The presidential electors selected at
the national election on November 8,
met at Tallahassee on Monday and
cast the vote of Florida for Parker
and Davis. Hon. T. A. Jennings, of
this city. being selected to convey the
ballots to Washington. where the en-
tire electoral vote will be canvassed
by congress on February 8.
The action Of the Florida electors
in thus honoring Mr.. Jennings by Sc
lecting him to perform this important
duty is in line with a suggestion made
by The Journal shortly after the cleo
ton last fall. The journal is glad to
know that the views it expressed at
that time are shared by the honorable
electors of the state, and is also graft
fed that so great an honor should fall
upon such worthy shoulders.

FEDERAL JUDGES
AND THEIR EXPENSES.

Since the impeachment proceedings
were instituted against Judge Charles
Swayne a great deal of interest has
been evinced all over the country in
the possible outcome of the case. Now
that the charges have narrowed down
TO the question of expenses the inter
est is, if anything, greater than before
because of the possibility of similar
charges being preferred against other
federal judges who. it is alleged, have
made a practice of charging up the
maximum amount allowed, SO per
day, whether actual expenses. reached
that figure or not. In this connection
the Atlanta Constitution says.
In view of Secretary Shaw's tabular
showing that a number of federal
judges are in the habit of charging the
full limit of SO per day to cover ex-
penses when on duty outside their
districts. it may be well to again call
attention to the difference between
many such cases and that of Judge
Swayne, of Florida.
II is the theory back of all expense
allowances that an official of the gov
eminent and especially a federal
judge, is entitled to enjoy just as good
accommodations when of performing
service for the government as he en-
joys at his home. The judge who is
assigned for service in a large city,
70 illustrate. should take the best
al 10 ha
eminent expects that he will. The
government is ready to pay all the
expenses involved, but as in all other
cases a maximum limit is fixed.
The judge who takes such accom-
modations and whose legitimate ex-
penses reach $40 a day, as they GER
tainly do in many such cases, is en-
titled to the maximum limit and is
certainly doing nothing improper in
making the charge. A Judge would
doubtless be within the provisions of
the law if he we're TO take very elab-
crate hotel accommodatiOns-far bet
ter. If that is possible, than he enjoys
at his home.
But in the Swayne case it is shown
that he charged the full $40 4 dav at
a time when he was paying out for
his actual expenses very much less
in one instance, as we recall it, only
$1.25 a day. The house committee
found that with Judge Swayne it was
simply a case of doing" the govern
ment out of the difference, which is a
crime and nothing else.
II is not for a minute to be assumed
because a number of other judges
have been found charging the maxi
mum expense allowance that these
have been improper charges, or that,
as has been insinuated, other impeach-
ments are TO follow If it can be
found that these judges, or any of
them. have been using this expense
allowance as a means 70 an increase
of personal revenue as is shown in
the Swayne case, such q Judge will
be called TO account.
II is well to keep in mind the exact
nature of the crime of which Judge
Swayne is accused. There is no GOOD
ground for the suspicion that other
Judges have been guilty of such petty
thievery, even if these judges have
been in the habit of charging maxi.
mum expense bills.

Gilehrist For Speaker.

The announcement of Hon. A. w.
Gtlchrist that he will be a candidate
for the speakership of the next house
meets with general favor. General
Gilchrist has for years been one of
the most active and spirited workers
in the field of politics and business
in the state. His official career as a
legislator has been aggressive and
spirited and marked by an unwavering
adherence to his principles. If he has
at times gone to extremes and criti-
cised unreservedly certain measures
it has always been in opposition to
what he believed to be inimical to the
interests of the people of the state
There is no man in the state better
equipped for the performance of the
duties of the speakership. His admin
istration will be signally marked by
absolute fearlessness. a keen sense of
justice and the highest ideals o. fair
ness and impartiality. General Gil
christ is worthy of the position and
title him to it-Dade City Democrat.

New-York tribune., 1905-11-19

TINE wefl-knOwn animal trainer Frank c.
Bostock not long ago owned two birds,
a cOckatOo and macaw, which struck
up a wonderful affection for each other. That
the love took deeper hold on the cockatOO,
which was female, circumstances afterward
seemed to prove.
The lovers had perches close together.
The maCaw incessant talker, and
the cockatoo an equally good listener; hence
there were no family jars The macaw found
his delight in preening his gaudy plumage
before his affectionate companion, and in
telling her that he was 1T" when it came
to the macaw family; all of which the gentle
cockatoo seemed to believe and delight in;
for she clearly enamoured of the gaudy
''wesket" of her associate.
But the exigencies of business separated the
1ovesick pair, the macaw being sent to Detroit,
while the Cockatoo remained in Cleveland.
The faithful female lost her appetite, the
daintiest titb1ts she had ever known failing
to tempt her. She literally, to all appearances,
was dying slowly of broken heart.
One day Mr.. Bostock had the cockatoo in
his arms, in his office, when the long-distance
telephone bell rang, and he soon was talking
with his representative in Detroit
