Standing Of the House.

Washington, 10.-The election of
democratic member of the House
of Representatives from the
Eleventh New York District de-
stroys the majority of the straight
cut republicans, and they will be
able to muster only 146 votes, one
less than a majority. The repub-
licans here are not very much con-
cerned over this as they express no
doubt Of being able to pick up the
one vote requisite to constitute a
majority without much trouble.
They have nine greenbackers, two
Virginia readjusterS, and one New
York Independent republican to
draw from, and their calculations
are therefore, based on good foun-
dation. although if these twelve
members who belong to neither of
the regular organizations were to
combine, they could dictate their
own terms. But since the readjust-
ers of Virginia are indebted for sue
cess in their state election to the aid
of republicans, there is no doubt
that the two readjuster members
from that state will vote with the
in the organization of
the House.

Iers and prices; second, the increase
in wages; third, the expansion and
enhancement of agricultural inter-
ests by the growth of home manu-
features and our domestic indus

TIE STAR ROUTES.
Decision of Judge Cox In the
Matter.

Washington, 1O.-In making his
decision III the star route cases, to-
day, Judge Cox said: We had moth
Ing TO do with the popular sense of
the term Infamous" but only with
Its technical sense as determined by
the decisions of the courts and the
enactment of the statutes. The
views he might entertain must be
controlled by the local legislation of
Congress, and he felt compelled to
avoid the instructive field of specu-
latlVe for the narrower task of in
terpreting the laws as provided.
No person should be held to answer
for capital or otherwise infamous
crime, except on presentation or in
dlctment by the grand jury. Sec
ton 1919 of the Revised Statutes for
the District of Columbia declared
that the police court should have
original and exclusive Jurisdiction
over all otfenses against the United
States, committed in the district,
not deemed capital or otherwise in
famous crimes; that is to say, of all
simple assaults and batteries, and
other mlsdemeanOrS not punishable
by imprisonment in the penitentiary.
These two enactmentS embraced all
the Otfenses against the United
States that could be committed
within the district and grouped
them in two classes-those which
were capital or otherwise Infamous
and those not capital or otherwise
Infamous. The offense charged in
this information must be in one
category or the other it must be in
famous or not infamous. If the
former, the Constitution required ii
to be tried On preSentment or ind1ct-
ment by the grand jury; if the lat
ter, the police court had exclusive
cOgniZance of it, and it could only be
tried in the criminal court upon
an appeal. Judge Cox. cited au-
thorities, and said it seemed the
effort Of legislation was to classify
the OffenSes like that charged here
amid infamous crimes, and thereby
secure the defendants from prose
c1tiOn except upon Indictment. i
that were so, of course the infOrma-
ton could never have been rightly
filed. Leave ought to have been re.
fused, and the order granting leave
must necessarily be rescinded. The
information should not have been
fled at all. 1t would be proper fol-
the court to examine the oaths tC
see whether probable cause was
shown, and whether it was in suet
form as would justify Issuing war
rants. 1t was not necessary that hi
should determine anything with re
gard to the sufficiency of the oath il
the present case. The information
had been assaulted on various
grounds affecting its merits; il
had been claimed it did not
set forth an indictable offense
because the acts alleged might have
been done in the discretion of the
defendants, or at least one of them
AMI that the only proceeding was
10y Impeachment. II had also been
claimed that conspiracy must be
20 do some acts made criminal by
the statute; again that the Informal
on was contradictory and crime
alleged impossible, but any discus
sion of these points by him, he
thought. would be gratuitous and he
said nothing. 1t remains for me but
to grant the motion made by the de-
PENDANTS and order their discharge.
