President Roosevelt will appoint a
negro to federal Office in Ohio. The
man selected is Ralph Tyler of Col
umbus, and he probably will be given
the place of surveyor of customs at
Cincinnati, the home of Senator For
aker, who has been fighting the ad-
ministration In the Brownsville mat
ter, taking the side of the discharged
colored soldiers.
The president has been impressed
by the professed friendship of Sena-
tors Foraker and Dick for the colored
race and believes that they should
have opportunity to show this is a
concrete way. 1t is understood that,
appreciating the strength of the pres
ident's position, the Ohio senators will
not oppose Tyler's confirmation.
At present New York is the only
Northern state in which negroes hold
federal office. On numerous occasions
in the past the president has desired
to appoint negroes in other Northern
states, but has been deferred by the
opposition of Republican senators and
representatives from those states.

Picking Peanuts.

The seeds of the peanut are planted
like beans, and when the vines have
come up and the nuts are ready for
harvesting the farmer takes cult
vator especially made for that pur-
pose and starts down the long rows.
On either side of this cultivator are
two long knives which sink into the
ground sufficiently to cut the taproot
of the vine. The same process Is gone
through with on the other side of the
vine The main root being thus sew
cred and the ground loosened, the
vines are lifted into shocks like corn.
They are cured by allowing them to
stand in the sun for about ten days,
when colored woman and children
are sent into the field to pick the nuts
from the vines. An average picker
will pick about five bushels a day, for
(which he is paid at the rate of 10
cents a busheL

injunction Against Letting Contract.

Bids for building a new Chautauqua
county court house at Mayville, at a
cost of s135,O0O, were opened at May
vile. AS the committee was about
to let the contract, its members were
served with a complaint in suit for
a permanent injunction brought by
taxpayers of jamestown and vicinity.
The authority of the committee to let
the contract is attacked on legal
grounds, but the protest which led to
the suit is based on current charges
that the passage of the resolution Of
the board of supervisors under which
the committee is acting was procured
by bribery.

The Week In conaress.

The time of both the senate and the
house this week will be taken up with
the consideration of appropriation
bills. In the senate the Indian bill is
now under consideration, while the
house has the river and harbor bill
under way. Several days will be re.
quired to dispose of each of these
measures, and when they have been
voted upon the senate will take up the
army bill, and the house the naval bill.
These four measures will practically
monopolize the time of the two bodies,
as there are many provisions in each
of them over which there is wide diff
ference of opinion.

Judge Walter Evans, in the fedora
court at Louisville, KY, has overrulet
the demurrer of the Louisville G. Nash
vile Railroad company to the equity
petition filed by Erasmus l.. and Annie
M. Motley, In which the latter sought
20 enforce contract by which the
railroad company agreed to issue an
nual passes to each OF the plaintiffs
during their lifetime.
The court says that the act of June
20. 1906, known as the railroad rate
bill. under which the railroad company
declined to issue the passes agreed
in January. 1907, should be considered
precisely as II, in its general language
there was an express exception ex.
cluding from its operation the com.
plainants' contract. In no other way
can the vested contract rights Of the
complainants be preserved.
The general tenor of the opinion is
to the effect that congress did not in.
tend to annul any previously made
contract founded upon good consider
alton. The court says. further, that
the passes issued the Motleys, while
called free passes" were not SO any
more than a ticket bought and paid
for. The demurrer of the railroad com.
pany, which was argued by Colonel
Henry l.. Stone, was based on the re-
bate law. which prohibits the issuing
of passes, the railroad taking the posi-
tion that this law ended its contract
with the Motleys.
