the autocratle conouct of young lieu
tenant at Fort Yates. who is just now
In disfavor with the president, thanks
to the GLOBES enterprise in news gath
ering; and yet he has the sympathy
and active moral support Of the officers
of the army, who imagine that the pro-
ceedings directed against him are an in
vasion of the rights of a West Pointer.
Fortunately for the country, the re-
quirementS of our national defense
have never demanded large standing
army, and thus the opportunities for
the growth of a West Point aristocracy
have been limited. If our necessities
required standing army for any length
OF time. anything like the size of stand
ing armies maintained by anyone of the
European powers, we can readily see how
MIR. BENToN's prophecy would reach full
fillnent. With the little army that
we have, and comparatively handful
OF officers, we have seen q system OF
autocracy grown up that is outrageous
i'll the eyes of the American people, and
would be alarming in case its dimensions
amounted to anything. And yet this
system, OF which the WILD case was
only one illustration, has grown and per-
fected itself without even the war de-
partment being conscious of its exist
ence or the masses of the people
dreaming of the exercise of tyrannical
power in this country that would shame
the Russian government. 1t was not
until a newspaper had exposed it that
either the authorities at Washington or
the great body of the people suspected
its existence. at first the army officers
were inclined to treat it as great
joke that the newspapers should
make sensation Of a little matter
like Private WILD's case. Even so
good man and so highly typical an
American soldier and gentleman as
Col. MASON jokingly remarked to a
GLOBE reporter. "If you are fond Of
sensations of this kind the case of every
man imprisoned in our guard house will
furnish you one" That is probably
true statement, and yet the effect of
being indoctrinated with the West
Point idea impressed one OF the best Of
ficers in the army with the opinion that
it was light matter to make convict
of an American citizen for refusing to
perform involuntary mental service at
the command of little shoulder
strapped autoerat. 1t would be a light
thing in Siberia. but it is a very serious
matter in the United States of America,
where sovereignty rests on the basis of
individual manhood. If by the pro-
ceedings the president has ordered to be
instituted against Lieut.. STEELE he
can succeed in demonstrating to the
West Pointers that army discipline
must be regulated according TO the
American idea Of justice and freedom,
and that there can be no privileged
class in this country, then he will have
performeda useful public service.

ONE AGAINST THE b. so.
The Company Worsted in the Can
non and Coniey Cases.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 25.-Judge Wright
has filed his opinion in the celebrated
cases of Cannon and ConIey against
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad COM
pany. These cases were insti-
tuted some time ago by Cannon,
and Conley, praying for the appoint
mept of receiver and to set aside an
assignment OF the property and assets
of the relief association made to the rail-
road company shortly before the dis
solution of the relief association
under the act of 1888. The court
takes up the constitutionality of
the act of 1854, by which the legis-
Iature undertook to repeal the
charters of the association, and comes
to the conclusion that applying the prin-
clples upon which the court of appeals
has acted in cases of this character, and
paying due respect to the language of
that court, it is compelled to decide that
tutional. The court then takes up
the question of what. under
the circumstance of the case, would be
the duty for the court, i'm the event that
nothing else had been done in relation
to the winding up of its affairs and the
dissolution of the corporation, and con-
cludes that the duty of the court in that
event would be to
APPOINT A RECEIVER.
The question is then considered
whether anything has been done that
would change this duty on the part of
the court, which involves the question
of the validity or legality of the agree
ment to transfer all the assets of the re-
lief association. to the railroad company,
as attempted by the committee of
management for said association.
The first objection as stated by the
court is that the agreement was ultra
wires of the committee of management
of the association. and therefore null
and void. Second. the agreement was
made by the committee of manage
ment without notice to the MEM
bers of the association who were
parties interested in the property of
the association, no meeting of the men,
beers was called, and no notice was given
that such step as the transfer and as
signment of the property Of the associa-
ton was about to be made or was
even contemplated. The transfer
was made under the assumption
that these members so bene-
fcially interested in the corpor-
ate and trust property were not con-
stitutional part of the corporation, and
therefore had no right to notice or to
corporate MeetilS W couoIucr Wnat
steps would be most advisable to the
association aud its members, and this,
notwithstanding by the charter
81 THEY ARE TERMED MEMBERS.
The court says that the term members
in this connection conveyed certain rec
ognized rights to those so termed'mem-
beers are the individuals of whom the
corporation Is composed-the units
which go to constitute the aggregated"
and had it been intended that
this committee should have such
power, surely such intention
should have been most clearly shown.
The court concludes that no such lnten-
ton was shown, and that the members
In this association have the same rights
as members in kindred associations. 1t
is understood the railroad company will
take the case to the court Of appeals.

The Big Miami Threatens to Inun-
date Ohio.
HAMILTON, o.. Feb. 25.-Ths water
in the Big Miami river is higher at this
hour 40 p. M than 1t has been known to
be in the last twenty years. The Straub
house, one of the principal hotels in
the clty.is surrounded by water, which
has submerged the basement and covers
the fionrs of the first story. All the
business houses and residences on the
west side of the river are flooded, and
the tenants have been obliged to
remove their household goods to
higher ground. The torrent from
above early in the evening brought
dewn a number of farm houses. Be
tween 5 and 6 o'clock this evening the
rise of the river at this point was
twenty-tour inches, the greatest ever
known in the same length of time.
There are indications of more rain be-
fore morning. and the prospect is that
the flood will be greatly augmented to-
morrow.

ONLY ONE WIRE.
Telegraphic Communication With
the South Practically Cut Off.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 25.-The storm
of Monday night worked great deStruc-
ton with the Geographic service, and
not word Of direct communication can
be had with the South. Until IL
o'clock tonight all connection with the
Southern states was cut off, but at that
time the Western Union succeeded in
getting wire to Chattanooga over the
Cincinnati Southern by way of Cincin-
natl. Chattanooga is below the track
of the storm, and the principal cities
Of the South can be reached by
it.. Manager Smith, of the
Western Union, says that while
one wire is better than none it is not
sufficient to enable the transmission of
one-tenth of the messages. The wires
went down all over the storm section at
about the same time-shortly after mid
night. Until 9 O'Clock this morning
all communication was cut off,
Then one wire was found. but
at IL o'clock storm-shattered
pole gave way and it, too, was lost. 1t
is impossible to ascertain anything
about the damage done to either wires,
houses, or people, or even to find out
the area covered by the storm. It re-
ported that thirty poles are down near
Rocky Hill, KY. Mr.. Smith ordered
three gangs of men out on spe-
cial trains tonight, and two
more came up from Nashville. All

For st. Paul. Minneapolis and vicinity;
Fair weather: decidedly colder.
The area of low barometer that gave the
snow here yesterday has moved eastward, ana

generally resulted from it over the greater
portion of the Northwest, and light to mod
erately heavy rain over all the territory east
ward and southwark as far as the southern
limils of Missouri and the eastern limits OF
Ohio. The area of high pressure that formed
the basis for the cold-wave prediction is now
fully developed ard oyerlies the whole ofthe
Northwest territory. Montana, the two Da-
kotas, Minnesota, and is reaching southwark
along the Missouri valley, over Nebraska and
into Kansas and Missouri. Cold and clear to
Fair weather is indicated for the Twin Cities
for the next thirty-six hours. moderation
in temperature is indicated for Thursday
afternoon. The winds over the Northwest
are quieting down to light" and there is
but little danger to be apprehended from
drifting snow; anyhow the snowfall over that
section is too light to cause serious trouble or
delay to travel. p. F. LYONS, Observer.
