meet again and fill the vacancies in the
regular way. The trouble in each State
was that the Legislature had failed to
elect and the governor assumed the right
to appoint senator I'D interim, The
Montana appointment is regarded as a
test case, and the decision in 1t as APP
plicable TO the others. That decision
was admittedly on the merits of the case
and in direct line with precedent. 1t was
to the effect that the governors power 10
fill senatorial vacancy is limited to a
vacancy happening when the Legislature
is not in session and the appointment
only runs until the next Legislature
meets. The decision is warning to
State Legislatures that they must not
permit deadlocks on senatorial elections
If they do they forfeit their right to
the senator for the time being and the
governor cannot repair the omission.
Tho theory of the decision is that the
office of United States senator is made
by the constitution one for the Legisla-
huiG w hllg anu IL U NaSuhkN OtSuio
while the Legislature is in session the
Legislature must choose or the vacancy
must continue until filled by subse-
quent Legislature.
In Montana the Legislature adjourned
without electing successor to Wilbur
F. Sanders, and the governor appointed
Lee Mantle to fill the vacancy. The
United States Senate has decided that
Mr.. Mantle is not entitled to seat in
that body.
In Washington the Legislature failed
10 elect successor to John b. Allen
and the governor appointed that gentle
man to be his own successor.
In Wyoming the Legislature failed to
elect a successor to Francis E. Warren
and the governor appointed A. @. Book
with to fill the vacancy. Mr.. Beckwith
has recently sent in to Governor Osborne
his resignation of the Appointment.
The constitutional Interpretation In
these cases ia perfectly well established
and the precedent for the Montana de-
cision is nearly one hundred years old.
The first case of the kind in the history
Of our country happened in Delaware in
1894. Hon. George Read, then Sena-
tor from Delaware, resigned in Septem-
Der, 1898, to accept the Office of Chief
Justicehto which he had been appointed
by Governor Clayton. On March 10th,
1794, there having been session of the
Legislature in the meantime, Governor
Clayton appointed Kensey Johns, ST., tc

shock oven better than the physicians
had dared to hope he would. He was
kept in bed, 30 treated that he slept
much of the time, and after four days
absence, during which time the country
was wondering where no was, il was
deemed safe and advisable to permit him
10 land ut Gray Gables. Those who
were there knew that he was weak, that
he had been suffering, but with q few ex-
ceptions II was supposed that his Illness
was due entirely to his rheumatic
troubles.
The treatment indicated was absolute
rest and such mental diversion as Mr..
Cleveland's favorite recreation, fishing,
afforded. His physician encouraged
him to make these fishing trips, there
being nothing else to do than to dress
the wound, which seemed, after few
days, TO be healing in q most satisfac-
tory manner. 1t became necessary,
however, for the President TO return to
Washington, aud that journey and the
necessity OF living in Washington dur
ing the heated spell gave Mr.. Cleveland's
physician very great anxiety. 1t was,
of course, noticed that DR.. Bryant was
constantly at Gray Gables, accompanied
Mr.. Cleveland on his tourney to WASH
ington, and was with him much of the
time there.
The DOCTORS practiced eye saw that
there was danger--perhaps not of re-
currence of the disease, but of a setback
in the process OF healing-if the Presi-
dent remained in Washington, and his
imperative command was that it was
higher duty for Mr.. Cleveland, both to
the country and to himself and family,
to return Immediately to Buzzard's Bay,
the tonic air Of which admirably agreed
with him and served the more rapidly
to overcome the effects of the operation.
1t has been said that the extraordi-
nary and unexplained departure of Mr..
Cleveland from Washington was not the
act of a President who realized the des-
perate situation OF the country; but Mr..
Cleveland did realize it. He ALMOST re-
belled at the command Of his physician.
He knew his departure would be mis-
construed, but he also knew that not
from him at least of those around him
could the reason for that departure be
set forth. He had his own way, how
ever, in so far that he announced TO the
country that he was TO return to Buzz
Yards Bay because he was compelled to
heed the monitor of his physician.
The physicians, who have been talk
ing among themselves about this sor-
row, are not yet decided what it was

Well Donei

The news Of the passage by the House
of the Wilson repeal bill, brought to the
people of Wilmington the earliest and
welcome intelligence of the decisive
action of the House upon this question:
of such vital public interest.
Ihe vote in favor of repeal was larger
than had been hoped for. 1t is espe-
cially gratifying in its showing that
both the great parties, through their
representatives in the House, have de-
clared in favor of an honest dollar and
thereby taken this financial issue out of
politics. The Republican members have
done nobly. The Philadelphia Record
well says: 1.-THE register of Republican
names is record to be proud of. There
is, however, occasion for even more pro-
found qualification in the fact that q
majority Of the Democratic members of
the House also voted for repeal. If the
matter had been left solely to the de-
cision of Democratic representatives the
majority for repeal would have been
sufficient for the purpose, and as large
as the friends of honest money had
originally expected on poll Of the
entire vote of the House."
Now for the Senate. The very large
majority-more than a two-thirds-for
the repeal of the silver purchase clause
of the Sherman act, given by the House,
must have wholesome influence in ex-
pediting action by the Senate and in re.
lieving the trade and industries of the
country from the incubus which had
threatened their prostration. That vote
is notification that there must be nc
time wasted in filibustering delay.
Moreover, the vote of yesterday doubt.
