His Case.

He Seeks to Have Archbishop Feehan Hssp
ST. LOUIS Feb. 6.--Fatber J. N. Hynes has
appealed his case against Bishop Hogan from
Archbishop Kenricks see to that Of Archbishop
Feehan Of Chicago.
Father Hynes, the pastor Of little flock in
Pierce City, NO., disobeyed the orders Of Bishop
Hogan and was ordered up TO defend himself
against charges of characterization. He tried
to defend himself but failed. As he was super
seeded he went to Rome and on his return WAS
excommunicated by Bishop Hogan. He paid
no more attention 10 the order cutting him OF
from tine Catholic church than he did TO the or
der suspending him. which. he claimed. was an
error on the part Of the bishop and beyond his
power and authority. He continued 70 act as
parish priest in Pierce City. He made q de-
mand on Bishop Hogan for q COPY Of the acts
on which he based his authority for suspendine
an insubordinate priest The bishop refused
20 LET him see il. Then he appealed to the arch
bishop and that Official refused 10 hear the argu
ment AZ II did not come from priest. but from
an excommunicant, and one. ther fore who
could not appeal 10 the ecclesiastical court
Father Hynes, nevertheless, demanded hear
ing within thirty days Of the last day of Decem-
Der. He received no reply. Seeing it useless
to try TO make Archbishop Kenrick listen 10 his
argument Why he Is still a priest and not an
excommunbcant he has decided 60 place the
case before Archbishop Feehan Of Chicago II
ne tails there he says he viii not give up until
the case has been decided by an ecclssiAsticsl
court

exclusion of all new men and apprentices
Those trades would combine and become a
Close corporation with no new subscril,-
ers, and farmers would object 10 the
buiiding up of favored class,
either by national or state governments at
their expense. With an eight-hour Law Ameri-
can markets would be opened to the products
OF foreign countries and the exports Of eight
hour products would be necessarily impossible
This sincere belief was that compulsory eight
hour law, applied TO all workingmen. would
be disastrous to their best interests and
welfare Any general law infie xihle rule on
the subject would asurp the place of free viii
and personal independence. IL any motion
were made TO postpone the bill till the 5th of
next March he would feel bound to vote for
such motion.
IN Favor OF THE BILL
Mr. Stewart argued in fovor of the bin. He
had been of opinion for years. he said. that
reduction Of the hours of labor would be for
the advantage Of the country. He believed
that the time was not far distant when il would
be unnecessary for laboring men to work as
much as eight hours a day. The progress of
the world for the last thirty or forty wears had
shown that men had been doing too much
drudgery and not enough thinking.

Gently by a representative Of the government
DR.. Won Boetticher, that the Americans have

the act of August 80, 1890, our representatives
in all European countries and in Mexico in

Taxation of Pullman Cara.

A test case of some Importance to rail-
roads was argued before the supreme court
yesterday. EX-County Treasurer Frank
Church sought TO impose 4 tax on the Pull
man palace cars that were running on the
line of the Denver and Rio Grande. The
railroad at once applied for an injunction to
prevent the tax from being imposed. By
agreement the parties to the suit laid the
matter before the supreme court to obtain
q construction of the law in regard to the
matter. II was presented on an agreed
statement of facts. The points raised and
argued were: Are the cars taxable? Ii
so, should the Denver and Rio Grande or
the Pullman company shoulder it!'
The law requires the railroad companies
doing business in the state to make sworn
statement of their entire rolling stock. In
their statement the Denver and Rio Grande
omitted the Pullman cars and the state
board of equalization supplied the defect by
estimating that the company had nineteen
or twenty cars valued at 500 COG. On the
strength of these returns Mr.. Church as
sessed the cars.
The railroad company contended that the
cars should be exempt since they belonged
to nonresident company. The state con-
tended that the property was in the state,
part of the rolling stock of the road.
Whether it belongs wholly TO the road or
not, all rolling stock in their possession
should be reported. The fault that the cars
in point were not reported is upon the com
pany, and they cannot retrieve their ground
at this stage.
The main question raised as to which
party should be taxed is regarded as close
one, since the authorities are very nearly
equally divided on the subject.
Heard and taken under advisement.

MISS sCHREINER's HOUSE.

tration of the strength of early associa-
ton. Other men and women of genius
seek retirement in the mountains and for
ests, ON the seashore or by the side OF great
rivers Olive Schreiner has gone to the
desert, and to the widest and most des-
olate part of it.
Matjesfontein is railway station 1e5
miles out from Cape Town, on the dryest
waste of the great Karoo plain. Water is
brought to the station by pipes from dis
tant reservoir. There is only the station,
s refreshment room and six little houses,
painted white and green and with zinc
roof, in the South African Dutch fashion
In one of these houses, containing but
three rooms, lives Miss Olive Schreiner,
with the inspiration OF the desert all
around her and the passage OF the regular
trains for her occasional entertainment.
She boards at the railway restaurant
and reads, writes, walks and sleeps. Just as
the notion takes her; but her lest work is
done in the early hour or so before break
fast and late in the night, when a silence
like that of universal death settles down
upon the Karoo. She is fairly good look
ing, petite in figure, with dark hair and
eyes: and contrary to what reader of her
works would think, is ardent and impul-
sive in her sympathies, an extreme liberal
politician and vivacious talker. Indeed,
she is star in society at Cape Town when
ever she visits that city.
