THE LEGISLATURE AND THE EXECUTIVE.
How Their Powers are Defined rs Regards

How Their Powers are Defined as Regards
the Federal Constitution.
The LIGHT clips the following editorial from
the Galveston News anent Free Lance's"
letter to the Pontypool Free Press, as it cor
reefs an important error in the said letter and
gives some useful information upon the sub
jeet Of which It treats:
"A young Englishman writes from this
State to an English paper, giving his observa-
tons on some points, social and political. A
curious assertion made is that the Supreme
court Of the United States can reverse or veto
the action Of the government. This is an
error arising from the observers confoundne
the legislature and executive departments Of
the government with the government as a
whole. The judiciary is a coordinate de.
partment Of the government It is so in the
several States as well as in the Federal Union.
whereas IN Europe the cabinet is usually re.
lerred to as the government, and at the most
'he legislative and executive powers together
are the government There those two powers
can change constitution il they have one.
Here the case is quite different. There the
Judges have merely to interpret the law. Here
WeJ nave 70 interpret the law and decide
Wnether II Is constitutional. In short, under
Republican Government the constitution is
above the law makers and the executive, and
the judiciary is part OF the Government
properly that part which is charged with pre-
venting the legislative and executive trustees
from prachcing usurpation. The English
man who has been in this country long enough
10 be iully naiuralized, should understand the
meaning OF Government as used in the United
states and might have explained il to his
English readers. In Senator Bayard's recent
address to Yale law school graduates, on the
responsibilities Of the legal profession in a
republic, he asserted that under our Ameri-
can system the legal profession is actually
part oil the Government itself" It seems, in
deed, to be large part of il. There were
o4,I37 lawyers in the United States by the
census OF 1880. Perhaps one-half were ac-
tuaily employed as such. That is the Sena-
tors estimate.

A Rival Of the Western Union.

from the Times Democrat.
NEW YORK, August I4.-The World will
announce tomorrow morning that John w.
Mackay, the California millionaire, will, dur
ing the day, be elected President of the Postal
Telegraph company, vice Joel B. Erhardt, re-
signed, and that he has entered the company
with the intention of extending its wires all
over the country, and making powerful rival
OF the Western Union. The company has at
present but one wire between New York and
Chicago.
p Vice President Cummins said tonight that
$1,000, 900 had been raised in few DAYS for
extending the company's lines, and that i had
received Mr.. Mackay's check to-day for a
very large sum. II is thought that the sharp
decline of the Western Union to-day is due
to this new infusion of strength into the
Postal.

A petition has been sent to the officers Of
the army for signature, in which it is asked
that the laws regulating retirements may be so
amented that any company officer who may be
50 years of age, and who shall have served ~
years in the army, either in the volunteer or
regular service, continuously or otherwise,
shall, upon his own application, be placed on
the retired list. The petition represents the
views OF many officers, especially OF those who
describe themselves in the document as "After
long aud faithful service, at an age which
eexempts all men from military duty, still serv.
ing, as Lieutenants or junior Captains, and
entirely without hope of ever rising to the
grade Of field officer"

THE LAKE PROJECT.
How Deer Lodge Puts Up for "a Public
Enterprise.

| When we mentioned last week that it was
designed to restore and amphfy the attract
| iveness of Irvine Lake and make it pleas
ant driving resort, not u dollar had been sub
scribed toward the purpose. But it had been
suggested that day and the cordial approval
the project met with from all who spoke of
il was sufficient evidence that it would go"
This week a couple of gentlemen "paSsed
round the hat" an hour or two and the result
will be partially seen below, the numerous
contributions under So being necessarily
omitted, but considerably increasing the az
gregate amount. A number OF persons whs
will probably subscribe have not yet been
seen and there are still other contingent con-
tributions not enumerated. The amount al
ready secured is sufficient TO do very good
work and make the lake attractive, but few
hundred dollars more can be expended to
advantage, n it will cost considerable to ac-
quire n title to the lands. 1t may not be ILL
timed to repeat that the object is TO obtain
title to the lands including the Lake, which,
with the Improvements, are 10 be held by
Trustees in trust for the use and benefit of
the Public in perpetuity. A stream OF run
ming water Is TO be conveyed into the Lake
enlarging its area; roads built to and around,
boats put upon and stock fish placed in 1t. A
comfortable house for shelter, driving sheds
and boat house are to be erected and the
groves cleared out making it an attractive
place for picnic and outing parties
TO get matters in business shape n meeting
of the contributors is called at the Engine
House at p. m. to-day to select Trustees and
officers, and it is hoped there will be n gen
eral attendance. The business need not Oc-
cupy more than an hour and no further
meeting will be necessary. We have not be-
fore seen an enterprise of this nature meet
with such general and liberal favor, but the !
scheme is oue that commends itself to the
pleasure-loviug pubIic-spirited. The Lake is
just about the right distance from town-45
minutes out and 81 minutes back at ordinary
going-and with an hour or two rowing or
sailing the Jaunt is neither too long nor too
short. Following are the contributors as

MYSTERY, PERHAPS MURDER.
The Body OF "a Child Found Near Deer
Lodge.

