An exchange says that the Supreme Court
OF Minnesota has declared null and void the
constitutional amendment repudiating GER
tain railroad bonds issued In 1859 or 1850.
This would be q remarkable exhibition Of
power, were 1t true. The court would prac.
tically be sitting in judgment upon the doc
ument from which the court derived its
power. What the Supreme Court did decide
was, that certain bill passed by the Legis'
ture last winter, providing a way by which
the question Of the payment Of the bond,
could be brought before the courts, was un
constitutional, and therefore null and void
This leaves the subject In the same position
1t has been since the reputation Of the
bonds.

President Garfield died at Elberon Mon
day night, aged forty-nine years and ten
months. The climax Of the great tragedy
has been reached; the assassin's work Is &C
complished; the nation mourns the Illus
.trious dead, and sorrows with those on whom
the blow falls heaviest-wife, mother and
children. The career of James A. Garfield
Is too familiar to require recital OF its events.
His life has grandly illustrated the ennobling
possibilities of form of Government "of
the people, by the people, and for the peo-
ple." The widows son, reared TO hard labor
and TO struggle for existence on the back
woods Ohio farm, in fifty years Of honorable
effort reached the pinnacle Of human ambi-
3tion, and added lustre to every position he
attained. Honest, steadfast and courageous,
blessed with healthy brain and sturdy frame,
he pressed on In the battle of life, fulfilling
his duties TO God, his country and himself
with conscientious integrity and lofty pur-
pose, until the Nation seeing and believing
set Its great signet Of approval upon him,
and made him President. His name will
Hive in history among the imperishable, H.
slustrious for his virtues and sanctifed by
This martyrdom. Shot down in peaceful
hours, In the zenith Of his fame, In the cap
sital of the Nation Of which he was chief,
watched over and prayed for by loving ones
Through many months of suffering, while
millions waited anxiously with bated breath
!. for each days tidings, and the sympathIes OF
all the civilized world clustered around
shim, battling heroically for life in the
sitting city, and then dying at last by the
sea in the silent watches of the night, while
merciful visions of his dear old Mentor
thome possessed his soul. 1t was tragedy
such as the world has never known before
! and which, God willing, may II never know
again. A worlds honor TO his memory, and
Ia worlds sympathy to mother, wife and
children. Every city and village of the ma
ton is draped, and the sad-tongued bells veS
sthe air ; but the sorrow that is in every hear,
zfrom the mountains TO the sea Is the greai
stribute of the Nation TO the memory of the
Flowed and honored President. Rest in peace

In the recent Methodist Ecumenical Con-
ference in London, in discussing the question
of training young people toward the church,
DIR. Bennett said that the loss of children
of Methodists in America in favor of other
wss one of the most disas'
trous facts connected with Methodism.'
Which remark to a profane mind sound:
very much as though the reverend gentleman
is more solicitous for his church than he !:
for his religion.

1t seems that in the negotiations
for the transfer of the ashes of Will
liam Penn from their resting place in
England to the great city which he
founded in America no account was
taken of the trustees of the cemetery
in which they have rested for 1853
years. After the consent of his sur
viving Jineal descendants had been
obtained it was supposed that there
was no other person in existence who
could interpose any legal obstacle to
the proposed removal. The mayor
and councils of Philadelphia, the
Pennsylvania Historical Society and
the State Legislature united in re-
quest to the English descendants of
Penn to permit the people of Penn
sylvania to pay this posthumous
honor to their illustrious ancestor.
Gov. Hoyt requested Mr.. George Leib
Harrison, wealthy citizen of Phila-
delphia, who was about to sail for
Europe, to act for the State govern.
ment. and to do whatever might be
necessary to secure the object In view.
Mr.. Harrison is now on his way across
the ocean, but it is not likely that he
will succeed in his mission. Under
date of June Mr.. r. LittlebOy, one
of the trustees of the burial ground
in Buckinghamshire in which Penn
is buried, writes to the London Times
that no application has been made to
the board of trustees for the removal
of the remains, and that if such a
request were made it would not be
entertained. 1t IS to be presumed
I that without the consent of the legal
custodians of The cemetery the grave
of Penn cannot be disturbed, and it
ia said that Penn and his last wife
were buried side by side in the family
lot. and that there IS no record by
which the one grave can be identified
from the other.

The High Grimes Of the Ring.

Mr.. j. V. Findlay, prominent
and influential Democrat of Balti-
more, in his speech at the Hamilton
ian mass meeting in that city, last
month, spoke of the paragraph in the
resolutions which stated that there
were 5000 names on the registration
lists of the city which should not be
there, and argued that the charge of
incompetency and misconduct was
made out against the registers. While
on this topic he said:
"In the name and in the presence
of this great city bound and gagged
outraged so often in her most
sacred right and apathy has succeed
ed to shame. helpless in the tangled
meshes of complicated conspiracy
from which there seems to be no
escape-in the name of an insulted,
despoiled, Inundated constituency
we demand the removal of the reg
listers as the first step towards the re-
covery of our liberties. Remove the
registers, we repeat, and give us men
in their stead who will purge the lists
in accordance with law. 1t is not
legislation that we so much need as
the rigorous enforcement of the law
we already have.
"ThiS is essentially a Baltimore
want. There is pervading sense
through this whole community that
the registration lists ale a snare, a
sham and a fraud. The purity of the
ballot-box, like the chastity of a
woman, should be above suspicion
but here it is poor, miserable, drag
gled thing, that has almost sunk be-
meath contempt. Who cares to vote
when the result is known before the
ballots are cast? Who is ambitious
to hand in from the outside pitiful
piece of paper when the fellow on the
inside of the window has already
stuffed the box with a handful? Who
cares to vote on his own name when
ruffianly repeaters can kill the vote
with a dead man, who, it is to be
hoped. has forgotten the strifes of
this world in the peace and bliss of
another and better? 1t is matter
of no moment whether you vote or
not. Nominations, which are the
equivalents of election in this city,
do not depend upon the popularity
of the candidate or the numerical
force of his supporters at the polls.
They depend upon the DEGREES of enc
or two political despots. They are
the incarnation of the ballot, the con-
densed milk of suffrage. If they are
with you it matters not who are
against you end, on the other hand,
if they are against you it is matter
of equal indifference who are for you
They set up whom they will and pull
down according to theil good pleas
ure."

This is the way the correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun, writing from
Rock vile, puts the local option ques-
ton, which has been settled in Mont-
gomery county he says:
"Nearly every one who resides in
this county is now thoroughly con-
WINGED, it matters not what their
previous opinions were, that the local
option law, which has been in opera
ton since the first of May, is success
in correcting the evils that it was
destined to correct. 1t has not pre-
vented any one from drinking liquor
of any kind. for all who want it and
have the money to pay for it can send
to places outside the county and pur-
chase as much as they desire but it
has prevented great deal of spree
ing and disorder. The hotels and
saloons are closed up now at 1880
o'clock at night. When liquor was
sold few of them could close before
midnight. 1t has made Temperance
fashionable, and as the great majority
of people want to be in the fashion,
they find no difficulty in giving up a
habit which was expensive as we'll as
unpleasant in its consequences, to say
the least. Private drinking has never
done the harm that public drinking
has. The local option law, as is well
known, does not interfere with any
ones rights in the matter. For pri-
vate drinking liquor can be brought
into the county at all times. Where
the law does its greatest good is in
removing the temptation, which
when the saloons sold liquor, was ali
the time offered. 1t was only the
weak that yielded to it, and it is the
same class that the law now endeav
ors to protect.o
