The Monument Decision.

The Chancellor's decision in the matter
of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument is
the only one which could be looked for.
It has both law and learning on its SIDE
The kickers rave no standing whatever
in court. 1t cannot even be shown that
they contributed any considerable part Oh
the fund to pay for the monument They
were mere Intermediates.
The grounds of complaint were prepos-
ferrous. Placing the very best construc-
ton upon them, they were merely the
assertion of the vulgar and the common
place against the inspired and the artis-
tic. One gentleman d~isapproved OF the
accepted design because he wanted a
monument like those which are being
erected all over the country. This Is
funnv. The usual aim of people is to get
something uncommon, novel-original, as
the slang term goes.
The debate before the Chancellor de-
veloped some amusing NEUROLOGICAL lore.
one of the gentlemen, learned in the law,
announced that Pallas-Athene was not a
goddess, but only a NEUROLOGICAL old
woman. Another declared that the Roman
goddess. Minerva, was Hellenicized at a
very early period. How olympus must
have ~shuddered. The Chancellor smiled
quizzica1 smile and threw the whole
nonsense out of COURT.

The bar Association and the
Journal Libels.

The action of the Bar Association Com
mittee in the Noonan-Simpson case Is a
very painful product of narrow preJudlce
ana disregard for law and right. The
presentation of the case against these
men to the Supreme Court while the Grim
snal prosecution is still pending in the
lower courts is a sore injustice and might
be a serious embarrassment to the Judges.
The proceeding is so wrong-headed, tnat
1t is not unlikely the Cour will refuse 10
entertain any motion IN the subject at
this time.
The action of the Committee is all the
more reg~rettable since the charges against
the accused are now practically ADAM
doned as false and untenabie by the paper
which advanced them. The accused Sc
cured an aeouittal in all save the technical
sense from the jury which heard all the
evidence. The Evening Journal mas
utterly dropped the matter as if it were
red holland so it is for the Journal
the officers of the law are plainly con-
WINGED that the men are innocent and
that a prosecution is a nonsensical waste
of time and money.
In detail, the course of the Committee
appears to be as scandalous as its de-
cision is cruel and unjust 1t reaches its
conclusions without even reading the evil
dence for the defence Gould more De
said against it? And this is its own adj

ing under an adverse verdict found by
one OF these same juries and the other
was ~endeavoring to uphold it. Therefore,
perhaps. neither opinion can be regarded
as precisely unbiased.
But the habit of speaking evil OF the
average juries in this county has grown
too common. It suits the politics Of a
certain party and it suits. the vanity and
business interests of all defeated parties
to a suit. whether lawyers or clients. OF
course, in their estimation, it is always
the jury that is to blame. In other words
there is always a large and aggressive
section Of the public ready to speak III
of the panel, while there is no one IN
particular to defend the jurymen.
As a matter OF fact. petit juries in Hud-
son are as good as they are in any other
county of the State. as good as they are
in New York. or Pennsylvania or probably
anywhere else. Men of substance and
position and high ability try to keep on
them everywhere because they feel that
their gifts are wasted on the issues that
are brought before them. But the class
of men who serve are possessed OF good
average intelligence and education and
experience of life. They are quite able
to grasp the questions which come before
them, and h fact that min out Of ten
of their verdicts hold good is the best
vindication of their efficiency.
Perhaps it might be better II the num-
Der of cases tried by jury-especially in
civil issues-could be very much reduced
Perhaps a bench of n or two expert
judges might be more satisfactory. But
it is quite worth while keeping in mind
that. for one verdict which is set aside
as being against the weight OF evidence,
half a dozen judgments are upset on ac-
count of erroneousr rulings by the Court.
Anyway this carping at all things Hud-
son is small and injurious. It is by this
u~neeasing d-epreciatory process that the
reputation of the community is befouled
and its material interests are retarded.
