AGAINST PIE EATERS.
Judge Jackson hands Down An Inn.
pOrtamt Decision


Martinsburg, West Va, November
9.-Judge John ]. Jackson handed
down decision to-day which holds
that transfer connot, without trial, be
made under the civil service law he
cause il is equivalent to removal.
Judge Jackson insists that the ap-
pointment of man to federal posi-
ton under the civil service law gives
him right in equity to the place,
which he is not forced to surrender,
save for cause.
Judge Jackson holds that the dis
cretionary powers in the hands of
heads OF departments makes the civil
service a dead letter; that the civil
service law is constitutional, and that
congress has never delegated to the
president and civil service commission
Legislative power.
He also holds that the internal rev.
enue service has been placed under the
civil service code, and that any at
tempt to change the posi- ion and rank
of officers in civil service departments
is violation of the law.
He also holds that court of equity
has jurisdiction of the subject matter
of such actions and has power to re-
strain the appointing power from re-
strain the appointing power from
removing such officers.

ENDORSED!.
Ruined" Kansas Comes to the
Front With Good Gains.
The 6. o. p. '.Wins'' BY Turning Over
~ Additional Offices TO the People
of Kansas.

In view of the fact that much has
been and will yet be said with refer
ence to party gains and losses through
out the state, and such an array OF
figures and claims presented as will
tend to bewilder and confuse the
average reader, eno long lists of figures
and tabulated statements will be
given.
1t appears, however, to be general
republican assumption, based on the
usual efforts of republican journals to
give their readers the facts, that there
was universal fusion in ninely-eig
counties of the los in the state.
Secretary Upton, anti-dating the
election, claimed that this assumption
had no foundation in fact and was
purposely false. His position was
fully sustained by the action of county
conventions not even attempting an
alliance of opposing forces.
These non-a11iance conventions we're
held in thirteen counties, and in those
Peoples Party, have maintained an
independent organization and have
conducted campaign of their own;
and in four additional counties, where
weapons of the people to prevent the
success of bossism and ring rule, local
petty dissensions arose, making a
community of interests out of the
question.
We therefore have seventeen of the
los counties in which there was no
immediate pretension of fusion, 1eav-
ing the allied forces working organ
ization in eighty-eight counties.
Let us look, if you please, at the
general result, despite the three-cor-
nered fight in these II counties, where
more or less loss was considered IN
evita BILE.
AT the general election in 1895 the
people elected ia officers in the differ
ent counties, making surprising in
roads into republican strongholds.
The latest advices received by Chair
man Riddle up to noon of Wednesday
showed gain in % counties of % of
ficers, and the complete returns now
show that the ratio was fully main
tanned throughout the state and that
the people are in possession of a full
right and title to u more Republican
n a.
the people increased their lead of ia
officers in 1895 to 246 in 1897.
Just how these gentlemen are going
to figure it out that the people can
gain u officers, or any other number,
at each election for a few years, as
they should and will do, and still leave
the G. o. p, sufficient positions to
form a corporal's guard we are unable
to determine.
But if they call this showing "vic-
tory" they are welcome to it.
A prominent Republican, in con-
versation with reporter said to-day:
There is no use denying the fact
that things, on the whole, are against
us, and Republicans have no good rea-
son to felicitate themselves on the re-
suit. 1t is simply the result of "poi-
soned minds" and Republican indif-
ference. If this thing goes on the
final outcome is not hard to predict,
and that it will result in the "ruin'' of
the business interests of the state is
inevitable. State interests are at
stake, and these "d-m farmers
will have to be brought to their
senses"

Chicago, November o.-The presi-

soon assume an attitude and outline a
policy satisfactory in every way to all
friends of Cuban independence.
'If autonomy is refused, as it doubt
less will be, the president will take the
initiative in a policy looking to the in
dependence of Cuba rather than permit
congress to do so. He is a shrewd pol
itician and fully appreciates the popu-
lar sentiment prevailing. He will Sc
cure for himself and the party which
elected him the full mea sure of credit
to be derived from action so clearly in
accord with public demands. He will
suggest to congress line to be follow
ed and not wait until that body takes
such steps as would force him to act. -

1t is understood that the cattlemen
