AUDITOR SULLIVAN SLASHES
THEN WITH A MEAT
AK,
MAKING HIM VERY SORE.
WANTS FEES FOR TAKING PRIs-
ONERS TO THE POLICE
COURT
AND THE PROBATE COURT,
Thus Enabling One Deputy to
Earn an Enormous Amount
in One Day.

Sheriff Chapel is not feeling very
friendly toward County Auditor Sui
Ivan these days because of the latter's
refusal to audit the sheriff's bills for
taking prisoners into the municipal
and probate courts and for the atten-
dance of deputies in these courts.
The G o referred to this ma tier
short time ago, when the sheriff s
bill was presented to the board of
county commissioners for allowance,
but a full explanation was not given
at that time. 1t appears that the law
allows the sheriff a fee of 81 for taking
prisoner into court and 81 a. day for
his attendance, or that of deputy, in
court. The long-headed sheriff-who
by the way, never lets any tricks go
by without trumping when there is a
fee in sight-was thus enabled, as he
thought, to draw fees from several
different courts for the same deputy
for the same day.
For instance, a deputy might take a
prisoner into the district court and be
in attendance at that court, but there
was no lack of time to run down and
take one into the municipal court
In case help was scarce-turn him over
to the bailiff and entitle the sheriff
to So more fees. Then if there was
one to be taken to the probate court
to be examined for insanity, that was
SIS more. Or there might be still an
other to be taken into the district or
municipal court, and thus fees be piled
up ad infinitum in one day by a $3.50 a.
day deputy. Then the same prisoners
usually have to be taken into court
several times and that meant dupli-
cation Of these fees.
Ex-Auditor Kahn sat down on this
system last summer, but when Re-
publican was elected to succeed him,
of course the sheriff thought it would
be all right-everything would go with
a brother of his own political faith to
pass upon his fee bills.
Auditor Sullivan, however, has not
proven himself to be of that class of
the brethren, and he has not hesitated
to slash Mr.. Chapel's bills with a, mon
strous meat axe. Pursuing the policy
of his Democratic predecessor, he has
refused to audit items for bringing
the same prisoners in on different oc-
cas:ons, his construction of the law
being that the fee is only allowable
for the first time they are brought in.
The matter has been referred to the
county attorney, who is now consid-
ering the legal phase of the question,
and it ia needless to say that whatever
Mr. Chapel will eventually get out of
it the law will give him.

IRELAND,s OLD ENEMY.
Pennsylvania Irishmen Advocate
Physical Force.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. 15.-Five
thousand Irishmen, representing the
United Irish societies of Western
Pennsylvania, met at Phoenix park to-
day and passed a set of resolutions
advocating physical force in Ireland's
Pittsburg, presided. DR.. Paul NJ N.
Sheedy introduced the resolutions.
They advocated the formation of a
secret service corps in the form of
organized reformists. The convention
called for September "a in Chicago was
condemned, on the ground that it was
intended to advance the political in
terests of it's originate tors. The resofu-
lions close with the statement that
as there are prospects of an European
war, all Ir;shmen should organize and
arm themselves, so that in any emer-
gency that may arise they may be
able to strike a blow against their
hereditary enemy.

