Stuart Is Sim JUDGE.

In the Falloon-Stuart judgeship case
from Doniphan county the court last
week held that the senate had no au-
thoritY to declare the Office of Judge
vacant. 1t held that the only way a
Judge could be ousted was by two
thirds vote of both houses of the legis-
lature, and not by a majority vote of
the legislature. In other words, a
judge must be impeached. The senate
started out to try contest. It wound
up by declaring that Stuart was elected
on the face of the returns, but claimed
he was not entitled to the office be-
cause he gave man a cigar few days
before election, in violation of the cleo
ton law. 1t issued an order ousting
him, but he held on. The supreme
court held that the action of the
senate did not operate to create va
cancy or to remove the judge from of
fee. The opinion was unanimous.

The failure of the Philadelphia and

the line after Council had voted IL the
necessary franchises, has in a meas
ure discouraged the people. who Ia
bored with Council that the right of
way might be given It,.
Council recently voted the West

the right of way on Gay street, the
line to be built up 10 the borough line
