Proving Her Character.

Mary Griffith, the colored servant girl who
was arrested few days ago for robbing Mrs.
Adler, was given a hearing in the Police Court
this morning. Judge Miller held that the evis
dencs against the woman was conclusive, not
outstanding the girls side of the case az
stated by the witnesses. Counsel then called
witnesses TO prove Mary's good character
The first one called was old colored man
who responded when Uncle Jerry" was RED
quested to step forward.
do you know Mary he was asked
''oh, yes, sir. was his reply. Il knowed hss
when she lived in Prince Georges county"
do You know what her reputation is2"
'.Yes SIR"
''What is it?"
Il know she's honest. Why, judge, when q
lady wanted to employ her recommended he6
and told the lady I'd bet my life she wouldnt
steal"
Then you've lost your life" remarked Mr..
Armes.
No l amt" the old man added
Mrs. Adler then came to the rescue OF the

posed fine of only % or tive days in jail and

The Judges Salary Bill.

from the Atdnta CONSTITUTION
The House Judiciary committee shows mis-.
taken and unjust idea of the situation in givina
a few federal judges in the great cities q SUBJ
stantial increase of salary while il restricts the
great body of these hsrdworked and useful iu-
dicial officers TO a beggarly increase of $500.
The Senate, by the prompt and decided vote Oh
81 to IL, passed the bill giving ell the district
judges $1,000. In this, we think, the house
might well concur. In Canada judges with Q
jurisdiction corresponding to that of our district
judges are paid three times as much AL civil,
lied peoples recognize the vital importance Of
an independent judiciary, and however beautil
iul tine ludlciary system may be in theory No
body OF judges can be regarded independent
who are pressed for the necessities of life.
None are capable of fearless and elevated per.
Torrance Of duty when the cares Of daily life
aud the maintenance of their households thrust
themselves upon attention IN hours WHICH
should be concentrated on the public
business. All the judges should be res
ieved from the pinchings Of poverty,
and it is wholly illogical TO pay q metro
politan judge $1,000 and judge IN Atlanta
is the same. An equal degree Of talent, cul-
ture and legal requirements are essential A
Judge outside of New York or Chicago may be
called on to decide in one case vital legal or
constitutional principle which for centuries
may inhere in the country's jurisprudence, 70
protect the liberty and the property Of the
people. The judges should be, therefore, com>
pensated for the duties they may be called On
10 perform. Besides, the judge in large city
can remain all the year in the comfort and
comparative economy Of home. The judges
elsewhere have usually two or three places
for holding court, with the consequent large
additional expense of hotel bills and trsvelina
expenses, TO say nothing Of the discomfort IND
convenience and separation for weeks and
months from their familiea

HIS NAME PROXY, NOT WALKER.
The Seaman Cut Down by Commands
McCalla Is q Georgetown Man.

In the McCalla court OF inquiry in New Yorh
yesterday Lawyer Menzies recalled Private
Sanford, who testified that he had known in
Georgetown, ID. c., one John F. PROXY. who
was on the Enterprise under the name OF
Walker. lie was the only Walker in the crew
OF the Enterprise. When Sanford first came
on board he greeted the man as PROXY and was
told that he must call him Walker now. In
Georgetown PROXY was fireman on a tug aud
was considered very dangerous character
when under the influence OF liquor.
Mr.. Menzies then put in evidence suthenti>
Gated records that throw Light on parts Of the
career Of PROXY alias Walker. The first was hid
convection and Incarceration in the District rec
form school for incorrigibiity at the age OF sixs
teen. The accusation made by his father.
After that he was arrested several times for as.
sault and battery. He was also indicted for
grand larceny and forfeited his bond by escape
ing. HIS co-defendant was convicted. That
was in 1856, and was the last heard OF PROXY
until he was recognized by his former acquaint-
anee on board the Enterprise under the name
OF Walker.
DIR. c. q. Herndon testified that he was the
surgeon during the cruise OF the Enterprise,
and that IN all that time no man was injured,
nor was his health or constitution impaired BY
his confinement in a straight Jacket
Darling, who was ships corporal while the
Enterprise was at Gro stadt testified that after
ulgnt tuere was no ORDER deprlVlDG
the men OF their hammocks and that they were
not in irons after l O'Clock. They all mighs
have got their hammocks had they wanted
them. There was no case of men having been
kept in irons fifteen, twenty or thirty days
Lieut.. Fickbohm testified that there had
been no entries made in the log book OF thd
confinement of men in straight Jackets in coal
bunkers, and of other similar punishments.
he had made synopsis of the cruise of the
Enterprise. which placed in evidence.
The log books were also put in evidence for
reference. The conduct book was also put in
evidence, and Mr.. Menzies enumerated a num-
Der of men to whose names he wanted special
attention given in the inspection of the cons
duct book.
The court announced that IL any statement
was to be made by the counsel for the defense
II should be handed IN writing TO the court and
not made public. All the testimony in the case
was declared TO have been given. The court
then announced that after a few preliminaries
at the afternoon session the remainder of the
investigation would be made with closed doors.
The Criminal Court records here show thao
John PROXY and John Weeks were arrested
August 8, 1856. for larceny from the person
and that PROXY was released August l6, Jerry
Myers entering on his bond in $500: that they
were indicted and on call for arraignment De-
cember PROXY failed to respond aud his
recognizance forfeited. December 2S
Weeks was tried and found guilty. and January
;, 1887, he was sententenced TO the penitentiary
for eighteen months.

