The contract made by the city for the lay
ing of piece of asphalt pavement on Con-

are protected beyond all peradventure. The
company agree to remove the pavement laid
on Congress street if it proves unsatisfacto-
ry to the city and substitute granite blocks
at their own expense, and it is understood
they will give bond to do this, of
the suficiency of which there can be no
doubt. The asphalt pavement which the

Attempts to work the Original package"
business have not so far proved very success
full in this state. Though the doctrine of the
Supreme Courts decision doubtless covers
some of the cases that have been brought
before our courts, it must be remembered
that it was the Iowa liquor law that the
Supreme Court declared unconstitutional and
1ot the Maine liquor law. And therefore the
justices of our inferior courts have, very
properly we think, refused to extend the
decision so as to cover our law. 1t is the
business Of the justices of our inferior courts
20 assume that our state laws are constitu-
nonal until they have been expressly de-
clared otherwise by our Supreme Court or
the Supreme Court of the United States.
VI course If the decision of the Supreme
Court should stand unremedied by Gen.
gressional legislation eventually its doctrine
would be applied to our laws and then there
would be trouble. 1t is therefore highly i'm
portant that remedial legislation should be

The death of Kittie, the last Of the
chimpanzees in Central park. New York,
probably decides the question Of securing
these interesting and intelligent animals

climate, and it seems almost like murder
to export them from their native wilds.
They inhabit limited area Of the Congo

of the parents. The babies" are nursed

Executions I'm Yrnnce.

Executions in France are still sur
rounded with lugubrious mystery. The
condemned do not know when they are
to die. and almost any morning after
conviction may be rudely awakened at
daybreak and conducted to the guillo-
tine. This was the case recently with
two lads who were under sentence for
murder at Paris. They went to sleep one
night, confident of a Communication Of
sentence. At dawn they were told to
prepare for the end, and ten minutes
later their heads dropped in the execu-
toners basket. The French are nothing
if not sensational, even in the manner OF
furnishing criminals.
