THE BROOELTN U4GISTR4TES COURTS
There have been scandals enough in the mag
istrates' courts in Manhattan, but conditions IN
Brooklyn, to which attention is drawn by the
uttcrauce Of the Committee of One Hundred,
are evidently worse The McCarren influence
Iervades the system over there. One Of his
district leaders, himself convicted in the Nc
Kane case sits on the bench with one Of the
magistrates. apparently 70 see that pull is not
unAvailing. Other McCarren men ornament the
bench, some OF them, according 10 the evidence
taken by the Senate committee investigating
minor criminal courts having a speciality of
making it easy for violators Of the excise law
and others Of making it easy for keepers Of
dsordery resorts. Two or three of these
Brooklyn magistrates had the astonishing habit
of dismissing all charges Of liquor selling In
violation OF the law unless there were put in
evidence chemical analyses Of the stuff sold.
The Senate committee found various other layi-
ties in the administration Of the laws in the
magistrates courts in Brooklyn. Clerks of the
courts, who presumably knew a man with pull
when they saw one, made astonishing errors
in the papers they drew. Prisoners were pa
rolled" for trial at Special Sessions. When they
were wanted for trial they usually could not be
found.
The occasion for calling attention to the stua-
tion is the failure of Mayor Mcclellan to re
appoint Magistrate Steers, one of the best of
the Brooklyn magistrates and his naming Of a
McCarren man to succeed him, an incident with
Il significance similar to that of the removal
of General Bingham. These magistrates courts
are just as important to the politicians as is the
Police Department. From public point of
view il is just as imperative that they be kept
free from politics it is that the police force
should be. It is 10 more fitting that politicians
and district leaders should preside over them
than that they should be at the head Of the
Police Department. With the right sort Of ap-
pointees it is possible to secure excellent results
in these courts such, for example. as have been
obtained under a number of the magistrates in
this city But there have always been on the
bench enough representatives, of Tammany and
McCarren to bring the courts into disrepute
and demoraze the administration of the law
one of the purposes for which the city needs az
andTammany Mayor is to end the scandal in
the police courts 10y the appointment OF proper

her host, and having learned that he
was a family man graciously inquired
how manyychildren he had.

for children Is almost identical in
sound with the Icelandic word for
sheep, Gays Tit Bits, and the worthy

LABORBRS WILL
GET THEIR MONEY
OF TREASURY
MAKES RULING.
North Platte River Irrigation Pro-
ject Trouble Is Settled
ut Last.
RULING WILL AFFECT OTHERS.

Washington, Nov. 25.-People who
have contributed labor or material
towards the completion of the North
Plate reclamation project and have
not yet been paid will get their mon
ey, according to a decision rendered
by the comptroller of the treasury.
In view of the fact that similar con-
ditions to those existing in the North
Platte valley apply also in other To-
calities, this decision Is of consider
able Importance in the western
states.
Persons who wanted to secure
water rights after the government
work was completed on the North
Platte project banded themselves to-
gether in an association called the
North Platte Valley Users associa-
ton. This organization entered into
contract with the United States
representatives by which 1t guaran-
teed the payment by its members of
charges assessed against their lands
for water rights and also promised
to furnish labor and material for the
prosecution of the work. The asso-
citation issued to its members who
furnished this labor and material GER
! tificates to the amount of s33,77S,
of which $12. 500 has been accepted
by the engineer in charge as pay
ments upon water rights. Then ear
ly in December the attorney general
rendered an opinion that the con-
tract between the government and
the association was void and unwar-
ranted.
As there are now outstanding in
the hands of private holders cerifi-
caes to the amount of S2-,453, and
as they represent work and material
ACTUALLY furnished to the reclamation
service, the secretary of the interior
asked the comptroller. in view of the
attorney generals opinion, how he
could discharge the obligations, say,
ing that there was now in the re
clamation treasury enough money tC
pay in cash.
The comptroller, in his decision
says that payments should be made
to the persons who actually did thu
work and that the mere fact that /
person may hold a certificate give
no right to the payment to him o
the amount stated on its face. "1'h'
certificates" he caid. "were intended
TO be sufficient evidence that th'
holder had to perform the service, o.
had paid someone else to perform ii
or had paid the original holder o
such certificates its value. Where
the certificates do not show on thei
face that they have been assigned
they would be prime facie evidenc
that the holder performed the sery
ice or paid someone else to perform
IT for him. The holder of an unas
signed certificate should therefore b
presumed to have performed the ser
vice and the presentation OF this Ger
tificate would be sufficient evidene
of this fact and would entitle him 1

PUSHES CLAIM SUIT OF 1873.

Huge Interest From Wabash.

Toledo, Nov. 25.-A new angle in
litigation, rivaling the case of Jarn-
dyee vs. Jarndyce, was submitted to
the common pleas court here on an
application by a representative OF
Adelbert college of Cleveland and
numerous other claimants for person
al Judgment against the Wabash rail-
road and its predecessor, the Toledo
and Wabash railroad. The case has
been in the court since 1881. These
claims. originally aggregating $500. :
900, but now amounting to half a
dozen times that much with interest
since 1875, are based on the same
issue Of old equipment bonds as the
claim of the estate of James Comp
ton, upon which the United States
circuit court of appeals recently gave
final DEGREES for approximately
$500 900.

Early Christmas shopping.

Far-seelng persons are already en-
gagged in Christmas shopping or are
planning TO begin at once. They in
tend to go about It deliberately. They
are not going to buy because they
feel they must provide presents OF
some kind or character. They intend
to take their time in order to select
something particularly appropriate
for the person to be remembered. II
is a much greater compliment to re
eeive a present that has been selected
with elaboration. One does not like
to think that at the last hour some
body rushed through the stores to
find something or another that would
do" and finally in despaid grabbed
an article and rushed away home or
to the postofIice or express Office
with it. A good deal of the comm p
cialistic spirit of the latter-day
Christmas season may be avoided by
early shopping.
From the standpoint of comfort 1t
is well worth while to buy early. To
struggle with difficulty through a
crowd to reach a counter may put
one in a mood not consistent with
the Christmas season. Then, the
clerks are to be considered as well
as ones own personal convenience.
With Christmas buying distributed
over a few weeks instead of a few
days It is more satisfactory all
around.-Tacoma Ledger.
