Mr.. Dillon's Fidelity.

State Tax Commissioner Dillon's
fidelity to his trust may be appreciated
when It is known that the leasehold
tax decision will impose penalty up.
on his investments. In an interview
after the Supreme Courts decision
was announced he said:
"The decision is right and in equity.
The leaseholds should be taxed and
even II the taxation were unjust It is
the law and should be enforced. !
have not allowed personal feelings to
enter into this question. Almost all
of my money is tied up in oil leases,
which is proof against that"
MIR. Dillon's dismissal of selfshness
has been duplicated by Governor
Dawson, who is also interested in
coal and oil land enterprises. They
did not allow these considerations to
blind them to the laws of the State
and their unceasing championship Of
Just taxation OF all interests.-Wheel

An interesting thing in connection
with these warm June days is, that

ending with next Tuesday-a period
siof ten days--there is not a variation
5ofI one minute in the length OF the
day: On Saturday the sun rose at
4: :2s8A. NJ. and set at7:S2 p. NJ. No
variation from that is shown until
Thursday of this week when the time
y Of sun rise and sun set is 4:30 and
SSSS respectively, making no change
in the days length as can be seen.
The figures remain the same until
the following Wednesday when the
! sun rises at 4:S0 and sets at 1884

Tt E WEST M IAN WAS ON
rial YESTERDAY g

Z.
The libel. case Of Ran stalnaker or
Sam Montgomery VS.. the FairmontI
West; yirginian, was called yesterday
afternoon in Judge Mason's Court,
when Mr.. w. s.sMeredith, counsel for
the defendant, arose and demurred to
the declaration. He made 1t appear
to most persons present as very
faulty instrument. Mr.. W. S. Corn
well followed Mr.. Meredith for the
Stalnaker side, and acquitted himself
as well as could be expected, as It
was apparent to most members OF the
bar after Mr.. Meredith concluded that
there was, very little, II anything, In
the case. Mr.. Cornwell was assisted
by W. G. Conley, who was brought
hither by Montgomery from King
wood. Why he was brought here no
one. can tell. 1t wasn't because Of his
legal knowledge, for he doesn't seem
to possess any. He commenced tell.
ing what the Code says, when Mr..
Meredith told him that the Code had
nothing to do with the case, and then
he wilted-said no more. He really
made himself ridiculous In the eyes Of
the bar and spectators generally.
And yet this man Conley is counsel
for the B. and 0. in Preston county.
That company does not employ such
talent hereabouts. II picks for abil
