RESULT OF ROW AT THE JAIL
OPINIONS on THE LATE CONTROVERSY
Attorney COnnell UphOlds h Police,
bat Others Complain that h
Remedy Suggested 10 Too Ex-
pensive or 10 Inadequate.

The collision which occurred between Po-
lice Judge Gordon and the city jail oaloials
has revived . scheme that city sdaciafs have
been quietly discussing for some time-a
means Of dsposing Judge Gordon through a
charter amendment. This question will
probably como up for considerable discussion
at some future charter revision committee
meeting.
Regarding tho ARRAY at the Jail. City At
torney Cornell says: I'm my opinion the
police officers were justified In ejecting
Judge Gordon from their jail omces. The
duties Of the police Judge can be very
briefly dennsd-thsy consist In judging Of
the guilt or innocence Of the people whom
the police bring before him. II he finds the
prisoner not guilty, his Jurisdiction ceases
and the police have the right to make a re-
arrest II they desire. They may even re-
arrest on another charge II the defendant Is
released on bond. When the police Judge
takes steps to prevent such rearrests ne
Ii meddling In something that Is none Of his
business. and II In the course OF his inter-
ference he violates one OF the rules Of the
Jail once. tho police may treat him as
they would any private citizen. II the re-
arrested party believes he Is illegally re-
arrested and treated by the police. no has
redress through habsas corpus proceedings
and by bringing action against the police
onicsrs on their bondA."
Other Attorneys Think Differently.
Attorneys who look after the interests
Of the criminals arrested by the police take
exception to this last statement Of the city
attorney. They say adequate redress 10 not
to be secured through either OF the means
mentioned. HAbeas corpus proceedings
involve EXPENSE; and the lawyers also con-
tend that In the big majority Of the cases
the bonds that tho policemen give offer no
satisfaction. Regarding this lattor matter
. city councilman oppressed himself al
follows: IL have been given 10 understand
that tho bonds OF policemen are
worthless and ! think this ought to be rem
edied. believe that q police oncer should
be required 20 give q guaranty company
bond. Public onclsls In other departments
are gradually being compelled to sive such
bonds and II seems to me that It would be
q good plan to extend the system to police
men. The ofncers knowing that the ar
rested parties could recover on their bonds
would be more careful about arresting peo-
pie"
Chief Of Police White supports Acting
Captain Her. He says: I'VE can never
rid the city OF bad characters a. long N
Judge Gordon persists In the position ne
has taken. A notorious character IL ar
rested and 10 Immediately released on bond.

quest for . continuance from Q police ofhcsr.

Another suit to set aside paving assess
ments has been started In the district court.
The plaintiffs are Elias r. Grilsths and
several other property owners In Bedford
place. They complain that the assessment
for the paving Of Lalk street district 279)
was illegal for the reason that many Of the
signatures to the petition were OF persons
not owning property affected In any way.
The ordinance was passed In February,
1891. II provided for paving the street with
Galesburg brick. and the aggregate cost was
estimated at $8,433.4 40.

In connection with this opinion tho city
attorney says: There may be some din

state law without conflict. but in law there

atoms regarding franchises sets out that no
franchise rights should be granted to O
corp>ratlon without submitting the question

EPIDErlIC CHECKED.
No Tlore New Cases of Diphtheria--
Schools Reopened Tuesday.

So many precansions have been
taken against the spead of diphtheria
that no new cases has developed
during the past week. The cases re-
ported last week and previously are
now recovered or nearly SO and it
seems that the danger from any
further spread of the disease is past.
Among the pre- ansions taken have
been the strict quarantine of the
diphtheria patients, the closing of the
public and Sunday schools, the isola-
tion of the children as much as
possible, the fumigating of the public
school buildings and the books and
the public library books. Those
having the matter in charge deserve
much praise for the careful carrying
out of these preventation measures.

1t il a melancholy reflection, that al
the next session OF the U. S. Senate
which will commence, March 4th.,
coming, there will be but two Demo
cratic senators from the North. OF
the Southern States, Maryland and
West Virginia will be represented by
two Republicans, and Delaware, North
Carolina and Kentucky by one each.
The full membership"will consist Of
fifty three republicans as compared
with thirty seven Democrats and Popu-
lists. The radicals have since the days
Of reconstruction, harpea upon the VIC
iousness Of a solid South. but now
they gloat over the turn in the politi-
cal die which gives them a solid North.

The capricious tendency Of money is
seen in the demand for greenbacks in
exchange for gold. The sub>treasuries
in commercial centres are daily be-
sieged for change in bills Of all de-
nominations, in exchange for gold.
Business men and traders generally,
prefer:the paper money to gold, des-
pite all efforts to keep the gold in
circulation. The only explanation that
appears plausible for this abnormal
condition is, that paper is more con-
venient to handle. Getting rid OF gold
by paying it out is now not a question
Of policy, but one of necessity, when
about $3.50 600 900 of the money in the
