General Crook,

The following tribute to the memory of General George Crook is from the pen of John Wasson, who knew the general intimately and had the courage to con- demn lis weak points as well as to ap, applaud his strong ones:
 Major General George Crook died sud- denly in Chicago of heart failure on last Friday in his 6lst year. h. many re- spects he was remarkable man. In ability it is doubtful if he had superior in the army at the time of his death. He was (. graduate from West Point lie served in the army over forty years. When a young second lieutenant, he won distinction in subduing hostile In- dians in California and southern Ore gon. He made good record during the southern rebellion, and was breveted major general. On the reduction of the army and consolidation of regiments be was commissioned lieutenant colonel. He always believed he deserved higher rank. No living man ever possessed more intense ambition for high rank. No man ever worked harder to win it. He made it rule to Zealously do the duty assigned to bim. lie possessed the best of habits-Indulging in no ex- cesses. He believed in dieting and lived on simple, plain food. Thus with a clear head, strong body and determined will he did his work, and in so far as lay in his power compelled his subordinates to dc likewise. With all his mental, physical and official power he worked for brigadier's commission, and said he would be content when he got it; but he was not-it was not in his nature to be. Grant and Sheridan were always his friends, and Sherman came to be. He was finally appointed major general the highest rank in the army-at the time of his death. He won all he work ed for. He had no patience with shirkers of duty or opponents. If his warmest and truest friends expressed an opinion affecting him that did not strike him favorably he at once classed them as enemies or treacheTous friends. He possessed peculiar trait in this respect. But for the untiTing and effective labor of Hon. R. C. Mccormick, Senator Logan, as chairman of the committee on Military affairs, would have reported against his confirmation as a brigadier general on the ground that there was no vacancy, and at the same time and for years afterwards Crook classed McCor- mick as a "conspirator against" him. Upon Mrs. Crook thanking Senator Thurman for securing her husbands confirmation she was instantly informed by the Senator that such thanks were due to Mir. Mccormick alone. Notwith- standing his few weaknesses he was in many respects a great man. Few off cers ever did more faithful and valuable public service.

THE KNOCK OUT BLOW
Synonpsis of the Supreme Court De-
 cisiou.

The decision by virtue of which the hold-overs are eliminated from office and the appointees of Governor Woltley take their. respectives portfolios, is given in full by the Phenix Herald, to which we are indebted for the following synopsis:
 The court says thls is an action to determine the validity of acts of the 18th legislature, passed after session of 60 consecutive days. The journals show that a session began January 1, 1889, and was adjourned sine die April 10, 1890; also that the legislature actually sat out AS working or legislative days. The act of congress limiting the session to GO days is mandatory, and the court must decide whether it meant consecu- tive or "working" i. e. Legislative" days. The court holds to the latter view, and compares the act in question with other amendatory or supplementary acts by congress relating to our territorial gov ernment. The organic act ought to bear the same relation to territorial government. The organic act ought to bear the same relation to a territory that a constitution does to it's state: National Bank vs. Yanktown, 11th Otto, 129, is cited to support of this proposi- I tion.
 i Furthermore. congress must have re- aliLed that no sessions could be held on Sundays or holidays. If, then, it intend. ed that these days should count as part of the GO, it would have so expressed itself in unmistakable terms.
 A legislative act should be set aside by the courts only when it violates the con stitution, or organic act, clearly, palpa bly,, plainly and in such manner as tc leave no doubt or hesitation in oul minds. Many authorities are cited 1T part of this principle
 The opinion thus includes:
 In view of this well settled rule, rec ognized in the foregoing cases, apar from the view we take of the organic law, viz: that the legislature is limited in its session to 60 consecutive days. a contended, we would hesitate befor, , holding that the legislature had in thi instance transcsnded its powers an( violated the fundamental law of the ter ritsry; especially when we consider tha this in effect would be to annul many O the laws now in force and thus disturl ! and unsettle the public credit, destro private rights and bring disaster upol the territory. From the foregoing con alterations we hold that the Appropria ton Bill, passed by the Fifteenth Legis lative Assembly and approved Arpil 1( 1889, is valid law and that the plaintit ] is entitled to the writ.
 The writ will issue.
