A Disease Which May BE Said to Grow
by What 1t Feeds Upon.
The managers of Lippincott's Magazine
nave, it IS said, sent out circular to con-
tr1butors announcing that they have already
on hand manuscripts enough to supply that
periodical for more than three years. This
statement it true, says the Boston Journal,
VIII carry sorrow to innumerable hearts, for
each year it becomes more literally true
that every body writes. The actual number
OF manuscripts really used by any magazine
In year can not, as any body may see who
Will reflect moment, rise above five or six
dozens; but this small number contains in
finite possibilities for the eyes of the great
race Of magazine writers.
We are continually told that there should
be new channels opened through which lit
erary folk could dispose of their wares;
but in the first place, the supply is pretty
nearly infinite, and, in the second place,
every fresh effort to provide for the old
writers calls into being host of new ones.
The disease Of scribbling grows by
what 1t feeds upon. until there Is danger
that we become q nation OF scribblers, than
winch, perhaps, no greater misfortune can
befau literature.
Writing is, to be sure, safety valve by
means OF which our super-nervous people
vent their excitement and bring themselves
down to working level; and ON this ground
should. perhaps, be encouraged. But even
OF this good thing there is danger lest we
get too much. There -, Of course, no way
out OF the danger, but to leave time to
bring about the inevitable reaction, and &c
restore people to . moro common sense

overcrewding of the magazine Offices witE

The Fraudulent Votes in the Tunnel Pre-

A dispatch of the eth from Helena,
Mont.s Gays: The Silver Bow manda-
mus case was finished to-day, Judge De
Wolfe denying the right OF the minority
of the board of csnvassers to appeal
from the order of the court directing
the canvassers to count the vote of the
Tunnel precinct. The court issued
a mandatory order, and Hall and
Irwin counted the votes of the dis

Gratis secure ten of the eleven members
of the Silver Bow delegation. The con-
test now is over the certificates of men,
bers of the Legislature. After the state
canvassing board adjourned the secre-
tary of state issued certificates of cleo
ton to the members of the Legislature,
including the six Republicans OF the
Silver Bow delegation. The clerks of
the different counties had already
issued certificates, and the Democrats
elect refused the secretarv's certificates.

INDIANA's MINOR OFFICES.

The supreme Court Decides That the
Legislative Appointments Are Illegal.
The Indiana supreme court on the
eth sent down decision that will cre-
ate a sensation all over Indiana. The
cases decided are those brought
in the name of the state for
the purpose of having the pro-
visions of the constitution relating
to the filling of minor state Offices inter-
preted- Two cases are decided, the one
in which John Worrell (Rep.), "a Gov.
Hovey's appointee, sought possession
of the Office of chief of the bureau of
statistics, now held by VIM. A. Peelle
Dem.), who was appointed by the Leg
lslature, and the one in which S. 7.

office of state OIL inspector, now held
by Nelson A. Hyde (Dem.). The decision

Of geology and natural science,
against S. S. Gorby (Dem. J, who
now holds the office by virtue of APP
pointment by the Legislature. The ef-
tect OF the decision will be to practically
revolutionize the present method of
filling the minor state Offices. Chief
Justice Elliott (Rep. J, and Judge Mitch
ell (Dem.) }, dissent from the decision
of Justices Odds, Berkshire and Cofey
(Rep.) The majority of the court holds
that the election by the Legislature was
illegal; also that the governor had no
inherent right to appoint because the
offices should be filed by an election
by the people. But as the Offices exist
legally they are now vacant and must be
filed by the governo r's appointment.

BRIDE OF THE CHURCH.
Miss Drexel Takes the White Veil and
GivAs 9 $4,000 600 to- Religion.

PIrTsBuRG, Pa, Nov. miss Kate
Drexel, the millionaire daughter Of
the late Philadelphia banker, became
a bride of the church to-day, when
she received the white veil of
the order of Sisters of Mercy. More
than ordinary ceremonies marked the
event which took place in the chapel of
the Mercy Convent.
The officiating divines were Arch
bishop Ryan, of Philadelphia; Bishop
O'Connor, of Omaha, and Bishop
Peelan, of this diocese. The sermon
was preached by Archbishop Ryan.
Only the relatives and near friends of
the postulant were present. The bridal
robes of white were a superb creation,
having come from one of the leading
modistes of Philadelphia, it's cost run
ming into the thousands of dollars.
Attert he celebration OF mass she retired,
reappearing In few moments clad in
the plain black habit of the order. I'm
der the rules of the order the novitiate
relinquishes her entire estate, which is
estimated at $l0.0UO,0 900, which goes to
the church.
1t was early in May last when Miss
Drexel set society the world over IN a
futter by entering the Mercy Convent.
Her friends endeavored 10 reason her
out of the determination, but without
avail, her only reply being that she be-
heved she was right and was only doing
what her conscience dictated.

stop and be searched. On their arrival

forty or fifty Mexican troops and a body
of fifteen or twenty customs guards ar
rived there, but too late TO save the
lives of the guards.
A general battle has since been
fought, resulting in the death and
wounding of some ten or fifteen parties.
Reinforcements were telegraphed for to
