Furniture Consolidation

A movement is now on foot for the con-
solidation of all the furniture factories in
the northwestern states. The subject of
combination was broached some time ago,
but 1t was only recently that the matter as
sumed tangible form. For years past there
has been very small margin of profit in the
Notwithstanding industry. The present
scheme is to place the companies under one
general head, by which the output can be
controlled, territory fairly distributed and
expense of management decreased.

SUSPENSION or SENTENCE
L is an Exercise Of The PardOnIne Power Limit.
cd 10 The President and Council Of State
BY The Constitution,

TIE discussion in the Senate on
the cond reading Of House Bill
No. |, an Act to provide for the
suspending of sentences in certain
cases, was mainly on the report of
the Judiciary Committee, which
returned the bill without recon-
mendation.
In their report the Committee
said it had been the long practise
of police or district magistrates
when requested by the prescott
ing officer to suspend sentence,
after trial and conviction upon
criminal charges, and was never
questioned until lately when the
Supreme Court, in the case of
1.-The Republic vs. Pedro" held
that courts of record had the
power of suspending sentence but
not indefinitely and that the 30
lice or district magistrate has not.
ln consequence of that decision,
this Act was introduced.
In disposing of the case above
referred to (Republic vs.. Pedro)
the Supreme Court did not so far
as we recollect pass upon the con.
stitutionality of the power of sus-
pending sentence, as it was not
raised. Subdivision 7 of Article
81 of the Constitution places the
pardoniDg power of the state in
the hands of the President and
Council of State. The Act now
under consideration provides that
any judge of court of record or
district magistrate may suspend
sentence for any period MOTTO ex-
coed ID months, and after the ex-
piration of that period, if sentence
in the meantime had not been i'm
posed, the person so convicted
shall not thereafter be liable to
sentence on the charge for which
he was tried and convicted.
In our opinion this is an
exercise of the pardoning
power by the judge or dis
trict magistrate delegated to him
by the Legislature, when the Con
stitution strictly limits such power
to the President and Council OF
State. We have grave doubts OF
the constitutionality of this Act
Another objection is, that it ia too
sweeping, Ii the power of sus-
pending sentence was confined to
minors or where first offense
had been committed or in the case
of misdemeanors,s something might
be said in its favor, but in its pre-
sent form we think too much
power is given and in many cases
might lead, especially in the outer
districts, to collision between the
prosecuting officers, criminals and
district magistrates. We have
stated our objections to this Act
and submit the same to the, s n
ate for such action as they may
deem best and make no recon
mendation as to the disposition oil
the same.
Attorney General Smith argued
against the report and in favor o.
the bill 1t was true that tn,
courts of New York State had helt
that similar law was unconsti-
tutional as interfering with thu
pardoning power of the Governor
but other States had held just th,
opposite. He was willing to take
all chances on the constitutionali-
ty of the bill.
The bill seemed to be general,
favored by the Senators and pass
ed second reading without a divi-
sion

SEVERAL HAVE DECLINED
IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO SERVE
ON THE COMMITTEE.
Gordon, Lamont and Lincoln Are Not
Likely to Accept-Others Are

Washington, Sept. I1.-At the white
house no statement was made as to the
status Of the commission to inquire into
the administration of army bureaus. al
though IL was understood that most OF the
gentlemen invited by the president 10
serve on the commission had been heard
from. Some Of them, however, had written
that they had the matter under consid-
Grafton and it was thought to be desira-
BILE to await final conclusions by all those
asked TO serve before making ahs an
nouucement. II appears to be accepted
among high officials that General Gordon,
Mr.. Lamont and Mr.. Lincoln are not like
ly to accept.
The ex-secretsries OF war are busy men
of affairs, and it is thought to be hardly
probable that they can spare the time
for the work of the commission. 1t was
reported that Mr.. Lannon'S declination
had been received, but this. on inquiry.
failed of confirmation. The opinion was
expressed by high officials that General
Henderson. Colonel Sexton and Or. Keen
might serve, As stated. however, some OF
the gentlemen have written that they
have had the matter under advisement
and there is considerable doubt as to
what the result will be.
