4 Legal Joke

The Newburyport Mass. Herald
tells the following story of one whom
it describes as a famous wit Of the Els
sex Bar: GA liquor case was being
tried in court, and as part of the evil
dence a pint Cf whisky was produced
by the Commonwealth, and it was
clearly shown that the identical whisky
was seized from the premises of the
defendant, who had it there with intent
to sell, and whom we will call Michael
McCarty. 1t was not very extensive
seizure, but still the intent was just as
bad. When the District Attorney
arose he stated the case; said that he
had no doubt but that his brother on
the other on the other side would make
fun out of it, as was his wont, and
ending by charging the jury to dispas-
siOnately try the case simply on It's
merits. As he sat down MichaePs at
attorney arose. 'G-g-gentlemen Of the

they didn't.

The Crown Prince of Denmark is of
short stature. He used to be light
and graceful dancer. His feet yet re-
main phenomenally small, but his fig
ure is altering and there are signs Of a
double chin. In short, the paterfamilias
.supersedes the Prince Charming. The
recent addition to the royal nursery
was a seventh child. Family cares do
not appear to wear on the Princess.
She enjoys company, the theater, the
opera, is very fond of dancing when
she has tall partner. She boasts Of
her French blood, which comes to her
from the Bernadottes, Clarys, and Beau
harnois.

YORKTOWN CENTENNIAL.

Sometime since a movement was in
augurated looking to a celebration of
the one hundredth anniversary of the
surrender of Lord CORVALLIS at York
town, and the governors of the several
states were requested to appoint COM
missioners to arrange therefor. In ac-
cordance with this request, Hon. Milo
P. Jewett, of Milwaukee, was appoint
ed to represent Wisconsin. The ma
tional government will take a promin-
ent part in the exercises of the occa-
sion, which will consist of naval and
military reviews, civic professions, ora
tons, poems, and the laying Of the
corner stone of monument to COM
memorate the great historical evens
which closed the war of the Revolu-
ton. 4 liberal appropriation has been
made by Congress, to assist in de-
fraying the necessary expenses. 1t is
exceedingly appropriate that events OF
this character should be celebrated and
nothing will more surely tend to heal
the differences engendered by our civil

The operations of the Commission
ers of Fisheries during the past year
have been very successful, and the re-
ports from localities where fish have
been distributed are very encouraging.

the success attained, is the counterpart
o its record in all other departments.

One reason of Conkling's power over
his associates in the Senate in the present
emergency is his apparent success in lead
ing them to believe that the Presidents
withdrawal of the New York nomina-
lions is not simply personal warfare up
on himself, but by that act he has threat
ened each individual Senator and AFRO
gated to himself the right to coerce the
Senate through the use of federal pat
ronage. He has endeavored, and appar-
emily with considerable success, to create
the impression that the issue is not
whether he or the President should
triumph, but whether, by the implied
threat the President has made, he is to be
permitted to exercise complete DONNA
ton over coordinate branch of the
government.
The argument is speciou. one. but
lacks force from the fact that the deduc-
tons are not warranted by the premises
1t is true that the President has made an
issue with Senator Conkling, but tits not
true that it extends to other Senators fol

tor who has set himself up as the supreme

A singular and fortunately almost harmless
accident, which occurred at Duluth yesterday
morning, occasioned for time considerable
anxiety in st. Paul and Duluth at the st. r. &
D. offices. Two Northern Pacific engines
came into accidental collision in the railroad
yards, and one of the engineers when he saw
that the collision was inevitable reversed his
engine before jumping from it, The reversed
engine rebounded from the other, and at once
moved off rapidly out of the yard and
up the st. 8Paul & Duluth nam line.
It was but short time behind freight train
which had started south, and when its escape
was reported, great anxiety was felt, as there
was then no way of notifying the conductor
of the train. But, fortunately, this train had
reached side track, and was waiting there
for freight train coming from st. Paul,
when the runaway engine shot by on the main
line. Meantime, thu train from st. Paul had
been ordered to stop at siding fifteen miles
out, and the switch there was set TO ditch
the runaway engine when it came up.
But 1t ran out of steam twelve
miles out. stopped, and was caught and haul
ed back to Duluth by an engine which had
been sent in-chase of it. No person was hurt
and the engines were but little damaged. About
all there was oft was a first class runaway.

Mr. WINDOW is confident that all but a
few millions of the six per cent. bonds
becoming due next month will be renewed,
and that he will not have to redeem more
than three or four millions of dollars on
the day of the maturity of the bonds.
He congratulates the country upon the
fact, and points to it as proof of the
wisdom of his policy. He has on hand
nearly hundred millions of cash, which
is lying idle in the treasury, and should
be applied to reduction of the debt and
interest. He should use every dollar of
the amount for that purpose, but asks to
be commended for not doing so-for COM
polling the people to pay three and half
per cent interest when they should not
pay farthing. The cheek of the pro-
verbal government mule isn't circum-
stance to that of Window.

tho Presidents action as to the New
York appointments.

tho Presidents action as to the New
York appointments
1t is the privilege of the President to
make all his appointments irrespective of
the wishes of the Senators. It Is the priv
ilege of the Senators to reject all Of those
nominations. Courtesy has compelled
the President to consult the Senators as
to their preferences, but courtesy has
never compelled him to surrender his
prerogative. Most Senators have been
content to recommend certain persons
for certain offices, and as a rule the Pres
ident has adopted their suggestions. Oc-
casionally he has seen fit to ignore the
recommendations, but he has usually had
good ground for his action. There has
been no objection to his doing so-at
least no attempt to array the whole Sen
ate in opposition to the President-until
Conkling assumed to be the President OF
the State of New York The protest of
the President of the. United States against
this arrogance was perfectly justifiable,
and should be maintained. Mr.. Gar
fields action is not threat to any Sena-
tor who honestly endavors to do his duty.
1t is threat to those who think to usurp
the prerogative OF the executive. MIR.
Conkling's attempt to coerce the Presi-
dent is usurpation in far greater degree
than Mr.. Garfield's attempt to coerce
Conkling.. The New York Senator tran
scended his authority by attempting to
dictate the course of tho President. II
the Senate shall agree with him as far as
the nomination at issueis concerned, it
will have transcribed its authority.
Conkling and not Garfield has been guilty
of trenching upon the privileges of CO.
ordinate branch Of the government.

THERE appears to be but little doubt
of the fact that the Republican Senatorial
caucus will be unable to enforce its de-
cision upon the members, whatever tina;
decision may be. Some will cling to tn,
fortunes of Conkling, whether the caucus
shall decide in his favor or not, and others
will stick to the President, for they know
their bread is buttered on that side. The
Democratic Senators will be the real
arbiters of the pending dispute. As they
cast their votes Conkling or the President
will rise or fall.

Suicide in a Priests Study.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 10. - This morn
ing, at o'clock, William simms,
went to Father VIM. Walsh, who resides in
the parsonage adjoining st. Bridget's Church,
and related a story of trouble existing between
himself and wife. Father Walsh listened pa
tiently, and told Simms to lie down on the
sofa in his study and then he would 60 and
see his wife and arrange the matter bstween
them. Simms complied, and Father Walsh,
after locking the door to prevent being dis
turbed, went and saw Mrs. Simms. Return
ing an hour afterwards Father Walsh was hor-
rified on entering the study to find Simms
lying dead on the floor with his throat cut
from ear to ear. Deceased was confirmed
morphine eater, and was under the influence
of the drug when he committed this act.
