held by the senate. and 20 he voted for
the conviction Of johnson, although
acting as vice-president, and although,
too. he was to step into Johnsons
shoes II Johnson should be convicted.
Essentially the case of the acting
governor of Delaware is just like that
of Senator Wade. II Watson had not
voted. the constituency that elected
him to the state senate would have
been without any voice or vote in the
smatter-and that obviously would have
lbqen an injustice to that constituency.
For a clear understanding OF the
case. II should be borne in mind that
In Delaware there is no such office as
lieutenant governor. The state consti-
tuition provides that in the event of
the death of the governor. the presi-
dent OF the senate shall perform the
duties OF the governor. The president
OF the senate is one Of the regularly
elected members of that body chosen
by his fellow members TO preside over
them-he to retain his vote at all
times. 1t would seem that the same
man cannot exercise executive and
legislative functions at the same time,
and that the elevation of senator to
the Office of governor would create
vacancy in the senate. Ordinarily this
would result In other states. but such
has not been the practice in Delaware.
A similar case occurred several years
ago. In which a senator succeeded a
governor In the same way. With gen.
eral acquiescence he held both Offices,
even going so far as to return to the
senate to take his seat In that body
after the people had elected a governor
to occupy the place he was temporarily
Milling. There appears to have been no
objection to this course. which was
accepted as precedent. and has been
followed in the present instance.
Du Points prospects of sitting in the
United States senate are not very
bright. and as he il an anti-silver man
no tears will be shed out this way II,
as Is altogether probable, the senate
rejects him. Acting Governor Watson
will then appoint somebody as United
States senator who will doubtless be
another anti-silver man. But IL the
senate follows the precedents II estab-
lished In the cases Of Montana, wy
oming and Washington in 1892. Wat
sons appointee will also be rejected.
So the goldbug vote in the senate will
be reduced by one.

An Interesting Precedent.

Simmered down. the facts in the case
OF the Delaware senatorship are these:
The republican speaker OF the house
took IL upon himself to announce the
election OF Du Pont on the assumption
that Acting Governor Watson. who is
president of the Delaware senate. had
no right to vote. Eliminating watson's
vote. Du Pont would have a majority
Of the whole number OF votes cast, the
ballot resulting Is TO IL.
AS to Watson's right to vote. the
Philadelphia Times goes into the ques-
ton exhaustively and discovers several
precedents. the most important ana
convincing one being the case of SEN
ator Wade. who was president pro tenn.

that the proceedings were brought to
imp,ach Andrew johnson. II was
claimed that Wade could vote only
when the vote Of the senate was a tie.
as is the case OF the vice president.
and it was further argued that as he
would become the president Of the
United States in the event OF the con-
viction OF johnson. he was doubly pre-
cluded from voting on the ballot to
dtermine the fnal issue of the case.
Wade took the position that ne
was a senator from the state Of Ohio,
and that his state could not be dis
franchised on an important vote in the
senate. In this position he was up

During the month Of April the rail-
road business Of the country showed
up well. Each week Of the month re-
vealed a gain. and compared with the
April Of 1894 the April of 1895 was very
far ahead. The Northern Pacific made
an extraordinary increase in its earn
ings. For the fourth week alone It re-
ports an increase OF s7s.703. and for the
entire month an increase of $237, 1sS.
The Illinois Central reports for the
month of April gross earnings amount
ing to H,44s.960. This is not only an
advance of s1o1.535 over the earnings
in April. 1894. but is the largest amount
earned by the road in any one month
Of its history. The New York Central
reports an increase Of s177.442 over its
earnings in April of last year. and this,
too. in the face of the fact that the
road is having hot competition in east
bound freights. All this augurs a
steady Improvement in the country's
business

About half an hour later Mr.. Dana
came back from his walk with Whit

Dana entered the office as bright and
beaming as a boy. Coming up to where

question. There will be numerous cheap
excursions during the summer, the dates
of which, with few exceptions, have not

tised shortly.
The first OF the season will be given by
the Union Pacific to Salt Lake. (See notice
in another column. There will be others
to this most attractive city as soon as
the lake bathing season opens. 1t Is
probable that tho rates made by the
Union Pacific to Colorado points will
probably attract the largest number OF
people during the season. The National
Educational association meets in Denver
July 9th, for which a one fare rate for the
round trip available for alD has been
made, TO Denver. Colorado Springs. Pu-
eblo and Manitou, and from these points

occasion the Union Pacific has arranged
to run a special train from Butte about
August 81.

