I-NEOTAL REPRESENTATIONS.

d
The death Of Associate Justice
Brewer is likely to cause a readjust-
ment of representation in the Supreme
Court, since the policy of naming the
successor of justice from the circuit
from which the predecessor was chosen
seems now 10 have gone decidedly out
Of favor.
Justice Brewer was appointed from
the Sth Circuit, which is now left
without a representative. The eight JUS
tees now Oh the bench are credited %
only five of the nine existing federal
circuits. The 1st Circuit-New England,
except Vermont and Connecticut-has
two; the 9TH Circuit-Georgia Flor
ida, Alabama, Mississippi. Louisiana
and TeXas-one; the 9th Cireuit-NIichi-
gan. Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee
three; the 1th-Illin0is, Indiana and
Wiseonsin-one. and the 9th-the Pa
citic Coast States. Idaho, Nevada, Mon
tana, Arizona and Hawaii-0ne. The
inequality of this distribution is appar-
ent New York. Vermont and Connect
cut-the ID Circuit-haye been without
Justice since Rufus w Peckham's
death. in October, 1909 Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and DelaWare-the Sd Cir
cuit-have had no representative on the
Supreme bench since the retirement OF
George Shiras, jr., in 1908. Maryland,
West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina
and South Carolina-the 9th Circuit
have had no justice since Chief Justice
fancy died. in 1864. On the other hand,
the 9th Circuit has furnished no fewer
than seven justices in the last thirty
five years, and it has had at least two
sitting continually throughout that
period.
TO keep the balance even among
the circuits may sometimes be difficult.
But there ought TO be satisfactory ma
terial i'll each circuit, and. other things
being equal ii is advisable to have the
circuits represented by justices ap-
pointed from them and familiar with
their courts and their life. The I'd
Circuit feels that it has q just claim
To more than Intermittent representation
in the nations highest court IT would
be glad 10 see the present policy of con-
centration abandoned and one of deal
ing more equally among the circuits
adopted i'll its place.

4 WHOLESOME REBUKE.

Is is impossible 10 recall any more
wholesome and tonic incident than the
city administrations successful fight
against the appointment OF Haffen as
condemna ton commissioner. II is safe
to say that hereafter the courts in this
city will be more careful whom they
name for this important work, for they
now know that there viii be no longer
divided responsibility for bad appoint
ments in the public mind, and that the
naming OF any one SO unfit Is Haffen
viii be sure TO draw forth a sharp pro
test from the Mayor and perhaps an
appeal TO the Legislature
Mayor Gaynors threat 70 seek the
Legislature was one of those bold strokes
which could only be expected from Il
man who had himself been long on the
bench. But the situation certainly called
for something more than an ordinary pro-
test The appointment of Haffen illus
trates the difficulty of having it out"
as the Mayor says. in any other way
than by threatening an appeal TO the
authority which under the constitution
supervises the actions of the courts.
The public conscience is aroused over
the waste and graft in condemnation
proceedings. The press and public speak
ers have inyeighed against them at
length. Some judges from the bench have
denounced them. And the present munic-
iIal administration is pledged SO far as
lies in its power TO put an end TO them.
And yet, despite all this, there comes
an appointment that is an affront to the
Governor of the state and to the people
of the city. Truly, then, it did seem that
the only recourse might prove TO be the
one on which the Mayor was deter
mined If the courts will not end the
abuses that spring from the appoint
ment of improper persons to condemna-
ton cOmmissionerships then the Legis-
lature's attention should be directed to
the courts

reason for the practice is purely pc
cuniarv one. II makes the oysters larger

The oystermen of New Jersey nave

auDrehensions are shared by producers
and dealers elsewhere we DO not KNOW
but we cannot believe that they are Wen
founded. The oyster is too important an
article of food to lose its place In the
market and in the dietary simply

On the contrary, there is reason TO be-

improved rather than impaired by a
measure which we believe TO be, on the
whole. calculated TO promote the public
welfare

WHAT THIS COUNTRY GAINS.

1t is ROW in order for the knOw-it it
alls who have been demonstrating the
absolute unworkability of double
schedule tariff 10 show that even though
such a tariff has been made TO work,
contrary 10 all their q priOri conclu-
sions, its operations will result in no
material benefit TO the United States.
That IS a natural enough progress for
critics who cannot reconcile themselves
TO the maximum minimum plans sue
cess. Having prophesied that only disas-
trOus trade wars would follow an at
tempt to apply it and finding no trade
wars Undertaking, they now try 20 con
tent themselves with claiming that
though no harm has come no good has
come either. The Philadelphia Record
presented Il fair example of such Iet-uS-
hopef0r the-wOrst argument when it
said on Thursday:
The result OF the maximum provision
in the Payne-A Idrich law is that We
have narrowly escaped three tariff wars
which would have inflicted serious dam
age on our foreign trade and we have
gained nothing. We had recipro-
cal trade agreements with Germany and
France which had to he abrogated un-
der our new tariff law, but we have
avoided commercial wars with them by
what amounts in substance to q continu-
ance of the agreements. We have
averted Il tariff war with Canada on
terms not Yet disclosed, but the intina-
tons are that the Canadian concessions
are very slight--little more than an oX-
cuse Ia enable President Taft to avoid
imposing the penalty of % per cent

our goods.
THE Record" tries Ia belittle the ex-
tent of the concessions made by Germany
and France by comparing them 10 The
concessions granted under superseded
reciprocity conventions. Under the Ding
ley law the power 0f the Administrations
10 make reduct ions in rates was limited
10 "A few articles, like argol, still wines,
vermOuths, paintings and statuary.
Few concessions could reasonably be
asked in return. l'ut when. under the
Payne law. the entire minimum sched-
ule could be- offered as Il basis of reel
procity the United States was entitled
TO demand much larger equivalent. II
is not true that the new agreement with
Germany amounts la substance 10 Il
continuance of the expired one. Under
the old convention the United States re
ceived the benefit Of the German mini
mum rate on about one hundred tariff
numbers. Now il receives the minimum
rate OH the full go numbers Instead of
n partial entry into the German market
on most favored nation terms the limited
States now enjoys complete entry.
With France the settlement was n lit
tie different The French government
granted the minimum French rate on
about 81 per cent Of the American inn
ports subject 10 duty. and made some
additional concessions in lieu of the en-
f"rcement of maximum rates Oh the

THE WANDERING COURTHOUSE.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Regarding the site for the new
courthouse. TO my mind there could be no
better place selected than upon the plot
bounded BY Canal street Grand street (clos-
ing part OF Howard street. Broadway and
Lafayette street. This is d section of the city
which has not grown much i'll value in tho
last thirty years, and I'm some ways has
really gone backward, and I presume the
property could now be acquired at "A less
cost than almost any other plot of like size
anywhere in the city which could be called
suitable for the purpose in question.
