A Decision Given In Which President
Clark OF the Consolidated Road is
Deeply Interested.
BROOKLYN, May 31.-Judge Cullen to-
day sustained the demurrer by defendants
in the suit brought by Richard A. Roberts,
William A. Jones, Edward Mccoy and
James Adams against the New York and
New England road, the Boston, Hartford
and Erie road William T. Hart and Charles
P. Clark.
The plaintiffs claim to hold Is, 800 shares
of the stock of the Boston, Hartford and
Erie railroad. In March, 1865, the COM
pany made mortgage to Robert q. Bender
and other trustees to secure q $50, 900, 900
issue of bonds due in 1900. The plaintiffs
alleged that only $1a, 000, 900 worth of the
bonds was disposed of in good faith, the
remainder being fraudulently and illegally
diverted.
Judge Cullen says the plaintiffs failed
to show that they were a majority of the
stockholders. In this situation, 1t Is for
the corporation to determine whether 1t
will redeem its bonds or not. 1t has re-
fused to do so. If the plaintiffs want a
redemption let them acquire enough stock
to control the company.

A Law That Should Be Repealed.

The mischief that sometimes comes Of
experimental mcddling with established
rules is illustrated by the act passed last
winter which prohibits tho retnlistment OF
privates who have served ten years or are
more than thirty-ive years old.
Against this legislation. set afoot by SEN
ator PROCTOR. there have already been loud
protests in the army. The new law is based
on the theory that II a man cannot in ten
years rise to be a non-commissioned officer.
he Ia too poor a soldier for the service. But
practical experience shows that there are
good soldiers who have little ambition to
rise and are content with fidelity to duty as
privates. There are others. and many OF
them. who while thoroughly subordinate
and trustworthy. yet lack that ability to
command which even the corporal must to
some extent possess. They may have i'm
pediments or shortcomings OF one kind or
another which do not interfere with their
work as soldiers. but put them at "a disad-
vantage in competing for promotion.
The selection every year of a number OF
enlisted men for commissions as Second
Lleutenants brings into the service some
well-educated and ambitious young men,
who have enlisted with a view to securing
these prizes. Sometimes they arc sons or
younger brothers OF officers. and take this
way to a commission. being unable to Sc
cure a cadetship at West Point. If meanwhile
they get also the first chance at the chew
rons. 1t is no proof that others who remain
p~rivates through two terms OF enlistment
are therefore unworthy soldiers. Indeed
the increased responsibility placed upon
non-commissioned officers by the new drill
regulations and by the requirements OF
modern battle tactics in general. demands a
higher grade OF efficiency i'll such officers.
Hence it is not to be inferred that because a
