At last a jury has been obtained in the Cronn
case. and the evidence is being adduced in
actual testimony. On the whole in view OF
the present condition Of the statutes defining
the qualification of jurors, and in view of the
singular notoriety Of the case, no more time
has been expended in the getting of the jury
than was to have been anticipated. 1t took
two months to get jury to try Jacob Sharp,
and while public opinion is by no means firmly
settled as to the guilt or innocence of the in
dicted Cronin conspirators, there are so many
collateral points upon which to rule out tales
men that the only wonder is they did as well
and as quickly they have done 1t is to be
devoutly hoped that the trial will have a salts
factory reSuIt-satisfactory in the clearness with
which the innocence or the guilt of the accused
is demonstrated.

construction Of tho appointing power.
There Is one class of appointments OF
which the executive has exclusive con-
troll, and with which the senate has no
pretext for interfering. But there Is
another class, the appointments of o
higher grade, which can only be made
by and with the advice and consent OF
the senate. Those who have closely
studied the text of the constitution can
not fail to observe, In respect to the
last-named class of appointments. that
the only power conferred upon the ex-
ecutive is a nominating power, and that
in all reality the appointing power Is
lodged with the senate. This may not
be as 1t ought to be; but since 1t is as it
is, the senate Is not to blame for as
serting its constitutional prerOgative.
The president has neither the right nor
the power to ignore the senate in the
matter of the higher grade OF appoint
ments. That being so, common court
esy would demand that the senators be
consulted and their wishes be respected
in regard to those appointments that
can only be made under the provisions
Of the constitution by and with their ad-
vice and consent. We know that there
are many things in the construction of
the senate as a body which are legiti-
mate subjects of complaint, and we even
question the wisdom of having an up
per branch of congress. But, as long as
the constitution has created tive do IN
sist that the members of that body are
entitled to enjoy all the prerogatives
conferred by the constitution.

MISS WlLLARD,s JOY.

Miss FRANCES WILLARD, the elo-
quent talker who infuses the hearts of
the ladies of the W. G. 7. U. with tenn
perance zeal, expresses qualification at
the sale of so many of the big breweries
to foreign capitalists. She thinks it will
tighten the labors of her co-workers,
and insure more speedy success. In her
view it is an Indication that the Ameri-
can brewers are becoming alarmed at
the progress of the prohibitory move
ment, and would prepare for the water
deluge. She presumes, too, that voters
will feel less concern in indorsing the
destruction OF the property when in the
hands of nabobs who have the profits
sent over the sea. There is something
in this point, but the brewers are not so
alarmed as to make any sacrifice. In
fact, the sales that have been made are
mainly due to the extravagant figures
offered by the English buyers. In
almost any state there is a possibility
that popular Juror may sweep over it,
as 1t has Kansas and Iowa. It would not
be permanent, but it might for time
wreck the brewers.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The pension
appropriation act for the current fiscal
year appropriated $50, 900 for the
payment of pensions, and $4,000, 900 was
also appropriated for the same purpose
to meet threatened deficiency, max
ing the total appropriation sss, 400, 900.
This whole amount will be necessary to
meet the demands of pensioners, and it
may be that there will be deficiency,
but it is said at the pension
Office that there is no truth in
the statement that s105, ,0OO, GOO will be
expended for pensions during the fiscal
year. FL. C. Bell, chief Of the agents
division Of the pension Office, who is
intrusted with the duty of seeing to the
expenditure of pension appropriations,
says that it is true that the SS8. 400, 900
appropriated for pensions has all been
drawn from the treasury, but that more
than sic, ,OOO, 600 of the amount drawn
out is in the hands of the eighteen
United States pension agents, with
which to meet the quarterly payments
of pension which fall due on the first of
next month. 1t is thought that this
amount will nearly suffice until July l,
when the appropriation for the next
fiscal year will become available.
though it is said that some of
the agents may run out before
that time. Mr.. Bell says that the ap-
preparation for the next fiscal year. $780,
100000, is too small, and that there will
be deficiency of about S15, 100000. Gen.
Black, he says, did not ask for enough
money to prevent deficiency even on
the basis Of expenditures then existing.
The pension roll at the time the appr0-
priatiOn was made was and still is con-
stantly increasing, so that it Is evident
that if we expend S8s. 4OO, 900 this year,
$50, ,40O, 900 for the next year will be
wholly inadequate.

THE sIssETON INDIANS.

In the interesting description of the
Sisseton reservation published in this
issue OF the GLOBE there is suggestion
that the government should deal gener-
ously with the Sisseton Indians. The
GLOBE not only subscribes to this senti-
ment, but we will go farther and say
that it would be appropriate for the
government, by some unusual act OF
generosity, to manifest Its recognition
of the services rendered by the Sissetons
to the whites during the great Sioux
outbreak. 1t is to the shame Of the gov
ernment that the Sisseton indemnity
claim has not long ago been allowed,
and it would surely be an outrage
if they were not paid lib
eral price for their lands, which
they are now willing to have opened
for settlement. The Sisseton Indians
have eXcelled most of the tribes in
adopting the customs of civilization,
and in the main are better qualified for
the duties of citizenship than great
many who are enjoying those privileges.
They have established civil govern
ment of their own in the reservation, as
complete and perfect as that enjoyed
by any of the states in the Union, and
it is sa i'd that the local authorities ad-
minister justice with wisdom and i'm
partiality that would serve as model
for their white brethren.
One correspondent gives graphic
account of the beauty and fer
tility of the country included
in the Sisseton reservation, and
we can assure our readers that the ac-
count is not exaggerated. The Sisse-
tons were among the first of the tribes
to recognize the wisdom of the PROPOSE
tion to have the Indians take lands in
severalty, and have accordingly availed
themselves of the opportunity that has
been presented. Having made their
allotments and secured their home
steads, they still have all excess of
something like 100000 acres, which
they are willing to dispose of to the
government at fair price. There
should certainly be no higgling on the
part of the government over the price
and terms proposed by the Sissetons.
Their lands are worth every dollar they
ask for them, and more, too. Besides,
the white people of Minnesota owe a
debt of gratitude to the Sissetons that
cannot be measured by dollars and
cents.

THE BIG BREWERY DEAL.

1t is pretty well understood that the
brewery business has been one of the
most profitable in this country, and one
that is not liable to be disturbed by
fiuctuating markets or to be affected by
financial depressions. Whether times
be good or hard, the brewing interests
usually prosper. Probably knowledge
of these facts has been the inducement
for the foundation of the British syndi-
cate which is now making an effort to
buy up all the American breweries. It
is gigantic enterprise, and one that
requires all immense amount of capital,
and the result of the experiment will
be awaited with considerable interest.
Heretofore this business has been
mainly controlled by our German
friends, whose proyerbial thrift and
keen business sense are sure guaran-
tee of success in all their undertakings.
1t remains to be seen whether or not
our English friends, with their peculiar
business capacity, can achieve the same
success in the brewery business.