JURY SYSTEM.

That our systems of trial by
jury is defective has been
argued by many and believed
by all acquainted with its work
ings. The Nation says that
the newer states of the West
are naturally far more ready to
break with the traditions and
try experiments than the older
commonwealth of the East.
The Utah constitutional con
vention has put in the funda-
mental law framed for that in
coming state a radical change
in the jury system, by which
eight is substituted for twelve
as the number to be empanelled,
and the agreement of three.
fourths of the eight will be
sufficient to constitute a verdict
in civil cases. The trial of this
experiment will be watched with
interest. The last Legislature of
California also authorized a
new feature in jury trials-the
empanelling of one or two ex
ira Jurors, at the discretion of
the presiding judge, who shall
hear the evidence like the regu
lar jury, but take no other part
in the proceedings except when
death or illness removes one or
two from the box, in which case
one or both Of the reserves may
be substituted. This will pre-
vent the not infrequent occur
renee in protraeted cases of a
mistrial by reason of a break
in the jury; and as the discre-
ton allowed the judge will not
require a recourse to the new
system in the mass of petty
cases, there seems to be no OBJ
lection to the plan.

.SSIPATING
LONDON'S FOG

Unless some effort is made,
says a contemporary the eli
mate of London will very soon
become so facilitating, de-
pressing and life-endangering
that life in it will no longer be
worth living. Our smoke and
our fog are our destruction. To
get rid of our smoke would be
to largely get rid of our fogs.
Have We energy enough left in
us, it continues, to essay the
mighty task; or must we con-
tinue to tolerate until we are
all sulfocated? As a matter of
fac, we contend "the mighty
task" is. constantly being
"essayed." But it is not enough
that the inventor tries to do his
share. Our contemporary
should try to rouse parochial
aud corporate bodies to a little
more practical enthusiasm on
the subject.-London Inven-

Eagerness of Great BibliophiIes.

Twenty years ago the bookseller Pot
tier was the best known purveyor to the
book lovers, and every day defiled into
his shop a brilliant assembly of cele-
brated book buyers.
One morning Paulin Paris, the Mar
quis Ganay, M. de Lignerolles and M.
Yemeniz met in his shop, but POTTER
was not there. He had left the day be-
fore for Brussels.
What is a bookseller to do in Brussels
if not to buy an extraordinary book?
Thus thought the four book lovers,
and at once in their four minds came
the same idea-"What may I do to
meet POTTER before any one else?''
The next morning at 80 Ganay
came to POttier's shop. None of his ri
walls was there. He rubbed his hands
in glee.
But Paulin Paris had got up earlier.
At 5 80 he was walking on the quays
of the station, waiting for the Brussels
train, proud that none of his rivals had
had the same idea
He had counted, alas without Yeme-
niz, who had gone to Creil to meet tie
train.
The train arrived Yemeniz rushed
into the compartment occupied by the
bookseller, affected surprise at seeing
him, and after a thousand preliminary
remarks asked him what he had bought
at Brussels.
The noise of the conversation woke
neighbor in an opposite corner. The
neighbOr was no other than NJ de Lig-
nerolles, who had gone to Brussels to
meet the bookseller.
Nobody has ever known what book
POTTER bought at Brussels.
But the anecdote was soon known,
and POTTER never talked without smil-
ing Of his trip to Brussels, where he had
gone to collect an inheritance from an
ncle.-Paris Figaro
