A Constitutional Amendment Which
should be Defeated.

The proposed amendment to the State
Constitution providing for an increase In
the number Of Judges Of the Court Of APP
peals from seven TO fifteen. has again come
up In Albany. Mr.. ]. NEWTON F1ERo. the
President Of the State Bar Association. has
submitted q memorial to the Senate Ju
dietary Committee for the purpose OF show
ing that the sentiment OF the bar OF the
State lie In favor Of the proposed increase.
A circular was sent out to all tho members
OF the State Bar Association. as well as to
the County Judges, Surrogates. and District
Attorneys OF every county. To this. 512
answers were received and ASS OF the
writer's thought that the number OF Judges
should DO increased.
This evidence OF the opinion OF the legal
profession on the subject IL worthy Of con-
sideration by the Legislature; and 1t may
be that tho people will ultimately determine
that the proposed increase is necessary.
But however this may be. the constltu-
tional amendment now under discussion
should be rejected. because 1t provides for
perpetual scheme Of minority representa-
ton. which might operate. and undoubtedly
often would. to deprive the people OF the
State oiany choice In the election OF Judges
Of their court Of last resort.
Under this amendment whenever two
Judges are to 10 chosen at the same time
each voter will be allowed to vote for only
ono candidate. In that event each OF the
two great political parties would nominate
only ono candidate. and that candidate
would be certain to be elected. so that
nomination by State Convention would be
equivalent to an election. Under such cir
cumstances. IL either party should nominate
or rcnominate Judge whom the people
would prefer to reject they would be prac-
tically poweress to defeat him. A system
which might give rise to such state OF Of
fairs IL neither Democratic nor Republican
in the true sense Of those terms: and In our
opinion will never be established by the
people in the state OF New York.
II the Legislature determines that an in
crease in the membership Of the Court OF
Appeals is expedent, 1t should provide for
submitting that question to tho people
without any proposition for perpetual mi
nority representation. such as is contained
In the constitutional amendment under dis
cussion. That amendment. in its present
form, only deserves emphatic rejection

The Behring Sea Quarrel.

The animus OF Great Britain's change OF
front In the Behring Sea business may be
understood better by comparing 1t with the
simultaneous attitude OF Canada In paral-
lel case. A day or two ago the Dominion
Minister OF Marine and Fisheries introduced
bill at Ottawa to renew the modus virendi
rotating to United States vessels In Cana
dian waters. This agreement was at first
limited In operation to two years: at tho
end OF that time the Dominion renewed It
for ono year, since the main dispute which
u was designed to bridge over had not been
settled. And now we ind second renewal
for twelvemonth on the ground that ut
10 but fitting. considering the friendly
agreement recently reached with the United
States Government In several matters.
that the Dominion should again furnish
evidence OF Its sincerity by renewing tho
snodxs viuendi. and giving the New England
fishermen an opportunity Of frequentlng
Canadian ports. for the purpose OF obtaining
bait and other supplies on paying the Gus
tomary license fee." With Great Britain
treaty Of arbitration was recently signed In
tho Dehrlng Sea business but instead OF ac-
cepting that as q good reason for renewing
the friendly modus vipendi OF last year until
tho decision Of the arbiters Is rendered. the
British Premier. according to the recent
news from Washington. adopts an opposite
conclusion and declines to extend 1t.
The substitute which he 10 said to favor
Is a proposition Of agreement suggested
by our Government year ago. Mr..
BLAINE refers to 1t. In communication last

Both in tho Same Boat.

