LAW N STI

The effort to reinstate the suspended
County Commissioners, Messrs. Healy
and Ecklund failed for the want of sufi-
cient evidence to convince Judge Win
chester that they had been wrongfully
deposed. There was no limitation to the
opportunity given the orator who labored

that the conclusion arrived at was III &C.
cordance with strict justice and the i'm
Partially of the law can not be question
ed. The process by which a rehearing
was forced upon Judge Winchester on
the very threshold of the district court,
that must try and determine the case,
was an attempt to save the respondents
from being tried by a jury of their peers,
and betrayed q weakness that more judi
cious counsel would have avoided. 1t
was a reckless procedure to say the least,
and a presumption that the unskilled
barrister whose proceedings are only
listened to by a country justice, would
hardly resort to, who expected to main
tain his professional per annum income
above the five pound standard fixed for
inferior services by Daniel Webster!
But sophistry and subterfuge are always
harmless when they come in contact with
the law and the evidence backed by an
honest judge. In this instance an effort
to override a we'll considered decision
was so apparent that it was difficult to
decide which most to admire, the COM
placent impudence that demanded this
rehearing or the ~commendable patience
of the court, called upon to sit
and listen a second time to rehashed and
warmed over arguments. It is no re-

In the matter of the application for a
writ OF certiorari, which WAS considered
at the commencement of this hearing,
such a process applying only to judicial
officers, the ministerial character of the
officers attempted to be effected thereby,
evaded its application, and the entire
programme so laboriously arranged to
%reinstate the "new gang" of "%reformers,"
and the record mutilator in particular,
utterly failed. And now, in the language
of the great captain, "let us have peace"

AN interesting fight is going on in con-

tempt being made to down it by with
holding any appropriation for it's support.
Among other ~antagonizers, Mr.. Dunnell
of Minnesota said that he believed that
the government departments we're not
equal in efficiency to the departments of
eight years ago. Under the civil service
law the intelligent men did not enter the
service. It was the dudes that were 60

clear in his conviction that the admins

than it al eight or ten years ago.

Thursday by the very complimentary

CONGRESSMAN HANsBRoUaH lost a great
opportunity by not being present in the
house Saturday to help, with Maj. Pick
Ter and other northwestern members, in
the fight for the rights of the west in the
matter Of survey appropriations. A
Washington special thus refers to the
fight in the house:
The western states and territories took
up the fight generally on the appropriation
for surveyors general. When Idaho was
reached, Dubois wanted the salary of the
Office and clerk hire increased, but was
quickly disposed Of. Bis man will get
$500 and clerks $4,000, and a fight was
made for Arizona and Wyoming, with like
results. When Oregon was reached, Her
mann made a very strong speech. He rep
resented the resources Of his state and the
meager pittance for the surveyor general
and the small amount for clerks was to-
tally inadequate. There was a great deal
of trouble about the reservation surveys,
caused by insufficient clerk hire. He

vote for Minneapolis for the republican
national convention. Notwithstanding
all this the Minneapolis Journal says:
