THE E4U,S DELAY.

The With article of our State Constitution,
which was adopted by the Constitutional Con-
vention of 1S67-'68, provided for the reorgan-
ization of the Court of Appeals and for COM
mission of Appeals. The original Court OF APP
meals was composed OF eight judges. The Court
as reorganized was composed of chief judge
and six associate judges, to be elected for four
toen wears. The Commission was composed OF
five Judges, to hold until the causes committed
70 il were determined, but not exceeding three
wears. After three years all cases undetermined
were to be heard by the Court OF Appeals. In
1872 the Constitution was again amended so as
TO provide that the Legislature might extend
the term of service of the Commission, not eX-
cecding two years. The Legislature did extend
the term two years, the Commission not expiring
until 1879.
If is now seriously proposed again to amend
the Constitution in order to enlarge the court
of Appeals 1t is understood that when that
court last adjourned there were no fewer than
800 cases on ITS calendar waiting for hearing
If s not pretended that the Judges do NOT dls-
nose of cases with reasonable celenty' Inc
simple truth would appear to be that they are
overtaxed 1t is likely that the present Legs
l3ture will be asked to enact some measure OF re-
lief. The Commission of Appeals may be revived
or the Court of Appeals may be enlarged A pro =
position, originating, it is said, with the veteran
Judge Ingalls, of the Rensselaer, district looks
| to the enhancement of the Court of Appeals so
that it shall be composed of not less than twelve
Judges. He would divide the enlarged court
| into four sections, one to consider real estate
questions, another criminal matters, ana so on.
HIS proposition also looks to the abolition OF all
the general terms and the appellate powers OF
| intermediate courts
The subject is one of vital Importance. The
laws delay in some instances amounts to
denial Of Justice. In nearly every instance it IS
attended with serious inconvenience to blame
less persons But our people, who have just
made provision for a large increase OF Supreme
| Court Judges will doubtless feel like resting a
little before putting another annex upon any
| Bench.

DrlrB or 4 GERMAN LEADER.

i
Rv the death of DR.. Lasker, which has oc-
cu,1cd suddenly in this city, German Liberalism
loses one of its most distinguished leaders.
He WAS associated with Herr Won Bcnnisscn III
the political direction OF the great party which
gave Prince Bismarck loyal support during the
campaigns with Austria and France and the early
years of the Empire That party comprised Il
group of brilliant orators and progressive states
men. Herr Won BcnniEscn was the natural
leader, being master of Parliamentary tactics
and having remarkable aptitude for admins
tration. Rickcrt and Bamberger were ccono-
mists and fnanciers emncntly qualified Tor
managing the National budget Richter was an
rIoournt dcbatcr; Professor llaenel was most
persuasive speaker and ingenious controversies
ist; and Fockcnbcck was a man possessing
many of the characteristics OF an ideal Minister.
In this group DR.. Lasker was prc-emlncntly the
greatest lawyer. In debate ne had the readiness
of a practiscd advocate, coupled with that
ponderOus elOquence, unillumlned by humor
and emphasized mainly by acrid myectlve'
which in Germany passes for the highest type
of parliamentary oratory He would have been
the chosen law-malier of a Liberal Ministry, IL
Prince Bismarck had ever dcigned to tolerate
such political combination He was more
outspoken and concliatOry than his associate,
Bennigsen, and was less inclined to despair OF
| the future of German Liberalism
1t is singular that a political organization
which had for a long time a clear majority IN
the National and Imperial legislatures should
not lave been represented in the Ministry.
At one time Prince Bismarck did make
advances to Bennigsen, but his mood soon
changed; and since the first defeat of the
Socialist Repression act his political influence
has been powerfully exerted against the
Liberals in general elections and i'll ordinary
! legislation The Ministers have been loyal
Kings men from the Conservative ranks,
accustomed to the routine of the departments
and not swaycd by ambition and rcstlcSsness.
The political ideas which they have represented
have lacked positiyeness. They have formed a
class of public functionarics responsible to the
King and Emperor, and Indifferent to the
| debates in Parliament, where the party organ =
cations seemed to maintain their existence only
by opposing Prince Bismarck on one question
| or another. Indeed, the leaders of the Liberal
! group. who have been excluded from Office not
withstanding their pTc-CminCnt fitness Tor IT,
have apparently been confused and disconnected
by the aimlcssncss of party action. Bcnngscn
withdrew from public life in despair last
summer, convinced that Liberalism could not
acquire its political rights during the present
generation. The party now loses III Dr.. La>hcf
another most influential orator and dcbater.

