THE CARTER CASE AND THE CAB
met.

1t seems the President and his cabi-
net became somewhat uneasy when
they read the statement in the dis
patches that an agreement had been
entered into between the governments
lawyers and the lawyers of former
Capt Carter by which the entire Car
ter case was to be reopened on the
civil side of a United States court in
Chicago, in a proceeding begun by the
government against Mr.. Carriers uncle
and brothers for the possession of per-
sonal property belonging to Mr.. Car
ter, and alleged to have been obtained
from the government fraudulently, and
that Capt. Carter was to be given an
opportunity to show that the military
court which had pronounced him guilty
had erred. The Attorney General I'M
dertook to show that there was no
cause for uneasiness. He is quoted as
having said that Mr.. Carter was not
to be tried again, this time in a civil
court, but that the question of his
conviction by a military court would
be raised in the suit that had been
begun to recover from his relatives
money alleged to have been stolen from
the government.
There is, of course, some ground for
the uneasiness of the administration.
The newspapers will take keen in
terest in the Chicago suit. If the gov
eminent should fail to show that it
was entitled to the money it claims
a presumption of Mr.. Carriers limo
cence would be raised. In that event
it would be difficult to convict the con-
tractors who are indicted with Mr..
Carter, and the pressure for the lat
ter's pardon might be so great that the
President would be embarrassed by it.
Notwithstanding the assurances CIV
en- by the Attorney General there is
a possibility that the Carter case,
however carefully it may be handled
in Chicago. may give the administra
ton trouble before it is finally dis
posed of.

A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

In the opinion of Justice Jerome,
who was elected district attorney of
New York last Tuesday, the fusion
victory in that city was a long step
toward eliminating partisan politics
from municipal campaigns. He had
reference of course only to New York
city, but there are reasons for think
ing that what is true of that city in
this matter is true of other cities.
Mr.. Jerome is a Democrat, but he
was a candidate on the fusion ticket.
His support was mainly Republican.
He made a campaign that was SO re-
markable that it attracted the atten-
ton of the entire country, and the
prediction is made by New York pa
pers that If he does not permit his
success TO turn his head, and fulfills
expectations entertained in regard 10
him in the high office to which he has
been chosen. he will have a great po-
litical career. provided he lives and
has his health.
In conducting his campaign he did
not appeal TO either Republicans or
Democrats for assistance. He assail-
ed all whom he thought were breaking
the, law or who were filling their pock-
cts az the expense OF the public, His
platform consisted OF a promise 10 en-
force the law and 20 prosecute rich
offenders As vigorously az those who

An Austin man who met one of his
acquaintances at lunch the other day
said, according to the Chicago Times
Herald:
Il saw your wife yesterday, Parker.
She looked terribly worried What's
the matter? None of the children sick,
I hope"
"Oh, no. It's the servant girl ques-
ton We had a girl that, by George,
didn't seem to have any more idea of
the way things ought to be done in a
kitchen than a brindle cat has of alge-
bra. She would serve the coffee in the
teapot and set the cream in the oven
to keep it from getting sour. She would
give us doughnuts that we couldn't eat
and order the grocery boy to bring
cookies for her own use. AS for break
ing things, heavensi We had to get
new set of dishes every two weeks, and
one evening when I took a friend of
mine out home to dinner we were right
in the middle of the meal when she
came in, with her sleeves rolled up, to
tell us that she had found a mouse
drowned in the milk pitcher. Oh, she
was a lovely onel 1t didn't do any
good to tell her things because she kept
right on in her own way just the same.
well, my wife finally gave up and
told her to go. Then we had a streak
of luck. We found another cook right
off, and, say, l never saw anything like
her. She can't find enough things to do
In addition to giving us the best meals
we ever had, she washes the windows
and scrubs the steps. and blamed if
didn't go home the other evening and
find her raking up the leaves in the
yard. She's a wonder. That girls worth
SIS a week and we get her for four"
And she's going to leave you, is
she?''
"Leave2 Not that / know Of She
told my wife the other day that she
hoped she could stay with US as long
as we kept house, because she never
felt so much at home anywhere else"
But what has all this to do with
Mrs. Parker's worried look that
spoke of"
That's just It, My wife says there
must be something the matter with
the girl or she wouldn't work the way
she does and stay in at night without
asking for the privilege of having
company in the house. Unless the girl
develops a disagreeable trait of some
kind before the beginning of next week
she's to be discharged on suspicion"
