Injustice to the Columbian.

We notice with pain that the Committee
Of Seven OF the Columbian party Is not
doing tho fair and square thing by the
Columbian Candidate. We have received
from Founder JAMES MEANS document on
the subject OF 1.-THE Protection OF Labor"
It relates to the regulation OF immigration.
and is therefore not to be regarded as q
declaration of vital Columbian principles:
but 1t shows regrettable symptoms. 1t
consists Of an extract from speech de-
livered by Founder MEANS In 1885. and
hence cannot be accepted as other than pre-
Columbian and fallible. Moreover. this
extract Is mostly u long extract from an
article by DAVID McGREGOR MEANS on

We have published the argument with
which Mr.. BoTAss1. tho Consul General Of
Greece. has recently endeavored to provo that
King GEORGE had the right to dismiss tho
Ministry which had been governing that coun-
try. His argument appears to us moro spe-
cious than substantial.
Of course there exists in the Greek Constitu-
ton an article to the effect that 1.-The King ap-
points and dismisses his Minister'S" The
same proposition is laid down in the organic
laws OF Franco. Italy. Prussia. Spain, and
every other country which has written Con.
stitution comforting parliamentary institu-
tons. TIE same proposition is embedded in
the practice OF the British Constitution
But NJ. BoTAssI loses sight of n second prop.
osition also embodied in all those Constitutions.
viz. that the Kings Ministers shall DO ac-
countable to the peoples representatives in
the lower House of tho national legislature
or. in tho case Of Greece. in the single cham.
Der. the Boule.
Ostensibly these two propositions conflict,
but in the practice of all countries which have
loyalty accepted tho principle OF parliament
tary government. they are applied in the
following fused form: Tho King apponts
and dlsmisscs his Minister'S in accordance
with the wish of the majority OF the peoples
representatives, in the lower House Of the
Legislature"
In Denmark alone has the sovereign per.
sistontly refused to reconcile the ostensibly
conflicting propositions in their fused form.
and. as we pointed out. King GEORGE of Greece
in dismissng tho DELYASNIs Ministry has for
the first time vcnturcd to follow his fathers
bad example.

FOURTH WAED COUNCILMAN
John ChansIor to File u Contest for the
Seat In That Ward

John ChansIor to File u Contest for the
Seat In That ward
AS the returns were made to the city
clerk, it is shown that w. II. Rhodes,
the present councilman of the Fourth
ward, is reelected by plurality OF 10
votes. 1t appears, however, that Mr..
Chanslor has sufficient information to
believe he has received more votes than
his opponent. From what is alleged,
Mr.. Rhodes is not out of the woods yet,
and may have to step down and out OF
his official position.
1t is a fact and is not disputed that in
the Thirtieth precinct, corner Of Eighth
and Olive streets, no vote was received
until s :03, when the polls should have
opened at 6 30 a. m. This delay was
caused because there was no bal
lot box or booths at the pre-
cinct until o'clock. The city clerk
claimed that the booths and ballot box
had been sent to the polling places Sat
urday evening-probably that is go, but
they did not materialize at the proper
quarter until one hour and eighteen min
utea after the time required that the
polls should open. Many voters came
to this precinct between 6 $50 and sos
a. M, but could not vote and left in dis
gust. On these grounds it is claimed
this precinct could be thrown out,
which gave Mr.. Rhodes seven more
votes than Mr.. Chanslor. Four ballots
were thrown out in this precinct. There
is a question whether two of them
should not have been counted. both OF
which were voted tor Mr.. Chanslor.
The parties voting had the cross between
the name and the political designation.
Such votes were counted in the Fifth
ward according to the clerks own state
ment to the writer.
1t is claimed that in the Twenty-sixth
precinct Mr.. Rhodes name was read eff
from several ballots when Chanelor's
name appeared thereon. Other irregu.
lar methods in other precincts makes it
possible Mr.. Chanslor has good grounds
for contest. On Tuesday Mr.. Chans-
lor, E. E. Shaffer, secretary of the DEM
ocratic city committee; W. L. Price,
Democratic committeeman of precinct
thirty, called at the city clerks Office
and notified MIR. Teed that a contest
would be made for recount of the
votes. The ballots OF the five precincts
in the ward Mr.. Teed brought into his
private Office, and each envelope was se-
cured with sealing wax by Mr.. Price
with his seal, so that it would prevent
any tampering with the contents. The
contest will be watched with great in

just What Is Wanted.

Business is alive to a great coming
event, and preparations OF all sorts for
the Columbian Exposition in 1893 are
active and earnest. Just what is
wanted of unique kind has happily
already made its appearance, and we
have before us The Official Portfolio of
the Worlds Columbian Exposition
illustrated from water color drawings.
This portfolio is rare and beautiful
exponent OF the main architectural fea-
lures of the great exposition at Chicago
in 1898. The IA magnificent structures
are faithfully exhibited, while the
bird's-eye view gives realistic glance
at the lay of the grounds, with their
principal buildings, lagoons, etc. The
illustrations are exact reproductions, in
water color effects, OF the original draw
ings, made especially for this purpose
from the official plans, by Americas
best known water color artist, Charles
Graham.
A copy of this exceptionally fine pro-
ductlon will be sent to any address upon
receipt of 10 cents in postage stamps by
The Charles A. Vogeler company, Balti-
more, Md.
