HARSH LAW.

Our Washington dispatches yesterday
told Of decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States, in which that tri-
bunal held that the bonds issued by
town in Mississippi to run from eleven to
seventeen years were void and Of no bind
ing obligation upon the town. for the
reason that the act Of the Legislature au-
thorizing the town to issue them required
that they should run only ten years.
The decision must, Of course, be accepted
and acquiesced in as the law of the land,
but it does seem to be a
pretty hard measure dealt out
to innocent people who have
parted with their money for the benefit
Of others. who got il. spent it. and en-
joyed it, and had come forward with a
technical plea in support Of their own
wrong.
Cases Of this sort are cases. of course.
in which no criticisms can be passed upon
the courts for their decisions. 1t is not
for them to make laws, but to enforce
them as they find those laws. But they
are cases that should receive the earnest
attention of the Legislature. 1t would
be well if the constitutional law of all
the States forbade corporations. whether
municipal or other, from setting up any
supposed defect in their technical author
ity TO issue bonds after they have put
them upon the country and received and
spent conhding public's money. If they
have received value in exchange for their
securities, they should be compelled to
redeem them. whether they have strictly
complied with the terms OF the act pro-
viding for their issue, or whether they
have not. 1t does seem like a miscar-
riage of justice TO say to man who lent
the Mississippi town his money that he
should not have it back, because he gave
the town seventeen years to return il
in, when the act provided that the town
must return it in ten years. 1t is a poor
requital for the favor conferred by him
upon the town in his granting it seven
years more than he was under an oblga-
ton TO grant it.

ROCHESTER,. Aug. 11.-Tho liberal admins
trative policy adopted by DR.. David J. HILL
the President OF the University OF Rochester.
has drawn the fire OF what's called hereabouts
the conservative element ofthe Baptist denom-
ination. DR.. Hill succeeded the late Martin
b. Anderson as President Of the university
two years ago DIR. Hill Is n man OF broad
mind. an able scholar and orator. and he at
once set to work to formulate policy that
would enlarge the usefulness OF tho university.
In this work the majority Of the alumni have
been with him heart and soul. The university
was founded by Baptsts. and. UP to date. its
affairs have been 30 managed that the majority
OF the Board OF Trustees have been men who
are active in the Baptist denomination.
At the annual commencement in June last
DR.. Hill. In an address before the Alumni AS
sociatlon. invited tho men OF western New
York Ito join with us in building university
whose foundation shall be laid upon truth and
righteousness This is q sufficient creed for
union in great work like this. although every
mans personal creed will undoubtedly exceed
it." This sentiment gavo great offence to
many Baptist clergymen and they have been
to ever since Of
Hill delivered the baccalaureate to sermon In tho
Central Presbyterian Church instead OF in one
had always been delivered.
The Rev. Henry L. Robins. a professor in the
Rochester Theological Sem mary. has taken up
the gauntlet on behalf of the dissatisfied men.
and he has written n long letter to the Examiner.

Dr. Hill to task for his policy. Prof Robins
argues that II Dr. Hills new policy Is to con-
tinue. 1t will result in the placing OF the con

he says. there are only fourteen
who can be called Baptists. Eleven OF the

three OF these eleven are Baptiste In this
