A High judicial Farce.

The new Circuit Courts Of Appeals met on
Tuesday and went through the form OF or
ganization. That is to say, in each OF the
several circuits one or the other OF the JUS
tioes Of the Supreme Court, or some one Of
the subordinate judicial officers Of the United
States declared the new Circuit Court OF
Appeals to be open. appointed q clerk, and
then adjourned the court.
In New York this function was performed
by Mr.. Justice BLArcHFoRD. who imme-
diateiy adjourned the Circuit Court OF Ap-
peals for the Second circuit until October
next. In Richmond Chief Justice FULLER
appeared; in Philadelphia, Mr.. Justice
BRADLEY; In Chicago Mr.. Justice HARLAN.
and DO on.
=. Tuesday was the day on which Congress
intended that the business OF the new courts
should begin. The law OF March was a
measure for the immediate relief OF tho over
crowded calendar Of the Supreme Court.
The EvARTs bill, as passed by Congress- pro-
vided definitely and distinctly that the first
terms OF the newly established tribunals
should be held on the second Monday Of last
January. As the bill did not go through
until March, this anachronism was rectitied
by the passage OF joint resolution chang
Ing the date to the third Tuesday in June.
But the intention OF the National Legisla-
ture was that the operation Of the new
system should begin at once. and the Presi-
dent was commanded by the law to appoint,
by and with the advice and consent OF the
Senate. nine new Circuit Judges.
The efficiency Of tho law, as measure OF
relief to the Supreme Court, depends wholly
upon the appointment Of these additional
Judges. 1t is the new men that are to do the
work which shall relieve the Judges over
.burdened under the old system. and clear
the cloRged wheels OF the judicial machinery.
Therefore, the formal organization Of the
Circuit Courts Of Appeals In advance Of the
appointment OF the Judges who are to con-
duct the business Of these courts is farci-
oal proceeding and an evasion Of the law.
The man responsible for this Is BENJAMIN
HARRISON. President Of the United States,
sworn TO execute the laws Of the United
States. For some undiscovered reason he
has seen fit to disobey the law which he
approved on March 8, 1891. Evading his
plain duty to summon the Senate and send
to that body his nominations for the nine
new circuit Judges. and apparently not dar-
ing or caring to exceed his constitutional
powers and to defy public opinion as he did
In the less important matter OF the appoint
ment Of the Judges Of the new Court Of Pri-
sate Land Claims. President HARRISON has
postponed for months the practical opera
ton Of the reform 80 urgently needed. To
that extent he has managed to defeat the
law which he signed in March.

The resolution may be little superfiuous,

ple's party with either Of the great parties
The principles to which tho new party at
taches the most importance imply. indeed
an extension OF the power OF tho Federal
Government not absolutely foreign to Re-
publican ideas. but the Republicans cannot
take them up any more than tho Democracy
can. The new ,rty must fight separately.
and 1t cannot combine with Republicans or
Democrats. Tho same thing Is true Of the
Farmers Alliancein In so far as 1t may engage
in politics for the sake OF promoting Govern
ment loans on land and non-pcrIshable
products. 1t can get nothing from tho Dem
ocratc party or tho Republican party. 1t
must hoe its own row or keep out OF tho DO
litical field.
On the other hand. tho Republicans and
the Democrats could not form coalitions
with tho Alliance or the Peoplos party with
out injurlng themselves in the East and
with business interests generally.
AS the Peoples party has announced its

Tax on Cigarettes.

As reported in the Dispatch some days
ago, Secretary WINDOW has sent to the
House of Representatives. with favorable
recommendation, a letter from the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue recon-
mending certain amendments to the law
relating TO the tax on tobacco. On cigars,
cheroots, and cigarettes of all descriptions
made of tobacco or any substitute there
for, weighing not more than five pounds
per thousand, 81 per 1000 is the rate pro-
posed; on cigars. cberoots, and cigarettes
of all descriptions, weighing not less than
five pounds nor more than fifteen pounds
per thousand. $s per 1000, and upon each
additional five pounds, or part thereof. q
further tax of 81 per 1000.
The Commissioner also recommends that
upon sample boxes containing either
twelve or thirteen cigars each, the tax be
cents on every box.
II we understand this proposition cor
rectly, it means to double the tax on cigar
cites unless manufacturers choose to ven-
ture TO double the size of the cigarettes.
The tax now is fifty cents per thousand;
Mr.. RAUM proposes TO make it 81 per
1000.
Is this movement in the interest of the
Virginia and North Carolina tobacco
growers9
Our congressman should look into the
subject very closely.

AFortnnate Town, SO.

Our Buena Vista letter OF few days
AGO contained the following suggestive
paragraph:
1.-THE electric-iight plant here Is the
property OF the town and has been In ope-
ration less than year. IL now mas pa
tronape of 500 incandescent lights, and the
nrofits arising from them enable the town
10 nav all the expense of operating. the
fystem, making the street arc-lights free;
This plant promises 10 be source OF great
nroAt TO the town. The water-works, y is
believed. will in short time yield an equal
nrofit TO the town. There is no doubt that
in the near future the town improvements
will Weld revenue considerably more
than will be needed to pay the current ex-
penses of government"
Some time ago. in Discussing the GU
ton of the policy of selling out the Rich
mond gas-works wequoted from The Nation
abundant testimony TO the fact that IN
England, after long experiencein private
ownership of gas-works, the people OF the
various cities were gradually becoming
convinced that every city or town ought
TO own its own gas-works. Theoretically
II is a fine thing to keep city free from
entangling alliances" resulting from It's
owning gas or water or electric plants /;
but in point of fact those cities are best
circumstanced which do not depend upon
any private company or corporation for
its conveniences or for any OF the ne
cessaries of life.
Professor ELY, of Johns Hopkins Uni
yersity, lays down o proposition which
cannot be successfully denied-that no
franchise ought ever to be given away in
any city. The franchises at the disposal OF
city's council are too valuable to be be-
slowed as: gifts. For example, Richmond
might as we'll as not have received one
fourth of cent for every passenger car
ried over her street railroads.
