~ being each OF them Of very ~ Ia
portance Inc closure resolution 70,
We repeat. Of great importance
because without It the banking
and currency bill cannot be forced
through the Senate. and the banking and
currency bill In Of greater importance BE-
causc without some such bill dire disas-
tiers threaten to come upon the country.
The closure resolution pending In the
Senate L. Mr.. Hills. and he seems to be
regarded as Its foremost advocate. On
Tuesday he spoke In Its favor. but not
for the arst time. The Albany Argus
which may be pronounced the leading
Democratic paper in his State, made q
week or two since the striking remark
that mo closure means legislation by
compromise." This remark was intended
to be an argument In favor Of closure.
but we are not certain that 1t IL not an
argument on the other side Of the ques-
ton. Senator Hill used almost exactly
the same words in his speech OF Tuesday.
He said that the continuation OF no
closr re meant compromise on every mea-
sure. or, In other words, no legisla-
ton without the consent Of the minority.
Mr. Hill also declared that inability to
stop debate was destructive Of the right
and power OF legislation.
The arguments In favor OF closure
rule appear 10 us to be unanswerable.
Therefore. 1t seems to us 10 be the duty
OF the Senate to adopt q closure rule with
out delay. 1t ought to be in full force
before the bill from the House Banking
and Currency Committee Is sent to the
Senate. But all House bills. or. as to
that matter, all other bills, will be In
like condition In the Senate. 1t Is SAID
truly that the people cannot express their
will speedily, 30 long as the Senate mas
no closure rule. 1t might be as truly SAID
that they cannot make their will effec-
tive at ALL TIE Senate custom or rule
also renders powerless the House OF Rep
resentatives. In fact, no-closure In the
Senate is no-closure In the House OF
Representatives; for to have previous
question in one body and unlimited de-
bate in the other is a mockery OF the
popular branch Of the national Legisla-
ture.
The closure proposition is not party
measure Senator Daniel. OF Virginia,
and Senator Hill. of New York, leading
Democrats, join hands with Senator Hoar,
of Massachusetts. a leading Republican,
in advocating it.

The Goodman Case.

Conductor Goodman. who killed Coionci
Parsons Mt Clifton Forge. Is to have
new trial. Circui.-Judge Mclaughlin nav
.ng so decided.
fudge Mclaughlin has been many years
on the bench, and is learned. thorough
md conscientious in the discharge OF nus
duty. and there win be few to question
h,s conclusion that the trial-judge's
ypi,nrs were erroneous In several I'M
portant particulars. So we take IL thal
Goodman is clearly entitled to d new
trial
But we question the policy OF that ia"
which allows a prisoner accused OF
cap,,al crime TO choose whether he VIII
NE tried IN the county court or circuit
court. and when he elects TO be tired III
the county court gives him an appear 10
the circuit court, and thence. III ne iaiis
IN the circuit court, TO the Supreme Court
os Aroe,ls. All the chances are IN MS
favor. TIE Commonwealth has no right
OF appeal at all.
Had Judge Mclaughlin denied "oou-
mans prayer for new trial, GOODMAN
could have appealed TO the supreme oour''
And all this he could have done without
risk. as under our law Goodman cannot
hereafter be convicted Of any degree OF
murder greater thar the second degree
the maximum Imprisonment OF which the
5ury gave him.
We do not advocate any change OF our
criminal law TO fit Goodman's case-he Is
entitled to all OF the benefits OF the law
as II now stands-but the next Generai
Assembly should make It its business 10
see IL all these appeals are necessary
Connecticut has suffered so very much
from the right OF appeal being altogether
on the prisoners side. 1t has amended lib
State Constitution 50 as 10 give the state
Uha, Is. the prosecution the right OF
appeal under certain circumstances. This
Is a bold and radical step, too radical Tor

NO SECURITY 70 pep ositors.

