1t was definitely determined by the Su-
preme Court of the United States on Monday
that retired officer is part of the army of
the United States. The question arose on a
suit for the 10 per cent granted by statute
for every period Of five years service, and
Justice Miller in rendering the decision said :
"This Court is Of the opinion that retired
officers are in the military service of the gov
ernment, and that the increased pay of 10
per centum for each ive years service ap-
plies to the years passed in the same after
retirement as well as before" The decision
is not only of importance as establishing
certain rights of retired officers of the army,
but it also fixes the relations which they
bear to the communities in which they re-
side. In Maryland a retired army officer
cannot, under this decision, become Sena-
tor or Member of the House of Delegates
without an amendment to the Constitution.
BY this decision of the highest judicial
tribunal this county is now represented by
one delegate who is ineligible TO his seat,
Capt John A. Mcdonald. During the last
campaign the Democratic candidate for State
Senator, Hon. George Peter, in his speeches
on several occasions took the ground that
Capt Mcdonald was ineligible on account
of his connection with the army, and his seat
was contested by Mr.. Jos. Henderson. The
committee on elections 10 whom the matter
was referred pronounced him eligible and
he still holds the place, contrary to law.

The anti.polygamy bill which passed the
United States Senate several weeks ago
passed the House of Representatives Tues
day without amendment, and now only
needs the signature of the President to be-
come a law. The bill provides that any
man who marries more than one wife in
any Territory of the United States is guilty
of poygamy, and shall be punished by a
fine of not more than $500 and by imprison-
ment of not less than five years; that if
any male person in any Territory hereafter
cohabits with more than one woman he
shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor,
and shall be punished by fine of not less
than $500 or six months Imprisonment, in
the discretion of the Court; that in any
prosecution for bigamy any one drawn or
summoned as juryman may be challenged
for such practices and rejected as incompe-
tent jurors; authorizes the President to grant
amnesty to offenders guilty of polygamy or
bigamy on such conditions as he shall think
proper, but no such amnesty shall have ef-
feet unless the conditions Of this act are
complied with; legitimatizes any issue of
Mormon marriages which shall have been
born before January 1, 1888; declares that
no polygamist shall be entitled to vote at
any election in any Territory of the United
States, or be eligible for election or appoint.
ment TO any place of public trust; declares

of five persons to be appointed by the Presi-
dent of the United States, not more than
three Of whom shall be members of one
political party. The members Of the board
are to receive salary of 5000 each per
annum. The passage of the bill was re.
sisted in the House by many of the leading
lawyers on the Democratic side, including
Hons. John Randolph Tucker, John G. Car.
Isle and George l.. Converse, simply ON the
ground of its alleged unconstitutionality, all

COUNTING THE COST.

" Are you intending 10 buy new
sleigh this winter" asked 4 mechanic
of Charles Wallace, as he met him on
the street.
II have not decided yet. Why"
Il have some good ones on hand,
and will sell YOU one at bargain.
Come and see them
=. If | conclude to purchase | will
give YOU call"
Il will give You time-if You have
not the money just now; can wait three
or six months. if you like; glad to ac-
commodate you"
We'll, I'll think about it,
Charles Wallace was a young man
Just started in life He had bought 4
snug little farm. with q coy cottage
and good out-buildings, and brought
his young wife there. TO help him enjoy
his new home. He paid eight hundred
dollars down and gave mortgage for
the other thousand dollars. to be paid
in yearly installments Of two hundred
dollars principal, and the interest on
the remainder Ellen had a little money
that she earned in teaching school, and
she furnished the house, as far as she
could. without running in debt. She
was sensible girl. and preferred buy
ing fifty sheep to furnishing the parlor.
=. 1t will not take long" she said, for
the sheep to bring money enough TO
buy parlor set and carpet. and we
shall have them growing all the time.
and we can wait; our sitting-room is
good enough" So when her husband
came in. and told her that Jones would
sell him a sleigh and wait for his pay,
she shook her head and looked grave.
'.Iwould not do it. Charley. We
shall not drive much this winter. and
that old box sleigh of your fathers will
answer.
..You don't think that | can afford it,
| suppose"
You know that in three months
there is two hundred dollars. besides
sixty dollars interest, to be paid. which
we must not fail to meet Let us see
where it is coming from before we agree
to pay fifty dollars more for new sleigh
that we can get along without.
The young man looked rather seri-
Gus. and ate his dinner very quietly.
That evening he sat down by the stove.
while Ellen was clearing the table, ana
said: =. Il reckon. shall have to give up
the sleigh: ] have been thinking over
what YOU said at noon. and unless l sell
off some Of the stock | cannot. for the
life of me. see how can raise the mon
ey Tor a payment on the farm. in three
months.
THAI hdS to be done. Charley. and
we must not sell the stock either; il
would be like killing the goose that laid
the golden egg"
