The Hal Reid Case at st. Paul.

Hal Reid OF Minneapolis, convicted at
St. Paul OF assaulting Maud Campton. was
brought before Judge Kelley on Monday,
Jan. Sth. When he put the usual question
as to whether the prisoner had anything
to say as to why sentence should not be
passed upon him, he folded his arms, as.
sumed a melodramatic pose and in SOL
emn voice exclaimed:
Only this; that SO help me God, 1 am
innocent.
Judge Kelly then passed sentence upon
him, ordering him to be confined with
hard lobor for term OF fifteen years in
the state prison at Saltwater. The pris-
oner was struck dumb by the sentence,
and as full realization OF it's meaning
dawned upon him he turned fairly livid,
and slightly trembled.
The sentence was a surprise to more
people than the prisoner himself, as very
few supposed it would be so heavy.
Attorney O'Brien has declared his in
tention OF carrying the case to the supreme
court, but it cannot be argued until May.
Reid will be taken over to Saltwater.
At the jail he again asserted his inno-
cence to the reporters. He had the kind
est words for his relatives, spoke feelingly
of his wife and little daughter, and seemed
much affected by the gravity of his posi-
tion.

Power to Remove Territorial OF.

judicial.


Power to Remove Territorial Of
ficere Is Entirely Executive and not
judicial.
Yankton, Oak, Special Telegram, Jan;
12.-Chief Justice Tripp to-day rendered
his decision in the celebrated and long
fought asylum case. 1t was o very lengthy
and elaborate document. and carefully re-
viewed the minutest details OF
the well known dispute. He held
that the power to remove ter
ritorial officers is entirly executive and
not judicial. and that the governor had
also authority to fill the vacancies caused
by removal. He decided adversely to the
plaintiffs on all OF the three counts taken
and overruled their demurrer. The open
ing heavy gun OF tho fight was fired June
80. 1881, when Gov. Church
and Examiner Harris reported up
on the Yankton asylum investiga-
ton, finding that the then trustees
had unlawiully delegated their powers and
duties to Secretary Caldwell. Ex- Auditor
Caldwell was severely criticised, and the
The governor then intimated that he knew
the law, and said that the entire board
consisting OF Messrs. Powers, Williams.
Van Tassell, Brown, and Lewis would have
TO 60. Soon afterwards Messrs. Brown
and Lewis resigned, but the other men,
bers strenuously objected to re-
tiring from office under fire with charges
resting upon them. But Oct.1, Church
issued an order suspending them. The
three suspended members refused to turn
the books over to the new board which
Gov. Church appointed soon afterward,
and a hearty controversy ensued. An ap-
peal was taken to the courts, and mean
time business was transacted, SO far as
possible, by the new board. Chief Justice
Tripp's decision settles the matter and
leaves the new board in possession. The
attorneys for the old board made no mo-
tion to appeal.

Speech by the British Premier.

Lord Salisbury, speaking in Liverpool,
said the Gladstonians relied upon the con-
viction that Ireland was ungovernable,
and directed their policy toward securing
the fulflment of that Imagination. Glad
stone had said new crimes had been added
to the statute book. The highest legal
authorities had assured him Salisbury
that in their opinion sthe crimes
act was definite application OF law com.
mon to England and all countries where
law prevailed. Gladstone had prophesied
that the conservatives would eventually
give home rule to Ireland, their defense OF
the union being insincere. Let Gladstone
consider the spirit of the Unionists, many OF
whom sank every party and personal con-
Gladstonism. Never was the principle OF
national union more sincerely held. The
Unionists were convinced that Ireland
would sooner or later become thoroughly
consolidated with Great Britain, and
peacefully and prosperously exist under the
same legislature and laws, paying the
same respect to law and in the
enjoyment OF equal liberty. Vacilla-
tion was the great crime OF England
could be of any avail unless it showed
that it could govern resolutely. He de-
clared himself O free trader still on princi-
pie, but said there were many things in the
fiscal system contrary to free trade. Ex-
perience tended to show the free trade
theory had been carried too far or misap-
piled, and some reaction was probable.
The sugar question was an
instance OF the hurtful op.
Grafton OF indiscriminate free trade. The
agricultural question was q more difficult
subject, but it must be admitted that the
interests of producers and consumers in
the productions of English soil, bound
by one common interest. must stand
or fall together. He returned to the
Irish question and appealed
to England to maintain the Union. He
was convinced that those who thought the
next general election would upset Union
ism, utterly misread the sentiments OF
English democracy. Lord Salisbury spoke
in circus, which was crowded by an au-
dience OF 5000. A prominent feature Of
the speech was the dubious utterance re-
garding free trade, due to the fact that
Liverpool is the strongest center OF the fair
trade movement.

come one OF the largest in the state. It
was in more than the ordinary sense the

library was one OF the largest west OF the

in political literature. The house also con-
tanned many pictures, wearing apparel and
priceless momentoes OF the living and the
dead. The structure was inadequately in
sured, and the senator's loss is estimated
at $40. 900 over and above the insuranc-
es, which sum represents the bulk OF his

A Weakness of the Civil Service
System.

The attention OF Mr.. Edgerton, of the
civil service commission, was called to the
statement that only 1859 appointments
have been made from its certifcations
since tine civil service commission was or
ganized, anu of this number about one in
eight have been women, and that the num-
ber of applicants who have had their
names put on the eligible register is at least
fifty for every appointment made. To
this Mr.. Edgerton said:
The statement is practically correct.
There were no more appointments made
for the simple reason that there were no
more vacancies. This fact cal Is attention
to what appears to me the greatest weak
ness OF the civil service system. The eligi-
BILE registers are filled out OF all proper
tion to possible appointments. The effect
upon the young men and young women OF
this country is bad. The competitive ex-
aminations hold out hopes to hundreds OF
worthy young people OF both sexes which
can never be realized. Fifty to one is a
very small estimate OF the ratio OF success
full applicants upon the eligible register OF
appointees, and the forty nine persons who
are not appointed are grievously disap-
pointed.

Following the late Virginia case where

down very heavily on Judge Bond. OF the
United States district court, who attempt
ed to imprison State officers OF Virginia.
comes another important decision rem
dered by the supreme court OF the United
States recently in the hebeas corpus case
of the mayor and city council OF the city
OF Lincoln Neb., who are now in the Gus
tody OF the United States marshal there
for contempt OF an order OF the United
States circuit court. This court, in an
opinion by Justice Gray, holds: A United
States circuit court sitting as court OF
equity has no jurisdiction whatever over
criminal cases or cases involving the ap.
pointment or removal OF state and muEic--
ipal officers. The proceedings OF the fed
eral court in Nebraska, therefore, were in
the nature OF a usurpation OF the functions
of a court of law. were beyond it's iuris-
diction, and were null and void. The de-
tention OF the mayor and city council of
Lincoln in custody is illegal, and they are
entitled to discharge.
