and NJ. LAaARDE has recently said that
MENELKKs relations with King HUMBERT
we're cordial. Neither is there any reason
to believe that England and Abysslnia are
not on good terms. The reported cooperation
between MENELEK and the Khalifa, after
the fall OF Omdurman. has been denied by
every one competent to speak on the mat
ter. Tho Negus," says Capt. HARRINa-
TON, has maintained perfectly correct
attitude during our Soudanese campaigns"
Lord KrTcHENER's own reports have con-

"LAwToS was a brave soldier, and noble
man, but he didn't die for his country He
died for MCKINLEY. HANNA h Co, for the
stupid blunder which they entered into In
the greed OF imperialism and which has
become crime" The editor OF the Home
stead Ia. we believe. Mr.. HERBERT MYRIcK,
one OF the busiest Agulnaldo agitators in
Massachusetts,. Mr.. HERBEEr MYRIcK will
not admit that any soldier dies for his
country who dies In a war which In not ap-
proved by Mr.. HERBERT MYRICK. This
persons country is the Anti-Imperalist
League.
Mr.. MYRIcK AYERS that Gen. LAYTON died
for crime. Speaking Of crime, has Mr..
MYRrCK seen the letter OF Gen. LAwToS to
the Hon. JOHN BARRETT that was read at
the dinner OF the New England Society?
And In particular this passage:

that he is not an officer under the United
States within the meaning Of the Edmunds
law. The very language Of the Constitution
itself shows this, for the sixth section
Of Article !. expressly provides that
no person holding any office under
the United States shall be member
OF either house Of Congress during his
continuance in Office. Il does not say
mo person holding any other office
under the United States" "a would be the
case II the place OF a Congressman were
deemed to be such an offlce; but the pro-
hibitlon is stated In terms which under the
plainest principles OF Interpretation leave
no doubt that the trainers Of the Constitu-
ton excluded Senators and Representa-
tives from the category Of persons holding
office under the United States.
Il would be preposterous to give any
broader meaning to the declaration OF
ineligibllity found in the Edmunds law.
II the prosecutors OF Mr.. ROBERTS have
any case against him which affords good
ground for his expulsion from the House Of
Representatives, let them bring IL forward
after his admission and turn him out. The
case for excluding him, which they have
thus far presented, Is fatally defective; and
IL is no exaggeration to say that it's success
would be menace to American liberty.

A Fatal Flaw in tho Case Aeains,
Roberts.

Those who are attempting to exclude
BRIGHAM II. ROBERTS from the seat in the
House Of Representatives to which he was
elected by the people OF the State OF Utah,
rely upon the Act Of Congress commonly
known as the Edmunds law IA the justlil-
cation and warrant for their course.
Tho eighth section OF that statute pro-
vides that no polygamist bigamist or any
person cohabiting with more than one
woman In any Territory or other place over
which the United States have exclusive
Jurisdiction shall be eligible for election
or appointment or be entitled TO hold any
ohice or place OF public trust, honor or
emolument In, under or for any such Terri
toryor place, or under the United States"
Assuming that Congress can by legisla-
tlon add to tho qualifications which the
constitution requires a member OF the
House OF Representatives to possess, the
argument against Mr.. ROBERTS Ia that hs
pleaded guilty OF the offence OF unlawful
cohabitation under the Edmunds law. in
1880, for which he suffered an impriscn
ment OF four months; that the subsequent
amnesty proclamations of President HAIR
RIsoN and President CLEVELAND did not
operate to effect his pardon; and that con-
sequent!y he Is disqualified from sitting
as Representative in Congress by that
clause OF the Edmunds law which prohlb-
lts bigamist, polygamist, or person cohab-
iting with more than one woman from hold
Ing any Office under the United States
The validity OF this conclusion depends
upon the question whether the office OF a
Representative in Congress ia an Office
under the United States.
The weight OF legal authority ls strongly
In favor Of the proposition that it liz not.
Senator in Congress is not an officer OF
tn" United States. The Senate 30 decided

Blount case.

The Flour Seizure, at Deiagoa Bay.

Before pronouncing positive opinion on
events which may give rise to international
controversy, IL is n matter OF the first i'm
portance to know precisely what those
events are.
The announcement from Delagoa Bay
that the British Government has seized
American cargocs Of -four on their way to
the Transvnal Is not enough in itself to
Justify a condemnation OF the act II calls,
however, for prompt and searching
inquiry. II, upon Investigation. IL turns out
that the -four was intended to feed the
Transvaal army, the seizure will provo to be
tn, assertion OF IA claim which the British
Government has made before. to tho effect

Whether this claim be sound or not as a
proposition OF international law, 1t certainly
is not so unreasonable or repugnant to the
moral sense as to demand its rejection
without a careful study OF the precedents
and reasons upon which 1t Is based
II, on the other hand, the British claim

which would probably have to be answered
adversely to Great Britain.
In any view, however, the matter ia one
