A LONG DEFERRED CONTEST.
It Terminates just as the Average
Citizen Predicted and Desired 1t
Would.
Stanton g. Stanton Win Congratulate
tions on Their Able Presentation
of the Case.
A BRIEF RESUME.

The case of Isaac Mayer versus
David Sweeney anent the mayoral-
ty of Neihart has been settled by
the supreme court deciding in favor
of the defendant, thus sustaining the
Judgment of the lower court.
This case has resulted as the ma
jority of the people of Neihart wish
ed. A great many who voted "a
gainst Sweeney in the election Of
last spring have openly declared
their stand against the stubborn
fight which has been made to pre-
vent the mayor elect from taking
his seat.
But many others who aided the
opposition were sincerely desirous Of
knowing the true Interpretation Of
the statutes upon point which has
causel contention in other fields as
we'll as at Neihart The statutes,
section 4749 of the political code,
which furnished ground for the con-
test reads as follows:
S4749. "No person shall be eli
gible to the office of mayor, unless
he shall be at least 25 years old and
a taxpaying freeholder within the
limits Of the city," etc.
Mayor elect Sweeney was at the
time of his election freeholder, but
he had not yet paid any taxes on the
freehold. The ground Of contest
ants was taken that at the time Of
his said election he must have paid
taxes upon the freehold, The
courts opinion is that any freehold
er who pays taxes upon any kind of
property is a "taxpaying freehold
er" within the limitations of the
code. 1t was shown that Mr.. Swee-
ney was paying taxes upon personal
property at the time Of his election,
although his freehold had been but
recently acquired. The opinion of
the court is that if any taxpayer ac-
quire freehold by the time he off
ers to qualify for the office Of may
or, or if he acquire the freehold just
prior to the assumption of the du-

DEATH OF M. j. MEEHAN.
A Prominent and Highly Respected
Citizen Passes Away.

The following sad intelligence has
just been received, taken from the
Davisville, Cal, Enterprise, date Of
Jan. 13:
Deaths sad call took from our
community highly esteemed citi-
zen last Monday. M. J. Meehan died
in the Sisters hospital, Sacramento
Monday morning about II o'clock,
after an illness of three weeks. Death
resulted from Bright's disease and
was not unexpected. Since his col
lapse some time ago lie never i'm
proved and Sunday he was taken to
Sacramento where he could have bet
ter nursing, and death came when
none of his friends were near Ills
grandson, Maurice Karr, was on his
way to the hospital, but arrived too
late.
Maurice J. Meehan was born in
Limerick county, Ireland May, 1926,
where he remained until Is years OF
age, learning the shoemaking trade.
In AS he came to America, visiting
and working at his trade in New
York. St. Louis and New Orleans,
until in "a he crossed the Isthmus
and came to California. He worked
at mining in Nevada county, near
Forest city and afterward went to
Suisun where he remained IL years.
In '57 he was married to Miss Ellen
Riley of San Francisco to which un-
ion four children were born. In '69
Mr.. Meehan and family moved to
Phoebe, New, where death claimed
three of the children. In 1880 he
returned to his old trade, and began
business in Silver Reef, Utah, re-
naming there nine years. His eld-
est daughter, the only remaining
child married and few years later
died in Salt Lake. Mr.. Meehan and
wife and three grandsons then came
to California in 1891. Soon after
ward he conducted a shoe business
in Davisville and in '93 moved to

PROTECT OUR MARINES.

Said Franklin, at is easier to
Luild two chimneys than to main
tain one" And it is far easier to
build two steamships than to main
tain one. We can build steamships
cheaper than any other nation, but
the cost of sailing them is consider
ably more because wages are higher
in America than elsewhere.
What we need in America is not
cheaper vessels but sufficient pro-
lection to enable our merchant ma
rine to compete with foreign firms
in the carrying trade.
We pay s300,OO0,00O to foreign
steamship companies to carry our
merchandise over the sea.
Great Britain protects her mer-
chant marine to an extent that
makes her the mistress of the seas
iu the carrying trade as we'll as in
war.
Let America protect our mer-
chant marine equal to the protection
afforded by Great Britain and what
vast amount of employment it
would afford our wage earners in
in both building and sailing ships

ON THE SLIDE.

The following clipping from the
Anaconda Standard of last Monday
clearly indicates that the democl attic
party of Montana is gradually sliding
back into the the old line Cleveland
column, and that the paramount is
sue for the present is to relegate
silver.
The Standard is one of the news
papers that have felt that an exact
statement of the ratio is not vital
factor in silver's restoration. The ra-
tito is matter of law; it has varied
slightly in our own currency; our ra-
tito has also varied slightly from the
one that has ruled in some other
countries. The worlds exchanges
practically fix the ratio.
If the Standard continues in its
present course it will experience no
difficulty in supporting Mr.. Cleve-
land in 19O0.- -Philipsburg Mail.

owing year. He came back here and
in 1896 went to Nehart, Mont, to be
with relatives. He conducted a sue
cessful business and would have re-
manied but lie was advised by phys
icians to seek the California climate
so he returned TO Davisvlle about IL
month ago.
The funeral took place here We'd
nesday and was attended by many
friends. Rev. Hines conducted the
ceremony.
The deceased had stock of shoes
valued at about 5000 which he Wills
to his three grand children, John,
William and Maurice Karr, who are
all in this state. The latter has been
the constant companion Of his grand
father for several years and is now
in DavisviIIe To him Mr.. Meehan
bcqueathed his cash, about $3.50,
and his personal effects. The will
was filed for probate today, by At
torney Clark of Woodland. Thos.
Dee was named rs executor and
trustee Of the estate.
Mr.. Meehan was for long time
engaged in business at Neihart, on
ly recently moving to California for
the benefit Of his health. While
here the old gentleman acquired a
most enviable reputation for honesty
and integrity. His grandson is a
young man OF level head and steady
habits, possessing industry and ftu-
gality in a degree beyond his years.
He has endeared himself to every
citizen OF Neihart where his career
will be watched with interest. He
writes that his new guardian is a
good, honest man, and though The
loss of his grandfather leaves Mau-
rice with no relative to guide or ad-
wise him, he accepts the fiat of fate
very manfully. lie has decided to
enter the high school at Davisville,
and try to finish his education.
