THE GERMAN CIVIL CODE.

The final adoption of the Civil Code by the
Reichstag marks an epoch in the history OF
Germany, perhaps In the universal history Of
Jurisprudence. 1t is an achievement TO which
there are few parallels The Code Napoleon
comes TO mind, Of course. as the one similar
work of modern times. 1t was completed much
more quickly than the new German Code, and
close comparison may show II to have been less
carefully drawn. Beyond that. for another
PARALLEL we must go back TO the Digest Of
Justinian. which was still more quickly and
less carefully prepared. The German code, in
deed Is the product of all unusual amount Of
labor extending through II long period OF time.
Strictly speaking ii goes back 10 the War for
Indepcndence Of 1S1314. when the demand for
such a code began to arise That demand was
renewed in 1913, and again more strongly In
1866 II was not however. until the creation
Of the Empire in 1871 that an official commits
sion was constituted for the purpose OF draft
ing such code The present instrument repre-
scpts. therefore, the results Of twenty-five years

The frec-silver plank Of the Chicago PLATFORM
explicitly and of necessity involving repud'a-
tion has hitherto naturally mOnopollzcd at'ch-
ton But there are other declarations anu
pledges In the platform which should be con-
stantly kept in mind by honest citizens, WHO
want and intend to take part in this momentous
campaign and to vote right in November Here
is one Of them:

Opinions may honestly differ as to the pro-
pricty and advantage of an income tax, though
not as to the validity and binding force OF the
decision rendered year ago. and Citizens WHO
are competent to weigh the arguments III such
u case may not all agree with the court which
so decided But this Democratic dcliverance on
the subject Is far more than mere ihdofse-
ment Of the income tax and dissent from the
decision 1t distinctly threatens reconstruc-
ton of the Supreme Court Of the United states
for the purpose Of reversing that decision. In
word, it proposes. so soon and so far as pos
sbc. to degrade the tribunal of last resort, the
Interpreter and bulwnrk of the Constitution, by
demanding rs condition of appointment to
that bench a pledge Of adherence to IA certain
political policy. A man capable OF so signing
away his Judgment and conscience in advance
as to one matter would be capable OF bctraying
his sacred trust in all matters. Such a degrada-
ton of the Supreme Court would be stupell-
dous calamity 1t Is not to be believed that
the people will ratfy a programme for the
barter and sale Of judgeships

According to Information that has come to
1.-THE Brooklyn Eagle" the members Of the Char
ter Commission have reached the unanimous con-
clusion that there will he revival OF Boards OF
Supervisors in this city and Brooklyn. and that
there will be no need after consolidation OF such
q Board In Richmond County. The Tribune has
already expressed It's regret that the apparent
necessity for the re-esta bshmcnt OK these
Boards existed and It trusts that tho interpreta-
ton OF the members OF the Commission Will prove
to be correct. Our reading Of the Constitution.
however was In accord with the view expressed
by Governor Morton in bs message approving
the Greater New-York bill. and we confess that
we do not see how the Commissioners have come
to a different decision. The Constitution pro-
vides: There shall be IN the several counties.
except In cities whose boundaries are the same
AS those Of the county. Board OF Supervisors.
etc This language exactly covers the case Of
the city and county OF New-YorlS and the city Of
Brooklyn and county Of Kings. In each instance
the boundaries Of the city are the same as the
boundaries Of the county. But does Il cover the
case Of a city comprising the whole OF three cOun-
ties and part Of fourth? 1t is question Of
Interpretation. and en- authoritative interpreta-
ton can be given only by the court Of last re-
sort Whether It will ever be carried there Is
doubtful Certainly we have not the slightest de-
sire to see Boards Of Supervisors set up again.
They would be an unmixed evil We trust that
the Commissioners are right. and that they will
be upheld by the courts II the courts are called
upon to pass on the point
