"SuNsET' Cox, the funny Democratic
congressman from New York, never for
gets to be humorous. He has just re-
turned to Washington from trip
through the four new states, and he
cody claims credit for the passage of the
bill making them states by the last con-
gress. This is carving joke almost too
far. The credit for the passage of that
bill belongs to the Republicans, who in
formed their obstinate Democratic col
leagues that unless the bill was allowed
to go through the House the President
would call an extra session immediately
after his Inauguration for the express
purpose of passing it. Mr.. Cox is emit
tied to the credit of having had sufficient
political sense to make virtue of neces-
sity, and for having persuaded some OF
his more near-sighted Democratic col
leagues TO vote for the bill. Let Mr..
Cox be as funny as he wants to, but
don't let the record on this subject he
muddled or confused.

THE production of anthracite coal this
year to date is about 100000 tons,
which would leave, according To usual
estimates of the output of the year, Il, =
5000 tons yet to he produced, or at
the rate of about 10000 per month, in
Guiding the usually slack month of De-
cember.-Ercbduge.
Was this originated by the coal barons
as an excuse for raising the prices short
ly? Last season was mild one, and
the coal men all had large stocks left
over, and il does not look reasonable, so
long as there have been no strikes in the
anthracite regions this summer, that
there ought TO be any shortage. Coal
ought not TO go cent higher than it is
at present. If it does, it is Just adding
so much clear profit to the barons.

II all L. :. Marshals were as prompt
to do their duty as the one at Lathrop,
Cal, yesterday there would be fewer
desperadoes in the country. The victim
of his quick but steady shot deserved
his Ignoble fate, for his attack upon
Chief Justice Field was unprovoked and
cowardly. As said by the Minneapolis
Tribune the death of Terry will hardly
be regretted by the general public.
His life had been full of venture, law
breaking and crime. In the early days
of the territory Terry was practically a
border rufIian. Though by the accident
OF politics he became Judge of the high
est court in the state, he did not hest
tate to so misuse the power of his office
that he was practically driven from the
bench and politics. When in his quar-.
rel with Broderick, he determined to
end the contest with duel, knowing
that BroderIck was no match for him,
and when Broderick's pistol had been
discharged into the ground, neverthe-
less, Terry took deliberate aim and shot
Broderick as he would have killed a
snake. The incident of yesterday is not
far from the line of retrIbutive justice.

Censured the Sullivan Jurv.

PURvIs, Miss, Aug. l4.-Judge Ter
rail- called the grand jury into court
and severely commented upon the fact
that he had heard gossip that they
wanted to refer the prize fight cases to
the Justices of the peace. He reminded
them that they were under oath to keep
everything secret, and.were indictable
for anything that leaked out by their
fault. They were under oath to make
presentment of the matters coming be-
fore them. These matters could not be
transferred to justice of the peace ex-
cept by concurrence of the court. He
would not consent to it. and if they
should say they were considering such a
thing he would summon another grand
jury. The jury then retired.

THE opponents of the dressed beef in
spection law are working hard for its
down fall. The st. Paul Dispatch oppears
To be one of the organs selected by the
monopolists to do the work of creating
sentiment against the statute, and it
says that "since the passage of the
bill the mass of meat consumers have
experienced considerable difficulty in
obtaining the choicer cuts of beef, the
butchers holding them for their more
aristocratic or down town customers.
1t also publishes a telegram from Du-
luth telling about "the utter collapse OF
the law when analysed in court" But
the Dispatch goes little too far in pre-
Stunning that the decision of Judges En-
sign and Stearns settles the fate of the
inspection on the hoof law, and that ii
may now be violated with impunity or
ignored altogether. Senator Schetfer,
who introduced the dressed meat bill IN
the last legislature, as well as the attor-
ney general and his assistant, Mr.. Childs,
express the opinion that the law is con-
stitutional, and that it was not present
ed correctly before judges Ensign and
Stearns, at Duluth. The latter gentle
m en- pronounced it unconstitutional on
account of its being in violation of Ger,
tain sections of the federal constitution
Senator Scheffer when seen by re-
porter said that each state had the right
to make its own police regulations, and
this law was nothing else. He thought
it absurd to pronounce the law unconsti'
tutional, thus telling the people of the
state that they had no right to know
what they were consuming. Attorney
General Clapp comedies in the views o.
Senator Scheffer. The case will probab
Iy be appealed to the supreme court
and it would be the part of discretion
for Amour q Co. to wait until that court
gives a decision before announcing
through their newspaper organs tina
the law has collapsed"

TERRY'S TRAGIC END.
The Noted ex.Chief Justice of
California Pays the Penalty
for an Insult.
He Is Shot Dead by Deputy Marshal
While in the Act of Shaping the
Face of Justice Field.
Seine Such Encounter Not Unexpected
Justice Field Briefly Tells the
Story OF the Shooting.

LATHRoP, Aug. l5.-The greatest ex-
element prevails over the most sensa-
tional tragedy that was ever enacted in
this city. Justice Field, of the United
States supreme court, accompanied by
Deputy United States Marshal David
Nagle, arrived here from Los Angeles on
the train, and in the same coach were
Judge David S. Terry and wife. Terry,
who sat opposite Judge. Field at the
breakfast table, arose and slapped Field
n the face. Maggie Immediately drew a
revolver and fired two Shots ut Terry,
killing him. One shot struck him in the
ear and the other in the heart. Either
would have proved fatal.
The Judge, after being shot, fell to the
floor and never utteSed a sound. He
had scarcely fallen when Mrs. Terry
rushed into the room and threw herself
ON the body. People rushed from the
room while others rushed in, and the
WIDEST EXCITEMENT PREVAILED.
Justice Field and Deputy Marshal Maggie
retreated TO sleeping car, where they
were securely locked in. In the mean
time Mrs. Terry kept constantly calling
for the arrest of the two men. Consta-
BILE Walker, before the tram pulled out,
entered the sleeper and was carried
away on board the train, shouting to the
spectators that he knew his duty and
would performit. While the train was
standing at the depot Mrs. Terry kept
running from the body of her husband
10 the sleeper, demanding admittance, in
order that she might slap Justice Fields
face. Before the appearance of Consta-
bic Walker in the car Sheriff Purvis and
deputy of Stanislaus county, had
taken charge of Deputy Marshal Maggie.
Constable Walker took Deputy Nagle
from the train at Tracy and proceeded
with him TO Stockton, where he is now
in Jail. District Attorney White Or
dered the arrest of Justice Field, upon
his arrival at San Francisco, and tele-
graphed the order to the sheriff of San
Francisco

CONTAINS have been lodged with the
civil service commissioner against Post
master Ankenv, of Minneapolis, of max
ing divers and sundry" appointments
in his Office IN violation of the civil SER
vice law. The complaint is sworn to by
a reputable citizen of Minneapolis. The
commission Is now investigating the
charges. Mr.. Ankenv was appointed
