The Indictment of Judge Jenkins.


Much surprise has been caused to the
business community in the great cities Of
the Northwest by the announcement that
JAMES G.. JENKINS. one OF the Circuit Judges
OF the United States Of the Seventh Circuit.
has been indicted for criminal misconduct
as u director Of the Plankinton Bank.
Judge JENKINS has long enjoyed high
reputation in Milwaukee,. both as citizen
and as lawyer and his friends express entire
confidence In his innocence OF tho accusa-
ton against him. which. indeed, appears to
have been wholly unexpected by anybody
The Judge is reported as saying that II he
had to face this trouble only in the presence
Of the people OF Milwaukee. he would
not mind it SO much. for they have
been acquainted with him for years
and know him TO be honest and faithful in
the discharge OF business trusts and per-
sonal obligations. He feels very deeply,
however. the imputation on the fair name
OF the Federal judiciary which the indct-
ment carries with it; and 1t Is reported that
he will lay the matter before President
CLEVELAND. and resign his Office If the Pres
ident thinks best.
We do not believe that the President will
advise Judge JENKINS to resign. No doubt
the position of the Judge is one OF consid-
erable embarrassment. 1t is very unde
sirable for a person to be under Indictment.
who is engaged in the administration Of
justice; for. however innocent he may be in
fact. the tendency OF the criminal charge
tends to some extent. and in the minds
OF good people. to impair the re-
spect due to him as judicial officer,
and hence to lessen for the time be-
ing the weight Of his decisions. On the
other hand, it would be monstrous to say
that q Judge who has always borne a
high character should be at once driven
from the bench and practically disgracsd
for life. simply because somebody has sue
ceeded in getting Grand Jury to find an
indictment against him. although within
few months after his resignation he might
be promptly acquitted by a trial jury.
II Judge JENKINS is confident in his own
rectitude Of purpose and conduct. and the
President shares that confidence. the
proper course for him to pursue seems to
be plain. He should use every means
within his power to bring the indictment
against him to trial at the earliest possible
moment. requesting the authorities. il such
q course be practicable. to convene an
extraordinary session Of the court. in order
that the case may be disposed OF with
out delay. In the mean time he can only go
on doing his judicial work as best he may.
The law presumes him to be innocent.
and IL the high opinion Of his character
which seems to prevail in the places where
he is best known Is trustworthy guide.
he will evidently be declared innocent by
the verdict OF Jury.

Holman Economy and the Platform

Holman Economy and the Platform.
It is fair to presume that this extract
from the Washington correspondence OF our
esteemed contemporary. the Herald. is but
the ocho Of conversation which has passed
through the medium OF a large black Lone
Star sombrero:
Judge HoLaAS. Chairman of the Committee on Ap-
propriations 10 to be succeeded 1t Is SAID by exGov.
sruor sAIxns OF Texas who is more in accord with
the consory ativo ideas Of tho Administration. Mr..
sAYsnss friends say he the difference between
Holman economy and tho extrararanco of the
billion Dollar Congress-"
Tho Hon. JOSEPH d. SAVERS Of Bastrop is
not to be blamed II any admirers OF his are
talking In this way; nor Is 1t he whom
such talk tends to make ridiculous. Tho
notion. however. that there is kind OF
economy known rs HOLMAN economy"
which Is not in accordance with the views
Of the Administration, and another kind OF
economy which is not economical and at
the same tlme Is not so very e1travagant.
viii do for persons who delight in para
doxes. and maintain that white is black.
Tho notion that the Administration would
be conservative in being extravagant. be-
longs also to tho region Of paradox.
As even HOLMAN economy" could not
prevent the Fifty-second Congress from
following the evil example set by the Fifty
first. the Democrats in the Fifty-third Con-
gress will not require any more extrava-
Rance In the matter Of appropriations. They
must curtail and not expand; and the best
thing they can do Is to stick to Mr.. HOLMAN.
instead Of overruling him every now and
then ut tho expense OF few more millions.
There Is an especial reason why the
Democrats In the Fifty third Congress will
DO held to severe economy. They cannot
mako single extravaganza appropriation
without breaking their platform: I'VE de-
clare 1t to be Fundamental principle OF the
Democratic party" says the Chicago plat
form. "thnt tho Federal Government has
no constitutional power to impose and col
lect tariff duties. except for the purpose Of
revenue only: and We demand that the
collection OF such taxes shall be limited to the
Secssstties Of the Government tchen honestly
q1d economically administered"
Every act OF extravaganza on the part OF
the Democrats will violate this Democratic
promise. and make necessary the appliCa-
ton OF some part Of tho taxes laid for reve-
nue only. to pay tho expenses Of the Govern
ment not economically administered. Every
item In every appropriation bill will have to
be scrutinized with unusual care on this
account. Otherwise. the Democrats may be
breaking their pledge at any moment. 1t
Is not enough for them to be honest. They
mas. be economical They need HOLMAN
economy" more than they ever did. II they
can find anybody who is more likely than
MrHohMAN to keep them in the strait and
narrow path OF economy. all right: but who
ever drives must keep tighter and not
lOoser rein.

