Gov. Garcelo yesterday told press agent
that he had AZ @ii1icia information of the
reply 81 the supreme Court of Maine TO his
questions, a Adj was not prepared to say what
he would 10. Tie intlmated, ho Hever, that
he had no intention Of recalling his action In
Issuing ertffcatea TO members Of the Legis.
lature Shsn he added that he did not think
the per Jpie would be foolish enough to resort
b, vifjlenee. The answers Of the Supreme
judg re- settle nothing. They bad no
case before them upon which to de-
eide, and their reply TO the Gov
efnor ls merely advisory concerning q
raatter with which they had nothing TO do
The questions were submitted by Gov. Gar
ceion against the wishes of the State Coun-
Gil and Ii Is doubtful II the councillors, or
even the Governor, will reverse their action
az a result Of what the Judges have had to
cay. Speculation will be at an end on
| Wednesday, when the Legislature meets. and
| then We shall see what We shall see.

see in all this only the humorous creation of a
fertile fancy and can find material for wonder
as to why the poor plumber should be made

the man whose comfortable home Is not

terror from day to day lest the plumber de-
seend upon him with a writ Of seizure and

and desolation. Only those know the sensa-
ton of true happiness who are strangers to
plumbers and who can bid defiance TO his
frown. The Irish tenantry dread the ap-
preach of rent-day. The Hindoos fear the
