Martinsburg independent. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1875-1900, 1898-06-04

WASHINGTON, May 3l.-Justice
Harlan today handed down the opin-
ion OF the court in the cases of A. B.
White, collector of internal revenue,
for the district of West Virginia
against Berry, Butler and Ruckman
appealed from the Circuit Court OF
the United States for West Virginia.
The appellees we're gaugers and
storekeepers at the Hannis distillery
in West Virginia, and Mr.. White,
who was appointed to the office of
internal revenue collector by Mr..
Mckinley, announced his purpose to
remove them and appoint Republi-
cans to their places. They resisted
removal on the ground that as they
we're employed under civil service
law they could not be removed ex-
cept for causes shown and proved.
In the West Virginia circuit court
an order was issued sustaining the
appellees and "restrsining and inhib'
iting White from in any wise inter.
terIng with the plaintiffs in the pos
session Of their Offices and the dis.
charge of their duties.'
1t was commended on behalf of the
government that the circuit court
sitting in equity as it did in the
case, was without jurisdiction to en-
terrain the suit. The opinion today
accepts this view of the matter, re.
verses the circuit court, and does
not therefore enter upon the merits
of the various questions involved.
Justice Harlan said:
'If the assignment of some one to
duty as gauger at the Hannis dis
tlllery in the place of the plaintiff
did not work his removal from Office
court of equity ought not to as
sumo to control the discretion which
the executive department has in ali
matters. Interference by the judicial
department would lead to the ut
most confusion in the management
of executive affairs"

Our Treaty with France.

PARIS, May 3l.-At the meeting
of the cabinet today M. Hanotaux,
the Minister for Foreign Affairs, an
nounced the signing of the CONNER
ciRl agreement with the United
States. In SO doing he pointed out
that the arrangement was indicative
to the friendly sentiments which the
two governments showed in their
reciprocal desire to improve the
commercial relations between the
two countries.
The Philadelphia Press says !:
"The French reciprocity treaty adds
one more market to the work of the
DIngley tariff. For fifteen years
France has heen excluding our food
products, Diplomacy proved use
less to secure their entrance. High
duties on French goods have forced
a reduction on our own, and a large
addition to the profits of the farmer
are secured at the cost Of somewhat
lighter duties on Injuries, none Of
which interfere with American
manufactures.

Humanity Canvassing agents will
find in it book of remarkable inter-
est, and certainly OF extraordinary
stability. The history of the war
is told in picture and story, and in q
way that always characterizes the
brilliant pen of Senator Ingalls,. In
narratfng the incidents of this war
he finds grand scope for his superb
descriptive and analytical powers.
The theme is worthy of the author,
and the author is worthy of the
theme. It is published by n. D.
Thompson Publishing Co, of St.
Louis, Mo. 1t will be monumental
work that will not only be every
where read, but it will be monu--
ment to his genius that will outlive
in history his brilliant senatorial
career. The subscription book
trade and the canvassing agent are
fortunate 10 the fact that an author
of such rare ability has been enlist.
ed in its interest.

COT Bryan.

A short colloquay between al
ardent Bryanite and a moderate
sound money man developed the
fac, that Bryan was sure to be
wropged by Mckinley. Said the
silver man: "They won't give Bryan
chance TO add to his popularity by
becoming a soldier and colonel
Oh ! no, they made the call TOO small
for u regiment from Nebraska.
"Say did you hear the latest, quiet
" remarked Seund Money!" mo

ment from Nebraska and appoint
Bryan, Colonel "There, said the
Silyerite, If always knew they
wanted to get Bryan out of the
way, and Mckinley will make him
colonel, to get him killed and out OIL
his way" That fellow would moi
be satisfied, with or without the col
onelcy. Apropos, Of this, the Bal
timore Evening News, remarks
ut has finally been decided that
Mr.. Bryan shall be a colonel, and
that means that the patriotic free
silverites of Nebraska will defer for
a time their arduous labor of watch
ing the country cruelty itself upon a
cross of gold"
That is right. A change of labor
and cross of duty is practical

Mrs. Letters Gift of a Hospital.

CHICAGO, June 1.-The Tribune
says; The United States govern
ment will be the richer by a hospital
at Chickamauga Park within few
days through the generosity of Mrs.
l.. q. Letter. The illness among the
troops there was brought to her no.
tice some time ago, and she at once
began a correspondence with AS
sistant Surgeon General Sem to see
what might be done. Mrs. Letter
was told that a permanent hospital
to supply more comforts than the
ordinary field shelters was what WAS
chiefly needed, and the Chickamauga
Park Hotel, located upon the
grounds, near Crawfsh Springs, was
th ought to be most suitable. 1t is
this building which Mrs. Letter has
purchased for the government.

Deafness Cannot be Cared

By local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con
stitutional remedies. Dea fuess is
caused by an infsmed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube gets infam-
ed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result,
and Unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inhamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol.
lars for any case of deafness (csus-
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured
by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.