Phillips His Pulpit.
The Church OF Christ. at Nassau avenue and

Phillips was In charge. and during the cigh-
teen months that he occupied the pulpit the
mem bership doubled and II prosperous Chris.
tian Endeavor Society was organized among
the young people. Now there is q split in the
congregation. the young folks accusing their
elder brethren OF being jealous OF the pastor.
while the old folks insist that Mr.. Phillips de-
voted too much atten.io to the younger NOM
bers OF his congregation
Tho pa. tor paid no attention to the grum-
hlinCs Of disconte emit unt til II lew weeks ago when
he learned. It Is said. that tho old folks were
trying to freeze him out by putting only PEN
MES on tho collection plate instead Of large
and well filled envelopes. as had been their GUS
tom. The Christian Endeavor Society came to
the pastors aid however. and this seems to
have intensified the bad feeling.
Ten days ago Mr.. Phillips received n letter
from the trustees requesting him to resign
He rendered his resignation at once and on
Sunday night preached his farewell sermon.
The members Of the Christian Endeavor Soc
ciety were so indignant at the action OF tho
trustees that they held meeting. and re-
solved to stand by tho pastor. Yesterday it
WIS said that the society might organize O
new church society.with Mr. Phillips as pastor.

that the fair would be open on Sundays
Hundreds of workingmen in Chicago
have contributed to the fair stock sUh-
scriptiOnS according to their means,
and their wishes should be as
much consulted as those Of

say to the fair authorities: We are will
ing to pay 80 cents each to get into the
exposition on Sundays, and if you do not
let us in on those terms we will go in any
how Let us name the day and hour
when we shall march to the ground and

are not acceded ton Vice President
Pomeroy proposed that o public meeting
be called to discuss the question. This

cided to hold a meeting Wednesday even

whole the crowd was an orderly one. The
men kept their tempers evidently buoyed
by the belief that today was the last

DISTRIBUTING DOCUMENTS.
A Decision Upon a Point Raised by
Representative Blair.

Washington May 21-Assistant Attor-
ney General Hall of the interior depart
ment has made decision upon a point
raised by Representative and ex-senator
H. w. Blair of New Hampshire, which
will be a surprise and disappointment to
members of the Fifty-second congress,
who failed of reelection. L. f. McI[in-
ney, Who has been appointed minister
to the United States of Colombia, was
Blalr's predecessor from the First district
OF New Hampshire, and after the ad-
lournment of the Fifty-second congress
continued to distribute public documents,
the printing of which had been ordered
during or previous to his term of service,
particularly census reports. A few
days ago Mr. Blair called
upon Secretary Hoke Smith and
called attention to the provisions
Of the census law, which says these re-
ports shall be distributed to senators and
representatives. AS one of the latter, he
said, he had succeeded Mckinney, and he
suggested that he was entitled to the
quota allowed the First district of New
hampshire. The Assistant Attorney
General held that the point was well
taken, and that as Blair is now the repre-
sentative from that district he is entitled
10 supervise the distribution of the docu-
mentS
