hitherto, when practised by these other nations
we see no convincing reason for getting over
heated about 1t now. just because it happens 10
be Great Britain that is practising it-the POWER
which has in late years done somewhat less
frequently than most other great Powers.
The only policy The Tribune has advocated
II 1t has advocated any-is in general terms
one that will guard against any recurrence OF
the present and recent troubles. that will estab-
lish liberty. equality and fraternity" and that
will bring and keep all South Africa in touch
with the advance of civilization and enlighten-
ment. Precisely how those ends are best to be
attained we do not presume to declare. We have
merely expressed the benevolent hope, which
we confident Is shared by the mass OF right
minded men the world around, that they will In
some way be attained a result Of the present
war. If the British Government thinks and de-
cdes 1t best TO seek those ends by merging the
Boer States in the Empire, so eventually to
make of South Africa dominion like that or
Canada, or a United States like that of Aus
tralia it will assume the responsibility of vim
dicating It's policy through success, and we shall
await the outcome with entire complacence.

PRESIDENT ELIOT TO BE ONE OF THE
JUDGES TO DECIDE ON NAMES.
The Executive Committee Of the trustees OF New
York University met in the office of William F.
Havemeyer No 80 Nassau-st-. yesterday and made
plans for the new Hall of Fame. 1t was announced
that President Charles w. Eliot, Of Harvard. had
accepted the invitation TO be one OF the 100 Judges
who are TO decide what names shall be inscribed
in the Hall of Fame. The rest of the judges Will
be chosen by the University Senate Monday
next. Chancellor MacCracken said that the Hall
would cost about S200,ooo,
The original donor has given II ALL he said,
although the first estimate was 100000. OF
course l cannot tell you the name Of this donor,
for the whole affair is to be anonymous. As far
the university is concerned that name will
be known, and may say that all informa-
ton printed this point is gratuitous- This
500 600 does not the busts and statues. We
have been offered two collections Of mementos
If the names of those to whom the mementos
relate are among the chosen. We cannot accept
any offers on such conditions, even If sure
the names will be chosen. These proposed names
Edgar Allan Poe George Washington and
Thomas jefferson"
Chancellor MacCracken gave out the following
statement with reference to the Museum of the
Hall of Fame:
The granite edifce which will serve as the toun
Sation Of It the & Hal fI Of +, Fame shall be named the
shall be the commemoration of the great
Americans whose names are inscribed in the col
Of portraits and other Important mementos Of
these citizens. The six rooms and the long corridor
shall in succession be set apart to this exclusive
The 10 be used first shall be named
the Washington Gallery and shall be apart so
soon ten or more portraits of the persons in
scribed shall be accepted for permanent preserva-
tion by the university The other shall be
named and set apart for the exclusive above
specified their space shall in the judg-
of the Museum of the Hall of Fame The outer
western walls Of the Hall OF Languages and Of the
Hall of Philosophy. which look into the Hail of
Fame. shall be treated as part of the same. and
no Inscription shall be placed upon them except
such as relate to the great names inscribed in the
$50 panels.

office was bargained for with those having in
f1uence TO secure 1t would be exclaimed over
for a day and good naturedly forgotten. Three
quarters of century ago John Randolph's "Bli
fill and Black George combination" charge
against Adams and Clay aroused the whole
country and kept it aroused. The charge was
cruel libel, but whenever Clay came before the
people they had 1t In their minds to care whether
it was true false. and he had to meet that
question. To-day 1t might be shown In detail
that some Senator negotiated fraudulent or
Illegal bank loans, or that some Governor made
deliberate false statements about his actions
and as likely as not neither would be seriously
pressed for explanation or excuse. They would
simply rest on the fact that the people didn't
care, and that the memory Of the lie or fraud
would elbow over"
That is the disposition which makes reform
In New-York City and resistance to organized
corruption in politics difficult. 1t is the disposi-
ton which makes public morality spasmodic
But it does worse than that It creates popu-
lace like that Of Rome which demanded its
grain largess, its spectacles and amusements,
its baths and other public works. and let the
bosses rule it. We have the bosses Are we TO
have a populace content with PENSIONS with
places from It's district leaders, with f,amboyant
celebrations, and with open bribery, blackmail
and sale OF law? This is not question Of poll
tics, but of civilization Of what The Spectator"
calls the primary condition of the moral nature
Oh which politics depends, and our English OBJ
server is right in condemning as our serious
fault that mere good nature, so popular
"superfcially attractive so fatally corrupting.

"of revolutionary Paris probably work less mis-
chief IN the body polite than easy going indif
ference to public crimes"

JUSTICE BARRETT IN TRIALS.

