Ome forward with a governors APP
pointment. Governor Gage of Califor-
MIA has announced his intention to ap-
point D. NJ. Burns, who was one OF the
republican candidates before the legi5-
lature, and it has been suggested that
the governor of Delaware should ap-
point Willard Salisbury. The ques-
ton of whether the applicants shall be
seated will probably be decided only
after another long discussion by the
constitutional lawyers of the senate of
the question whether the governor Of
a state has power to appoint United
States senator to fill a vacancy when
the state legislature has failed to ex-
ercise its power under the constitution
to elect a senator
There have been many decisions of
this question in the senate, beginning
as early as 1894, when Kensey Johns
Of Delaware was denied a seat on the
ground that a session of the legislature
had interviewed between the occurrence
of the vacancy and his appointment by
the governor. From that day down to
the present the decisions have all been
one way-against the seating of men
appointed when the legislature has had
an opportunity to act and has failed to
elect.
Many able constitutional lawyers
have commended, however, that the first
decision was wrong. and that all those
based upon it have been wrong, and,
on the principle that nothing is ever
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1899-06-08

States will be seated, but should ap-
pliCants appear from all four States
there would be an opportunity for log
rolling and wire pulling, which, taken
in connection with the fact that many
Senators believe the previous action
of the Senate to have been unconstitu-
tional, might result in their being
seated.
Prospects are that if the State re-
who may be appointed from other
States, all four vacancies will remain
until new Legislatures are elected in
the respective States. In Pennsyl-
vania, Delaware and California the re-
publican majorities are divided into
factions which could not be prevailed
upon to unite upon any one candidate,
and in Utah the democratic majority
was divided in the same way.
There is little probability that il
extra sessions of the Legislatures
should be called any different results
would be obtained than in the sessions
which have adjourned without action.
When the next Legislatures are elected
Pennsylvania and California can be
counted upon as reasonably certain to
elect republican Senators. Utah will
probably elect a democrat or a silver
fusion man Of some kind, and Del
aware can be fairly counted as fight
ing ground in which the republicans
and the democrats have about equal
chances.

appointed Henry w. Corbett to fill the
vacancy. In the FiftyThird congress
the Mantle case was made the test and
was debated at great length.
The Committee on Privileges and
Elections, composed of some Of the
ablest lawyers in the Senate, by ma
jority of one reported in favor of seat
ing the applicants. The majority re-
port, written by Senator Hoar of Mas
sachusetts, was strong argument in
favor Of the contention that it was
the purpose Of the trainers of the Con-
stitution to confer upon the Govern
ors Of States power to fill vacancies
resulting from the failure of the Leg
islature to elect, as well as those oc-
curing when the Legislature was not
in session.
Able arguments were made on the
other side, and when the vote was
finally taken thirty-two Senators were
recorded in support of the resolution
that Mr.. Mantle was not entitled to
his seat, while tWenty-eight voted
against it.
The Corbett case was somewhat Diff
ferent from the cases presented to the
Fifty-third Congress in that the Oregon
Legislature had failed to meet in Joint
session and had not balloted for SEN
ator. 1t was contended that there had
been no session Of the Legislature.
The principle was really the same.

Gated it's power to elect a Senator. The

Melting Rats Into Gold.

1t is said to be a common practice
for the boys in watch and jewelry
factories to kill the rats which infest
the building and burn the bodies to
obtain the gold. Many oiled rags are
used in furnishing watch cases, and in
time they become impregnated with
gold. The rats eagerly devour these
rags, and few months of this kind of
diet fills the interior mechanism of the
rat with a gold plating.
Twice year the boys have a grand
cremation. The rats are caught by
the hundred and burned in a crucible.
The intense heat drives off all ami
NAL substances and leaves the gold in
the shape Of little lump. The amount
of the precious metal obtained in this
way is not large, but it gives the in
genious youngsters plenty of pocket
money. In some factories young Ma
poleons Of finance buy up in advance
the shares of their fellow workers in
the rat colony.

Cheerfulness, says the Northwestern
Christian Advocate, can become a hab-
