BOYD IS GOVKBS.OR. Decision by the Supreme Court In the Celebrated Thayer Case. Tbe United States Supreme Court has rendered its decision in the Nebraska Governorship case in favor of Mr. Boyd. The decision of the Court settles a long controversy over the right to the seat which the Supreme Court has given to Governor Boyd. It overrules the decision of the Supreme Court of Nebraska, holding that Mr. Boyd was not a citizen of the United Stales, and that Governor Thayer, whom he was elected to succoed, was entitled to hold over until a successor had been duly elected. The main question in the case on which the decision hinged was whether Mr. Boyd became a citizen ol tho United States without taking out naturalization papers, his father, a Britikh subject, never having become fully naturalized, although he had declared his intention to take out the necessary papers. The elder Boyd came to this country from Ireland when his son, tho plaintiff In the case, was a mere child. They settled in Ohio, and the father gavo notice of his intention to become a citizen. He failed, however, to become naturalized. Tbe son went to Nebraska when It was a territory, and was one of the foremost of the pioneers who developed it He laid several pu,biic offices, fought In the lute war, and was a momber of the convention that framed the State's constitution after it was admitted into the sisterhood of States. Nj one questioned Mr. Boyd's right to vote and to exercise all the other prlvllotes of citizenship. and it was not until after be had served for some timo as Governor of the State that the question concerning citizenship was raised. A long controversy ensued as to whether Boyd or the former Governc r, Thayer, was entitled to the seat. In reviewing Gov. Boyd's career, in which the public offices he held are detailed, the court says that the fact that he voted and for a long time held public offices is sufficient to establish his right to citizenship. The enabling net of Congress allowing the Territory of Nebraska to prepare itself for admission as a State recognized as citizens those persons of foreign birth in the Territolfy who had declared their intentions.

NORTH DAKOTA’S CROl*. Experts Put It at a More Conservative Figure. CoL Charles A Morton, one of tho leading grain dealers in North Dakota, takes exception to the crop statistics of 1891 furnished by Hie State Commissioner of Agriculture, H. T. Hilgosen. The latter holds that the average yield to tho acre in this State was twenty-three bushels or ovjr—the former says it is not over eighteen. A conservative estimate of the crop would make the latter flgura much nearer the truth, so that the total yield, instead of being 64,000,000 bushels, is nearer 50,000,000. There was an enormous crop, and the truth is good enough and the conservative estimate will do the farmer more good than the boom estimate. The Cincinnati Price Current gives North Dakota a crop of about 46,000,000 bushels. OIL IN MICHIGAN. Crude Petroleum in Paying Quantities Found Near Ithaca.
