So soon as the news arrived that the arch.
bishop of New York was TO be the first
American cardinal he was interviewed by
an industrious reporter. He had received
no official notification of the fact, but be-
leved the announcement was correct. This
elevation would, be said, not ncessitate the
selection of o new archbishop for New
York, nor would it necessarily increase bis
jurisdiction or powers. In a council oil
arcbbishops and bishops, however, a cardi
nal would rank the highest.

We do not think that the bill introduced
nv Mr., Gilman in the House Of Delegates to
counteract the cyil-rights law is a wise or
proper measure at this time. 1t would be
sure to involve conflict of jurisdiction be-
tween State and Federal courts, and will be
used to the benefit of the Radical party iu
the elections of next year. Sound policy, ii
seems to us, would suggest the propriety OF
allowing a case TO be made up and 20 before
the Supreme Court to settle the constitution.
