AGAINST THH BLANKET EAIxoT
An Effort Will be Made to Declare It
Unconstitutional.


PITTsBURd, Oct. 10.-Ihe new election
law may yet be declared unconstitu-
tional in time to save the enormous ex-
pense of printing the blanket ballot and
to have the old system Of voting used at
next months election. 1t is learned that
papers are being prepared to have the
matter brought before the supreme court,
now sitting in this city, and that the i'm
portance of immediate consideration of
the case will be strongly urged.
1t Is Contended by Republicans and
Democrats alike that the people are dis
gusted with the provisions of the Baker
ballot law, which makes the process of
voting difficult and cumbersome.
Those who have the matter nort un.
der consideration claim that they can
present case which will completely
knock out the law befor election day it
the supreme court will give the subject
-mpt attention.
:. hey will show that the law delegates
powers and duties to political organiza-
tions which there is no authority in the
legislature To delegate. The act virtu-
ally incorporates in the law of the state
the different and conflicting rules of tho
Republican, Democratic and Prohibition
parties, which are employed to designate
how the Official ballot of the state shall
be made up. These party rules vary in
the different counties and SO the law
changes according TO localities.
Another point that is raised is that the
Baker law is unconstitutional, in that ID
provides that the Dauphin county court
shall he the tribunal before which all
questions concerning the legality of
nominations for the state at large shall
be determined.

No Case Agninst Dr. New,on.

BALTIMORE, Oct, 10.-Bishop Potter,
of New York, states that there is no
truth in the lumor that Rev. DIR. Heber
Newton, rector of All Souls church, New
York, is to be tried for heresy. From
this it would appear that the report of
the committee appointed to look into the
teachings of DR.. Newton was favorable
to that minister. The charges were
originally made against DIR. Newton by
Dean Eugene A, Hoffman, of the Gen
eral Theological seminary. Bishop Pot
ter was Obliged to take up the matter,
and a committee consisting of Rev.
Thomas NJ, Peter, Rev. DIR. Parker Nor
gan, Rev. J. 7. Shipman, and e. P.
Wheeler, and J. A. Beall as attorneys,
was appointed to make an investigation,
which has been done, and the report
submitted to Bishop Potter.

THE PHGBE BIRD.

Are drowsy with the heat;
The blue is cloudless and no breeze is blowing;
Only one sound so sweet.
So plaintive on my languid ear is falling

Nay, birding, what has Pbgbe done to grteve
thee7
Or where has Phoebe fown7
Could fancy lure or passion bid her leave thee7
Surely thy tender tone,
The fond reiteration of thy pleading,
Would win her home, Loves gentle summons

The German Chancellor, Won Caprivi,
Again "About to Resign"
BERLIN, Oct. 10-While the long dis
tance military ride has reigned supreme
in the public mind during the past week
ministerial crisis has been quietly pre-
pairing. The differences between Chan
cellor Won Caprivi and Herr MIGUEL.
Prussian minister of finance, have been
widened through the unheard of action
of the chancellor in completely ignoring
the Prussian cabinet in the presentation
of the new military bill. The chancel-
lor, who has succeeded in overcoming
the emperors opposition to the bill, did
not consnlt either Herr Miguel or Count
Won Enlenberg, president of the Prussian
council of ministers, in regard to the
measure. 1t is predicted that the chan
cellor will dissolve the reichstag if the
bill fails to pass.
The Radical papers are jubilant over
this outlook, and express the hope that
in the event of dissolution their party
will make great gains The Vossiche
Zeitung says there is no chance OF the
bill passing, and that dissolution will
only strengthen the opposition and COM
pei Chancellor Won Caprivi to resign.
The paper calls on the government to
withdraw, or at least postpone, the bill.

A Destructive Party,

The Democratic party has never
shown itself to be constructive party;
it is always obstructive and destruc-
tive. The peace party of 1851 in
sisted that the war for the defense of
the Union could not be carried on con-
stitutionally. The revenue reform party
of 1899 insists that American industries
cannot be protected constitutionally.
