The Board of Trade Committee Has Been

CINCINNATI, June 30.-The board of trade

that the present arrangement in business

Third-That the present coinage of sill

RIGHT OF REMOVAL
An Old Question Up in New
Phase.
OFFICE HOLDERS REFUSE TO go"

Insist on Staying Their Full Four Years
How an Alabama Judge Got Around
the Point. which Is Still Undecided by
the Courts-A Territorini Orficiai Who
Declines to vacate-CaIeb Cnshing's
Opinion.
WASHINGTON, June 30.-The question of
right of the president to remove public
official before the expiration of his term
of four years without assigning cause
comes up in a new phase. Certain old Off
cials in Alabama set up the claim that
the president had no power to remove
them before the end of their terms. One
of them was the old United States attor-
ney, who refused co give way to the new
appointee. The matter came up in court
and while the court did not render any
decision involving the case at issue it cut
the gordian knot by simply recognizing
the new appointee and refusing to listen
to the old United States attorney.
Now Comes IA Territorial Judge.
Now a judge in one of the territories re-
fuses to turn his Office over to the new
Judge appointed by President Cleveland,
and Attorney General Olney is somewhat
embarrassed by the situation. The old
Judge is removed" on paper, but physi
cally he is in possession of his office today.
There are also several old treasury officials
who resent their removal to the extent of
threatening toappeal the cases to- the court.
These cases differ from the cases in the
department of Justice in that the removed
persons held their commissions from the
secretary Of the treasury instead of the
president Ss9
Doubt in High Oficiai Circles. ~n~-1=
Some doubt is expressed in high official
circles as TO the absolute right of removal
of a person holding presidential commits
sion. The late Caleb Gushing Is usually
quoted by tho who entertain this view.
In legal opinion rendered while he was
attorney general he argued at some length
against the right of absolute removal of
officials who We're appointed by the presi-
dent with the advice and consent of the
senate" His deduction was that the same
power that consummated the appointment
must be operate in making the removal.
Cushing's Opinion Not Rule.
The opinion, however, seems to stand
alone and during all administra-
ercised by the president, and now that
the paragraph of the tenure of Office act
relating to the term of service has been
pealed it is contended that there is moth
ing in the law that abridCes or qualities
the right of the president as to removals.
Still the question Is an undecided one as
far as the courts go. The attention of the
civil service commission has been called 10

Discussion.

Discussion.
WASHINGTON, June 3O.-Secretary Car
Isle receives numerous callers, among
whom are many members of congress.
With all of these the silver question forms
the principal topic of consideration, and
the continued decline of the price of silver
is naturally ahverted to- The secretary
had received-a cablegram stating that the
price If silver was yesterday in London
6Si% cents per ounce, at which rate the sill
yer dollar as bullion was worth 53 cents.
Nevertheless the point. the secretary said,
was of course apparent that the purchasing
power of the silver dollar. with silver bull
ion at 6SI5 cents per ounce. was as great
today rs it was when silver was worth s.. y
per ounce and the bullion value of the sill
yer dollar was % cents.
1t should be equally obvious that this IL
so because it is known that the credit OF
the United States is behind its silver
money rs it is behind all of its other forms
of money, and without which none OF
them. except gold coin and gold certiff-
Gates, would he worth their par value in

fact was several times emphasized ut the

DENVER, June 3O.-Silver mining and
smelling in Colorado will cease. This de
cision has been reached at a meeting of all
the leading mine owners and managers OF
the state held at the Brown Palace hotel.
The mines cannot be operated at the pres
ent price, and to stop further loss all opera
tions will come to a standstill, and p, 200
to 80. coo men be thrown out of employ
ment. There was a large attendance at
the meeting. Elk Governor j. Il. Grant, of
the Omaha and Grant smelter. the largest
concern of it's kind in the world, was made
chairman. \ committee on resolutions
was appointed, which was out of the room

Management.
When chilled or ncarly exhausted
from overwork or anxiety, a cup of hoe
milk is moro stimulating than any alco-
holic drink, and it has this to recon-
mend it in preference. it is also nourish-
ing.
Now is the time to arrange fore gen.
erous supply Of fodder corn to supple
mcnt the pastures. Six quarts of seed
is all we should ever use to get the best
fodder corn. If sown too thick!y IT is
watery and lacks nutrition. Corn is a
sun plant and must have it to make a
perfect plant with all the sugar and
starch which it contains when grown
in the proper way. When soHvn this
way it will produce plenty of ears. Do
not keep your cows all summer at a loss
when little forethought and care will
provide n generous supply OF 1oOd
which will make a profit
Great caRe should be taken of tho

We find that it is best TO take the calf
