The erich" standard of ex-
ccllence, fashion-correctness
and exclusive elegance which
has made for us a worldwide
reputation will be maintained
during the year at hand with
even a closer adherence.
That this is the only shoe
establishment in the city that
shows at all seasons OF the
year a fully complete assort-
ment of every sort OF foot
wear for which particular
dreSserS have need, is now an
indisputable fact. The most
fashionable people you will
meet on your rounds tomor-
row will be wearing Rich's
footwear.
The attention of young
women and young men who
are home from college for
the holidays is directed to
the showing we're making OF
college footwear - shoes
made especially for. such
wear, heavy enough to defy
dampness, yet light enough
to insure gracefulness and
individual style.

COURT HAS NO JURISDICTION.

The lawyers who are causing
suits to be brought in the federal
courts against the governor and
his subordinate military officers in
the field, acting under his orders,
for acts performed in suppressing
insurrection, ought to familiarize
themselves with the first princi-
Piles of government.
Every legal tyro knows, or ought
to know, that the chief executive
cannot be held liable, either civilly
or cri'nihally, for official acts, polit.
ical in their nature, or which in
volve the exercise of his Judgment
or discretion as governor.
This applies to all courts, state
or federal.
The like immunity covers his
Subordinates, acting under his Of
ticial direction.
That the suppression Of insur-
rection is the performance of a
political duty and the means to be
employed by the governor involves
the exercise of executive discretion
and Judgment, is a proposition so
self-evident that every intelligent
person can appreciate its correct
ness.
We have always supposed it to
be an accepted law that no court,
by injunction or otherwise, can in-
terfere with the governor in the
discharge of his executive or polit-
ical duties, involving in any de-
gree the exercise Of discretion.
1t is also a question we'll worthy

Oil steamer Fast ON Hatteras Shoals.
Crew Taken on.

NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 30.-After be-
ing imprisoned on the wrecked oil
steamer Northeastern, nine miles off
Cape Hatteras, for thirty-six hours
Captain Wilder and his crew of TWEEN
ty-one men have heen taken ashore by
the crews of Kinnakeet, Creeds Hill
and Hatteras life saving stations.
The big steamer is pounding Dia-
mond shoals under a terrific sea, and
the crew say it will be a total loss.
4 In a b~ewildering fog ON Tuesday
might the Northeastern, ON her way up
the coast from Port Arthur, Tex, to
New York with a cargo of crude pc
troleum, showed her prov into the
deadly sands off Hatteras and was
fast in the clutches of the graveyard
of shipping before her rew realized
what had happened.
This was at II O'clock, and before
day had come the gale that swept over
the country from the middle west had
struck the sea and waves were crash
ing over the helpless vessel necessarily.
The force of the wind and tide threw
her on her port beam, and the flood of
water extinguished her fires before her
|inaammable cargo could become ignit-
ed, Had this not been the case the
twenty-five men aboard the Northeast
ern would have met a horrible fate.

Business men in all parts of the coun-

ment to the constitution, fixing the
term OF president at six years, instead
OF four, and making the chief execu.
tive ineligible to reelection. By thi.
means they hope to prevent the too
frequent disturbance OF business dur.
ing partisan campaigns and to re-
move the inducement to partisan
trickeries in a president who is plotting
to succeed himselfa and is willing to pay
any price for q denomination. 1t is
not likely that this project will be
mentioned to any great extent thi.
year in the political platforms, but it
will be presented to congress at the
