Hon. J. NJ. Love, Judge Of the
United States District Court fol-
Iowa, has gone into print at length
upon the bare suggestion from Attor-
ncy General Williams. that the ex-
penses of the United States Courts
were in some States manifestly ex-
travagant, and needed careful and
economical supervision everywhere.
Judge Love compares the Court
expenses of Iowa with those in such
corruption breeding States as Arkan-
sas and South Carolina, and makes
an excellent showing; but al the
same time he had better take to
hear; the Attorney Generals admo-
nitions in behalf OF economy, as il has
long been remarked by these CONVEX

through Judge l.ores Court without
aggregating all the fees allowed by
law. whether necessarily incurred or
not. Even when defendant pleads

impanelling Jury and bringing in
a verdict is invariably gone through
with for the sole purpose Of permit
ting the collection of the prescribed
fees-for which Uncle Sam stands

These gentlemen received a patient
hearing. and were assured that ev-

delicacy OF the affair would be done
in direction of peace. They retired
much gratifed with the interview.

there were indications that some ar
engagements would be made BY the
contesting parties to end the hostile
demonstrations.
