BERL1N advices say it is hoped q definite
understanding with Russia will be had, and
believed that thereafter the European powers
will reduce their ornaments. These "def.
mite understandings" are deceptive. It is
doubtless the heavy armament of Germany
that Is maintaining the peace of Europe TO-
day. The armies once reduced by disband-
ment tho advantage would be with that
power which could the most quickly
mobilize again, and 81 apprehension Of
evil from every political complication would
keep oil Europe perpetually anxious. There
is less danger of conflict when all are ready
for war. Besides, what effect would the
turning of millions of soldiers into the in.
dustries of the European countries have
upon those already engaged in them? They
produce more men than they can afford pro-
fable employment for. The. armies and
navies draw off the more adventurous, rest.

ing benefits in the withdrawal of competitive

How They Electioneer in "Poor Old Missouri
KANSAS CITY, June 28.-After the most
exciting local option fight ever known in
Missouri the Prohibitionists of Indepen-
dence, the county seat of this County and
the Oldest town in Missouri, won q great
victory to-day, carrying the election by over
200 majority and ending the sale of liquor
for foul years. Women were everywhere:
at the polls, 1T the lunch stands and on the
street corners. wearing silk badges and with
"Dry" ballots in their hands. Girls stood at
the polls, aud at every voting place was a
banner on which was inscribed: "Temper-
ance beaus, or 10 beaus at ALL" Free din
ners were served at the polling places.
Hundreds of children carried banners
through the streets and about the voting pre-
cincts. Some of these were inscribed: "sow
whiskey ballots and reap drunken boys"
"Young men, keep your record clean-J. B.
Cough "Rum, revenue and rags" "Rum
ruins the reasoning" "Vote as you pray
For God, home and native land"
The legend, "We can't vote, but we can
suffer-" was carried by the women in the
parade yesterday, and to-day occupied =
prominent place at each ward precinct. "We
have shaken the bayseed from our heads and
mean to vote her dry" was on the standard
at the headquarters of the country voters in
the court yard, and it caused much amuse.
ment. Many of the best people of the town
were interested in the contest. The Mormon
church, which has 100 voters, voted almost
in favor of prohibition. The
temperance people had a large celebration

A NEW story relating to the mysterious
appearance of a Russian fleet in American
waters during the Rebellion, and especially
its anchoring for some time between Wash
ington and Alexandra during the dark days
of 1862, appears in this issue. For many
years it has been understood its presence
was AL act Of personal friendship on the part
of the Car of Russia toward the United
States, and especially toward President
Lincoln, 10 whom the Admiral was to report
for orders in certain contingencies. If, in
stead, it was merely q chartered fleet, hired
At so much per diem for defensive purposes
In case England and France, or either Of
them, should recognize the Confederacy and
attempt to raise the blockade, it will place
the act in . different aspect with Americans
For ourself We can speak that q feeling Of
gratitude for Russia's friendliness to the Re.
public on that occasion has survived with
earnest sympathy through all her trials
since, but will be largely dissipated if it
shall prove to have been q mere mercenary
transaction on her part. To be sure 1t was
we'll there was q power which would, under
the circumstances, even hire to US q fleet;
but the act has not the grace that comes Of
. free offering, as it was stated to have been
until this Alaska story came out. 1t is not
a credible story. We trust it is not correct,
and we hope that BAY and Nicolay in their
Century history entitled "Lincolnr will
throw the calcium light of truth upon the
affair.

. A DELIBERATE SUICIDE,
Interested in Himself From a Scientific Stand
M@ point.

