THE trustees of the proposed new Col
ored College are progressing very nicely
with their work. On Friday last meet
ing was held at Dover when the site was
selected and the president and two of the
professors were elected. The farm Sc
iected as the most desirable one for the
purpose is known as the Drew Farm"
and is located one aud one half miles
west of Dover It contains nearly one
hundred acres and has buildings that can
easily be transformed into a college.
Wesley Webb, editor of the Delaware
F;q,u and Home, was elected president
and Manly X Beamer of New Castle, and
7. /, Conwell of this town, were selected
aud elected professors. The presidency
of the college pays an annual salary Of
$1,000, and Prof. Webb will doubtless
make a good manager.

THE fact that the Milford team cannot
plav ball away from home was again
plainly demonstrated ON Saturday last
when they went to FELTON, TO play a re-
turn game with the team of that place
and we're whitewashed, the score result
ing in 10 to o in favor OF FELTON,. A week
before fhe local team defeated them by
a score of 10 to OH the home grounds,
Last week there was some excuse Tor the
local bows being defeated, but not so
badly. as several of the players we're sick
and many changes had to be made iH the
composition of the club. Melch, pitcher
for Milford, was very wild and aid not
have the least control of the sphere, while
Kersev, for FELTON,, was at his best and
pitched a remarkable game. A return
game will be played at Houston to-
morrow.

THE MANNING CASE,
The United States Supreme Court Afirms
the Decision of the Wisconsin Supreme
Court.

The United States Supreme Court Affirms
h Decision of the Wisconsin Supreme
Court.
WAsH1NGToN, April 6.-The supreme
court of the United States to-day, in an
opinion by Justice Harlan, affirmed the
judgment of the supreme court of Wis
consin in the case of Patrick Manning
against George Wenks, warden of the
state prison. Manning was convicted in
the court for the district of Ashland,
Wisconsin, of manslaugbter. He con-
tended that his conviction was without
due process of law, basing it on the
ground that under the state law the gov
ernor had no authority to appoint the
judge who tried him, and that he was
tried and convicted by an unlawful
court. The United States supreme
court says the highest state tribunal held
that the Ashland court had always ex-
listed and was a court de jure, regardless
of whether or not the governor had the
right of appointment of a Judge. The
court is bound by that judgment, and
there being court de jure and judge de
facto, it holds that there is no ground on
which to order Manning's discharge.

THE Minneapolis journal is one of the
most carefully edited papers in the west,
but occasionally an error creeps in. In
a news note Wednesday, speaking of the
election of DR.. Bentley as major of this
city, they state that it was a
"victory for the friends of the
$500" road, who we're nominated in
opposition to a Northern Pacific ticket"
That no such contest was on is known to
all here. The item undoubtedly. was
written after reading DR.. B%entley's de-
NAL, published in these colomns, that he
was in any manner hostile to the $500"
obtaining a r%ight-of-way in the city.
This card, taken in connection with the
close vote polled, made it appear to
an outsider as though an is
sue was made on that point.
AS an election dodge this alleged hostili-
ty may be all right, but no one will now
press the point very earnestly that any
property owner in Bismarck would be
opposed to anything that would advance
the material interests of the city. North
DakOtans as a rule are not noted for
driving away new enterprises that might
add to the commercial importance of
their abode. Rather the reverse is true,
and the average citizen of Dakota will go
deeper into his pocket and bring forth
more bonus money for new local institu-
tions than most any other person on
earth. Too much of that kind of local
patriotism has been done by some for
their own personal good. But our text
was that the journal item was without
foundation. So sayeth the TRIBUNE.

The Pembina Pioneer Express reports
that ut is said that Hon. Jud LaMoure
intends leaving this state. 1t is certain
that he contemplates investing out on
the Great Northern extension, and he
may drive his stakes further west and
again grow up with the country. The
absence of MI. LaMoure from the politi-
cal arena of this county and state would
create a vacuum that would not easily be
filled. In a business sense, there is no
doubt that he would be much better off
to eschew politics for awhile at least, but
friend or foe will acknowledge that the
republican party and the state of North
Dakota will lose a steady hand at the
helm and a head full of brain power if
Jud emigrates.

ABOUT the rankest thing we have no.
ticed lately is the resolutions passed by
the teachers institute of Minnehaha
county, S. D. After mature d%eliberation.
they came to the conclusion that the re-
cent killing of the Italians in New Or
leans by the mob was "justifable." With
the righteousness of the taking off we
are not just now concerned, but for any
organization to deliberately arise and
say that mob law is right and proper is a
trihe too strong for our nerves. Times
may come when it should appear to be
the proper thing to say and perhaps act
in that direction, but this is not the doc
trine for our educators to have in their
heads. Let the violence part of the
community not be upheld by the teach
