The Man Who Knew.

Once in a great while a man
can stand on a street corner in
Detroit and ask a question which
can't be answered, but such in.
stances are very rare. Yesterday
noon when an old citizen made an
inquiry of a crowd at the posIol-
flee, it wasn't a second before he
was being answered. He started
out with the remark that he was
nearly sixty years old, and ended
by asking:
"Can any one tell me why we
have this warm spell called 10
dian summer
Yes, sill" was the prompt an
swer. "It is to give certain per
sons a chance to wash up and get
on a clean shirt before winter sets
in for good"
The old resident coughed sever
al times, took another look at the
sky and moved on. After he had
gone about a block he halted, sud
denly grew red in the face, and
exclaimed:
"Come to think Of it, ! 3clieve
that scoundrel meant to insult me,
and | wish | had knocked him
down"

Romanists and Baptists.

In reference to the growth of
the Roman Catholic Church in
America, the London Pail AIaU
Gazette states that a hundred
years ago there were not more
than 20 priests of the United
States; in 1900 there were sup.
posed to be 40; in 1880 the mum.
ber had risen 10 232, and in 164S
to 500. In ten years, from 1862
to 1872, the number of prists had
more than doubled, having grown
from 2,3l7 to 4,8O9. To 1876,
according to the official statistics
of the various diOceses, there
were 5,074 priests, 1878 ecclesi.
asticll students, and G,526 church
es or chapels of the Roman Cath
oIic rite within the territory of
the republic.
SO much is said about the enor.
nous growth Of Romanlsm in
this country, that it is worth
while to compare some OF these
figures illustrating the growth Of
aingle American Protestant de.
nomination. In 1875 the Catho-
lies are said to have had 5,074
priests and 6,528 churches. In
the same year the Baptists had
l3, III ordained ministers and 81.
225 churcbes-the growth of
ninety two years from 424 or
dained ministers and All church.

The Precise Truth.
fNew York SUM-

The Herald states with cor.
recmess the situation in which
President Tilden would be, if, in
the event of an irreconCilable dis
agreement about the returns from
the disputed States, he should be
declared President by the House
of Representatives without the as.
sent of the Senate:
"No President can exercise the
functions Of his Office without the
consent of the Senate. The first
act of a new President is to send
to the Senate the names Of the
men whom he proposes as MEM
bers of his Cabinet. None Of
them can be appointed without the
advice and consent of the Senate;'
and a Senate whose majority be-
lieves that a man who sends nom
nations has never been elected
President, and has no legal title
to the Office, will not even consid-
er his appointments, much less
confirm them. Nothing can be
more absolutely certain than that
neither force nor fnesse can
make a man President whose
claims to the office are not recog-
nized by the Senate.
This il perfectly correct, but it
iS equally the case that neither
force nor fneSSe can make a man
President whose claims to the of,
fee arenotrecognizedb by the House
of Representatives. Without that
House, the President can not
even get his salary, nor can a dol
lar be taken from the Treasury
for any Of the expenses of the Ad-
ministration.
Our system of Government is
one Of balanced powers, based up
on the cooperation of all the parts
and the assent OF the whole peO.
pie. When this balance and this
cooperation are thoroughly des-
troyed, the end is not far of.

Sharpe VS.. Dawes.
From the Pail Mall Gazette,

The question whether one man
can "meet," would to any one hut
lawyer appear barely intelligi
bic. Such a question has, howev-
er, lately occupied the attention of
the Court of Appeal in the case Of
Sharpe VS.. Dawes. The action
was brought for the amount Of a
call upon certain shares, which
call was made at a meeting duly
convened of company transact
ing business in the Summaries, -
Proper notice had been given, un-
der the rules, of meeting to be
held on the 30th Of December,
1874. On that dav at the time
appointed, only one shareholder
attended. Unmoved by the awful
solitude of the board room, be took
the chair and passed several res
oluIions, including a call of As. Cd.
per share upon the capital OF the
conn., any, and ending with a "vote
of thanks to the chairman" The
action was tried by Baron Bran
we'll last May, and the question
OF the validity Of the call was re-
served for the Queens Bench Di-
vision, where Mr.. Justice Black.
b1rn and Mr.. Justice Quain held
that, as the meeting was properly
convened and as there was no pro
vision for a quorum" in the rules,
resolution passed by a single
shareholder was valid. This de-
ci>ion, however, has been reversed
by the Appeal Court.
