A Report That the Government is Pr Z

New York, September IA special
to the Journal and Advertiser from
Washington says: 1t is now evident
that the government is getting ready
to deal with Spain vigorously. The
board of officers of the Navy Intelli-
gence Bureau has had conference as
to the scheme of naval operations to
be adopted in case Of war with Spain.
A plan which was worked out in detail
some time ago was discussed and after
few alterations necessary to bring it
up to date, this plan was approved
At the first sign Of actual war the
powerful North Atlantic squadron will
rendezvous within striking distance of
Havana, while the four naval reserve
ships of the American line-the Paris,
New York, ST. Louis and st. Paul-will
receive their ornaments as cruisers
and will proceed TO Spain 40 watch
the operations of the Spanish fleet,
track it and warn the American naval
commanders in advance of it's move
ments.

DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy is Endorsed and recommended by more
people whom it has cured, more physicians,
more hospitals and more charitable societies
than any other remedy in the world and if

you wish health to take the place Of disease,
if you wish to know what it is to be without
pain, weakness, nervousness, humours or in
deed any kind of nervous and physical suffer-
ing, take DR.. Greene's Neryura blood and

DIR. Greenes Nervura is not patent medi-
cine, but the prescription of DR.. Greene of So
West l4th St., New York City, the most sue
cessful physician in curing diseases, and is,
therefore, exactly and perfectly adapted to
cure. Consultation, examination and advice
in regard to any case may be had free at DR..
Greene's office, either if you call or write.

the enforcement of such rules is a
matter between the President and his
cabinet, and not matter for the courts
or one in which the complainant has
any legal interest. All that L mean to
state in this opinion is that the rules
in question were not such as the civil
service act authorizes and do not de-
rive any efficiency from that act"
Il know of nothing more important
to the interests of the country than
the policy which the civil service leg
islation was intended to initiate and
promote, and it is perhaps matter
OF great regret that the act of January
16, 1888 (the civil service act), has not
gone further than it does. But it is
my duty to construe it as it is.
ITO sum up, l conclude that apart
from the civil service act, the Post
master General had the authority to
remove the complainant from Office at
his pleasure; that all this makes no
change in this respect except to forbid
removals for refusal to contribute to
partisan objects; that the power given
to the commission and the President
to establish rules to carry that act into
effect does not authorize any rule
which shall make change in the law
in this respect, and consequently that,
even If this court had jurisdiction in a
case like the present one the complain
ant is not entitled to the relief prayed"
1t is probable that an appeal will be
taken from the decision, and 1t is said
that ultimately the United States SUI
preme Court will be asked to pass on
the question involved.

Brought by a Superintendent Of
Mails to Have Attorney General
Gary Enjoined from Removing
Him from Office.
Washington, September 14.-Judge
Cox, of the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia, to-day dismissed
the bill of complaint of John G. Wood,
superintendent of mails at Louisville,
praying that Postmaster General Gary
and Assistant Postmaster General
Heath be enjoined from removing him
from Office. The case has been consid-
cred in the nature of a test Of power
of removal, and the delivery Of the
opinion drew to the court room many
public officials, including members Of
the Civil Service Commission.
Judge Cox's decision was an elabo-
rate review of the law bearing on re-
movals of federal employees. He held
at the outset that it was not within
the power of court of equity to grant
relief in matters of appointment and
removal from Office. Then taking I'D
the merits Of the case, he stated that
it was settled law that the power of re-
moval was an incident to the power of
appointment, and that both could be
exercised by the head of a department
in reference to subordinate officials.
Concerning the civil service law,
Judge Cox held that it must not be
construed to grant authority, either to
the Civil Service Commission, or to the
President, to make rules contrary to the
law itself, or Of legislative character.
He quoted with approval the decision
of Justice Brewer that Congress could
not delegate its power to legislate to
any administrative body. The decis-
ion sums up as follows:
"The simple inquiry is whether the
rules invoked by the complainant.
whether the President or the commits
sioner, or both, be the authors of them.
are such as the civil service act au-
thorized to be established. In nv
| judgment they are ultra wires and void.
| have no doubt that the President may
lay down rules for the internal policy
or his administration and may require
his chief executive officers, dependent
upon his pleasure for their terms of
Office, to conform to them or else to
sever their official relations with him,
and in that sense, the rules relied on
by the complainant were within his
political and executive authority. But

Compilation Of Statutes.

A bill has been recommended for pas
sage by the Judiciary committee Of the
House to authorize the Secretary Of
State to purchase a sufficient number OF
copies Of the general laws, including
those passed at the present session Of the
Legislature, to supply all public officers
Of the State. This proposition contem-
plates a compilation in two volumes to
be thoroughly annotated and indexed in
such manner as to present the laws en-
acted by the Legislature and as inter
preted by the Supreme court. The
compilation to be so purchased is to be
made by Judge W. g. Webb Of Topeka,
who has been engaged in annotating the
statutes and arranging for such publica.
tion for several years. A new compila-
tion is needed. There is no better man
in the State for this important work
than Judge Webb. He has been recog-
nized for years as one Of the ablest
lawyers in Kansas, and his compilation
Of the laws of the State would be such
as to merit the approval Of the entire
bar.
