of appointment of the head of depart
ment or other appointing power to Of
Gee or place, where such appointment
is not in violation of law or without
authority of law"
Commissioners Insist on Their Point
The commissioners in their letter
contend that the appointments under
consideration were made in violation
Of the express terms of the law, and
quote numerous authorities to show
that the rules and regulations have all
the force and effect of law, and that
exceptions to these rules and regula-
tions can be legally made only in the
manner provided by the law. The let
ter says: THE only question left at is
sue is how, if at all, position once in
the classified service can be legally eX-
cepted or withdrawn from the require
ments of law incident to its classifica-
ton.
Appointments at Issue Declared Illegal.
"And it has already been pointed out
in the first part of this communication
ID that the law prescribes a certain
definite manner in which only the pos
ition can be thus withdrawn or eX-
cepted; (2) that in the case before the
comptroller the position was not with
drawn or excepted in the manner pre-
scribed; and 90 consequently the con-
clusion cannot be escaped that the ap-
pointment to the position in a manner
contrary to that prescribed was illegal
and void. and hence the person ap-
pointed was not entitled to any COM
pensation or emolument accruing to
the office"

Car Strike.
Cincinnati, July 10.-On June 1st a
committee of twenty men, appointed
by the Central Labor union of this city,
went to Columbus, Ohio, to propose to
the labor convention there certain par
agraphs they desired to be engrafted
in the platform of the Republican
party, as a condition of receiving the
support of the labor element. This
committee reported its wishes to the
labor convention and came home and
was continued on duty after reporting
to the labor council. Yesterday a meet
ing of quorum of this committee was
held, at which resolutions were passed
expressing a lack of confidence in the
executive committee of the labor con-
vention and discomfort with it's mac
tivity. A final resolution was passed
that this committee take steps at once
to call a convention and nominate an
Independent candidate for governor. 1t
goes without saying that Mayor Jones,
of Toledo, can have the nomination.
New Court RuIing on Strikes.
New York, July 10.-Justice Truax
in the supreme court has handed downa
decision which places labor strikes
under the interdiction of the law,
whenever they amount to a combina-
tion or conspiracy to prevent any per-
son from earning his livelihood in his
profession, craft, or business. The case
was an action for a permanent in
junction by one labor union against
another. Justice Truax's decision per-
manently restrains the defendants
from interfering with the members of
the plaintiff association or preventing
them from procuring and retaining
work.
Points From the Judges Decision.
Justice TruaX. in his decision, said:
"The evidence shows that the defen-
dants have entered into a com mbination
which in effect prevents and will pre-
vent the plaintiff and the other mem
bers of the plaintiff association from
working at his and their trade in the
city of New York. To prevent one
from working at any job in this city,
except some small jobs where Enter
pris defendant unionl men were not
employed, is to prevent him from
earning his livelihood in his profession
craft, or business. and such an set Will
be enjoined. The injunction hereto
fore granted is continued.
AmaIgamatfon of Glass Workers.
Muncie, Ind. July 10.-The National
Flint Glass Workers annual conven-

hundreds coming from neighboring

ing Park this afternoon. Sunday night
there was a meeting of delegates and
other flint glass workers with mem
bers of the green glass workers and
green glass pressers at Union Labor
hall. 1t was the first secret discus
sion of dhe matter of amalgamation
of the three organizations. The conclu-
sion to be derived is that the vote to
amalgamate will go through with a
whirl. The union will bind together
nearly 10000 glass workers.

THE GUILD CAMPAIGN.
1t Will Become Active in This City Mex
Week.

The contest between Curtis Guild, Jr.,
and John l.. Bates, for hold in Wor-
cester, will resolve itself into an active
campaign next week. The Bates men
have held two meetings and the speak
er's forces are arrayed.
Yesterday Frank L. Dean, who is
stated to be manager of the Worcester
end of the Guild campaign, was in
Boston, and returned last night with a
bright view of the situation. Although
the Bates constituency state that the
Worcester delegates to the state con-
vention have been bottled UP in at
least seven wards, the Guild men are
confident, and although not as much
open work has been done thus far, their
man has been quietly and persstently
pushed. The campaign will doubtless
begin in earnest next week.
Against the claim of the Bates men
that the Worcester delegates will go to
the convention solid for their man, the
Guild managers assert that the city
has by no means capitulated to the
speaker, but will, if indications can be
taken as criterion, go to Boston as
Guild men to man. As the first vic
tory is cited the selection Of Frank l..
Dean as member Of the committee
on resolutions for the state convention.
Mr. Dean is in close touch with the
Boston end of the campaign, and will
shortly organize for active and thor
ough work for Guild in this city

YTIS TURN COMING.

Expectations that anarchy will fol-
low thee assassination of President
Heureaux have raised the question as
to how soon the United States will be
compelled to intervene and set both
Haytian republics in order, for the pro-
lection of foreign residents and the
general relief of mankind The situa-
ton would hardly be the same as in
Cuba, for the Haytians and Domin-
leans manage their own affairs after
the peculiar fashion that has prevailed
in each section of the island since the
foreign yoke was thrown off Never
theless a republic tempered by assas-
sination is not comfortable place in
which to dwell, and from time to time
foreign complications have arisen to
cause our government real anxiety.
Moreover, since the PRONUNCIATION of
Secretary Olney's version of the Mon
roe doctrine, that the influence of the
United States is paramount in the
western hemisphere, the responsibility
| of our government has been somewhat
III,
We might view with indifference the
| throat-cutting of the various political
factions in either of the black repub-
lies and leave these peoples to work
out their own salvation or perdition, so
| far as they themselves are concerned.
but should the disorder assume a
| chronic form that interfered seriously
with the interests of our own citizens
| or those of a European power, 1t is
quite conceivable that our government
would be constrained to interfere.
One of the grounds for our action in
Cuba was that interminable disorder at
our very doors could not be tolerated,
| and If Spain could not or would not
suppress it, we must do it for her. This
argument would apply to one Of the
West India islands as obviously as to
another. The fact that in one case the
sovereignty vests in European power,
while in another it vests in the SOW
ereign people who inhabib the island,
can have no bearing upon the obliga-
tion to maintain order, however i'm
portant the distinction may be in other
| respects. The certain development of
Cuba and Porto Rico under American
| control seems likely to hasten the time
| when Hayti will have to reform or be
reformed. 1t is the central one of this
trio of islands, and in such close prox-
unity to both Cuba and Porto Rico,
that political and Industrial complica-
lions would seem inevitable.
Without doubt, it would be a great
benefit to the Haytians and Dominicans
if they could be brought under an Am
erican administration similar to that
which is promised for the late Spanish
possessions. There are few men of
wealth in both these little republics.
and possibly they might welcome a
| genuine movement for benevolent as
similation"; but they constitute only
meagre fraction of the inhabitants,
and race prejudice could be counted up
on to nullify whatever friendly efforts
they might be disposed to make. AS a
field for political missionary work.
Hayti seems to be the most discourag-
ing of all the islands that have come
or seem destined to come under our
surveillance or control

Mrs. McConkey Of Baltimore, a niece
of the late Samuel j. Tilden. Her an
nounced intention is to convert the
neighborhood into a sort Of Tuxedo
park, with residences for the wealthy,
who may fancy spending a portion of
the fashionable season in the midst of
this historic scenery. Presumably this
means that other people will have to
keep off the grass.
