ix« n Convention.
The unfortunate spectacle of Judges
Grubb and Cullen disagreeing radically
and, if reports arc tobe credited antago
nistically, upon so simple and at the
same time so vital a matter as the
legality of tho attempted arrest of the
Milford burglars on that memorable
early morning train last month when
bullets were Hying around so lively anti
anxious passengers were inspecting the
protecting backs of car scats, comes as
another reminder that wo must have
constitutional revision—and wo cannot
have it too early.
We believe Judge Grubb to be m the
right legally; as he is unquestionably
right from tho standpoint of common
sense. It would bo a deplorablo state
of affairs if suspected felons are to be
permitted to go unrestrained and
«trainable until somebody armed with
a warrant can get after them. In
small a State as Delaware the delay in
separable from tho procuring of such a
document may often be equivalent to a
license to a burglar or murderer to place
himself beyond the reach of capture.
In the case of
person accused of a
misdemeanor merely it was long ago
decided by a unanimous bench (in a
trial at the old court house i
Castle) that no arrest can be made with
out a warrant except on sight of the
offcencc itself—but the public safety
imperatively demands that felons shall
not share the immunity of simple misde
meanants.

our judicial system is sadly crippled by
the decrepitude of the bench
the failure of past efforts to remedy this
makes a change i

When the Senate committee on privi

it. was aided in so doing by the vote of
Mr. Teller of Colorado. Of course the
bill had at every stage the ready aid of
Senator lliggins, who not only ex
citedly urged its passage, but declared it
to bo "a very restrained and moderate
bill," and it

papers and on the stump, as a just and
righteous measure.
In the Congressional Record of April
21st, at page 3,812, wo find the follow

given by Senator Teller :

:
We bclievo it is conceded by every
body who has given much thought to
the subject that it pays in the long
to improvo county roads. It economizes
horse-flesh and enhances the valuo of
property along the lino of the road. A
horse will draw a much bigger load
with less expenditure of power over a
properly macadamized road than over a
iddy road full of holes and deep ruts.
Our roads are probably a little better
now than they wore 25 or 50 years ago;
at least there is generally more labor
expended on them; but they are still,
a rule, wretched in bad weather. The
first cost of improving them is the groat
bugbear; after boinjf brought up the
annual expenditure for keeping them
in order would be less probably than
that of the labor which
plishes so little. New' Jersey i

third of the cost shall exceed that

Two-thirds of tho owners of property

appears to bo a just and safe measure,
which will provide for the improvement
