Many years had elapsed since the "inCom'

years Justin Maxwell, a man with heart emil,

eminently appreciative of domestic joys, had

FRANCIS w. RICE, formerly United
States consul at Aspinwall and Acapul-
co, has addressed letter from his resi-
dence at SacO, Maine, to Secretary
Robson in relation to q report that
Commander Lull seems TO favor the
Nicarsugua to Pansma route for canal
To connect the Atlantic with the Pacific
ocean. Mr.. Rice says that after resi-
dence Of eighteen years on the isIhmus,
eight Of which were passed as United
States consul, he can speak Of Panama
As more healthy than Nicaragua, and
adds, "With as favorable conditions for
a living, either country is as healthy as
Vermont or New Hampshire" Mr..
Rice concludes his letter by saying the
Panama route would be six hundred to
seven hundred miles nearer than the
proposed Nicaragua route to the great
cities and rich trade Of the south Pacific.

A SENSATION AMONG JURORS
The New Jury Law Recently Derided
by Ihe 9agfstrates of Davidson
County Declared not Yet
in ROTCe.

EDITORS Yesterday quite
q stir was created in the circuit court
rooms when it was announced that the
law providing that the fees OF jurors
shall be paid by the losing party, had
been in force for some time past, uns
known to the courts as well as jurors.
Knots Of the latter were seen in many
corners Of the courthouse taking legal
counsel and wisely discussing among
themselves the perpleXing questions,
legal and constitutional, involved in the
case. Not few doubtful compliments
were paid our worthy representatives,
The substance of the difficulty appears
to be in the inability Of judges and law
yeTs to cOnstTue the act in question and
determine when the same weEt into
operation. 1t appears the act Aforesaid
wss vetoed by the governor, and re-
turned and passed over the governors
veto, but bears the date OF the original
passage, and not the date Of its last
passage. This act does not provide when
the sd ne shall go into effect, and the
question for the courts to decide is
"When does il take effect?" Section 20,
article 2, Of the new constitution pro-
vides that "NO law of q general nature
shall take effect until forty days after
its passage, unless the same or the cap.
ton shall state that the public welfare
requires that it should take effect soon
err This is an article OF Limitation,
and forbids the legislature passing an
act making laws Of a general nature
take effect sooner, without stating In
each act as shove required, but the leg
islature is certainly competent to pass
a general law postpOning the operation
Of laws of a general nature not otherwise
provided in the same-say to forty or
fifty days after the adjournment of the
session. Such legislation is not incOn-
sistent with the above provision Of the
constitution. Section l62 OF the code,
which was in force when the new con-
stitution was adopted, says: "NO gen.
eral law passed by the general assembly
shall go into operation, or have binding
effect, until the expiration OF forty days
after the adjournment without day,
unless otherwise provided for in the act
itself" This act is not in conflict or
inconsistent with the section Of the con-
stitutiOn quoted above. Section l ar
ticle new constitution says: "All laws
and ordinances now In. force and use in
this State, not inconsistent with this
constitution, shall continue in force and
use until they shall expire or be altered
or repealed by the legislature" Then
the question recurs, is section l62 Of the
code inconsistent with the provision Of
the constitution, and therefore snnulled
thereby, or otherwise and in full forceP
II the latter land l assume that it ls),
theh the jury law in question has not
gone into effect 80 yet, because forty
days since the adjournment OF the ses-
sion on the twenty fourth OF March have
not elapsed. This is but fair construc-
ton, aud l trust the proper tribunal will
act accordingly. OUTSIDER.

A TELEGRAM from. Washington yes
terdsy, is to the effect that Secretary Of
the Interior DelsDo positively denies
that the President has, either in writing
or veroslly, requested his resignation or
given him reason to suppose that any
complaint or charges have been made
affecting the integrity Of the Interior de-
partment or his administration Of its 81
fairs, but in response to a question
whether he now intended TO carry out
his original purpose Of resigning, DelanO
made no definite reply. The President
was also interrogated yesterday as to the
truth of the statement that he had re-
qlested Delano to resign, and gave to it
an emphatic contradiction.
