THE PEONAGE CASE.

! On Wednesday, United States Judge
Jones. sitting at Montgomery. Ala. dis
charged the jury that failed to convict
one Turner in peonage case. He up
braided the jury for ignoring his instruc-
lions, and said everybody in and out of
Alabama will know that the law was
not enforced, and for no other reason
than "the base one that the defendant is
white man, and the victim of the law
he violated Is negro boy"
The Judge hoped that the time would
rever come when the jurSmen, helpless
and distressed and the victims of oppres-
sion, would be denied that protection Of
law which they had refused to the victim
III this case.
II is not Of record what the jurymen
thought of the Judges reprimand, but
we daresay they dislked It very much,
and It may be presumed that they are
not wholly without defense as to their
course. We do not know the details of
the case, but It Is conceivable that there
was an honest difference Of opinion be-
tween the judge and jury. If they could
rot conscientiously find the verdict that
the Judge wanted them to find. nothing
was left. for them to do but to acquit
the prisoner, or to fail to agree. The
latter course is the one they adopted.
Judge Jones we believe was appointed
to his present Office by President Roose-
velt He comes Of q Pittsylvania, Va.
family, we believe. and has been life
long Democrat. In the Bryan-McKinley
campaign he co-operated with the gold
Democrats
we do not find his ability or purity Of
purpose questioned anywhere, but many
of the Alabama papers incline to the
opinion that he has been overzealous In
these "peonage prosecutions" and that
he has overstepped conservative bounds.
Mr.. Jones qualifications for the judge
ship were first brought to the attention
of the President by Booker Washington,
We believe.
