premises that he was recg .sred to do.
In this last statement W. err. The
commission to allot the lands in sew
atty was appointed so soon as pos
sible after the passage of the law, the
members of it, by strange coinci-
dence, beirg aged and broken-d3wn
politicians, chiefly from the secretary's
own state.
BY what right does the secretary OF
the interior presume to nullify an act
of congress? 1t is claimed in his de-
tense that he IS DESTROYS of protecting
the interests of the government. If
such is his desire he will best and
soonest accomplish his purpose by en-
forcing the laws. The United States
are governed by laws, and in their
observance by all. whether citizens in
official life or citizens in private life,
lies the safety and happiness of the
people. This fact has been ignored by
Hoke Smith. Can the interests of the
government be worse served than by
cabinet officer refusing to carry out a
law enacted by congress? He does
not even pretend that the law is I'M
constitutional, stripping himself of that
poor defense. 1t is said he is protect
ing the government s interest Then
why did he not long ago address
communication to congress telling
wherein those interests were threat
ened by the law authorizing the open
ing of the reservations, and urging its
repeal? A really patriotic secretary of
the interior, honestly solicitous for his
country's good, would have done this.
But this secretary of the interior does
no such thing. He defies the consti-
tuition and the laws made in pursuance
thereof, treats with contempt the
American people, sand placing a paste
board crown upon his swelled head,
proclaims to the nation, 1.-The State;
it is l." Great as he is, monumental
as his fame in future ages will be, he
may yet be called to account for his
usurpations and assumptions of power.
Then this man who is so far more
righteous than the laws of his country
are, knew all about the bill for the
opening of the reservations before it
became law, for it was submitted to
him by a committee of the house be-
fore being reported ITO the house. This
fact leaves him wholly without a pre-
text for his actions. Is it quite certain
that his great solicitude about these
reservations is wholly and solely be-
cause of his desire to protect the gov
eminent interests? Are the reserva-
tons and all their deposits of whatso-
ever nature SO valuable to the govern
ment as obedience on the part of cab
met officers ito its laws is? We think
not
1t is to be hoped that Senator Can
non will not let Mr.. Hoke Smith have
any peace over this matter. He is re-
fusing to open the Uintah and Uncom-
pahgre reservations in defiance of the
law and it is time the people knew
why he is doing it.

Baltimore Sun, lis the further requi-
site that they shall be so simple and
clearly framed and worded that there
shall be no difficulty in the way of
their being understood by those whose
duty it is to obey them, or by the
courts and officers whose business it
is to enforce them We commend the
suggestion to the consideration of our
own state legislature in whose work
at least in parts of it, we are of the
opinion that simplicity of structure and
language have not always been ap-
preciated. Legislation, like machinery,
is all the better the more simple it is

4 FoRGETFUI GoYEHYon,

It has become evident that when Governor Woodbury of Vermont brought suit against the Rutland Her aid for libel in saying that as proprie- tor of the Van Ness House at Burling- ton he violated the liquor law which he himself signed as governor he had forgotten some things, or thought other people had. When he went on the stand in his own behalf he made a general denial of the charge that he had authorized or permitted the sale of liquors in his hotel, but was obliged to admit that he himself had attended din- ners there at which wine was served He declared, however, that the wine was not provided by the house, and that he protested against it's use, but remained at the table. He admitted that he might have prevented the serv- ing of wine in his hotel, and might have declined to countenance with his pres ence a proceeding which he considered wrong and against which the law is clear. He admitted signing the law which provides that every building in which intoxicating liquor is unlawful ly sold, furnished or given away" shall be considered a common nuisance and that its keeper shall be fined or i'm prisoned or both, but said that he had forgotten all about it at the time in question. Then Governor Woodbury was asked if he thought it right to go there and lend the force of his ex- ample to wrong thing. Notice his answer: q think you want a little good to leaven the evil"
 Vermont liquor laws are stricter than many people think they ought to be, but it is evident that the governor who signed some Of them has not been as strict as he might wisely have been.