We are not surprised that the Evening
Poet is troubled by our demand for the dis
eovely and punishment OF the member OF
the Grand Jury who reported it's secret pro-
oeedings and deliberations for that paper in
violation OF his oath.
The editor OF the Erening Post partner
With him In the crime. an accessory. and Is
therefore liable to punishment equally.
As Mr.. Justice FIELD OF the United States
Supreme Court said. In speaking OF the
Grand Jury. 1.-The rule OF law forbids all
communications with Grand Juries en-
through tho public instruction OF courts
and the testimony OF sworn witnesses"
This rule no described rs "a rule Of safety
to tho community" No court" said Chief
Justice HAMMOND In another case. fought
to allow any person to DO put upon
trial upon an Indictment found. where
such influences arc shown to have been
brought to bear upon the jury" Within a
few days man has been indicted by the
Federal Grand Jury at Boston on the charge
Of having communicated with a Juror and
undertaken to influence his vote as to an
Indictment.
The editor Of the Evening Post committed
this offence by communicating with the
juror who acted as his reporter in the
Grand Jury room In the case Of McGLoRY
His publications showed that he was in
communication with this violator OF his
oath while the proceedings were going on
and before the indictment was found.
Thereby he confessed his guilt of an offence
60 serious. and he should be brought to
punishment along with his reporter.
The EpeninO Post. whose conceptions OF
law and justice are usually confused. seems
to think that the secrecy Of the Grand Jury
needs to be preserved as against the GRIM
inal only. It must be kept for the ends OF
justice generally and for the protection OF
the innocent against groundless and mali
cious accusations.
It Is imposed by law and by the solemn
oath which the juror who acted as a re-
porter for the Epenfno Post violated. This
osth. as Is explained In the Manual for
Grand Jurors" which is distributed to
each of them after taking the oath. re-
quIres that "every member OF the
Grand Jury must keep secret what
ever no himself. or any other grand
manner he. or any other grand juror. may
have voted on matter before them" The
sworn secrecy. as further defined by
B0uvIER. " extends to the vote given In any
case. to the evidence delivered by witnesses.
and to the communications OF the Jurors to
each other"
The grand Juror who acted as reporter for
the Ruenia0 Post held communication with
It's editor as to the case Of McGLoRY and
revealed to him the proceedings of the
Grand Jury during their progress. Both OF
them. thereteee. ought to be subjected to
punishment. They have brought the Grand
Jury into dlsrespect and imperilled the ends
Of Justice.

Highway Weddings.

The newspapers OF the Pacific coast occa-
sionally contain accounts OF highway we'd
dings. These announcements are brief
matter-of-fact. and devoid Of details. They
set forth the date OF the event. mention the
road in which it took place. and give the
names Of the high contracting partles-if
the principals in highway wedding may
be thus designated. In some instances,
presumably when he doesn't get away
without being identified. the name of the
officiating functionary is also set forth.
We have watched In vain for more salts
factory account OF highway wedding, and
now in behalf OF the people Of this side Of
the continent We appeal to the highway
society reporters OF the Pacific coast press
for more extended and satisfying account
OF q function which seems to be common
enough there. but Is unknown here. Some
OF the most thrilling stories told by the
bright young mon OF the California news
papers have been their accounts Of stage
coach hold-ups. Is there any good reason
why matrimonial hold-up ct lonely bend
OF the road should be less worth the telling
with equal skill and attention to details1
The term highway wedding 10 vague
and tantalizing to Eastern cars Tho mind
gropes In the attempt to picture what It
may be like. Does the highway bridegroom
sally forth on . moonlight evening with q
revolver In each hand and bowie knife In
his teeth. accompanied by his best man
similarly ACQUIRED. seeking q maiden fair
whom he may halt with the demand: az Your
heart and hand or your life!" and then does
the wedding party proceed until they come
across dominic or magistrate ON whom
they can get the drop. and compel him to
offlciate then and thereP II such 10 tho

worthy Of minute description eventustes In

attempt to imagine what highway we'd

the reality. Is not the event still amply
worthy Of conscientious description
From some mention OF highway we'd
ding. In the region Of Ban Diego. II our
vague remembrance is not ct fault. We
have somehow become possessed OF the
notion that 1t Is not considered good form
for the bridegroom to set out on an errand
OF this sort until he has found q young
woman willing to be his sOcomplice, and
that the hold-up Is simply that OF tho vart-
GUS wsyfarers whom they may meet or
overtake In the highway until they fnd

that he Is authorised by Church or State 70
