TWO KINDS OF JUSTICE.

In the United States circuit court in New York, the other day. a Greek i'm porter of figs. who was suffering from tuberculosis, was sentenced to three months in the penitentiary for customs frauds amounting to s2.5O0. and imme- diately thereafter the same court i'm posed a fine of s25.0O0 upon a wealthy Importer of silks who had pleaded guilty to customs frauds amounting to sl,4OO.O00 District Attorney Wise. who prosecuted both cases. made a vehe- ment plea for sentence of imprison- ment on the wealthy importer. but the court denied him. The s25.OO0 fine meant absolutely nothing to the man who had to pay it It did not represent a fraction of the Illegal profits he has made by defraudlng the government On the other hand. the three months imprisonment may cost the life of the small offender
 Justice is proverbially blind. but it is hard to see how any court could be so blind to the ends of law and to the equities of these cases. as to impose such sentences

It would be grand. and productive of much good to the republican party if a rule something like the following could he enforced.
 Any person holding government position or a member of a political or ganization who shall be found guilty of making an appointment to office Of any person or persons who have not previously proved by actual demon stration they are worthy and we'll qual- flied. politically speaking. they shall upon proof. be forthwith discharge. or removed from the committee as the case may be"
