A Righteous Ruling.

An incident which happened In Wash
ington shortly before the retirement OF
General Schofield has occasioned wide
spread comment. A retired army Of
ficer, Captain Armes, sent to the acting
secretary Of war, who at the moment,
was General Schofeld, letter bitter
ly complaining of that gentleman's Of
fetal conduct. Awaiting himself of his
authority as general OF the army, Gen.
eral Schofield ordered the captains ar
rest and impetuously sentenced him to
q term of Imprisonment. On appeal to
the civil authorities the case came be-
fore Judge Bradley, Of the District OF
Columbia Supreme court, who ordered
Captain Armes' release, accompanying
that order with vigorous rebuke for
General schofield's hasty action. which
ne pronounced illogical. unfair, arbi-
trary and tyrannical.
An attempt has been made by the
war department authorities to defend
General Schofleld's hastiness by means
Of the plea that It was necessary for
the proper maintenance Of military dis
cipline. The Philadelphia Times very
singularly lends its columns to the dis
semination of this fallacy, and covers

Of Armes. A much fairer attitude is
assumed by the impartial Chicago
Times-Herald, which contends that "no

The Supreme Courts Decision.

The decision Of the supreme court
affirming the constitutionality of the
act creating the Superior court, there
by reversing the recent decision OF
Judge Slmonton. ends a contention
which, although originally needless,
nevertheless threatened to become con-
fusing. It will be seen by perusal of
the abstract of Justice Deans opinion
for the majority, printed on our first
page, that the court of ultimate ap-
peal holds to the common sense Of the
issue. by deciding that the existence Of
authorized precedents for restricted
voting-as in the case of justices of the
Supreme court, and in that of county
commissioners-affor adequate room
for the application of this principle to
another class of offices, similar in name
to and in spirit part of the Supreme
court itself
I'm the cases specified" says Justice
Dean, "the constitution is mandatory;
it says to the legislature in enumerat-
ing them, Thou shalt prescribe the linn
tied voting plan In the cases not
enumerated, It is discretionary" This
is so obviously a deduction of logic as

Figures quoted at the receat State
Poor Directors convention show that
pauperism is decreasing. but the de-
crease Is slow. In 1870 there were in
the United State 1883 paupers to every
100000 Inhabitants: in 1883. the ratio
had dwindled to 1880 per million and in
1890 1t was only 1,166. 1t Is significant,
most wholly to the North Atlantic
states, where there has been systema-
tic and intelligent effort to cope with
the problem. Pauperism does not cure
itself

Correspondent Curtis, Of the Chicago
Record, confirms an opinion yesterday
expressed on this page. when he writes
from New York: General Harrison
would be gratified to know the respect
and confidence that is felt for him and
the thorough Endorsement that Is given
his administration by business men Of
all shades Of political opinion and pref
erence. While the politicians of New
York as well as elsewhere would be
likely to oppose his nomination with
all their vigor. the business men could
not be better satisfied with the selec-
tfon of any other candidate" General
Harrison may not be nominated next
year, but It is unwlse to conclude that
he Is no longer a considerable factor
in presidential politics.
