SUGAR BOUNTY CASES.

The celebrated sugar bounty cases
have been decided by the United States
supreme court. The opinion of the
court, which was by Associate Justice
Peckham. holds that the law was valid
ana that Comptroller Bowler was
wrong in Withholding the bounty
money. This means that several mil
lions of public money will go into pri-
vate purses. More than that, 1t means
that there will be big demand on the
next congress for more bounties. as
this victory will encourage bounty seek
ers to ask for them.
To COMPTROLLER Bowler the decision
will bring much chagrin. His action
was certainly very unusual. AT, best
his position is but subordinate, and
when he took it upon himself to say
the law granting the bounty was I'M
constitutional and he would not carry
out its plain directions, he assumed a
very. great responsibility. While it is
true that all officers of the govern
ment, state or national. are responsible
for their official acts under laws they
enforce or execute, and if the law is
unconstitutional they must abide the
consequences, still the presumption is
that all laws passed by state legisla-
ture or congress are valid until de
ciared Otherwise by the duly consti-
tuted courts of the country. 1t is the
only safe theory on which to proceed.
An officer executes a law at his peril,
but the chances of his erring in execut-
ing it are infinitely less than in dis
coeying its provisions. Comptroller
Bowler erred in not paying the boun-
ties. 1t is very much to be regretted
that he did err.
There is satisfaction in the fact
that the opinion sustaining the law
was unanimous. 1t shuts out all chance
TO charge political bias in the decision

A PENSION vuro.


Pension vetoes are bound to play a
very prominent part in the ensuing
presidential campaign. 1t will no doubt
be charged by the Republicans that
Mr.. Cleveland has vetoed bills giving
pensions to the men who saved the
Union. and citation of any veto of a
case viii be held to be ample proof of
the charge.
About a week ago the president re-
turned a pension bill with a message
vetoing it. The message recited the
fact that the proposed beneficiary was
pensioned originally at S25 a month as
the widow of Alfred B. Soule, a major
in Maine regiment, who died in 1864
In 1869 Widow Soule married Henry T.
Mowatt, thus forfeiting her pension.
Mowatt died in 1869.
In his message vetoing the bin the
president says. in part:
Though =twenty-seven years have
passed since the beneficiary ceased 70
be the widow of the deceased sildier
and though she has been the widow of
Henry T. Mowatt for. eighteen years n
is proposed by the bill under cons,d-
Grafton again to place her name unon
the pension rolls as widow of Alfred

r. Soule, late major of the Twenty
third regiment, Maine volunteers
OF Course. the proDriety of the law
which terminates the pension of a SOL
diefs widow upon her remarriage will
not De questioned. 1 suppose no one
would suggest the renewal of such
pension during the life time of her Sec
ond husband. Her pensionable relation
20 the government as the widow of her
deceased soldier husband, under any
reasonable pension theory. absolutely
terminated with her remarriage.
If she is to be again pensioned be-
cause her second husband does not sur
Yiye her. the transaction has more the
complexion of ar adjustment of a gov
ernmental insurance on the life of the
second husband than the allowance of
pension on just and reasonable
grounds.
Legislation of this description is sure
to establish a precedent which ii will
be difficult to disclaim, and which, if
followed, cannot fail to lead to abuse.
There is good, sound sense and broad
patriotism in that message. If the
widow wanted her pension continued
she had 1T in her power to continue it;
all she had, to do was to remain the
widow of Major Soule. The govern
ment gave her the pension because in
the death of her husband it recognized
that she had lost her support. When
she took another husband the law pre-
sumed she was henceforth provided
with support and it need not furnish
one. Her appeal for a pension now
justifies what the president says, IF
she is again pensioned because her Sec
ond husband does not survive her. the
transaction has more the complexion of
an adjustment of governmental in
surance on the life of the second hus-
band than the allowance of a pension
on just and reasonable grounds
In pension cases, as we'll as in love
affairs. wellers advice holds good: Be
ware of widders"

THE FIGHT IN KENTUCKY.

