The large and poor population of this
domain are absolutely dependent upon
the proprietor. Their dwellings are
wretched, even for this climate; their

any ghetto, and they are apt to be in
debt to the proprietor, who gives them
their wages in store pay, at a handsome
profit. And yet, as far as I can see,

REMOVALS FROM OFFICE.
Must be Made for Other Than Pol
liticaI Reasons.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE case
of Butler, Barry and Ruckman, Gov
ernment gaugers and storekeepers in a
distillery in the West Virginia collec-
ton district, which was tried by Judge
Jackson of the United States Circuit
Court and decision reached by which
Collector White is restrained from
either removing or transferring them
to other subordinate positions, as was
contemplated. has been referred to the
Solicitor of the Treasury.
A somewhat similar case as to the
powers of Collectors of Internal Reve-
nue. to appoint or remove his deputies
was referred to the Attorney General,
who has declined to express an opinion
on the facts presented.
Judge Jackson held in the case of the
gaugers and storekeepers that they
cannot be removed from their posi-
tiens except from causes other than po-
litical, in which event their removal
must be made under the terms of the
Civil Service Act, and the rules pro-
mulgated under it, which requires that
no removals shall be made except for
cause. nor until after the charges
against the person sought to be re-
moved have been presented to him, and
he has been given an opportunity for
defense.
The Internal Revenue Bureaus con-
tentfon is directly opposed to this view
of the law.
