.JUDGE BARRETT on MISCARRI4GES OF
JUSTICE.

Tn the current number Of that well-cOnducted
magazine. "The Forum" is printed an inn
rortant and suggestive article by Mr.. Justice
Darrctt which we have reproduced in full
unop another page. The Judge has fittingly
entitled his PAPER Miscarriages of Justice"
and he seeks both to explain how il happens
that the actions of courts and 1urieS so fire.

what changes in constitutional methods can

to he n serious evil. Recognizing that this evil
is due chiefly to slow and cumbersome judicial
methods and to the uncertainties Of judicial
constructions of the law, he writes with the
practical purpose in view OF giving out hints
that. ~ acted upon, may render litigation both
nnblic and nriyate less difficult of disposition,
less exasnerating to those interested in or af-
fected by il. less slow and tedious of final
solution, less expensive and more certain TO
end in the triumph Of substantial Justice.
Judge Barrett's mental vision is acute and
penetrating and one concludes the reading Of
his observations with regret that he confined
the narration of what he saw, in looking over
ground so comprehensive and interesting.

e0UIANGErs POLITICAL IDEAS.

General Bou'anger knows something, as
Count Won Moltke has succinctly remarked,
about military affairs but he is out of his
natural element in politics. The first definite
proposal which he has made respecting Con-
stitutional revision discloses the barrenness Of
his ideas. At the banquet of his political fol-
lowers he declared that if the question OF the
Dictatorship were raised in the Chamber he
would vote to abolish the Presidency. ii this
is a protest against the dictatorship, il is am
biguous. for the removal Of the Chief Executive
Office would promote the chances OF military
usurpation. II il betokens on the other hand
a conviction on his part that the Presidency is
AN obstacle in the way Of the logical develop
mcnt of democratic institutions his idea OF
Constitutional revision is radical one which
is inspired by "reminiscences Of Robespere's
Convention of the last century. France with
out President, if the Republic were not over
turned, would be governed by the Deputies as
II was hundred years ago. The Deputies now
elect the President. turn out Of Office two Minis

tates the abolition Of the Presidency altogether
no is simply carrying the practice OF the Depu-
tics during the last ten years to its logical cen
clrs;on They have desired to establish the
surremacy of the legislature as governing
bodv and have disturbed the artificial system
If checks and balances provided by the Con-
s,itution. Instead Of restoring inc inuepend-
ence Of the Administration by strengthening
the Presidential functions and limiting the
legislative powers, he is aiming at repro
duction of Robespierres chimerical scheme of
an absolute Chamber.
Additional light is thrown upon General
Boulanger's political designs in the interesting
letter published on another page from our regu-
lar Paris correspondent. In the course OF
frank conversation he emphatically denies that
he stands for any form of Caesarlsm, and as
serts that what he hopes to do is to form party
that will place National interests above the
selfish schemes of faction and lobby. Then ne
adds that American forms of government are
imperatively needed in France, where there
should be administrative stability for fixed
period. The Senate, he also states, should be
armed with the power of confirming the ap-
pointment of high officials. These proposals
seem to betoien habits OF reflection and sound
Judgment on the part of General Boulanger;
but his speech at the Paris banquet shows that
he is incapable of carrying out any OF the ideas
of which he gossips so amiably in familiar con-
yersa,ion with his friends. The abolition OF
the Presidency certainly will not lead to
closer approach to these American forms OF
government of which he asserts there is now
urgent need in France II will simply prolong
and aggravate all the evils of the existing
system of which General Boulanger complains.

THE TRIBUNE directed attention some five
days ago to the absurd situation created by the
Administration in its adjustment OF postal or
rangements between this country and Canada
The shipment of seeds cuttings, etc., through the
domestic mails cost sixteen cents pound, hut TO
and from Canada under the new arrangements only
four cents pound. This put the American seeds
men at great disadvantage as compared with
the Canadians, and the former sought to protect
themselves by mailing goods TO Canada to be re-
mailed there to their customers in this country.
The postmaster-General interfered, however, by
an order. and the seedsmen have been left III TINS
plight until now, when it is rumored that by a
new convention the old rate of sixteen cents a
pound is restored 1t is we'll to have the inequality
removed, but there seems to be no good reason why
the domestic rate should not be reduced to eight
cents, as nearly every Grange in the country has
petitioned to have done.

result of the effort to secure from the Vatican
condemnation Ct the Plan Of Campaign. This
inevitably suggests the negotiations in which
Mr.. Errington played the part of diplomatic
agent or go-between. But the lrish' eood

kindly upon interference from Rome with their

then. There is no ground for hoping for better
success now.

Mr. Gladstone is showing remarkable energy.
The series Of speeches which he has been max
ing during the past week proves that he can
still be relied upon as mighty force whenever
an occasion arises to call forth his powers.
On the Budget, on the increase Of sentences
under the Crimes Act, and other topics he has
spoken with vigor and directness worthy of
his best years. They reckon i'll who count
upon failure Of his strength as signal for
the overthrow OF the Irish cause. Even If age
a, length compes him TO withhold his hand,
here will be no lack of leaders in the great
movement with which the Grand Old Mans
name is so honorabiy identified.

The Tariff OF thc Fathers.

The advocates of the present high
protective war tariff are very fond of
aludng 10 "the tariff of the fathers"
They seek to give the impression that
the tariff of to-day is the same, or nearly
the same, as the tariff that was imposed
by the founders of this government.
But, these high war tariff defenders are
not discreet in inviting comparison be-
tween the present schedule and the
duties that were deemed sufficient for
our infant industries fifty or hundred
years ago. The "kind of tariff favored
by Washington" and favored by Hamil-
ton laid specific duties, moderate and
yet discriminating, upon thirty articles,
mostly manufactured, and ad valorem
duties, ranging from 8 to 10 per cent. on
all others. Cottcns, woolens and linens,
which now pay 60, 81 and 40 per cent +,
respectively, then paid only 8 per cent.
The average duty under the tariff
Favored by Washington" was about 8
per cent. Now, after nearly hundred
years of coddling of the infants, the
average is nearly As per cent. There
were seven tariff laws up to the war in
1915, which laws carried the iron rate up
to III per cent. only, but the law OF
July, 1912, doubled all rates. When that
war closed, the tariff law of 1916, which
was an administration measure, reduced
the rate on iron to 30 per cent, and on
cotton from 35 to 90 per cent. Calhoun
advocated it. In 1924, protection, pure
and simple, came to the front for the
first time. 1t was not New York or a
New England measure. Faneul Hall
denounced it by the mouth of Daniel
Webster, who also condemned it in the
Senate. lie then said:
"On the general question, sir, allow
me to ask il the doctrine of Prohibition,
as general doctrine, be not preposter-
Gus? Suppose all nations to act on it;
they would be prosperous then according
to the argument, precisely In the proper.
tiOn in which they abolish intercourse
with one another. Protection and en-
couragement may be and are doubtless
sometimes wise and beneficial, if kept
within proper limits; but when carried
to an eNtravagant height or to the point
of prohibition, the absurd character of
the system manifrsts ITSELF"
The absurd and unreasonable tariff
that Daniel Webster and the fathers
condemned is the very kind of a tariff
that the Republican party contends for
to-day. And, there is just about as
much comparison between the tariff of
our fathers which imposed an average
duty of per cent, and the present high
war tariff, which imposes an average
duty of 4S per cent, as there is between
daylight and darkness - k1chunge
