A PERTINENT inquiry at this

A PERTINENT inquiry at this
time is, have we privileged

are that we have. Men are ar
rested for violations of law
and never tried. That
others are tired and fined

privileged characters be abol-
ished and every man tried on
the nle<itS of his case, and if
found guilty icss him pc punish

The Washington Star says: The Nir-
ginia readjusters will have the power,
this winter. to enforce their financial poll
lev. without let or hindrancc. They stand
pledged to settlement of the State debt
upon the terms of the Riddleberger bill,
which cuts the principal down from S33,-
900. 900 to s20. 900. 600. This will be the first
business of the legislature. which meets
in December. Governor Cameron will,
Of course, approve the measure, and rs
the creditors will resist it, the matter will
then 90 to the supreme court, or court of
appeals, as 1t is termed. There can be
no doubt of the decision of this court in
favor of the constitutonality of the Rid
dleberger bill. because the readiuSter leg
islature will have the composition of the
court in its own hands With a single ex-
ception the terms of the Judges of the
present court of appeals expire next year.
and the duty of electing their successors
will devolve upon the legislature. The
readjusters make no secret of their inten-
ton to elect judges pledged to the Riddle
berger bill The States creditors will in
the natural order Of things, appeal to the
United States Supreme Court.

An IMPORTANT
Decision Rendered in the Supreme Court
of the United States.

WAsuINGToN, Nov. IA decision was rem
dered in the Supreme Court of the United
States TODAY, in the case Davis & Patrick VS..
Wells, Fargo 4 Co, which settles some
points in the law of guaranty that hitherto
have been subjects of controversy. The
court holds that where lin consideration of
one dollar to him in hand paid, A executes
and causes to be delivered to b unconditional
agreement, and guarantees payment up to
the amount of C's present and future indebt-
edness to said b, it is not necessary for B to
formally notify the guarntee or A. of his ac-
ceptance of the terms of the agreement, or
to keep the latter informed from time to
time, of C's fiuctuating Indebtedness. In
the opinion of this court. the written instru-
ment is completed contract. The payment
of the guarantee. or of a stipulated consid-
Grafton. is sufficient notice to him that his
agreement is accepted.

ing. Mr.. +. X. Martin, of Martin Run
Won. Wall St, brokers, produced Nugents
drafts negotiated by them for Baldwin.
Nugent's counsel examined Martin to
show that Baldwin had large stock transac-

Badwin's wife's name, but the amounts in
volved were not 5000. His brother Theo-
dore, the bank teller, also had account which
became so large that Oscar was notified.
He appeared surprised. but afterwards
said it was all right. The account increased,
and sometimes he sent for $50. 900 TO $40, 900
in cash for margins, by a messen ger, and
they had borrowed from him much as TO-
600 shares of stock, representing million
dollars at par. Martin finally ordered that
the account be closed, as he preferred not to
have such large dealings with person hold
ing position of trust. The case was then
adjourned till Saturday.
