IT was the insurgents that urged
the adjournment of the Legislature.
They claimed it as great exhibition
of political V rtue to urge an adjourn
ment of the Legislature. Now thev
want the Legislature convened, and
claim it as an exhibition of undying
love for the constitution of the State
to threaten Governor Stone with
Supreme Court mandamus, and i'm

they can think of, if he does not cali

THE Cuban army was to receive
three million dollars from the United
States for their service against the
Spaniards during the war. That

and persecute people The propos-

The late Legislative insurgents are |
talking about appealing 20 the SD
preme Court for a mandamus-an
order of court upon Governor
Stone to compel him to call an extra
session of the Legislature for the
purpose of electing a United States
Senator. It is not 80 long since the !
Legislature adjourned, that it has
been forgotten that it was the insur-
gents that were in a hurry to adjourn.
They were playing horse reformer.
and thought it would be a popular
act to talk adjournment. They walk
ed into their own trap. Now they
want the Supreme Cours to do it's
best to make Governor Stone call an
extra session of the Legislature.
Their position is the old, old story.

writer thus:

He digged it deep,
He.aigged it for his brother,
Bat by his sin,
He Gif fall in.
