pen'drivers is to regard themselves as tho
overseers of the public plantation and the

But 1t is not often that an editor orders
public officials to violats the law. So far
rs this community is concerned that dis
tinction has thus far been monopolized by
one Crosbynoise, who edits" the EUening
star, which is the avowed organ of the
.iury-hxers.
Not long ago the Attorney General sent
a communication to the District Commits
sionors demanding the dismissal of George
O. Miller from the police force. There is,
of course, no means of knowing what the
Attorney General expected the ComDlis.
soners to do, but the tone of his demand
admits the inference that he expected them
to dismiss Miller without benefit of clergy
upon receipt of the document.
This inference is verified by the temper
in which the star has since discussed the
matter, the Star being notoriously the jury
fixers' organ. Among other things the
jury-fxers' organ says:
"Ihe reported action Oh tho commissioner
ssn'',y - ~, ,.,,,oao,'as az 49, 49,,
nec,iop with the star.Route case does not haye
ahealthy look"
When the editor Of the jury-fxers organ
wrote that sentence he knew perfectly
well that ''the reported action of the Com.
missioners in simply suspending Miller
was precisely the action that is taken in
every such case and that IL was mere for
NAL preliminary to the trial of Miller upon
the charges Of the Attorney. General.
The editor of the jury-fixers' organ also
knew that the law regulating the disci
pline of the police force compelled the
Commissioners to dojust what they did, and
prohibited them from doing any more than
they did But he says this action docs
not have a healthy look" and adds "What
do they (the Commissioners need in the
way of an explanation from him (Miller),
before taking action in his case? To be
plain with the authorities, they are them
selves on trial in this matter"
The law says that mo officer shall be dis
missed from the police force without trial
and he shall have the benefit of counsel"
This is section 35j of the U. S. Statutes
for the District of Columbia.
The .iury-hxers' organ says: "What do
they (the Commissioners need in the way
of explanation from him MILLER before
taking action in his case?" 1t is clear
from this that the editor of the iury.nxers'
organ does not consider the suspension of
Miller preliminary to trial in the light of
taking action" 1t thus appears that the
Attorney General, who Is the employer of
the iury-hxers, and Crosbynoise, who is
the editor of their organ, comedies.
The meaning of the Attorncy-Generals
letter was a demand for Millers dismissal
summarily, and the iury.fxers' organ

Case Involving the Grape Sugar Works
of Peoria.
BUFFALO, n. Y, Nov. 26.-The suit of
Thos. A. and VIM. T. Jebb against G. j. and
VIM. Hamin has been settled by the pay
ment of $74,5O2. The Plaintiff sold to
Messrs. Hamlin several years ago the
Peoria grape sugar works at Peoria, ILL.,,
and received in part payment a bond and
mortgage of $11 900, being the amount of
unpaid purchase money, which by agree
ment was to be paid in installments
Defendants also entered into a contract
agreeing to keep the premises for the ben
eft of the plaintiffs until such time as
the bond and mortgage had been paid and
assigned the policies to the plaintiffs on
security. Insurance was procured and
two payments of $4,000 each were paid on
the bond and mortgage. The works were,
soon after the second payment, destroyed
by fire, and defendants refused to assign
the policies. Thereupon Jebb brought suit
to prevent the Hamlins from realizing on
the ms urance.
