In 1809 he was elected without opposition to represent the counties of Clark and Cumberland in the) constitutional convention. In 1870 he was appointed general solicitor tor Illinois of the Vaudaiia railroad, a place which he resigned three years later to go on the supreme bench, being elected over Judge Kingsbury, of HUlsboro, to till tho vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge Thornton. For a year before his election he was associated iu the practice of law with Judge Jacob Wilkin. In 1879 Judge Scholfield was reelected without opposition, republicans as well as democrats casting their votes for him. He was again elected in 1888.

Offered the Chief Justiceship, Judge Scholfield would have diod chief justice of tho United States supreme court but for his reluctance to enter upon anew life at Washington. While no direot offer of the appointment is known to have been made by President Cleveland it is generally believed that Judge Scholfield was authoritatively sounded upon his willingness to accept the appointment afterward devolving upon Melville Fuller.'

A VEXED QUESTION.

How,.t,o Solve the Present FlnanJ' ciaj Problem.

FOSTER AND THE GOLD SITUATION.

The N«er«lary of the Treasury Confers with t' \v York Financiers Th. 1'reaUlcnt la Opposed to tlie

Issuing of lioiida.

CONFF.WtKD AllOt'T GOI.D.

NEW YORK. Feb. 1-t.—The gold situation continues to be the one absorbing factor of the financial condition, to such an extent that Secretary of the Treasury Foster continued to hold conferences with New York bankers in the Fifth Avenue hotel Sunday. Among the number was Banker Jesse Seligman, who had a protracted talk with the secretary while the latter was at breakfast. It is positively stated that the secretary is at present opposed to tho policy of refunding by means of the issue of ¥50,000,000 of 3 per cent, bonds for the purpose of replenishing the gold in the treasury. He has not yet, however, concluded his conference with the bankers. Mr. Foster will return to the eapital thoroughly informed as to tho views of New York financiers, for he had conferences with many well-known bank presidents Sunday as well. Among those he met were President Tappan, of the Gallatin national bank President l'erkins, of the Importers' and Traders': President Henry W. Cannon, of the Chase national, and President IJaker, of the First national. It was said yesterday that if it was decided to issue the £."0,000,000 bonds it would have to be done very quickly, as the present administration has but three weeks to live. It was said that President-elect

Cleveland and Senator Carlisle, who will sueeeed Mr. Foster, will also be consulted.

Don't Want the Hontlt.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—When Secretary Foster went to New York on Saturday ho carried with him the president's emphatic order to issue no new bonds until the last possible moment. The bonds have, according to high authority, been printed and are ready for delivery. It was the intention of the secretary to issue them when in New York. It transpires that at the cabinet meeting on Friday he laid the scheme before the president, and that the latter, after some discussion, put his foot down and declared that no bonds should be issued during his administration if by any possible means it could be be avoided. The president said that when he came into this office the treasury had gold iu abundance and was overflowing with an immense surplus. The ivlea that on the eve of his going out of office the surplus was gone and S.")0,000,000 of bonds hud to be issued to protect the national credit was distasteful to him, and he decided that If possible bonds should not bo issued. The secretary said to the president, as early in the week he had said to ex-Senator Carlisle "The bonds must be issued."

Foster In a Fi*.

Tho president inquired into the exact statu of the treasuiy and was told that there was not over $5,000,000 in gold above the reserve. The president questioned tho secretary about the proposition of the New York bankers to advance gold on greenbacks, and was told that the New York bankers expected the bonds would be issued, that the greenbacks would be redeemed by them and that if their expectations were checked the flow of their gold into the national treasury would cease. The secretary strongly advised that they be issued. The president admitted that if all the gold above the reserve was gone it would be necessary to make the issue, but he insisted that the issue should not be made until the last gold dollar was gone.

The secretary informed the president that he had made the agreement for the bonds, that it was upon the basis of that agreemeut that the banks had advanced tho gold, but the president was immovable and the secretary was compelled to wire to New York bankers that tho agreement could not be immediately parried out, but to wait his arrival next day. It is reported. that the bankers immediately withdrew from the treasury the bulk of tho gold they had advanced. The secretary saw the president again early Saturday morning, but the president was still immovable, and with an almost humiliated air the secretary departed for New York.

Sherman to the Rescue.

In the meantime the president had consulted with Senator Sherman. The latter told him that the exigency was great and tho issuing of the bonds almost inevitable. He suggested, however, that a saving of 1 per cent, in the interest might be made by getting a bill through congress granting authority to the secretary of the treasury to make the issue at 3 per cent, instead of at 4 per cent. The president requested him to do what he could to secure such legislation, and on Saturday Senator Sherman took the fli'st step by introducing an amendment to the first appropriation bill to give the secretary tho desired authority. The belief is that congress will give its consent and that the bonds will bo issued within the week. Should congress refuse to give its consent the bonds will be issued at 4 per cent. The president has strong hopes that the necessity for issuing the bonds will not come before March 4.

