The AVIS DELAY.

In the United District Court at Savan-
Eah on Friday last Judge Emery Speer
took occasion to deliver a just and timely
lecture on the laws delay. The court
had been trying for some time past to
get its grip on two men who were charged
with swindling the Government out OF
large sums of money. Judge Speer
said:
They were first indicted more than.
two years ago, and after successfully de-
laying the execution of the process of a
court of the United States and placing
an enormous cost upon the Government,
in the attempt to enforce its authority,
they We're finally compelled to appear for
trial at this term of the court. The term
has lasted for nearly month. It has
been almost entirely devoted to the labor
ious and careful disposition Of dilatory
or preliminary objections interposed by
their counsel, and finally when ordered
to appear and plead. as they were bound
to do by their bond. in apparent disre-
gard Of the authority OF the law, they
are now fugitives. They are both, l
learn, men Of fine Intelligence. They, as
well as do their counsel here and else
where, fully understand their duty to be
present. The Government officers have
been at great labor and the Government
itself at great eapense in preparing FOR
their trial.
Indeed, the conduct OF these men, ur-
explained with regards to their non-ap-
pearance. is an outrage upon public JUS
tice. From the inception Of their efforts
to delay or defeat the trial upon indict-
,ment for the serious charges preferred
against them. this court has done all IN

1NERA nlGNlrATEN.

No artstocracy could exist without ex-
clusiveness, yet every aristocracy has de-
cayed of ultra exclusiveness. The ten
tocracy of one kind or another, just as
nature compels every plant to flower. a
people without vigorous upper class is
a people without vital force. But the
finer supersructure must rest upon
broad foundation Of common earth. An
aristocracy that is not constantly renew
ed by infusions from the soil whence e
sprang is bound, like the flower, to w1ther
and perish-the victim of the vegetatng
influences of luxury and intreeding. we
may apply this to the ancient peoples and
to the moribund nations of to-day; the
senility of the ruling classes Of one, their
determination in another. their unhuman
exclusiveness in another-take Athens ana
Rome. France and Spain. The upper
classes Of England have n aintained their
visor by constantly recruiting thelr
virility from among thu people. Their
aristocracy Of to-day is. much of 1t, their
commonalty of a couple of centuries ago.
Their most exclusive families. that have
refused to marry with eny family not

The New York Journal OF Commerce re-
fers editorially to the article in the
North American Review by former Con
gresham ]. II. Walker; which we re-
viewed in yesterdays paper. The Journal
of Commerce says that among persons OF
any standing in the financial world, as
men of business or as students Of econ
omics, there is practically no difference of
opinion as to the serious defects of the
present system, but that there IS not
quite the same unanimity regarding the
remedies, but on only one important point
is there much difference of opinion.

The Suffrage Question.

Several days ago we printed Colonel
C'Ferralfs brief suffrage plan and asked
IL any better plan had been devised by
the Constitutional Convention. The
portsmouth Star reproduces the OFFER
rail- plan and adds:
No, it has not, and the reason therefor
is to be. found in the simplicity and fair
ness of the O'Ferrall plan. That plan
would actually restrict and purify the
suffrage. Precisely that is what a con-
vention7 concerned for. nine months with
81 andfather5 clauses, understanding claus
cs. Thom's plan, Daniels plan, or uni
yersal scheme atd conspiracy of how
not to do it, does not want. The conven-
ton has about concluded to be true to
the pledges" of the Norfolk Convention
ard false to the people, BY the same
token, no suffrage plan based upon right
eous principles and intended to actually
purify the electorate, can have a ghost
of a chance in the Constitutional Con-
ycntion. The O'Ferrall plan is badly
stained with justice and common sense.

been ascetrtained by the secretary of the
Interior that such lands. or portions of
tracts, are not needed for reservoir pur-
poses, and cannot probably be used In
the future for such purposes"
In 1872 there were II number OF reser-
Voir sites selected In Montana by the

tary OF the interior withdrew the lands

NATIONAL LEAGUE CONTRACTS
HELD TO BE GOOD.
LAJ0IE CASE IS REVERSED
If This Decision Is Held to Be Good
Law It Will Affect All Players
Subject to the Reserve
Clause.
(By Associated Press.)

Philadelphia, April 21.-The supreme
court today reversed the decision of the
Court of Common Pleas No. in the case
of Napoleon Lajoie VS.. the Philadelphia
National Baseball league.
This decision upholds the validity of
the reserve clause in the National league
contracts.
Lajoie. who formerly played second
base for the National league club in this
city, signed with the Philadelphia Amer
lean league club for the seasons of 1901
and 1902.
The Philadelphia Baseball club.
through John I. Rogers entered suit to
restrain Lajoie from playing with the
American league.
The lower court held that the reserve
clause was illegal, and Colonel Rogers
carried the case to the supreme court,
where the decision was reversed
If this decision stands, it will affect
all players who were subject to the re-
serve clause and who are now playing
with the American league.
