Judge Jackson's Latest Ruling in a
Civil Service Case.
NO REMOVALS EXCEPT FOR OAUs

BY This Ruling a Man Who Gets a
Civil Service Place Has Right Par
amount to the Power OF the Head
OF the Department.
Martinsburg, W. Va, Nov. 9.-Judge
John j. Jackson handed down de-
cision yesterday which holds that trans
fer without trial cannot be made under
the civil service law, because it 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 re-
marks in his document that the leav-
ing Of discretionary powers in the
hands of the heads of departments
makes the civil service a dead letter.
He rules that there is no doubt the
civil service law is entirely constitu-
tional.
His second finding is that congress
has never delegated to the president
ana the commission legislative power.
His third point declares that the in
ternal revenue service has been placed
under the merit code and he also holds
that any attempt to change the position
and rank of officers in civil service de-
partments is a violation of the law.
His final holding is that court of
equity has a right to sit in such cases,
and has the jurisdiction to restrain

EX-GOVERNOR AT REST.
Bishop Coleman Says the Dceeased's
Word was as Good as His Bond.

Right liov. leighton Coleman, assisted
by Rev. }. Leighton McKim of Milford,
Jesse G. Taylor of Lewes and John War
mock, conducted tho service over tho re.
mains OF Ex-Governor Ponder at Milton
yesterday. Among other things the Bishop
said. "rhc faithful arc minished from
among the children of menp' These words
of tho Psalmist tho bishop said, came to
his mind when he was asked 70 make an
address, as illustrative of Ex-Governor
Ponder's character. While there were
other admirable characteristics. none stood
out moro distinctly than his .faithfulness.
Men might differ from him, but thoy
always know whore to find him His con-
victions were strong and he could be re.
lied on to reman true to them. In things
ecclesiastical. political and commercial, ho
was llrm and steadfast.
Inhcritng a love for the Catholic and
Apostolic Church, to which he belonged,
his affection for her increased with ud-
vancins yoars, and nothing could swerye
him from 1t, In politics ho was equally
Interchangeable. while in The discharge Of
the public duties to which he was from
time to time elected by the suiferages OF
his fellow citizens he was uucorrupt and
consis! ent. No one who had business
with him accused him of unfairness. His
word WAS ever as good as his bond.
IN tncSo days NHtu tncfe arc SO many
tricks in politics and tricks in trade, it Is
something for which to be thankful that
in one, who has been so prominent n citizen
VIC had an example of fidelity und reliubl.
ity, so helpful and stimulating. The
"Inlnishrg' of such men is Il public ca.
lumty, but such lives are not lost. Their
influence remains ana Is by Gods grace pO.
tent for tho commonwealth. So we can.
not but hops that out Of the strength of his
upright character other lives will be made
the stronger to do what Is manly and right
In conclusion Bishop Coleman pointed out
how IN possible any such contribution to
the common good was without the grace
OF God. without Whom nothing is strong,
nothing is holy.
iyl'he pail bearers were: Governor Ebe
W. Turmoil, of Lcwes; Chief Justice
Charles B. Lore Of Wilmington; ex-Gov-
ernor Charles G, Stockley. of Georgetown;

WHO'S IN FAULT.
This is the ninth of n series of artit

This Is the ninth of n series of articles
written by David Il. Hollingsworth in be-
half of his brother Abnor, who was Inur-
derod at Wooddale quarrles on Juue 1lth,
1896.
Who's in fault of this sadness?
Surnly some ono is to blame;
TO wrong the right do you call gladnoss!
II so then it must bo shame;
Tell Us where your part is right,
No one sees in this sad hour,
Anywhere to give you might;
You must be acting wrong in power,
just as truo as Gods in heaven,
And the sun shines on to day,
Things are wrOg mas they arc giycn,
Whoever has the right may say
Is that honor you've erected?
Sad indeed to think If so,
But what olso could be expected,
When we look and see such woe,
You may call it what you will,
There is something dark in sight
Should this not be moved on still,
To the end for what is right2
A darker deed could not te dono
Oh this earth, in heather lands
When all, no matter what has come,
As the evidence does command.
Life was too precious to be taken
From the loved one who was so d"ar
BY such acts IS you arc making
For the ones who are SO near;
Perhaps you might have all this saved,
Than to cause IL life 50 young,
10 he taken to tho grave.
Whom there had been nothing done,
What is Just for man to do?
llr should sravoly bear itun
God cannot think we'll OF you,
A (ter what He sees you've done;
Then the proof WAS not tnken,
81 hose man who werr there.
