Another constitutional question has
sprung up to puzzle the minds OF our
law making solons in addition to what
constitutes a ballot, and that is what
constitutes the 'next meeting" OF the
Legislature? The constitution that
has been looked upon as perfect and
we'll nigh infallible. when our law
makers come to handle it, it somehow
seems to become rather hard to get at.
In TACT upon almost all questions,
when 1t is looked too for guidance II
seems difficult to understand. THE
better plan idea OF calling consti-
tusitional convention has really been
a great hindiance in doing what 1t
proposes to facilitate. What major
ity OF the voters of the State means is
another stumbling block that has al
ready wrecked several years OF con
stitution making. The Myers voting
machine has started up the constitu-
tional question of what ballot is, so
level head as the Chief Justice OF
the State being of the opinion.tha the
card boards upon which the names OF
the candidates are all printed and
posted inside the voting machine in
closure for the guidance of the voter
Is really no ballot, as required by the
constitution,
Coming from the head Of the iudici-
nry Of the State this criticism on the
ballot has more force than il falling
from the lips Of common, every day
individual, as the decision of such a
question is naturally foretold, should
ii ever come before the courts.
Nobody ever thought that any con-
stitutional bubble would arise out Of
the proposition to take vote
on calling convention in the
month of May coming, and that it
might be submitted to special ses-
sion of the Legislature next winter
without having to wait until the meet
ing OF a. new legislature two years
hence. By this means it was thought
that two years of precious time at
least could be saved and the new con.
stitution promulgated and put into
operation for the next election. But
here comes another little stickler OF
constitutional right. What does the
next meeting OF the Legislature mean
in the language OF the constitution!
Would q special session OF the present
Legislature be the next Legislature?
Or would the regular session of next

The reason urged by the Democrats
for overriding the Republican Levy
Court of Sussex County by appointing
two Democratic Levy Courtmen is
that the Republicans selected partisan
jurors from which to select the regu-
lar panels, The Republicans, 1t seems,
in the two years they were in power,
selected for.the grand jury four Demo
crafts and forty-four Republicans. and
for the petit jury ten Democrats and
fifty Republicans. We frankly say
that we do not approve of such parti-
san action; yes, we will so further, and
say that it is an outrage upon justice
and the rights of the people. 1t is in
jecting partisan animosity into and
poisoning the very fountain Of Justice.
And yet, what right have the Demo.
Gratis to complain?
Rather let them hide their heads in
shame. Let us look at their record
and see how they have poisoned the
Fountains Of justice. Since 1881 to
1855, inclusive, Democratic Levy
Courts, in eight years, selected III
grand jurors and Is Republicans, and
for the petit jurors. October terms, 223
Democrats and II Republicans. How
Is that for Democratic iustiee2
Is not this partisanship run mad2 In

done. This is where the Republicans
of Sussex have erred. They should
have remembered that il the Demo.

sense of honesty and propriety in SO.

His Remarkable Work In Organizing Amer
lean Railroads..
New YORK, June 7.-Chauncey Vib-
bard, of this city, in his day the fore
most railroad man in America, and who
is regarded to-day as 1.-The father of
railroads." died yesterday at Macon,
Ga. in the eightieth year of his age.
He had not been in good health for a
year, and was staying in Macon with
his son-in-law, A. Craig Palmer, of the
Covington & Macon railroad, to escape
the severity of the northern climate
Death was the result of general break
ing down of his system consequent up
on old age.
Among the coterie of fnanciers and
railroad magnates whose names are
connected with the developments of
railroads in this country and especially
in this state, Chauncey Wizards name
was foremost He was the master mind
among the men who forty years ago
conceived and successfully carried out
the idea of consolidating the dozen
railroad companies whose rails formed
a struggling line through New York
state to the west. He was the executive
that took hold of the consolidated
properties, badly managed and poorly
equipped, unsafe, unreliable and I'M
profitable and welded them into the
New York Central Railroad Co. It
was Chauncey Vibbard. who, as the
first superintendent of the New York
Central, introduced methods Of opera
ton that railroads throughout the coun-
try were forced to follow, and which
form the basis of successful railroad
arrangements. The remains will be
brought north for interment

the streets were lined with veterans and
enthusiastic spectators
At 10 o'clock the national guards OF

river is on the rampage and threaten
ing, angry stream above the high water
mark. Information comes from above
that since yesterday the stream has
carried death and destruction in its
path.
The rise was very rapid and unex-
pected and many people barely escaped
with their lives No damage has oc-
Cured on this side of the river, but on
the other side farms are over
flowed and destroyed The Santa
Fe bridge is still intact and
believed to be in no danger. but
the approaches on the other side are
washed away. All communication
with the Indian territory by rail has
been cut off and it will be several days
before the damage can be repaired.
General Superintendent Irvine and Di-
vision Superintendent Downs are both
here and repairing will begin as quick
as possible
Telephone messages from Burlington
state that the river is running wild on
both sides in that section, and destruc-
ton to property has been fearful and
some lives lost

Damage done in the territory can only
be surmised, as all communication has
stopped.
Yesterday afternoon the Santa Fe ran
several excursion trains out to the
bridge, and thousands of people had a
look at the angry waves. The weather
is still cloudy and there is every indi-
cation of more rain, but it is believed
the worst has passed
BAD LANDsLIDES.
ATCHIsoN. Kan, June s.-Recent
rains have caused bad landslides along
the Missouri Pacific road between Leav-
enworth and Atchison. In number of
places the track is covered for a dis
tance of 500 feet The worst sides are
near Oak Mills, where several passen-
ger trains were caught, being neither
able to back up nor go ahead. Passen-
gers were transferred and were brought
to Atchison- Many were nearly starved.
No trains from the south have arrived
here for twenty-four hours. Two hun
dred men are at work clearing the
track, but make little Roadway. All
the section men between here and Con-
cordia and Weeping Water have been
summoned. If it rains to-day the track
may not be cleared for some time.
FLOODS NEAR AUSTIN, TEX.
AUSTIN, Tex, June THE heavy
rains which have prevailed west of here
for the past forty-eight hours have
caused the Colorado river to take a sud-
den rise. Within three hours the river
rose twelve feet In the mountain
gorge above the city it is twenty-five
feet above low water mark. The big
excavation for the dam now in course
of construction was flooded and the
Golfer dam swept away. Many cotton
fields are flooded The loss will be very
heavy.