New YORK, June 29.-[Special. PROF
Francis G. Lsngtry, brother-in.law of the
late Baron J. Vanderpole, suicided to day il
his apartments in the Astor House. He
! swallowed q hundred one-eighth grain NOR
phine pills and after waiting in vain for the
deadly lethargy, cut his throat with q razor.
While taking morphine Langtry recorded
hts feelings from time to time on q piece OF
paper. This queer record Is as follows:
5p. MAT 4:30 I took between thirty and
forty one.eighth grain morphine pills. AS
one interested in scientific subjects I observe
the effect curiously. There is already some
result, but it comes more gradually than I
had anticipated. M~M4-.
$50 p. MI observe almost no effect. I
am not q physician, and know very little of
the effect, but I had supposed Z three.grain
dose would be fetal. If At 6 p. m. I do not
feel more affected I shall take two or three
grains more.
OILS p. ma little drowsy, but nothing to
indicate prostrating effect. Will take about
the same quantity as before and 60 to sleep.
Ga. m.-Have taken 100 pills and without
effect.
This was the last memorandum made.
Langtry also left q loving letter to his wife.
He was at one time q member of the State
Board Of Education and very prominent in
educational circles. Financial troubles
caused the suicide.

THE article relating to corrections of pro-
cedure in criminal law cases, which was to
have appeared this week, is unavoidably de.
ferred until next issue. We might as we'll
say, first Is last, that the series Of papers is
from the pen of J. G. Robinson, ESQ.,, who
has been In the practice of law in Montana
for the past twenty years or more, and is
thoroughly qualified to speak of the practice
in these courts. We trust the corrective
methods he will suggest will have the atten.
ton Of the public generally, and that if they
are better than those now in force, which are
confessedly bad, the next Legislative Assem-.
bly, will have the support Of the bar and pub
lie in securing their adoption. Certainly our
people have had enough experience in the
evils of 'lhe laws delay in Furnishing the
guilty in Montana to regard with favor a
system Of procedure that will secure the
speedy administration of justice through the
courts rather than encourage a resort to sum-
mary proceedings.

THE PANAMA CANAL.


LONDON, June GA dispatch from Paris
says the Temps, states De Lesseps convoked
the members of the Panama Canal Boari
in order to submit to them q proposition
relative to the issue of the lottery bonds
The exact amount subscribed has not We,
been announced. It is known that about
$4,000 small subscriptions applied 70,
100000 bonds. The whole issue consists
Of 2o,000,0o0, bonds, each of the nomiral
value of f16, issued At ETA. 8s., the total
amount being f28, 100000. Panama Canal
shares closed a francs higher to-day.
The Standard contends that even if yes.
terday's statement that ELS, {, 900 had
been taken is correct the loan is q failure.
1t would give the company possession OF
f19,0 900 but this sum would melt like
under the tremendous expense OF the
work combined with the dead weight of the
interest now exceeding f4,000,O 900 yearly.
A year hence there would be a company
with q capital and debts amounting to f90,-
100000 with no available assets.
DeLesseps has issued a %circnlar which
confirms the statement that subscriptions
have been received for 100000 bonds, and
adds arrangements have been made with q
group Of financial houses to complete the
loan by paying the first installments, and
deposit in rentes or other Government
to form a guarantee Of f120,00 900.

strike is now on and by to morrow noon
the mills will be idle. At . conference of
the Wage Committees of the A~malgamated
Association and Iron Manufacturers this
afternoon the workers representatives stated
the lodges had voted upon the question of

imously to reject 1t. The manufacturers
then stated, in language just As positive,
that they would not pay the present wag es.
A scale has been presented them for final
consideration tomorrow. Should all the
mills close it would affect 100000 men di-
rectly.

Yale Beats Harvard

New LONDON, Conn.,, June 29.-Yale
administered the worst drubbing to her
time.honored rival to-day that Harvard has
received in several years, and At the same
time broke the record by five seconds. The
start was made shortly after 5 p. M, Har-
ward having the west and Yale the east side
of the course. Yale crossed the finishing
line in 20:10. This eclipsed, by five seconds,
the best time hitherto recorded made by
Columbia University in 1887. Harvsrd's
discouraged oarsmen reached the finish in
21:24. The conditions of the course had
much to do with developing fast time. A
strong freshet caused by the rain of the
previous night and q brisk northerly wind
favored the crews.

