IN 4 NUTSHELL.

The issue now pending between the Presi-
dent and the Democratic majority In Con-
a,ress lies in a nutshell. The President is
bound by his oath to preserve, protect and
defend the Constitution OF the United
" States.n One of the provisions of the Con-
s;itution is an explicit command, in these
words 4: He stall take care that the laws be
faithfully executed" He is not absolved from
this duty by any doubts Of his own as to the
constitutionality or wisdom Of law, nor can
he relax the care he has sworn TO exercise
because political party Ill Congress has
shown it's hostility to one of the statutes and
made futile effort to repeal 1t. The Demo
Gratis are opposed to the law passed nearly
decade ago to prevent fraud at elections.
There are but two constitutional ways OF
getting rid of a law-one by the concurrence
OF a majority Of both houses in a repeating
act and the approval of the President; the
other by two-thirds vote of both houses for
such an act after The approval of The Presi-
dent Is refused. The Democrats have tried
these two ways, and failed in both. The cleo
fion law therefore stands in full force, aud
the President is just rs much bound
by his oath to execute it as though it had
never been assaed. The Democrats have re-
sorted to method Of breaking down this law
which is wholly foreign to the Constitution
and abhorient to It's letter and spirit. They
have attempted to nullify it Icy refusing the
appropriation Of money necessary 10 give
il vitality. They have not only omitted from
the bill where such an item belongs
the required appropriation, but they have put
la its stead positive prohibition against the
sue of any public moneys to carry out the
law. Now they say to the President, APP
"Droye of this omission and this prohibition,
OF YOU shall have no money to run the
" limited States Courts" They demand that
he shall indorse with his signature an at
tempt TO nullify a statute, under penalty,
if he refuses, of having all the pro-
cesses of Justice in the Federal tribunals
stopped short They insist that he shall be a
co-copspirator with them to stifle law which
stands upon the same footing as all other
laws. and which he is required by the oath he
took when inaugurated to see faithfully ex-
ecuted.
The duty of the President at this juncture
is so plan that he cannot mistake it. He is
bound to resent all attempts 10 prevent
the execution of law, whether by lawless
mob in the street or a lawless party III the
halls of Congress. He must veto the Judicial
Appropriation bill, and appeal from passion
to sober sense for its passage without the pro-
visions which stab at the vitality of the Flee
ton Law. If Congress should adjourn with
out passing bill freed from these provisions.

manufacturing centres. The grain movement
also continues extraordinarily large. During
the four weeks ending June II the snip
ments of grain from the eight Western ports
amounted to 21,673,677 bushels, against
1907. 67S bushels last year. While the ship
ments by Lake are smaller by l,ooo'ooo
bushels than those of four weeks last year.
the shipments by rail are larger by 5,Ioo'ooo
bushels. The exports of grain during the
past eight weeks have exceeded those OF the
corresponding weeks last year by 3,2oZ'Jio
bushels of wheat and 1,075, $50 OF corn.
The prospects for large crops this Fall con-
tinue especially good, although some dIsquiet-

AN APPEAL From KANSAS.

We have more than once spoken III praise
of the efficient and large-hearted beneY0lehce
of the people of Kansas in providing homes
and employment for the negro refugees fleeing
from poverty aud oppression i'll the South.
selfish community would have repuised
these moor wanderers, and found ready ex-
cuse for the act in their ignorance and desu-
tufion e: but Kansas remembered the struggle
for liberty fought upon her own soil, and,
throwing open her doors, extended welcom-
ing hand to the immigrants, and endeayored TO
give them fair start in life of genuine
freedom. At first the unbidden guests were
cared for by local committees at the points
where they landed but IT was soon seen that
the work was going to be too heavy Tor the
river towns to keep mp unaided, and the
"Kansas Freedmen's Relief Association" was
organized at the State Capital. with Governor
St. John as President, State Treasurer Francis
"a Treasurer, and the Hon. j. {. Hebbard as
Secretary.
This society has done excellent work. 1t
has given assistance to over 5000 refugees,
provlding them with food and clothing, DIS
tributing them throughout the State and Sc
curing employment for them. For the funds
necessary to carry on this noble charity the
society is dependent on voluntary contributions.
Ii is now nearly ont of money, but It's labors
are by no means at an end. A letter from
Governor st. John to the Editor of The TRIB-
TINE saws that the tide of c0Orcd emigration
still continues TO flow NOrthward, and at least
ninety per cent of it goes to Kansas. Seventy
five ont of every hundred emigrants are not
ONLY scantIly clad but are destitute of food
and of the means to buy 1t, and require and
TO prevent starvation. Governor St. John Is
convinced, from letters received daily from
different portions of the South, that the exo-
dus will not only continue but will increase
if the negroes are permitted to leave, and lac
does not think the attempt to blockade the
Mississippi River against them will be long
successful. We have outlived the day III
" this country" he says, " when any law-abid-
ling human being who is willing to work for
"an honest living should be prevented from
:" gong wherever he may please to co."
Probably 40 one is better informed as to
the probabilities of a continuance and
of the exodus than Governor st. John and
when he says that the magnitude aud import
ance of the movement are not half appreciated
and that it is the greatest question and the
most difficult to solve of all we have had for
years before the American people, his state
ments should attract wide attention. Possibly
the exodus from the South will not be so
large as he anticipates, but there Is no likeli-
hood that the generosity Of the North will
outIun the pressing wants of the poor emil
grants There ought to be such revival
of the work of collecting funds as will at

1t is seldom that any crime is so thoroughly
expiated as the attempted burning Of the
Ludlow-St. tenement-hOuse now promises 10
be. The sentence of Levy on Saturday, as
an accessory before the fact, to imprisonment
for life, is the fourth life sentence that has
been imposed for this crime-all Of which, let
Ms hope, will be fulfilled. Little episodes like
these will tend to render the pursuit OF in
ccndiarsm less attractive to persons III search
of profession.
The Presidents purpose to veto the Judicial
bill and sign the Army bill is now openly
ayowed by him, final action By Congress hay
ing made such an ayowal proper. In q
conversation reported in our Washington
dispatches, the President sketches with a
free hand his grounds for Withholding his
approyal from the Judicial bill, and no doubt
thus outlines the argument of the veto mes
SAGE. which will reach the House to-day. He
also gives his reasons for approving the Army
bill, and for believing that it does not in any
way restrict his present power under the law.
The International Literary Congress IN Lon
don. hneal successor Of that held in Paris last
wear under the presidency of Victor Hugo,
is remarkable only for the list of its absen-
tees. As our London letter shows NJ. Ed
