COMMISSIONED EpMoNps, rERM.

what IN che Law in tho Case7-A
Matter OF Importance 10 Office
Seekers.
Although Judge Edmonds was appointed
District Commissioner for a full term of
three years and bonded for that period, his
right toshold on to his Office through the
three years is questioned, for the reason
that his appointmentfor full term, was In
violation Of law. His predecessor, Major
Thomas Z. Morgan, served full term, al
though no was appointed to ill va
cancy caused by the resignation of Captain
Phelps, who had served all but five months
of his term. Major Morgan, according to
decision of Attorney. General Brewster,
should have been appointed for tho unex-
PRED term, and Judge Edmonds, in turn,
should also have been appointed in like
manner.
Mr.. Brewster rendered the following de-
clsion THE vacancy must be filled for
the unexpired term and not for an en-
tire term of three years. The person is
appurtenaut to tho term, not tho term ap.
purtenant to the person, and the PreI-
dent has constitutional power to fill this
Office, as ho has any other office 1t being
vacant, during such uuexpired portion Of
the term for which IL is vacant"
Commissioner EdmOnds' Opinion.
Judge EdmOnds was soon by CRITIC
reporter this afternoon, who said there
was nothing in the matter. He said
that when Commissioner Morgan was APP
pointed IL was claimed that he could only
servo for one year. The President re-
ferTed 1t to Attorney General Devens, who
held that he could serve three years.
Section 8 Of the organic act providing n
permanent government for the District of
Columbia, says "The official term of said
Commissioners appointed from civil life
shall be three years, and until their sue
cessors are appointed and qualifed but tine
first appointment shall be one Commissioner
for one year and one for two years, and at
the expiration of their respective terms
their successors shall be appointed for three
yeas."
1t is claimed by the majority of persons
familiar with the District laws, that the
President can appoint successor to Com
missioner Edmonds without violating the
tenure-of-otlice act. This fact has pecu-
liar significance to applicants for Office uu-
der the District Government. Unless this
state Of affairs is taken advantage of by the
President ii will be impossible to effect
much change in the personnel of the Dis
trict Offices for more than year. General
West will be succeeded next July, but then
the two remaining Commissioners are
pleased with the heads of the different De-
partments and opposed to changes, but IL
Commissioner Edmonds is succeeded, it will
be different

For sometime since Examiner G. 8.
Bundy has been taking testimony in tho
case of Boudinot against Phillips.
J. b. Wolf who was called ms q witness
admitted having received a certain cum of
money, but declined to state what DISPOSE

witness was certified to the Circuit CourS
last week and rule was issued on the
witness to show cause why he should not be
attached for contempt and made returnable
to-day. Justice Cox certified IL to the
General Term to be heard in the first in

Growth of Cereals.
lArkanSaw Trayeler.I

TFaNeIPr.
From careful researches in Russia, Kowa-
lewSki has found that cereals grow faster in
the north than in the south. For instance,
oats and spring wheat take 1913 days and
barley 10 days to ripen about the southern
province of Kherson, and only 80. 50 and IS
days at Arkhangelsk in the north. The in
termediate regions show intermediate diff
fereuces The cause is the greater length of
the iaily exposure to sunlight in the high
iatitudes, which more than compensates for
the difference in temperature in favor of
the southern regions In each latitude the
growth of cereals is more rapid in the east
ern parts of Russia than in the western, the
land near the coast having less sunshine
than that in the continents ntsrior
