The Michigan Law Constitutional.

We have repeatedly said that it was pos
sible. the next President of the United
States might owe his election to the new
law in Michigan districting that State for
the election of electors of President and
ice-President. On Friday last the Su-
preme Court of Michigan, three Republi-
cans and two Democrats. unanimously de-
cided that the law IS constitutional. So
the Democrats will have chance to secure
several-perhaps ten or twelve-electoral
votes in the Peninsula State. and it is pos
sible that the Michigan Democratic elec-
tors. added to those from other States
may turn the scale in favor of the Demo
cratic nominee.
The court could not have decided the
case otherwise. 1t says so in its opinion.

The Trolley.

All the west-side real estate owners of
New York are against the trolley. says the
World. There Is death in it, says the big
Empire City, but Richmond has not learn
ed to fear its dangers. We are curious TO
know how it is that q system is harmless
in Richmond which Is harmful in New
York. We suspect that II is the multi
plicity of wires which has caused the
trolley panic in New York. Nevertheless.
the trolley seems to be growing in popu-
lsrity faster than any other system. 1t has
been familiar to our people for three or
four or more years.

THE RESPONSE.
CAPTAIN Wright was unable 20 respond
for some time. being overcome by emo
ton, a. he was taken wholly unawares,
and not expecting such O token of esteem
and goodwill from his men. His reply
was touching. He said that he would
always cherish lively remembrance OF
the occasion, and that it had been most
pleasant duty 10 command such COM
pony, always faithful aud ready 10 obey

PETERSBURG. Va, June 1s.-The Third
party people III Dinwiddie county, In re-
Spouse to call issued for that purpose,
will meet at the county courthouse on
Monday for organization and for the cleo
ton of delegates to the. State. convention
soon to assemble III Richmond. Since the
meeting of the Republican National Con-
yention, where so much stress was laid
upon the passage of force bill, and since
the enumeration of the Republican plat
form, the Third-party talk in this section
has very materially lessened. 1t IS not be-
lieved the Dinwiddie organization will
amount TO much.
A prominent Republican Of this city
thinks that Whitelaw Reid, the candidate
for Vice-President, is just as Objectionable
to General Malone as Harrison Is, for the
reason that no paper in the country has
said more bitter things about the General
than the New York Tribune.

The Chileans are Poor Gurner..

There has been SO much talk about
Chile's ability to strike heavy blows in
case of war with the United States that
the results of observations Of their work
| during the recent trouble will b. inter.
esting at this time. In the capture Of
| Valparaiso the Congrossionalist squadron
played no part worthy of meatioa. The
Esmcralda, Cochrane, Aconcagua anu
O'Higgins, all armed with heavy Arm
strong rifled guns, did not attempt to
engage Forts Pratt and Callao ut the en-
trance of the harbor, but managed to
keep we'll out of range. At lQuiQue they
kept five miles out to sea and not a shell
fell in the town.
When Admiral Brown was asked how
Chile compared with America in case of
biggest ship, except the Baltimore and
Warspite, we saw in Chilean waters, aud
the Chilean war vessels could not cope
with our vessels"
An officer on the ship who had caro-.
fully observed the operations of the
Chilean vessels said: "I never saw such
poor gunnery. Why, at 1000 yards l
saw the Cochrane keep up Il fire on the
fort at Vinda del Mar, and not shot
struck the fort, which, by the way. is a
very extensive work ard offers large
target. When the four Congressional
vessels were firing at Fort Callao the fort
was struck but half il dozen times out of
300 shots. Nearly every shot and shell
fell short, some of them as much as half
a mile. All the talk about the Esmer-
aida coming up to San Francisco and
standing out of the reach of the guus on
the heights back of Fort Point and drop.
ping shells liz the city is the variest rub
bish. Her guns have no such range.
"Whcn the San Francisco practiced
with her new six-inch rifles the results
obtained were very satisfactory, and at
the range Of 1000 yards with fort for a
target We would not have misse shot. !"

A Restaurant joke.

George Parker, who was well known
amoug the London Thespian corps, went
into n res taurant and, being very hungry,
cllled for three mutton chops, but while
they were dressing fell fast asleep. The
waiter brought them, laid them before
him, but, i'll the hurry of business, never
stopped to wake him. An actor, who
had not hid dinner that day, came in
aud, thinking it pity that the smeat
should get cold, sat down opposite
George, took his knife aud fork aud per-
formed the part very we'll. Having
finished them, he rubbed Georges
mouth with some of the fat and laid the
bones, 60, before him, then he rose and
went into another apartment. Tht
waiter now came aud awoke Mr.. Parker,
asking hum if he should take the things
away "Eh2' cried George, wiping hi:
mouth. "Yes-no-no--yes, you maj
take away these bones; but tell the coos
to. dress me three more chops, for au
as hungry as evet!"- Spare fomsnts.

presence of mind. Oddiscombe is q
watering place, and Miss Saunders,
while bathing, got beyond her depth.
The beach where the accident occurred
has sharp fall of three or four feet,
and the young lady, being unaware of
this, ventured outside tho safety line.
Her screams attracted the attention Of
Miss Hays, who was also in the water, aud
she at once swan to her assistance. She
reached the spot just as the unfortunate
girl was about to sink for the last time.
Tho latter had sufficient strength left,
however, to throw her arms around tho
neck OF her rescuer. Miss Hays was near.
ly dragged under by the added weight,
but managed to draw her friend almost
to shore when fisherman came To her as
sis.ancc. Miss Hays did not stop her
good work here, but Immediately set
about to restore Miss Saunders, who had
tainted from fright and exhaustion. Miss
Saunders cannot swim, and undoubted-
ly owes her life to the promptness and
pluck of tho girl who now wears the
medal of the royal society.

Highest Railway I'm the Aims,

Theme Alpine railway, the Brenzer
i,othhornbahn, is the highest railway in
the Alps and commands magnificent
views. 1t is 1851 metres (7836 feet)
nigh at the summit level, and ascends
1852 metres (5606 fecD or sixty-seyen
rctres (223 feeD higher than the Pilatds
Railway. The journey occupies one
rour and half. The gauge is 0. 8 metre.
The line is pure rack-and-pinion rail-
way on the Abt system, and is similar in
construction to the Monte Generoso Rail
way. The steepest gradient is one in
four-that is, less than the maximum
piatus ascent. The railway has been
quilt in remarkably short space of time.
1t was begun so recently as the 1st of
October, 1890. No fewer than ten tun
rels were bcred; numerous stIeamlet.
were bridged and heavy stone dams had
20 be erected. Boston Transcript.

A wOMAN'S AOIEU
Our love is done,

Our love Is done.
would not have it back say,
would not have my whole year Mayi
But yet for our dead passions sake,
KISS me once more and strive to make
Our last kiss the supremest one;
For love is DONE
Our love is done,
And still my eyes with tears are wet,
Our souls are stirred with vague regret;
We gaze farewell, yet cannot speak,
And firri resolve grows strangely weak,
Though hearts are twain that once war,
one,
Since love is done
But love Is done,
know II, vow it, AMI that kiss
Must set n fnis to our bliss.
Vet when felt thy mouth meet mine
Ny life again seemed half divine
Our rery hearts together run.
Can love b, done.
Can love be done?
Who cares If this be mad or wisap
Trust not my words, but read nv eyes.
Thy kiss baae sleeping love awake:
Then take me to thy heart; all! take
Tue life that with thine own is one,
Love is not done!
