THE CANAL In The SENATE

Among today's Washington dispatche.
to the Chicago Tribune appears the fol-
lowing which shows that the warning W,
have had as to the Hennepiu is probably
well founded:
When the senate commerce committee
takes up the river and harbor bill this
week a concerted attack will be made or
the Hennepin appropriation The friends
of other canal projects will claim tina,
no reason exists why Hennepin should be
put in the bill, while Others are left out.
Then there will be number of senators
who have always fought it on its merits
But the strongest opposition will come
from those who want the $500, 600 set
aside for Hennepin utilized for other
purposes. The commerce committee ex>
poets to increase the already enormous
house bill by 5000. 900, but, if half a
million could be stricken out in a single
item, there would be some prospect OF
keeping the total down. Senator Cullom
is member of the commerce committee.
and. if it were rot for this, there would
be no chance at all for Hennepin. But
his influence as a member may save It.
Capt. Robinson, president of the tri-
city canal organization, was seen this
morning. and he said: I'VE have been
busy since yesterday attempting to get
some one to 60 to Washington from the

ties now are that Mr.. Fred Weyerhauser

Nj. HURLEY on Wednesday intro
duced bin in the House Of Delegates
providing for the retirement OF judges
over eighty years of age, with con-
tinuation thereafter of two-thirds Of
their pay as an honorable pension for
the services performed by them.
Under the laws Of many of the States
of the Union attainment Of the seventy
fifth birthday is prescribed as the limit
Of occupation Of judicial office. There
are many examples, however, recorded
in the annals Of courts Of law, which
furnish convincing evidence that a
iudee's usefulness is not necsssa-
rily impaired because he has reached
so ripe an sge. But there
ia reason to believe that the general
piirciple is correct, physical infrmi'
ties. rather than any intellectual de-
cline, constituting in the instance OF so
many men 80 far advanced in years the
most serious obstacle in the way Of their
performing efficiently the duties which
are incumbent upep them from the po-
eition which they hold.
II would be both just and graceful in
the State to retire all Of its Judges Who
had reached the age OF seventy -hve.
after serving a certain length OF time
on the bench, with the continuation Of
their pay in full. A law prescribing
this only in the case Of those who had
attaiaed to their eightieth year, 10 vir-
tualiy law which will have but very /
limited application. for comparatively |
few men in any walk Of life reach this
great age; and those who do have gen.
orally become incapsci.ated physically,
II not mentally, for The performance Of
the duties incident to their positions.
