Hunkers and the Tariff.

The name of the Hon. WILLIAM PETERS
HEPBURN Of Clarinda, L., shines with all
the splendor Of the rate regulation bill.
This recent glory may delude the thought-
loss or forgetful into supposing that Mr..
HEPBURN ia a radical and an innovator.
WIZ, lie Ii black with old ivy, Moss
and creepers cover him. lie has all the
ancient patter OF the Tired stand
patter. Save that modern word stand
patter,' his speech in the House the
other day might have been and has been
made on q million stumps in the last
generation:
All. gentlemen. there are those who attempt
to dcride us and bclittle US by applying as oppro
brlous the term standpatter" and some have
said that the only 'standpatter' is that one that
Is dead. Not so. We mean by that, having tried
the various policies, to hold fast to that one that
We know Is good the protective system, ZAP.
plauscl That Ia what VI mean, We have shown
thai, holding tas, TO our principles, we have been
hight, making that progress that the nation hAs
needed. We have been able 10 guide |, on lie won

I;YorytalEs great or good that has heeh sugG esied
70 the m'n living on this continent dur Ing the last
toriy I'VE years has come from tho Republican
party. Loud appiaufe on the Republican ride,
prog rrrCivel oh. yes: we arc. We could pros rcss
from tho old teachings OF tho old masters TO that
height OF patriotism and love OF liberty that de
clarcd slaves should not exist. We could prog rcss
from our lovc Of peace 10 entering into tho crest
est war that the nations have known In order 10
preserve the Union, We could make sacrifices OF
the gravcst character In order to restore the States.
We could build up tho broken fortunes OF the re-
public by restoring Its credit. We could progress
! from the perjury OF the old days TO the splendid
conditions OF currency and OF credit OF 10 -dsy."
And so on, to the good old tune, The
infallibillty, the almost sacred character,
| the superhuman virtues Of the Repub-
lican party; these themes have been
harped on mercilessly. 1t is ar excel
lent party. 1t has done much. But
what do the young voters, with their
own aspirations, ideals and enthusiasm.
care about those old stories? As these
merciless supplanters grow up they
want a party that does, not n that
lives upon its past performances. The
Republican party is not compelled to
rely, and cannot afford TO rely, upon
those tedious and empty praises Of its
past. 1t must adapt itself to new condi-
tions. As Mr., HEPBURN paints it it
cannot do so. All" he exclaims, "the
Republican party is a progressive party.

The Guilt Of the shipper.

After announcing Commissioner GAR
FiELD's discovery that the Standard Oil
Company has benefited to the amount of
at least three-quarters of a million a
year by secret rates at the expense OF
the railroads, besides n much larger
profit at the expense Of the public, Pres
ident ROOSEVELT went on to say;
The Department, of Justice vii, take up the
question of instituting proceedings IN at iens. GER
tain Of the cases"
Among the multitudinous expressions
OF approval OF the Presidents message
which fill the newspapers Wa observe
in some cases the assumption thet tho
possibility of prosecution and punish
ment concerns the railroads only, and
not the beneficiary of the secret rates
illegally granted by them, perhaps under
practical intimidation,
This is a great mistake. The Inter-
state Commerce law also provides for
the punishment of the shipper who in
duces determinations:
IL any such person Ishlpperl or any orncsr or
agent OF any such corporation or company. shall,
by payment Of money or other thing OF value,
solicitation. or otherwise, induce any common
carrier subject TO the provisions OF this act, or any
Of IA ofhcers or agents. TO discriminate ~unJustly
IN his, Ito or their favor as against any other con
slenor or consignee IN the transportation Of prop
,sr,y. or shall aid or abet any common carrier in
any such unjust discrimination, such person. OF
such ofhcer or agent of such corporation or com
pany, shall be deemed guilty Of a eanor,
and shall. upon conviction thereof In any court OF
the United States OF competent Jurisdiction within
the district in which such offence was committed,
be subject to a nne OF not exceeding $500, OF I'M
prisonment In the peni,en,iary for a term Of not
exceeding two years, or both, in the discretion OF
the court, for each offence"
There is guilt Of shipper as well as
guilt of carrier. The law provides for
both in equal measur Of punishment,
and the foregoing provision has been in

the moral courage to say that earthquakes

Commodore Elbridge T, Gerry is going

Fourteen New supreme Court Jus
tees,

tIces.
The constitutional amendment adopted
by the people in November last calls for
the election in November this year Of
fourteen additional Justices OF the Su-
preme Court for the First and Second
Judicial districts. In the First district,
which Is New York county, eight new
Justices are to be elected, and in the
Second district, which comprises Kings,
Queens, Richmond and Suffolk counties,
six additional Justices are to be elected.
That part Of the old Second Judicial
district which includes Westchester,
Putnam, Duchess, Orange and Rock
land counties has been made by legis-
lative act the Ninth Judicial district Of
the State,
In addition to the eight new Justices
to be elected in New York county sue
cessors are to be named for the seats
now held by EDWARD s. CLINCH, APP
pointed by Governor HIGGINS il place
Of GEORGE c. BARRETT. resigned, and by
Justice LEONARD A. GIEGERIcH, whose
first term Of fourteen years expires
December 81.
The term Of no one of the present JUS
tees Of the new Second district expires
this year, and so in beth New York
county and in the new Second district
there are to be all told fourteen new SUI
preme Court Justices to be first nomi-
mated and then elected.
The grave responsibility attending the
selection of the fourteen candidates will
doubtless be duly appreciated by those
In charge Of the Judiciary conventions
when called together in the fall.
Meantime, politically speaking, inn
portant changes may occur in New
York county. The nominations Of
the ten Justices in New York county
including the successors to Justice
GIRGERICH and Justice CLINCH, and the
six new Justices for the new Second
district, will require deliberation not alto
gether bounded by the desire for mere
partisan advantage.

TheAbuse OF "John Doe" Proceedings.


The law of this State permits tho plain
til In a civil suit who Ia ignorant Of the
name of a defendant to designate tho
defendant in the summons and in any
subsequent papers in the case by Il f1c-
titious name or by as much of his name
"a may be known and a description iden-
tifying the person who is intended. In
the case of n criminal prosecution before
a Magistrate the law provides that the
warrant must specify the name Of the
Magistrate the defendant may be desig-
mated in the warrant by any name. Where
aprosecution for crime Is directed against
n person of whose name the prosecutor
is ignorant it has been customary to
designate the defendant as John Doe, "
and proceedings of this character have
become quite generally known as John
Doe proceedings. This practice is en-
tirely justifiable in a proceeding before
a committing Magistrate where the
identity of the defendant is known but
his name is not. OF late years, however,
a custom has grown up Of filing a COM
plant, technically denominated an in
formation, before a Magistrate against
a defendant designated as John Doe"
whom really no particular person is in
contemplation, and the proceeding thus
instituted is utilized by the complainant
