NEW YORK, Sept 16.-The health In
spectors have reported another case of
cholera. The victim, Mary Connoly, 10
years old, residing at 692 Second avenue,
has been removed to the St. Johns Guild
floating hospital at the foot of East Six
teenth street. Two suspected cases of
cholera were found in Brooklyn yesterday.
A young German girl, whose name could
not be learned, residing at $50 State street,
was one and Simon Collinski, of North
Seventh street, Williamsburg. the other.
The German girl died in few hours.
She had been in this country since last
February. Both cases are being carefully
investigated.
The Mayor Talks Hopefully.
Mayor Grant has issued proclamation
to the public in which he says the health
department has showed entire competence
to deal with the cholera He anticipates
no spread of the epidemic and asks the
people to have confidence in the provisions
adopted by the board for the safety of the
people. He also invites their aid in en-
forcing sanitary regulations for the main
tenance of health.
Mr.. j. Pierpont Morgan, treasurer of the
chamber of commerce quarantine fund,
reported that up to date he has received
e155, $50.
Origin of the Epidemic.
Acting on the theory that cholera must
be brought into a city-that it cannot come
itself-the authorities have been securing
New York to ascertain how it happens that
the germ is at work here and in Brooklyn,
1t transpired yesterday that heretofore i'm
migrants taken sick on Ellis island were
taken through the city to North Brothers
island. That may be one explanation. IL
is also stated that rags from European
ports are being landed at Brooklyn daily.
That may account for the cases discovered
over there. More definite are the facts de-
veloped regarding the cases in this city,
though they are not conclusive as to the
important question how the cholera got
through quarantine.
What Has Been Discovered.
But this has been discovered: Little
Minnie Levinger died Sept. II. On Aug.
% the steamer Friesland arrived from
Antwerp and after few hours detention
was permitted to land her passengers.
Among these were four young women who
went to All East Forty sixth street, where
Minnie lived. The other passengers scat
tered broadcast all over the country.
The four sisters took much notice of Min
ME and the belief is that escaping the
dangers of the germ they carried with
them it was transferred to Minnie, who
proved an easy prey. A man named Calla-
han is also down with apparent cholera
and plausible connection seems to be
established between him and immigrants
who, arriving in the city by trans. Attain
tic steamers, went south by the Mallory
line, to whose pier Callahan was often
taken by his business. He was butcher.

THE PRESS REPORT.


The supreme court has unani-
mously sustained the constitution
atty of the Idaho test oath law.
The decision in which the conclu-
sion is reached was handed down
by Justice Huston at 2:3O p. M,
last Saturday, in the case of Joseph
R. Sheppard vs.. H. Greenmett, reg.
istrar of Paris precinct, Bear Lake
county.
The case was argued a week ago
in Lewiston by Judge c. w. Ben
nett, of Salt Lake, and others. The
plaintiff is a Mormon who offered
to register upon subscribing to the
oath embracing the constitutional
provision and ignoring the addi.
tional qualifications of the test oath
law enacted by the first state Leg
islature. The additional qualiica-
tons is that an elector shall not,
since January, 1888, have belonged
to any organization that teaches or
taught, encourages or encouraged
polygamy; the constitutional pro-
vision being simply that he shall
not practice polygamy or belong to
organization that teaches or encour-
ages it. An application was made
to the supreme court for a writ OF
mandamus to compel the registrar
to register Sheppard.
The constitution provides that the
legislature may provide additional

relate to penal and criminal pro-
ceedings which affect private rights
retrospectively and are not applic-
able to civil laws but to penal and
criminal laws only. The argu.
ment of counsel for the plaintiff is
predicated largely upon the as.
sumption that the exercise of the
elective franchise is an absolute
right, and that both the constitu-
tional privileges and that of the
statutes are a violation of this
right. All the authorities are
against this assumption.
ut is contended by the counsel
for the plaintiff that the test oath
in the law Of February rs, 1891, is
in the nature Of q bill of attainder.
Section % of state constitution pro-
.vides that no person shall be elegi-
BILE to the Office of district judge
unless he be thirty years Of age.
Does that attainder inflict pains
and penalties upon all Of the citi-
Gems of the state learned in the law
who have not reached that period

ton the right of suffrage is confined
to males over the age oftwenty-ons.
Docs that attainder.inflict pains and
penalties on all the. women who
have reached their majority? Bills
of attainder are at present unknown
to our laws.
The right to vote is a political
right, conferred by the constitution
or laws of the state and has never
been regarded as exclusively under
state control. It may be granted,
or withheld, or given subject to
such restrictions as the majority of
those whom the sovereignty resi-
dents may deem most conducive to
the public welfare.
ut is the opinion of the court,
therefore, that the law Of attainder
in this case is an ex-post facto law /;
that it is not in the nature of a
bill of attainder and that it is an
enactment clearly within the con.
stitutional power Of the legislature.
The necessity Of the law, or sense
of such necessity, or it apparent
hardship, cannot be permitted to
affect the determination of the
court. The peace of society and
the welfare and happiness of the
| people demand that due respect
| shall be given by the court to the
law-making powers and where laws
are clearly constitutional applica-
tons for change must be made to
that branch OF the government
which alone can make and unmake
the law. The writ must be denied
and It ia so ordered"
! The opinion was by Justice Hus
ton, Chief Justice Sullivan and
Justice Morgan concurred.
