AN MANIFESTATION SUBSTITUTE.

~T~HOSE persons who were instrumental in defeat
ing the DUPONT Boulevard project now are en-
deavorine to reconcile the Delaware public to their
runous work by saying that the State road soon will
be improved its entire length that shall have
stateong boulevard without the friendly Intervention
Of General T. Coleman dupont The truth Is that If
that be done the people viii pay hundreds Of thou
sands OF dollars for substitute for something
they might had for nothing The State road never
can be and will be a suitable substitute for
the magnificent thoroughfare that was proposed by
General DUPONT II is both narrow and tortuous;
Whereas the DUPONT Boulevard would have been both
wide and straight and its grades and drainage would
have been infinitely superior to anything the people
need hope for through the improvement the State
road at public expense
The opponents Of the dupont Boulevard need not
comfort themselves with the thought that the pub
lie is to be reconced to its loss by this prospective
stateroad substitute for the handsome road that
era DUPONT offered to give That is expecting too
much When such substitute is suggested the fol-
lowing question naturally falls from the lips Of Della
who for many decades have been the vic
Tins OF inefficient and extrayagant road management
and consequent bad roads
why should be called upon to pay hundreds
of thousands OF dollars for the improvement Of mar
crooked and mperfecy graded and drained State
road when we may have, for nothing through the
public spirit and generosity OF General dupont a wide
straight and properly-graded and drained boulevard
extending the length the State and connecting with
the good roads systems Of Pennsylvania and Mary
land?'
That question is both natural and sensible and those
who have opposed and blocked the building Of the
boulevard give natural sensible reply to It
to justify such a substitution. A few selfish prop
erty and a handful Of politicians respon-
sble for the loss by the people of this great public
utility.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
How a Judge Maintained
Dignity Of the Law
By HoIIsud.

AS able a jurist as ever sat upon
the bench of any State court OF the
United States was the late Judge
George Edmunds, OF New York State
His name and his Pre- 'essional attain
ments were favorably known to every
prominent lawyer in the United
States. On the bench he was a model
of judicial impartiality. somewhat
stern, but always just. No preiu-
dices ever influenced him. OF the
bench he was very companionable
man.
Judge Edmonds was greatly ad-
mired by Martin Van Buren,, and
after Mr.. Van Buren's retirement
from the Presidency of the United
States to his charming country home
az kinderhook, near the city of Hud-
son, n. Y, he used frequently 10 en-
tertain the judge. The ex-President
was greatly pleased when Judge Ed
monds was assigned to a court, sit
ting at the city of Hudson, which is
the county seat of Columbia county
As often as possibe he had Judge
Edmonds as guest at dinner or over
Sunday. Then Judge Edmonds used
frequently to meet the brilliant son
of Martin Van Buren,, widely known
as Prince John" the nickname
Prince" having been given to him
by Thurlow Weed, shortly after young
Van Buren, began his career in
politics and at the bar.
prince John" was a man of strik-
ingly handsome face, erect, tall, we'll
proportioned, considerably taller than
his father, thef ex-President. Judge
Edmonds was assigned to hold court
in Hudson county in 1S45 or 1886

the States right to ownership in GER

be very exciting. Both the Attorney
General and Jordan were repeatedly
called to order by Judge Edmonds.
At last one of the counsel forgot
himself. He swore at the opposing
counsel, using actually blashphemous
language. Thereupon the other coun-
sci picked up a law book and hurled
it at the head of the irate lawyer who
had insulted him.
Instantly Judge Edmonds suspend
ed court proceedings.
He said: "Your conduct is not
only unworthy of gentlemen. but is
in glaring contempt of this court.
therefore sentence you to imprison-
ment in the county Jail for one day"
But, your honor said Prince
John, while we recognize that we
deserve the censure of the court. al
though no disrespect was meant, yet
we ask your honor to change the
sentence from Imprisonment to
fine"
