IL Neither Rains Nor SHOWS In jail ana

A Baltimore special says: John I. Nor
ris. the Sun reporter, has gone 70 jail rather
than sacrifice his honor by betraylng con-
fGence. Several weeks aga he wrote an
item giving the particulars OF an indl;l-
mcnt that had been found, but not
announced, Ivy the grand jury. He
was summoned before that body, but
he refuscd to divulge the source OF
his information. The Jury brought the Gaze
before Judge Duffy in the Criminal Court.
Mr.. Morris lii refuses TO give the name 0f
his informant. Again he was brought be-
fore the same court and sent to the grand
jury with an order 10 answer, but his re-
iusal was firm and interchangeable. To-day
was set for argument on a motion to com

He emphasized III, fact that the action Of
Mr.. Morri1 WAS thoroughly honorable and
conscientious.
Judge Duffy In summing up the facts
referred 10 the Maulsby case, in which Mr.
MaulSby was both fined and Imprisoned for
refusing to answer before the grand jury

tons.
When asked il ne was prepared to do this
Mr.. Morris replied, "a most respectfully

4 NEEDED REroRN.-The CORgre>SiOna!
Record cannot lee dispensed with. But the
SuIplusagC in Ii can be dispensed with.
Let Congress enact that nothing shall be
printed that has not been uttered on the
fo0r, and thai 10 member shall be per.
United 10 read a speech. This would lb0l.
ish half Of the ReCOM at a blow, and that
the fraudulent half. Then let all remarks
be- reported and printed exactly Il they are
delivered, without any correction or
amendment The HecOrd would thus be
made small enough TO handle and interest
Ing enough To read. Washington Post.
Undoubtedly the record is loaded down
with speeches never made, aud with dOcu-
ments never read, IN either house OF Con-
gress. These documents, however, occupy
more space than bogus speeches. We have
seen the same sets Of tables in perhaps a
dozen speeches. To number Of speeches
delivered in Congress last winter were at
iached In the Record many columns OF
papers and documents supposed to have
been referred to by the speakers. Reports
Of conference committees aud the texts Of
bills MI up much space, and these two
classes Of matter cannot well be excluded.
But above all, II no speeches were pub
lished IN the Record except such as had
been actually made in one or the other
house, the result would be that all congress
men would manage somehow to deliver
their speeches. OF course neither house
will ever attempt to prevent member from
reading his speech. So the Record must
continue TO carry It's load.

The BOidsst Robbery since the Day of

A Minneapolis (Minn.) special OF Decem-

three men drove up in front Of the large
iewehy store Of j. K. Elliott, corner Of

bc done to apprehend them both men had
jumped INTO the sleigh and drove rapidly

The display in Elliott's window at the time
Of the robbery. Several policemen Were
within half block OF the scene, but could
not get there in time TO apprehend the bold
thieves. a posse Of men have started
after them with fast horses, aud the tele-
phone and telegraph have been utilized to
notify all outlets Of the city to be on the
lookout for them.

An Act Of Limitation and the Eject
tpOn UunaturGd Coupons.


In answer 10 the query Of the writer The
DiSpafch stated that the Legislature had the
power 10 pass an act Of limitation 10 enforce
he settlement according 10 the provisions
OF the RiddlcbcrgcT bill; and the Dispatch
also stated that il was the interest, and not
the principal. which was giving trouble.
This is undoubtedly true; but, Mir. Editor,
the writer did not think that such an act
would be retroactive, a. that would be
plainly unconstitutional. Such an act,
however, would certainly affect the unmt-
tured coupons. In the case Of the uniunded
bonds, il The principal be declared forfeited
for noncompliance within specified time.
there would be nothing upon which inter
est could accumulate. The unfunded con-
sol bonds would then be- in a decapitated
condition. d., OF NJ Vernon.
