Washington. February 1.-THE debate
upon the legislative bill I'm the house to-
day strayed from the bill touching the
question of government deposits in ma

caustic things were said on both sides.
The reported contested election case

Alabama district. was submitted. The
majority reported In favor of the contest

Speaking generally about the clerical
force in the department, Mr.. Hemenway
provoked something of a storm by as
serting that departments were filled with
incompetents who were kept in by polit-
zeal influences He said whenever the
head of a department proposed to dis

A Trust and Not Property.

The Judge cited the United States su.
preme court decision in the Sawyer case
124 u. S. ZOO and said 1t was claimed by
compliments that the Sawyer case did not
apply because in this case it Is averreG
that the office is property.
The judge held that public office ir
Kentucky is not property, but trust
where the compensation Is only for SER
vices rendered. 1t is not even a contract
Referring to the claim that the Kentucky
courts practically denied a hearing. he
said:
1t IS said that there Is Inadequate
remedy here because the courts of
Kentucky in which this action would
have to be brought are two years be-
hind in the disposition of their bUsl-
ness and "a decision would be long de-
layed. II is hardly suf1cient ground
for appeal to a federal court of equity
that state courts of law are too busy
to do justice. The delays incident to
quo warranto proceedings as a reason
for justifying equitable interpositlon
was certainly brought to the attention
OF the supreme court IN the sawyer
case because Chief Justice Waite. In
his dissenting opinion, comments on
1t and suggests ii as his ground for
withholding his concurrence from the
doctrine laid down by the court that
under no circumstances had a court

Injunction to prevent q removal from

Deciding Case Unmistakable.
The case of in re Sawyer is a lead
ing case upon the subject and settles
couclusivelY for this court the prin-
ciple which must obtain in the eXer-
else of the injunctive power of court
of equity. The case is so elaborate
that any Other citation of authority
and any discussion upon the princi-
pie which 1t receives are wholly SUI
perfuous / should have been able to
decide this question at the close of
the argument: but the Importance of
the interests involved and the outra-
geous character of the electoral frauds
under the forms of law which the
bills charge that the state contest
board Is about to conSummate have
led me to give the question presented
fuller and more careful investigation.
This has only confirmed my first I'M
preston and requires me to make an
order denying the motion for a pre-
liminary injunction in both questions.

they had no doubt either of the ultimate
possibility of a hearing Of these cases
In the United States court as indicated
by Judge Taft or of the final result, out
at present counsel could not say What
would be the next procedure. rhe foiioW-
ing is the decision of Judge Taft In part:
The injunctive process of the court

at is sufficient to hold, as I do,
that a court of equity cannot by pro-
cess of injunction prevent the re-
moval of an officer from his office.
His remedy must be at law by quo
