JUSTICES AND WITNESSES FEES.
A Claim that Peac' Justices and Witnesses
Are Unfairly Treated in the Laws.
, the editor OF tho Innlananolis Iourna,.

To the Editor or tho indianapolis Journal:
is not Section 1918, of the Revised Stat
utes of 1851. unconstitutional This section
says the prosecuting attorneys informa-
ton Of criminals shall be based upon the
affidavit of some competent and reputable
person. The prosecuting attorney looks
the papers over that the justice of the peace
files with the clerk when criminal has
been bound over. He then makes o good
and correct affidavit, and has the affant
testify to and sign it before the grand jury.
His information is based on this affidavit
only. When the prisoner receives a SEN
tence of fine and costs, his attorney looks
the papers over, but finds no papers and
no costs of the justice mentioned in the in
formation, then he asks that no such
costs be allowed; therefore all such
provide for the costs of Justices examina-
ton. Sec. 6555 says the Justice shall have
pay for every warrant issued. Sec. 1888
says the constable shall have the same fees
for handling the prisoner as the sheriff for
like services. leleheart Gays in his treatise
that justices should send mp the costs the
same as In civil cases. yet Sec. 1878 cuts
OFT all costs. The first words of the Consti.
tuition are: we declare that ali men are
created equal" The Goth section of the
Constitution says: mo mans particular
service shall be demanded without Just
compensation" Would not it bring US
more on an eanality if Sec. 1878 were
amended so as to speak of the transcript
from the justice of the peace and his wit
nesses. so that the prosecuting attorney can
base his information upon the affidavit and

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The opponents of

o'clock this afternoon the Senate went

ton on the part of the Repu blican Senators

before adjournment The case was in
charge of Senator Mitchell, Of Oregon,
who, in behalf of the judiciary committee,
moved that the nomination be confirmed.
The opposition. however, desired to be
heard, and was heard at length. More than
four hours were consumed In the debate.
The opposition to the nominee in the
Senate was based almost entirely upon the
ground that MIR. McCOmas was not resi-
dent of the District. The Republicans re-
piled to the Democrats on this point, by
referring to the precedent established by
MIR. Cleveland in his District and terrific
rial appointments, and asserted that Mr..
Cleveland might feel disposed to again
ignore his party's platform declarations in
that respect and select the best-fitted men
for federal appointments regardless of res
idence. When il came To vote there was
no attempt to tilIbuster. and the result was
decisive. The vote standing "a for coniirma-

An Unexpected Bath.

Divide Musin, the violinist, was the
victim of an odd accident recently.
His concert company was about to be-
gin an evening entertainment at a
Baptist church, and Mr.. Musin, ar
rayed in faultless evening dress,
thought he would view the audience
without being seen. To accomplish
his purpose he stepped behind cur
tain which hung a. the back of the
platform. There was a splash, and the
violinist found himself in three feet OF
water. He emerged very wet and
angry man. Mr.. Musin had mad
vertently stepped into the baptismal
font. 1t was after eight o'clock and
the concert had begun. A young man
came to the violinist's rescue, how
ever, and said he would provide Mr..
Musin with a dry outfit. But it was
half an hour before he did, and Mr..
Musin was several minutes late max
ing his appearance. The new trousers
fitted him rather awkwardly, and he
was not in a pleasant frame of mind,
but he got through with his part of the
programme, and the audience is prob
ably still ignorant of the fact that he
had fallen into the font.-London
