MICHIGAN POLITICIANS.

The Supreme Court OF Michigan yester-
day handed down decisions which declare
the reapportioning of Senatorial and rep
resentative districts made in 1891 to be
unconstitutional The Secretary of State
is directed to issue notices of election in
accordance with the acts of 1881, as those
of 1885 are held to be equally defective
with those directly passed upon. AS the
acts of 1885 were made by Republican
Legislature, and those of 1891 by body
that was practically Democratic, poll
ticians of both parties would seem to have
allowed their desire for partisan gains to
carry them into direct disregard of the
Constitution.
The State is in somewhat anomalous
position, as it is evident that the three
Legislatures elected under the acts of 1885
have not been constitutionally chosen.
But decisions of the United States Su-
preme Court on similar cases have settled
that legislation as enacted by those bodies
loses none Of its validity.
As there must have been a good deal of
change in the distribution and growth of
population since 1881, it will be interesting

forced retrogression to the apportionment
of that year. The Secretary of State is in
structed to watch any measure that may be
passed if special session of the Legis-
lature be called for the purpose. But
Governor Winans says that he will call no
special session unless there be found
serious inequalities in the apportionment
of 1881, SO the Secretary is not likely to
have any extra labor on that account. As
the Congressional districts are not in
question at all, national politics will not
be affected by the careless lawlessness of
Michigan lawmakers.

AN ABSURD PROPOSITION,

The extremely hazy notion which the
public at large entertains of the influences
which build up large industrial interests
is shown by the letter sent by the Young
Mems Business League of Memphis to the
Carnegie firm, suggesting the modest
scheme of removing the Carnegie estab-
ishment to that city.
The enterprise of the Young Mems
League in reaching out for additions to
the interests of Memphis in the shape of
such unconsidered trifles as the Carnegie
establishment has an aspect in which it
presents an example for Pittsburg If our
city displayed the same readiness to grasp
every opportunity to swell its industries it
would very speedily double its magnitude.
But such enterprise needs tn be tempered
with degree of discretion. The Memphis
proposition has about the same character
as if the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce
should suggest to the cotton planters Of
the Memphis section that they should
avoid the race issue by bringing their cot
ton plantations to Pittsburg.
Our Memphis friends evidently need to
be informed that vast iron and steel in
dustries are not to be taken up and set
down again in any part of the country at
pleasure. Nor is their location merely a
matter of human whim. Their location is
determined by laws as imperative and alb
solute as the law of gravitation. The
Carnegie as well as other works are loca-
ted in Pittsburg because this Is the point
where the ore, coke coal, limestone, pig
iron manganese and other materials neces-
sary to the successful prosecution of the
industry can be most economically
brought together. 1t might be possible by
the expenditure Of many millions to repro
duoe st Memphis works LIKE the Carnegie

sARATOGA's LAW.

Louisiana has at last abandoned its lot
tery, and Kentucky has followed suit by
closing the offices which did similar bust
ness On smaller scale within its bound
aries. And now comes the news that
Saratoga has consented to recognize the
gambling clubs which are supposed to be
its chief attraction, after q half-hearted
and ineffective attempt to suppress them.
Curiously enough, no attempt at all had
been made to enforce the laws against the
institutions until one of the proprietors
raised objections to the amount of black
mail he was obliged to pay out to the
authorities His complaint resulted in
the resignation of two or three prominent
officials, and they-as matter of revenge
started through their friends a
crusade against gambling places
which was supported by few
private residence owners and most of the
church people. Then came a loud and
bitter protest from the hotel keepers, who
pointed out that Saratoga would be ruined
as pleasure resort if the gamblers ceased
to come, as they would do unless they had
opportunities for play. 1t was shown that
the big play rooms admitted no local peo-
pie and confined themselves to fleeing
visitors from the outer. world. And finally
the matter has been adjusted by closing
down all the little lay outs, and the open
ing of the largest concern under a pledge
from the police that they will not inter-
fere with it unless they are obliged to.
So after all the hard worked city man
can refresh himself at Saratoga, and re-
invigorate his spent energies by the peace
full recreation of the gaming table. Such
is the majesty of law in Saratoga, such its
law w-abiding spirit, and such the sense of
its visitors in knowing what is best for
their recuperation.

Caldwell sent about 15 orders to his tailor for

Tho American Philosophical Society Makes
Curious Error.
PHILADELPHIA, July 2S-Charles Henry
Hart, an authority on historic art, Chair
man of the Exhibition Committee of the
Academy of Fine Arts, has written an open
letter to Frederick Fraley, President of the
American Philosophical Society, informing
him that the portrait inscribed "Francis
Hopkinson," hanging in the hall of the
American Philosophical Society. is that Of
Samuel Vaughan.
Mr.. Hart made the discovery during q re-
cent visit to the Museum OF Fine Arts, in
Boston. A picture of Vaughan in the museum
had been contributed by descendants.
That in this city, which has passed for
Francis Hopkinson, was bequeathed to the
Philosophical Society by John Vaughan. a
son Of Samuel Vaughan, in 1S4l. and was
painted by Charles Wilson Peale. The Bos-
ton picture is a copy, possibly by Benjamin
N est. It was Samuel Vaughan who planted
the trees in Independence square and on the
Walnut Fifth and Sixth streets sides In l755.
He was an intimate friend of General WASH
