The mention OF the name of Hon. Johr
Randolph Tucker as Acknowledgement IN
the Cabinet Of Mr.. Cleveland has given
great satisfaction in the South, and the
hone is earnestly expressed that the
President may zee fit to make the APP
pointment.
The office OF Attorney-General Is one
of the most important I'm the Govern
ment. as upon his opinion constantly
rests matters Of vital interest to every
citizen in the country. The Office should,
therefore, be filed by a man fully learned
in the law, and OF a just and discrimi-
mating mind capable Of readily Analysing
all legal questions referred to him. and
OF properly deciding the application Of
the laws upon the matters at Issue. No
better man for this can be found any
where than Mr.. Tucker, who has not
only established his reputation as a jurist
I'm the courts and in the halls OF Congress,
but who inherits his pre-eminent ability
from a long line Of distinguished legal
ancestors. The grandson Of Judge st.
George Tucker, son Of Henry st. George
Tucker, and nephew Of Judge Beverley
Tucker, Professor Of a at William
and Mary College when that college was
one OF the leading institutions OF learning
Of the country, he was born and brought
up In an atmosphere OF the law, in the
intricacies Of which he, from his earliest
days, was thoroughly grounded. Since
his manhood he has, while Attorney
General of Virginia during the admins
tration Of Governor Letcher, as well as
in his large and extensive legal practice,
proved himself a foeman worthy Of the
steel Of any member of the legal frater-
nifty, no matter whom he might be or from
whence he might come. After the war
he accepted the position of Professor Of
Law at the Washington and Lee Univer-
sity, where he added to his laurels as
a master Of his profession, and on the
floor of the House Of Representatives for
sixteen years he showed himself TO be
one Of the foremost constitutional law
yers of that body.
IT is almost superiuous to recall these
facts, as Mr.. Tucker is a man Of national
reputation. well known throughout the
country, and by no one better than Mr..
Cleveland. And while we have no inten-
ton Of in any respect appearing to ad-
wise that gentleman as to his choice for
members Of his official family, we only
wish TO say that should he appoint Mr..
Trckor hiS AftOrnav-Genera he u,ould
take into his councils one of the safest
and wisest OF counsellors. and at the
same time confer an honor upon Vir-
ginia which would be appreciated
throughout the length and breadth Of the
Old Dominion.

GoULD's CHARACTERISTIC WILL.

I'VE brought nothing into this world.
and 1t is certain we can carry nothing out.
The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken
away; blessed be the name OF the Lord"
Though the impressive lesson OF this
solemn passage was as forcible at the
beginning Of the world as 1t is to-day,
still essays TO hold his grip upon his
gold when the hand that grips has turn
ed to clay. The provision In Jay Gould's
will that If any one Of his children marry
without the consent Of a majority Of the
others that hild shall forfeit to the others
one-half Of its share OF the estate. is
one Of the strongest possible evidences Of
the money-getter's idea Of the power OF
gold. Gould believed his child would make
any sacrifice rather than a sacrifice of
one~half his or her fortune, and in think
ing this. he did not intend to disparage
his own children. He was expressing his
opinion of mankind
But this provision Of his will displavs
more than the m~oney-getter's fetish. It
Is equivalent to his declaring Il know my
daughters will be sought for their money.
feelings they may have in the mat
ter Of marrying are of no CONSEQUENCE.
The main point is that my money shall
go in the right direction. They shall not
marry at all Gor of course they will not
marry If it is a choice between marriage
and a surrender OF half their fortunes)
unless they marry men that the rest OF
the Goulds think the Gould fortune will
be safe with"
IL VIII not do TO say anxiety concerning
the future Of his daughters controlled
MIN. That would have prompted him 70
leave them their fortunes If they mar
red badly. as some alienation Of their
unhappy fate. The provision of the will
manifests a belief that all persons value
money above all else, and a determination
mat the Gould money shall stay where
the Goulds think it will be safe.
The great architect of ruin and d,s-
hohor has never performed a single act
"hlch brings out more clearly than this

HHO PAYS FOR THIS?
The Committee Add Unnecessary Expense
to the City Taxpayers.

