The Buttinskied Judge.

A Washington despatch in yesterdays
Sun ringed with ROSY light Prof. HENRY
PARKER WILLIS, the student OF con-
dtions" in the Philippines, whose wild
imagnings about them were solemnly
quoted by Judge PARKER in his homily
dated Oct. Is. Oct. 2S the Judge again
brought forward the professor, five anti
imperialists vouching for his skill as a
trained investigator, his judgment in
weighing evidence and his reliability
as a witness.
According to Prof. WILLIS. solemnly
quoted and sustained by Judge PARKER,
the officials in the Philippines are ineffi-
cient or corrupt, "the very dregs of our
people; the country ruined agricul-
turally; tho population i'll fed and over
taxed; disease prevalent; whole dis
tricts in the hands of ladrones; public
opinion stiAed; newspapers bought or
bulldozed; plays censured; private life
subject to "a complete, far-reaching
system of espionage.
Governor LUKE WRIGHT denied all
these discoveries categorically. Oct. rs
Judge PARKER patted the professor on
the back and asked, Which is likely to
be prejudiced, the man having no mo-
tive but to learn the truth or the Cover
nor?"
Our Washington dispatches show the
Judges star witness as a Was hington
correspondent who made himself a
laughing stock by his gullibility and his
meddlesomeness. He investigated the
press galleries of Congress, TO their last
ing joy brought unfounded charges
against the statistician of the Agrcul-
tural Department, and was a redhot
anti-imperialist. AS an investigator, he
was a joke. Fly-gobbling and mares
nests were his specially.
This ha sty and impulsive young anti
imperiaist is described hv our Wash
ington correspondent as "BUTTINsKI,'
the "man who finds someth' e wrong
in everybody who does not accept his
views" Such, it appears, is the reputa-
ton of Prof WILLIS in Washington,
even among the Parkertes.
BuTTINsKI against LUKE WRIGHT; and
Judge PARKER prefers BUTTINSKI.
What other BrTTINsK1s have been
"stuffing" the Judge? He has copous
and unfailing stores of transformation on
public affairs. What BUTTINsKI buttin
sked the Judge about the cost of the
Philippines and the number of lives
sacrificed there? What BUTTINsKI told
him that despotc Administration was
hiding the Treasury receipts and ex-
penditures from the people? What
Crokerian RvTTINsKI made him believe
that the small dealer and manufacturer
are being driven out of business?
The Judge is handsome, but the ease
with which he is buttinskied shows that.
compared with his other knobs, his
bump of credulity must be Mount
Mckinley.
