establishment on East Seventh street
near Jackson street. Mr.. Mccarthy cor
roborated the story.

HOLDS UP CLOUGH's HANDS.
Supreme Court Stands by the Cover
nor in One Case

The supreme court has sustained the
action of Gov. Clough in revoking his
warrant Of reQuisition for the arrest
Of William Nisbitt Jr. Nisbitt is the
young jeweler of Grand Rapids. who
was arrested on an Indictment pro-
cured in Chicago by a firm of whole
sale jewelers. who wanted to get him
down there and compel him to paw
them some money or give bonds for
its payment. The indictment charged
Nisbitt with having obtained credit by
misrepresentation. Gov Clough first
granted the requisition of Gov Tanner.
and issued the eXtradition papers, but
before Nisbitt could be taken from the
state, he sued out a writ of habeas
corpus. and in the meantime the facts
in the case were laid before the gov
ernor. After granting a hearing to
both parties, Gov. Clough revoked his
warrant, and refused to allow Nisbitt
TO be taken from the state against his
will.
The Chicago parties then appealed to
the supreme court, which says in the
syllabus:

His Pointed Query to His Colleagues
in Regard to the Case of Rep

There are so-called republics"
writes Judge Canty in his dissenting
opinion in the Dahl case, involving the
appointment of a member of the legis~
lature as court stenographer in Henne-
pin county, where, with the sanction
or connivance of the judiciary, the eX-
ecutive sets aside the constitution at
his will, making the government close
corporation for the benefit of the ex-
ecutive and his favorites. How much
better are We if we fail to Vin6icate
so important a principle as the one
involved in this case?"
John F. Dahl, one Of the Hennepin
representatives in the present legisla-
ture, is stenOgrapher to one of the
judges on the bench. 1t is an office
which pays $500 a year salary, and a
coveted one by reason of other receipts.
A S DeWdall asked for a writ of
custer on the ground that DahPs hold
ing of the office was unconstitutional
within the Interpretation Of that dOcu-
ment as laid down in the Sutton case
two years ago.
The majority Of the court sustained
DahTs contention that the Office of
court stenographer was of such a con-
fidential nature that it might properly
be kept without the pale of this con-
stiJutional provision, although it real
ly bases its denial of DowdalPs request
on the ground that there is no apparent