POINTS BY
Do You Ever Hear of Workingmen Emiefating
From protected" America to Gree
Trade" England1

At . ratification meeting held in the Me-
tropolitan Opera House, New York, Thurs
day evening of last week, Ingersoll was one
of the speakers and said:
"When q Presidential candidate is put up
most people always claim they we're with
him from the start. Generally they claim
they discovered him. They are anxious to
be with TIE procession. l will be frank with
you and say I was not working for the sue
cessful ticket in this instance. But there is
something in American blood that bows to
the majority, so that when the Convention
was through everyone was for the ticket
heart aud SOUL"
Col. Ingersoli then reviewed the work of
the Convention and platform. Referring to
the protection plank he said: 81 will tell
you why I am in favor of it. I want this
Republic substantially independent of the
rest of the world. Iwant this country 80 it
can live If at war with the whole world. Ny
next reason is that the man who raises raw
material only, is eternally poor. The farmer
who raises wheat, pork, beef and horses
makes q second and q third profit and gets
rich. The country which grows raw mater
ial will grow poor, while the country to
which it sells it and which manufactures it
into fabrics and sells them back to it again
will grow rich. Just to the extent that you
mix mind and muscle you give value. The
Sonth raises cotton aud sells it. Just so long
as the South does this it will be poor and
Democratic. l am for protection because it
will enable us to raise greater men. How
little, after all, the laboring man receives for
his work.-("Even under protection" said .
man in the gallery.) Yes, even under pro-
lection. But let mt ask you this, my
friend" answered the speaker. "If the Ia
boring man is not paid better here than
abroad why do we not find American work
ingmen emigratiDg to England?"
This reply was greeted with the most en-
thusiastic cheering of the evening, men in
oil parts of the house joining in the pro-
legged applause that followed.
'If England gets her goods in here free,
she will soon become the richest empire on
the globe, and we will become the nobodies.
The Democrats point to lands given away
by the Republican party, but they do not
tell us of the good uses made of the lands
thus granted in establishing communication
throughout the nation. They point to the
lands they have taken back, but they do not
tell you that they were recovered under pro-
visions put in the grants for that very pur-
pose."

H VETO POWER,
cleveland's Exercise of 1t an Encroachment o n
Legislative Power.

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Davis
to-day submitted to the Senate . report of
the Committee on Pensions upon eight
vetoed pension bills, the merits of which the
report discusses in detail, aud the passage of
which it recommends, the objections of the
President Notwithstanding. The more int.
resting and important features of the report
are embodied in the discussion of the veto
power and the dangers with which, in the
opinion of the Committee, its too frequent
exercise is fraught. 1t says that since the
eighth day of May, 1886, 1856 special acts
granting pensions to individuals have been
d%isapproved by the President. These ap-
prevails were based In . great majority of
cases upon the expressed opinion of the
President that Congress had erred in its
judgment upon the mere questions of fact.
It is, Of course, impossible for the President
to examine the mass of documentary EVIL
dence upon which each case depends and
which is invariably signed by the Commit
tee, and 1t follows that when he disagrees
with Congress upon questions of fact in
these cases his Judgment must be based, not
upon the reports of committees, in which
the facts are always stated with sufficient
fullness, but upon the report of some subor-
dinate in the bureau of pensions. This bu-
reau, whose action Congress has reversed, is
thus enabled to view the action of Con-
gress by the express direction of the Presi-
dent. This method of consideration is an
abridgement by the executive of the exercise
Of the right of Congress to waive that straight
proof which is required in ordinary cases in
the department. That the power exists in
the executive to disapprove any legislative
measure cannot be denied, but the duty n
doubtedly also exists that it shall not be
used in such q manner or upon any occasion
or pretext as to make its exercise operate as
Al encroachment upon the powers of the
other departments Of the government. The
right to so use the power of executive disap-
prevail as to change the ordinary method of
legislative action by q majority vote upon
proper subjects of legislation merely because
the executive differs from Congress upon the
of proof or expeciency of relief
does not, in the opinion Of your Committee,
exist. Such misconcept!on of the extent of
the executive power, making it limitless, is
with danger to the independence Of
Congress aud to its constitutional powers,
and it clearly implies that the functions Of
a usurping President who proposes to subor-
dinate to his will that department to which
The constitution has confided the principal
of government, can rightfully do this
and prevent the will of the people from TAX
Ing statutory form except by . two.thirds
vote of each house of Congress.
