The Eagle animated it's belief, the
ether day that very big per cent OF
all the senators and congressman the
past hundred years had been guilty OF
the for which Burton the first to be convicted
the penalty for which is both fine and the penitentary
Of course these senators and representatives did not all
receive money for service They otener paid
in political pulls But after all wherein should be more
criminal United States senator or congressman TO
appear advocate for client friend before de-
parment than attorney before the supreme bench
In such it is their political prestige which clothes
them with influence. Many of the most prominent mem
bers of United found pleading the
cases Of clients in United States supreme and other
courts There seems to be distinction without differ
ence Burton caught under the distinction phase
of the thing That plain enough The Eagle has never

against his whole crowd been opposed to the per
sonnet of their combine and their methods violently
but in a way has not been misunderstood by him. by
his friends by readers. We have been more fair
towards them considerate of their ambitions
than they have been towards the whom they have
been wont to designate the machine" Admitting
that Burton is guilty charged his conviction should
have been regular and without prejudice Dragoonng
hung jury WON'T down with the average American
even where crime has been committed There is
always plenty of time for trial Burtons crime was
more violation CT the letter than of the spirit of the
law and spirit should have been injected into
the case by the prosecution much less by the presiding
Judge.
All this is intended in any sense defense OF
Burton yet plea in exemption for the unprose-
continuity guilty of Burtons oense for strong

public service of political rectitude and Of duty.
We say it because of the impression that Burton's
downfall involving his humiliation ignominy and life
cution mixed up with the prosecution This man. whom
have believed be unequal to standing for a state
in probably the most august assembage ever assembled
men, himself after the termination OF the trial makes
to friend evidently sincere declaration that f all

bold and startling affirmation made durance, and

his enemies So as there is come whether the

it would have the honor of fighting for
its Emperor, the fatherland and the
fame Of the Russian army, and ex-
pressing his sincere wishes for the regi-
ment, with a prayer that God might
bless its standards.
The papers recall a similar message
sent by the Emperor to regiment of
British dragons, of which he was hon
orary colonel, before it's departure for
South Africa during the Boer war, and
point to the fact that his Majesty at
the spring parade at Potsdam ex-
pressed TO the Japanese military at
tache his admiration for the bravery of
the japanese troops. They say that the
message was purely a courtly and mill
tary one from a soldiers point of view,
With greatest honor to the regiment to
be sent to the front. The concluding
prayer was merely for the welfare of
the soldiers, and the expression OF sin
cere wishes was only desire that they
should add to their laurels as a regi-
ment
The opposition papers content them
selves by saying that the zeal of the
semi official press doubtless is due to
the impression created by the EN-
peror's telegram declaring that Rus
sian mourning would be German
mourning.

Taft Strong Man of Class.

When Secretary Taft and Represent
ative Fowler Of New Jersey, come to-
gether they are as cordial as brothers.
Almost twenty wears ago they were
fellow-students at Yafe. To Mr.. Fow-
Ter Judge Taft is plain Billy" and to
Judge Taft Mr.. Fowler is Doc" that
having been his nickname in college.
AS a college boy Judge Taft was the
bully" of his class, which meant that
he was the strongest man and stood up
at the front in the class rush. He was
a freshman when Fowler was a junior.
The New Jersey Congressman, almost
as stalwart a physical specimen as the
present Secretary of War. was like
wise a strong man in his class. The
two saw some vigorous tests OF
strength in their college days, but that
has only increased their mutual regard.