to accomplish what so many others
have failed to do; namely, to unite
in his support both the sound money
men and the fiat money men. 1t does
not speak generously for his intelli-
gence, but that is clearly what he
is about.
Mr.. Towne says to the sound mon
ey men that he is with them. He
is a ''bimetallist." He believes in
the use of gold and silver by all the
world on equal terms. He believes
in bringing this about by interna-
t1onal agreement, if possible. All
this he offers to one wing of his
party. To the other he says that he
is free silverite. If we cannot reach
the free coinage of silver by any 9TH
er means, let us go it alone Exactly
When this will become necessary.
and who is to- be the judge of the ar
rival Of the proper date, Mr.. Towne
does not say. Probably he reserves
that role for himself. What he is
thinking behind it all, however, is
that the silver question will be open
for some time yet to come. Not i'm
probably it will still be an issue to
some extent when the next congress
IS to be elected. Having that in
view, it seems to the ambitious
young gentleman from Duluth that
1T is a fine card to offer inducements
to both the gold and the silver men
to rally around him as their natural
ally and representative. 1t is not
worth while to analyze Mr.. Towne's
position further than to say that it is
eminently characters tic to the party
to which he belongs, and a fitting
sequel to the work of the Republican
League clubs at Cleveland. 1t comes,
however, a trifie late in the day. The
time for a straddle on the silver
question elapsed some months, if not
years, ago. Instead of attracting
both factions, the man who returns
to it today repels both, and reflects
upon either his sincerity or his in
telligence.

TONNES LITTLE GAME.

It appears from the address that
Congressman Towne delivered on
Wednesday at Duluth that he has
not taken leave of his senses as COM
pletely as his friends supposed. They
have been wondering for some time
what Mr.. TONNES little game might
be. He is not exactly the person to
sacrifice his entire political future
for the sake of a theory, nor could
he expect to carry the Republican
party of Minnesota with him at this
time into open advocacy of free coin
age of silver. There was no doubt
that he contemplated personal adj
vertising; but just what the idea be-
hind it was, Mr.. Towne himself has
now permitted the public to see. He
has evidently formed the notion that
he is the man appointed by destiny

could use its judgment as to the kind
of money it would make its bonds.
payable in, and the federal court Of
appeals took the same ground in a
state of Washington case.
In another field the decision ssof
Judge Ross, of the federal court for
the district of California, is of more
than local Importance in the princi-
pie it establishes applicable to mat
tiers other than that passed on, as we'll
as the large interests in many states
directly involved by it. The ques-
ton of irrigation is an Important
one. Prior to the passage of the
Wright law the work was done by
corporations which constructed the
canals and laterals, and charged a
rental for the use of the water. The
agitation against whatwas alleged to
be eXtortion in these charges led to
the passage of the act, which has
been copied in all the other states
where irrigation is necessary to ag-
r1culture. 1t provides that, on the
petition of fifty land owners for the
formation of an irrigation district.
an election shall be held, and if two
thirds of the voters are for it, the
district is formed, bonds are issued
to raise the money, and the land
in the district is assessed to pay in
terest and principal. If the tax is
not paid, the lands are sold; and, if
there is no redemption in a year, the
title passes to the purchaser. Under
this act districts have been formed
and upwards of 5,O0O,C coo invested
in their bonds. The supreme court
Of California has sustained it's con-
stitutionality.
This act Judge Ross holds uncon-
stitutional on much the same ground
taken by Judge Baker, of New York
in the bounty refunding case.
He says that the act vio-
lates the constitution of the
United States in two particulars. No
provision being made in it for giving
the persons owning land in the pro-
posed district a day in court, it is
taking property without due process
of law. Again, the uses to which
the property taken is put are not
public, but for the benefit of the in
dividuals owning land a taking of
private property for private benefit.
There is such general confidence
in the ability of the judge that it is
conceded his decision will be affirmed
by the supreme court to which it will
be taken. Meanwhile, the result will
be anXiously awaited not only by
the men who have invested their
money in these irrigation bonds, but
by the people of all the other states
of the Rocky mountain region, from
Washington to New Mexico, where
aridity prevents the cultivation of
large areas without an artificial sup

CINCINNATI, o., Aug. 15.-The agi-

Moorehead had been a prominent mem
Der of the American Flag order. His
wife was a devout Catholic and had

he was dying. Members Of the order
claimed he died unconscious and was
not a Catholic, and insisted on the
order officiating at the funeral Mrs.
Moorehead had her way, and the flu
neral will be at the cathedral, without
the order attending as a body. Father
Mackey today satisfied Washington

have the body decorated with the

tom of the order. Albert J. Ross Jr,
