THE ALABAMA FRAUDS

WASHINGTON, May l9.-The reso-
luton for the appointment of select
committee to State of Alabama and
to report whether republican form
of government exists IN that State
came up to-day in the senate. Mr..
Allen Pop. J, of Nebraska, making
motion that the senate proceed to It's
consideration There were only six
votes IN favor of the motion-two
from Populist senators-Allen and
Pefer, of Kansas, and four from
Republican senator's Chandler, Frye,
Gallinger and Morrill,.
The vote against it numbered Al.
Mr.. Allen saw in the result Of the
vote proof of the insincerity of the
Republican senators, bat Mr.. Sher.
man Rep, Of Ohio, justified him
self and his Republican colleagues
on the ground that the question was
one to come before the senate at tie
next session. not this one and that
as to the general election III Alabama
whether fraudulent or not-the
senate had no right to inquire into it,
unless it affected the election of a
senator.
Mr.. Chandler (Rep J, of New
Hampshire, who voted for the mo-
ton, said that, under other circum-
stances, when there was no apprc-
priation bill directly before the sen
ate, the reslution would receive the
support of large number, if not all
the senators in the Republican side.

GEORGIA SUNDAY REST
LAW.

WASHINGTON, May IS The validity
aud constitution ality of tie Sunday
rest Law of the State of Georgia were
sustained by the supreme court of the
Ucited States 10 day.
l.. F. Henuigtoo. superintendent Of
transportation of the ALBANIA Great
Southern Railroad. was indicted 10
Dade coun y, Ca, on Sunday, March
Is, 1891, in violation Of the State law
which forbids the rnnuing Of aoy freight
train 10 the State on the seventh day.
He pleaded not guilty, setting up 10
defense that the statute as applied to
the case was in conflict with the pro-
visions of the Federal Constitution,
giving congress power to regulate COM
merce among the States. He was con-
vic,ed aud this conviction was affirmed
by the supreme court of the Stase.
From that udgmeut the case came to
the supreme court Of the United
States.
I,. Justice Harlan delivered the
opinion OF the court. 1t reviewed at
length the history of the legislation,
the views Of authorities and decisions
pertinent thereto and the conclusion is
reached "that such law, although In
limited degree affecting interoiate CON-
nlerce, is DOT for that reason needless
intrusion upou the domala OF Federal
jurisdiction, nor strictly regulation Of
interstate commerce, but, considered 10
its own nature is au ordinary police
regulation designed to secure the well
be;og aud to pronio,e the general vel
fare Of the people within the State by
which it was estab blished, aud therefore
DOT lnvaied by force alone OF toe Con-
stitution of the United States.
Chief Justice Fuller announced that
himself and Justice White we're up-
able to concur in the decision of the
court. Interstate traffic. he said, was
national 10 its character, and
could be subjected ooly to relations
of a uniform character The statute
10 question, be said, amounted to .
regulation Of interstate com megce, the
enactment Of which By the terms of the
Con stitution was reserved to congress
alone. Tie claims that the statute vas
passed in she existence Of the police
power Of the State made no difference
in the view OF the dissenting justices,
the result was the same--;f it came 10
couaict with power to be exercised
aloue BY congress, it must gave way.

DOM PAuL's EFFECTIVE PRAYER.
This Story May Not Be True, but is Is Ear
From impossible.


Here is a little anecdotc told, not by
q malicious uitlaGdcr, but By q 3oer.
In the carly days, before the Gra&sva&l
was q republic, there was :, famine IL
the land, ard Z party w;,s organized 70
hunt the har1bccst. Fer days ilc party
secured tie ve1dt in vain; there Was 10
sign CT game. Of any description. THEN
one CT the Beers declared his intention
of retiring into the bash to pray fer sue
cor, rs did the pa1:iirchs CT old. FIe &C
ccrtii,.@ly left the party il company "'i.;;h
:. native and disappeared Tito tie bush.
Sorl> hoors afterw&rd the Bpe,' re-
turned aud informed the party Soieln11ly
that he had PRAYED, and n three days
time a very large t-oop Of hartbeest
woaI,. pass that va. The party &c
ID at tie camp, and, sure enough,
two days after the promised game ao-
peared IL nsight, ard the Dutcar.en. With
thankful heart, made a great l&,ul.
From til"t moment the nan CT pray
err became tire popular hero until he
was elected president OF the Sctiti! Attl-
can republic. That man vas Paul hru-
ger.
And now listen to the cdifying sequel
1t was some time aiterwald that the
native who accompanied Kruger into the
bush gave his version of the affair. The
native stated that when Kruger entered
the bush he did not pray. but struck out
for a neighboring ka1iir kraal. Calling
the headmen, the Bocr Informed them
that the white people We're starving and
could find no game. There was Il large
number Of armed Boers Oh the other side
! Of the bush, who had sent him to tel
them that unless they (thc Eativcs) dis
covered game in less than three days
they would all be shot. Knowing BocG
methods only too we'll, the frightened
natives set ont forthwith, discovered tie
game and drove it toward tie Boel
camp.-Londcn Figaro.

THE FIGHT ON BOURNE.

The Oregonian wages persistent
warfare on Jonathan Bourne TO have
that gentleman removed as secretary
of the Republican state central COM
mittee. Wherever a Republican can
be found who does not like Mr.. Bourne,
or a Republican CLUB that can get
quorum present to adopt resolution
asking his removal, 1t is done and
then printed with great flourish as
demand that Mr.. Bourne be removed.
Stereotyped forms of resolutions and
petitions are sent out from Portland
asking that Mr.. Bourne be removed,
and all who can be induced to sign are
helping In the cause. There is no
pretense that Mr.. Bourne did not
make a good secretary, or that he has
not stood with Republicans on Re-
publican platforms OF Oregon in the
past, and still stands there. His
offense is not that he helped defeat
Dolph and is now for Mitchell, but
that he has not endorsed the st. Louis
platform, and recanted his views in
favor OF the free coinage OF gold and
silver at a ratio Of l6 TO l lndepend-
ent OF other nations, and come out for
Mckinley and the gold standard.
An amusing feature Of the situation
is that, while the Oregonlan is de-
manding the head of Jonathan on a
charger to .appease the wrath of the
goldite Herodias, the same paper is
printing articles from j, b. Mont
gomery urging the election OF Nc
Kinley In the interest Of international
bimetallism. In a technical sense,
the demand for Mr.. Bourne's resigna-
tion is no doubt well founded, and he
should come out fiatfooted and re-
nounce the st. Louis gold standard
platform. Mr.. Bourne is an independ-
ent American bimetallist and will not
be guilty OF such contortions as Mr..
Montgomery is undergoing TO please
Harvey Scott. There Is no compro-
mise between the gold standard and
genuine bimetallism, and while Mr..
Bourne's critics call him a Populist,
what they really mean is that he is
what is called a silver man. The
truth Is there is not room for free
coinage man to stand on the 81. Louis
gold standard platform.
