1T Is JUSTICE WHITE.

The appointment Of Senator White, OF
preme Bench reflects Mr.. Cleveland's per-
sonal characteristics as clearly as did those
OF Hornblower and Peckham. Having been
defeated in two nominations from New
York, he suddenly changes front. and. in
evident anger, goes as far from New York
as possible TO find a man, and in order TO
the traditions of the Senate by nominating
a member of the body, thus insuring his
confirmation without even reference TO a
committee. While there is nothing in the
Constitution or avs requiring the appoint
ment to be made from the Second judicial
circuit, which Justice Blatchford represent
ed, there was no reason for going outside
of the circuit except the Presidents pique,
but that, as the event shows. has proved
controlling.
The appointment may be a good one, but
country at frs. sight. Senator White has
never been heard of as a lawyer outside of
louisiana, and 1t Is not known that he
stands at the head Of the bar in that State.
He has served as a Judge of the Supreme
Court of the State by appointment, but as
all appointments In that State. for many
years past, have been practically dictated
by the Louisiana lottery, Mr.. Whites ju-
dicial service is no guarantee of his profess
sional or personal character. He may be
above reproach in both respects, but 1t
remains to be seen. Had he not been a men,
Der o. the Senate there would doubtless
have been a rigid inquiry into his record
and fitness, but that hoary humbug, 1.-The
courtesy of the Senate" insured his prompt
confirmation. Judge White was educated at
the Jesuit College. in New Orleans. and at
Georgetown College, District of Columbia,
and served in the confederate army.

A DEED.


HOUSTON, Tex, Feb. 19.-Tc-night at 10
O'Clock there was committee in the Grand
Central Depot one of the most horrible
crimes in the history Of Texas. James
Mitchell, of Richmond Fcrt Bend county.
a man long known for a desperate charac-
ter. shot 10 death three men, one little
child, and wounded a woman. Mitchell had
been in the city all day, and
had imbibed more or less in
toxicants. and when he went TO the
depot was presumably in a fighting mood.
No one knows exactly how the quarrel
started between the desperate and the men
to whom 1t resulted SO fatally. together
with the innocent child and woman. who
had no part in the quarrel at all. AS near
as can be learned. however. the men. or
some of them. not knowing the desperate
character Of Mitchell. attempted TO emon-
strate with him for boisterous and ungen-
tlemanly conduct in the station. and that he
resented the remonstrance, and not only
became abusive, but threatening. Then he
whipped out his revolver and shot at ev-
erybody in sight. with the above result.

THE UNEMPLOYED VS.. THE Va


In European cities. and particularly in
England, the condition OF lack of employ
ment for those who would work is chronic.
1t has existed a long time, and there is
no ground for hope OF better things. In
this country the trouble is acute. If Brit
ish conditions come to us, If we transfer
our employment to Europe by Wilson bills,
the lack of employment may become
chronic here. One of the dangers at the
present time is that an acute trouble may
be made chronic by unwise attempts to
provide a remedy.
The most common remedy suggested is
employment on public works. If cities have
such works upon which labor can be ex-
pended to advantage such method OF en-
ployment, If most carefully administered
has much 10 commend it. Nevertheless. it
has disadvantages and dangers. The chief
danger is that the employment OF much
common labor IN public works will ac-
cumulate a body OF people who will be idle
and in want whenever public works at the
public expense are not going on. Outside Of

TRIAL OF ANARCHISTS.

to the city for employment, many OF whom
are simply Migrants. Just now Chicago is
suffering from the evil OF having many
millions spent In public works during the
past three years. The bona fide searchers
for employment are now involved IN the
same catastrophe with the aimless wander
ers who were attracted to that city during
the building period.
Any city which undertakes to care for
its genuine unemployed who are in need
because they have lost their employment
must take measures to guard against the
recruiting of the number of outsiders who
will naturally seek labor where it can be
found-a thing which would, in time, make
the evil which is intended to be overcome
much greater than at first. Equally i'm
portant is 1t to distinguish between those
who are in need because they have lost
their employment by the Industrial depres-
sion and those habitual relief-seekers who
are always ready to accept aims and will
not toll when bread can be obtained by
other means. There Is a wide distinction
between the two classes-the self-support-
ing ~workingman Shen he has employment
and who would scorn aims is entitled to
respect, while the weak and the indolent,
ed as a person who is willing to be a
pauper, and will be such as long as he may
be permitted to be.
In a city like indianapolis 1t would be
possible to separate these two classes and
to accord them very different treatment.
The unemployed who have been stranded
because the usual avenues of employment
are closed. and who, if given public en-
ployment with the understanding that II
Is temporary. will seek private employ
ment and will get it as soon as 1t can be
the city has wages to pay. The other class,
the idle and laggards, should be given re-
lief work, continuous, hard, and paid in
the necessaries of life, not SO much as
punishment as to deter the same element
all over the country from drifting hither.
No city can afford the distinction of being
the paradise Of the Migrants, loafers and
the spiritless. The city which should give
indiscriminate employment "1n public
works would surely draw to 1t an army
of the vicious and vagrant which come to
us by ship-loads, and who are as distinct
from the genuine worker as from the INTEL
ligent and prosperous.
