SAN Francisco, March I4.--In the
United States circuit court Judge
SAWYER to-day rendered an important
decision. by which the demurrer OF
the United States in the case of the
Southern Pacific Railroad Co. VS.. the
United States Is overruled. and the
proposition laid down that the United
States can be sued by subject.
The Southern Pacific Company
brought suit against the government
in the circuit court npetar the act OF
congress Of March 3, 1887, entitled
An aCt to provide for bring
ing suits against the government of
the United States" settling up claims
to a tract of land against the United
States and asking that its title to the
land be established in the petitioner
by decree OF this court. The lands
are odd-numbered sections lying in
the limits of lands granted by the
United States TO the company in an
act approved July, 1865. The petit
toner has performed all the necessary
conditions and its right to u patent is
shown, yet the proper officers refuse
TO issue patent as required by law.
Petitioner prays that it may be adj
judged entitled to patent and
have such further reliefs as may
be agreeable to equity. The United
States demurs TO the proposition
en- the ground that the court has no
jurisdiction in such suit. and that the
United States cannot be sued in such
case.
The court then says: In this case
the claim is founded upan the statute
of the United States and upon the
statutory contract, and the value of
the matter in dispute exceeds $1,000
and is less than $4,000. The matters
alleged. then, constitute claim within
the meaning of that term as used in
the statute. The United States are
suable thereon in this court, and the
court has jurisdiction over it, concur
rent with court claims. After care
full consideration of the matter | am
satisfied that they do constitute a
claim within the meaning of the act.
The statute is remedial, and the stat
utes are to be literally construed =

4 Real Snake.

To our miEd Senate Bill No. %, now
before the Legislature, is child begot-
ten by the Lobby, which has its head
quarters in Philadelphia, and when the
Legislature IS In session keeps up side
shows at Harrisburg AMI Pittsburg.
The title of the bill is
IAN Act to provide fo- the reimburse
ment or the several counties of the Com
monwealth. for the extra expense of mak>
ing the assessment of State tax for 1887 and
1888 and Oach succeeding year"
This reads as though promoted by a
statesman and philanthropist. while
the reverse is the fact. The lobby
agents have at least a hundred thou
sand dollars in it and will skin the tax
payers out of the money If the bill
passes. Already the Lobbyists have
their agents at work throughout the
State, negotiation with the County
Commits soners for the recovery OF from
$500 10 -, 600 in each county, varying
in percentage from twenty to fifty per
cent. of the amount recovered under the
bill. In equity, the counties should
receive some compensation for assassin z
and collecting the State tax say s. 000
for Cleardeld annually but no lobby
agent or attorney need be employed to
gather it in. The Auditor General and
the Commissioners can settle the ques-
tion among themselves and get the
money into the Treasury without giving
half the amount recovered to the lobby.
Every county in the State has had a
lesson on this subject and it should be
headed Watch the Lobby Ctedrfeld

the Court of Quarter Sessions, shall ap-
point one person as County SuperIu-
tendent of Roads, - whose term of Of
fee shall be four years. The SuperIn>
tendent shall, with the approval of the
Commissioners, appoint a "Roadmas-
ter" in each township, whose term
shall be three years, and who shall have
personal supervision of the roads with
authority 20 employ laborers to make,
repair and retain the roads. Provision
is made for the levying of a tax not exS
ceeding one cent on the dollar upon real
and personal estates, offices, trades and
occupations, to maintain the roads and
township bridges, one tenth OF which
shall be paid in money to the roadmas
ter and by him returned to the County
Treasurer as "road fund, 1" for the pay.
