The force numbers quite a body of

and much Indignation was expressed.
Constable William Goad heard of 1t

work. He had not gone beyond Eighth
Street before he was met by citizens at

OYER THE
SUPREME COURT
Judge Holding Sets Aside It's Action
In Renting Sentence OF E. B.
Cole, Saloon Keeper OF Mt. Pleas
SAINT.

Lawrenceburg, Tenn, April 18.-Ir
the Circuit Court of this county at it
last term, E. B. Cole, of Mt. Pleasant
was convicted of selling whisky with
out license and given a sentence of six
months in the county Jail and $50 fine
and the COSTS He appealed to the
Supreme Court, which affirmed the
Judgment, but RENTED the six months
| imprisonment.
The case was called in the court here
Saturday on procedendo, when Judge
Holding set aside that part of the pro-
cedendO relnittlng the sentence, upon
the ground that the Supreme Court
had no right under the law TO modify
the Judgment of the Circuit Court in
such cases. Judge holding insists that
the pardoning power rests alone in the
executive department of the State gov
eminent and that in the law of 1897.
under which Cole was indicted, there
is no discretionary power given either
Court to remit imprisonment.
The defendant has applied for and
been granted writ of habeas corpus,
which comes up for hearing before
Judge Hart at Nashville on April 81.
The writ was granted by Judge Chill
dress.
This case will doubtless attract wide
spread attention. as the question has
never been raised In this State. The
conviction was based on the order
business, and the Supreme Court set
aside the Imprisonment because there
was controversy at the time of the
transaction as to whether such taking
of orders was violation of the law or
not, as the case similar in nature
against G. B. Campbell, from the
same town, had been reversed the term
previous to the last, the court holding
that the sale was made in Mt. Pleas
ant, where the delivery was made to
the express company.

AMENDMENT IS

'STANDPATTERS' III A HURRY
FOR CUMMINS TO RETIRE.
Proposed Biennial Election Amend

Term Until 19O6-Democrats and
Labor Men Also in the Lists Against
the Change.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. IA determined eff
for lis being made to defeat the pro-
posed biennial election proposition at
the election this fall for the pur-
pose of retiring Governor Cummins from the
office of governor early possible. That
there Is concert in the action is evidenced by
the fact that such state papers and sta tie poll
ticians have been continually fighting the
governor out hatfootedly against the pro-
posed constitutional amendment. 49,.
The amendment provides for elections bfen-
nially, beginning with the year 1906 At present
a part of the officers of each county, and of the
state are chosen each year. If the amendment
carries there will be state and county elections
only every two years. s..
Many arguments being urged against the
amendment, but the real argument Is that poll
ticians want to get Governor Cummins out of Of
flee end out Of touch with public life at the end
of the next year. They believe that the popular
ity which surrounds his administration will
grow, and they do not want another year OF 1T.
If the amendment passes, Governor Cumm1ns
will hold until 1906 as will oil state and county
officers. The fact that there is likely to be a
enatorial succession in Iowa within the time is
not forgotten. If the governor can be retired
next fall and one Of the "old guard" substituted.
the interests long in power feel that it would
be much better for them. The death Of Senator
Allison at any time would necessitate an appoint
ment, and the longer Governor Cummins remains
in office the greater the probability that he may.
be called upon to act upon the senatOrship.
