Stays In Criminal Cases.The low relating to stays of proceedings

In criminal cases has been materially alteredby tho Legislature of 1894. The chango hasbeen effoctod by an nmendmont to section629 of tho Codo of Criminal Procedure, andappears to havo attracted but llttlo atten-tion as yet oven among lawyors, althoughIt wont Into effect nearly a month ago.

In the graver classes of offences In thisBtato, an appoal lies from tho judgment oftho trial court to tho General Term of thoHupromo Court. Even whon such an ap-

peal Is taken, the Judgment of tho trialcourt, oxcept In capital cases, muBt bo car-ried oulatonco. unless tho appellant obtainsn coitlllcato from tho .Tudgowho presidedottho trial, or from aJustlcoof thoSupromoCourt that, lu his opinion, thoro Is reason-able doubt whether tho JudRtuont shouldstand. By filing such a certlllcato with hisnotice, of appeal, tho dofendnnt in a crim-inal caso may dolay his Imprisoumont upontho Judgment against him ponding a ro-vi-

by tho General Term. If he Is defeatedIn tho General Term ho may appeal furthorto tho Court of Appoals. In order to stayproceedings upon this final appeal ho mustproeuro a certificate of reasonablo doubteither from a Supremo Court Justice, orfrom one of the Judges of tho Court of Ap-

peals Itself. Stays in criminal cases, how-ove- r,

havo been very soldoni granted by thoJudges of tho Com t of Appeals. Tho onlyInstances which we now recall In whichsuch stays havo been granted aro thoSham case, where a ccrtlflcato which hadtho effect of staying proceedings was made,by Chief Judge Ituor.rt. and tho caso ofTayi.oh, tho Cornell University studontwlui refused to testify concerning tho ro-ce-nt

clilorlno poisoning tragedy ct Ithaca,In which Chief Judge ANDiinws has rocentlysigned a certlllcato of reasonablo doubt.

Undor tho law as It ezlstod prior to thorecently adopted amondmont, tho convicteddefendant or his counsel might apply fora certlllcato of reasonablo doubt to any onoof tho forty-si- x Supremo Court Justices InthoStato; and If his appeal was to the Courtof Appeals, to any ono of tho soven Judgosof that tribunal. Tho latitude thus affordednot Infrequently gavo riso to the uncdlfy-In- g

spectacle of lawyers rushing about thoStato, to ono Judge after another. In searchof stays In criminal cases. This happenedso of I on that It was thought wlso to limittho applications In oach caso for a certlll-cato of reasonablo doubt to two In number.Tho effect of the amendment Is to permittho convicted defendant to apply for accrtlflcato of ' reasonablo doubt to twoJudges and no more. If both refuso to granttho certlllcato the judgment must bo car-ried out, notwithstanding tho appeal, ex-

cept In cases whero tho penalty Is death. Inwhich the moro sendee of tho notlco of ap-

peal operatos as a stay of proceedings.It was proposed also to restrict tho appli-

cations for a ccrtlflcato of reasonable doubtto tho judicial district In which tho trialtook placo. This Idea, however, was wiselyabandoned, for It might somotlmos happenthat a Judgo living at a distance from tholocality In which tho events Investigatedupon tho trial occurred would tako aclearer and fairer vlow of the caso thanJudges residing In tho lmmcdlato vicinity,no mattor how Just nnd fair might bo theircharacter and disposition.

The Troubles on the Danube.The overthrow nt Soda of the Ministry

healed by Mr. STAMnoLOFF.who has beenfor years tho real master of Bulgaria, andtho resignation of tho Wukeiile Ministryat Budapest, havo onco moro concentratedattention on the Danublan region. Theseincidents were precedod by a coup d'ilal atBelgrade, but as this oncountcrod no vio-

lent rcslstanco on tho part of tho Sorvlanpoo pie, It seemed probablo that the disturb-ance would be localized. Should civil war,however, breuk out In Bulgaria, tho conse-quences might be serious, inasmuch as thointerests of Bussla uud Turkoy aro directlyinvolved, whllo those of Austro-Hungar- y

aro affected to a certain oxtcnt.It Is woll known to those who have fol-

lowed the course of things at Sofia since thekidnapping of tho late Prlnco Al.nXANDEHof Battonborg and his subsequent resig-nation of tho Bulgarian crown, that Mr,STAJiuuLovr, whllo ostensibly upholding aconstitutional regime, has virtually been adictator. Ho prevailed on tho Sobranje, orBulgarian Parliament, to mako Prince Feudinasi of Coburg tho ruler of the country,in tho belief that tho Utter would contenthlmsell with tug merely decoratlvo func-tions of sovereignty, leaving the real poworto his Primo Minister, 'lids arrangementwas carried out for a time, and mighthave been lasting, but for the Prince'smother. Princess Clemknttnk, who has thereputation of being tho most clever and

