Pooling In Wedding Presents.

"What shall we give herr" That is question which desolates innumera- ble breakfast tables when the morning post brings the announcement of an approaching marriage. A most valua- ble precedent has been set by a batch of Lady Randolph Churchilrs friends, who clubbed together and presented her with a beautiful gewgaw in the shape of pearl and diamond tiara. The example should be followed wide ly. Individual effort Is apt to fritter itself away in superfiuous salt spoons and unnecessary photograph frames. Given a bride, it Is pretty certain that many of her friends will be friends of one another. And how much more pleasant for the bride and how much simpler for her friends Is the pooling of affection in really valuable gift! The perennial difficulty of the wedding present Is In fair way toward solu- tion.-London Chronicle.

EXECUTIVE UsURPATION.

After all it is probable that the n,odtiS
viyendi agreement will fall OF Its own
weight. One of the pertinent questions
raised bv the demarkatIon of the boundary
between Alaska and British Columbia was
as to what courts should the American
miners, who were placed on the Canadian
side of the line. appeal in which to assert
their rights. The investigation instigated
to settle this point developes the fact that
Secretary Hay exceeded the authority vest
ed In the executive branch of the govern
ment in agreeing TO the modus vivendi.
The third section of the fourth article OF
the constitution of the United States pro-
vides:
1.-THE Congress shall have power to dis
pose of and make all needful rules and reg
ulations respecting the territory OF the
United States"
The United States supreme court has
construed this section of the constitution In
the following language: .4.
"The power Of Congress in the right to
dispose of our public domain can not be in
terfered with"
This Is plain. Mr.. HAY has attempted
to usurp the powers of the legislative
branch Of the government.
There is no doubt but that the executive
could enter into an agreement as to Gus
toms regulations, and may permit the
Canadians to put customs house on
American territory, but he has not author
ity to present to Great Britain any portion
of the Porcupine mining district. That is
American territory, and in Congress alone
Is vested the power to ALLEVIATE territory.
If the executive has not power to alien
ate territory, he has not authority to give
even temporary jurisdiction over it without
the consent of Congress. Such would be
the effect of the modus vivendi. There
was no attempt bv it to settle INV disputed
territory. The United States recognizes nc
cloud on her title to this thirty-mile strip
This government purchased 1t from Russia
and paid her gold for it, and England rec
ognized the American title until the dis
coverv of Yukon gold. The subsequent
claim was not in good faith and Secretar.
Hays agreement was naught but an hui
initiating surrender. - r.
It Is fortunate thing for the Porcupint
miners that there are two other branche:

DIR. ROSS is UNDER FIRE.
Charges Against superintendent OF
Yankton Insane Asylum.

Va
YanktOn Insane Asylum.
More than ordinary interest attaches to
a meeting of the state board of charities
and correction now in session at Yankton.
as 1t is expected chat the board will order
a public investigation of charges made at
frequent intervals for many months against
DIR. Ross. the superintendent of the state
asylum at Yankton.
Very serious charges have publicly been
made against the superintendednt, one of
them being that he had disposed of an old
boiler and other property belonging to the
state, and had pocketed the proceeds. An
other was that he had appropriated a
sum of money belonging to a patient in
the asylum. lie has also been accused of
drunkenness and general incompetence.
1t is related that certain members of the
state board of charities and corrections
have been quietly investigating the charges
against Ross, and found that the alleged
sale of the boiler and the pocketing of the
proceeds, and the appropriation of money
belonging to a patient, were baseless, DR..
Ross being able to produce authority for
the sale Of the boiler, as we'll as the con-
tract with the parties to whom it was sold,
and the receipts.
To set at rest il possible the stories of al
legged official misconduct and drunkenness
on the part of DIR. Ross, it is now intimated
that the board of charities and correction
will insist upon a public investigation of
the charges as the hest method of relieving
the board of a disagreeable situation. DIR.
Ross has strong friends, who are striving
to have him retained in his present posi-
ton, and quiet the public clamor against
him on the part of those who seek his re-
moval from office.
