rur 1IST OF THE BLACK ACT

The Marouis of RipOn, after long and STUD
horn fight with the officials of British India, mas
practically abandoned the Ilbert bill. ms
measure. denounced by the foreign residents as
the BLACK Act, embodied a principle which was
warmly advocated by Lord Dalhousie, one OF
the greatest of the line of Viceroys, and also by
Lord Macaulay. 1t was a proposal to give the
native tribunals jurisdiction over Europeans,
the principle being applied on an exceedingly
small scale. The immediate erect Oh inc acC
would be to invest two native judges with pow
ers of jurisdiction over Europeans, and IN the
course of decade the same privileges womb DC
conferred upon half dozen additional Judges
This was not startling innovation; yet 1t was
assaulted with passionate vehemence by Army
officers. members of the Civil Service and British
residents generally Rarely has so fierce an
agitation against a Government measure Deeh
organized even in India where the slightest
concession to the native population In matter
of natural equity is invariably looked upon as a
fatal blow TO a system of administration based
on the personal privileges OF the ruling class
The result of this prolonged struggle Is the
virtual abandonment of the bill. The Marquis
of Ripon has given an official announcement OF
amendments which will render it imperative.
One of these amendments authorizes the Gov
eminent 70 remove cases from the native to the
Europeon tribunals whenever it shall appear
that fair trial before the native judge is un-
likely. With such an amendment the act IL re-
duced at once to the level of a farce. The REM
nant of the measure will probably be passed.
Int il can never be enforced against European
residents. The Marquis of Ripon will return to
England at the expiration of his term with the
consciousness of having excited the resentment
of his countrymen in India, and having waged
an unsuccessful conflict with the intolerance OF
a superior race The unpOpularity at home
which followed his conversion to the Roman
Church has not been retrieved abroad by vigor-
ous administration and progressive reforms in
the interest of a subjuGated population. AT the
same time his position will be more logical than
that of the defenders of British rule in India
4 great deal has been said in the Government
halls at Calcutta and in the houses of Parlia-
ment about the improvement OF the native Civil
Service and the bcncliccnt effects of European
civilization in creating n feeling Of confidence
between conquerors and conquered. Yet the
flower of that highly praised Civil Service, two
native magistrates trained under English tuition
and essentially European in their ideas cannot
be trusted to deal equitably with British resi-
dents

MODERN MIRACLES.

The London Spectator, reviewing book on tho
miracles of LOurdes, observes that whether
miracles occur or not depends very much on
what the true definition of miracle should be,
"but that events all but indistiDguishable from
q what the Christian world used to regard as
"miraclcs occur in considerable number, and in
connection with almost every description of
" faith and want of faith, would be the cOnclu-
" sion of any person of competent judgment who
chad given his mind to the investigation of
@the subject, without any sort of bias either In
u favor of or against them" The Spectator Is
here referring, as may be Judged from the con-
text, to the frequent alleged miraculous cure Of
disease.
Now Hume, in his famous essay on mir
miracles, referred particularly to some noted
cases of this kind, among which those said to
have occurred Mt tho tomb of the Abb6 Paris,
the Jansenist, are acknowledged by Hume to
be supported by an amount and quality of evil
dence sufficient to establish their reality, but
for the assumption that miracles are violation
OF natural law, and therefore impossible. An
other case, that of tho niece Of Pascal. nun at

THE DUTY OF THE BAR ASSOCIATION.
The Bar Association of this city has for its
special subject of discussion at its meeting next
Tuesday evening the question whether, in seek
ing to bring to punishment lawyers who have
been guilty of fraudulent or disgraceful meth
DDS of practice, it shall confne itself to those
who are its Owl members. Can any sound
reason be given for such a termination OF the
Associations work If the purpose is merely to
preserve the good name and character of the
Association as a lawyers club, and to keep it
from Objectionable members, then its previous
course is a consistent one. But If, as has so
often been said within its own walls, and as was
proclaimed with so much emphasis when the
Association was first organized it was created
for the purpose of maintaining the honor and
dignity of the profession of the law" and of
promoting the due administration of justice"
what palmer duty can lie before it than to clear
the ranks of the profession of those who are
doing all they dare to rob it of its honor and
dignity and Obstruct and degrade the admins
tration of justice9
To say that it shall pursue only its own mem
bers is practically to conclude to do nothing in
this direction. For it is fair to presume that
lHc membership OI Ine ASSOCldUlOH Is CHOStH
with sufficient care to exclude that class of
practitioners whose methods are most per-
nicious, and who especially deserve prosecu-
ton. And If this Association does not take up
the task, it certainly will remain undone. The
District Attorneys Office may well claim that it
is beyond its powers or functions, and there is
no other organization or body of men that has
the same interest or the same ability to do it as
this society. While it is standing idly by,
the number Of these legal sharks who are dis
grazing our courts, the city and the profession
is fast increasing. The General Term of the
Supreme Court has shown in marked degree
its disposition to cooperate with the Associa-
ton in such work, by referring to it the ques
ton whether n certain disbarred lawyer should
be reinstated, and by acting on that opinion.
Now let the Bar Association meet the General
Term half way at least.
