Supreme Court Decides the Ken
tucky Gubernatorial Dispute.
THE DEMOCRATIC CLAIMANT WINS
Chief Justice Fuller Say a the State
Courts Were Adequate to Set
tle the Contest;
WASHINGTON, I May 21 The
United States Supreme Court today de
cided the Kentucky j Governorship case
in favor of Governor .Beckham, dismiss
ing the writ of error: from the Kentucky
Court of Appeals. I The opinion was
handed down by Chief Justice Fuller
this morning and a vigorous dissenting
opinion was delivered by Justice Har
lan, Justices Brewer, Brown and Mc
Kenna also dissented from portions of
the opinion. j ;:,
! The opinion was handed down by
Chief Justice Fuller, and the case dis
missed for want of jurisdiction, it be
ing held that determination of cases of
this character and all contents for state
officers rmist; necessarily be settled by
the political branch of the Government
That branch had acted in the Kentucky
case when the general "Assembly took
jurisdiction. Tjiicrej was no appeal from
the Assembly's decision, which was fa
vorable to Goebel j aurl Beckham,, ex
cept to the tribunal of the people, which
tribunal, the Chief justice: said, was al
ways in session. j i!
I He also said the case was purely a
state case that Kentucky was in full
possession of its faculties, as a member
of the Union and there was no tmer
kency which ! called for 1 interference.
Chief Justice Fuller said:
"It is obviously 'essential to the In
dependence of states, and to their peace
and tranquility, and, their power to pre
scribe the qualifications or their own
officers, the tenMre; of their offices, the
jmanncr of their 1 elections and the
grounds on j which tribunals before
which will be, and the mode in which
such elections may be. contested, should
be excluded and free from external in
tciicrence, except so far as, plainly pro
vided by the constitution of the United
;State, and 'where -controversies over
the election of state officers have reach
led the state courts m the manner pro
vided and have been determined in ac
cordance with state" legislation and laws,
the" cases must be necessarily rare in
which the interference of this court
can be properly invoked.",
KENTUCKY CELEBRATES.
1 Frankfort. Ky.J May. 21. Fire bells
wore rung, and wild demonstrations fol
lowed on the streets oh the part of the
Democrats, when news of the decision
at Washington cameT" The decision of
the United State Supreme Court in
favor of Governor Beckham means
there will be the hottest election in Ken
tucky, for Governor, next November,
that was ever known in- the common
wealth. Beckham, as Lieutenant-Governor,
can serve only until the election
of bis successor at the next clcctioni
It is thought Beckham will be the Dem
ocratic nominee, and former Governor
Taylor, the Republican nominee. The
main Republican , issue will be for the
repeal of the Goebel law.

The Next Vice-President.
This is the question now agitating
the minds of our leading politicians,
and while several prominent men have
been suggested, the final selection will
undoubedly be the man who will serve
the party interests to the best advant
age. This is also true of medicine.
When your stomach becomes weak and
you', suffer from : dyspepsia, indigestion,
constipation and Hatulency or when in
need" of a medicine to build up your
system or restore, your appetite, you
will make no mistake if you try that
sovereign remedy, Hostetter's Stomach
Betters. It is backed up by fifty years
of cures, and is recommended by many
prominent physicians. It is also an
excellent medicine for malaria, fever
and ague, and can be had of any drug
gist. Be sure to give it a trial.

