JURISDICTION OF JUSTICES.
Point Comes Up Again in the Court
of ADpealS


of Appeals.
Tie question as to the jurisdiction Of
justices of the peace or the District WAS
argued yesterday before the court of ap-
pcals. The District supreme court, by Judge
Cox, and more recently by Judge Bradley,
has held that the justices could not grant
tile constitutional common law jury Jial
because Of their inability to either instrGct
tile jury or set aside its verdict.
In one of these cases, an appeal by
Charles Hof from Judge Cox's decision
supporting the contention of the Capital
Traction Company, the question as TO the
Common law jury trial was fully discussed.
Col. Enoch Totten argued the case for the
railroad and declared that the trial be-
fore the justice was not the jury trial
provided for by the Constitution.
ID. W. Baker, for Mr.. Hof claimed that
the justice OF the peace has full power to
try a case with jury and cited as au-
thority the act of Congress comforting juris-
dlctlon on the magistrates.
the other case involved the same ques-
ton as to the power Of justices of the
peace. 1t was the suit Of the Brightwood
Railway Company, appellant, against JUS
tice O'Neil, which went up ON an appeal
from the lower courts decision dismissing
a petition praying for writ OF mandamus
to compel the magistrate to approve a GER
tain appeal bond in damage suit.
Justice O'Neil refused to approve the
bond, saying he was without Jurisdiction
because uf no appeal from the Judgment
OF a justice rendered on a verdict of a
jury. Michael j. Colbert represented JUS
ice O'Nen.
1t is certain the cases will go to the
Supreme Court of the United States for
final decision.

They are having all sort of fun
with the Republican-pop party in
Louisiana. We always heard a
mixture of negro and white man
made a bad combination and the
fuss this gentry is kicking up in
Louisiana proves the correctness OF
the assertion. A white man who
will Join issues with the negro
race for an office is not very much
pumpkins anyway you take him.
We are not surprised at town politi-
clans IN going off after the negro for
office, but we are surprised at the
country people the peoples party
joining the gang and helping them
into place. Louisiana is now in WI r
on this account and perhaps before
it is over there will be hundreds of
negroes killed. We say let the
negro alone politically and he will
let the ballot box alone. He has
long ago find out that the white
man is not going to let him hold
office and he would not NEEDLE into
elections if he was not importuned
to do so by white men backed with
Doodle.
