THE V. NJ. |. TROUBLE

1t is impossible to see how Supt
Nichols, of the V. NJ. l., could have
done ought but dismiss the cadets of
the third class who so openly vIo-
lated the rules of the institute and
committed serious, if not unpar-
donable breach of discipline. We
infer from the reports which have
come to US that these cadets entered
into an agreement, which might cas-
ily be termed conspiracy, to defy
the authorities and say what should
be done to those found guilty of
using explosives in the barracks con-
trary to the regulations of the
school. The V. NJ. l. being a mill
tary school the offense could not be
viewed in any other light than that
of a rebellion against military dlscl-
pine, and naturally such conduct
calls for extreme action. Gen. Mich
OILS is a man Of absolute fairness and
impartiality, and it seems highly i'm
probable that he would have ex-
PEELED an entire class from the insh-
tute unless he deemed it absolutely
necessary for the preservation of
good order and discipline. If the
cadets instead of the military au-
thorities are to be allowed to have
their way at the V. NJ. l., then the
influence of the school and its use
fulness will be gone.

THEJUDICIARY AND THERECALL

The California bar is taking sides on
a proposition to apply the recall TO the
Judiciary. Under such provision the
courts would have over them perpetual
Nv a rod constraining them to interpret
the law and pass judgment not IN ac-
cordance with the statutes and facts,
but in consonance with the desires OF the
public, or, what is even less defensiole,
the interests of the powerful political
machine. Ii should be keptin mind that
the recall is a weapon that may be en-
ployed for a bad purpose as well as
good one. Itmay be invoked equally
by ringsters and reformers, as the nights
and privileges OF both are the same.
Furthermore, an upright and conscien-
tious Judge needs protection from the
rash and inconsiderate action OF a ma
iority bent upon the accomplishment OF
a public good in an unlawful way. -Phll-
adelphia Public Ledger.