a newspaper from a boy who came
through the car, but the conductor

PAYING F0RBU1 TEE
WO CBEAUERIF.S DISTRIBUTE
BIG BUMS OF MONEY.
Yesterday was Pay day at tbe Com
mercial Street Faetorj-Two
Valuable lustitntions.
The fact that the Salem Creamery
Company, which is the one under Jh'e
management of George D. Goodhue,
whose place of business is on Commer
cial street between State and Ferry
streets, was paying ,off its patrons yes
tcrday, suggested to a statesman re
porter some inquiries in regard to the
business so far as it has progressed.
Several of these checks were seen pass
ing from hand to hand, and no douot
they paid many accounts - in this city
yesterday. It was found that the Sirlcm
Creanery Company pays otf its patrons
three times a month, and that there are
about 142 of them now furnishing milk
and cream, with the number increasing
daily; and that it takes about $400 a
week to pay them off. or Over ?iooo a
month. The patrons are receiving: 14
cents a pound net, for their, butter fat,
from this company. Besides these J42
patrons furnishing milk and cream,
there are about sixty other patrons.
ivina too far away or off the routes,
who furnish the butter fat in the gran
ular form, from which two grades cf
butter are put onto the market by this
company. 1 nese are not mcivraea in tne
$400 a week payments, as they receive
their money upon the delivery ot tneir
product.
THE OTHER CREAMERY.
Further inquiry by telephone, at the
White Clover Creamery, belonging to
T. 'M. Townsend. and located on fcast
State street, elicited the ' information
that, this institution now has about 175
patrons, and that they are making 300
to 400 pounas 01 uuiier x uj. uvj
will make 40O nounds today (Tuesday).
They pay 15 Cents a pound for thebut
ter fat, and their checks are given out
on -the 10th of each month. A little
mental calculation will result in show
ing that their payments "to their patrons
for butter fat must run up over $1500 a
month.
Thus it will be seen that these two
creameries are distributing here ovet
$mno a month in cash, for they employ
a numoer 01 men m k1"11 -x"
and cream and manufacturing it into
butter.
.Will it last?
Of course, the amount of milk and

minish considerably as the dry seasm
advances and it . may not, for the
farmers who are supplying them are
making preparations lor green teed tor

are increasing their herds; besides, otner
farmers, who are not now patrons, are

It has long been desired to construct
a .hawser, or cable for ' towing vesse
fintS A
that should be able to act also as an
electrical conductor between the two
boats, so that signals and messages
might easily be interchanged. As such
a cable must possess very great strength
and elasticity to withstand the heavy
strains to j which it is subjected, and
at the same time be highly flexible, the
problem presented in the design of a
suitable electrical circuit for incorpor
ation withjit has been most difficult. It
is said to pave been salved with prreat
success by two Belgian engineers. Their
method is j extremely simple. Two ca
bles or conductors are formed of -fine
copper wire wound -in spiral form
around co;es of hemp. The cores are
about one-eighth inch in diameter, and
the wire spirals surround them much in
the same way that the wire is wound
on a guitar string. These conductors
are sewed with hemp and insulated
with a yielding rubber tape, the two
together, with other strands of hemp or
wire forming the middle "lay" of the
hawser. Jf the towing cable thus
formed stretches a little under heavy
strains, the spiralled wires simply open
out without breaking. It is stated that
after a. test consisting of one hundred
stretchings of such a cable, under a
pull of 4 800 pounds, the electrical qual
itics of its wire circuits were un
changed, j V : . ' '.

Editor Sta"tesnan: I j
I did not meet with the success I

southern ' part of the county in the in

have thej wrong idea of the workings
of the association; they! think it is go

can become an officer unless he is a

wants and knows that hi constitu

tain that reason fort delay could be
offered so long a great transporta

If any measure has j opponents, and

that one is the Nicaragua canaL Sena
tor McBride has cut the Gordian knot
that has held it so far, and- can be re
lied on to do all that he possibly can
to induce the completion of the canal.
He was able to do as he did by being
a member of the important I ntcroccanic
Canal Committee.
Senator McBride has reported from
the Public LaVida Committee an amend
ment to thc billj pending for the relief
of dispossessed settlers on The Dalles
Military Road land grant. This re
port will be the basis for legislation
next winter to. enable those settlers to
buy title from the Eastern Oregon

Messrs. Moody and 'McBride have con
sulted precedents and grce on .this as
the only way for which there is prece
dent in such cases, or that offers hope
for 'success.
As these settlers are . within Mr.
Moody's district, he has taken all pos

Mr, Tongue has made a reputation
as an orator, which is recognized by
managers of public occasion. Two

Republicans in Congress should have
an interview with the -rrcsiucm. to
show the deep 1 interest the Pacific
States take in 1 the Nicaragua canal.
.This helped the large vote by which
the bill passca the House.
Mr, Tongue has been unremitting in
