The Bluff at BayOnbOng.

Lieut.. Monroe's achievement at Bayou
bong merits perpetuatton in history. His
device of tapping the enemys own teIe-
graph wire to announce his coming with an
army was stroke Of genius in itself. But
after that 1t required supreme courage and
nerve to carry out the bluff. Such a vic
tory is far more to be desired than the
blOOdiest success on the battlefield. 1t
goes further toward pacificatiOn than heavy
fighting. Those eight hundred and odd
Filipinos who surrendered to the superior
force" of hfty-two Americans must by this
time have a very decided notion of the
capacity of the newcomers. When they
have recovered from their chagrtn at being
blufed to a standstill they win doubtless
appreciate the fact that their affairs will
be well cared for by a people who can pro-
duce such Il genius as Monroe, who is but
type of his service. When the time comes
to pass around the decorations for distfn-
gulshed services in the Luzon campaign
repiete with gallant actions, this neryy
officer of cavalry must not be forgotten.

From the Chicago News.

Georgia's house of representatives by a
vote of 1877 to has refused to disfranchise
the colored voter. and ante bellum ideas
have thus been given as hard a setback as
they have received since "reconstruction''
days. The Georgian may indulge in an oc-
casional race war" but that oyerwheim-
ing majority indicates that he has not vet
fallen out of the procession of modern pro-
greSs.

possesses any virtue, should have been
made when the legal action was dis
missed, or before answering. Judge
Mediation read authorities which held
that it was not necessary, as formerly.
for the plaintiff to establish his right
by an action at law. Judge Mediation
said the decisions and authorities cited
by Mr.. Forbis were either not appli-
cable or were ancient and obsolete. He
had number of other decisions from
the supreme courts of Montana and
California and from the United States
supreme court which he claimed were
in point and which sustained his con-
tention that the court had authority
and jurisdiction to hear the equity case
and that the defendant was not entitled
to a jury trial. The statute, in ex-
press language, gives party the right
to Join as many causes of action as he
may wish, and to dismiss any cause
and proceed to trial on the other.
T. M. Patterson, for the defendant,
made the closing argument on the mo-
ton to dismiss. He said it was the
province of jury to determine the
fact as to whether one party or the
other was entitled to the vein, and upon
that finding by the jury the court would
say whether the plaintiff was entitled
to permanent relief by injunction or
not. The plaintiffs claim they have
iIo adequate ICHlcuS OF ld"' Jul thSy
have an adequate remedy, but they are
not satisfied with it. They want more
than a court of law could give them
and ask a court of equity to go farther
and decree the plaintiff to be the owner
of all the ore bodies and veins that lie
under a plane drawn at an angle of 10
degrees from the apex in the Johns
town lode claim down into the earth
under the Pennsylvania. Counsel for
plaintiff admitted the contention of the
defendant when originally they incor-
porated in their bill of complaint a
legal cause of action and recognized
that the title to the vein must be deter
mined before equitable relief could be
expected or asked for.
Mr. Patterson made a strong presen-
tation of the defendants case and
presented a number of new authori-
ties on the proposition that the de-
PENDANT could not be deprived of it's
right to a trial by jury. At the con-
clusion of the arguments, the court
took the matter under advisement and
announced that a decision would be
given on Monday.

1T IS A SAD CASE.
Alexander Fife Accuses His Mother of
Entertaining Strangers.

A sad state of affairs developed in the
police court yesterday when young AL
eXander Fife, charged with assaulting
his mother. was up for trial. The prose-
cutting witness did not appear, so the
defendant was discharged.
The young man, however, stated his
side of the case. He said that his moth
er who keeps a lodging house down the
slope. has been drinking and otherwise
conducting herself in a way foreign to
the minds of good mothers. He made the
startling accusation that he went to her
room and found her in the embrace of a
strange man. He proceeded to head
up'' the intruder, and his mother, the son
says took sides with her paramour and
caused to be issued a complaint against
her son for assault
The judge advised the young man that
whereas the mother persisted in drinking
beer and entertaining transient husbands.
tna best thing for him to do would be
to change his lodging house.
