BISHOP CREIGHTON.

The death of DR.. Creighton. the Bishop of Lon
don. is serious loss to the English Church. Long
before he became Bishop of Peterborough, in
1891 he had made a name for himself the
author of various historical works relating to
the Church. AS professor of ecclesiastical his
tory he left enduring mark those whom
he taught by the vivid pictorial character of his
lectures and his clear analysis of obscure epi-
sodes and movements in the Church As
Bishop he astonished every by his tremen-
dous capacity for work. He was described not
long ago the busiest man in London, and Ii
was a constant marvel to his friends how he
managed to do much and yet appear to have
time to spare for the discussion of politics. art
and literature. The old saying. IF you want to
get anything done ask busy man. was literally
true of him.
On the whole. his government of the great
metropolitan diocese of London was character
the power and opportunity of the Church. but
also its defects, which he did not hesitate to
point out fitting occasions. While he was a
good and loyal ChurChman his broad sympa-
thies could not he confined by the metes and
bounds of any school of thought. and as a result
he often said and did things which antagonized
the partisans Cf the High Low and Broad
Church parties. 1t will be well for the diocese
OF London If a successor be found who will
be his equal in zeal. devotion and ability.

EXPORTS OF STAPLE PRODUCTS.

December shipments of the principal products
were valued at S91. .S07 ,55S. exceeding all other
months with the exception of October, 1900 and
December 1898. The chief cause of the large
aggregate Is found IN shipments of cotton worth
S44 1853 7SS which is only second to the big
figures of October when this commodity went
abroad to the extent of sixty millions The
quantity was not exceptionally large. being ex-
ceeded in many months of recent years. but
SS2 615 bales at average price of OF cents
a pound means a great addition to credit
In the United Kingdom which took % 1874 553
pounds; Germany, 9,55O,46 and France, 1870
035 pounds Italy. Spain. Belgium and Canada
also liberal purchasers. even at the highest
prices in ten years.
Shipments of breadstuffs were the valu-
able since September 1899. although in this
also the total value of S24 323 665 was
chiefly due to the high prices rather than un-
usual quantity. Wheat including flour was
exported during December TO the amount OF
$13. 3.429eO6 against $9.97479 Z year previous

.JTSTICE IN TWO STATES.

The Molineux murder trial, fair sample of
the spectacular and sensational cases with
which New-York City has long been familiar
began on November IA. and 1t was not until
November %, more than two weeks later, that
jury was secured.
The Bosscheter murder trial at Paterson \. j..
for a crime and in circumstances at least fully
as grave and-if we may apply the word--as
sensat tional as the other, began little after 10
o'clock yesterday, and before IL o'clock the jury
box was satisfactorily filled. the actual time
spent-in selecting the twelve men being about
thirty-six minutes. or three minutes apiece.

and exports increased 2,293, I2O. During
the calendar year 1900 shipments of corn were
only 1S9.O95. .435 bushels against 2O4,4I4.11o in
the previous year. while the value was SS3,-
756.551. against $50 O56. $50 in 1899. During the
twelve months wheat exports decreased to 49,
O45. 139 bushels, against 191. .S16O45 in the pre-
ceding year.
Provisions went out freely without making any
unusual record for the last month. but the total
value of meats sent abroad during the year
1900 $202, ,251 699 an increase OF 81. .4S7 ,3S9
over 1899. which in turn was larger than pre-
ceding years. Butter shipments decreased,
while cheese gained about equal amount. BY
far the largest proportion in this division was
sent out from the port of NewYork, S91, ,2B,OlS.
against S50S36 900 from Boston. the next in
size. OF mineral oils the December movement
not exceptionally heavy either in quantity
value, but for the year there appears an
increase of S. 294 033 over 1899 and $50. 1924
over 1898. The bulk of exports in this class
was of illuminating oils, with New-York the
principal shipper and Philadelphia the only other
important point
1t is gratifying to find that the foreign de-
mand for many of these leading articles of
domestic production has not materially de-
creased despite the general advance in prices
In the of wheat the movement makes a
good comparison with December, 1899 even
to quantity, but this is found to result from
exceptionally light record a year ago. The
general range of wheat. corn and cotton closed
the year at from 10 to 80 per cent higher prices
than those prevailing a year previous and there
was every reason to anticipate serious loss in
exports. Thus far however, the official record
indicates striking curtailment, and it is prob
able that figures of manufactured exports will
make still more favorable exhibit in the record
of foreign trade for 1900.

LAND FOR OUR BRIDGES.

Commissioner Shea, the head of the Depart
ment of Bridges. has submitted plea TO the
Board of Estimate aud Apportionment for the
purchase OF additional land for the approaches
to the Willis Avenue Bridge over the Harlem.
The Board has referred the .Iatter to the Con-
troller. who will undoubtedly Sift the suggested
plan thoroughly. Many year will come and
go before the Willis Avenue Bridge will be as
useful as the Blackwell's Island Bridge will be
when it is completed. Before the lofty towers

Mr.. Richards continues his argument with
quotation from Mr.. Justice Harlan:

over 1t would be founded on another system
Mr.. Richards continues his argument with a
quotation from Mr. Justice Harlan:
Has Congress, under 1.-The general right or
sovereignty existing in the Government of the
United States to all matters committed TO
its exclusive control, including the making or
needful rules and regulations respecting the Ter
ritories of the United States any less power
over the judges of the Territories than state
IL unrestricted by it's own organic law. might
exercise over the judges of it's own creation?
From this Mr. Richards thinks it fair TO con-
clude that what a State can do the United
States can do in it's capacity as local govern
ment of the territory under its exclusive con-
troll, over which, Mr.. Justice Gray says, it
has ''the entire dominion and sovereignty, Ma
tional and municipal, Federal and State" The
Solicitor-General also quotes from Mr.. Justice
White and Mr.. Justice Brewer as authority for
historical statements or legal views directly in
line with his contention. AS we say. these JUS
tices may not think those views exactly apply
TO the present eases, but when those expressions
are so much in line with the Governments posi-
tiOn that the Solicitor-G eneral POUNDS some of
his strongest arguments upon them, we may feel
sure the Justices will carefully consider their
application and may well abandon the fancy
that they entered on the hearing with minds
made up because they happened TO ask sharp
and pointed questions TO develop the position of
counsel 1t is interesting, of course, to specu-
late on the result. but the spectators should not
be disappointed if the Justices do not make up
their minds just as is assumed in guesses based
on insufficient induction.
