NOTES OF THE NATIONAL CONGRESS.
Politics the Business That Is Engaging the
Statesmen's Attention.

Washington, April IL. - The house
Saturday did nothing but talk politics.
Simpson tried to obstruct legislation by
demanding a quorum, but a quorum
was present. AS a matter of fact there
was no legislation, and the house ad-
journed to Wednesday after desultory
and uninteresting political talk.
1t developed, however, that the Demo
Gratis were divided as to an attempt
to force the Republicans to take up
financial business, and this division re-
suited in caucus after adjournment
at which resolutions were adopted not
to urge the Republicans to action as
any action of theirs was likely to be
bad. Another resolution was adopted
declaring that the Democrats did not
indorse adjournments for three days at
a time.
The most important feature Of the
day was a meeting of the opposition in
the senate-Democrats, Populists and
silver Republicans - at which 1t was
agreed to demand that in committee
assignments all the places heretofore
held by Democrats, etc, shall again be
assigned to them, Republicans getting
only those they have held. The scheme
will give the combination seventy va
cancies and the Republicans thirty and
leave free silver committee with
free silver majority, which is the prin-
cipal object of the silver men Of all
parties. Republican senator's do not
credit the reported coalition. They
say, however. that Republican sem
ator will be elected from Kentucky this
week and break the deadlock.

Hyndman, the English socialist leader,
has an article in the current issue of JUS
tice, the socialist organ. on the subject of
Indian riots. 1t is full of accusations
against the government, is insulting to the
queen and concludes as follows:
Now. let us say plainly, as Englshmen

would gladly see the villains tried and

world it is justified IN British India today.

Thanks to the work of our forefathcrs

though l have not the slightest doubt they
would gladly do it if they dared. The ma
tives of India are quite right to revolt and
organize for the destruction of their ipfam-
Gus rule, and the sooner their emancipa ton
comes the better every democrat and So
cialist In the country will be pleased. A
copy of this issue of Justice is going to
every native newspaper in India, in order
that the natives may know that an active
section OF Englishmen wish them speedy
deliverance from their oppressors.''

II would seem. therefore. that the Su-

thority under that act to appoint United

cial system of the United States is neces-
sary, and in that connection it NAV be
confidently asserted that the District of
Columbia is no part of any district or cir
cult of the United States.
Section $50 of the Revised Statutes pro-
vides that the United States shall be
divided into judicial districts, as follows
and then follows the naming of all the
states of the Union not including or re-
ferrlng to the District of Columbia which
states, either as entireties or in parts are
designated as districts.
Section 60t of the Revised Statutes pro-
vides that the judicial districts are divided
into nine circuits, follows and then
follows a grouping into circuits of the dis
tricts previously mentioned, describing
each by states; again no reference being
made to the District of Columbia.
IRON these enactments it would seem
beyond doubt that the District of Colum-
bia is not within any judicial circuit or
district of the United States, and such was
judicially determined and declared by Mr.
Justice Cox of the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia in the Guiteau case
In that case that learned justice on the trial
of Guiteau used the following language
q Mackey, 563-565):
1T has been supposed that this case is
provided for by the United States Revised
Statutes, and especially section 49, which
enacts: when any offense against the
United States is begun in one judicial cir
cut anu CoIHpueleU III dnOCneF, snail be
deemed 20 have been committed in either,
and may be dealt with, inquired of, tried,
determined and punished in either district,
in the same manner as if it had been
actually and wholly committed therein"
The statute refers to an offence be-
gun in one judicial circuit and completed
in another, and makes it punishable in
either district. Now, what judicial circuits
and districts of the United States are is
settled by law, and is easily determined.
The whole judicial system of the United
States is mapped out in the Revised Stat
utes.
"'Section $50 declares that 1.-The United
States shall be divided into judicial dis
tricts, as follows" and it then proceeds
to designate by states, and parts of states,
which shall compose each district; and the
District of Columbia has no part in this
arrangement.
Further on, section 6O4 groups all
these districts, again, into nine circuits
to which the District of Columbia is equal
ly stranger.
ut need hardly be observed that the title
District of Columbia represents political
division, and never had any reference TO
the judicial system of the United States.
The original judicial system of the United
States was created for the states in 1888,
before the District of Columbia had sep
arate political existence, and the latter has
