Electoral Court Law which has been
passed by the senate, says the N. Y.
World, "Is an admission Of the
justice Of tho Democratic claim in

the Democrats insisted that the false
returns could not bo counted without

both houses Of Congress. The Re
publicana took tho ground that un-

turns they must be counted. by
this decision alone was tho theft Of

ED. AS to the amendment of the

by which it is claimed that all ex-
emptions are repealed except the
one inserted. we may say that while
the amendment is undoubtedly
rather bunsling and badly phrased,
no wise Judiciary, with due regard
for the public welfare, should con-
strue it to operate entire repeal of
exemptions. The omnibus till de.
clared void is OF comparatively little
importance. and it is hardly worth
while to ask Congress to resuscitate
it; but the action of our judiciary in
the premises is only i'll keeping with
innumerablo instances of Courts

Together, the Legislature, the
Governor and the Secretary have
succr' died. in turn NJ ont Il volume of
iumblcd session laws, mu!tilated and
reIiahle, n disgrace to themselves
and libel on the Territory. The
Legislature fooled its time away ON
" lobbing" until the last hours, then
sent Il wagon lead of all kin Is of
bills to the Governor desk. for HIM
to read and examine, approve or
veto during the last night before adj
lonrnment. The Governor had bee II
busy gathering few names to IN,
petition for Ieariolntmt ut, and WAS
tired. And he did not want to veto
any bills for fear of Incurring OPP
position to his politica schemes. So
he approved most of them without
reading, and returned others as ap-
proved without signature. In the
hurry the bill establishing the cnun-
~ seat of Garfield county was
passed and approved without an Ell
acting clause, which renders i: null
lltv. Some b lis have no date or
approval prior TO passage. When
approving many bills the Governor
must have been guided by the old
almanac which he used in Jerst =
back in 1914, fol about doz II Of
the bills are dated wrongly. Even
the exemption. law has not escaped
mutilation, and beside the "omni
bus" bill there are many which
might be declared void should tue
question of constitu:ionality be
raised The Secretary has laid him
self open to criticism for the manner
in which he has strained points at
the expense of the public in order
to stir up a bees nest under the
Governors coat tail. For instance
the Secretary strained point when
he interpreted the date of approval
of the Whatcom city character aud
several other bills to be November
23d instead of 2Sth, as they should
appear, according to Governor S
private memorandum and the journal
of the Council. The Governors" 81
and" 50" resemble each other enough
to allow the Secretary TO take advan-
tage of his chirosraphy, which was
done in order to drive another nail in
Newell's political rosewood overcoat.
For a list of blunder and malicious
neutrality-suspicious., see page 4l9, new
laws. 1t has been painfully appar-
ent for some time that the Capital is
not large enough to accommodate the
present Governor and Secretary;
but the people do not care how hot
they make it for each other, provided
they do not obtrude their nauseating
fight into the printed records of the
Territory, causing great expense and
inconvenience to the people. The
offices which these gentlemen occupy
were not created for the sole pur-
pose of affording them an everlast-
ing circus performance. Newell
should be bounced Immediately and
if that does not have a salu.ary eff.

quickly afterward. There are plen-

The IA ciier Esriii.-We were shown
this week very handsome diploma which
was awarded to Mr.. John +. Keller by
the Frederick County Agricultural So
cioty for having the best grain, seed and
fertilzng drill ut the exhibition OF 1883.
The diploma is 4 fine specimen OF the
photographers art, and can be seen at the
Office of the Shcphcrdstown Manufacture
ing Company. Taking the fact into con-
sideration that there were twenty-SiX
other drills of leading companies in COM
petition at the Frederick exhibition, it
will be easily seen that the drill taking
the premium must have very high de-
gree of merit. The same drill took the
premium at The Winchester Fair last fall.
The ShepherdStow Manufacturing Com
pany is now engaged in the manufacture
of the Keller Drill, and will construct Il
great number OF them TO meet the demand
for the coming season. We felicitate the
company upon having such an excellent
article TO manufacture.

A right and wrong way TO everything.
There is right way to use the "Seven
Springs Iron-Alum Mass" by which per-
manent and lasting benefits are obtained.
Then again It may be used in such way
as not to produce the results expected. As
is we'll known, the "Mass" is not a pur-
gative or cathartic, but is a tonic aItera-
tive. 1t enters into and assimilates with
the food products, and should be used
regularly in moderate doses, Immediately
after each meal, in most cases. But
should any disturbance of the stomach
arise between meals, such as headache,
sour quotations, or cramp collie, it should
be taken in little larger dose at the time.
Learn TO use the "Mass" right. and you
would not be without it for any price.
