Senator Hanna is getting alarmed about the ship subsidy bill. which he said at the beginning of the session he would get through the senate before the holiday recess. He has changed his mind.
 The New York Sun calls attention to the fact that hazing was stopped at Annapolis several years ago. and that it has been frOWned on there ever since Officers of the navy do not seem to think that personal abuse should be a part of every young otfi- cers education. It is about time that this opinion prevailed at West Point. Recent events there not alone the BCoZ case have led+the public to think that the hazing idea has been carried altogether too far. West Point had better stop it fer it's own good.-New Britain Herald. .s-.-
 The report of the special Connec- ticllt commission OH public records. which we published yesterday, is an indictment of the present methods of caring forss local public documents throughout the state and plea for reform. Scandalous. almost, are some of the conditions which are. disclosed by the commission. The importance of these records is not generally recOg- rized. the methods Of keeping them are varied and in many cases slip-shOd. and adequate protection against fire is seldom provided. The commissions revelations supply the public with knowledge. Public knowledge ought to be followed by reform. The work of the commission is educational. Ed 11"ation should lead to early action. The commission has pressed the but ton. It remains for the legislature and public to do the rest.-Hartford Post.
 John Addison Porter was an inter esting figure in Connecticut politics for q number of years. His ambition was honorable He wished to be gov ernor. and made no secret of his wish. He tried again and again. and was always beaten by men who knew the game better and regarded him as an intruder in their preserves But for the politicians he would have been nominated and elected. but no man can play politics and avoid the politicians. Still less may he seem to regard some of the most active of them as beings of a lower .oruer. Neither by disposi- ton nor education was Afr Porter adaptad to getSpn witIlsa large class of his fellow citizens insahe, close relation . of practical politics.

SIN case all or any of the justices
of the supreme court shall be thus dis

from presiding in any cause or causes,
the court or the justices thereof shall
certify the same to the goverHor of

commission specially the requisite
number of men, learned in the law,

Interesting Supreme Court Decision In
Greenville Case.

Interesting Supreme Court Decision In I
Greenville Case.
Greenville News,
An important and interesting de
cision just handed down by the South
Carolina supreme court is that in tn
case of Marchbanks against March
banks, taken up on an appeal from
this county by Lawyer Adam c. Wei
born, on the ground that the magis
trate in the case failed to charge tht
iury. Mr.. Welborn held that it wa:
mandatory on the officer to charge ano
the supreme court has sustained hi
view. The Columbia correspondence
of The News and Courier of yesterday
contained the following:
"The supreme court has filed quite
a number of decisions within the last
day or two. Many of these decisions
involve old issues and points of law
Several present interesting and nove
points. 80,
One which may be regarded with
considerable concern, and presents 9
phase of humor, is in the case ot
Marchbanks against Marchbanks
The court points out that magistrates
the ordinary trial justices-ought to
know the law, and if they do not know
it then they ought to resign. 1t is
hard enough for great many lawyers
to do that, and if the magistrates OF
this state were to have to undergo the
very lightest kind of an examination
thew would not have much of chance
The point, however, is that the court
holds that magistrates have no right to
comment on the facts or to give their
views to their juries but are simply
to state the law and stop there. 1t
will be difficult matter for them TO do
so but such is the law as announced
by the highest tribunal in the state.
In the case at issue the supreme
court says: "The appeal herein raises
the question whether magistrates are
within the terms of section 26, article
S of the constitution, which provides :
Judges shall not charge juries in res.
pect to matters of fact; but shall de-
clare the law" The decision goes
on to say: "The word judges, with.
out superadded words, of the circuit
court is sometimes used in the con.
stitution 80 as to embrace magistrates

court. For instance, section g., article
