by any reasonable construction of its terms
IL can be maintained as constitutional and
valid The contention TIT the act was an
attempt by Congress TO delegate Its power
and jurisdiction, or the power and the 5uris-
diction of the several houses to punish for
contempt, to the courts and that there
by the court, as the statute has never been
understood having any such purpose.
The effort to show the statute void Is pro-
bounced an utter failure. AS to the power or
the Senate to compel witnesses to TESTIFY,
the court said 1T experienced great difficulty
in distinctly marking the boundaries within
power to compel the disclosure OF facts
deemed important and OF delimting the
rights of the citizen to exemption from m
CURRY into his private affairs The sup
ject matter of the cases Immediately
and most seriously affected the SEN
ate itself and the great iegis,a-
the people. The dignity and integrity or
some of the members was openly and ser1,
ously questioned in a manner well calculated
to destroy public confidence and bring odlum
on that important branch of the govern
ment. There was no pretenSe that 10 an
swer the questions would criminate the wit
nesses in any way and it was their clear DUTY
as citizens to obey the law. The refusai
was at their peril and they must abide the
consequences prescribed by the statue Inc Inc

was intended as mere idle, pryinS proceeu-
ing, without any ultimate aim or object. Inc

1t is no secret that the managers of
the Democratic funereal feast tonight
had the utmost difficulty in getting one
of the party to speak on behalf of the
Democratic President. Even the Hon..
John Gilbert Shankin, who spent
months in going up and down Indiana
before the nomination of Mr.. Cleveland
extolling the Cleveland character and
craftsmanship. refused such service.
Gratitude for benefits received should
have prompted Minister Gray and Dis
trict Attorney Burke to have done their
best in clarifying the deeds of the adj
ministration. but gratitude in this case
seemed not a sufficient incentive.
Finally, it is limited. Hon. Charles l..
Jewett was drafted for the unwelcome
task Even he would have fled the town
in dismay had he not been granted the
privilege of freeing his mind. Never
was President so without defenders;
never one before who would not have
had half dozen champions on such an
occasion.

KISSES AND DAMAGE SUITS.

The tunnel, the pretty woman in the
railway car and the stolen kiss have
figured so long as stock properties of
the professional iokers that the public
has come to regard the tales which are
composed of these elements as fabrica-
tions of the funny mems brains. The
report that an Alabama woman. wild
ow at that has sued for a thousand dol
lars damages from the man who kissed
her while going through tunnel will
therefore occasion genuine surprise IL
goes to prove that the tunnel and the
kiss may really form a cause and Sc
quence, and suit will necessarily bring
UP for legal settlement that old and dis
puted question whether. as general
proposition, kiss, bestowed as mark
of admiration, can actually be damag-
ing to the recipient, even though she be
unwilling. She may be indignant, nay,
full of rage, at the liberty taken, but
can she prove to the satisfaction of
jury that the injury to her feelings is of
such critical character that it can only
be healed by a financial salve? In this
case, however. the salute in the tunnel.
seems not to have been an impulsive
tribute to the widows charms, but a
mistake. 1t was. in short, not intended
for the widow at all. but for the young
wife of the kisser by whom he fondly
thought he had seated himself. In the
dim light he had CROPPED his way to the
side OF the wrong woman, and hence the
damage suit. The blunder is evidently
at the bottom of her desire for revenge.
If il had not been so obviously case of
misplaced confidence she might have
overlooked the indiscretion, but no nor
mally constituted woman can do other
wise than resent a caress which was not
meant for her. To be kissed and then to
hear. Pardon me, / thought it was an
other woman, Is to have insult piled
on the original injury, and ii is no Won
der that the widows wrath Is of sort
not easily appeased II her case is put
properly before a jury of chivalrous
Alabamians II is by no means certain
but that the thousand dollars will be
held n moderate compensation for the
outrage to her sensibilities.
But, while the widow Is suing the Of

| tunate man doing? She did not get the

she not. therefore. a grievance? She

UNHAPPY ARMENIANs.
They Receive Little or No Protection
from Officials I'm Power.


That the recent outrages are conspicuous
by their extent rather than character, the
following incident which came within the
writer's own knowledge, on the ground at
the time will show. In June, 1893 four
young Armenians and their wives. living
only two miles from the city of VAN
where the Governor and O. large military
force reside, were picking herbs on the
hillside. They carefully kept together and
observed by, a band Of passing Kurds, who,
in broad daylight, fell upon the defenseess
party, butchered the young men. and as
to. the brides. it is needless to relate fur
Their. The villagers going out the next day
found the four bodies, not simply dead, but
slashed and disfigured almost beyond rec
ognition. They resolved to make desper-
ate effort to let their wrongs at least be
known. sN
they placed on each the naked remains of
of the victims, with his distracted wild
ow sitting by the side, shorn of her hair
in token of dishonor. This gruesome pro-
cession soon reached the outskirts Of the
city, where it was met by soldiers sent to
turn 1t back. The unarmed villagers Of
fered resistance, but declared their
readiness to perish IL not heard The SOL
diers shrink from extreme measures that

rapidly gathering about the scene. The
Turkish bayonets retreat before the barred
breasts of the villagers. With ever-increas-

cession passed before the doors of the

and other high officials. till it paused be-

days some Kurds were brought in, among
whom were several who were positively
identified by the women; but upon their
denying the crime. they were Immediately
released and escaped. The utter hopeless
ness of securing any Justice so appar.

their use. and under the care given it
In recent years has become a valuable
collection of books. The person in
charge of it should be much more than
a mere custodian. An acquaintance
with public questions sufficient to
guide the patrons in their search among
public documents, pamphlets and State
papers for data often needed in legis-
lative affairs. familiarity with general
literature, knowledge of the needs of
libraries, added to a judgment neces-
sary in purchasing new books, are all
essential to the making of good Ii
brarian. Constant changes In the Of
fee are detrimental to the symmetrical
growth of the library, but If a change
must be made every two years care in
filling the place becomes even the more
needful. Common sense and not senti-
ment should rule in the matter.
