they were not as improper as alleged of those
in che Indictment. The Jewellian policy
had been spoken of by Brady. Jewell had
been an economical business man in a
small state, aud believed that his
business should pay expenses carried that
idea into his administration. The court did
not know how Secretary Teller managed the
Interior department, but so far as the POST
Office department was concerned, assuredly he
was not in favor of q Jewellian policy, or any
policy that did not treat the service with lib
erality. Other gentlemen of distinction held
the same views, and it was not surprising that
they should believe that the western country
required all of the money that the govern
ment could spare, and that it would be
well invested. But this was n question
of intention. An error of policy was
not crime, and this court had
no power to determine questions of policy.
1t was here to try crime; the jury was here
to try crime and crime consisted of inten-
ton. If these orders had been made in con-
formity with an enlightened just, and liberal
policy of government, but made in pursuance
of q conspiracy to obtain money by means of
false papers, affdavits, and fraud then it was
crime, no matter how justifable as an act of
policy. So then the offer to show that the
same policy governed other administrations
would not advance theNcase step.

Kindergartens for Poor Children,
L.

With some knowledge of the needs of the
poor in Washington / would ask whether
free kindergartens cannot be established in
the parts of the city where the most neg
lected children live. No doubt the one taught
at st. Georges Hall, OH Eleventh street, north
of the avenue, may meet some want, but not
that of the poor mothers who are living in
less favored localities, and to whom it would
be great blessing if the children, too young
to share the work of the day, could be taken
schools in poor neighborhoods would tighten
many burden.

Last year there was no other bidder, and Sis
sons bid was Sl,35 per foot. This year he
doubtless thought he would have no competi-

YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIA'
TION.
An Encouraging Outlook for the Mem
phis Organization.

The report of the meeting last Sunday in
the interest OF the Young Mems Christian
Association, published in the APPEAL yes
terday morning, attracted large share OF
the attention of our leading business men.
The subject has been largely discussed among
those interested in the movement, and there
10 every prospect of its meeting with the
SUCCESS it deserves. The ministers of the
city are earnestly seconding the movement.
Messrs. JACK, Wills, Anderson, Jones and
Fox, the committee appointed 10 wait on
our business men and solicit the funds nee
essary to carry On the work for a year,
met and agreed upon form of subscrip-
ton paper. They report that those they
have approached express a deep inter-
est in the movement, and several generous
subscriptions have been promised to start
the list. They want S2500 to furnish the
rooms, secure literature and employ an eff
cient secretary. The committee will go
around again to-day, and we are sure they
will meet with ready response to their ap-
peal for funds.
