TIE ,PHILADELPHIA Press comes out
with the proposition that Sherman, of
Ohio, and Davenport, OF New YORK, be
made the Republican ticket in 1888. The
suggestion is too previous" Sherman
has shown his eligibility, bat the voting
in New York on Tuesday viii decide
whether or not Davenport will be good
running candidate. Should the Repub-
icans carry New York day after to-
morrow and Sherman and Davenport
be the ticket for 1888, President Cleve-
Land will have the credit of not only
making up the Republican ticket, butof
eleeting it.

The Prove people have held mas:
meeting and formulated a protest
against the appointment of Mr.. J. @.
Kenney to be postmaster at that city,
alleging i'nOn-residence and unfitness
for the position. A message was tels-
grEphed to the Postmaster-General, ask
ing him to withhold fnal action until the
resolutions and protest could reach him
by mail. The people of Provo, without
regard to politics. religion or "previous
condition" are attaching their names to
the protest against the appointment.

TIE OTHER day, in the woods neal
Pitts5urg, Pa, some government detec-
tives discovered the camp of eleven
ceunterfeiters, who were engaged in the
manufacture of silver dollars. The APP
parstLs was complete, and the coins
made by it were undistinguishable from
the government dollar ia appearance
not only this, but they were exactly
like the genuine coin as regards the
metal used, and so far as intrinsic
value is concerned, were worth just as
much as the dollar of the daddies. NeY-
ertheleSs the men were counterfeiters
and their coins were spurious. Govern
Rent alone has the right and power to
make its coin legal tender, and 1t is as
much crime and just as punishable to
coin silver dollars as it is to coin pewter
ones. It would still be counterfeiting
and punishable if the weight OF silver in
the spurious we're greater than in the
genuine at the same time it would
very close to an inconsistency
to prosecute man for giving more
money for a dollar than the govern
ment would give for the same price.

about time that the President was reeog-

the Democratic party as a Democrat,
and that he has ignored the most active
men of the party who labored night and
day for his success. The Nelus proceeds
to say it is not strange, under the cir

been discouraged and defeated, nor can
the danger be disguised. though it may

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Lands Held unIawfuIly by Kansas
Railway.

LEAyENwORTH, Kan. Sept 4-One of the
most important railroad land cases ever de-
clded IN the United States, was decided here
yesterday, by Judge Brewer of the United
in the name of the Attorney General of the
United States against the Kansas City, Law
renee Y Southern Kansas railroad company.
The bill was filed in January, 1888, and it al
Ieges that the railroad company unlawfully
hold 27,000 acres of land, having obtaind
patents to which it was not entitled. These
lands are in Allen county, and are improved
farms worth several million dollars. Titles
to many other lands are indirectly involved.
The railroad claimed the lands under trans
fer from the Missouri, Kansas s. Texas rail-
road, and that company held them by a
transfer from the Atchison, Topeka 81 Sante
Fe, and also by an Independent grant to it.
self. 1t seems that the grant to the Atehi-
that company to build branch down the
Neosho valley. The grant was made March
3, 1868. The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe,
instead Of building the branch, transferred its
right to do SO to fhe Missouri, Kansas and
Texas company. Afterward Congress made a
grant July 4, 1866 to the Missouri, Kansas &
IeXaS railroad company for line down the
NeoSho valley. The company built such A
line, but not such a branch of the Atchison.
topeka q Santa Fe company's road as was
required by the grant to that company Judge
brewer held that the Atchison, Topeka &
santa re company could not transfer its
right IN the branch road, and that even if it
could the branch had not been built. but an
entirely independent line belonging to diff
ferent system, the Missouri, Kansas s. Texas
company, had attempted to get both grants
while only building one road. Judge Brewer
held that the second grant superseded the
nrst, and that the patents issued under the
first grant to the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe company were void. He further held
that the company could not claim the land
under act of 1866 because it had made no Sc
lection under that act.

THE CIVIL SERVICE.
A Suit Brought to Test the Constitu-
tjonaIity of the Law.

New YORK, Sept. A suit has been
commenced in the United States Circuit
Court to test the constitutionality of the
civil service law. On the petition yesterday
Of tthe, United States ex. rel. James A;
Hencl1ley, a quo warranto order was granted
by Judge Wallace returnable on the 10th re-
quiring Dorman Eaton and the other civil
service commissioners to show cause before
the court why the defendants exercised un-
constitutional powers. The petition sets
forth in the complaint the acts land duties
of the commissioners under the civil service
color of the act are limiting the powers OF
and divesting the President of the duties
and responsibilities vested in him by the con-
stitution by limiting his power and choice
OF nominations to persons presented to him
by the defendants and prohibiting said
President from appointing any other citizen
or person to office, and so compel the Presi-
dent to submit the qualifications and htness
OF the nominations of persons for the public
service to them instead of to the Senate Of
the United States after the nominations as
required by the constitution. 1t is urged in
the petltlon that the President cannot eX-
ercise his constitutional power to appoint in
his discretion as the defendants under color
OF the eIvll service act supervise the conduct
in sections 18th and 18th of the act and have
usurped and exercised the powers and duties
which cannot be legally delegated to nor in
vested in them by citizens of the United
States.
The complainant then asks for a writ
compelling the commissioners to answer by
what right they exercise or claim to exercise
the right or power or do the duties, acts or
things set forth and that a rule be made
that this information be filed and that the
defendants aforesaid show cause why the
aforesaid information should not be filed.

ON THE WHEEL.
The Coming Bicycle Tournament at
Springfield, Mass.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Sept. 4-The list of
entries for the international three days BIZ
cycle tournament to be held here, beginning
next week Tuesday, includes the names of
seventy different riders, and the entries
aggregate 403. This is a larger number than
has ever entered for any single tournament
in the world. Last years list included 5S
names. The prospects are that the tourna-
ment next week will be the most brilliant
one in the history of the Springfield Bicycle
Club. The work of the English riders at
Hartford has, shown the Americans that
they must do their utmost if they would win.
The bicycle track for Hampden Park is in
perfect condition, and with favorable
weather many records will doubtless be
broken. The chief interest hereabouts
centres in Hendee's chances of defeating the
Englishmen Hendees friends here are not
at all discouraged over his bad defeat at
Hartford Wednesday, but on the contrary
are confident that the amateur champion will
render good account of himself next week.

riders entered are PROFESSIONALISM S.

BASE BALL.

EXHIBITION GAME TODAY.
The Portlands will play an exhibition game this
afternoon, with nine made up of their spare
players and some local talent, with Madden and
Burns as the latter's battery.
LAWRENCEs, 3; PoRTLANDs f.
The Portlands lost another game in the same
manner that they have lost majority of the
games this season-wretched work at the bat and
failure to properly support the battery. Annis,
Munce aud Weidel each had chances, by little
running, to capture fly balls and save base hits ;
instead of doing so, however, they let them drop
in the short field. 1t appeared as if nearly all
were playing to avoid errors by not attempting to
take chances, with the exception of Thayer, who
played brilliant game. Dugan did fine work in
the box, and was not batted any harder than he
has been in previous games. The home team
should have won but they didn't The Lawrences
