After citing the law showing that the
federal court had no jurisdiction in such
cases, he reviewed the Goebcl election
law as the most Infamous statute that
had ever come before the attention Of
court, and also denounced in very Wig
orous terms the conditions that have
existed in Kentucky, and that are cited
in the bill Of facts. But he held that
it was merely matter of law with the
court, Notwithstanding the outrages
that are alleged in the undisputed
statement of the facts of the petition
ers. There was an immense crowd in
the federal building awaiting the de-
cision of the court.

AIUDICIAL FARCE.
1900.

Judge T. d. Foster came up
here last Saturday to try the mem
damus case of the majority OF the
members of the council versus
Mayor II. p. Fournet, and after
going over the case, and hearing
the arguments of the attorneys.
the Judge rendered decision, in
favor of the councilmen, which is
exactly the manner the Messenger
has interpreted the charter and
we believe the decision is perfect
ly correct.
But Judge Foster has made q
serious blunder that has placed
him in a peculiar position, and
caused abusive criticism to be
heaped upon his head by both fac
tions interested in this case.
It appears that just as soon as
the Judge descended the bench he
told the friends of the councilmen
that he had decided the case upon
its merits, and that his decision
would be maintained by the high
or court; but, strange as it may
seem, a few minutes later the
Judge was at the store of Mayor
Fouruet and there told the Mayor
that he had rendered that deci'
sion under pressure and that b
was not sure he was right advised
the Mayor to appeal the case t.
the Circuit court, and even told
him be Foster would stand for tht
cost IL the decision of the higher
court was against him.
The Messenger has not heard
these expressions from Judge Eos
ter himself, but We have heart
them repeated by nearly the whole
town, and the comment of the ps
bile is certainly not compliments
~ to one who is clothed with tn
Judicial ermine.
Judge Foster has made q -seri
Gus mistake if the above public
report is correct, and until it \
denied by the Judge, we must &C.
cept the rumor as being correct
