The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-07-05
WATCH THE COURTS,

The gates and bars which still sur
vive in some OF the London thorough
fares as an unRGserted claim OF certain
landlords 10 right in the streets are to
be abolished, the house OF lords finally
BanOtioning o bill promoted by the
county council. These gates number
tifty-nine.
This little extract illustrates the diff
ference between United States and Eng
land. Here are men having an i'm
memorial right to certain streets, but
"the omnipOtsnt power OF an act Of par
lament" sweeps them all aside. In this
country, If congress had the nerve to
pass such an act, the very dogs in the
streets would bark "unCOnstitu6ona" at
the lawmakers; the newspapers would
throw up their hands In holy horror;
and the courts one after another, from
lowest to highest, would declare that the
chaps who were obstruCting the high
ways were doing 80 under an implied
contract with the people, and that the
act in question violated "the obligation
of this contract" and was therefore null
and void; and the plaintiffs would con-
tinue to obstruct the streets, to the great
detriment Of the public, "as long as the
grass grows and water runs"
Aud we ask our readers to examine
the constitution Of the United States
and put their fingers on the provision OF
that instrument which gives bench of
judges the power to override the de-
liberste will Of the whole people ex-
pressed through congress. There is
nothing Of the kind. In fact the consti-
tuition (srticle 3, section p provides
that in all cases, where the United
States is q party, the supreme court shall
not have original but appellate iurisdic-
ton, and even then with such exOep-
tions and under such regulation as
congress may make" So that congress
has the power, at any time, to provide
that no suit shall be brought against
the United States, and that the su-
preme court shall make no decision
lnvalidating any act Of congress. In
fact, the eleventh amendment proposed
IN the third congress, and adopted, de-
clares that no state Of the United States
shall be sued by any citizen or by any
other state. It never was contemplated,
for one moment, by the founders Of our
government, that the ultimate power Of
all legislation should rest in the judicial
department; and that no act of congress
should become effective until approved
by q lot Of lawyers, selected for the
bench mainly by the corporations.
And what is true Of the constitution
Of the United States is equally true Of
our state constitution. Article 3, SEQ
tion /, Of the same provides:
The powers Of government shall be
divided into three distinct departments,
legislative, executive and Judicial; and
no person or persons belonging to or
constituting one Of these departments,
shall exercise any Of the powers properly
belonging 90 either Of the others, except
in the instances expressly provided In
this constitution.
The power to nullify and set aside q
law is equal TO the power to make laws,
since it restores the pre.existing legisla-
tive conditions which it was sought to
correct. Every statute Of our state
stands to-day simply by the permission
OF the courts; for there is not one that

Then / tried writing with my own
hand. Lucy persuaded me she could
read it. She used to sit by me and
keep the lines straight, or tell me she
did so have got nearly half a vol
ume that l wrote in this way-of
course quite undecipherable now.
But it brought on the crisis. Try to
write with your eyes shut for a min
ute or two, and you will see what a
strain it is upon the nerves. Mine
gave way, as you know. We had
worked six hours like this one day,
poor Lucy i'll agonies and imploring
me to stop, yet afraid TO thwart me.
That night could not sleep, and to-
ward morning delirium set in. The
doctors tell me there is no such thing
as brain fever, but it is good de-
scriptive term for the illness that fol
lowed.
AS / understand from what Lucy
tells me, when the fever first left me
was sane enough, but my memory
was gone. / could see perfectly.
Then as memory began to return
there came a struggle with the old
delusion, and relapse followed.
Last" as Tennyson says, II woke
sane, but well nigh close to death, {"
and by fortunate inspiration they
had kept me in the dark. Else,
think, the shock of returning con-
sciousness would have frightened
away my fluttering life. 1t was Lucy
who explained it all to me in the
silent watches of the night, little by
little, as could bear it. Poor Lucy |
| found her first gray hair as she
bent over me a day or two afterward.
But pulled it out, and now it is the
only memento of my blindness.
The doctors call it hysteria, which
they say can simulate anything, and
in such cases of simulated blindness
it is often almost impossible to dis
tinguish the false from the true, the
eye acting under tests almost as it
would if really incapable of sight
Hysteria is an ugly, womanish word.
For my own part, l would as soon
say insanity. And l am sure any
jury would give Lucy license to get
rid of me. But she does not want it.

