COY. JONES ANGRY.

The Mobile Evening News takes the following view of the Randolph bond compromise:
 "Ex-Gov. Jones is very angry because the State Herald. in what he character izes as an inspired article" criticised his and ex-Gov. Oates indulgence of Randolph the fugitive eX-probate judge of Montgomery county, in permitting him to retain office when they knew that he was d defaulter, as well as an habitual drunkard. That was one of the most remarkable cases of audacious official collision to shield a confessed criminal that we can recall. Ex-Gov. Jones told a representative of the Advertiser that he had read the State Herald's article; that the arraignment Of himself and ex Gov. Oates by Gov. Johnston and those associated with him in the compromise of the Randolph dedication was quite a surprise to the public. No doubt the facts which were revealed surprised that part of the public which had rot known the history of the case, but nobody ought to have been surprised at their publica- tion. The ex-governor had very weak case and made very feeble defense. He says that Auditor Purifoy made an official report of Randolph's misdoings three or four weeks before MT. Oates was inaugurated but that none of us knew or believed that the shortage was due to any pecuniary dishonesty" Yet he &C., hEOWltuStS lndl It kueW Widt liic dpllo of Randolph were. At the time. he be- lieyed that the judges shortage was due to indulgence for license moneys during the hard year of the panic and the year preceding and loose bookkeeping" The bondsmen desired that the judge be given. an opportunity to make good the short- age by pledging to money lenders future fees of the office. because impeachment proceedings would cause a loss to the sureties and the state. The judge was given time to straighten the affairs of his office. The ex-governor said to the Advertiser man that "the object of im- peachment is to ensure collection of the revenue, not to punish crime" How ever this may be, his failure to Institute impeachment proceedings against Ran dolph certainly protected a criminal and enabled him to commit. further crimes and deprived the state of it's ability to collect revenue. The ex-governor ad- mitted this when he said: ''It is easy after the event to state what should have been done The defaulting judge paid up his shortage at the time promised Gov. Oates It turned out that he did so by absorbing other revenues for that purpose" af}7 -ts.

Tom Reed has again asserted his claim to the proud but melancholy title of the czar The dictatorial manner in which he silenced MT. Lewis was a caution. MT. Lewis oontenied that question referring to cheforefgn policEsAof the United States was privileged. If .his is not privileged question it should be. for foreign compA- cations may iIvolve war. MT. Simpson scored a point when he sarcastically re- forred to a committee on rules. In a pre- vious congress a committee on rules was appointed. It was supposed that this commtstee would rob the speaker of some of his power and expedite business. But not so. A majority of the committee is With the speaker and does his bidding. When the committee reports special order it is a the instance of the speaker.
