THE NACOTEARY TERDICT.

The long DELAYED verdict of the ecclesiastical
court which was appointed by the Protestant
Episcopal Bishop of Ohio to try the Rev. How
ard MacQueary will please nobody and settle
nothing. 1t will he recalled that Mr. Mactitcary
wrote a book in which he made many statements
If belief. or rather disbelief, that were widely
denounced by Epi>copalianS as hcretical. Final
Iv his bishop. Dr. Leonard. Of Cleveland, took
Official cognizanCe Of the matter and, IN accord
ance with the canonS Of the diocese appointed
4 court to try him. The Trial took place in
Cleveland last December, the specific charges
against Mr. MacQucary being that he denied
the Virgin birth and physical resurrection OF
Christ. Mr. MacQucary admitted the truth OF
rho charges. but urged in his defence that he
had the warrant Of Scripture for his views ana
that they were within the tolerated limits oi
oninion in the Episcopal Church. Moreover ne
contondcd that many other Episcopal clergy
mon. some of them eminent and holding exalted
positions. have given uttcrancc to the same OF
similar views.
Since then the five ccrgymen who composed
the court have been celebrating on verdict
and AZ last it is rendered, three declaring MI
NacOuearv 10 be guilty and two holding him
~ he innocent Such "A verdict is in every wa:
unsatisfactory For it is a distinct declaration
~, only that the accused clergyman is guilty

Creed. but that there arc others III inc

latter point is the ono in which the EplScopd'
Church is most seriously concerned. Inc Iai'

court expresses the attitude OF any cons leiaUI'
number of clcrgymcn throughout the Church
and tborc is reason o. believe that 1t docN-lt

settled and which cannot be settled. For there
+. no general court of appeals in the Episcopal
Church and consequently no way OF getting
4 decision from the Church itself on inc qU'N-
tons at issue in this trial.
The diocese Of Ohio, it IS true, has spoken
bv bare majority OF its court. But the ffo'-
c,tant Episcopal Church has never cmpoWercd

Of doctrine. discipline or worship. II was I'M

than for Mr.. MacQueary. that this tlal ever
took place. and It's outcome l. StllI more I'm

lama. hours of work from his staff. At the
same time he urges that it is not desirable to
prescnt more than ten cases per day before each
Judge. and that so long as there are only three
Judoes available he canno. employ his stan so
~ 70 Give full effect to their resources. The
very fact that there are only three Judges be-
Zorro whom they can do business limits the field
of their work Replying to the suggestion that
= Judge might he appointed to sit in cham
hers Mr. Nico points out in the present state
Of the law he would be OF no great service, since
he could not hear appeals from the Police
Courts. could not consider applications regard
ing forfeited recognizances nor accept pleas
hear demurrers entertain motions to dismiss or
set aside indictments, or perform any OF long
list of judicial functions which at present help
70 produce the congested conditions he wishes to
relieve
Two things will at once occur to the public
after hearing this controversy. Tho first is that
each one OF those four Judges should he en-
ploved at least ten months of every year. The
publc money is now being wasted through
net of unearncd salaries and the public bus-
ness is being gricyously Distracted. The sec
ond is. that not so much as one penny of add
tional expense should be involved in the scheme
80 TO employ them. Not one additional court
employe should be required no more clerks or
attendants. There are so many of them now
that there is scarcely room enough in the court
rooms for the lawyers and witnesses. What the
situation demands is more work all around, not
more official idlcrs nor more unearned salaries.
The court says it is willing to employ its fourth
member in Chambers. Mr. Ncoll says that
this would be substantial gain it, so sitting
the Judge could be empowered TO dispose OF
certain lateral questions. law giving him this
authority would seem to provide sensible and
easy solution of the controversy, and in on
dcayoring to secure its passage Mr. Nicoll would
undoubtedly have the support of the public.

4 GENERAL SESSIONS JCDGE ~ CHAM
mrs

Every sensible person i of course interested
in securing a quick and effective administration
Of the criminal laws. I'm the controversy which
District Attorney Nico has aroused by his
proposition to create "A fourth part Of the Gen
eral Sessions. the facts should not be lost sight
Of that there are about 800 mtIicd indict-
menfs in the DiStrict-A Attorney Office and that
there arc four Judges appointed to try them who
are occupied not much more than half their
time. The prime question, therefore. is how 10
employ the idle hours OF a numerous court so ~
10 clear the ChOkcd calendars and correct an
evil which all admit TO amount TO 4 blockade Of
Justice. The Judges. in opposing Mr.. Nic0lFS
suggestion present strong and appealing argu-
mcnt,. They point ont what cannot be denied,
that the creation Of another part Of their court
will open the way to heavy expenditures Tor
attendants StcnogFphcrS and other function
aries. and they say that il cannot be necessary
because. although they sit only seven or eight
months ont of twelve they do not have enough
work to occupy them while they are in session.
They suggest that Mr.. Nicoll should furnish
them with sufficient employment under present
conditions before he asks them to sit oftcncr.
This has evident force. more perhaps than the
Judges siHpected, lOf IL Ied"s 10 inc lI"''! WI!
an additional Judge was provided three years
ago for their court if there was substantially
nothing for him to do, and it renders the com
mcnt inevitable that there is something wrong
with a system by which four judges are paid
So, 900 year for seven or eight months light
work while $500 untried indictments are per-
mttcd to accumulate in the DStric'-Attorney 5
Office.
By implication the Judges admit this, and fix
the wrong UPON the prosecutor and his assist
ants-a suggestion which has drawn from Mr..
Nicoll a temperate and sensible, if not suf'i'
cient reply lie accepts the JUDGES criticisms
in good part, assuming that they, as well as
he are moved by the same desire to promote
the laws operations. and he promises to require

LIQUOR LEGISLATION And TIE PROHIBT-

The Democratic Assembly performed two acts
Yesterday which cnlitlc it 70 the hearty
thanks of reputable citizens. BY defeating the
Stadlcr bill and jhe IIidreth bill it conserved
the public welfare and taught the saloons y
lesson which may induce them to be more mod
est in their demands during the rest of the
session. The iniquitOus character OF the two
measures in question has been thoroughly eX-
posed in these columns. The Stadler bill was
brazen attempt to provide for all-neht dives,
and by so doing seriously to menace the peace
and good order Of the metropolis The Hill
dreth bill was not much better The best use
which either one could be put to was TO kill it,
The saloons may well hang their flags al half
mast, but citizens who have the vital good of
the State at heat will rejoice II is to be add
cd however that by far the worst Of the liquor
bills has yet to be disposed OF. We refer of
course, to the liiI-Schaaf bill, which represents
the cx0rbitant demands Of the state Liquor
Dealers Association. IL is to be given its final
hearing tomorrow. If it only could be given
lis death blow the discontinue OF the rum
power so far rs this session is concerned, would
be complete.
While on this subject. few words i'll regard
