IL 10 we'll known that improvements in the
processes and machinery for the manufac-

10 recent years the quantity OF sugar
extracted from a ton Of b~ets and also
decreased the labor and other costs Of

Judge Jones.

One Of the bravest and sblest of
Federal Judges in the South, the Hon
THOMAS GooDE JONES of Alabama, has
granted in the case of the Louisville snh
Nashville an injunction restraining the
state authorities from enforcing the
new State rate laws until their constitu-
tionality shall have been pronounced
upon blythe Supreme Court Of the United
States, the constitutional tribunal for the
decision 81 that question.
Thus this irrepressible question of
jurisdiction, which was postponed in
North Carolina by the arrangement be-
tween the railroads and the State con-
corning the injunction granted by Judge
PRITCHARD. and again postponed in Ala
bama by the arrangement between the
Southern Railway and the State in the
matter Of the similar injunction granted
by Judge JONES himself, is raised again
squarely.
IL was Judge JONES who said, when
he reluctantly modified his previous in
junction granted at the application of
the Southern Railway: The greatest
tiCdbou thtt q tOutJ VI tut I ulttu OldttN
could commit against the liberties OF the
people Of Alabama, as we'll as the citizens
Of our common country, would be TO
quail from the issue and abdicate it's
plain sworn duty in the administration
Of the law"
The quality Of the man and OF his
patriotism are indicated in the remark
here quoted. The whole country should
rejoice that the Federal Judge who
30 speaks, and who nov occupies a posi-
ton which local sentiment might make
difficult TO a less resolute person, is a
~Southerner Of Southerners, an ex-Con-
federate soldier, an Ex-Governor Of a
Southern State, q jnrist with long ex-
perience on the bench Of the highest OF
State courts, and one OF the best law
yers in his section.
To no better hands could be intrusted
now n Of the most precious of State
~rights-the right Of any sutton, threatened
with State processes alleged to be con-
fiscatory, to the protection of the Federal
courts established as a safeguard against
a lawless use Of local power.

Burial At Sea.

On payment Of $500 for the expenses
Of -embalming and ~cofining." Captain
LETTEN-PETERssEN OF the North German
Lloyd steamship Princess Irene cOn
sented the other day to bring to port in
stead Of burying at sea the remains of "a
passenger who had died on the voyage
from the Mediterranean to this city.
1t may be surmised that this conces-
sion was not altogether unconnected
with the recent action Of persons con
cerned in a similar unhappy event who
entered a vigorous protest against the
enforcement Of the existing custom. In
any case, Captain MISUNDERSTANDING
attitude is to be commended, and it ia
satisfactory to note that a money ques-
ton was the only apparent difficulty in
the way of keeping the body.
The incident surely illustrates. how
ever, the eccentricity OF the present
situation in this matter, which is i'm
portant not only from sentimental con-
siderations but as involving the legal
security for life of so many thousands
Of people. Astep which is hedged about
with such careful restrictions on land is
left at sea to the discretion of an indi-
vidual. II is well that Captain LETTEN-
PETERSEN consented to bring the re-
mains to port; it would have been better
if he had been obliged to do so. And
though we may trust that the precedent
which he has created will be followed
in the future, and that no other excuse
will be recognized for refusing to bring
a body to port than the failure Of friends
or strangers to pay the cost of embalm-
ing, yet after all what an anomalous
excuse this il!
II the Princess Irene had been travel
ling the other way, bound for Genoa
instead Of for New York, her captain
would have been confronted by a differ
ent situation, and it would be interesting
to know how he would have acted in that
case. The attempt to land the remains
OF an American citizen, dead on the pas
sage, in a foreign port, or even to bring
them into such q port, would be a matter
for discussion with the local sanitary
authorities. They would certainly DO
empowered to object.
1t Is evident for this and other reasons
that any attempt 10 amend the law or
rather to create q law regulating this
question must proceed by international
agreement.
