A MOST PROMIING MOVE

The facts connected with the issuing
Of $S,OOOC0O of bonds by the Hooking Val
ley and Toledo Railroad Company and
the theft of their proceeds by those who
had control of the corporation are IA
milar TO the public. But the litigation
that has grown out of it has started
new litigation Of an entirely novel char
acter that promises to be of the very
greatest service to the public. In the
course of the litigation first mentioned.
the general term Of the supreme Court
of New York said: The fraud was not
of such a character as to permit redress
in d court of law, but it was sufficient
to enable a court of equity to compel the
defendants to do that which they pro-
fessed an intention TO do but did not
to the injury of the trustee and bond
holders" The court further declared the
action of the defendants 10 have been "a
fraud on the trustee, for, by reason Of 1t.
there was put upon the market bonds
bearing its certificate. which operated 10
assure investors Of the bona lides OF the
entire transaction. when, in truth, 1t
was wholly wanting" Reaching the con-
clusion that the trustee was an injured
party In the case, as well as the bond
holders, the court takes the position that
lit was and stu is the duty of said trus-
tee 10 proceed in court TO redress any re-
medable wrong which has resulted TO it's
cestui que trusts from breach of the
covenants OF the deed Of trust"
Acting upon the suggestion contained in
this opinion. the Central Trust Company.
Of New York. which was the trustee in
the Hooking Valley mortgage. and was
expressly exempted from liability in the
case, has commenced a suit in the courts
Of Ohio to compel the application of the
proceeds of the sale OF the bonds to
the purposes specified and for which the
purchasers supposed them to be issued.
No man can say beforehand what a
court is going 10 do in a given case. but
the equities Of this case are perfectly OBJ
vious to our mind. and we have not the
slightest hesitation In saying that the
Ohio court should sustain the suit and

A Meeting OF the committee to Take Ac1on
in the Matter.

4 meeting Of the Memorial Committee
Of Phil Kearney Post 6. \. r, has been
called for this afternoon, when some ON
cial and authoritative action VIII Doubt
less be taken in reference 10 the charge
made by Commander Waruous' Of the

memorial hall in this city an account or
which has already been published In The
Times. The g. \. r people in this city
are highly indignant over the charges
made by Commander Wartrous, when
they say reflects upon the post in this
city They say that their annual reports
Of proceedings by the organizations are
issued in pamphlet form, and contain
reports Of the total fund, or The reserve
accumulated for the year, and that II
Is a gross Islander and an outrageous
falsehood on the part OF any one 10 say
that funds sent TO the post had been mis-
appropriated. They claim that II there
was any truth in the reports, specific
charges should have been made and in
vestigation demanded.
one of the members Of the post here
stated yesterday that those to whom was
intrusted the duty Of decorating the
graves OF the soldiers from year 10 year
were men Of honor and truth. and that
such charges on the part OF other MEM
bers Of the G. A. r. were unbecoming and
unjust.

A SPECIMEN BRICK.

Whoever has been In London knows the
meagre character OF the American news
in the English newspapers. Even In the
London Times almost all the little Of us
American news comes from its speciai
correspondent at Philadelphia, and that
is always colored more or less by the
atmosphere Of the Philadelphia ne~spa-
pers. To those, therefore. who are ac-
quainted with the London newspapers
1t will not be surprising that the Dally
News recently had the following para
graph:
washington Is threatened with ne"
invasion Bands of the unemployed, set
in motion by the elOquence Of member
OF Congress named Coxey, are convers-
ing upon IL from many points OF the
compass. They come, or are coming, not
only from Virginia and from Maryland
but from the Middle States, from Indiana,
from Pennsylvania. from New England
and from Connecticut"
This is fair specimen Of Anglo-Ameri-
can news. and Is pretty nearly as correct
as most Of what is seen in the London
newspapers. 1t is a wonder, indeed, that
with what their newspapers give them,
the English people know anything at all
Of what goes on in this country.

JOSEPH II. CHOATE.

The election Of Mr.. Choate to the
presidency of the New York Constitutional
Convention Is an honor he has well earned
by his life of labor and probiy, his cul-
tivation and learning, his patriotism and
courage. but II is also an honor to the con-
ventIon itself. which has chosen its presi-
dent by methods free from the disgraceful
dIckering and trading which has made
so many Offices filed by legislative bodies
rather badges of shame than Of honor.
Mr.. Choate has not wide acquaintance
i'm Virginia, but those who do know him
admire and respect him and congratulate
him and the Now York Bar upon this
distinction 10 him and them.
The only pity is that Mr.. Choate is a
Republican. II he were but true blue
Democrat he would. with James c. Carter
and Frederick r. Coudert rs his col
leagues. present trumvrate of New
York Democratic lawyers. which might

LIT MIR SMITH INVESTIGArE.

we shall be very sorry If any impedi-
uents whatever are thrown in the way
of Mr.. James'C. Smith in examining into
tho votes and the returns made in the
recent primary election. Mr. Smith thihKs
he has grounds TO suspect the fairness
Of the election. and, instead Of impeding
him. the City Committee should give him
every possible opportunity 10 make any
investigation of it that he desires 10
make We hope and pray that there was
no fraud in 1t. but we cannot afford 10
a,fow any sort Of question to be raised
concerning II. The primary election is
absolutely essential TO good government
In this city, and confidence in its fair
ness and purity is absolutely indispensa-
bit 10 the primary. If there was any
fraud practced in the recent one Inc
people want to know it, and they are
entitled to know II.
II the chairman doubts his authority
to allow Mr.. Smith to examine the poll
books and the ballots he should at once
call the committee together. and 1t should
authorize 1t. Turn on the light If there
Is even suspicion of fraud our pri-
mares must be fair, and the city VIII

When Senator Hoar had concluded his
protective tariff speech on Tuesday Sena-
tor Palmer took the floor and compared
the pathetic and dramatic" speech Of
Mr. Hoar to the singing by colored boy
of the hymn:
Jesus, lover Of my soul.
Let me to thy bosom fly.
The song had been sung, he said, with
such fervor, sentiment, and melody that
he had asked the boy to come to his
boarding house and sing it again. The
boys answer was: General, | never sing
that hymn without pay" Oaughter)
This is a complete description Of all the
harangues for protection, and applies just
as well to the concessions which the
Democratic Senate has made to the pro-
tected monopolists in the new "compro-
mise tariff bill as to the Republican SEN
ators.
