EXPLANATIONS THAT DON'T EXPLAIN.

Pension-C Commissioner Raum is putting
up some thin excuses about that big pen
sion that was the other day allowed tho
sister-in-law of the President. The eIpla-
nations do not seem to explain. however,
and the people who have valid claims pend
ing and cannot get them through are Won
dering how it is that the family connec-
tions of the President are SO carefully
looked after by the besmlrched Raum.

Constitutional Amendment Election
Case in Louisiana Finally
Decided.
Mandamns Compelling the Attorney
General to Pr0mulgate the
Law Upheld.
The Question OF Chartering the Lot.
terry Company Thus Re.opensd-
Exciting Fight Promised.

New ORLEANS, April 27.-The state
supreme court has finally rendered q
decision in the famous lottery case in
favor of the lottery, against which there
is no appeal. The case was first pre-
sented to the court nearly two months
ago, and the decision is participated by
the whole court of five justices, Associ-
ated Justice Breaux taking part on the
briefs submitted. He was Ill when the
case was argued by counsel. The deci-
sion is OF transcendent importance to
people of Louisiana, as it involved their
right to vote upon constitutional
amendment providing for annual in
crease to the revenues of the state of
81. $50, 900 as result of the opinion.
Louisiana will witness one OF. the most
Exciting Political FigAts
ever waged in the state between fac
tions of the Democratic psrty. The
state election takes place nsxt April.
The lottery made its fight for charter
in the last legislature and the amend
ment proposed was lengthy one and
drawn by astute factors. The vigorous
fight on the amendment Is wen remem-
bered. The lottery won in both houses
by the required two-t thirds vote and the
bill was sent to the governor, although
1T was held his signature was not neces-
sary to the proposal of constitutional
amendment submitted by a two-thirds
vote in each branch of the legislature,
The governor vetoed the amendment
and the House disregarded the veto.
Before like action in theSenate could be
taken, n senator who had votai for the
lottery amendment, died, vhersupon
the house receped from its action. The
secretary OF state refused to psomulgate
the amendment because the governors
signature was missing. Thersupon the
lottery made an application for q man
.damus. It was refused and
An Appeal Was Takea
to the supreme court. The counsel on
posed to the lottery argued that the gov
.ernor's signature was necessary: that the
amendment had not been legally passed:
that 1t had not been read the required
number OF times in both houses; that It
had not been correctly and properly
spread upon the minutes, aud that the
amendment was illegally drafted. The
decision has caused considerable excite
ment. The court stood 3 to Q. Associate
Justice Watkins was the organ of the
court and his opinion consumed more
than an hour and half in the reading.
Chief Justice Bernundez and Associate
Justice McEnery concur and Justices
Fenner and Breaux dissent. The court
holds that the printed journals of the
legislature are the valid journals; that
the amendment was properly drawn and
properly passed, and that the governors
signature or veto could not sffect the
amendment. The lottery proposition,
therefore, will be promulgaed and
voted on by the people in 1892.

from the mound upon which the mem
orial is to be erected. Hundreds of the
veterans of the war who loved and
Obeyed and even now worship the mem
ory of the general participated in the
ceremonies. The veterans and regulars
under Gen. Howard took up position
forming circle about the mound.
The preliminaries were very simple.
There was no marching or counter
marching and the strains of martial
airs We're entirely missing. The MEM
bers or the Grant Monument Associa-
ton and guests of the day were received
at the Claremont hotel, Just directly
north of the mound, by the Alexander
Hamilton Post.
After the preliminaries of the receu-
1on were finished, the members of the
association and their guests were es-
corted to the larger platform which had
been erected near the mound and seats
were provided for them. It would ac.
commodate about 1000 people. Upon
1t were seated the members of Grant
family.
The Exercises

chaplain on the staff of Commander
Freeman, then led in prayer. The prayer
was followed by the singing OF ~The
Star Spangled Banner" by large
chorus, under Silas G. Pratt, the we'll
known American composer. General
Horace Porter. who was then intro
duced, delivered the grafton. This was
followed by the singing of America
by the chorus and audience. The cere-
monies ended with the laying Of the
corner stone of the monument and the
benediction by the chaplain.
The monument will be about 100 feet
square. 1t is intended first to build the
portion Of the monument designated i'm

cophagus, and this win be completed as
it it were to be an independent structure

before anything else is undertaken. The
FUND already in hand, about $3.50, 600, is
more than ample to meet the cost of
this part OF the monument.
In the evening there were two dinners
in honor of Gen. Grant. One of these
was given at Delmonico's by the Grant
Birthday Dinner Association. Speeches
We're made by several ex- Union and ex-
Confederate officers.
The second dinner was given by the
Harlem Republican club, at the Metro
politan hotel. For this dinner great
had been made. Secretary
Blaine, ex-senator Spooner, ext Governor
Foraker and c. R. Bussey, of Iowa, were
among the numerous guests.
