troller of the state of Texas, an hon
est, competent, conservative and

shows, in fact were in the best interest
of the state, and In line with prece-
dents long established by the various
heads of departments, and that the
said John ID. Mccall should be exon

The principal of the builders of the Ger
man Empire died this year, and since his death
his generashi has undergone wide dis ussior
in Europe. The ex-head of the English Wa
Office, General Wolseley. recently wrote fol
New York newspaper four long essays in
which the Teutonic warrior was extravasantly
oxtolled. These essays, replete with incon-
sistent and loose assertions, convey an ex.
tremely incorrect impression of Moltke and
his campaigns.
General Wolseley is influenced even unto
enthusiasm by the bold fact of Moltke's sue
cess. and openly attributes the crushing of
Austria in 1856 and of France in 1870 to his in
dividual genius and merits. Now. here in

| POWER OF THE ENCLOSING CLERK.
| Anumber OF important cases are TO be heard in
the United States Supreme Court next month,
among them one to test the constitutionality
| of the Mckinley law. Several points in which
| it il alleged TO be at variance with the funda-
mental law of the land are to be heard and
decided. among them that the bill as signed
by the President was not the bill that passed
Congress
This lisa very important matter. for 1t will
show how far the power of the engrossing
clerk extends. As it stands now. that i'm
portant official is more powerful than either
Congress or the President, and can shape
the legislation OF the country ac-
cording 10 his own sweet will. II will
be remembered that when the Mckinley
bill passed both houses of Congress 1t
reduced the internal revenue tax on manuiac-
tured tobacco and provided for the payment
Of a rebate of the difference between the old
and new rates n all cases where the old taxes
had been paid on stock still unsod when the
law went into effect. When the bill had been
engrossed and after it hal been signed 10y the
u
discovered that this rebate clause had been en-
tirely omitted by the engrossing clerk. This dis
covery caused considerable excitement for a
time, as it was feared that the act of the clerk
would force the tobacconists to continue
the payment of the old taxes. and such would
undoubtedly have been the case had not Con
gross passed a special act to relieve the manu-
facturers and dealers
The point to be decided by the Supreme
Court is whether or not engTossing clerks can
have the power, either by negligence or de-
sign, to thus completely change the legisla-
ton Of Congress. in this special instance
tue Tariff act, which was signed by the Presi-
dent was clearly not the act passed by Con-
gress. and the question will arise whether
this will not yitiate the whole law. since
the Constitution gives the President only the
right to approve such acts as shall have
passed both houses of the Federal Leaisla-
ture The Tariff act sent to the President Tor
his signature had one of the most important
clauses of the original bill omitted, and there
fore the point is made that the act which re-
ceived the presidential approval was entirely
different from the one Congress had acted on,
and WAS therefore invalid.
1t is likely that the Court will decide on this
point that the act Was law to the extent to
which it had been acted on by Congress and
approved by the President If this IL the
final decree Of the court, however it will
make it imperatiyely necessary that the en-
crossing clerk should be closely and carefully
watched in future, else he might, if he desired.

site to what the trainers intended