MHJ una the Reserve Fund. There are now in the treasury $100,000,000 of gold, whioh has been set asido as a "reserve" for the redemption of logal tenders. There is high authority for saying that so firm is President Harrison in his position against the issue of bonds thatlie would direct the payment of this "reserve" in the redemption of legal tenders before he would authorize a boud issue. This "legal-tender reserve" was set aside

THE DAILY JOURNAL

by this administration for the redemption of legal tenders and if need be it will be used for that purpose and at this time.

TO INAUGURATE GROVER.

WASHINGTON, Fob. 14.—The work of the committees having charge of tho ceremonies incident to the inauguration of President-elect Cleveland is progressing satisfactorily.

The senate judiciary committee Monday morning in a very brief session decided to report favorably tho nomination. The democratic members stated that they would no longer oppose the report to the senate, but intimated that they reserved the right to take such steps as they saw fit when the question of confirmation came before the senate itself.

WASHING TON, Feb. 14.—Secretary of State Foster did not receive the Hawaiian commissioners Monday because his time was occupied in attendance upon the conferrnoe of the American delegates to the late monetary conference at Brussels.

Which Will Not KndRMger Imperial Unity—Nome Others ol Its ProvUions.

FOR IRISH llOMK lifl.K.

I'.ONiioN, Feb. 14.—The seenc.s at the opening of parliament, upon the occasion of the beginning of the real fight for Irish home rule, will long be remembered. Wliile Mr. Gladstone yet slept the palace yard was crowded with members and throngs of people eagerly awaiting the opening of the commons. The iuner lobby was packed with members at noon, and when the doors wore opened the members threw aside their dignity and rushed in a disorderly fashion for soats, shouting and struggling for best places. Many were thrown lently to the floor and bruised trampled upon.

the vioaud

Mr. Gladstone entered the house of commons at i:30. Every liberal and Irish nationalist stood up and greeted him with prolonged and enthusiastic cheers. When Mr. Gladstone, arose to introduce the home, rule bill there was another demonstration so enthusiastic aud irrepressible thut it was several minutes before he could be heard. rile Greatest. ICfTort of His I.ifo.

Mr. Gladstone's effort was'undoubtedly one of the greatest of his life. After a full and complete history of Irish legislation, showing llic failure of coercion as a means of producing harmony, he said England's conversion to home rule had been rapid. In 138(5 England's majority adverse to home rule was 311. It has now declined to 71. In face of such a fact, who would guarantee the permanence of the opposition of the remainder? He presented the. salient points of his bill, which he said contained no trenchant change from the principles of the bill of 1S8G. The object of the bill remained, as in 1S80, to establish legislative body in Dublin for the conduct of both legislation and administration in Irish as distinct from imperial affairs.

Provides f»r ait Irish Assembly Continuing the speaker said that the preamblo of his bill was as follows: •••Whereas. It is expedient without impair ing or restricting the supreme authority of parliament,'and then the preamble goes on to declare the creation of the Irish legislature.*' "Power is granted to the Irish legislature which consists, first of all, of a legislative council secondly of a. legislative assembly empowered to make laws for the peace, order and good government of'Ireland in respect to mat ters exclusively relating to Ireland or to a part thereof. That power is subject to a double limitation. First of all, it is subject lo necessary and obvious limitations imposing eerfciin incapacities on the Irish parliament, including all that relates to the crown, a regency or the viceroyaliy. The subjects of pence and war, public defense, treaties and foreign relations, dignities, titles, law and Treason do not belong to the Irish legislature. The luw of alienage does not belong toil nor everything that beloncs to .external trade tho coinage and other subsidiary subjects. Other incapacities are imposed similar to those con laincd in the hill of tfc80. These provided for the security of religious freedom, the safeguard of education and for the security of personal freedom, in which we endeavored to borrow one of the morlern amendments to the American constitution. "Then coming to occlusive powsrs, we retain the vice royalty of Ireland, but wedivrsiitof the party character heretofore borne hy mak ing the appointment run six yours, subject to the revoking power of the crown. Then, also, the post is freed from all religious disability Then comes a clause which may be considered formal, although It is of great importance, providing lor the full devolution of executive power from tho sovereign upon the *ieeroy-'V\

Other Provisions.

Other provisions of the bill, as state by M". (Hailstone, are the establishment of a legislative council, to be elective, and to giro to the minority some means of freer and fuller cousidation nf its views, its members to number forty.ei^ht. with eiifht .vears term of oftiec, the popular assembly to number MM members whose terms shall be five years.

The bill makes provisions for th passage of laws, for a judiciary and for religious freedom and education. It places limitations on the vot ing powers of Irish mem be re to exclude them—first, from voting on a bill or motion expressly confined to Great Britain second, from voting on a tax not levied upon Ireland third, from voting on a vote or appropriation of money otherwise than for the imperial service fourth, from voting on any motion or
