TRIGGER WORK IN MONTANA.

In the late State elections in
Montana there were charges of
fraud in the Silver Bow precinct.
The Republicans attempted TO
have the returns thrown out; the
Territorial Circuit Court decided
that the votes should be counted.
An appeal was taken to the Ter
ritOrial Supreme Court, where the
case was pending at the time of
MOntana's admission into the
Union. Upon the decision of the
question depended the consti-
tuition of the Legislature. If the
Lower court was sustained and
the returns counted as cast, the
Legislature would be Democratic
and two Democratic u. S. Sena-
tors would be elected. II the
decision should be adverse the
Republicans would be enabled to
elect two Senators of their own
following. Before the Territorial
Supreme Court could pass upon
this question, the President, by
his proclamation admitting the
State, legislated the Territorial
Court out of existence and substi-
tutes a court that owed its own
tenure to the very election that
is questioned. Able lawyers are
now exercised over the legal
phase of the case The point is
whether a case on appeal to a
court of competent jurisdiction,
involving the constitution Of a
coordinate branch of a State
Government, can, pending an
appeal, be withdrawn from the
Jurisdiction of that court Of appeal
by a hurried Presidential procia-
nation and transferred to the
adjudication Of a court whose own
title is subject to the action of the
body which it is called upon to
create It is a clear case of Pres
idential sharp practice that should
be beneath the dignity and stoop-
ing Of our chief executive, even
for political purposes.

THE CONSTITUTION.

Much confusion exists In the popu-
lar mind with reference to the fune-
lions or scope Of what is peculiarly
known i'm this country as cOnstitu-
ton. 1t may be defined as that body
of rules aud maxims i'm accordance
with which the sovereignty must
always be exercised. We have a CON-
pick system of federal and State gov
ernmenls and each has its constitution.
The difference is that the former deals
with subjects national in their charae-
ter, and contains enumeratIons of
powers granted 10y the people of the
United States, beyond which neither
the federal government nor any of its
officers or agents may CO. The State
constitution express the limitations
beyond which Stste government can
not go. In the one case, the State has
all power not granted TO The central
agent at Washington. In the other
the nation has no power not given To
il by the sovereign people OF the States
in a written enumeration of powers
which are to be strictly construed.
The federal constitution is elastic and
may be amended according to a mode
provided within itself.
Our State constitution contains the
limitations which must be observed by
the Legislature and by all the State
officers in their dealing with public
questions and affairs. In other words
the federal government has no power
not granted TO il and expressed in the
national constitution. The State gov
eminent is the representative Of the
inherent sovereignty of the people,
and has all power not conceded to the
federal government in the national
constitution limited only by the pro-
visions Of the State constitution.
The peoples rights do not come
from either federal or State cOnstitu-
tiOns. They have a higher origin than
this. Written constitutions" says
Webster, "sanetify and confirm great
principles, but the latter are prior in
existence to the former" In HurIbups
Human Rights and their Political
Guarantees, we find the following brief
description Of n constitution
"This then is the Office ola written
constitution; to delegate 10 various
public functiODaries such Of tile pow
ers Of government as the people Go not
intend to exercise for themselves; 10
classify their powers, according 10 their
nature and to commit them to separate
agents to provide for the choice Of
these agents by the people; to ascer-
tain limit aud define the extent Of the
authority thus delegated and to re.
serve to the people their sovereignty
over all things not expressly commit
ted to their representatives"
Written constitutions are the express
sions of what those to whom they ap-
ply consider desirable I'm the way Of
government. They are the body, but
will coon decay unless they be sustain
ed by the living, breathing spirit of
liberty and intelligence on the part of
the people who recognize their author
Winchester Democrat.

Don't vote for Col. Brice or John
Mclean or Thomas. The moment
you send a millionaire 10 the Unit
ed States Senate from Ohio, that
moment you beat the Democratic
party for ten years to come. The
SenatOrship is for sale. It's for
sale, but there is something that is
not for sale, and that is public
sentiment. Don't sell the Sena-
tOrShip this time. Don't let any

LIVELY TINE.


