The recitations by Allen Boyd were also good and much enjoyed by the audience. On the whole the concert was grand success in every way, except f. nancially, and that part might have been better.

Court Construos the Civil
Service Law.
Refusal to Contribute For Cam

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Judge Cox
Of the supreme court of the District OF
Columbia dismissed the bill of COM
plaint 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 considered in the nature
Of test of the power. of removal, and
the delivery of the opinion drew to the
court room many public officials. includ-
ing members Of the civil service COM
mission.
Judge Cox's decision was an elaborate
review of the law bearing on removals
of federal employees. He held at the
outset that it was not within the power
of a court of equity to grant relief In
matters of appointment and removal
from Office. Then taking up the merits
of the case, he stated that it was settled
law that the power of removal was an
incident to the power of appointment,
and that both could be exercised by the
head of department in reference to
subordinate officials. Concerning the
civil service law, Judge Cox held that it
must not be construed to grant author
ity either to the civil service commits
sion or to the president to make rules
contrary to the law itself, or of legls-
lative character. He quoted with ap-
proval decision Of Justice Brewer that
CONGRESS could not delegate it's power TO

legislate to any administrative pody.
The decision sums up as follows:
Legality of Rules.

"The simple inquiry is whether the
rules invoked by the complainant,
whether the president or the commits
sion or both be the authors OF them, are
such as the civil service act authorized
to be established. In my judgment
they are ultra wires, and void. l have
have no doubt that the president may
Law down rules for the internal policy
of his administration, and may require
his chief executive officers, dependent
upon his pleasure for their terms OF Of
flee, to conform to them or else to sever
their official relations with him, and in
that sense, the rules relied upon by the
complainant were within his political
and executive authority. But the en-
forcement Of such rules is mat
ter between the president and his
cabinet, and not matter for
the courts or one in which the
complainant has any legal interest.
Ali that l mean to state il this opinion
is that the rules in question were not
such as the civil service act authorizes,
and do not derive any efficacy from
that act
Wishes 1t Were Different.
ST know OF nothing more important
to the interests of the country than the
policy wnicn the civil service was in
tended to initiate and promote, and tits
perhaps matter of great regret that
the act of Jan. 16, 1883, (the civil serv-
ice actD has not gone further than 1t
does But it is my duty to construe it
as it is. To sum up, conclude that
apart from the civil service act, the
postmaster 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
removal for refusal to contribute to
partisan objects; that the pow er given
to the commission and the president to
establish rules to carry that act into ef-
feet does not authorize any rule which
shall make change IN the law in this
respect; and consequently, even if this
court had jurisdiction in case like the
present one, the complainant is not en-
titled to the relief prayed.
It is probable that an appeal will be
taken from the decision, and, it is said,
that ultimately the United States su-

Helena, Ark, has set pace which
all river towns are likely to follow and
which will probably effect suspension
of river traffic until the present scare
dies out. The board of health of that
city decided hat no boat from south of
Vicksburg snou1d be allowed to land at
the pier or within point of five miles
of the corporate limits of Helena. Mon
roe, which so far held aloof in spite of
threats and refused to quarantine New
Orleans, felt compelled on receipt of the
information that there are several cases
of yellow fever in New Orleans, to de-
clare a rigid quarantine against this
city.

nation One was found to be extremely
suspicious, one is still under investlga-

Reports from Ocean Springs say there
have been four new cases. Surgeon
Wasdin, who is i'll, is doing well.
The city is so tightly tied up now
and so many hands are lifted against
her there is no longer any commotion
created when this, that or other town
institutes quarantine. Within radius
of 1000 miles every town and hamlet
has emphatically refused to have any

who are on the road are tied up in small

the country people are at present paying
