Ear ~poiygamy cases have BEEN decided by
the Supreme Court Of the United States, aud
the constitutionality of Senator Eimunds'
bill sustained. The Chicago Tribune covers
the main points very neatly in this nutshell:
''The broad and sweeping doctrine is pro-
claimed that the people of the United States,
rs sovereign owners of the National Terri
tories. have supreme power over them and
their inhsbitarts.' Hence. Congress, in the
exercise of this power, may exclude any
person living in polygamy from the exercise
OF political rights. In this respect the opin-
ion of the Court il very emphatic. and, al
though the Edmands act is found deficient
in methods for its practical enforcement, the
principle OF National authority over the Ter
IitoIies 4 affirmed in the strongest terms.

A country clergyman writes an open letter
to the President, which We and published in
the New Yor Sum-. It contains some very
excellent points and reads as follows:

HovorED Sir You will pardon an old voter,
who never voted @ Democratic ticket In his life,
for writing to congratulate you upon your sue
cess In convincing the common people that the
change which they have made in the administra-
ton Is q great improvement over the old way. and
TO suggest that you make still further changes by
the appointment OF good men to fill other places
OF trust and service.
1t is a fundamental policy OF our Government
that the people may exchange Old public servants
for new ones In most cases 1t Ii their %constitu-
tiopal right to vote directly for new ones when
they desire a change. Many other changes can be
made only By the appointing function OF Presi-
dents and Governors. In such cases the people
secure these changes only by voting for Presidents
and Governors whom they expect will make the
changes. Ii Is well known that the largest inter
est in a Presidential election clusters around the
anticipated changes that are liable to take place
from the exercise OF the appointing power ofthe
President.
is expected that their election involves changes In
other numerous officers below Cabinet officers
that affect the policies and the cerpetuity of an
and his Cabinet do, and when the people vote for
a change of Presidents they vote for q change in
tie administration and this means q change OF all
vote for a change Of these officers In any other
way IL might be an improvement on the present
method. and would save the President all the re-
sponsibllity and labor OF making these changes;
they are elected by the people, In part, to do this
very work. they would simply be defrauding the
people out OF tneir rights to neglect it on aay pre-
text. Not till the people have amended the Con
stitution and relieved the President of this respon-
sibility can he shirk it without a gross violation
Of the rights Of the people.
Civil service reform means that only good men
shall be appointed to service. Ii does not meau
that when the people vote Tor a change IN the
policies and differing OF the Government their
Hoping these suggestions may have the weight
OF the resron that Is in them. irrespective OF the