The opinion obtains in many quar-
ters that the great fight between the
gold and silver forces in the Democrat
ic party will be practically decided in
Kentucky. In other words that as
Kentucky goes so will go the Chicago
convention. Some of the great silver
advocates are going down there or
have already gone to stump the state
for silver. such men as Senators Vest
and Daniel 1t is perfectly safe to as
sumo that Secretary Carlisle will again
go there in the interest of the admin
istration and the gold standard. 1t
will be battle of the giants.
There are signs that the administra-
ton Democrats in that state are weak
ening or at least that they are very
apprehensive Overtures for peace
have been made by the gold men, but
they have been rejected. They We're
made through Lieutenant Governor
Afford, who was in Washington few
days ago. He is a gold standard man
and in the legislature supported Black
burn. In Washington he saw Secretary
Carlisle and Senator Lindsay, and in
company with the latter he had a talk
with Mr. Cleveland. After these con-
ferences, according to the Washington
Post, he made a proposition to Senator
Blackburn, which was that the state
convention should endorse both Sena-
tor Blackburn and Secretary Carlisle,
and condemn the action of the Demo-
cratic boilers. This was proposition
for as complete a straddle as it is pos
sible to make it. 1t was rejected as it
should have been, and it is surprising
that it was ever made.
To a reporter Senator Blackburn de-
fined his position a short time ago. as
follows:
Il have resigned my position as a
visitor to the naval academy because
the exercises at that institution occur
between, the 1st and the 5th of June,
while my state convention is set for
the Sd. 1 shall leave in a few days for
Kentucky. not to go upon the stump,
but to take charge of the campaign.
1 believe that the cause of free silver
will win in the state, and 1 give notice
now that we shall declare for free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to l
if we have majority IN the conven-
tfon. If the other side has the major
fty, they can declare for anything they
please. 1 want it understood. however,
that 1 am willing to abide by the re-
suit, and 1 also want the other side to
do the same. I do not believe in bot
ing, either by the silver men or the
gold men,"
The fight in Kentucky will excite
great interest. May Blackburn and sill
yer win.

only found three men who were not pa
trolling as they should. Two were .oit-
ering while one was taking quiet
glass of beer. This latter enc was no
ticed standing at saloon door. The
commissioners were on the opposite
side of the street. Very soon the side
door was opened and two hands ap-
peared holding a great schooner Of
beer The thirsty patrolman grabbed
it with both hands. When he had about
finished it, Roosevelt stepped over and
tapped him on the shoulder, saying.
Give me that glass of beer" The po-
liceman stared at the commissioner,
and when at last he realized who it
was, he threw the glass; through the
open door. where it was caught. pre-
sumably by the same hands that had
passed it out. Then began a mad race.
The policeman dashed down the street,
the commissioner in hot pursuit When
they had gone some twenty-five yards,
the commissioner found he could only
catch him with difficulty, if at all, and
shouted: Stop, you fool, STOP The
policeman ran about twenty-five yards
further, and came to full stop. When
the commissioner caught up with him,
he took his number and ordered him
to report to the station house.
Mr.. Roosevelt simply made himself
ridiculous, and while he caught a po-
liceman he lowered his dignity to do
it. He lost far more respect for him
self and his position than he gained for
the law Then he lost prestige as a
Splinter.

A BOLT AT CHICAGO.


Ante convention talk sometimes
serves as straws to tell which way the
wind blows. There is much ante con-
vention talk about bolt at Chicago,
and present indications are that there
will be one.
The latest threat of boit we have
seen was made by Captain E. P. How
ell at meeting of free silver men in
Fulton county, Georgia. last Wednes-
day night. On that occasion he said:
'.On the 9Th of June we are going to
send an instructed delegation to the
state. convention, who will in turn Sc
lect delegation to go TO Chicago, and
if we cannot get what we want there
we will walk out and go off and form
a party of our own"
If he and his fellow Democrats want
a free silver plank in the national
Democratic platform we think they
will get it at Chicago. Everything goes
to show that the silver men will be
in control there, and that they will
have things their own way. 1t is very
desirable that the gold men in that
convention do not bolt, that every eff
fort be made to have them abide by
the decision of the convention, If
they threaten to bolt. But this should
not be at the price of any compromise
on the question of the free coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to l, or a strad-
die of any kind upon the money ques-
ton. Every sacrifice should be made
except principle; that must never be.
The talk about boiling. should be left
to the goldbug delegates; the silver
Democrats will have no occasion to.

Lord, hear my lips and not my heart.-
interrupted lips that purely plead
Allegiance to the better part;
o hear the word, and wait the deedl
As winds will shake some wretched
reed,
Perchance to spare, perchance to kill,
My wavering heart 'twixt word and will
Is shaken still.
Then let my loyal lips be heard
Above my hearts rebellious cry,
If anything in me hath erred,

Pass not my prayer and pledges by;
My patient lips shall steadfast sue,
That stubborn citadel subdue,
And make them true.
