AFFIRMED WITH COSTS.
Lower Courts Judgment in the Ma
nogue-Kearney Suit.

The Court of Appeals has handed down
an opinion, written by Mr.. Justice Morris,
affirming the Judgment Of the lower court
in the case of William II. Manogue, ap-
pellant, against Luke J. kearney.
The action was a suit at common law
upon promiSSory note and various items
of account, aggregatins the sum of $3.50,
which was claimed to be due from the ap-
pellant to the appellee, with interest. There
was a verdict in favor of kearney in the
sum of s3.1S5.32 being 81 cents In excess OF
the principal sum claimed. A motion IN
arrest of Judgment was filed on the ground
of alleged excess over the amount claimed.
The motion was overruled, and Judgment
having been duly entered upon the verdict,
Manogue appealed to the Court OF Appears.
The controversy is over the sum OF 81
cents" says Justice Morris in the opinion
why such a case should be brought to
this court when there is no substantial
principle of law involved is not apparent
1t would appear TO be an abuse of the right
of appeal. And why the appellee did not
prevent such abuse and the expense of ap-
peal by remitting the paltry sum in cOntro-
versy from the verdict and having judg-
ment entered for the principal sum only Of
81, 1S5 passes our comprehension. 1t would
appear that both parties delighted in the
pleasure of appeal.
The case does not deserve serious con-
sideration. 1t is plain that there is no
foundation for the appeal, and no founda-
tion for the motion in arrest of judgment
upon the denial of which the appeal is
based. The claim of the declaration is for
s31S5 and interest. The verdict is for
ST. 1882. The 81 cents must be regarded as
the amount Of interest allowed. How the
jury reached this amount ii is unnecessary
to conjecture. Under the declaration they
could have allowed considerably more per-
haps even several hundreds of dollars In

within the scope of the declaration The

CHANGE IN SENTIMENT

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, March B.-The Pat
terson congressional redistricting bill, which
passed the senate almost unanimously and
was expected to find equally easy sailing
through the house, has struck rock and
is in imminent danger of being wrecked.
AS stated in The Star at the time of the
passage of the bill in the senate, it proposes
to leave the districts stand during the
present decade just as they were in the
last one. Senator S. NJ Patterson, who
was the author Of the measure, let 1T be
understood that the measure had the sane
ton of Senator Hanna and General Dick.
This is denied now, and both Senator Han
ma and General Dick are quoted here as
being opposed to the Patterson measure.
However this may be. it is an absolute fact
that DR.. Marion Hissey their confidential
political man here, was advising that no
change be made in the present dlstr1cting
scheme about the time that the Patterson
bin made it's appearance
What Foraker's Friends Want.
The friends of Senator Foraker in the
house are determined that this dlstrict and
the Dayton district shall be made repub-
lican if possible. The friends of Represen-
tative r, NJ Nevin are doing heroic work
in his interest, but in the case of the capt.
tai district the work can hardly be said to
be in the interest of Representative Iomp-
ktnS The latter has given little satiSfac-
ton to the party leaders and it is pretty
generally understood that he is not to re-
ceiye the nomination for Congress It's fall
in any event. However, If the district is
left as it is a democrat will certainly be
sent to represent it. Mr.. Tompkins' elec-
tion was secured by tremendous effort
and much more aid from the party outside
the district, and. indeed. outside the state,
than will he likely to be given again. Mr..
LentZ. the democratic candidate, had made
himself very Objectionable to the majority
and they We're determined to retire him If
possible. Matters are assuming such shape
in the democratic party here that Lentz
seems likely to be the candidate of the
democrats for representative again this
year and unless the district is changed will
probably be elected.
Plans as to Delaware County.
1t is proposed either to make the county
district by itself or to take Delaware
county from the eighth district and place
it with it. The latter change Is likely to be
adopted, for the county left to itself would
not be thing republican district. 1t
is quite close and with the general trend of
the gold democrats back into the party
that has set in, the chances would rather
be with the democrats in a county election
But eighth district republicans are not in
favor of losing the republican county of
Delaware from their district, and there is
likely to be a long fight over the matter
General GroSyenOr and Representative
Southland of Toledo have written to men,

Mr.. Bryan expressed himself as being
greatly distressed over the sudden death Of

thoroughly devoted TO the principles of the
democratic party.
Asked regarding the probable outcome Of
the campaign of 1904, and who the candi-
dates were likely to be, Mr.. Bryan replied
Il do not care to discuss national poll
ties at this time, further than to say that
j believe the republicans are learning more
about Imperialism than they knew during
the last presidential campaign, and to reg
ister the belief that the colonial policy will
