te1e1aphed during the week rumor that
nnes Ks1es, Judge Dixon, and Judge Hopkins
nto b. presented to the United States Grand
5uy, next January torn, for indictment for in-
tufs1ing to corrupt and prevent the proper ad-
sins!1atiop OF JUSTICE This arises out OF the
whisky tsial Of Sam Rindskopf last fall At
KAaisoo, and is threatened bv the Whisky
hing in retaliation for the present proeecu-
ions as though the fate Of individuals can
afsc. national and important system OF trials
iss shose 1t present ag1tating the nation, Judge
Hopkins being United States Judge, and Judge
Dixon the attorney Tor the United States in the
Milwaukee prosecutions. Tho allegation is that
Jz3Ee Hopkins had already decided upon three
}sars' imprisonment IS the punishment OF Sam
Rndskopf when Boss Reyes and Judge Dixon
togesher proceeded to the Judges residence
md used such arguments thht the term was re-
aacad to one day, and every ono will remember
shat I triumphant champaGne-driaking day that
vaa std what an outrageous defiance OF the
rnked States and all its power, and the laws Of
ths country. That Judge Hopkins could be
iMuecced by anything bat strong
ssnse OF right NO one will believe,
nless it Gun be prored, which I
hncy will be difficult, taat he had
really determined, Is stated. to make the term
three years. When the facts all come out, it
xll te interesting to SEQ what kind OF = figure
iiend Carpenter will cut for Matt Was the prin-
apA mover Of al in these Madison scenes, and
f&ny influence really was brought to bear BY
ny one ut all, it seems to have been used pre-
em!nently by Saint Matthew.
Another Iu1nor is that, no.wi thatauding the
pretty speeches Of Mr. Keyes, Oh the occasion OF
III recent visit here Of Postmaster Jewell, the
Boes is to lose the Madison Postmastership.
This reminds me Of the Postmnste1stip OF MIL
9sakse- Mr. West has enjoyed the Office, some
reopls my. as long ~ he ought to expect, and
hs is quite resigned to give another man a
eaanco. Mr. Shaw is supposed to have been
se!ncted rs his successor. Mr. L. II. Thomson
hs teen spoken OF, but believe Mr. Thomson
an have another Office, and one thst will suit
lin better, If he sayB "yes" when the time
samss to cffer it.
