about equally divided U'tween a heap
of money and a good digestion.
