To Test the Constitution.

On behalf of the Negro Indus
trial Association of Virginia, Mr..
John S. Wise, of New York, for
merly of Virginia, on Monday in
the United States Court asked
Judge Waddill for a writ of re-
straining the State Board of Can
vassers from issuing certificates to
the ten candidates for Congress
who were elected November 4th.
The motion is said to be the first
step toward testing the validity Of
the new Constitution of Virginia,
under which large number of ne
groes were DISTINGUISHED. The
petitioners claim that the new Con-
stitution is invalid, and that of
1889 is yet in force.
The petitioners further allege
that by Legislative actit was Or
dered that the new Constitution
be submitted to the people for con-
sideration when it was proclaimed
by the Convention.
The petitioners allege that there
is no republican form of govern
ment in Virginia, and they ask re-
lief in the United States Court.
Mr.. Wise argued the matter at
length, and Judge Waddill entered
on order directing that rules be is
sued summoning the members of
of the State Canvassing Board to
appear in Richmond on Thursday

StauDtOn Argus.
The Baltimore Suns Richmond
correspondent had the following in
Wednesdays paper:
One of the most interesting
features of the reapportionment
talk is the fact that Mr.. Harry st,
George Tucker, whom it was said
the old bill sought to throw into
the Sixth district, has removed his
residence to Staunton, which is in
the heart Of the Tenth. 1t is said
by the friends Of Mr.. Tucker that
he is almost certain to enter the
race against Mr.. Flood in 1904.
Mr.. Tucker, when his attention
was called to the notice by the
Argus, answered that he was like
the late Judge John Paul, who,
when asked in a public meeting by
the late Col. Skinner whether he
were a candidate for Congress, re-
piled; "When the people want me
to go to Congress they will call
me-" We may add that the peorl lie
did call on Mr.. Paul and he served
them in Congress.

WAS -MOLINEUX GUILTY ?

The acquittal of Roland b. Mol
ineux in New York on Tuesday
evening of last week, of the murder
of Mrs. Adams, shows the uncer.
tainty of jury trials and the incon.
sistency of the human mind. Four
years ago jury convicted him,
and the general opinion was that
he was guilty man. On Tuesday
the jury was ready to give it's YER
dict of acquittal in ten minutes,
and evidently had not the slightest
trouble in deciding that the pros
ecution had made out no case,
Mrs. Adams died on December
%, 1898, and Molineux was arrest
ed February q, 1859, and has been
in prison over three years and eight
months. The State has spent more
than $4,000 in prosecuting
him, and his father has spent a
fortune of 500, 600 in his defence.
-Four years of the mans life have
been spent in prison, and many of
those who formerly believed in his
guilt are now the most outspoken
in their conviction of his innocence.
The management of the case for
the defence was a great triumph
of professional skill.
1t may have been the Scotch
verdict-guilty, but not proven
but it was received by the populace
with wild acclaim of joy. If this
man was guilty, it could only be
shown by circumstances and ex-
perts on handwriting that he had
any connection with it. That is
too fimsy. 1t is better that he
should 60 free than to the electric
chair on such unreliable proof,
which always admits of doubt. |
Cluverius was hung in Richmond
several years ago on such testimo-
ny, and is now thought to have
been gross miscarriage of justice.

WHAT THE LEGISLATURE
Is DOING.

The Legislature convened in ex
traOrdlnary session in Richmond
last Wednesday. 1t has adopted 6
mode of procedure, with less delay,
for bringing about a revision OF
the statute laws of the State to
conform to the new Constitution,
than was anticipated. This was
effected by the adoption of sub
stitute offered in the House for the
Senate resolution providing for a
steering committee. The PROPOSE
ton provides for the assignment of
the subjects to their appropriate
committees, specifying them, by
the presiding officers of the two
branches, without the Intervention
of the Steering" committee.
An interesting session was held
Friday. A bill was introduced
which Is sure to provoke long and
interesting discussion. Mr.. West,
member of the House from Louisa,
presented it. 1t provides for the
licensing of barrooms, an issue that
is very much alive now. 1t re-
quires that all bars shall be open
and without screens. They are to
be closed after 10 O'Clock at night,
and must pay a State license of
not less than $500, and not less
than that amount nor more than
5000 to the city or county. Three.
fourths of the property holders in
the neighborhood may prevent any
one from obtaining license to sell
liquor. The bill will meet with
the bitterest opposition from the
liquor trade.
Senator Hartman has introduced |
a bill to make it unlawful for
any corporation or other en-
pioyer to interfere in the for
nation of labor unions. The en-
ployer preventing any employe
from joining such union or dis
charging him for being member,
is subject to fine of not over 500
and Imprisonment for term of not
longer than six months, or both in
the discretion of the jury. This
bill will be fought by the corpora
tions, and will likely give the party
leaders some trouble as to the man
ner in which they shall line up on
it.

Apostle Reed SmOot of the Nor
mon church, will be elected United
States Senator by the Legislature
Of that State. 1t will be recalled
that few years ago Mr.. Roberts,
a Mormon, was elected to the House
Of Representatives, but that body
unseated him. There is far more
reason for excluding Mr.. Smoot
from the rational Congress. He
is one of the twelve apostles and as
such helps to form the controlling
power of the Mormon church, and
stands for all the doctrines of that
church, polygamy among others.
Should he be elected, the Christian
influence and public sentiment of
the whole country would make it
impossible for him to take his
seat.

PPOSEHARLEM BRIDGECARS
+ p. uuLE AGAINST ALLOWING troll
LEYS ON THE WASHINGTON AND
CENTRAL STRUCTURES.

John B. Uhle president of the Highway Alliance.
in a talk yesterday with Tribune reporter spoke
OF the objections to allowing trolley cars TO run
Central and Washington bridges He said:
There has been effort to get trolley over
the Central Bridge for number of years. and 1t
has just been renewed by the New-York City Inter
borough Railway Company. This last effort is part
OF application for pretty nearly all the available
streets in The Bronx and IT includes also an ap-
plication for the Central and Washington bridges
The application for these different streets for the
of troeys is well timed. and will tend to build
UP The Bronx. even in advance Of the construction
of the railroads. but ii is not necessary to Ge-
stroy the usefulness of Central and Washington
bridges.
"rhe objection to the use Of the Central and
Washington bridges is that they are the only con-
venient way for the driving public to pass from
the island into The Bronx. Taking the Central
Bridge for a trolley would seriously interfere with
the use OF ths cenoourse which is TO extend
from Cedar Park to the Mosholu Parkway
This concourse will be the only convenient way
for the driving public to return from Van Cort-
Iandt Park when the Riverside Drive is finished
The drive now goes further than Inwood, but
1t is only question Of time when it will be ex-
tended a mile further to join the Spuyten Duyvtl

II the second mans wire is already in service at
the time of the call connection will be made and
the first will ascertain that fact from the
failure of his bell to ring. When both recefV-
hung up after talk both wires are
promptly cleared.
The apparatus at the central station is too com
plicated for any one but electrician to under
stand fully. But two comparisons may be
made. 1t is claimed for the Faller apparatus that
1t is much more simple and compact than that in
in Fall River Then, compared with the
manual system. 1t has the merit of requiring fewer
inside wires and contacts" A machine serving one
hundred subscribers is much longer than a section
of the switchboard doing the same duty in the ex-
changes of this city but several could be arranged
one above another. Inasmuch as luncheon and read
ing would not be required, appreciabe
economy would probably be effected in the case of
rent The men who taking hold of the Faller
system say that 1t is suited to the needs of the
largest cities They regard it practicable to accom-
modate hundred thousand subscribers by
sin gle group Of exchanges.
