REORGANIZATION BY GOV. GEAR.

PROCLAMATION BY GOV. GEAR.
Dies MONIES, Ia, Sept. 20,-His excellency,
Governor Gear, has issued proclamation an
nouncing tie death of the president, in which
he says: For the second time in the history OF
the American nation it's chief ruler has fallen
by the hand of an assassin. In the current
year, at a time of profound peace and great
prosperity, when all the land were about to
Join in celebrating the 105th anniversary OF
the nations birthday, the people were again
startled by the appalling tidings that James
A. Garfield, a worthy successor OF Lincoln,
had been similarly assaulted by the murderer's
hand. While death was.not the immediate re-
suit, vet sorrow and Indignation prevailed in
the land and filled the hearts of all during the
many weeks that have passed by
since this horrible affair. The slender
thread of hope to which we at first held grew
stronger, our confidence enlarged, our fears
were measurably dispelled, and we fiattered
ourselves that, Notwithstanding a few apparent
reverses, all danger had well nigh passed, and
the nations chosen chief ruler was to be
spared to it. Let us in our hour of national
woe look for succor to him who is the gov
ernor among the nations, and let the people
with one accord invoke his mercy in this time
of gloom. Out of respect to the memory OF
the distinguished dead, the public buildings
ing, and the flags will be displayed at half
mast until the close of the day of the funeral.

Back to the Beginning.
fSt, Louis Republican,

The responsibility of the State of Min
nesota for certain railroad bonds issued
many years ago has been subject of act
i've dispute in that State. The interest
on the bonds has not been paid, and the
State authorities have refused to recog-
nize the debt involved; but the clamor of
the bondholders and the pressure of pub
lie opinion outside The State became so
great that the legislature last winter en-
acted law providing for a special tribu-
nal to determine whether the bonds
should be paid or not. But when this
special tribunal was organized and ready
too proceed to business, the supreme
court of the State was applied to for a
writ of injunction against its action-and
we now learn that the writ has been
granted. The court decides that
the act of last winter au-
thorizing the special tribunal
is unconstitutional and void, because 1t
delegates legislative powers to the body;
and that the constitutional amendment
adopted several years ago, requiring every
law for the payment of bonds already
issued to be submitted to the people, is
void also, because it impairs the obliga-
ton of contracts. The whole question is
thus put back where 1t was at the begin
ming, the decision of the court being,
virtually, that the legislature has no au-
thority to do anything in the matter but
make provision for payment of the bonds
They were issued more than twenty one
years ago, and, with the unpaid interest
on them, make a debt of over $1,000 900.
The people of the State have, by repeated
votes, showed their unwillingness to pay