A
Revolution
In Eating

has been brought about by the
introduction of CoTToLENE, the
new vegetable shortening. The
discovery Of this product, and the
demonstration of its remarkable
qualities, has attracted the widest
interest. Hitherto the common
shortening has been lard, or
indifferent butter. Every one has
probably suffered occasional dis
comfort from lard-cooked food ;
while it is well known that thous-
ands are obliged to abstain entire
ly from everything Of that kind.
To such people, CoTToLENE is of
peculiar value, widening as it
does, the range of what may be
eaten and enjoyed. CoTToLENE
is a cooking marvel. 1t confines
with the food-imparts to it a
tempting color, delicate flavor,
and an appetizing crispness.
No trace Of greasiness remains
to offend the taste, or disturb the
digestion.
CorToLENE is worthy Of the
careful notice Of all those who
value good food, of itself or for
its hygienic properties.

The violet sweet dearly love,
The pink, the pansy bold,
The blush rose, but all flowers abova
love the Marigold.
Fair flower, that in time Of old
Didst give thy heart away
To him who from his sphere Of gold
Does give to mortals dayl
Alasl for love he gave thee not,
Full vRinly thou didst sue
Unhappy shall name thy lot,
Or call thy love too true?
The god who changed thee to a flower
Hath.left thy heart the same;
Still dost thous show his beauty's power
In hue of orange flame.
Still dost thou lift thy dropping head
To catch his eyes bright ray,
And when his light no more is shed
Thy beauty fades away.
Poor Marigoldl love the we'll,
And most because, like me,
Thou hast a woeful tale TO tell
OF grief and constancy.
The violet sweet dearly love,
The pink, the pansy bold,
The blush rose, but all flowers above
! love the Marigold.

not feel the hush Of the divine lullaby?
On, put your tired head down on the
heaving bosom Of divine compassion,
while he puts his arms around you and
says: 20 widowed soul, ! will be thy
God. o orphaned soul, ! will be thy
protector. Do not cry" Then he touches
your eyelids with his fingers and sweeps
his fingers down your cheek and wipes
away all the tears Of loneliness and be-
reavement. Oh, what a tender and SYM
pathetic God has come fer us! 1 do not
ask you to lay hold Of him. Perhaps
you are not strong enough for that. I
do not ask you to pray. Perhaps you are
too bewildered for that. I only ask you
to let go and fall back into the arms of
everlasting love.
Soon you and will hear the click Of
the latch of the door of the sepulcher.
Strong men. will take us in their arms
and carry us down and lay us in the

New Gun For the British.

A new wire quick firing 8-inch gun
has just been adopted for the British
hawai- service. It has successfully passed
exhaustive trials. It is q long gun of
about 40 calibers and weighs seven tons.
1t carries an elongated shotof 100 pounds
distance of 1000 yards and will strike
IN enemy's ship or fortifcation four
miles distant. It is so rapid in its action
that, fired with cordite at q long range,
1t has three or four shots in the air at
the same time Each weapon contains
several miles of wire, it having been
found that a gun made up of this wire is
stronger than when manufactured of
homogeneous metal. Wire is also found
to stand the first shock Of the elastic
force Of cordite or gunpowder better
than iron or steel, while the long bore
enables the whole Of the charge to be
consumed. Chicago Tribune.

Attending "Teas" In Samoa.

A woman recently home from Samoa
tells of ''teas" in that South Sea island.
The Samoan tea is quite like any other
tea so far as it is an informal festivity
to promote sociability over asipof some
thing" The peculiar cordial brewed by
the native women is usually the "some-
thing" offered, drunk out of cocoa shell
beautifully polished. At the kings pic
MICS, fetes of which the monarch, is very
fond, tits imperative to drain your drink
ing vessel, and as the cordial is very ex-
hilarating this, in the case of weak head
cd visiting women, is sometimes disas-
trous.
"I went to tea while there" said the
woman in addition, (which Robert Louis
Stevenson gave. He is thoroughly Sa-
moanized, and we all sat ON mats on his
piazzas, he cross legged, exactly like the
natives. When returned the hospital
ity, provided bamboo seats and little
tables, but Mr.. Stevenson would have
none Of them, choosing mat instead,
though his courtesy is such that he apol-
ogized for adhering to a custom in my
house which I had not adopted. I saw
him frequently, and he seemed well, ex-
cept for an ashen appearance Of the face
at times that is quite startling. He is
charmed with that corner Of the world"

A PriestIx Hero.

