The address Of Rev. Or. Hoge on fu-
neral reforms, which we.published yester-
day, contains some suggestions which are
so obviously in the right direction that
It is amazing there should be any neces-
sity for reform IN those particulars.
His remarks upon the cost Of funerals
are most timely. 1t is out Of all reason
that poor families should be pinehed
for months in consequence of the expense
entailed by a funeral. which it has come
10 be fashion 10 spend large sums on.
The expense is fashion. and nothing
else. Proper respect for the memory OF
the deceased does not require an outlay
upon his funeral that will add to the
afiliction and sunerings Of his family.
But 1t has come 10 be a fashion TO have
expensive funerals. and all the population
feel bound to follow the example that is
set.
With the hope OF setting an example
of simplicity in funerals. the Duke OF
Westminster. the wealthiest peer in Great
Britain. buried his only son, the Marquis
wooden coffin. It is certain that until
those to whom great expense is not a
consideration adopt the simplest forms
OF funerals. the fashion VIII not be set.
and the expensive style viii 20 on. DR..
Hoge's views on this subject are most
timely. Equally 50 is what he says OF
the exposure individuals are subjected 10
at funerals. Many men and women are
now in their graves because Of disease
contracted at funerals that there was
no reason whatever for mourning. II our
memory serves us right, General Joseph
Z. Johnston died from cold caught by
exposure at the funeral Of his old rival,
General Sherman.
AS TO addresses az funerals. there Is
probably not a person who VIII read
DIR. Hoges remarks who cannot recall
some instance In which there has beer
"a wide disparity between the eulogy al
the funeral and the common opinion OF
the deceased. God is the Judge. anc
though the common opinion may be re-
versed at the court OF Heaven, yet the
effect Of funeral address which is re
garded as a mere eulogy is not edifying Il
the congregation. The best rule is &c
say nothing.
The subject In Its various phases ha;
been treated by DIR. Boge wisely snc

Radical Changes in the Law.

To the Editor of The Times:
Sir-Prompted doubtless by desire 10
reduce the criminal expenses Oh the STATE
the late General Assembly has made SONIC
radical changes In the criminal PROCEDURE
and OF greater consequence In eHect llah
would be supposed upon hrst exahiha-
ION Under the law, as il stood on the

Tbe present Court of Appeals. having
set aside the ruling OF the former court

ON the ist day Of May. 1888, was restored
The General Assembly at its last session
conferred upon justices Of the peace eA-
elusive original jurisdiction or all cases
of misdemeanor occurring within their
jurisdiction, and the discretionary power
given the Justice to determine whether
ne would decide the case or certify the
same 10 the court for trial. is taken away.
ana he must try, or procure some other
Justice to try, every misdemeanor case
DroUght before HIM.
The pertinent inquiry arises here, can
a grand jury take cognizance OF any case
of misdemeanor and make presentment
or Indictment of the same? What dispo-
sition would be made of such case? II
the court proceeded 10 trial, II would be
exercising original jurisdiction, which the
law has conferred exclusively upon JUS
tees Of the peace; nor is there any power
conferred upon the courts TO certify
presentment or Indictment to justice
of the peace for trial. The only approach
to such a procedure was when an in
dictment for felony had been found
without a previous examination by a
justice that copy of the Indictment
should be made and sent TO n justice for
an examination of the party thereon,
and, OF course. not for trial; and that re-
quirement of the law has long since been
abolished.
In this connection. It may be stated.
there are numerous crimes that are rarely
ever reached save through the inquisi-
torlai functions ef . grand Jury. The
