FIGHTING FOR LIBERTY.
How q Penitentiary Convict Suppressed a
Revolt.

While a gang of twenty-five convicts
were at work at Plymouth, Mass, one Of
the number threw large stone at the soli-
tary warden, which struck him in the head,
inficting a stunning blow. The entire gang
then rushed for him. A life convict, named
Stevens, outstripped the others, seized the
warden g rifle and ammunition and fired
upon the advancing convicts, six of whom
he seriously wounded. When the ammuni-
ton was exhausted, Stevens dubbed five
others with the rifle, and when assistance
arrived was completely exhausted. Details
Of the affair were promptly reported to the
governor, and the home secretary gave
orders that Stevens be Immediately released
from prison and rewarded. When the good
news was made known to Stevens he faint

CAPITAL TOPICS.
THE FITZ JOHN PORTER BILL

THE FITZ JOHN PORTER BILL.
The president returned the Fitz John
Porter bill to congress, with his objections.
He takes the same view as the attorney
general regarding the uncOnStitutionality of
the bill.
THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OPINION.
Acknowledgement Brewster submit
ted to the president, in compliance with the
latter's request, long and carefully pre-
pared opinion upon the bill for the restora-
ton of Fitz John Porter to the army, in
which he expresses the opinion that the bill
is clearly unconstitutional. He says, in
part:
pose, upon the president duty to appoint
person designated therein without any
support in the constitution. 1t is an as
sumption of implied power, which is not
based upon any expressed power, and
clearly invades the constitutional rights
Of the president slider, congress has no
which will be Intellectual. 1t can
not enact, advise or counsel. 1t must make
laws that are rules of action, not express
sions of will that may or may not be fol-
lowed. If this bill be an Injunction COM
handing the president to appoint, it is an
usurpation, and IL it be only counsel, 1t is
without the essential element of law, and
congress can enact nothing but that which Is
to have full Vigor and effect of law; bnt
again, the bill is subject to objec-
ton upon the ground that congress thereby,
in effect, creates an Office only upon the
condition that it is to be asked by the par
ticular individual named. II this principle
were adopted generally in the creation Of
offices it would obviously result in cOnstrain-
ing the appointing power to accept the con-
ditions imposed and fill the offices with in
dividuals designated by congress, thus frus-
trating the design of the constitution, which
is that officers must be alone selected &C
cording to the judgment and will Of the per-
son and body In whom the powers Of nom
ination, advice and appointment are vested.
RECIPROCITY TREATY.
Representative Belmont has been
authorized by the house committee on for
eign affairs to report the following resolu-
ton as a substitute for Representative May
bury's joint resolution, introduced some
time since, directing the president to open
negotiations for the renewal Of the Canadian
reciprocity treaty of 1854: That in the opin-
ion of the house committee closer CONNER
cial relations with the other states on the
American continent, would be of mutual
advantage, and should the executive see fit
to consider the proposition for freer COM
merce with the dominion of Canada, such
negotiations would be viewed with favor.

The Crop Outlook in Montana.

A telegram says that the crop pros
poets in Montana are sufficient to wake the
highest enthusiasm. They never looked
better. Rain has been abundant and well
distributed. There is but small acreage
this year, only about enough for home con-
sumption. The increase in the acreage of
corn and flax seed is so per cent. Corn.
stands five feet on an average, and fax is
strong and vigorous. Oats and barley are
very promising. Rye is ready to cut. The
yield of everything is much larger per acre
than last year. Reports from Fargo say the
crops in the Red river valley are in fine con-
dition and 10 per cent. better than the same
time last year. The acreage is 10 per cent.

The Harvest Moon---What is 1t F?

Southern Planter.
This question is asked us, and at the
first blush of the reply appeared SIM
pie enough, but we found ourself in
the condition of knowing and not
knowing; and this may be the case
with large majority of people, A
little investigation put us all straight,
and the reply is now given: 1t is
thus called because it is an irregular
lunation which occurs each year early
in September about the time of the
English harvest. 1t is the nearest full
moon to the equinox, and by reason of
the small angle which, at this time, is
made by the ecliptic and the moons
orbit with tie horizon, it rises for sew
eral consecutive days very soon after
sunset. More continuous light from
the moon is therefore given at this pre-
else period of the year than at any
other. The harvest moon appeared
this year on 9th September on its full,
and for three nights before there were
but about thirty minutes difference in
time of rising.

Burning the Body.

Ionia Sentinel.
The body burns, whether placed in
the earth or fire; in one case it takes
ten to twenty years, and in the other
so many minutes. Cremation is the
proper and scientific way of disposing
of dead organic matter. When the
body is cremated there is no further
fear from disease germs in the body.
The only plausible objection that has
been offered against cremation is that
in case of homicide through the admins
istration of deadly poisonS valuable evil
dence might be destroyed; but this is
not a serious objection in the face of
the many advantages gained. All in
novations in sanitary science have had
to fight their way inch by inch. Vac
cination had a hard struggle, but came
out triumphant, and so we predict for
cremation a glorious victory, triumph
of good sense and science.