Mr.. Punchs verses on the Dublin banquet

Since the assassination of President Garfield,
at the beginning of July, 1881, railway stocks
and bonds have suffered an astonishing decline.
Including only about half of the stocks alone
that are listed on the Ncw-Nork Stock TX

been about S6O0,OOO,GOo. The following are
a few of the most con,picuou. examples:

fail.
The bill which the Senate Committee on the
Preservation of the Adirondacks has prepared
is an excellent measure so far az 1t goes. IL
provides for the appointment of three Lana
Commissioners to take entire charge OF the
States forests. These officers would have power
20 draw up such regulations as they should deem
necessary to protect the river sources, ana also
have authority to prevent any destructive use
of the woodlands held by private citizens. Inc
wisdom of such a commission cannot be queS-
toned but pretty extensive powers VIII nave
To be given to it to make its work really Yalu-
able. 1t is to be noted that there is strong
opinion among men well-informed on 'he
subject against the States buying any lahu.
If the watersheds can be properly protecteu
without great cost so much the better 1here
are certain tracts which the Commonwealth
ought to have; but $4,000 is now approprl-
ated annually for the purchase OF such acres
and if that amount, or even little more is ex-
nendcd iudciously much good can be accom-
nlished by it, There is one danger always
threatening the Adirondacks which would give
the proposed commission trouble; and that Is
danger from fire. The first time we nave
long drouth this will be apparent.

the boy has continued TO smoke evcrything-pipes,
cigars, cigarettes. Nextmonth he will have reached
tho advanced age of four years, and the spectacle
of this fat little baby boy in kilt skirts. pulling
away on black. strong cigar, with the air OF a
man of fifty is said to attract unbOunded amuse-
ment and admiration from the patrons Of his
fathers salOon.p The announcement is made that
he never drinks wine or beer Doctors declare that
all his functions are in normal condition All these
statements are vouched for as true. If they are
so this infant phenomenon ofrea life ismore horTi-
BILE than any ever dreamed of in fiction.
The statement which appeared IN The Boston Globe,
and was telegraphed to THE TRIBUNE, thai the wife,
or alleged wife, of Robert A. Murray, the Boston
broker accused Of raising money on forged mort
cages was a daughter Of the late Edward Ridley,
the wel-known dry-goods merchant of Grand-st.,
IN this city, turns ont to be absolutely without
foundation. Those who know the high character
of the Ridley family will not need this contradic-
ton of 50 absurd report and THE TRIBUNE re-
grcts having given inadvertently any currency to
the story of the Boston newspaper.
In the old days Teunnyson sang
Tears, lille tears, I know not what thcy mean
There are tears in his eyes again, but he knows
what these mean. lie has been crying his eyes out
with anger and modification upoa reading Mr..
Tupper's letter to The London Tines commencing
the elevation of the Laureate 70 the Peerage. The
new Baron has been sharply criticised all over the
country for descending from Parnassus to accept
an antI-cmaX honor. Bat fun will cease to be
poked at him, the pens of those that satirzed him
Will be dropped, and the people Of the United
States as one man will find their hearts going out
to him in sympathy IN this hour of his Tuppcrian
affection.
The people OF Philadelphia earnestly looking
about for ncw Mayor, and it has been suggested
by The TbHad.iphia record that Mr.. George W.
ChiIds should be seized upon and Put into the Office
aoleas rolsas" This was an excellent nomination,
and il is q pity Mr. Childs could not see his way
clear TO accepting it, But he evidently preferred to
continue to devote himself to The IUblc Le7ger, and
announced, with many thanks for the friendly sug-
gestion of brother editor, that he could not be
canGidate-"not even aoiws ro'e8s." Thus Phila-
lelphia loses the chance of getting an excellent
Mayor and Mr. Childs will not divorce himself
even for a time, from his newspaper.
