A STATE LAW SUIT.

Mitchell dispatch, Is: The circuit
court convened here yesterday with
Judge Haney on the bench. Yesterday
"a case OF minor Importance was ON trial
ald today the case of Prof. L. III. Whit
lock VS.. tie state board of regents is on
trial. In the spring of 1891 the trustees
Of the agricultural college, acting under
the authority of the state board of re-
gents. engaged Prof. WhItlock to take
the chair of mechanical engineering, and
his services began II May, 1891. To
October, 1891, the board of regents ap.
proved his engagement for another year
from November l, 1891, to November
l, 1892-and his salary was raised to
$500 per year. He served till February
that part of the year. But in the mean
time some trivial charges had been made
against him, and the trustees passed a
resolution asking for his resignation.
Whitlock refused to resign in the
absence OF any assigned reason for the
demand. Later Secretary Fr~eudenfeld,
uf the board OF regents, notified Whit
lock hat the action OF the trustees was
approved, and that he was dismissed,
but it is claimed by plaintiff that there
is no official record of such action.
After February %, 1892, President
McLouth refused to receive Whitlock as
professor of the institution, as his place
had been assigned to another person.
Mr. Whitlock claims to have had a con.
tract with the board OF regents and
brings suit 10 ecover the balance of the
years salary.
The defense sets up the claims of in.
competence and some rather trivial
matters OF neglect.
The plaintiff is represented by A. T.
Hitchcock, of this place, and Coe /
Crawford appears for the state.
President McLouth, Prof. Phillips
Secretary Hewett and Engineer John,
SOD, all OF the agricultural college, are
here TO testify in the case.

MORE QUESTIONS ARISE

fs~egard.rg Senatorial Vacancies I'm Mem
tana Washington and Wyoming.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Some ques-
ton has arisen as to whether the sena-
tors to be chosen to fill vacancies in
Montana, Wyoming and Washington,
can be elected upon the first day the
legislature meets, or whether they must
wait until the prescribed day fixed for
the election of senators whose terms
begin shortly. Senator Dubois OF Idaho
has been looking up the matter for
some friends in the West, and has
70 that senators elected to fill va
cau,. must be elected in precisely the
same manne as those to fill terms
to expire in the near future.
This will prevent the election of sena.
tors to fill the vacancies until the time
when the regular senatorial elections
would occur. Another matter which
he ascertained in looking up the case
was that when these senators are
elected they will not draw salaries un.
til they qualify, which is not the case
in the election of senators elected for
full terms. In the latter case, whether
they qualify ON March 4 or not. their
pay begins. Idaho was admitted on
July 8, the senators elected began
drawing pay from that date. Since
then a provision has been inserted in
nm appropriation bill prescribing wher
senators elected to till the vacancie:
shall begin to draw salaries.

QUEBEC, Dec. &c. -Considerable ex.
element was caused here by the dis.
covery of an Illicit still for the manu-
facture of whisky in the very heart of
the city. The discovery was made
through the accidental explosion of a
boiler. The explosion set fire TO the
building and seriously burned nine peo-
pie. What adds to the sensation ID that
one of the illicit distillers is a sergeant
of the city police force named Red
mond, who is fearfully burned.

TLey hive peculiar methods of argu-
ing tariff matt rs in the Old World.
Emperor William of Germany said,
at recent State dinner. anent the pre-
posed treaty with Russia, that its rejection
would lead to a vigorous tariff war and
that tariff would sooner or later change
to clash of arms. He also spoke very
favorably for the cause of white-winged
peace which was II most remarkable
thing for William of Germany to do.
Tariff differences lead TO a clash OF
mouths in this country and we may be
thankful that America is not run on the
European plan. Yet the Gar and the
Emperor will never come to blows over
the tariff question. 1t is too good an
excuse for fighting.

ELECTRICITY vs.. STEAM.

Slowly but surely the electric motor
is creeping upon its rival, the lccomo-
tive.
People laughed few years ago
at The suggestion that electricity
would supplant horse and cable
power on the street railroads.
Later they laughed still more derisively
at the thought of equipping our steam
railroad with The trolley. But the latest
plan, that of through electric line from
Philadelphia to Jersey City, is looked upon
with amazement, not TO say incredulity,
by even many of the exponents of the
trolley.
Such road is not only possible, but
feasible. The Consolidated Traction
Company, gigantic capitalization
in itself, and the still more powerful
Pennsylvania Railroad Company are
said to have joined hands on this issue
and, with s5O,O0o00O at their com
mand, will connect these two re-
mote cities by the trolley system.
The report seems to be worthy of Gre
dence. Its naturalization would result
in new era of overland transportation.
IL successfully carried out it would
place the electric motor side
by side with the steam
locomotive. II would inaugurate
n long aud bitter fight for supremacy
between tho two motive powers and the
stronger would triumph. The public
will watch the struggle with something
more than interest.

CARLISLE's PREDICAMENT.

Secretary Carlisle is reported as being
somewhat disturbed over the prospect
that his slender gold reserve may be
drawn on TO pay for the new bond issue
IA contingency that The NEWS pointed
out some weeks ago as more than likely
10 occur.
Already the announcement has come
TO the secretary that more than s., 900, 900
of legal tenders have been deposited by
purchasers of the new bond issue. If
these legal tenders are green backs or
gold coin notes they must be redeemed
by the treasury in gold coin and that
coin will then be paid over for the new
bonds.
Ii therefore is not only possible but
extremely probable that large part of
the bond iss1e will be paid for in this
way, with the result that when the issue
is Ill paid for there will not
be an additional dollar in gold in the
treasury, and tho bond issue will become
p actically useless or worse by tie fact
that we shall have exchangeda a non-inter-
est bearing certificate Of Indebtedness
for one bearing high rate Of interest.
The banking fraternity of the United
States in not in business for philanthro-
py's sake, as Mr.. Carlisle has doubtless
learned by this time.
His plan for re-enforcing the gold re-
serve. he finds, practically amounts to
taking gold out " one pocket and put
ting 1t in another pocket aud paying a
high rate of interest for the transfer, Il
truly Democratic method of fnancier-
lug quite akin to Professor Who's
method of filling a hole by IN kin, it
bigger and deeper.

ernment by $35,000,000. There is
not one among them who can truthfully
assert that the appropriation OF last year
was excessive. or that the Government
can get along with comfort on u
cent less tins year, but the
mistakes and follies OF the past eleven
months of Democratic domination have
put the National Treasury in n had
hole. The Secretary Of tie Treasury
is already in the act of borrowing
$40 600, 900, debt which must some
day lie liqaidated out of the pockets Of
the taxpayers. The $50, 100000 which
must be deducted from the
annual expenses of the Gov
ernment also comes out of the
pockets of these same taxpayers in
effect, for by that amount they must
decrease the comforts Of national exist
ence.
A cheap government, cheaply admin
istercd and loaded down with burden
some taxes ia what the odious Wilson
bill is 10 bring about. Under the reign
Of the Mckinley bill nobody ever
worried as To how the government
bills were TO be paid. But with
the revenue shut off the Democrats
are compelled to resort to all kinds of
subterfuges and expedients to keep the
ship Of state afloat Nor does it take a
discriminating eve to discern where a
portion of that S35, 900, 600 will be saved.
The Hoke Smith pension meddling
leaves no doubt but that goodly por-
tion of the retrenchment will be at the
expense of the ole soldiers. To keep the
Wilson bill afoat the Government must
repUdiate its just and sacred obligations
to the men who saved it from disaster.
This is Democracy.