BY the action OF the Council Committee
on Grounds and Buildings Tuesday night
the taxpayers of Richmond will pay
$443.34 more for material used in the con.
struction Of the new City Hall than there
is any need.
The meeting Tuesday night was held
in the City Engineers office. and the pro-
ceedings were fully reported in The Times
Of the following morning.
An extract from the article is as fol-
lows: rnf
A long discussion followed over the
awarding of the contract for the thing
in the floors and wainscoting. The con-
tract was finally awarded to Mr.. John
Bowers, although his bid was $19lO2 high
er than that of the lowest bidder. The
contract was awarded to Mr.. John Bow
ers at the suggestion Of Captain Curtis, in
order that Richmond firms might be given
preference, while the conditions and re-
quirements were almost the same.
Mr.. Epps expressed a similar view. and
thought that he would serve the interests
Of the taxpayers best by voting to award
the contract to a home concern.
The lowest bidder referred to above was
Mr.. w. II. Riddle, Of Baltimore, and
at the meeting stated that the difference
between his n Mr.. Bowers bid was not
NAofsN-g 10 NalNAAdAC1 ny (ltIh EIdilh
Bates, but $H3.34. He offered to prove
by his own calculations that Mr.. Bates
figures were wrong. but the committee
refused TO hear him.
Yesterday when l called on Mr.. Bates
he showed me how he had made the mis-
take. and scarcely n blame can be at
tached to him.
The shedules and specifications were new
to him until the night OF the meeting,
and while the discussion was taking place
he was asked to calculate the difference
between the two bids. He did so in a
hurried manner, and though he examined
his work when Mr.. Riddle made the
statement that the difference was greater.
he could not at that time find his mis-
take.
But whether the mistake was 500 or
800 is not the question. The problem that
should confront our city fathers is
whether or not the taxpayers OF the
clty-the people who send the council
men to represent them-are willing TO
pay SAB. "a more for certain material lust
for the patriotism and pleasure It gives
the Committee on Grounds and Buildings.
Further comment is unnecessary.
Mr.. Riddles bid was as follows:

We are not criticising the doctrine. w

tainly one OF the most startling announce
ments that has been made In a long time
Early IN the century. when the Legis'
lature sought to interfere with chartered
rights held by Dartmouth College. the
College claimed that the legislative
grants to It, being founded upon sufficient
consideration, constituted a contract be-
tween II and the LEGISLATURE, n that as
the Constitution OF the United States for
bids a State to pass any law impalring the
obligation OF a contract, the legislative act
interfering with the rights OF the College
was forbidden by the Constitution and
void, and the case cam TO the Supreme
Court OF the United States for final ad-
Indication. The State claimed that the
constitutional prohibition was not inten-
ted to apply to the contracts made by
States themselves. That 1t was only in
tended to forbid the States TO impair the
obligation of contracts between private
parties. The Supreme Court, however,
took a different view. overruled the States

apply TO the contracts of States as to
all others, and pronounced the act COM
planned OF void.

Of the land that a State is bound by her

momentous consequences have flowed
from the doctrine, while enormous invest

The doctrine has not given entire salts
faction to the country, however. There
has always been a strong and a steady
protest against It, appearing sometimes In
the dissent Of judges. sometimes in dis
cusslons in the law periodicals of the day.
But Notwithstanding this protest the
Supreme Court has held on tenaciously to
the principle until now, and 1t was thought
to be grounded like bed rock in the Con-
stitution. 1t cannot be denied, however,
that the newspaper announcements Of the
Chicago case seem 10 make IL a decided
encroachment on the principle. II not an

the case, II is given TO no man TO foresee

scope. Only seven OF the nine Supreme
Court Justices sat in the case, and they
