OPPOSING CIRCUIT COURTS OF APPEAL.
SUGGESTIONS OF THE MAJORITY OF THE SENATE
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE FOR RELlEV-
ING TILE SUPREME COURT.

Washington, AuC s.-The views Of the minority Of
the Senate Committee on Judiciary upon the bill rc
ported few days ago By The majority for the organza
tion Of Circuit Courts Of Appeal. in order to relieve
the Supreme Court OF the accumulation OF business
upon its docket presented 10 dav. The minority
report Is signed by Mcssrs. Edmnnds. ingalls, and
Vest. Their principal objection TO the bill proposed
by the majority Is that II excludes from review by the
Supreme Court cases in which the jurisdiction Of the
National Court depends upon the character Of the
suitors where IL IS invoked by citizens of different
states or By aliens. The protection Of a citizen Of
one state against any local bias that might exist
against him in another and distant community Is, the
minority think. even more important than the con
sideration by National court Of subjects arising out
a the construction and effect of the Consultation or OF
a National law.
They say I've believe II TO be more important to
the best interests Of the whole people in every part
OF the Republic. that every suitor in the courts OF
the United states should have equal right TO take
the Judgment of the highest court Of the Union upon
his particular case. be It great or small. But we
think that the supreme Court may without excluding
from It's consideration any case that now by law may
be brought 10 It's consideration dispose speedily of
oil that DC upon its calendar from year TO
year. We think this be done. as in one form or
another, It Is dOno In the states and in other
countries. by providing that the supreme Court snail

acting In separate divisions Of three or more Justices
and thus going on vAh three hearings at the same