.ambitious member of the Orleans family.Deblrous of seeing her son a genuine sov-ereign, and thinking that it ho exercisedthe power of political initiative he mightinanagu to propitiate the Czar, she Inducedhim to dismiss Mr. STAUUUi.opr and forma new Cabinet, mado up of the enemies ofthat Minister. Tills act ofgave rise to riots at Sofia and elsewhere InBulgaria, tho police of the capital and apart of the standing army siding with thodeposed Premier. If we may trust the tel-

egrams, which are subject to a rigorousoen3orsblp, the Prince and his partisansseem for the moment to have the upperhand; but tbore Is reason to doubt theirability to retain It, without the more or lessovert support of one of the neighboringpowers. Tho first stop In this direction,however, on the part either of Russia orTurkey, would at once revive the Easternquestion in a highly acute form.

At Budapest the resignation of Dr.Wxkekle, the Premier, has raised theconstitutional question whether tho popu-lar branch of the Hungarian Parliamenthas the right to Impose its will on the upperBouse and the sovereign. It will be re

membered that the Civil Marriage bill,carried through the House of Representa-tives by a largo majority, was thrown outIn the House ot Maguato by a slight oxcess of adverso votes. Dr, Wekkrle thenroquestod Kaiser Fjiancis Joseph to creatoa sufficient number of Mngnatos to assurotho passago of tho measure. The Emperorconsented to appoint three llfo lords, butrefitted to Increaso thonumborof hereditarylegislators. Thoroupon the Prime Ministerof Hungary nnd his eollesRUos resigned,nnd Count IlEDEnvAnr, a loos uncompro-mising Liberal, who had, howover, votedfor the Civil Marrlago bill, was called uponto form a Cabinet. According to tho latesttelegrams ho has found It Imposslblo to doso, the Uouso of Representatives adheringfirmly to tho programme of tho WEKEnu!Ministry. As a llnnl expodtont, tho Em-

peror has gono to Budapest for tho purposoof seeing what can bo effected by his per-

sonal Influence.It Is well understood that under tho dual

systom ot administration, established ntthe Buggostlon of Couut von Beust, thoHAfpnuno sovereign ha hitherto securedtho cordial nlleglanco ot tho Hungarians byndherlnR faithfully to tho maxim that thoKing reigns, but docs not govorn. Thopresent crisis Is tho sharpest test to whichtho rotation of tho Magyar nationality tothe court of Vienna has bocn subjoctedslnco tho Institution ot tho dual regime.

The Tithes of Vlo.If tho testimony given boforo the Lrocow

commltteo Is genuine, if It Is founded In

truth and Is not tho product of consplraoynnd fraud, then It reveals a condition ofdepravity and corruption In tho Depart-mont- of

Pollco almost boyond human belief.If It bo truo, and unfortunately probabil-

ity apparently points to 1U truth, thenthcio Is uncovered tho foulest moralcesspool that was ovor disclosed In tho his-

tory of n community.It remains only to know what Is Its ex-

tent; how far tho Infection has sproad andwhom it has ombracod.

If It bo truo that tho pollco Captains andtheir subordinates havo for yoars. withmethod and systom, levied upon loathsomovice a horrible toll, tho responsibility hasnot been nn undivided ono, nor has thofilthy lucrcmont boon unsbarod. No ono,howover high his plnco. howover groat hispower, should escape. And tho moasuro ofhis punishment should bo stern; and to thomsnaclos ot tho felon should bo nddod sucha weight of Infamy and degradation thatthere should bo no surviving It.

In It truo that tho. Captains of pollco havobecomo rich men out of tho cultivation ofvlco? Is human depravity fostered In NowYork for its putrid usufruct ?

Aro theao things really true or Is It all ahorrible nightmare that affrights and numbsthe senses? It it is not. then It would bowoll to put apathy u6ldo and tako up thocudgel and tho broom.

Tho Importauco ot spoed in war vesselswas never shown to better advantage than Inthe naval battle ot Memphis, which was fought

On this day theUnion Ironclals under Capt Charles HiaxTDavis moed down the river to esgace theConfederate flotilla, which was sommandedby Capt Uontoouebt. The Confederate ves-sels were swift river boats, and, belnr proteeted about their machinery and mountingheavy guns, had proved themselves on severaloccasions before this formidable antagonist!to the slow moving but heavily plate I ironcltds that comprised the upper JJIeslselpelUnion fleet. On the day of this battle, however, two new steam rams, also swift riverboats protected about their scaeldnery, hatbeen added to the Union fleet. 'I her were theQueen ot the West and the Unaroi. TheUnion Ironclads moTed slowly . own (lie riverto e netse the enemy, while the two rams werekent a shert dletance astern When nearthe enemy the Queen of the West and theMonarch dashed past our Ironclads atfull speed. The Queen ot the Westmade straight tor the Colonel Lovell, and