Mr.. Carlisle was last week reported In
the papers es having said before the
Banking and Currency COMMITTEES OF the
House Of Representatives that his Dill
made provision for securing depos'tors
against loss 1t was rote-holders' 10
doubt. and not depositors to whom ne
lad reference; for in the House OF Rep
resentatives on Tuesday last, when MT
Smith asked Mr.. Springer what provision
II any had been made for the protection
of depositors. Mr.. Springer replied that
Il was a currency measure. and was not
Intended to interfere with the regulations
for the security Of natlonal-bank deposit
ors found in other parts Of the national
bank act.
There is nothing else 50 much needed
az a law protecting depositors, who al
ways have It in their power to make
run upon the banks and In many cases
the ability TO break them. Security ana
elasticity are what we should value high-
est in any banking and currency scheme.
We have only one Of these In the Car
Isle bill, II Mr.. Springer Is right.

The Sugar Question.

What more popular subject could engage
the attention of Congress than sugar, II
the following statements OF the Provl-
dence Journal be true? We quote:
while the American people have been
interesting themselves in this matter OF
sugar tariff. nature has been increas SIN
the competition which the Denefciarics OF
such tariff sought to escape from. That
Is. the bounty Of nature has been doing
more than any other influence to make
conditions worse for the American mono
poly The production Of sugar Is growing
and has been growing at rapid rate Tor
number Of years. At last, In the midst
Of our agitation concerning he evils 81
the Sugar Trust, the force OF the compc'l-
ton In consequ ance OF this Increased
production has rea:ned point where II
Is doubtful IL any endurable tariff, 10
matter how high AMI restrictive. can Iro-
tect American refiners. at the same time
other refiners the world over are nghting
among themselves for the markets where
In they can dispose Of their producI
There is apparently no doubt that the
English and German refiners can under
sell American refiners at a fair proft.
AT any rate, they have been pushing the
sale OF their goods at New York ener-
eetically of late, and, on word OF many
merchants they have sold their sugar Tor
less than the American Refining Company
could import and manufacture the same
article"
Here will be an opportunity for the adj
vocates OF the bounty system TO attempt
to induce Congress TO restore the bounties
upon sugar provided for In the Mckinney
tariff law. But will they dare to come
out for the restoration OF those bountiesE
Not they. They will denounce the income
tax and the law abolishing bounties. but
they will take good care not to antagonize
cheap sugar nor the income-tax. The TWO
features Of the German or senate act
which were most vigorously denounced
whilst that bill was under discussion
will soon be. if they are not already So
its most popular features.

We are enabled on the highest authority
to state that Messrs. Joseph III. Choate
and Clarence A. Seward regard the new
income-tax as unconstitutional; and that
these eminent lawyers will represent a
large body Of public-spirited New York
merchants and businessmen, who propose
to test the constitutionality of the law In
the courts.-New York Sun.

including several from Virginia, that Mr..

regard the income-tax as unconstitutional.

Picking Out Judges.

In Norfolk where there is a vacant
1udgeship to be filled by Governor OFer-
rail- the question has been raised whether
the endorsements of the general public
as well as Of members of the bar should
not be sought for by the candidates.
We feel sure that the bar Of Norfolk
doesn't claim any exclusive privilege in
this matter; but IL the bar can unite on
man we undertake to say that That
man win prove acceptable to the people
at large.
In cases that have come before Cover
nor O'Ferrall where the bar was divided
as between two men, the recommended
tions OF laymen have very properly had
great weight with the Executive. Here
in Richmond our people have usually left
to the bar the matter OF making recon-

New Works New Judges.

Goyernor-elect Morton. of New York,
gives one good reason why he should not
appoint the twelve new supreme judges
provided for In the new Constitution
namely, he has no right to appoint them.
After naming a score of fine lawyers
who either deny or doubt his right TO
make the appointments. he adds:
with such weight of opinion against
the right, wisdom. and necessity OF ac-
ton on my part as Governor, have
determined to make no appointments
to these twelve new judicial offices, and
TO allow them to be filled by the choice
OF the electors at the next general cleo
ton, as contemplated and intended by
the act OF the Constitutional Convention"
The question now is. Who raised this
foolish question? Was 1t Choate, or
Seward. or who was it?
