Opinion in Civil Service Case.
WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH EXECU
TIVE RIQHT OF REMOVAL.
The Supreme Court Reverse the Opinion
of the Circuit Court in the West Virginia
Litigation.
Justice Harlan yesterday hand
ed down the opinion of the United
States Supreme Court in the cases
of A. B. White, collector of inter
nal revenue for the District ol
West Virginia, against Berry,
Butler and Iiuckmau, appealed
from the Circait
United States for
Cdurt of I
West Virginia.
The appelles were guagers and
storekeepers at the Hannis dis-j
tillory,; in West Virginia, and Mr.
Wrhite, who was appointed to the;
office of internal revenue collector
by Mr. McKinley, announced his
purpose to remove them and ap
point Republicans to their places.
Thev resisted removal on the
s ....
ground that as they were em-
-plovod under the civil service law
they could not be removed except,
for cause shown and proved. ..j
In the West Virgina Circuit
Court an Order was issued sus-
taining the appelles -and- "res-
' training: and inhibiting AVnite
f from in any wise interfering with,
the plaintiffs in the possession of
their offices and the discharge of
their duties." . j
It was contended on behalf of
tho government that the Circuit
Court, sitting in equity, as it did
in the case, was 'without jurisdicH
tion to entertain the suit. The
opinion yesterday accepts this
view of the matter, reverses the
Circuit Court, and does not there-
foro enter upon tho merits of thq ciate with your wives and daugh
