EDWIN BOOTH.

Tho foolish statement has recently been set
a1Oat that Edwin Booth was born in
London. Mr.. Booth is an American. and was born
at his fathers farm near Baltimore, November IS
OF 16, 1888. This Is his own report of the matter
and the presumption is that he knows the truth.

The Connecticut Convention yesterday Joined
the unbroken chorus in It's favor.
II Congress continues of its present liberal
mind every village will have a Government
building and every crossroads granite post
office. Sixteen more buildings are now pro-
posed by the House Committee at q cost of ST.
SOC, 900, while the House has refused within
tho mast week to appropriate One-ffth of that
sum to continue work on buildings already be-
gun and in absolute need of it. In Albany, for
example the stone lies on the ground, and Con-
gress does not give the money necessary to place
it upon the walls. This matter of public build
ings is an epitome of the Democratic govern
mental policy as shown by the action of Con-
gress-hberal where liberality is sheer extrava-
gance, penuriOuS where such economy is waste
and folly.
The Government has prosecuting officer of
n queer kind in Chicago Mr.. Leake, whose
duty il became as District Attorney to prosecute
one Of HE friends, an ex-pOscmaster charged
with embezzlement, appeared both for and
against the Government, or rather did not ap-
near for the Government at all. He went vol
unfairly upon the stand as q witness to the
nostmaster's good character and afterward
asked to be excused from addressing the jury,
"a II would be apainful" for him to do so.
when Judge Blodgett denied this request, Mr..
Leake excused himself by simply making a
brief and evidently insincere demand for con-
yicsion. This is an extraordinary prostitution
of official powers. Mr. Leake might have re-
signed his office, or left the disagreeable prose
cation to another. As 1t was, he seems to have
