THE SUPREME COURT

Mobiles Its Opinion in the Case of Cock
riIl vs.. Renner and Cornelius.
HELENA, March 12.-[Special to The
TRIBUNE. THE supreme court today
modified its opinion in the case of w.
M. Cockrill We. John Renner and j. w.
Cornelius, who were bondsmen for Con-
tractor Davie. The district court of
Cascade county gave judgement against
Renner for damages, for Davies not full
filling his contract, but dismissed the
case as to Cornelius. The supreme court
some weeks ago reversed this judgment
and remanded the case for a new trial.
The modification today affirms the judy
ment Of the lower court as to Renner,
and remands the case as to Cornelius for
future action.
The supreme court also granted a writ
of mandamus to compel the state auditor
to pay County Attorney Hereford of
Yellowstone county, as an officer of a
second class county instead Of third
class. The ground was that the addi-
ton of a part of the Crow reservation to
Yellowstone county gave the latter an
assessed valuation of ovet 100000 and
raised it from third to second class.

The Leader remarks rather.complacent-
ly that county affairs are in much better
condition than those OF the city, and
further states that there is not a dollar
OF indebtedness on the part Of the county
without something to show for it. That
little county printing matterl has evil
IDENTIFY slipped the memory of our even
ing contemporary. The taxpayers of
Cascade are robbed of hundreds Of dol
lars every year by the narrow partisan
ship of the republican members o. the
board. The work can be done for half,
yes, less than half, what it now costs.
Messrs. Dickey and Ellis are responsible
for the state of affairs, and they will be
held accountable for it by the voters o!
Cascade county. Mr.. Hay has declared
himself in favor OF giving the printing
to the lowest bidder, irrespective of pol.
itics.

Missoula Missoulian, Rep: The Mis-
soulian cheerfully recommends Jerry
Collins for register of the land office at
Helena, a position he is now seeking
with much chance of success. Jerry is
an old worker in the democratic harness
and, if he be entitled to reward therefor
it is the duty of the president to recog-
nize the application. The gentleman is
we'll and favorably known throughout
the state, and we doubt if anyone can be
found in either party that will throw q
stone in the way Of his aspirations. Az
the office is to 60 to a democrat, let it be
assigned to Jerry Collins; it will be in
good hands.

Caprivi Would Coin Silver.

BERLIN, March 14.-Chancellor Won
Caprivi submitted to the bundesrath a
proposal for the coinage of II, 900, 900
marks in 8 mark pieces; 1000, 900 marks
in 2 mark pieces, and A 900, 900 marks in
] mark pieces. The proposition was
made as a result of the increased de-
mand for such coins, and from the fact
that the silver coinage has fallen 49,
600, 900 marks below the authorized
limit

A LIBERAL RALLY.
The New Prime Minister OF England
Boldly Expresses His Views on
the Irish Question.
The Plan Of Campaign Adopted by
Gladstone Will Be Carried Out
to the Letter.
The House of Lords Receives a Knock
on the Head From the New
Liberal Leader.

LONDON, March ia large crowd
gathered in the vicinity Of the foreign
Office at noon to witness the arrival Of
the leaders who were to attend the great
liberal meeting. Prominent liberals, in
Guiding Premier Rosebery and Sir Yer
non Harcourt, were Justify cheered.
Rosebery presided. Addressing the
meeting he alluded in an eulogy to the
retirement Of Gladstone and declared
the liberal party had not changed its
policy in the least since Gladstone's res
ignation. All the present cabinet were
pledged to the same policy as the former
one. 1t had no intention to recede from
any n Of the measures supported by
the former government. He declared
the honor Of England and the peace of
Europe we're safe with the present
government.
In regard to the Irish question, Rose
berry said the government was bound to
it by ties of honor and affection. The
policy of home rule would not be less de-
finitely procured and doubt On this point
should be set at rest by the pledge in
the retention of John Morley as chief
secretary for Ireland. He had been Of
fered a higher Office, but had decided
that his duty was not to sever his career
from the Irish cause. The present gov
eminent had entirely identified itself
with Gladstone's declaration in his last
parliamentary speech touching the house
of lords. The conviction had long been
forcing itself on the sneaker that, un-
der the existing democratic suffrage, the
house of lords was an anomaly, especial
ly since the lords had been turned from
a body Of hereditary law givers into n
great story" organization, at the beck
and call of a single party leader. When
the tories we're in office the power Of
veto was not exercised at the discretion
of the tory leaders. The liberals were
not blind to this danger to the constitu-
ton and they will not lose sight of any
measure c~onstitutionaly presented to
the country in regard to this perilous
anomaly.

Local politicians, good, bad and indif-
%ferent, have been busy for some time
pushing their claims for municipal pre-
ferment. 1t is right at this very time
that the business men and taxpayers
should assert their ~prerogative to govern
themselves without the aid Of petty poll
ticians. They should take the reins Of
local affairs into their own hands, and
now is the time to do it. Let us have a
business administration by business men,
irrespective of political lines. IL bust
ness men neglect the duties of citizen
ship the duty necessarily falls to the lot
OF blatherskite politicians who have only
their own selfish ends to accomplish, and
for the further reason that they are in
capable Of making a living in any other
pursuit. If these would-be politicians
are incapable of managing a business for
themselves, of what earthly use are they
in the administration Of municipal at.
fairs? The taxpayers and business mer
OF Cascade county should serve notice
upon political schemers that they refuse
to be overtaxed and humbugged an,
longer by incompetent and corrupt poll
ticians.
