Tho example of the Appellate Division in go

nropriety of moving the courthouse to Bronx

bill affecting street railroads about which
a good deal has been said of late was laid aside
in the State Senate yesterday. The circumstance
leading TO its at least temporary retirement was
that nobody knew or cared to tell what the
effect Of it would be. It was introduced by SenaE
tor GoodseII, who says. however, that 1t orig
inally applied only to Orange County, and that
1T was made general ia character owing to the
Governors objections to special bills. But the
Governors lack of interest in it is shown by the
fact that he suggested at the outset the pro-
priety Of sending 1t to the Attorney General amp
has never had anything to do with 1t since them
Perhaps its supposed mischieVous character Is
due to accident rather than contriTance, but
even so it is safe to say that its capabilities are
by this time well known to those whom they
might profit and would not be wasted II the
bill should go through. It is exceedingly desir-
able. therefore, that a fair chance to discover
what the mask eonceals should be afforded.
4 bill which does not clearly reveal Its mean
ing is an object of just suspicion, and public
safety requires that it should be held guilty
until its innocence has been proved. This is
particularly true of bills relating to street rail-
road companies, which are constantly seeking
to get for nothing what very likely they ought
not to have at all, and should certainly not be
permitted to obtain except on the payment OF
q fair price. Nothing, for example. pleases
them more than to seize upon fine highway,
by craft or violence install a trolley line and
half ruin the countryside through which 1t runs.
We don't know that the suspected bill at Al
bany would facilitate that sort Of thing, but
there would be no occasion for surprise If 1t
should prove to be exactly adapted to such a
purpose. So far as we are aware, Mr.. Goodsell
is at fault only to the extent of his seeming
ignorance Of the scope of the measure which
bears his name, but If he is anxious to serve
the legitimate interests of his constituents he
will do well to make a careful study Of its pro-
visions and frankly show the legislature what
they signify.

BEFORE THE SENATE.

The Senate Is assembled in special session.
and ,ts work is before il Never was situation
more siunpIe or duty more plain. During the
LAST session of the LvIIth Congress the Sena1e
left uudone certain things which 1T ought 10
have done. Some of these were fatally undone'
since thew required to be done in conJunction
with the House Of Representatives., and there-
fore to be done by the Senate before the HOUSE
was constitutionally dissolved. Some OF them'
however. needed the action OF the Senate aIohe'
and they can now be taken up and performeu'
II is with these latter that the Senate Is NO"
expected to busy itself. There is no use IN us
giving a moments time to measures which re-
oufred or require the concurrent action OF 1ne
House. for the House is not now in session lis
business is not to Iegislate in the common sense
of the term but to ratify.
The President has made this perfectly plain
He called the Senate together in this extraor-
dinary session He cannot prescribe the topics
vbirb n shall or shall not consider. But he
can make clear to it and he has done so. the
tonirs which he had in mind when he sum-
moned it, and which be regards as Of primary
Importance for it to deal with. This he did In
his brief message of yesterday. Generally
speakinF. he wants the Senate TO act upon the
various treaties which it failed either to ratlfy
or to reject during the late session. Especially
he wants it to ratify the Colombian CanaI
treaty and the Cuban reciprocity treaty. He
doubtless also expects the Senate to act upon
the various nominations to Office which he mas
sent and may yet send to it
These expectations and desires of the Presl-
dent are unquestionably shared, and that most
earnestly. by the great mass of the American
nation. There is no exaggeration in speaking
of 1.-The great and far reaching Importance" OF
the two treaties named TO the welfare OF the
United States and the urgent need for their
adoption" We may add that 1T is Impossible
to conceive any valid reason why the Senate
should not now act upon them. There are no
other bills in the way. There are no other
topics to engage its attention. It has its work
before it. All it now has to do is to do that
work. Failure to do so and to do SO with rea-
sonabie promptness would be an Impeachment
Of either its capacity for business or its loyalty
to duty.

NO CPyoEy COURTHOUSE.

No doubt Sew-York needs q new courthouse.
The old Tweed structure i entirely inadequate,
and to overhaul it properly and enlarge 1t to
accommodate the present business Of the Su-
preme Court would cost not far from half as
much as would be required for a new building
suited to the county's needs. 1t is impossible,
however, to believe that the bar Will take seri-
ously Mr.. Austen G. Fox's plan for new court
house IN the neighboFhoed Of Thifty-fcuEth-st.
Such 3 courthouse might be convenient for
the sniy American bsrrister." but IL would
hardly answer the purposes OF lawyers who
de something besides argue cases after others
have performed the active outside work. Law
yers in general must be situated near their
clients even more than near the courts. The
district Of law offices to-day extends from Ex-
change Place to Chambers-st.. and its centre OF
gravity is at waiI-st rather than at the court
house Il stretches cut as far as Chambers-st
mainly because Of the courthouse and city Of

where men ccngregate who wish to consult
lawyers.
The distance from this centre to the present
courthouse is not so great but that lawyers at
the lever end Of the district can reach the
courts conveniently. and those at the upper end
can keep in close touch with downtown clients.
Vita the courthouse at Thirty-fourth-st. this
connection would be broken 1t has been sug-
gested that such q move would result In an up
teWr exodus of lawyers. But such an exodus
would only make their situation worse for the
lawyers than II they had to suffer from the in

RIEGER.

The death of Francis Ladislas Rieger re-
moves from the much mixed public life Of the
Austro- Hungarian Empire one Of its most ven
erahle, most distinguished and, for many years,
most influential figures. 1t also deprives the
ancient kingdom of Bohemia OF its most emil
nent subject and the slav race In Austria of its
greatest leader. The Czech agitation at Prague
and at Vienna has in late years gone far beyond
the limits which he would have fixed upon 1t,
and, indeed, its more advanced propagandists
some time ago repudiated him with much vio-
Ience. Nevertheless, it was he more than any,
IL lot all, others who conceived and organized
the great movement for restored Bohemian ma
tiopality, and who, both as statesman and man
of letters, reha bitated the Czeehe in the esteem
of the world.
Dr. RiegeF was eminent In Bohemia as a law
yer and man Of letters before he entered public
life. The latter was not effected until ls4S,
when he was thirty years Of age. At that TINE
he was simultaneously elected TO the Austrian
Parliament by no fewer than seven constitu'
encEes. He immediately wen attention as the
leader of the Czechs, as one Of the finest orators
in the Reiehsratb, and as an effective supporter
Of Austria against Hungary. The revolution
sent him back TO private life few months
later, and then for dozen years he was busy
with literary work, especially with bis great

remarkable campaign Tor the restoration Of the
