Priddie VS.. Thompson.

Recently in the Federal District
Court, Berry Lee Priddie and two
others, Office deputies Of Marshal
Wells, recently succeeded by Colo
pel Thompson, filed bill Of injunC.
ton asking that the newly appointed
marshal be inhibited and restrained
from removing them from office
The case was argued before Judge
Jackson, who has decided that under
the civil service law OF Congress
these office deputies cannot Toe re-
moved except for Causc. In my

il is conceived and enacted it will

The Judge draws n distinction be-
tween " field" and "oflicen depu-
ties, holding that the former may he
removed by the marshal ut pleasure,
but not so with the "OflicC deputies"
who are protected, as he holds, Ivy
the Civil Service law. He has there
fore entered an order pcrpctuating
the injunction, and has distinctly re-
fused to allow G.. ID. Elliott and two
other office deputies appointed by
Marshal Thompson to qualify.
This is a hard blow to the late
President of the Republican League
clubs, and it is said he will take the
case to n higher Court.

THAT LAKE OF OIL.-Whilc the
whole world is excited over the gold
discoveries in the North, sight has
been lost of another discovery that
promises to he of great value in tho
development of that section. Some
months ago lake of almost pure
petroleum was discovered and sam
pies were sent TO Seattle for analysis.
The report on these has just been
made public, and the find is reported
to be Of great richness. a company
has been formed in Seattle to handle
the product, and travellers from there
say the company intends to put it on
the Alaskan market at once. The
lake is of unknown depth, several
miles wide and five to six miles in
length, and the quality Of the pctro.
leum is said to be Of the finest. The
lake is only two miles from the
ocean. The hills surrounding are
said TO be rich in coal and asphalt
II is the expectation Of the owners
of the lake to take its products into
the mining camps of Northern
Alaska whenever the waterways will

pINGREE ON THE TARIFF.-Gov.
Plngree, Of Michigan, though Re-

ABOUT the new Republican tariff bill.
In recent interview he says:
Burrows and Mark Hanna will
hear from the people. The idea of
a lot Of millionaire Senators passing
a law to tax the unemployed and peo-
pie who haven't any property -
That is not Republicanism, and it
isn't Christianity. The worst crack
Christianity ever received was when
President Mckinley signed the tar
if bill, with its tax on sugar and
leather. When millionaire Sena.
tor sits down to meal, says grace
and puts sugar in his coffee, i won
der how he thinks the poor man is
going to get money to pay for the
sugar. ] said last fall, wherever |
spoke, that it is wrong to support a
government by taxing the people
who have no property, and Pm will
ling to repeat il on every corner of
every street in every city i'm this
country. The duty of 10 per cent.
ad valorem on hides will enable
the Leather Trust, with 1926, 900, 900,
to go to the United States treasury
and get a rebate of 10 per cent. 1t
will benefit the tanners and not the
manufacturers, and the purpose of
tariff bill should be to protect manu-
facturers."
