There are now left only two democratie judges on the United States supreme bench. It is not yet known whethe President Harrison will, in the four weeks left of his term, endeavor to select another Republican in the place of the late1 J.ustice Lamar. He would certainly do so if it were not for the danger that the Democrats would stave off his confirmation until after Cleveland's inauguration. The election of John Martin, a democrat, from Kansas to the U. S. senate must have been beyond the wildest dreams of that state when the election of 1888 showed a majority of 80,159 for Harrison in Kansas. That year Martin ran for governor on the democratie ticket and was beaten by 73,361 votes. If another senator can be gained from any of tha doubtful states, the next United States senate will be democratie. On Monday last two more deaths of the great men of the country were chronicled, increasing the rapidly growing role of prominent men who have died in 1893. Bishop Phillips Brooks, the greatest pulpit orator in this country or England, so acknowledged by members of dif - feient churches, died in the prime of life, and on the same day Justice Lamar, of the United States supreme court, also joined the great majority. The year 1893 bids fair to be notable for the number of deaths of prominent public men.
