Washington, .May 25—In the United States supreme court, Justice Peckhatn handed down the opinion of the court In the case of L. E.

The decision was averse to Parsons’ claim that he was entitled, under section 700 of the revised statutes, to hold ids oliice fur four years, not- Withstanding the president’s order of removal. Justice Peckham said that while the appointment was for four years it might be terminated earlier at the discretion of the president. The judgment of the court of claims was affirmed. The determination of this ea«a has been looked forward to with intiyest, be cause of its possible effect upon me re moval of officeholders incident to the change of an ministration. Parsons was removed from the offica of United States District attorney in Alabama in I Mb'-, having been appointed in IhiW. He wrote a letter to the presi dent refusing to surrender the place on the ground that us lie had been ap- poi ited for a term of four years the E resident had no right to remove him efore the expiration of that time. He Las fought the case through the various federal courts on this theory, losing in the lower courts as he did iu the su preme court. Parsons has, however, not been in possession of the office during the con test. On the day that he was removed Ktnil O’Neil was appointed to succeed him and to him Parsons surrendered the office after an order was issued to him by the circuit court to do so. He prosecuted the case on another Ir jui that time.

C., May lunibia Daily Register, the recognized organ of the administration from 1899 to this time, the public printer and the ardent supporter of the dispensary law, has turned against tlio system. It says: •‘iso long as the dispensary is kept in Mfittics the evil inseparable from the Institution under that condition can never be eradicated. To keep the dis pensary out of politics is utterly im practicable under prevailing conditions, and with such u powerful engine under political Control the ends of equity and law can at any time be defeated by an unscrupulous hand upou the lever. "Tins is the great danger that is threatening tiie people by tiie dispen sary. It is folly to attempt to conceal it, and The Register, though a sun- porter of the system per se. would be derelict in its duty to itself if at this time and in the light of recent develop ments it did not come out boldly and from mediating should the other pow ers consider the previous couseut of Greece to be unnecessary. Germany’s action is regarded as be ing highly prejudicial to the prospect of a speedy conclusion of peace, as it I leads Turkey to believe the powers are disunited and encourages opposition.