very one expected that there would be abead-o- n collUlon. But just before the steamere came into contact the Colonel Lovellheaded Inibore. thus exposing her broadsideat right ancles. The Uolon ram crashed intothe Confederate vessel, catting her nearly latwo, and in a few setonds the wrtek hail

belor the water. The Monarch hadselected one ot the Confederate stsamsrs asher opponent when the Confederate rams.General Beauregard and General Price, made adash at her from opposite sides. Bat the oomDanders f these vessel had not calculated oathe great speed of the new Union vessels, aadsupposed that they were still deallxg witht.w-ls- g vatt, The result was that they

missed thslr aim Altogether and crashed Intoeach other, the General Beanrecard carryingoff the General Prleo's port paddle-whe- el andeerlouelr Injuring her bull, while the latter ranaihore on the Arkansas side. With the aid ofthe swift rams the Unionists made short workof the Confederate Tsssels, which were sunkor dispersed In a few minutes.

The most serious portion ot his letters wasthat which so clearly pointed out the dangeroua difficulties between France and Eng-

land and the bitter feeling engendered In theformer country by British proceedings InAfrica. In the face ot the Triple Alli-

ance, that peacetul league formed t7Bismirck for the dismemberment and finalcrashing ot France, it may, to a superficialobserver, seem strange that Frenchmen shouldtake steps toward bringing England Into lineagainst them But. attor all, there is nothingstrange about it. The atatasmtn and soldiersof France know very well that If. In a Inture war between France and the trlpllce,the first portion ot the campaign shouldprove disastrous to the French force Eng-

land would Immediately Join the winning side.On the other hand. If, through Husslan co-

Thespeelfleobiecttonatothe proposed Incometax measure are, first, that It Is not necessary!there are ether end much less objectionablemethods of raising the needed revenue for lbsupport ot the Oovernnwntt second, It is claeslegislation ot a most offensive and unjustifi-able sort-plae- lng the burden ot governmenton the shoulders of a single class, and exerart'nc all others! third. It's a scheme of Statesocialism which seek to create an exclusivee'ass ot eontrP utors ot public revenue nndanother exclusive class nt rruletalres havingno Interest in their O..vornir.ent. Kverr Intelllgent elttzen ran understand that when peopie cease to have nnv share In His support oftheir Government they sonn lose their selfrespect as otllzens, as well as all concern Inthe administration ot ruhllc affairs

Among our own people, and nt this presentdar, a tax upon Ineomrs Is oneot the most un-

popular and undemocratic forme ot taratlnnthat can be suggested. Kxperlence, the bestle.icher In such matters, shows that of all thetaxes the Income tax can be most easilyevaded that no torm ot taxation,' not eventhat upon a man's secrt holdings ot propertyof nn invisible and Intangible description,offers greater temptatlna to the practice otfraud and perjury. As In the caseot thetav.upon certain kinds of personal property. It fallsupon the honest and conscientious and Isevaded by the dishonest and unscrupulous.It Is a tax upon honesty much more than uponproperty.

"I hadn't the least idea that the Board woolddo any such thing. I cannot speak ot themotives ot the Aldermen.but I do say I thoughtI was guarding the Interests of tho city invetoing the resolution. The franchise wasaltogether too broad In scope nnd gave toomuch power to the company. AldermanWalkloy told mo he drew the franchise, liedid the whole thing. Walkley Is a peculiarmnn. He Is well, lie Is Walkley. The Idea ofgiving a charter over the whole city to acompany, and no restrictions in it whatever!It Is all wrong."

The plan Is not wholly novel In principle,and armored trains' were used In the sortiesfrom Paris In the Pranco-Gorma- n war. Buttho experiment made on the London. Brightonand 8oulh Coast Hallway, along a branchline bstwnen Xowhaven and Seafnrd. has somest eclat features of Internet. 'Ihe armoredtrain consisted ot an ordinary locomotive, acar or truck spolnllr contructed for carry-ing tho gun and lis ammunition, nnd trio earstor the moo and the llmbor. The gun nnd Itscarriage are mounted on a turn-tsbl- pivotedon the centre of the truc'.t. and revolving on acircular racer. The detachment that works thegun Is protected bvn plating about six feot high,around three sldss of the turn-tabl- and thegun Is fired through an aperture In tho plating.The recoil Is checked br n hrdraulto brake,anil also by tho fact that the unit wheels runback In Brooves that lle gradually Thecrossgln'ersara so arranged ns to borunout.andsurpnrte.l by blncka en that a brnad I ae tnrevbn obtained for the truck when llrlng broadside,and the car can also bo connoutod with tin)rails by stroug clips.

ItWds lound, It 'Wnver. In t'e practice heldthat there wns no need of nptilla ices tor In-

creased stability. The recoil n, the gun wasabout two feet, nnd thore was no perceptiblestrain on tho track. The .V. Jnnire's f.riirifnote that the nrlou. plane detleed for r,roventing the esrx from moving were graduallyabandoned as tiseloss