The decision of Justice Barrett to leave the
Appellate Division on May and TO resume his
former judicial duties at trial term will be re-
ceived by the public, and particularly by mem
bers of the bar, with mingled feelings of sur
prise. regret and pleasure. Since this court was
created it has come to be looked upon not only
tribunal of great influence and character
but the seats upon it have been considered as
among the choicest of judicial prizes. AS to
large class of cases it is practically the court Of
last resort in this State; ii is sufficiently large to
give to its judgment the influence and authority
of union of five judicial minds; it is presumed
TO be made up of the most distinguished and ex-
perienced Supreme Court Judges and the sal
aries paid them are high Not only Justice Bar
rett but one or two others of his associates
have declined opportunities to go from that
bench to the Court of Appeals. The announce
ment of Justice Barretts present purpose may
therefore we'll he called a surprise.
Feelings of regret naturally arise from action
that will deprive this important court of the
presence and work of one Of the ablest of the
judges who have sat in the Appellate tribunals
Of this State for many years But, valuable
have been his labors in the review of judgments
rendered below, Justice Barrett possesses in
such high degree the uncommon qualities of
great trial judge that we believe the lawyers
of New-YOrk will all rejoice to see him return
to the field where he first established his judi
cal reputation. On the whole. the public gain
will probably be greater than the loss. Justice
Barrett is certain of hearty welcome to his
former place from his associate judges and the
members of the bar.
The trial courts in this county will receive
additional strength, of which they stand in
need, II Justice Barrett's successor in the Ap-
pelate Division is chosen from another part of
the State So great is the demand for more
judges in this county that the people are to be
asked to vote upon a constitutional amendment
providing for the election of four others. Gov
ernor Roosevelt has it in his power. in making
this designation, TO add one trial judge to the
present force. The two most prominently men
toned in connection with the place are Justice
Williams and Justice Hiscock Either would be
an excellent appointee. Justice Williams gave
great satisfaction when he formerly sat in this
Appellate Division, and Justice Hiscock al
though a young man, has established a high
reputation in the comparatively short time he
has been on the bench

One of our Chicago readers has written
letter, which we should be glad to print If he
did not say it was not intended for publication
charging us with advocating the annexation of
mently protesting against such a course as no
more justifable than the partition of Poland
We beg TO reply that he must have misread
his Tribune. This journal has not been advo-
eating that or any other specific policy. We do
not conceive it TO be The Tribune's business to
in South Africa or elsewhere. What The Trib-
une has done is this: 1t has stated what. ac-
cording to the best obtainable information the
British policy is or is likely to be- and 1t has
set forth without favor or prejudice the reasons
of the British Government for adopting that

So far as this particular policy is concerned,
we have simply pointed out that 1t Is in exact

Grafton has seen II practised with actually less
show of right than the present case Affords by
the Kingdom Of Prussia, by the German EN-
pire. by the Russian Empire, by the French
Republic and by the United States of America.

1t does seem to bar any Of the nations named

FREEDOM OR DEsPOrIsm IN CHICAGO.

Chicago is not a happy city if the account
given in the special dispatches published yester-
day do not enormously represent its political
and industrial conditions. If it is no longer pos
sible 10 get protection for free labor or Justice
from corrupt courts or teErorzed jures, then
the time is not far distant when some revou-
tiOnary outbreak will occur. Ballots generally
bring in the end, even for the evils that bal
lots have evolved, but sometimes rioting comes
first, and then the armed force that is needed
10 restore order and make honest ballots DOS
sible. Some symptoms point toward a return
in Chicago of the anarchistic warfare which
arrested transportation in that city for time
When the lawless elements have gained such
control that they think nothing can restrain
them. a wild outbreak of fury is likely to come
with the first sign Of restraint. Had not Chi
cagO been in the hands OF mob once already
il would be less easy to believe that progressive
men and the substantial people of such a city
could be brought TO a point where an army only
could restore order and freedom But the ac-
counts sent East do not seem overstrained in
view of some recent events.
81 the bottom is the question how far law is
respected and obeyed by the labor organizations
which seek 10 control the Industries of the Guy.
Dispatches state that proofs already OBJ
tanned that selected men from some of the or
esiIiLdll3ilS IOItIplg utpIlfluS Tree workers
OF their right 10 work on what terms they please
Whether called "sluggers" or by any other name,
they appear 10 be defying all law in depriving
individuals of their rights. just as the Molly
Maguires" did in the days of rioting in Penn
syIvania coal mines. There is no room for dis
pute about the lawlessness Of such a resort TO
force or terrorism. The free American citizen
has a right 20 work or not 70 work as he peases
and 10 join q union not. No man nor body
of men can lawfully stop him from the exercise
OF his right if he wishes TO work without con-
sent of any organization. Those who try to
prevent him by violence or by threats are simply
enemies OF all law.
The worthiest labor organizations will not toll
crate such conduct on the part of their members
Others that not worthy do tolerate and en-
courage il. Unfortunately for Chicago, a great
number of men of the latter class has gathered
there for years past, so that the Debs outbreak
appeared TO be more the work of secret inter
national bands of anarchists than OF any legiti-
mate union of laborers. Many accounts within
the last few months have indicated that men
of the same temper and character We're active
and influential in labor controversies at Chicago.
The demands made by workers in the building
trades were apparently never meant to be
granted. But when the international Associa-
ton of Machinists formally declared that IL
could not control its Chicago branch in arresting
a strike until the result could be known Of an
arbitration which 1T had urged, it became clear
