terday that he would be forwarded
money to defray the expenses of the
January term of the federal courts that
open in this city next Tuesday. Marshal
Donahower says this looks like the mat

Mr.. Hay are tied up with a contest. He
says that $1,000 will about pay the ex-
penses of jurors and witnesses for the
coming term of the court, but it will
take more than that to pay all expenses.
He expects that amount will be sent

informed the department of the amount
actually needed. His requisition for
expenses for the quarter ending Dec. 81
has tyet been honored. The expenses
for that period include over $4,000,
which is due the Minnesota state peni-
Tertiary for taking care of about 100
federal prisoners that are now confined
in the Saltwater penitentiary under
contract between the United States and

Poetry About the v. A.

advice about his vermiform appendix:

To the young man who fears his appendix most
sinister.
Don't let such tribe cause you much worry.
And don't cut It out In such rip-roaring hurry.
Perhaps you may learn when It is shorn
That it's better to live with It, than to die
when It's gone
But II perchance cannot dissuade you.
And such be your fear that nothing will aid
you,
But the certain knowledge that you are with

Let him cut out all else that's inside
From your innermost inwards to your outermost

Let him cut out your liver. lest 1t might all

And cut out your heart, for fear 1t might fail

And cut out your lungs for fear OF consumption
And cut out your spleen or It might catch

1T NEEDS EXAMINATION.

II Is said that the Republican ma
iority of the Constitutional Convention
will submit the canal article and the
apportionment article to the people
separately and the remainder OF the
amended Constitution as whole.
There was strong partisan opposi-
ton TO the submission Of the appor-
tionment article as separate section,
on the ground that this Is just what the
Democrats desire. 1t Is believed that
the fragrant unfairness OF the appor-
tIonment makes probable Its rejection
by the people. But for this very reason
the caucus decided to let 1t stand alone,
as II thrown In with the other articles
It might risk the success OF changes of
yet greater importance to the Republi-
can party.
1t is, OF course, desirable that all
the new provisions be carefully ex-
amined and thoroughly discussed before
they are voted on by the electors. The
Constitution needs revision. but better
bear with 1t a little longer than adopt
an Objectionable Constitution which may
be fastened on the State for years.
