THE PRESIDENT AND THE FAIR.
The Attorney General Gives an Opinion al
to Executive Power In the Matter.

The Attorney General Gives an Opinion as
to Executive Power In the Matter.
Attorney General Miller has just decided, at
the request of Secretary Window. some inter-
esting points of law regarding the relation OF the
governmental board of control to the act author
izing the exposition OF 1893 and to the other
bodies now in existence The Secretary pref
aced his questions by reciting the fact that the
governmental board il seriously embarrassed by
the construction that has been placed on GER
tain provisions of tho act and he says that it is
desirable, il possible, TO overcome the difficulty
by executive action under the present law
rather than encounter the probable delay
should application be made for congressional
Interpretation. He then asks whether, under
the provisions Of the act, the President is
authorized to designate additional articles for
exhibition" not already in the executive de-
partments, and to authorize the employment of
persons outside of the departmental force to
prepare and take proper care Of such articles
as he may designate.
Further. he asks whether the President has
the power. regardless of the wishes Of the ma
tional commission and the board, to divide the
500, 900 appropriated by Congress between
them.
In his reply the Attorney General says that
in his opinion the power vested in the Pres
ident includes but extends beyond the de-
partments and the institutions named, and tina,
he is authorized to designate such additional
articles for exhibition" outside Of any depart
ment as he may deem fit and proper.
This grant Of authority carries with ii the
power 10 employ such persons as shall be neces-
sary TO properly prepare and care for the arti
cles SO designated.
The act does not impose the duty of an ap.
portiolment a division Of the moneys upon
the President, and / do not deem il advisable
at this time to determine what rights the Presi
dent may possess in the premises in virtue Of
his general executive authority. 1t Is probable
that the attentions of Congress viii be called Il
the question Of the division and application Of
the moneys to be appropriated, so that sucl
Legislative action NAV be had as Congress shall
decide to be proDer"

Testimony In the Train wrecker's Trial.

The taking of testimony in the train
wrecking case was begun in the court
Of sessions in Troy. N. Y, yesterday.
All the evidence adduced on the part Of
the people was with reference to the 10
cation Of the cabbage switch at Greenbush
and the fact that on the night of September 4,
1880. it was displaced and the points plugged
with fish plates. The arrest of Reed ut Hudson,
on September 7,RSs sworn TO and his admission
that he expected to be caught and that he ought
to have fed the night before was allowed.

A Poem BY An Ex-Membef OF Congress Ap.
prOpriate tn tho Season.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star.
Some days ago in making an examination Of
the annual report Of the state superintendent
Of education for Nevada for 1890 came across
q poem by Hon. r. n. Daggett, whom many Of
the citizens Of Washington will remember ss
having represented his state in Congress for
one or two terms. just where he is at present
am not able to say.
There is in this poem weird touch Of that
trait of human sympathy, good fellowship and
affectionate regard for each other which was 50
astonishingly developed among the miners Of
the forty-nine period and later. I trust you
may find place for it in the literary corner Of
The STAR.
There is a sentiment pervading the lines
which it is hard to describe-words do not
seem to be of much use--you might almost as
well try to carry wind in sieve as to talk in
diligently about the invisible but golden link
which bound the gold hunters of the west to
each other. Very respectfully, J.W.P.

Some idea of the extent to which Germany
has contributed to the population of New York
city may be realized by rejecting on the fact
that the Stats Zeitung, the leading paper
printed in the German language in that city
is to partially change ownership on the first Of
January, at u valuation of four million dollars
Few papers in the country are worth that
amount no matter what language they are
printed in, or what interest they represent.

Who Is responsible morally and esthetically,
for the scheme of decoration and color recently
applied to the walls of the lower lobby Of Al

stood good deal in the way OF tawtiry scene
and wall painting, but this would be too much
very much TOO much! In fact. it is much too
much it is. and sadly out of keeping with the
other decorations of the house, which are quiet

There was a general hope, based on very large
promises to that effect, that when the electric
light was perfected and came into general use
the public would have better Illuminating
agent than was ever enjoyed before, and at far
less cost. These blessings were assured beyond
a peradventure, both by direct and indirect
processes. In the first place, the electric light
was to be great deal better than gas light
could be. and would be furnished cheaper. In
the second place, the competition thus insured
would force the gas companies to improve the
quality of their output, and at the same time
things happened? Nothing of the sort. Those
who use the electric light do not find it much
cheaper or better than gas, save that it throws
out less heat, and is not so destructive to OBJ
jects Of art, etc. On the other hand, gas is NO
better than it used to be, if as good AS formerly
and bills are no smaller. Larger, if anything.
as they always sure to be when the quality
deteriorates, no matter what the price per thou
sand feet may be. And as to the matter of
faulty measurement, it looks as if the electric
people can give the gas companies pointers
there. though they really don't need any aid
in that branch Of the business. A case
in point occurred in New York not
long since, when the electric lighters
sent in bill for lighting the new Manhattan
Club house for the month Of November in the
snug little sum Vi SS,@W. !hAs amount OF
course the managers wouldn't pay. AT first
the furnishing company refused to accept any
smaller sum, and threatened to remove the
lamps They declared that the electrometer
never lied, and that the current must have
grounded. They insisted upon payment for
the leak, as well "a for the electricity consumed
in lighting. But the clubmen were obdurate,
and offered to pay Just s625 month for cleo
tricity. and no more. The electric people
finally agreed to accept that sum in payment Of
| their bill for s2,2C0, and to furnish electric
illumination for the next two months at rate
not 10 exceed that sum. There is food for
thought here, oh long suffering public.

Thing. = Woman Can DO.

The Journal Of Woman's Work asks
this surprising question: What can
helpless female dor Not long ago the
the Boston Times in spirit OF fairness
admitted and even proclaimed that there
several desirable things that n woman
can do. Here is a sample batch:
She can come to n conclusion without
the slightest trouble OF reasoning on il,
and no sane man can do that.
Six of them can talk ut once and get
along first rate, and no two men can do
that
She can safely stick fifty pins in her
dress while lie is getting one under his
thumb nail.
She is cool as n cucumber in a half
dozen tight dresses and skirts, while n
man will swear and fume and growl in
one loose shirt.
She can talk as sweet as peaches and
cream TO the woman she hates, while
two men would be punching each
each others head before they had ex
changed ten words.
She can throw stone with curve
that would be fortune TO q baseball
pitcher.
She can say mo" in such low voice
that il means Eyes"
one Ctu SuaIpcu AZ ituu penCll III you
give her plenty OF time aud plenty Of
pencils.
She can dance NIL night in pair of
shoes two sizes too small for her and
enjoy every minute of the time.
She can appreciate kiss from her
husband seventy-hve years after the
marriage ceremony is performed.
She can go to church and afterwards
tell you what every woman in the con-
gregation had on. and in some rare
instances can give you some faint idea
OF what the text was.
She can walk bali the night with n
colicky baby in her arms without once
expressing the desire Of numbering the
infant.
She can do more in minute than
man can do in an hour, and do IL bet
ter.
She can drive a man crazy in twenty
four hours and then hiring him back TO
paradise in two seconds by simply tick
ling him under the chin, and there does
not live that mortal son OF Adams
misery who can do that.
