TIE ROYD-THAYER CASE.
NebrasKa's GubernatoriaI Contest AZ
gued Before the Supreme Court.

NebrasKa's GubernatoriaI contest AZ
gued Before the Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 0.-lntO the hands
of the supreme court Of the United
States the question Of who is rightfully
governor of Nebraska was placed. The
arguments in the case occupied just four
hours. The argument was opened by
General J. c.. Gown, attorney for Boyd.
His presentation consisted largely in
citations of constitutional and other
provisions under which Mr.. Boyd had
become q citizen by the natural opera
ton of time and the exercise of rights in
the duty of public Office and citizenship.
He argued with great force the claim
that the admission of the territory Of
Nebraska into statehood made each in
habitant of the territory a citizen of the
United States as well as of the state Of
Nebraska.
Henry D. Estabrooke, also attorney
for Boyd, argued that Boyd became d
citizen through the relation back to the
time of declaration Of intention, Of the
granting in 1890 Of final naturalization
papers to Boyds father, and that the
completed transaction takes effect as Of
the day drawn. 1890. Naturalization.
he held, was in the nature Of contract
in which the granting OF finalpapers con
stitute assistance on the part of the gov
ernment.s. He also argued that the con-
scription act OF 1843, making all persons
who had declared their intention to be-
come citizens of the United States
amenable.to military duty, had the effect
of comforting citizenship upon Boyd and
his father.
The argument in behalf of Thayer was
opened by John l.. Webster, who was
followed by Judge Dillon.
Broadly stated they base their asser-
ton of want Of citizenship in Boyd on
the ground that an alien cannot grow
into citizenship by belief or faith and by
assuming to act Us citizen. They cite
the case of Dreyden and Swinburne from
West Virginia ia which the circumstances
are substantially identical with those i'll
the case Of Boyd and in which the court
held that 81 record proof of naturaliza-
tion WIS necessary.
Ex-Attorney General Garland, attor-
ney for Boyd, closed the entire argu-
ment. He pointed out the fact that
Speaker Crisp was the son of an alien
Englishman who had taken up resi-
dence but had not secured citizenship in
this country; also, the fact that Crisp
was born in England during visit to
that country by his parents. The citi-
zelship Of Crisp, through the long resi-
derce of his parents in this country, had
never been questioned, although it was
not matter of record that either the
father or the son had taken out natural
izaticn papers or declared themselves as
GeeiroUs CT citizenship.
4 decision in the case is not expected
till some time in January.

Big MerinOs,

Western Pennsylvania is headquarters
for a class of sheep which are popularity
known as big Merinos. The class COM
prises four distinct strains of which the
leading one is the american Delaine
Merino." These sheep have been care
fully selected and bred with a view to
producing 'more wool and more mutton
on fewer legs" For record in the "Na-
tional Delaine Merino Register" rams
r required to weigh not less than 100
pounds at maturity and ewes not less
than 100 pounds. The sheep Of this
breed are compact and massive in form,
without wrinkles, and carry a heavy,
uniform fleece of fine, crimpy wool, with
natural secretion of white, we'll distrib-
uted oil sufficient to protect them from
wet, but not to form a dense, black
crust. The staple is of combing length
and quality, from which textile fabrics
are made fine enough for ladies' dress
goods. Fleeces weigh from ten pounds
upward and the mutton is claimed to be
Of good quality.-Field and Farm.