Father William P. Treacy, who has
made such a sturdy, fight for his church
at Suedesboro, n. j., has won the sym
pathy and admiration of many who even
believe him wrong, and his life's history
shows that he is hero Three times he
has risked his life for others. His first
heroic act was to rescue colored boy
from death in the Chesapeake bay dur
ing q terrible storm when even the
trained life guards finched. In 1878 the
priest jumped into the Bronx near
Fordham college and saved the life of
James Murphy. When the village of
Aeganhoven in Belgium was destroyed
by fire, Father Treacy directed the work
of the resc7 rs from the roofs of the
burning bu dings and left them only
after every man, woman and child had
been accounted for.-Philadelphia Rec

In Whales Belly.

A correspondent who says that he once
spent three-quarters Of an hour in a
whales belly thus relates the strange
adventure: The good ship Europa, on
which I sailed as cabin boy, was an
chored off the coast Of Lower California.
We had taken a number Of whales and
were at work trying the Oil out of the
blubber cut from the whales lying along
side. To get at the fat inside the whales
we were cutting off the ends of two or
three ribs and hosting them up from the
whales body.
This left an opening large enough for
person to crawl into the whale and
strip off the fat, which was sent on deck
in buckets. We were short handed, and
the captain told me to go down into the
whale and strip off the fat. Boylike, I
jumped at the chance.
had not been at work long before l
heard one of the sailors sing out: tsPull
the boy out of the whale. The tackle
falls are stranding."
had a small monkey rope" tied
around my waist. The other end was
on the vessels deck. At the sailors cry
the captain jumped and grabbed it to
pull me out, but it was too late. The
tackle fall snapped in two, the ribs
closed together, and ], like Jonah Of old,
was shut up in a whales belly.
When the ribs came together, they
closed upon a toggle or pin used on the
tackle. This pin had come out and
caught between the ribs. Through it q
small hole for reeing rope had been
bored, and solely by means of this hole,
which enabled me to breathe, my life
was saved.
All was confusion on the ships deck.
The men dared not use their sharp cut
ting spades tolmake another incision for
fear of injuring me. The tears were
rolling down old Captain c. s face.
One of the men jumped on the whale,
and shouted through the hole in the
toggle that was all right. Then there
was great rejoicing. The old captain
jumped on the whale himself, and with
small sheathknife cut away at the
flesh until he came to my body.
Great care had to be exercised not to
disturb the teggle, for they knew I was
breathing through it. At length the
hole was large enough for me to crawl
through, and came on deck, sick and
weak from my experience. - Youths

our representatives In Turkey, Brazil and
Colombia.
Alexander w. Terrell of Texas, the
new minister to Turkey, is native of
Virginia and about "a years of age. His
family removed from Virginia to Mis-
souri, when he was an infant, and he was
educated and admitted to the bar in the
Muddy River State. He went to Austin
in 1858 and was elected Judge of
the second judicial district in 1857.
Upon the expiration of his term of Office
he entered the Confederate army as a
lieutenant colonel and was afterward
made colonel. He was brigade COM
mander when the war closed. He has
since then served two terms in the state
senate and made reputation as an
orator of brilliancy and force.
Thomas L. Thompson Of California,
who has been appointed minister to Bra
I'll, W born in Charleston, w. Va, May
81, 1873. He went to California in 1856
and started the Petaluma Journal, SUBJ
sequently buying out the Santa Rosa
Democrat, which he has edited and pub
lished for more than 80 years. He was
elected secretary of state in 1882, and be-
fore his term of office had expired was
elected to congress, in which body his
father and grandfather had served be-
fore him-his grandfather in the Seventh,
Eighth and Ninth congresses and his
father in the Thirtieth. In 1888 Mr..
Thompson was a candidate for re-elec-
ton to congress, but was defeated.
Since then he has devoted himself to adj
vocating the cause of tariff reform in the
columns of his paper, and he is said to
be largely responsible for the election of
a Democratic representative from his
district to both the Fifty-second and
Fifty-third congresses.
