Prohibitory Law II valid

G1VMAUAVOEy A<oW - vNeAV
So said the supreme court, decision
being handed down in the two cases
that have attracted more attention than
any before the court since it's organiza-
ton; Steenerson's constitutional points
against the legality of the prohibitory
law based upon the constitutional In
hibition are declared to be of no force.
The court says the prohibitory article
which received majority Of the votes
cast, though the total was not as great
as the vote polled for governor, is valid
under the enabling act passed by con-
gress; that the law passed in December.
1889, was adopted by q regularly con-
vened legislature; that the act is not
vulnerable to the constitutional objec-
tions that its object is not nj ex-
pressed in the title, or that it contains
more than one subject, or that it is not
uniform in its operation, or that it in
fiicts cruel and unusual punishment.
The writs of habeas corpus are dis
charged and Larabee remanded to the
Cass county Jail.
In the penitentiary case the court.
holds that the appointments of trustees
Of all state institutions must be con-
trolled by the act of the legislature,
which provides that ''the governor shall
nominate, and by and with the advice
Of the senate, appoint; that unless he so
nominates and the appointments are
confirmed by the senate, no vacancy
exists by reason Of the expiration of the
specific term for which trustees were
previously named, and that the present
iucumbents hold over until such pro-
cedure is strictly complied with"
This retains in Office Donnelly and
Vanhorn; confirms the title of the ap-
pointee of Warden N. F. Boucker and
declares the appointment of Ward and
Taylor null and void, and that their
warden, Daniel Williams, has no title
to the Office. The same state of affairs
exists with respectto the trustees of the
agricultural college at Fargo and there
will be two members of that board held
over.

favor the convention. The others heard
from oppose it.

Nearly Over seems to Have Taken
Hold Of All Parts OF the Country
Cheerful Reports.

1t WAS reported today that the Oriental
mills on Admiral street, which have been
closed Tor more than three years, would
begin operations at once
Inquiry at the Office OF the company
shows this report Tn be somewhat mis-
leading. The mills are to be started
up. but not until all the
old machinery has been replaced by new.
That work is now going oo. and il is es-
timated it will take about two months to
complete It.
As soon as the new machinery is In
place and in running order the mills i'll
start up. about 300 operatives will be
employed on the manufacture of cotton
goods.
1t was said at the company's ofiite that
1t expected that by the time new ma
chinery was ready the existing financial
stringency would be at al end.
