Cleveland aud CoIored Men,

President Cleveland appointed more
colored men TO office than President Hsr-
rison has done. or will do. or course
President Cleveland's choice was limited
TO narrow field. since he would appoint
no colored man who was not democrat.
Republican promises and democratic per-
formances can he correctly estimated only
on the basis OF the republicans and the
colored democratic voters respectively
or the ], 200. 600 colored voters In the
United States, 1,llS.000 are republicans
and $4,000 democrats. Now for every
fifty colored men appointed by Cleveland.
Harrison. 10 show an equal regard for
the imam and brother" must appoint o..
600 exactly. But Notwithstanding these
restrictions. Cleveland appointed even
more than Harrison appointed. and his
offices are now about filled. Moreover,
this estimate. by numbers alone, omits
any consideration of availability. Taking
into account the fact that nine tenths OF
the northern republicans are educated,
and a rough calculation will show thai
when II comes to substantial fsvors,
Cleveland had 1000 times more regard
for the colored man than the republicans
have. This Is the testimony of colored
men themselves, and the facts simply sus
tain the conclusion w. F. Powell. Sec

A Proper Estimate OF Harrison.

The following good story Is going the
rounds among the theatrical people:
President Harrison died and knocked Al
the gates Of Heaven for admittance. St
Peter came to the wicket and asked who
was there. The response was:
b. Harrison, president Of the United
States.
Are you mounted" was the mex
query. The president responded In the
negative and was told be could not get In
unmounted. The president turned
mournfully away, and going down the
hill, met Postmaster General Wansmaker
TO whom he revealed his tale Of woe.
Come with me, said John, IN ge
YOU in"
Together they trudged ND the hill
and on nearing the gates John said tC
Ben:
Now you get down on all fours and
will mount you aud in that way we will
get through"
Ben did as requested and John knocked
upon the gate.

WARD BEATS THE LEAGUE.

The Reserve Contract a Badly Battered
Document.
NEW YORK, Jan 29-The great base ball
case in which the National league tried to
secure an injunction restraining John NJ
Ward from playing with the Brotherhood,
was decided yesterday by Judge O'Brien in
favor of Ward The judge says the injunc-
ton is denied, but the rights of the parties
should be determined by a trial, speedy
hearing of which he will assent
Judge O'Brien, in his decision, says that
the contract is neither definite nor conscion-
able Ward does not consent 10 make a con-
tract for 1892 on the same terms as 1889
The pith of the contract as viewed by the
League is that the player is reserved for
1890 at salary not less than that for 1889;
but how much more is he to receiver and in
case OF dispute who is to decidei
Neither Fair Nor Mutual.
The judge says that according to the inter
probation of the contract by the League il
binds one party the League for ten days,
while the other party the player is bound
indefinitely The player may be summarily
discharged at any time with ten days notice
while he may be also held continuously for
life. This is not equity, as the advantage is
all on one side
The Brotherhood is delighted with the de.
cision and the members say that a trial can
go but one way, under Judge OBrien's rul-
ings.

ALBANY, Jan. 29-Cashier John Temple
ton, of the Albany County bank, died short
time ago and Monday the directors met to
elect his successor. 1t was expected that
Davii S Mann, the teller, who has teen in
the bank for nearly twenty years, would be
promoted. But during stormy SET sion of
the board one of the directors is credited
with saying that they didn't want any
"sheeny" as the head of their bank When
Mr.. Mann heard this he resigned at once,
and two of the directors also rendered their
designations. The directors then selected

The IsraeIites Resent the Insult.
No sooner was their action known on the
street, and the alleged insult to the race
noised abroad, than the Jewish custo ners of
the bank began 70 withdraw their deposits.
Within an hour a crowd of angry men, rep

city and the banks best customers, Fl led the

their accounts be closed at once One man
received a certified check for nearly 5OO, 900,

Montana Republicans Claim a
Decisive Victory.
A WRIT OF MANDAMUS GRANTED.

With n Decision That the Republican
Legislative Certificates Are Good
Democrats Not Giving Up the Fight
The Supreme Court Ruling-Iowa So
Ions Resume the Struggle with Re-
newed Energy on Permanent Organiza-
tion.
HELENA, Mont, Jan. 29-The supreme
court handed down its decision yesterday in
the case of Thompson VS. Auditor Kenney,
involving the question of the validity of the
state canvassing board certificates Thomp-
son is one of the Republican members from
Silver Bow county who claimed his seat by
the throwing out of the tunnel precinct He
applied TO the court for a writ of mandamus
to compel the auditor to issue him a war
rant for salary and mileage as member Of
the legislature. The auditor refused Thomp-
sons application for pay on the ground
first, that there was no appropriation out of
which to pay him; and second, that his seat
was contested as well as the leg Sty of the
body of which he was a member.
The Question of Certificates.
Referring to the claim that il was the duty
bers, and that they are the only legal evi.
dences Of election, the court says that the
claim is untenable, ordinance 2 of the state
| constitution requiring that the returns OF
election for the adoption or rejection of the
constitution shall be made to the secretary
of the territory, who. with the governor and
the chief justice of the territory, or any two
Of them, shall constitute board of canvass
ers with power TO meet, canvass the returns
. and declare the result The same ordinance
provides that "the votes for all the state of
| 6cers, members of the legislative assembly
aud district judges shall be returned ant
,anvassed in the same manner and by thu
same board as is the vote upon the constitu
ton"
| The Old Law Void.
The court holds that the old law, which re
quired county clerks to issue certificates, wa.
rendered void by the sections of the ordi
nance quoted above. 1t had been contendeC
by the auditors counsel that the ordinance:
framed by the constitutional convention
were not a part of that instrument, and die
not have the force and effect Of constitution
al provisions. The writ was granted.
| Effect of the Decision.
As the status of members of the Legislature
depends on the legality of the certificates O