UNCONSYI rnrIONAL.

The California harber-shop law pro- vldlng for the closing of such shops at noon on Sundays and holidays has been declared unconstitutional by the State Supreme court and the reasoning of the court Is interesting, Whether or not a general law to promote rest from labor in all business vacations may be upheld as within the due exercise of the police power, the court says, the law under consideration can certainly not be so held. A law Is not always gen. eral because it operates upon all within @ class, the court continues. There must be back of that @ substantial reason why it is made to operate only on class. No reason can be shown why the followers of one employment, and of no othei. should be debarred from the right to labor at certain times. mans constitutional liberty, the court says, means more than his per sonal freedom. It means, with many other rights. his right to labor and to own the fruits of his toll. The court expresses it's surprise that the legisla- tive eye should single out the barbers, and should overlook the railroad em- ployees, the factory hands, and others who have to work on Sundays. A law singling out one class, it says, and putting it under criminal ban, is not only special, unjust, and unreason- able in it's operation, but marks an invasion of individual liberty, the lib- erty of free labor, which it pretends to protect"

while figured silk gives the figured jacket, the ground of the goods match ing the faille. The bodice is short in back and at the sides, is cut away just above the bust and opens in front to show a vest of the silk finished on eith- CT side with lace frills. The edges of the fronts are embroidered with black silk and are trimmed with black velvet bows fastened with paste buttons. Like bows ornament the sleeve. Collar and belt are of black velvet, and long lace tabs fall on the skirt
 A really clever dodge is the stosk band of ribbon that has tiny frill of lace top and bottom and that is worn about the neck with a low cut gown. That little frill softens the modelling of the chest into the throat. and soothes the unhandsome collar bones till the girl who is literally scrawny without the collar seems actually plump with it.

Not exactly an artist--not by any means a nechanic-it is hard for me to say exactly what head I come under. I remember there was trouble the last time they took the census. for my wife would not hear of my being described as a property man." through being afraid those stupid government officers might think me man of property and go charging me house duty and in come tax, and all sorts of things. A hollow kind of fife, do you call it? Well. that's a matter of opinion Not if it's done conscientiousiy, say. That poet I have heard of must have had me in his eye when he wrote Things are not what they seem" It is my mis- sion to make the unreal appear to be real, and whatever you may think about the usefulness of that pursuit as a help to happiness i'll a respectfully conducted state, the property man is generally more successful in his aim than the actor who looks down upon him.

NoN-p4RrIsAN SEEDS.

Congressman Hill of the Fourth dis trict of this State has made an inter- esting discovery. This is that there are mo politics in seeds" He has made this discovery in the course of his study of the seeds allowed him by a generous government for distribution among his admiring and appreciative constituents. He writes to one of those constituents: T will send you both garden and flower seeds. I am sending flower seeds ex- clusively to the ladies, but will make an extra exception in your case, as you have no lady. There are no politics in seeds. The rose smells just as sweet to Democratic as to Republican noses, and the peas and onions furnish nutriment to all alike. If I could only distribute spring bonnets to the ladies, overcoats to the men and bicycles to the children, how happy should be- Congressman Hill evidently knows how to scatter seeds of kindness while scattering
 
 seeds that have no politics in them That he has also skill in scattering the non-political seeds is indicated by the fact that he has sent fifty packages to each State senator and sheriff, thirty to each grange and from thirty to fifty to each town committeeman where there is no grange, reserving enough to answer individual calls This is a good scheme of distribution and somewhat in accordance with the non-political character of the seeds.
 What will the harvest be? It is to be hoped that all the seeds distributed by Congressman Hill in his wise and kind ly fashion will act as they ought to and be as strictly non-partisan as he has said they are. It is also to be hoped that they will act according to the la bels on the packages. It would be a pity if any Democrats should be con- firmed in their Democracy by the an- tics of non-partisan seeds distributed by a Republican congressman.
