JAMES c. COURTS,

James c. Courts, clerk of the appro-

resentatives, has been reappointed by
Chairman Tawney of that committee for
the Sixtieth Congress. This is just as
intelligent and necessary a statement as
would be a mention of the fact that the
sun rose at approximately the usual hour
this morning, for Mr.. Courts is the right

onstrations of the tactic the representa-
tive who drops in once a year to ask
about river and harbor improvement
at Jiggs Creek Ark, is happy to admit
the fact.

generous chivalry that is part of him
but he does not care for floral tributes,
either spoken or written, and this pub

Demand Jury Trials.

Willard Swingle, 1443 FairmOnt street,
and Stratum Blick, Four Corners, Md,
were arraigned in the Police Court this
morning, each charged with the malicious
destruction of trees, and with grand lar
ceny from Fulton r. Gordon, 1894 Mon
roe street several days before Christ
mas. Through counsel the accused men
demanded trials by jury, and were re-
manded to prison. being unable to fur
nish bonds for release.
According to the authorities. the pair
went onto the lawn of Mr.. Gordon, armed
with hatchets and a small ak. and cut
down twenty-nine rare pine and cedar
trees. which they peddled about the neigh
borhood from a wagon, selling them for
80 cents apiece as Christmas trees. The
matter was reported to the tenth precinct.
and Detective Green was assigned to the
case.
Through descriptions of a number OF
the missing trees he located the parties
mentioned and placed them under arrest
yesterday. Several of the destroyed trees,
according to Mr.. Gordon. were of an i'm
ported variety. and valued as sapllngs at

eminent service. to which he simply can
not take exception:
Mr.. Courts is now serving his thirtieth
year in the service of the House appro-
priations committee. having been first ap-
pointed by Representative Atkins Of Ten
nesSee in 1877. Prior to that time Mr..
Courts served two years as secretary to
the committee on revision of the laws. and
before that. at the age of nineteen. he was
enrolling clerk in the Tennessee legisla-
ture. He was a democrat, but has not
voted for a quarter of century, and has
been speedily and joyously reappointed by
every succeeding chairman of the commit
tee, whether democrat or republican. 1t is
very doubtful whether an appropriations
committee chairman would care if Mr..
Courts should announce himself as a
populist. Efficient and cOmprehensively
competent popdlists are just as much in
demand for responsible positions as other
folks.
Mr.. Caurts is one of the highest salaried
employees of the House receiving 81 600 a
year. An evidence of the regard. respect
and esteem in which he is held by the
House. is the fact that he is personally
named in the appropriations bill providing
for his salary. Other House employees
are named merely by title.
There are still many other things that
might be said about Mr.. Courts, includ-
ing a mention of the distinguished reason
he is called Sir John" by certain of his
friends.
