MINERAL POINT TRIBUNE.
The Supreme Court of the United States
Knocks Out the Demoartic Party.

The United States supreme court
has won the reputation Of being the
greatest and the most influential
judicial tribunal in the world. The
fact that the government Of Chill
offered to refer tho difficulties be.
tween Chill and the United States
to our supreme court gave it justly
a worldwide prominence and moral
elevation.
No one can have forgotten that
during the past two years the Re
publican tariff bill of 1890 has been
traduced and maligned by the whole
pack Of Democratic howlers,
whether orators, members of Con
gress or journalists, az an unconsti-
tutional act, because it authorized
the reciprocity principle in forming
commercial treaties, aud also the
sugar bounty clause, whereby the
people Of the United States obtain
sugar at a lower price than was ever
before know in our history. The
court yesterday cidedunanimously
that what Senator Hill, the leading
Democratic presidential candidate,
is pleased TO designate the "BIaine
reciprocity humbug" does not
render the act unconstitutional, az
Congress vests the President with
certain powers to act under certain
conditions. Further, it was insisted
that the sugar bounty clause viliated
the tariff act This great court
unanimously decides that it does
not.
Finally this court virtually az
firms the decision of Speaker Reed |
that he had a right to count a |
quorum Of the House as present
when the members were in their
seats aud refused to vote. Because
Of this rule, which was sustained by |
Speaker Reed and his associate Re
publicans, be was denounced as
ear, tyraut, and an oppressor, and |
an overtime: of the constitution of !
the United States. Volumes have |
been uttered by Democratic spouters
against the tyranny aud enormous ;
injustice Of this rule, and yet the
highes court In the world, dis
tinguished for Its integrity, its
Justice and learning, and its freedom
from party bias, has unanimously
sustained the action Of Speaker
Reed and his Republican colleagues.
Could any Justification Of the fair
ness of Republican action, when
that party was in control Of the
House of Representatives be more
complete and more honorable?
The modern Democracy, which
may property be termed a bastard
party, is completely knocked out by
the last four decisions OF the United
States supreme court on the tariff,
The one ON Speaker Reeds railing
is the more notable, because the
United States circuit court of New
York had decided the Dingley
worsted act, which was carried only
by Speaker Reed counting a quorum,
WAS unconstitutional, and therefore
uull and void. The Democrats in
Congress who read the four de-
csious Of the supreme court are in
a measure stupedcd because that
respected tribunal has Knocked out
what little brains the leaders Of the
party had left. Republicans are
naturally rejoiccd at this triumph
amt viudicatiou Of their great |
measures and their honored leaders.

ALEX. HUNTER,
FRED'k WELLER,
WILLIAM DICKEY,
Directors Of the Poor.
Attest
L c. Colb0rn
Clerk,

In presenting this our report to your
Honorable Court and Grand Jury, it is
gratifying to know that the management
of the House Of Employment Tor the past
year has been approved by the citizens
whose charities We are the dispensers Of
We fully realize the responsibilities
resting upon US. To our keeping is IN
trusted both the keys Of Office, and the
Office. Into our care the laws commit,
the well being and happiness Of our IN
fortunates, aged and infrm poor, those
whose condition must excite your sym
pathy: those to whom "pity gave ere
charity began" those Of whom tie bless
ea Master said, "The poor ye have al
wavs with you" 1t has been the greatest
solicitude o. tle Directors, in the interest
Of the tax payers, to use the funds 50
generously provided, to the greatest ad-
vantage Of those for whose comfort health
and happiness the law makes our special
duty TO provide for. The duties Of the
Directors Of the Poor are numerous and
onerous, it is expected that they should
have "a tear for pity, and hand open as
day for melting char ity," and al the same
time have an eagle eye upon every de-
partment to prevent extravagance and
waste. They are duties that should call
forth the noblest prompting Of the heart
they have all classes and conditions OF
society TO deal with. The poor, many Of
whom peradventure were Graded in the
Zap Of luxury, and whose very soul re-
volts at the very mention Of Poor House,
the oppressed who have come TO destitu-
ton and want through the wrongs and
oppression of others, the manned the sex,
the palsied. the widow and orphan, the in
sane, idiotic, the blind, deaf and dumb,
and lastly the tramp with his story Of
woes and chapter Of wrongs The care
of these, 10 better their condition, relieve
their sufeungs, smooth down the cares oi
life, and find homes fo- the orphan, is a
duty Of love in which every good citizen
should be interested. The past wear
has marked great progress in the i'm
proyements and management 5f the Poor
House, and it Is hoped that by another
year the Improvements yet needed, to
make it compare favorably with many
OF the homes throughout the State viii
be added. The Directors were much
pleased with the encouragement give n
them by the citizens, in making the great
ly needed Improvements that were made
during th e year at the Home.
The great number of visits made by
many prominent citizens was very graft
flying to the Directors. a register of visit
ors having been kept for a portion OF tn e
year shows that three hundred persons
visited the Poor House and perhaps as
many more visited the place before the
register was kept

ton to the Home give very much credit,
IN their report and intimate they were
tie right persons in the right place. The
Directors desire 10 return thanks 10 the
public for their kind expressions Of con
tent, satisfaction and interest taken in
the management Of the Home. The new
bylaws. rules and ordinance adopted and
approved by your Honorable Court for
the government and regulation Of the

many questions which have caused con

in good order and repair The asylum
building, according to the Grand Jury's
report, is model OF workmanship, il is
built Of brick, thirteen inch walls. 80 by
81 feet, with water closets attached, two
stories high, slate roof, and finished in
the best of material and workmanship.
The building is supplied with hot and
cold water, heated with steam, bath tubs
and patent water closets on each
floor, having sixteen sleeping rooms,
two large sitting rooms and two large
hospital rooms. and good broad porches
at each end. To see the inmates enjoy

How to Stuff Birds.

You may wish to preserve some of
the bird skins that you may secure while
hunting. In skinning the bird be care
full not to cut away the leg bones below
the knees, or the wing bones, or to
loosen the wing quilts. Where it is neces.
sary to remove flesh from wings, cash
may be made from the outside and under
the wing, from where the flesh may be
out away.
Stuff the small birds with excelsior,
tow, or jute to the natural size. Then
arrange the wings aud other feathers
properly and place in paper cone or
any other convenient drying form where
the skin will be kept a proper shape and
dry. Make an artificial body upon a
wire. The body should be nearly as long
as the natural, aud as thick as the bird
IS wide. Attach an artificial mock which
is the same size as the natural, pierce the
skull with the sharp pointed wire of the
attached neck, then stuff the skin and
sew it up. The neck can be bent to any
natural curve. Arrange the wings, legs
and feathers, then label and put to dry.
If you attempt to mount, you had better
have few good specimens than many
poor ones; hence it would be well to
make special study of the mounting and
do the work we'll New York Tilues.
