The story that Landis is to be given the congressional nomination, and then turn it over to a* Montgomery county man, has aroused Hamilton county, and the members of the Landis faction are busy making a strong dental. Hamilton wants the Congressman, if Landts is out of the way, and unless Landis can square things, it is intimated that Hamilton county will throw its delegation to some one else. As the matter now stands, Landis, it Is asserted, will be renominated without opposition, unless some of the other candidates for Governor take advantage of the ebunty story to work up opposition to him. y CONTESTS THE WILL.

Attorney-General Interprets

Fse and Salary Law.

ITis Attornsy-Gensral to-day gave William A Wilkins, secretary of the State Fee and Salary Commission, an oral opinion, to the effect that county clerks are not entitled to any fees, except those collected by them. If the fees for any work have been collected by an outgoing clerk, he must do the work for which he hss collected the fees, even though

he hay have left the office.

The opinion was given In response to sn inquiry from Hamilton county to the Fee and Salary Commission, the county clerk saying that he could not get fees taxed by his predecessor for whom he was doing work. . The Clay county clerk says he can not get allowances for extra work. In the period from November, IMS. to March, UM. he received In all for extra allowance only 11.43. This was for postage stamp#. He says that tha county council has appropriated money for an investigation of the county books, but that the county commissioners decline to expend

the money for that purpose.

Bags Dr. Lsjrds it the Representative k;; of the Trauavaal. j Washington, D. C„ January Montague White, the South African dlplomate to-day, authorised the following statement: The Impression that is saM to exist In certain quarters that Dr. Leyds is not recognised by foreign powers a* the diplomatic minister of the South African republic on account of Great Britain’s suserainty, is false. Dr. Leyds Is credited to, and fully recognised as minister plenipotentiary of the South African republic by the following powers: Russia, Germany, France, Holland, Bel«ium and Portugal. The South African republic wss represented st different courts to Europe and on the continent for many years past by Dr. Leyds's predecessor,

the] ate Jonkheer Beelaerte.

The suserainty was created by the convention of 1881, but was abolished by the convention of 1864. In U87 it was suddenly revived by Mr. Chamberlain. The government of the South African Republic strenuously repudiated the claim and they have been supported in this by every international lawyer of note on the continent as .well as by such eminent authorities as the president of Weeley, Sir Edward Clark, and 8tr William Har-

court, to Great Btflhite.

In the international status, the South African repubUc is moreover recognised by Great Britain by the following extract from the officially quoted tetter of Lord Derby, dated February 16, 1884: “Your government will be left free to govern the country without Interference and to conduct Us diplomatic intercourse and shape its foreign policy subject only to the requirements embodied in the fourth article of the new treaty, namely, that any treaty with foreign state* boall not be effective without the approval of

the Queen."

CASE OF DISCHARGED POLICE.

City Attorney Kern Files HU Brief With Judge Carter. John W. Kern, city attorney, has submitted to Judge Carter, of the Superior Court, his brief in the case of the discharged policemen against the Board of Safety for reinstatement. The brief is simply * review of the decisions submitted to the court by counsel for the plaintiffs. Mr. Kern states that he has examined ail the cases cited, except one, which he could not find, and says that nearly all of them Involve the construction of statutes not at ail similar to those under consideration in the present case. He thinks that the cases cited from Massachusetts and New York are decisions on the question involved in this case. If the Board of Safety may remove policemen or firemen or other employes for any cause, other than politics, by simply entering the reasons on record, then Section 96 must be regarded as entirely independent of the first part of Section 87, which provides that policemen and firemen may be tried for certain specified causes and may be subjected to certain punishments. If policemen and firemen can only be removed for the causes specified in Section 97, then the court must simply strike down the provisions in Section 96, which declares that they may be removed for any cause, other than politics. This, he says, the court can not do. WHITE MURDER TRIAL

It WU1 be Called in Criminal Court Next Week. Way man White, colored, charged with the murder of George Williams, also colored, at the Colored Odd Fellows' Hall, on the night of December L 1889, will be put on trial in the Criminal Court next Thursday. This will be the ninth murder case to come before Judge Alford since he took the Criminal Court tench, fourteen months ago. Ssven of the other eight defendants were convicted, and Judge Alford thinks this record was never before equaled in Marlon county. In all the cases combined the cost for fees of special counsel was only 340O, another fact of which the Court is proud. FOR THE POWER HOUSE.

Its Projectors Are Encouraged Over ~ Prospects. The stock company that proposes to build a power-house for the use of smaller manufacturers will be Incorporated In a few days. The committee to charge of the preliminary work has secured options on two or three sites, and has been encouraged by the way stock subscriptions have been coming in. There is prospect of one of the trust companies becoming interested in the enterprise.

Install a sort of permanent exposition of American products." and adds: "It Is impossible to ignore the fact that the project contains the elements of success; and the Americans, being practical men, who are not afraid to take risks and work on a large scale, will probably succeed."

Thus speaks Dr. Martin (Luther) on the Neobulo—this was a book favoring polygamy, written in Luther’s time: 'Whosoever follows this knave and boog, and thereupon takes more than one wife, and wants It to be aright, to him may the devil bless the bath In the abyss of hsil. Amen.'—E. E. vol. 36. p. 209. This Is Luther’s answer to au polygamists." RESOLUTIONS PASSED.
