Terror.
PARIS, March So.-The report Of an explosion
in the building OF the Credit Lyonnaise was
greatly exaggerated by rumor. It appears
upon careful examination that there was
nothing more than slight explosion of gas in
the basement At first the news
spread like wildfire that the an
archists were carrying out their threats Of
attacking the banking institutions and that
much damage had been done to the bank. The
officials, however, became convinced, after q
thorough investigation, that the anarchists had
nothing TO do with the matter and that only sn
accident had caused the explosion.
Forty foreigners suspected of being engaged
in anarchical plots have been ordered 20 quit
France. The number included Germans, Rus
slams, Swiss, Italians and other nationalities.
They were given twenty-four hours to get out
of the country. Any OF them found in France
after that time will be imprisoned

erelgn acts shall be done by the
sovereign with the advice and con
sent Of the Cabinet" The Supreme
Court, In an opinion rendered to the
Cabinet April 10Th, 1890, decided
that the action Of a majority OF the
four members Of the Cabinet Is the
action OF the Cabinet, except in those
cases where the statute requires
unaulmity. The law of 1887, pro
viding for the appointment OF Dis
trict Justices, requires that the
Cabinet, or a majority of its mem
bers, submit nominations for such
appointments to the Supreme Court.
The Act OF 1888, to promote the
building of steam railroads in Oahu,
provides that a majority of the
members of the Cabinet shall
pass upon the plans and charts for
such railroads. The concurrence of
all of the Cabinet is required both IN
the present and the preceding Con.
stitution for the appropriation of
public moneys by Privy Council, and
similar unanimity is required in
several existing statutes.
We thus see that the argument in
favor Of the legal necessity of having
the four Cabinet positions filed by
four individuals instead Of lesser
number through one person holding
several appointments, is stronger
now than it was when the cases re-
ferred to were decided in 1876 and
1888. 1t needs no argument to show
that the rule requiring Cabinet
maiorities for certain legal acts OF
the Cabinet would be subverted by q
practice which allowed one indlvi'
dual to hold more than one minis
terial commission. The same would
also be true in regard to the laws
and constitutional provisions requir
ing ministerial unanimity.
If the point is once conceded thai
one individual may legally hold TIVE
ministerial positions, there is nc
principle in the way of his holding
three or all of them. This some
what extreme proposition fairly ex
hibits both the absurdity and The
evil tendency of the practice object
ed to.
We are therefore Of the opinion
that the commission to MIR. Wide
mann as Attorney General ad interim
was illegal, and allow the motion t.
quash the indictment presented b.
virtue of it.

the Constitution does not allow 1t to
exist.
II. But it is said that this defend
ant has no concern IN the legal or
constitutional authority of the officer
who presents the Indictment against
him, aud that If such officer Is not
legally authorized to present lndlct-
ments, nevertheless, tle fact that he
holds commission as Attorney
General ad interim" is enough. The
defendants remedy for an unauthor-
lied presentation of the indictment
is suggested to be, an action for
damages, writ of quo warranto, or
something else besides his motion to
quash the indictment.
It is not a question of de facto or
de lure, of duly commissioned, but
not properly qualified officer. 1t is
denied that any such officer Is known
to the law as the one who presents
this indictment An executive or a
judicial officer. holding an office
established by law, may be disquali
fed from such holding and yet his
acts done colore officii be valid. That
is not however the present case. The
Office of al al interim Attorney
General is not established by law;
an Attorney General, and not an ad
interim Attorney General, is by law
authorized to present indictments IN
| the Queens name.
III. This Court, it is urged, has
decided this question in the Kanaau
and All Lin cases, in 1876 and 1888
The former case held that an indict-
ment signed -. S. Walker, Attorney,
General" while Mr.. Walkers ap
pointment was Attorney General ad
interim, could not be quashed for
that reason. The Court mainly dis
cussed the question whether that
office and the position of Minister Of
Finance were incompatible with each
other. In the Aliu case, the Cour
held that an Indictment presented by
w. nj. Gibson, Attorney General &C
interim, by his deputy W. A. Whit
ing, could not be. quashed on tina
ground, basing its view solely on the
Kanaau case. But neither case wa
under the present Constitution
which requires, as was not done be
fore, that Hawaii be governed by
Ministry of four responsible Min
listers.

Martin and Murdoch.

From the Greeley County Republican.
The Murdoch boom is assuming large proper
tons. Each issue of the Daily EAGLE has a
column or more of press comments from all
parts of the state and up to the present time
Colonel Murdoch has distanced all other aspir-
ants. His position on the prohibition question
has led to some pointed questions being direct
ed at the colonel on this subject, to which he
gives the following satisfactory reply: When
1T comes to the question of the enforcement OF
the prohibition law or any other law, the oath
OF the officer TO enforce the constitution and
the law is more binding tina could be any par
ty platform" When Colonel John A. Martin,
an anti-prohibitionist at the time, was brought
out IN 1854 for governor, he was beseiged on
every hand TO come out in favor of prohibition.
This he refused to do, but said, II can be trust
ed, II elected, not to violate my official oath. -
He was elected by a large majority and
made one of the best governors Kan
sas ever had, retiring from the gubernatorial
chair an enthusiastic Prohibtionist. Honest
men will uphold the constitution and see that
the laws OF the state are enforced, and Marsh
Murdoch has the reputation of being an honest
man as well as a broad, brainy man, and
should he be elected governor of Kansas his
private views viii not prevent him from the
faithful performance OF his duties as the chief
executive of the state

q a THEFT NOT A THEFT.

In criminal case in st. Louis, brought
by the Municipal Electric Light and
Power company, whose electricity was
alleged to have been stolen by bridging
wires entering a store before the wires
entered the meter, the point was raised
that electricity cannot be stolen, mas
much as in order to constitute stealing
there must be an asportation, condi-
ton impossible in the case of electricity,
which, not being in any wise under con-
troll, is therefore not the goods, property
or effects of any one. Judge Claiborne
abruptly adjourned the case until he
could thoroughly investigate the ques-
ton. If the decision shall be in favor of
the defendant in the case it will make it
necessary for electric power companies
to organize and introduce into their
service a system of patrol to keep up
constant surveillance of their transmit
ting wires to see..that they are not tapped.
The case presents the peculiar feature
that the purloiner of the electric current,
while stealing something of value, is yet
guilty of no offense against the Jaw be-
cause the thing stolen is intangible.
