No sweep in Posr oness.

Postmaster General Bissell stated a few
days since that notwithstanding all rumors
to the contrary, he had as yet made but one
ruling with reference 10 postmasters, TO wit.
That they would be required 10 devote their
attention to the duties Of their offices.
This rule applies to al Presidential Offices
and the more important Offices Of the fourth
class.
He further stated that there would not be
a clean sweep Of the fourth-class postmas;-
ers. bat that no decision has been made al
lowing appointees OF the last administration
10 continue in Office indefinitely. and that
in an analogy TO the terms affixed TO the 9th
er offices Of the government there would
seem to be propriety in not removing fourth
class postmasters who have held them less
than four years, unless cause exists for such
removal.
THE PEOPLE SHOULD ELECT THEM
He expressed the belief that it would be
great advantage if some plan could be de-
vised that would result in practically plac-
ing the power Of selecting these officers
in the hands of the people Of the various
localities; thus aifording mnch-needed re-
lief 10 the offices Of the Post Office Depart
ment and the representatives in Congress
from the personal importunities Of apPii-
cAuts for these positions.

open Gates on SUNDAY.


CHICAGO. Ill, June I7.-By unanimous
vote. the United States Court Of Appeals has
reversed the Circuit Court decision closing
the Worlds Fair on Sunday, and declared
to-day, through Chief Justice Fuller as their
spokesman, that the Government has no ex-
elusive right or authority in The control of
the Columbian Exposition. This substan-
tial and decisive victory for the Sunday
openers was received by the crowded court
room with loud cheers.
The scenes in the Federal Building were
fsIing climax to the dispute between the To-
cal directory and the Government Of the
United States. The room IVES crowded two
hours before the announced hour for the de-
ci,ion.
Il was not until 1l:l5 that the Chief JUS
tice, followed by Justices Bum and Allen,
took seats on the bench. As soon as the
Cour, had been formally opened, the Chief
Justice orally announced that in view Of the
many questions involved the written opin-
ions of himself and associates would be de-
ferred, and that owing to the importance Of
the questions at issue and the necessity for
a speedy deliverance from the bench, a gee
eral decision would be then and there rem
dered.
FULLER READS THE DECISION.
The Chief Justice then smoothed out sew
eral pages Of typewriter manuscript and
began 10 read. He first devoted bis atten-
ton to the contention of counsel for the
Government that the Court OF Appeals had
no jurisdiction in the premises, and after re-
viewing the arguments at some length de
clared the motion to dismiss the appeal over
ruled
Coming to the main question, the Court
took the ground that the appropriation of
s., 500 600 in souvenir coins by the United
States Government could not be construed
as a charity. or as charitable bequest. II
was simply an appropriation for the assist
snce and benefit of the local corporation 10
complete work that affected the honor of
the United States.
As to the right of the United States to
possession and control of the. grounds, the
Court held that the local corporation was in
lawful and actual possession, and that this
fact had been recognized by acts Of the Ma
tional Legislature.
GOVERNMENT NOT IN CONTROL.
The Court repudiated the idea that the
United States had any exclusive rights or
authority in the premises, and that no tena-
bic grounds had been shown for excepting
the case under the hearing from the ordina-
" rules governing Court of Chancery.
Therefore concluded the Chief Justice.
"the order of the Circuit Court is reversed,
and the case is demanded for any further
proceedings not inconsistent with this
ruling"
The deliverance of the Chief Justice had
been listened to with intense silence but at
his conclusion there went up a great cheer
from the croud in attendance, which caused
the Chief Justice to smile meaningly al his
associates The advocates ofSunday closing
were considerably cast down over the result,
but admitted that inasmuch as the ruling
was unanimous. there was no alternative
but TO bow 10 the supreme authority ofthe
United States judiciary.
