An amendment to the Constitution Of the
| United States making the Federal Judges cleo.
| tive in proposed BY Senator Marion Butler Of
| North Carolina. In advocacy of the change Sen.
ator Butler IL reported TO have said that in
| every State In tho Union the Judiciary IL elected
| and the tenure of office fixed. This statement
| IA very far from correct. In Massachusetts the
Judges are appointed by tho Governor and hold
| Office during good behavior, like the Judges of
| the United States. Mr.. Buffers scheme con-
templates a term of :eight years for the Fed

The Chief Justice OF the Supreme Court he would
have elected by o popular vote throughout tho
entire Union. lie would also empower Con-
court to thirteen. The argument In support
Of the proposed amendment is that IL the cleo
tive system Is best for most Of the States, 1t is
best for the nation. 1t must be observed, how
ever, that the conditions with which the Federal
Judiciary have to deal are In many essential 70
spects very different from those which aheot
State Judges.

An extraordinary story comes from Omaha
concerning a murder case. In a despatch to
the New York Tribune it Is stated that on Fri
day the Acknowledgement Of Nebraska argued
before the Supreme Court of that State an appli.
cation for q new trial in the case of O lad 16
years old who yves recently convicted Of muir
derine n man in Red Willow county. Instead
Of Irving to uphold tho conviction, tho Attor-
ey-general told the court that it ought to be
set aside. because the boy was not properly de-.
Tended. It seems that his counsel on the trial
vas a horse doctor who had Just been admitted
To the bar. and this gentleman omitted to offer
nnv evidence I'm behalf of his client. There can
hardly be any doubt that q new trial will be
granted under these circumstances. Even in
New York 1t occasionally happens that &C.
cused persons are not half defended, and that
unjust convictions are prevented only by the
action of an intelligent Judge in saving a de-
PENDANT from the effect of his counsel's blum.

In the address which ne delivered on the occa-
weeks ago Lord Esther. the late Master of the
Rolls. declared that the law of England is not a

miles of right and wrong to the particular case
before the court. Speaking of his own judicial
methods. he said he had always promoted the
efforts of litigants to bring the real issues be.
tween them to a trial and determination. 81
