Cold in t Northwest,

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. 16.-Afs
ter three winters that scarcely de-
served The name, the Northwest
is now EXPERIENCING enc Of the old
fashioned kind. The present JAMS
nary has beaten the record for ins
tense and sustained cold weather,
and there is no prospect for a
change. The mercury went below
zero in November and has been
above that mark only at rare in
t~ervals since. On Christmas day
it was twenty-five below,and about
the same on New Years, and has
maintained a steady gain ever
since. At ST. Vincent and Min
neiska 40 below has been reached,
and she cold has been nearly as
severe all over the Western and
Northwestern part Of the State.
Yesterday 4 cube OF ice, six tee
thick, was cut from Vadnais Lake
just outside the city, and is the
heaviest seen since the famous
block which formed the corner,
stone of the ~ica-paiace in 1886.
The cold has, however, been en-
tirely without the blizzard feature
and not only has there been an
entire absence ~of fatalities, bu'
not a Ease of suffering hes been re-
ported.

The Kansas Case.

The Kansas Supreme Court de-
cided on Friday last that it had no
jurisdiction III the mandamns pro-
cesdings instituted by the Repubs
licans to compel the Secretary OF
State to hand the election returns
over to George L. Douglas, the
Republican Speaker This decis~
ion conforms to the doctrine we
have taught in regard to the res
epective rights of the several de-
partments Of the goverument-legs
islature, executive, ard judicial
to be left undisturbed. We never
could tolerate the proposition
that d court of justice had the
right to pass upon the titles of
members of a State Legislature (or
a national Legislature, as to that
matter) to the seats which the
State and National Constitutions
provide must be assigned to them
By the legislative bodies themselves,
Each State Constitution, as also
the Federal Constitution, provides
that each house OF the legislative
body shall be the sole judge of the
elections, qualification, and res
turns Of its. members. And we
never could understand how in
New York Judge Rumsey under
took to perform a duty SO plainly
and Enthusiastically imposed by the
organic law uyon the two houses
of The Legislature.
"All's well that ends we'll" The
Kansas CAGE affords a precedent
which ought to commend itself to
the righteous Judgment of every
court which may hereafter be
asked to usurp the functions of a
legislative body. Let us stand upon
tho old ways-super antiques
vias.

Terrible Disaster.

SAN Francisco, Jan. IA
Canton correspondent sends this
account ola terrible disaster in a
country town about fifty miles
from Canton. which occurred early
last month, and resulted in the
loss of nearly 1000 lives, A baud
of robbers made a raid on the wills
lage OF Kan lie, in Shin Bing dis
triet. They first levied a tribute OF
several thousand taels on the prizes
OF the temple. The latter had just
received large offerings from the
people, who were having holiday,
with dramatic entertainments I'M
der a big shed temporarily erected
IN front Of the temple, The angry
robbers applied torches to the shed,
and the people in a panic rnshed
into the temple for refuge. The
main entrance OF the temple, which
was Of wood, caught fire from the
fierce heart Of the burning shed,
and over 400 men, women aud
children we're either burned,
smothered or tra1pled under foot.
Most of the fatalities resulted from
suffoca.ion, as a strong wind drove
the smoke into the temple. AT the
time of writing, the roll of missing
numbered 1910. and it may be
that some of these were burned
beyond recognition The disaster
is the worst that has occurred in
South China for several years.

PASSING AWAY.

Each day, each hour the country,
irrespective Of party, watches with
intense, eager interest the latest in
formation from the bedside of the
dying statesman, James 9. Blaine.
At each latest report, despite the
hope of all, it cannot be concealed
that the great Republican leader

the attack which is fast sapping his

BLAINE.
His Disease Still Remains a Mystery to
All Except the Family.

WASHINGTON, January lex
Secretary Blaine's disease remains a
mystery to all but the family and
attending physicians. The latter
decline, without the express author
ity Of the family, to divalge the mas
ture Of the complaint which has
now kept thei patient in bed for
seven Or eight weeks with constantly
diminishing strength, and frequent
s'spells," threatening speedy dlsso-
luton. It was hoped to day when
the physicians announced that at a
specified hour they would be pre-
pared to issue a fuller statement on
this subject than had heretofore been
given out, that some facts would be
allowed to t~ranspire which would
satisfy the natural desire Of the
public to ascertain the tauth in re-
gard to the illness. and at the same
time stop the crop of contradictory
and sensational umor TO- pre-
yailing.
This anticipation was not realized,
there was a delay in the issue of the
promised bulletin, and when it did
appear it contained nothing but
what had previously been made
known. Mr. Blaine has at various
times in recent years been treated by
physicians ether than those in i'm
mediate attendance upon him at the
present time. In the list are DR..
N. S. Lincoln, one Of the most pop
uIar consulting physicians of Wash
ingtop; d, J. S, Magruder, d Wash
ington physician of large practice;
Drs. DAVIS, IF New York, Burbanks
and Others. Not Ole of these gen
tlemen is able to state the nature of
Nj. Blaine's organic disease. One
of them, however, said to-day that
he had once prepared an ineligible
bulletin as to Mr.. Blaine's condition.
but was peremptorily requested to
withhold it from publication. He
added, "rhe revelation of Mr..
Blaine's illness will probably only be
made known when the certificate of
the health Office is made public, and
I fear that viii occur before long,.

The Honor of the State Should be Pre-
served.

In January, 1868, when the late
Governor Worth became public
treasurer he found the treasury
empty and urgent demands from
the Insane and Deaf and Dumb asy-
lums for money to defray their ex-
penses. Under authority of law be
borrowed from some patriotic citi-
zens, who came to his rescue, sums
of money with which to supply the
asylums and to pay the per diem of
members of the legislature, and
gave the note of the State signed by
him as public treasurer. He bor-
rowed from David Hutton, who was
always devoted to the interests of
his State, $4,000 and gave a note
payable in twelve months with G
per cent. interest.
A bill has been introduced b.
Representative Crimes directing the
public treasurer to pay this amount
to MI. Hinton's executive, and II
shouid be passed.
Tt is a Just debt; the State viii.
some day have it to pay, and, as it Ii
able to do so now, the Legislature
ought to make provision for its pay
ment. It was used for civI purpose
alone, has no war faint, and the fam.
lily Of this patriotic citizen, who now
need the uaouey, are entitled to hav'
it paid.
The law weald make az individ'

to provide for it. We hope and be
