The proposal to adopt the Maryland Code
instead of making 4 new one for this Dis
trict certainly has many advantages TO com.
mend 1t. II is the easiest measure to carry
into effect, It will introduce many useful
reforms. and will very slightly disturb the
settled theory and practice that have pre-.
vailed here since 1901. The great draw back
to any new code is the expense Of the litiga.
ton required TO settle the meaning of its
terms and provisions. The codes that have
been framed for this District have been so
revolutionary IS to increase this probable
expense to the maximum. The trainers
have gone to extremes and upset almost
every doctrine which has been settled by

subjected 10 a long course of careful review
by the courts Of that State, whose decisions
would be available to the cour ts aud law.

The story about secret bar.room adjoining the
old Senate Chamber, where the sllk-robed Justice
Of America passes final verdict upon questions OF
constitutional law, is denied, and truly denied, by
several OF the Justices Of the Supreme Court. The
writer was informed that years ago, when Daniel
Webster was preparing to address the Supreme
Court, then held In the room now occupied by the
law branch Of the Congressional Library, that he
used to fortify himself with draughts from brandy
bottle kept in the Marshals office adjacent. But the
dlguned Justices were never invited to partake.

The American OF to-day who sends his letter,
weighing an ounce, from New York TO San Fran
cisco, In less than week, and for the small sum OF
two cents, can appreciate the rapid advance made
In the rapidiy and cheapness OF our postal service
Prior to Mr.. Folks administration July l. 1sf5) the
rates were somewhat different. "For every letter
composed Of a single sheet OF paper conveyed" not
exceeding 30 miles, the cost was cents; over 80 and
not exceeding 50 miles, 10 cents so and not ex-
ceedlng l6o miles, l2K cents over i50 and not ex-
ceedlng 900 miles, is< cents, and for all dstanc es
over 400 miles, 26 cents and for every double letter.
or letter composed OF two pieces Of paper, double
these rates. and In proportion for additional pieces
OF paper. In those days II would have cost a small
fortune to send letter from New York TO Chicago,
II one ounce weight, while the tariff between New
York and Washington would have been ON an ounce
letter not less than 81 cents. The act OF March Q,
lsib, reduced the charge to cents for any distance
ess than 800 miles, and to 10 cents for any distance
over 800 miles, for every single letter manuscript,
with proportonate rates for additional matter. As
the rates were reduced, the receipts, although fall
ing on for the first year or two, gradually Increased
and this mas been the inyariabe rule since the first
reduction. In July, 1851, letter postage was again
reduced to rate Of cents lprepaid) for every
letter conveyed not exceeding 5000 miles, and 8
cents when not prepaid, and for greater distances
double these rates. Subsequently the rate was re-
duced TO Q cents per half ounce (prepaid) for any
distance, and nnally last year to cents per ounce
for any distance The revenues have slightly fallen
on but will undoubtedly increase gradually until the
postal service again becomes a self supporting ln-
stliuiloD.

THE President in his annual message calls the at
tention Of Congress TO the necessity for remedial
legislation to relieve the over.burdened Federal
courts, in which causes have become 80 numerous
as to amount frequently TO practical denial Of
Justice He indorses the plan Of relief suggested by
Attorney General Garland, the main features Of
which provide for the transfer of all the original
jurisdiction Of the circuit courts TO the district
courts, an increase Of district and circuit Judges
and giving the circuit courts appellant Jurisdiction
only, with restricted limit Of appeal. Also further
restrictions OF the right to cases from State
to Federal courts, and limiting appeals to the su-
preme Court from the District OF Columbia and Terri.
toral courts to the classes Of eases as are al
lowed from State courts.
These recommendations meet with favor But the
difficulty in the way Is political one which reason
and the necessity OF the seem to have no power
to remove. Some legislation was anticipated when
| the Republicans held the Presidency and majority
| In both Houses OF Congress. But none was had.
AS long as the Democrats held the lower House
measures affecting the increase of the judiciary
seemed impossible to pass, as they feared the In
crease would lead to appointments Of an objections
BILE character by a Republican President. Now the
boot Ia on the other leg and Republican Senators do
not seem to to vest In Democratic President the
power TO appoint new judges, although they have in
their own hands the power OF confirmation or rejec-
ton. 1t is great pity that the interests Of ligans
should be permitted to suffer for Of purely
partisan character but there way to recon.
cile these conflicting interests.

THERE is evidently storm brewing in Mr..
Randall's Congressional district, and an ear.
nest effort to defeat his denomination for Con-
gress, or falling that, the dissatisfied element
may try TO beat him by nominating q third
candidate. If this rumpus were based upon dlsa-
greement with Mr.. Randall's tariff views, perhaps
many Democrats might look upon 1t, II not with
favor, at least without regret. The movement, how.
ever, has no such foundation 1t is based entirely
upon grievances growing ont of Federal appoint
ments. Mr.. w. W. Ker, who was hoisted into
notoriety by his blunders in the Star-route cases.
voiced the anmus Of the GROWERS when he said to
reporter that the dissatisfaction with Mr.. Randall
grew ont OF his securing the appointment OF none
"but Randall men to office, thus "lnjuring our
"party and shearing it Of Its strength" And to
strengthen the party he proposed to "run an inde.
"pendent Democratic candidate against Mr.. Randall.
in the Congressional fight In November next In
any such fight Mr.. Randall should have the sym.
pathy and support of every good Democrat. The
purpose to run an independent candidate 10 a con.
fession OF weakness. 1t shows that the dissatisfied
Philadelphia Democrats in Mr. Raudals district are
not numerous enough to defeat him In direct nghi
In party convention. And with all their profused
desire to strengthen the Democratic party" they
prefer Its defeat to the reelection of Mr.. Randall
After ALL is highly probable that the present move
ment will result, all past movements OF the kind
have done, In the denomination and reelection oi
Mr.. Randall, whether an independent candidate II
run or not. We hone so.
