GOOD LAW, BUT UNJUST.
That Is What Michigan's supreme Court
Says of the Miner Law.

That Is What Michigan's supreme Court
Says of the Miner Law.
LANSING, Mich, June 1S-The supreme
court yesterday rendered decision sus-
tanning the constitutionality of the Miner
election law, which was passed by the last
legislature. The law provides that electors
shall be chosen like representatives in con-
gress, each district separately, and shall
not be required to vote in the electoral
college as unit. The decision of the
court was unanimous. Justice Mont
gomery wrote the opinion. All the points
raised by the petitioners are fully dis
cussed. The court declares that the right
of the legislature to determine the mode
of choosing electors has been firmly estab-
lished in practice since the adoption of the
constitution, and does not seem to admit
of controversy.
Valid I'm Spite Of a Flaw.
1t does not lie with any court to assert
that that right has been lost to the state
by non-user. The act in question is in
conflict with the law of congress in so far
as it attempts to fix date for the meeting
of electors and the method of certifying to
their action, but the law is not necessa-
rily imperative because in some of its pro-
visions the legislature has exceeded it's
power. The court says: ave have con-
sidered the questions presented in the case
with that care that the exceeding impor-
lance of the issue seems to imperatively
require, and reach the conclusion that the
statute must stand as the lawful edict of
the legislature.
Practical Politics, Your Honors.
@The injustice of any other than uni
form system of electing the president of
the United States is manifest. In legis-
lating upon this subject it should not be
regarded from a party standpoint, but
either the fact that this important con
sideration has been overlooked, nor that
this legislation may result in serious in
justice can extend our jurisdiction or
justify us in usurping functions which un-
der the constitution pertain to the legis-
lature."
The court politically is three Republic
cans and two Democrats.

The Altholp Library.

English writers are beginning to recog-
nize the fact that America is a formidable
competitor in many fields. Speaking of
the sale of the Althorp library The St.
james Gazette says that ''selling il in
lump can mean only one thing selling it
to America" 1t then adds: 1--WE trust
that may not happen, since Lord Spencer's
collection contains many volumes which it
is n national pride to possess-such, for in
stance as the famous Valdarfar 'Boccac-
clio, which Lord Blandford wrested from
the second Earl Spencer for e2,260, to be
ultimately bought for Althorp for the
bagatelle of ESQ. 1t will be an epoch
making sale, for this great library con-
tains some $4,000 Volumes mostly price
less. Scarce editions on vellum and large
paper, magnificent printing and dazzling
bindings by Pasdeloup and Roger Payne,
these are its glories. Many of the books,
too have famous histories. They have
felt the touch of the Pompadour or of
Diane de Poitiers or the elegant grasp of
Francis l. There are eighty-two out of the
ninety-nine known productions of CaXton,
to say nothing of the famous Mentz Psalter,
a copy of which has fetched $4,000. To
sell the Althorp library, indeed, is almost
as though we were going to sell the rarest
rarities of the printed book department of
| the British museum"

Provided for a Pet Cat.

It is getting so that the making of a will
generally turns out to be the beginning of
a lawsuit. The celebrated legal battles
over the estates of Stephen Girard and
Samuel j. Tilden are still fresh in mem
DRY, and just now the people of Paris are
discussing a case that involves less money
but more fun than those mentioned. Nine
Dubrai, who died recently, left small sum
of money to the school fund on condition
that a certain amount shall be devoted to
the support of her pet cat. A trusty per-
son is to be nominated by the mayor, who
will undertake to house pussy and give
him three meals day, consisting of such
delicacies as lights, liver and heart. 1t is
estimated that, after this charge has been
met, there will only be about 200 francs a
year left for the fund, and the question
now agitating public functionaries is
whether that sum is worth the responsible
ity to be incurred. The courts are to de-
eide the matter.

GETTING SOLID WITH SPAIN.

Apparently England Wants the Same
Privileges Granted the United States.
Now that the world is at peace and the
prospects for war anywhere seem remote,
the great nations are devotng their ener-
gies to the arrangement of commercial re-
lations with their neghbors. American
ministers to European courts have scored
their greatest victories by inducing the
governments to which they were accredited

pork. The Spanish reciprocity treaty low
cred the price to American consumers of
Cuban sugar, and it was thought that no
other nation would be able to get as favor
able terms from the Madrid government
But it seems that of late Lord Salisbury
has been doing a little dickering with Ibe-
rian statesmen, and regarding the report
the New York Tribune says:
1.-THE cable dispatch relative to the
latest commercial convention between
Spain and England is so sweeping in its
phraseology that some doubts may be en-
tertained in regard to its absolute correct
ness British influence is known to be
potent in Spanish governmental circles;
still, commercial arrangements are nothing
but bargains, discussed and effected ac-
cording to the reciprocal principle which
prevails in international trade affairs as
well as in diplomacy. 1t is not usual that
nation gra lts commercial privileges
without receiving something in exchange
No matter how we'll disposed the cabinet
of Canovas del Castillo may be toward the
ministry of Lord Salisbury, it is difficult
TO believe that, as the dispatch says, Eng
| land has obtained the minimum tariff on
| British goods imported into Spain and her
| colonies without granting any concessions
| inreturn.' The obtaining of the minimum
tariff constitutes great privilege, for the
maximum tariff recently adopted in Spain
is really prohibitive.
1.-THE Madrid government has wisely un'
derstood that the best policy is to make
arrangements with other European nations
on the basis of the minimum tariff; and il
| has readily accepted the propositions made
| by France to that effect. But the conces-
sions have been mutual and not one sided.
I France has granted many advantages to
Spain, even though the modus vivendi did
not provide that French exporters might
claim the same privileged treatment grant
| ed American exporters TO the Spanish
West Indies. The French press is just
now divided ON this question, one part
pretending and the other denying that the
late arrangement extended not only to the
| Jrdue With Ihe penlnSuldi buo also " OhdO
with its colonies. 1t would be strange
that England should have received, with
out herself making any concessions, the
large privilege mentioned in the cable dis
patch. At any rate K the dispatch is cor
rect and if Great Britain can trade with
Cuba and the Spanish colonies on the basis
of the minimum tariff, this does not give
her the privileges secured to the United
States by the reciprocity treaty signed by
President Harrison"

The Value of Lemonade.

Regarding lemonade Philadelphia au-
thority says that it is a healthy drink if
properly made, and is good for malaria,
biliousness and other attendant evils On
no account should it be made in any tin
vessel, as the acid of the lemon forms
with the tin a poison that is very apt to
produce sickness. 1t is better to drink
lemonade without sugar if possible, and in
any event it should not be too sweet. A
physician who has a great deal of expert
ence recommends glass of lemonade
without sugar before going to bed and an
other on rising in the morning, about half
an hour before breakfast. Lemons should
not be eaten clear, but should always be
diluted with water.

self Respeet and Publlc Order.

Practically it is to the desire of social APP
proval and the corresponding fear of social
reprobation that every community owes
most of it's protection from disorder and
fraud, and most of it's improvement on the
moral side. No legislator depends on the
court and police for more than very small
part of the public peace and progress.
Nearly the whole of that portion of every
population to which the state looks for its
general welfare and security-that is, the
intelligent and industrious portion-are
acted on strongly by the desire for the APP
plause and good will of their neighbors;
comparatively very little by the fear of the
penal code. Outside the class in which
crimes of violence are commonest, the ig-
norant, the vicious and disorderly, the
largest part of the penalty, even for VIC
lations of the law of the land, is the keen
suffering which comes from the social dis
grace which they entail on the offender and
his family-E. l.. Godkin in Scribner's.