In response to a summons, Justice Bill,
Acting Cornorer, last evening went to bridge
on the east side road to Butte, about one
mile from Deer Lodge, and found there a
sack concealed under the end of the bridge
over coulee. This sack enclosed another
and inside this was a small coffin in which
was found the body of male child, which
had evidently been born Mt its full time,
alive, the umbilical cord having been tied.
1t had not, apparently, been dead more than
day or two, rs no decomposition had taken
place. The coffin was of pine, not painted,
but evidently made by q skilled workman,
and the lid was screwed On. The body, on
the hasty examination made by the Coroner,
did not show any signs of violence. 1t was
brought to town and is now in possession of
Sheriff McMaster. An investigation will be
held at the Courthouse to-day. A gentleman
who owns the adjoining ranch says number
of emigrant wagons were encamped near the
bridge day or two ago 1t was by the
merest accident that one Of Groves en-
ployes, working on the Kohrs & Walton
ditch, discovered the cache, which otherwise
might have remained concealed for years.

tiohS are far in excess of our most sanguine
expectations. A few weeks ago we began
advertising in this manner in nearly all the

orders every week. We are willing to give
advertising all the credit to which it is en-
titled for the great success of our order de.
partment, but no amount of advertising
would be of any permanent avail If G were
not to do our whole duty, which consists
in doing exactly-to the letter-what we
promise to dc in our advertisements, and
by dealing with the utmost fairness in re-
spect TO all matters which advertisements
do not cover. If through any inadvertency
OF ours, dissatisfaction of any character
should result, we are ever ready to make it
right without any quibbling. What we
promise we mean to fulfill, and when We do
not we want to know it. We want to treat
you right and sell you goods at honest pri-
ces. We do not profess to sell everything
OF less prices than everybody else, but our
facilities are unsurpassed and we cannot,
therefore be undersold. and we kno0 that
we sell many things at less than current
prices. If you think the prices you have
been paying some other house are too high,
give us a trial and see what you think of
our way of doing business. There is this
about our method, and it closes every loop
hole. If what we send you is not satisfac-
tory because of price or for any other rea-
son, for which we at fault, send it back
at our expense. That's the sort of PROPOSE
tinn we fling TO the breeze as our motto.
There are some additional facts that you'll
please remember:
We will be glad to send you samples of

that can be sampled, on application.
We will send ladies misses and chill drens'

THE HONEYMOON"
A Reminder That Legitimate Drama Can
Yet bs Produced.

| Mr.. John Magmre having engaged the
| Haverly company for another weak, the SEA-
| son will reopen tonight with the H1HegBiD1a.
/ The New NORTH W EST says the HOnegiHo-"
\ was the mot interesting play presented IN
! Deer Lodge for several years, being full OF
! love, humUr au excitement. II Is certainly
! a play which should draw out society a. u Il
| one Of Ihr most beautiful and affecting
| pieces NJ present on the American boards
| Inter H"uHtajn.
That il all right a. far as it goes. But the
| Honeymoon deserves a better mention than
that. The play was written by John Tobin,
the English dramatist, when play writing
was not dependent for favor, as it is nova
days, on the trickery of stage effects, sensa-
tionaiism, society scandals or indecent ex-
posure of person 1t belongs to the school OF
Shakespeare end Sheridan, and is standard
wherever the English language is spoken.
Poor old Tobin was sent away by an idiotic
manager-the first he presented it to--with
his cherished MSS. marked Rejected" but
he soon found one more appreciative, and
now his Honeymoon has place on the stage
IL will retain rs long as the The TdHiLG Of
the SjiTe0 or the Lddy Of LyoRs-to each OF
which it has some peculiar slmilarlties, and
TO both of which it in superior in plot and
dicuon. In the old days. when the legitimate
drama was appreciated more than it is now,
the Honeymoon was prime favorite among
the comedies; and the fact that it was the
only piece the Haverly's presented here that
was appreciated is a hopeful sign that pub
lie sentiment is prepared to welcome again
those standard dramatic representations when
cultured elocutiouists recte what the worlds
best minds have written, and an evening at
the theater is not misspent As it is now, we
have iterated and reiterated to Us, under the
title of Society or Sensational" plays, the
most abominable trash the language is
capable of, while we do not recollect of a
Shakesperian play being presented in Mon
tana in the past six or eight years. The
Honeymoon belongs TO the class Of plays it
were better to see revived, and although the
Haverlys "cut" it numerically here, what
was left was 4 happy reminder that the
legitimate drama was not entirely "out of
print"
