futures or for homicide, or for any
other crime or misdemeanor.
From yesterdays Charlotte News We
take the following account of Judge
Meals charge to the grand jury:
In his charge TO the grand jury this
morning Judge Walter II. Neal declar-
ed war on the bucket-shOps. He charg-
Ell the jury that it was a crime under
oir law TO buy or sell for future deliv-
cry On margins. corn, cotton, wheat or
other food or agricultural products;
that n law. made it illegal to operate
so-calIed bucket-shops, and those who
were in charge of such shops, as we'll as
those who buy or sell therein, were gull
~ under the law. He informed the
grand jury that such establishments
were being operated in Charlotte and
that a number of people were dealing.
according TO the information thu had
cOne to him.
Judge Neal called upon the jury to
make a searching investigation and if
the jury found such establishments
operating here it was the duty of the
grand jury TO have such parties
brought before the court; that the
above instructions were in the name
of a test for the present jury system
in that it would show whether people
with means and influence were just as
amenable to the law as poor people,
without any influence"

JUDGE NEAL AND THE BCCkET
SHOPS.

Judge Walter H. Neal is presiding at
fine term OF court in session in Char
Iotte this week. The last time he held
court in Mecklenburg county he was
pretty severely criticised for the SEN
tence imposed upon Bishop for the kill
ing of Wilson.
Judge Neal seems to have returned to
that county with a new broom ana Is
apparently determined to do some clean
sweeping. He is going TO make some
body's fur fly, and it is the people with
means and influence" who violate the
law that he has blood in his eye for.
He is going to make a test Of the jury
system, TO show whether hat class OF
peopIe are as amenable TO the law as
moor people without influence. He is
after the bucket-shOp men and the men
whc buy and sell futures in cotton,
Srain etc. His charge TO the grand
jury on this subject was pretty positive
and emphatic. Those Charlotteites who
have been dealing in futures had bet
ter Iook out. The judge seems deteTmln-
ed that whe he closes this term OF
Mecklenburg court no one will charge
him with too great leniency.
We do not think any one class Of law
breakers should be singled out more
thar another in enforcing the general
criminal law of the state. but We do
hope that Judge Neal will succeed in
demonstrating the fact that people
with means and influence are just as
amenable to the law as poor people
without any influence" whether they

was proposition presented by Cardi-
nal Orcglia TO send a note to the diplo-
matte body accredited to the holy see
for the purpose of representing to the
powers the condition of the papacv
since the loss Of its temporal power
and the transfer of the capital OF the
Italian government to Rome. From
what leaks out, II appears that the
proposition provoked considerable dis
cussion, and that Cardinals Steinhu-
Der, Mathieu and Wives Tuto favored
the dispatch of a most energetic note
concerning the question of reclaiming
the papal rights. Cardinals Agliardi
and Stefano Vannutelll, on the con-
trary, advocated a milder wording of
the document, which. they contended,
should maintain the historical preten-
sions Of the holy see. but in temperate
language. The majority Of the congre-
cation decided to pursue a middle
course, and entrusted Secretary Merry
del Val with the duty of drawing up
the document for submission to an
other meeting Of the congregation. The
note, when approved. will be presented
TO the diplomatic body, signed by Car
dinals Oreglia, Macchi and Netto, deans
of the three orders into which the sa-
cred college is divided.

trusted with the arrangements for the
