Suit Dismissed.

The Oreaonian says: sit has been agreed
between the parties to the suit of w. J.
White VS.. C. L. Spore and all the officers of
the city of East Portland, in which the plain
tiff claims damages for falling through the
L street elevated roadway while it was being
rebuilt, to dismiss the case without prejudice
and this will undoubtedly be done. One Of
the reasons for this is understood that the
plaintiff is a resident Of Montana and that
therefore the United States court does not
have jurisdiction. The case will probably
be brought up again in the State circuit
court. ''Why is it that the U. S. court has
no jurisdiction i'll this matters" asked an Or
egonian reporter of Judge Deady. 81 only
know what have seen of the case in the pa
pers," answered the judge, "but if the plain
tiff is a resident of Montana the court has no
jurisdiction. This is an old decision of Chief
Justice Marshall, {. long time ago, The case
first arose in the District,of Columbia, which
it was decided was not State within the
meaning of the law. The litigation may be
between citizens of two States, or between a
citizen of State and a foreigner, but the
citizen of territory must have recourse to
the State courts. The decision in regard to
the District of Columbia was held to apply
to territories, and /, myself have so ruled.
Inasmuch as a territory eventually becomes
State, think this ruling should be changed
by the U. S. supreme court.

Sullivan Knocked Out IN One Round.

A large crowd assembled at the Mad
ison square garden on the night of The
30th, to witness a set-to between Sulli-
van and Mitchell. When all was ex-
pectation Sullivan leaned over the
ropes and in voice thick and husky
with intoxication, announced that he
was sick. From his bleared and bloated
appearance it was evident to the crowd
that the champion was in no condition
to fight. He had evidently been
knocked out and com pletely done by
that veteran ringster, John Barleycorn
His reputation as a prize fighter IS
gone. He is not the only strong man
whose reputation has suffered from g
meeting with this veteran wrestler
Young men, beware of meeting with
John Barleycorn, for he is hard hitter,
and no modern Samson has been able
20 cope with him. The ancients were
shorn of their strength Ivy his might.

odds as these against him. III this city
the Tribune is the only paper which
supports Blaine squarely. The Com
mercial Advertiser has not defined its
course clearly, but it evidently has no
intention of advocating Blaine, for it
says that his nomination was "glori-

also doubtful, saying that 'this may be
a bad year for Republicans, unless en-

The Chicago Convention.

Republican politicians and newspa-
pers are sorely puzzled to know who
the Democratic candidate for president
will be. Before our next issue the
nominations will be made and the per
plexity set at rest. We have our opin-
ion as to who the candidate should be,
but it would seem like arrogance on our
part to offer a prediction at this late
day. We can assure these Pepubli-
cans, whose anxiety has caused them to
predict his nomination, that it will not
be Butler. and that, whoever he may
be, he will conduct the administration
of these United States for the four
years next ensuing the fourth of March

The real grounds of objection to

to corrupt methods in politics and gov

atives, and in the danger Of his involv-
ing the ration in foreign war, in case

What Congress Did Fer Wyoming
Last Session,
Together With Some Things Which
it Did Not Do.
Some Valuable information Receiv-
ed From Delegate Post.

Hon. n. E. Post, Delegate in Congress,
accompanied by Mrs Post, returned to
Cheyenne yesterday from Washington.
The LEADER reporter interviewed Mr..
Post in regard to the work of the past ses-
sion Of Congress in so far MS it affects Wy
oming. In regard to the appropriation
for the rebuilding of Fort Russell, Mr..
Post explained that an appropriation of
S250,000 had been made for the purpose
of repairing and rebuilding four mill
tarY posts, one Of which is Fort Russell.
OF the other three, one is in Texas, one
in Arizona, and the other in this depart
ment, but he did not remember which
one. He thinks that there is not n great
amount of repairing to be douo on the
other three and that Fort Russell will get
the lions share of the appropriation.
The bill giving this territory fourjudges,
which was introduced by him. passed the
House of Representatives and went t. the
Senate. Mr.. Post thinks there is no
doubt about its finally passing and be-
coming a law.
The bill which Mr.. Post introduced in
the House last February charging the
jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace so
that they can take cognizance of matters
of contract to the extent of $500 has also
passed the House and awaits the action of
the Senate, when it convene again.
The bill repeating the desert land bill
and also the tree culture act, has passed
the House also, but Mr.. Post thinks it
will either fail in the Senate or be SO
materially amended as to leave the
law practically where it now stands.
But the best piece of information i'm
parted by Mr.. Post was that the Vest Bill,
which provided for detaching the Yellow
stone National Park from Wyoming, and
making of it an outlying precinct of Mon
ana is dead. Yes" said Mr.. Post, that
bill sleeps the sleep that knows no wax
ing"
Mr.. Post did not have much to say ii
regard to the political situation in the
East, and evidently considers hat of sec
ondsry importance to securing right and
just legislation for Wyoming. Ia regard
to Mr.. Posts labors in Congress in behalf
of Wyoming it may well be said: well
done, thou good and faithful servant.
