Chief Justice Fuller rendered an
important decision in the United
States Supreme Court last week
The case in point was that of a de-
ceased insolvent. who held policies,
in which his wife and children were
named as bene6ciaries. The creditors
of the deceased brought suit uponthe
grounds that the amounts named in
the policies were part of the assets
of the deceased and were, therefore,
liable for his debts. Chief Justice
Fuller decided that such was not the
case and that the amount of the poll
cies should g OTTO the benefciaries
named therein.

LORD SALISBURY'S SDCCESS.

lord Salisbury has become most success
full tactician in party management. Since the
opening of the present session he has steadily
strengthened the position of the Government
by q series of adroit manGuvres. lie has
amended the rules of procedure in the Com
mons and effectually prevented obstruction.
He has carried the Consols Conversion bill.
most important and comprehensive measure
for the reduction of interest on the entire
National debt. through the committee stage
before the Easter recess. He has introduced
Local Government bill dealing with both Lon
don and the English counties in the bOldest and
most progressive spirit. The passage of this
measure is already assured, since the Oppo-
sitiOn benches have welcomed it with sympa-
thetio shouts of approval. 1T is one of the
most democratic schemes of legislation ever
proposed in the Commons. and its enactment
will establish new landmark in English his
tory. The session promises to be a memorable
one since the conversion of the debt and tho
reorganization OF the functions of local gov
ernmcnt will be achievements of extraordinary
magnitude.
Lord Salisbury. while persisting in keeping
Irish questions in the back ground. has sue
cceded in removing the block on English legis-
lation. While he maintains perfect discipline
in the Conservative ranks and strengthens the
bonds of the Unionist alliance. he disarms the
Opposition by presenting radical measures OF
the highest utility. He has displayed con-
summatc sagacity alike in discerning political
forces and adapting his policy to the conditions
of public opinion. In accomplishing these re-
suits at the expense of the Home Rule cause
Lord Salisbury has been favored by the polti-
cal exigencies of the two independent parties
the Irish Nationalists and the Liberal Union
lists. Mr. Parncll has been under obligations
to keep his followers under restraint both in
the Commons and in the island for the sake of
maintaining friendly relations with the Glad
stonians. The Home Rule alliance has pre-
vented the recurrence of obstruction tactics
and the outbreak Of agrarian crime. 1t has
facilitated the work of the Government both
in Ireland and in the Commons. In like
manner the attitude Of the Liberal -Unionis!s
has been helpful. Lord Harrington and his
followers. while willing to sanction the Gov
crnmcnvs Irish policy. have required the pre-
sentation of progressive measures for England
which they could support as consistent Lib
erals. Here was the excuse for bringing
New-York tribune., 1888-03-23
BIENNIALS IN MASS/CHUSET IT'S.

Massachusetts, elects her Governor and other
State officers annually. good many Of her
citizens who are close students Of public affairs
are convinced that the common veal would
be conserved by less frequent resort to the
ballot-box. These persons have been vainly
laboring for number of years to have an
amendment to the Constitution providing for
biennial elections submitted to the people.
The Legislature Of 1SS3-not TO go further
back-passed resolution which. il it had been
ratified by the Legislature Of 1884. would have
insured popular vote on the proposed amend
ment But although the Senate of 1884 iati-
fled the resolution of the preceding year. it
was defeated in the House. Nothing dauntcd
.howcver. BY this failure the friends Of the
amendment rallied the following year and
succeeded in getting the necessary resolution
through the Legislature. but their labors were
again brought to naught by the Legislature of
1886. Very little was heard from these re-
formers last year, but during the present ses-
sion they have been making vigorous fight.
II looks to an outsider as though the BIZ
cnnial election amendment would have been
adopted In Massachusetts long before this. had
Il not been linked TO an amendment providing
for biennial sessions of tho Legislature. The
friends OF the former would have done well TO
have insisted all along on division OF tho
question. since there is no cogent reason in the
nature of things why each Of the two propo-
sitions should not have been passed upon sepa-

forward Local Government bill Of most
radical character.
The Premier was compelled to consider the
political exigencies Of his allies. who had made
sacrifices in deserting their own party and In
uoholdine coercion. II his Tory colleagues
objected to the democratic features OF the
Local Government scheme. he had only to re-
mind them of the necessity Of keeping falth
with the Unionits. who must have legislation
On broad, liberal lines. Each alliance has been
sineularly helpful to the Premier during Inc
present session With this adventurous AID
from friends and foes he has thrown out MI.
parnelps bill without risk to the Government
and will continue to resist with impunity the
inst demands Of the island. II it becomes
necessary to extend the provisions OF the Local
Government bill to Ireland in order to secure
its passage, he can hold Lord Harrington re-
sponsible for the amendment and acquiescc in
tho movement under pressure OF political
necessity. Lord Salisbury seems certain to be
stronger at the end of the session than he was
at the beginning.
New-York tribune., 1888-03-23

TIE TRIBUNE few weeks ago called atten-
ton to the wretched way In which bills were
being printed since Mr.. Graves took charge OF
the Bureau Of Engraving and Printing. Inc
poor character Of the work was shown 70 90
due to the substitution. from motives Oh
economy. of steam for hand presses. since
then committee Of the House has been making
an investigation. and its report ought to oe
interesting reading. One point discovered TO
which we direct particular attention. is that IL
is understood that the reason why our TWO
cent stamps are green instead OF terra-cot'a "
that green ink works better on the steam
presses. Did the House Postal Committee
know this when it reported in favor OF tho
abominable green stamp? The responsibility
for this stamp has heretofore been laid on
clerk. but now it seems that Mr.. Clevelands ap-
pointee at the head of the Bureau is the guilty
man.
