THE NAsHvILLE's GOOD WORK.

THE NASHVILLE'S GOOD WORK.
The gunboats Wilmington and Nash
vile were built on the same ways at
Newport News and launched on the
same day, citizens of both cities ming
ling in celebration Of the great event.
The Nashville went off the ways first
and the cheers of the Wilmington folk
were just as hearty as those of the dele
cation from Nashville. When the Will
mington made her plunge the people
from Nashville almost shouted them
selves hOarse. Under these circum-
stances our citizens will be delighted to
learn that the members of the Naval
Trial Board, just returned to Washing
ton from the sea trial of the gunboat
Nashville. make very favorable re-
port of the qualities of the vessel and
particularly Of her sailing qualities.
With her propeller dragging under sail
she made, with a wind of four degrees
strength, a speed of about six knots
She tackled on breeze Of three, some
thing not expected at all of such craft
and satisfied the board that she can
make more than ten knots under sal
alone in good wind. This is combi-
nation of good cruising qualities which
has been long the aim Of the construc
tion corps.

A TIMELY DECISION.

Judge Jackson, of the United States
District Court for the Martinsburg CIV.
Val district. has stirred officialdom at
Washington with a sweeping decision
in relation to the internal revenue ser
vice. In its broad application IT applies
with equal force to the Maryland in
ternal revenue district of which we
form a part.
The Judge issued a perpetual injunc-
ton against A. b. White, collector OF
internal revenue, restraining him from
removing certain employees connected
with his office. In his decision Judge
Jackson says that the employees are pro-
tected by the Civil Service law and that
"for the good OF the service" is not a
sufficiently specific charge under which
to make removals. In considering the
demurrers set up by Collector Whites
attorneys Judge Jackson's decision COW
ers the following points:
First. That the act known as the
"Civil Service act" is constitutional.
Second. That Congress has not dele
gated to the president and the Civil
Service Commission legislative powers,
Third. That by rule 8, section /, the
internal revenue service has been placed
under the Civil Service act and rules
made in pursuance Of it.
Fourth. That the plaintiffs in these
actions are officers of the government
in the internal revenue service.
Fifth That they cannot be removed
from their positions except for cause
other than political, in which event their
removal must be made under the terms
and provisions of the Civil Service act
and the rules promulgated under it,
which under the act OF Congress, be-
came a part of the law.
Sixth. That the attempt to change
the position and rank of the officers in
these cases is in violation of law.
Seventh. That a court of equity has
jurisdiction to restrain the appointing
power from removing the officers from
their positions, If such removals are in
violation of the Civil Service act.
This is a timely decision, for the Re
publican hunters of spoils are doinl
their best to upset the Civil Service al
along the line.

LACK MIR. BAYARD's POPULARITY

says that the brilliancy of the gathering
at the lord mayors banquet, at the
Guild Hall was somewhat marred by
the tokens of mourning for the late
Duchess of Teck. majority of the
ladies present wore gowns of black or
dark gray. The entrance of the Mar
quis of Salisbury, prime minister and
Arthur J. BalfOur, first lord of the treas
ury. was the signal for loud applause.
but the reception rendered to the for
eign diplomats was of the tamest char
acter as compared with the enthusiasm
which last year greeted the then am
bassador of the United States, Thomas
f. Bayard.

The German Emperor Uses None Ex-
cept Those Made i'm His Country.
Emperor Williams faithful subjects
are interested just now in an account of
his playing cards. says the London
Post. 1t appears that the royal table
does not admit the usual French de-
signs. His majesty's packs are printed
in an Altenberg mandatory and eN-
hibit old German patterns. The backs
are devoted to a symbolical exposition
of the triple alliance. The Prussian
eagle. the double eagle of Austria and
the silver cross of the house of Savoy
appear on a red field, surrounded with
Ivy and surmounted by the imperial
crown. Similar designs are introduced
at the corners and the -four co'ors" are
Etrewn over the card. The picture
cards are executed in corresponding
Etyle. The king of diamonds is said to
have n family likeness with the great
Kurfurst. The queen of hearts appears
as a simple Gretchen and the knave Of
diamonds as a knight Of St. John. His
tory does not relate whether the en-
peror is a whist player or confines him
self to the national game Of skat.