In conversation with Courier
Journal representative, last We'd
nesday, Gov. McCreary said:
"I expect a warm session Of Congress
at the coming term. The next House
Of Representatives will consist OF l6I
Democrats and l69 Republicans, which,
as you see, leaves the Republicans a
a majority OF only three more than
quorum in the event the Democrats
refuse TO vote with them. But / be-
lieve the Republicans will bs tanned
down little by the result of the last
election. After President Harris0n's
election they were very arrogant and
dietatorial, and inclined TO have every
thing their own way. But / think
their eyes are now opened, and they
will be little more reasonable"
Governor how do you account for
the recent Democratic gains ?" asked
the COurier-JOurnal man.
"Simply because the Republicans
are disappointed with the AdminIstra-
ton. Local causes may have had
some effect in places, but the truth Is
the people are becoming more enIight-
ened on the subject OF taxation. They
see that the Government is collecting
more taxes than is necessary to carry
on affairs, aud that a useless surplus is
accommodating in the United States
Treasury that ought to be in circula-
ton. Then, too, President Harrison
has done nOthinR to make his Admin
istratiOn strong and prOminent-men
Of his own party admit it is failure.
It lOOses, too, in comparison with
President Cleveland honest, clean and
healthy Administration, which grows
stronger the further we get away from
il, which is the highest test to which
II could be submitted" 81 believe, /"
continued the Governor, "that the
Democrats will be successful IN 1892.
II ], individually, had the power, l
would select Grover Cleveland as the
next President, because he Is honest,
capable and has the courage to express
aud carry out his convictions. But, at
the same time, will favor the most
available man, let him be who he may.
Just so he is honest and capable, ne
will get my hearty support"

Why the Cat Bias NYhIsker..

Every one must have observed what
are usually called the whiskers on a
cats upper lip. The use of these, in a
state Of nature, is very important. They
are organs of touch. They are attached
to a bed of close glands under the skin,
and each Of these long hairs is connected
with the nerves of the lip. The slightest
contact Of these whiskers with any sur
rounding object is thus felt most dis
tinctly by the animal, although the hairs
themselves are insensible. They stand
out on each side of the lion as well as in
the common cat; so that, from point to
point, they are equal to the width of the
animals body. If we imagine, there
fore. lion stealing through a covert of
wood in an imperfect light we shall at
once see the use of these long hairs.
They indicate to him, through the incest
feeling. any obstacle which may present
Itself to the passage of his body; they
prevent the rustling of boughs and
leaves, which would give warning to his
prey if he was to attempt to pass through
too close bush; and thus, In conjunction
with the soft cushions of his feet and the
fur upon which he treads (the claws never
coming in contact with the ground, they
enable him to move toward his victim
with a stiffness even greater than that
Of the snake, which creeps along the
grass and is not perceived until it is
coiled round his prey.-Exchange

DON PEDRO DEPOSED.

In Brazil, a country of South
America. nearly as large as the
United States, a revolution has
taken place. A republican form
Of government has been estab-
lished and has been acknowledged
by every province. Dom Pedro,
the emperor, has been dethroned.
The new government offered him
terms-s2, 100000 in cash and an
annual pension of $4,000 the
rest Of his life. He accepted the
terms, and with the royal family
sailed at once Tor Portugal. Thus
the revolution was accomplished
in a days time and without the
spilling Of a drop Of blood, and
the last semblance Of rule BY
hereditary right has been removed
from the face Of the New World.

ance 10 me a few days ago that Mr..
Gibbs would not be removed until the
expiration Of his term in February
next. Not only did you do this, but

you would, when a successor TO Mr..
Gibbs was 10 be appointed, consult me.
1t is matter Of small importance to
me who takes the place Of Mr.. Gibbs,
but as 1 informed him, in passing
through Columbia, Of the promise you
had made, you may perhaps under
stand how your action has placed me
in a false position. But Il j. fortunate
for me that Mr.. Gibbs will know that
], at least, told him the truth, though
| was grievOusly deceived in believing
what was said to me. 1 shall know
better in the future what reliance TO
place on statements emanating from
the same source.

managing the great department over
which you preside, you are running a
Sundsy-schOOl in Philadelphia and 1t
occurs TO me you might with profit to
yourself select as the most appropriate
subject OF lecture to your pupils the
instructive story Of Ananias and Sap
