AN INDIANAPOLIS court has just rem
dered an important decision relative to
the right of the judiciary to interfere
with the acts of the legislative branch
of the government. The suit was
brought to Overturn the recent appor-
tionment Of the state into legislative
districts, and the court holds that it has
(, no Jurisdiction in the premises unless it
lean be shown that there has been a
pgross perversion of legislative powers.
IT insists upon as complete separation
Of the functions of the two departments
of governments as possible. The decis-
ion IS good sense as we'll as good law.
Gf EX-PREsTDENT HARRISON is to start
> his boom for 1896 at indianapolis today.
He has promised to make a speech at
the Indiana Republican state conven-
q ton, in which he is expected to enun-
Iciate the gospel of the party according
ITO st. Benjamin and 10 rally all his adj
sherents to his standard. His utterances
will be of great general interest. but
will be especially SO TO MessrS. McKin-
ley and Reed. for they are expected to
be an enumeration of the liues upon
which the next presidential battle will
be fought ii Benny shall be the candi-
date.
eulogists of the late Representative
O'Neiil. Here is part of what he said
in the house upon that melan choly &C.
aston:
''Our dear, dead brother has gone to
.he city where the streets are paved with
gold, and which is really much more
beautiful than the White City which
lately sat OH the shores of Lake Michi-
gan"
That might be fine upon stove polish
ad. Poor Charley O'NGlll.
IT REMAINED for the Pioneer Press to
be taken in and done for on the bogus
religious circular which it printed yes
terday. But the P. P. can dive deeper
in political filth and come uD nastier
and smiling, as though it tasted good,
than any other paper on earth. Hence
it Is natural it should think evil of
others. The Dispatch had the same
document. but, possessing more decency
and discretion than the p. p. it did not
print it.
RUMORS are afloat in London that the
Princess of Wales has become insane,
and is confined III private asylum.
The fact that she has not been seen in
public for many months lends pausi-
bility to the story. Unfortunately, in
sanity is not an unknown faint in the
family from which she sprung. Her sad
fate will be universally regretted. for
by her amiable disposition she won the
love of all.
THE Boston mob that attacked the
fragment of Coxey's army that passed
through that city on Sunday did itself
no credit. No matter what the notions
of the army may be. its members are
entitled to protection as long as they do
not transgress the law. They were in
vading the privileges Of no person when
attacked, and the ruffianism of the mob
is without palliation OF excuse.
RESIGNATION from the United States
senate is powerful health restorer.
Senator Walthail, of Mississippi. who
had one foot in the grave before he
palled out, is we'll again. Senator Ed
munds, who lost his health in the SEN
ate, has grown SO robust since he re-
tired that he earns $4,000 year. If
Senator Sherman should resign, his
health would come back TO give him en-
jOyment of his millions acquired in
public life.
The prominence OF Gen. CoXey as a
presidential possibility causes the Trib-
une, of Chicago, to remark that
''Coxey doesn't understand human
nature" No more does another ''pos-
sibility." the governor of Ohio. If that
individual understood human nature or
how to govern a state, there would have
been no botneration with the Coxey
movement, which is but the logical fruit
of Republican dogmas.
SENATOR GEORGE and Representative
Boen propose that the congressional
salary be reduced from $1,000 to $4,000
in the interest of economy. What's the
matter with these gentlemen covering
the $1,000 surplus of their own pay into
the treasury, thereby showing that they
mean it?
CHAUNCEY DEPEw, riding over the
country upon his special train at rate
of ninety-tive miles in ninety-three min
utes, is having a good deal better time
than he would find in the White house.
The next president will not be New
Yorker. Ride, Chauncey, ride!
A CoRREsPo NDENT asks: els it cor
rect to address the president of this
United States as Your Excellency?'
1t is not. There are no excellencies in
the United States. The proper form
is: no the President, Sir" or ITO the
President, Dear Sir"
Boss QUAY, Boss Magee and Don
Cameron bave put up up job ON
Galusha Grow. They want his place,
and intend to get it. The eX-speaker is
of the old-fashioned school of Repub-
cans, when here aud there politician
of that party was honest.
THE New York Tribune, scarifying
Tammany's police rule, omits all refer.
ence to Plattism. without which exist
ing corruption would be impossible.
Piattism must go whenever Tammany
is expelled. The evil to be repaired is
double-headed. Smash them both.
