GA STATESMAN AND GENTLE.
MAN.,
memorial Resolutions by the Appro.
prlations tOmmittee.-Of Which Mr..
Randall Was Chairman.
BY United Press.

by United Press.l
WASHINGTON, April 15.-The House
committee on appropriations, of which
Mr.. Randall YVES chairman for number
of years, met to day and adopted me-
mortal, setting forth the great services
performed by Mr.. Randall as the head
of the committee, and paying tribute
to his ability, honesty and worth as
statesman and as gentleman. "During
all the years in which ho served as rep
resentative and as member of this
committee the memorial eoes on to
say, ''nevcr for one moment was there
the slightest suspicion that lie was in
any way connected with any job. Alb
solutely pure in his personal aud pc
cuniary relations, he could afford
to do many things and to sub
ject himself to much opposition
which otherwise would have been impos-
sible. He and all the world knew that
he was invuinerable to any personal
attack
'Intense)y partisan as he was in his
| nature, his convictions and his hopes, he
never permitted any difference of poIiti-
| cal opinions to invade the personal rela-
tiOns which he bore to his colleagues on
this committee, nor to color his sense of
| Justice to those with whom he served
Indeed, his sense of duty to the country
and the government always controlled
| him as chairman of this committee. He
b :lleyed that il was TO the interest of the
common people, without regard to party,
that the expenditures should be kept
within the necessities OF the government,
and that all reform was based upon a
| strict economy.
1t is therefore, but justice
that We who were his colleagues,
and who are called to perform the duties
which were assigned TO him, should put
on record our admiration for the quail
ties which he exhibited in this position,
for the conspicuous and increased power
which he gave to the committee and our
! personal affection for him. To some
who nave oeeu associated with him
around the stable for years, his death is
q grievous sorrow; to all it Is personal
loss. Aud Jet there is in this grief only
pride that in q long, lab0rious aud Illus
lFlouS puOilc service tneT6 Is no Weakness,
not one day for which any one need
apologiz nor one act which requires eX
plauation. Such public Ii is tull OF
inspiration to those who are called t
discharge public duties and is an ex
emplar after which young men may
model themselves"
IL is therefore resolved that this min
ute be entered npon the records Of tht
committee, that the chairman be request
ed to transmit copy of it to the wife o
our friend to whom he will express oul
sympathy in that sorrow which nc
human affection can assuage

in Robson county for murder. He was
convicted and sentencea to be hanged.
An appeal was taken to the Supreme
court, and in the meantime Jacobs Wa~
put in jail. The appeal pap T. We're
sent to the Supreme court, and In due
time the case came up for argument ard
consideration. An opinion was filed
some time last month, confirming the
sentence of the lower court: aud accord
ing to law Governor Fowle proceeded
to appoint day for the execution OF
Jacobs. Last week lie appointed Ma
9Th as the day, and the papers We're
sent to the sheriff of Robson county
On yesterday the State and Court
officials were somewhat surprised to re
ceive a letter from the sheriff of Robe
son, stating that he herewith returned
the order of execution, from the fact that
Jacobs had broken Jail and made good
his escape on August 9th, 1889, anl
that the order could not be carried out

TIE New York Herald cenSures Attor-
ney General Miller, because Democratic
t. ;. attorney in Indiana could not nnd
any evidence Whereupon Col W. W.
Dudley cOnld be indicted lOr charges CON
meeting him with alleged election frauds
and the block-Of five letter-and further
because no action has been taken by the
attorney general in the matter of charges
filed by the senators from Florida, charg-
ing that the U. 5. judge lSwayne) OF that
district and the U. S. marshal manipu-
lated jures in election cases.
All along it makes a good deal of diff
ference hose OK is gored. For nearly four
years, under the administration of Grover
Cleveland and Pan Electric Garland
were the people Of this territory harassed
and persecnted by Democratic judges and
court officials, placed here for no other
purpose. Indictments by the hundreds
were found for alleged otfenses, said
to have been committed in alleged
land and election frauds, by cor
rupt and packed grand juries; judges
and court officials conspired together and
all worked for mutual pecuniary benefit,
for mutual political advantage and 10
crafty personal hatred, during Cleveland 3
alleged reform administration hundreds
OF indictments were found and not one
out OF hundred sustained. This fact is
conclusive and bears out everything that
We have sail, as true.
But no MugWump or Democratic jour
nal dared TO make mention of this; no
Mugwump or Democratic journal dared 10
call halt. But, nova days, they set up
fearful howl whenever even the least
semblance of alleged wrong is charged
by irresponsible and political tricksters,
or by politicians for political advantages
Give the attorney general his due we
think, he committed, for instance, a grave
error, in fact very grievous error, in not
bringing about the appointment OF new
chief justice of the supreme court of New
| Mexico ten months ago; but that the
attorney general is shielding Col. W. W
Dudley from prosecution, or is not read,
and willing to investigate charges agalns
Judge Swayne and the U. S. marshal o
Florida, is the veriest bosh and will no
20 down with sensible and decent men.
