ing justice at trial in his discretion
to permit party who has called wit
ness and has been surprised by his testi-
mony to put in evidence contradictory
statements made by the witness to the
party who has called him, or his attor-
ne.y This is in line with statutes in many
of the States. and its propriety seems
obvious.
Law on UsGrers.
Section 1852: This section relates to
usury. As it stands in the code it pro-
vides that only the excess over the legal
interest paid by the debtor shall be ap-
Piled in the reduction of the principal
OF the debt. The amendment provides that
all payments Of interest on usuri9us
contract shall be deemed to have been
made on account OF the principal debt
thus compelling the creditor who enters
into such a contract TO lose the whole of
the interest. AS the section stands the
debtor would run Nc risk, because he
would be sure Of getting the legal rate
OF interest in any event.
Section 1911: This section relates to
new promises to take ,he case out of the
statute OF limitations The proposed
/ amendment puts promise made after
full age 20 pay 4 debt contracted during
infancy upon the same footing as prom
/ lSe to pay debt which has been barred
/ by the statute of limitations, by requir-
| ing that in the one case as in the other
| the promise must be in writing.
Reel Estate Requests.
Section 1928: This section provides that
a will shall pass real estate acquired by
the testator after the date of the will
unless contrary intention is manifested
The proposed amendment is to avoid the
possibility that because of the repeal of
an act Of Congress passed in Jenuary, 1887
which provided that after-acquireG real
estate should pass in such cases when
that intention was expressed in the wiz,
it might be held that after acquired real
q estate would not pass under a Will exc
cuted after that date. even when the tes-
tator explicitly directed that it should
pass.
Section 1913: II has beer suggested in
some quarters that the repeal provisions
Of the code as they stand viii have the
! effect of putting an end to the terms OF
Office of a number OF officials in the Dis
tTiCt-the United States District Attor-
ncy, United States Marshal, Police Court
( Judges, Notaries Public, etc While it is
believed that this is an erroneous view
of the matter, il is thought best 70 avoid
the possibility OF such construction of
the code by this new Section which
makes it plain that the term Of no eff
ciaI shall be affected, except where. as
in the case OF Justices OF the Peace and
Constables, it IS clearly intended that
their terms shall cease"

MORE THAN ONE VOTE.

A Cuban Scheme to Offset Universal Suffrage
HAVANA, June 29.-The commits
sion on the electoral law has finished
it's report, but it has not yet been
published. Conservative delegates
say the report is TOO radical to be
accepted. The subject of discussion
now is whether voters should be al
lowed to have more than one vote.
Some of the most conservative dele
gates propose that besides the vote
which every man has he shall also
be allowed an extra vote if he is the
father of a family or if he pays more
than certain amount of taxes, or
if he has degree. In this way one
man could have four votes, and it is
claimed that this would have a ten
dency to change the face of affairs.
This move will be proposed as an
Offset to universal suffrage.
