Ir SEEMS that the Philippine service
has not proven attractive to Americans.
Secretary Ferguson, 10 his annual re-
port to Governor General lde, says that
the executive bureau is having trouble
getting Americans who will remain 10
the service, aud that the grade of men
coming from the United States is below
the standard of the clerical force sent
to the islands several years ago. Although
the executive bureau has been establish.
ed over tour years, only FIVE Americans
are included in the office force Of l37 per.
sons. Americans were never inteuded
for the Philippines, nor the Philippines
for Americans.

Fifty-ninth Congress.
Washington, June Is
SENATE

Ia the Senate today, Mr. McCumber
urged action by The COMMITTEES on agrl-
culture on his resolution directing an in
yestigstion into grain inspection, charges,
ETC., 10 the northwest. He presented a
letter from Superior, Wisconsin, endOrs.
ing his course,
Senator Tillmsn, in the Senate this
afternoon, sharply criticised what he
declared to be Objectionable practices of
Chicago national banks. He poured
forth the yisls OF his indignation upon
John r. Walsh, of that city, and the
recent failure of his bank. He prefsced
his remarks by calling attention to the
fact that While the Senate had passed
his bill making il misdemeanor for
national banks to con;ribute to campaign
expenses there WAS but slighthope that the
measure would be given attention by the
House OF Representatives. He thought
SHINING national banks would be dipped
in an Immunity bath, as to past Of
lenses. Taking up the Walsh failure.
he adverted to the declaration made by
Mr.. Hopkins that every cent of the
liability had been paid. He said that
he suppo0ed that. in accordance with
long established customs, the Comp
troIler of the Currency would report
that there had been nothing blameable,
nothing criminal, everything iusIihable
and emiuently proper, aud that he
would report that the action of the
Chicago clearing house was "a great
act OF 6nsnciering."
He had read statement to the effect
that the Walsh bank had been hopeless
ly insolyent, that the members OF the
clearing house knew il. aud that they
assumed the liabilities.
Thus, the transactions OF Walsh
were in some matters criminal aud 10
others mere transgressions" he declared.
"And the Comptroller knew OF these
violations and did nothing" he ex-
claimed.
Mr.. Aldrich, in defending the admin
istration of the Comptroller Of the Our
rency, declared that bank inspectors had
reported the facts in the case that the
Comptroller had turned them over to
the Department. of Justice, and that tho
case was now in court.
"But he did not stop Walsh from
making more loans to himself, " retorted
Mr.. Tilimau.
The incident was concluded by Mr..
Tillmaa remarking that 1--WE ought to
have some regard for laws, even among
national bahks."
The Lake Erie aud Ohio ship canal
bill was then taken up.

Right of Appeal i'm
Criminal Cases

Another bill which has just past one
house of the Congress and which il is
urgently necessary should be enacted
into law is that comforting upon the
Government the right of appeal in
criminal cases on questions of law.
This right exists in many of the States;
it exists in the District of Columbia
by act of the Congress. 1t is, OF course,
not proposed that in any case YER
dict for the defendant on the merits
should be set aside Recently in one
district where the Government had in
dicted certain persons for conspiracy
sustained the defendants demurrer,
while in another jurisdiction an indict-
ment for conspiracy to obtain rebates
has been sustained by the court, con-
victions obtained under it and two de-
PENDANTS sentenced to imprisonment.
The two cases referred to may not be
in real conflict with each other. but 1T
is unfortunate that there should even
be an apparent conflict. At present
there is no way by which the Govern
ment can cause such a conflict. when it
occurs, to be solved by an appeal to a
higher court. and the wheels of justice
are blocked without any real decision
OF the question. 1 can not too strongly
urge the passage of the bill in ques-
ton. A failure to pass it will result
in seriously hampering the Government
in it's effort to obtain justice. especially
against wealthy individuals or cor
porations who do wrong, and may also
prevent the Government from obtain
ing justice for wageworkers who are
not themselves able effectively TO CON
test a case where the Judgment OF an
inferior court has been against them

Government Hampered

I have specifically in view a recent
decision by district Judge leaving
railway employees without remedy for
violations of a certain so-called labor
statute. It seems an absurdity to per-
nit single district judge. against what
may be the Judgment OF the immense
majority OF his colleag on the
bench to declare a law solemnly enact
ed by thesCongress to be ''unconstitu-
tional," and then to deny TO the Gov
eminent the right to have the Supreme
Court definitely decide the question
It Is we'll to recollect that the real
efficiency Of the law often depends not
upon the passage. of acts as to which
there is great public. excitement. but
upon the passage OF acts of this nature
as to which there is not much public
excitement. because there is little pub
lie understanding of their Importance
while the interested parties are keenly
alive to the desirability of defeating
them. The Importance OF enacting into
law the particular bill in question is
further increased by. the fact that the
Government has now definitely begun
a policy of resorting to the criminal
law in those trust and interstate com
merce cases where such a course offers
a reasonable chance of success. At
first, as was proper, every effort was
made to enforce these laws by civil
proceedings; but it has become increas-
ingly evident that the action OF the
Government in finally deciding, in GER
tain cases. to undertake criminal pro-
ceedings was justifiable; and tho
there have been some conspicuous fail
ures in these cases. we have had many
successes, which have undoubtedly had
deterrent effect upon evil-doers.
