THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT MAT BE SITED BY A SUBJECT. Jurigo Sawyer's Ruling at San Francisco, Cal.—'The Centennial Celebration of the Adoption of the Constitution Other Item* of Interest. [San Francisco (Cal.) special.] In the United States Circuit Court in this city Judge Kawyer rendered an important decision. By this decision the demurrer of the United StatoH in the oano of The Southera Pacific Rail road Company vs. Tho United Stat* n in over ruled and a proposition laid down that the United States can l» sued bv a subject. Tho Southern Pa ifte Company brought suit against the Gov ernment in the Circuit Court "under an act of Congress March 3, 1887, entitled, "An act to pro vide for bringing suits against the Gov ernment of the United "States." It set up a claim to a tract of land against the United States, and asked that its title to the land be established in the petitioner by decree of the court. Tho lands are odd numbered, Sec tion A lying in the limits of lands granted by the Uniiod Slates to tho company by an act ap proved July, 18G6. The petitioner claims the acts alleged, if true, show the lands were sub ject to grant and that the petitioner has per formed all the necessary conditions. Its right to a patent is shown, yet the propter officers re fuse to issue one as required by law, and the pe titioner prays that it may be* adjudged entitled to a patent and have such further relief as may be agreeable to equity. Tiio United States demurs to this proposition on the ground that the court has no jurisdiction in such a suit and that the United States cannot be sued in such case. Tho Court then says "In thif. case tho claim is founded upon ft statute of the United States and UJKJII statutory contract, and that the value of the matter in dispute ex ceeds £1,(XX) and is less than r()00. If the mat ters alleged, then, constitute a titlo claim within the meaning of the term as used in the statute the United States is suable thereon in this court, and this court has jurisdiction over it concurrent with court claims. After careful consideration of tho matter I am satisfied that they do constitute a claim within the meaning of the act. The statute is remedial, and rexne* dial statutes are to be liberally construed." ONE HUNDRED YEARS. The Centennial Celebration, April 30» 1680 —A Red-Letter Day in Our Nation's His tory, Preparations are being made throughout the country for the forthcoming centennial celebra tion of the adoption of our National Constitu tion. The committee on general observance of the day in the Northwest has issued the follow ing: The purpose of this forthcoming celebration is to commemorate the adoption of our National Constitution, of which the 30th of April, 1839, will )e the one hundredth anniversary. New York and Chicago—the one tne commer cial metropolis of the East, tho other of the West—have adopted measures for the proper observance of the memorable day. In Chicago it is proposed that there shall be a suspension of business, an assembling of citi zens in all the churches, at as early an hour as nine o'clock, for religious services of thanksgiv ing and praise to God, after the manner of our forefathers, to bo followed by the gathering to gether in all of the public schools of their hun dred thousand or more scholars for appropriate exerciwes, addresses, and national music, and for presentation to all the pupils of medals as souvenirs of the patriotic occasion. Later In the day the adult citizens are to assemble in the largest halls to listen to distinguished orators, and finally the exhibition in tho evening of fire works, to conclude the patriotic programme. The title of "The Committee on General Ob servance of tho Day Throughout the North west" indicates its purposo, and this committee Is charged with the duty of publishing a brief outline of tho proposed celebration, not to dic tate to other committees any special form, or order of celebration, but to propose an inter change of views, to receive as well as to give suggestions, if desired. It wore needless to multiply words in extending a cordial and fra ternal invitation to our fellow-country men to appropriately celebrate this red letter day in our natiou's history to join, not in boastfulness, but in devout thankful ness to tho ruler of nations, for the prescience of our forefathers in devising that Constitution, vj.ichfor a hundred years has challenged the \«»r increasing admiration of mankind, and also i blessing the new-born nation with its first i'resident in the person of Washington, now the world's accepted type of the dignity and probity of the loftiest manhood and most exalted pa triotism. Not alone in cities, but also in the hamlet and on the farm, let us raise our flags and our voices in honor of the priceless heritage of our Consti tution and our Washington. Aud al*ve ail let our children, tho young to whose eharge the destiny of the nation is soon to be confided, be imbued with tho intensest love of country, and their loyalty to its proud memories and beloved institutions be so enshrined in their hearts as to insure the perjetuity of the republic. THOMAS B. BRYAN, Chairman. CHICAGO, March 10, 180). CLAKKSOX ON DECK. The Iowa Man Will Attend to the Gffire*. The Senate has confirmed the nomina tion of 3. S. Clarkson as irst Assistant Postmaster General, and he will have charge of the appointment of Postmas ters, and will have to do with this class of office-seekers more than any one else. J. 8. Clarkson was bom at Brookville, Ind., in 1845. He is the son and tho grandson of an editor. When 12 years old he removed with his family to a frontier farm in Iowa. Ho learned the printer's trade, and in 1800 went to work at the case on the les Moines Rtyixtrr. The fol lowing year he became city editor of the paper, and later bought it in connection with his brother. Mr. Clarkson early took an active in terest in iKlitics. In 1«09 and in the two fol lowing years he was Chairman of the Republi can State Central Committee. In 1J71 ho took a leading part in tho fight which resulted in tho election of Senator Allison and the defeat of Senator Harlan. Duiing this iolitieal struggle he was offered the Swiss mission by President Grant, but declined it. In ltfYii he was made Postmaster at Ies Moines, and held the ollice until 1H77. Then he attacked President Hayes policy, and after tendering his re^iiniation several times went to Washington and had it ac cepted. In 1870 Mr. Clarkson headed the Blaine delegation from Iowa to the Cincinnati conven tion, and has been at the head of succeeding del egations from the State since then. In 1880 Mr. Clarkson was chosen a memler of the Republi can National Committee. In 1884 he was a member of the Executive Committee and had charge of the work in Ohio which preceded the October election. His services as Vice Chair man of the committee during tho campaign which resulted in the election of Gen. Harrison are too well known to need telling. WORKS WHILE ASLEEP.
