the relations OF the executive and the
legislative branches of the government
was presented yesterday. Mr.. Vest
eloquently protested against the dispo-
sftion of the administration to presume
too much by assuming legislative du-
ties or functions. Even while Mr.. Vest
ives speaking Mr.. McCreary, a Ken
lucky democrat, was warning the mem
bers at the other end of the capitol
that. in addressing themselves to the
Bayard affair. they were dealing with
a question the proper disposition of
which lies with the president, and that
congress was seeking to interfere with
the executive department of the gov
eminent
He likes to rule If men in congress do
not come his way, he pursues them
when they try to get elected for an
other term. The list is long Of defeated
democrats and of democratic states
that have been carried into the opposi-
ton column as the result of admins
tration influence exerted during Mr..
Cleveland's time. Kentucky's empty
senate seat is one of the fruits of
Clevelandism; that is the right name
for 1t. The disposition on the part of
the executive to encroach is shown in
minor instances like those mentioned
by Senator Vest.
This cannot be a dangerous tend
ency, because 1t cannot be long enough
pursued. 1t gets it's effective check in
the fact that two terms for one man
in the office of president are all the
people will vote. OF course however,
1t is a tendency that is disagreeable
for those who are made it's victims.
Senator Vest is one Of these and, in this
respect, he is in the company of many
another good democrat; so numerous
body of men is thus made up that
to-day's signs are that when President
Cleveland goes out of power the rem
nant of his party will go out with him.

He Is IN II.

There is no doubt as to the sincerity
OF Governor Morton's candidacy-the
New York districts have been thorough
ly worked in his interest. Already
many of the district conventions in the
state have been held. with results so
conspicuously in Morton's favor that
the opposition to him in New York will
amount to nothing more than an insig-
niflcant contingent. Somehow, Cover
nor Morton-excellent citizen that he
is-seems strangely out of place in the
presidential contest. His hackers are
devoting themselves almost exclusively
to the work of having 1t appear that he
is not too old to be president: they
make him out picturesque veteran
who is good for a dozen years to come.
His candidacy is the more odd because
the suspicion is widespread that he is
merely to serve Platts purposes when
the st. Louis convention meets. There
is warrant for that suspicion. Yet the
results already reached make 1t clear
that New York will be for the gov
ernor.

FINISH 1T.

In several instances the Anaconda
opera house fund has received gener-
Gus additions from citizens who have
called this week at the Hoge DAILY bank
and put their names to the list. The
fund is growing rapidly-if those who
are disposed to help this good cause
along will call at the bank without
delay and make their subscriptions.
the list can soon be closed. 1t is of the
utmost importance that conclusions be
reached speedily, so that a definite
answer can be given in regard to the
booking of attractions for the coming
season. The opera house seems as
sured; the subscriptions made by the
business men have been gratifying.
But in this matter prompt action is
required, and those who have not yet
subscribed are urged to give to the
matter their personal attention and
round out the list at once.

TT rs Mr.. CLEVELAND'S WAY.

Senator Vest is willing to let every
body know that he has no friendship
for the democratic administration
speech making. sometimes he is severe
ly blunt.
In what he said yesterday. Senator
Vest directed public attention to the
fact that gradually the executive
branch of the government is revealing
a tendency to usurp the functions of
the legislative branch: Secretary Nor
toms recent conduct and the disposition
shown by the president in several diff
ferent directions are in illustration of
that tendency. This tendency is the
more noteworthy because 1t is very
unusual. The three coordinate powers
in the government OF the United States
were admirably adjusted by those who
framed the constitution: indeed. IL is
an adjustment which has been warmly
praised by specialists who have made
our constitution a study.
There have been times when fear
was awakened lest the legislative
Drancn-tne conBfesS-mlBnt arrogate
20 itself some OF the functions which
are lodged in the executive depart
ment. but even Mr.. Lincoln. with his
mass OF unusual responsibility, was
not seriously accused of presenting
upon functions which were not clearly
his under the constitutions terms
Just after Mr.. Lincoln's time. however
many intelligent observers warned the
American people that danger lurked in
the policy revealed in congress; that
was a tendency on the part Of the leg
islative branch 10 take 10 itself func-
tions which the constitution intended
10 lodge with the executive. 1t is a
part OF history that this tendency cor
rected itself.
A curious coincidence growing out OF

AFTER THE CONVENTION.

When the Montana republicans meet
in convention. May IL. they will pass
resolutions demanding the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver-there is no
doubt on that score. What will interest
the public will be to ascertain whether
the convention will instruct it's st.
Louis delegates as to the course they
shall pursue there.
The signs are that the Montana re-
publicans who go to St Louis will be a
lonesome lot. At present the republican
tide is running i'm favor of a financial
plank so openly hostile to silver as TO
be perfectly clear. Better that than
the misleading phrases that were
woven into the Minneapolis platform OF
1892. Among all the republican candi-
dates there is not a man who is sus-
pected of friendliness for free coinage:
the question is whether. within sixty
days. the straddlers among the candi-
dates will not find themselves prepared
openly to assert their allegiance to the
goldbug school.
In any event. the st. Louis conven-
ton will not be a pleasant place for
those of our republican neighbors who
will attend II as delegates. Morton.
Reed. Quay. Mckinley and the rest of
them will come with goldbug resolu-
tons of endorsement from two or three
dozens of states. The Montana resolu-
lions will be all right until June 16:
what will they stand for after the gold
bugs at st. Louis have passed upon
them?

BEN BOLT.

Don't you remember sweet Alice. Ben
| Bolt,
Sweet Alice, whose hair was so brown;
| Who wept with delight when you gave
her a smile.
| And trembled with fear at your frown7
In the old churchyard in the valley, Ben
Bolt,
In a corner obscure and alone,
| They have fitted a slab of the granite so
gray.
| And Alice lies under the stone.
Don't you remember the hickory tree.
Ben Bolt.
Which stood at the foot of the hill.
Where together we've lain in the noon
day shade
And listened to Appleton's mill?
! The mill wheel has fallen to pieces, Ben
Bolt;
The rafters have tumbled in,
| And the quiet which crawls round the
walls as you gaze
Has followed the olden din.
Do you mind the cabin of logs. Ben Bolt,
At the edge of the painless wood.
| And the button ball tree with its motley
limbs,
Which nigh by the doorstep stood?
| The cabin to ruin has gone, Ben Bolt
The tree you would seek for in vain.
| And where once the lords of the forest
Are the grass and the golden grain.
And don't you remember the school. Ben
Bolt,
With the master so cruel and grim.
And the shaded nook in the running
brook,
Where the children went to swim?
Grass grows on the masters grave. Ben
Bolt,
And the spring of the brook is dry,
And of all the boys that were schoolmates
then,
There are only you and I.
There is change in the things loved,
Ben Bolt:
They have changed from the old to the
new;
But 1 feel in the deeps of my spirit the
truth,
There never was change in you.
Twelvemonths twenty have passed, Ben
Bolt,
Since first we were friends: yet hail
Your presence a blessing, your friendship
a truth,
Ben Bolt, of the salt-sea gale.
