GOVERNMENT BY INJUNcrIoN.

We printed in our Geographic dispatches
yesterday a short synopsis Of the decision
handed down by Judge Jackson. Of West
Virginia. I'm relation TO removals by the
Collector Of Internal Revenue for that dis
trlct
IT seems that Collector white, like Col
lector Brady. OF the Richmond District,
sharpened his axe as soon as he went into
ONCE and az rapidly as he could cut or
the heads Of the Democratic employees
and niled their places with Republicans.
Three Of the employees determined that
they would not submit holding that they
were entitled TO their positions under the
civil service law. They secured tempo
rary injunction from Judge Jackson re-
straining the collector from removing
them.
The case was argued some time ago and
Judge jackson now hands down his de-
cision N which he sustains the oonstitu-
tionalfty OF the civil service law and de-
cides thas the employees in interest can
clares that the appointment Of man to
a federal position under the civil service
saw gives him right in equity to the
place, which he is not forced to surrender
at the dictum of the collector. He further
declares that the internal revenue service
has been placed under the merit code and
holds that any attempt to change the pos
itlon and rank Of Office in civil service de-
,partments is violation Of the law.
we learn that these cases are on all
fours with the Richmond cases. and that
the men who were discharged by Collector
Brady will insist upon reinstatement in
accordance with the decision Of Judge
jackson.
It does look indeed as though civil SER
vice was going to triumph after all, and
this is one case Of government by injunc-
ton" which will no doubt be approved by
the most ardent advocates Of the Chicago
platform.

There is an interesting row in the Grand
Army at Hiawatha, Kas. It seems that
the Grand Army Post buried a destitute
negro member Of the order in the ceme-
terry alongside the remains Of A. Holmes
former commander Of the local post As
a result the family Of Holmes have re-
moved his remains from the cemetery
and buried them in private lot.
RMS has caused q rupture in the post

of feeling. All OF which is in further con-
nrmaiion Of the fact that race prejudice
is by no means confined to Southern terri
