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 various questions involved. Jus- ters, and you wi!l bring them to tico Harlan said: "If tho assign- their senses." This we heard him ment of some one to duty as- guager at tho Hannis distillery - : in tho place of the plaintiff did not work his removal frjm office ft court of equity ought not to assumo to control the ' discretion which tho 4 executive department has in all matters.

This country does not occupy the lead- ing place in actua cash, or its equivalent, on hand; but in its resources its acreage of roduc tive soil, its minerals, its general capacity to supply Itself and the outside world with indispensables it defies competition. The post has recently shown that a single State, imperial Texas, could easily feed all the people of the United States; it has reported our great increase of exports during the last fiscal year and our decreasing dependence on foreign sources for the products of skilled labor. These are cheering evidences of increasing wealth. , But there are pother quite as impressive. evidences The Engi- neering and' Mining Journal's annual publication called "The Mineral Industry," makes a splen did showing for the past year. The value of the total mineral productions of the country for the year 1897 exceeds the mineral output of any other country in tho world, nearly double that of Great Britain for 189C, the last year for which figures are availa ble, and surpassing that of all continental Eurore. including the mineral producing countries of rormnn T?Tnnna Germany, France, Belgium, Spain and Russia.

By reading the following taken from the Progressive Parmer of last week, our Populist friends will learn something about the "hearty; welcome" the Democrats propose to give them into their fold. It sounds very Democratic indeed, and comes from a dele- gate to their State convention: The ex-honorable, a lawyer; from Northampton county, after stating that he came to the Dem- ocratic convention instructed, but tne action ot ine cony ention was not in accord with his instruction but was right then proceeded to tell the convention how to treat the Populists. "Ask them to come back, and if they do not come," said he, "then treat them just as you treat tho negro. When they come to your liouse require them to come in at the back door with hat off.