Our Commerce in the senate.

1t is evident, says the Chicago Journal
Of Commerce, that if American commerce
on the high seas is ever again made re-
spectacle it will be due to the efforts of
Legislators who favor protection to home
industries and not to the free traders
Recently, when the Senate at Washing
ton was debating the two bills reported
from the Committee on Commerce to
place the American merchant marine
engaged in the foreign trade upon an
equality with that of other nations and
to provide for ocean mail service be-
tween the United States and foreign
ports, and to promote commerce, Senator
Frye (protectionist), of Maine, spoke as
to both bills The American carrying
trade, be argued, was dead for want of
protection 1t was the only great
American industry of which this could
be said. Six millions year would re-
viye the dead body of the Ameri IAN
merchant marine and keep it on the
ocean. In reply, Senator Vest Gree
t-ader), of Missouri, said that he had
never, since he had been a member of
the Senate, been able to support bill
giving a subsidy for any purpose, nor
did he propose to do so now. And so it
goes The party of protection and prog
ress is generally right always at war
with wrong, and ever ready to aid and
support whatever will promote the best
interests of the Nation.

ABOUT PARTY POLITICS.
A Great Political Truth Uttered by SEN
ator Ingalls, of Kansas.

A Great Political Truth Uttered by Sem
ator Ingalls, Of Kansas.
1t is quite true. as Senator Ingalls, OBJ
serves, that in q popular representa-
tive form of Government, political
parties are indispensable. They are
the only agencies through which public
sentiment can be developed and applied
to practical uses The will of the
people is the law above all other laws,
and it is by means of parties alone that
this supreme force can have sway. 1t
follows, therefore, that every citizen
should be a partisan in the sense of
striving to promote the success of that
organization which best represents his
views and feelings. The idea of s'vot-
ing in the air" is false and pernicious

away his influence as an elector, or to
leave the work of choosing officers and
policies to others while he sits in the seat
of the scornful and censorious- No party
is perfect in its principles, or practices,
but it is better to belong to one of them
and to labor in its behalf than to turn
away from them all and be a mere spcc-
tator Of their proceedings. The two great
contending parties in our country stand
respectively for the affirmative and
negative of all important questions and
every citizen can find in the creed of
one or the other of them enough Of

justify him in giving it his support
One or the other is bound to rule, and it
is incumbent upon all voters to act
with one or the other in decided and
effective manner.
There are those who think it proof
of independence to stand aloof and dis
parage partisan activity; but such con-

men are supposed to have political
views, and they should see to it that
those views are so expressed as to serve
practical purpose. 1t is not necessary
to be an otfice-seeker in order to be a
politician. Every man has ithe right to
seek Office when so inclined, but it
should not require an incentive Of that
sort TO make him active in politics. His

A New Subsidized Forsien Line.

Speaking of the line between England
and Italy, lately projected, the London
Financial Times says:
With a subsidy of fli.o5o per annum for
seven years certain the Italo- Britain MICA

has always been o! AN extensive character,
and is likely TO grow very rapidly in the
future. No doubt the present subsidy has
been granted with q view to stimulate the
