failure to elect president for want of constitutional majority, case provided for by conferring a power upon the house of representatives voting by state, is the case of fault CT negligence on the part of the people?"
 The minority then gives considerable at tent3on to the various cases and concludes as follows:
 ''rhe case of Allen, of Washington, was decided with the Lee Mantle cases without argument, a decision to which Mr. Beck with, of Wyoming, submitted without fur ther cer.est At that time there was an earnest division in fhe senate on im- portant matter relating to the currency which created for the time being more in- terestng features of opinion than there ex- isted between the two great political par ties on other questions. It was time not favorable to dispassionate. non-partisan judgment. We prefer the authority of the New Hampshire cases. which was acted on also in the case of Mr Pasco, of Florida and we think that a decision which must inevitably denrive states in the union for long periods of time of thei- righful repre- sentation under the constitution will not be permitted long to stand, and that no settlement of the question in derogation of the rights of the states, and as we conceive in violation of the intent of the framers of the constitution should be acquiesced in'

One of the principal missions of a news paper is to impart to its readers informa- ton calculated to benefit and interest them Few people realize the importance of hav- ing thorough graduated optician examine their eyes and fit their glasses Many peo- pie are led into serious consequences by buying glasses that apparently suit their eyes, when in reality they are the cause of much suffering and defective sight later in life. when, if they had been properly suited at the beginning, their eyes would have been in good condition fin old age.

The State Is In Fault

On another point the minority says:
 Tt is said that if the legislature has been Ill session after a vacancy and has failed to fill the state is in fault: that tbe leeis- Lure has neglected its duty and so it is not just that the state should suffer. There are two answers as to this argument. First, that 1t is not for the interest of the whole people that every state should be fully represented; and second, that there is no fault to be imputed to the legislature of a state or to the people, where a majority vote is required, if there be failure ito elect Will anybody claim that the case of @

to provide for case where state, by it's own deliberate act, should deprive it's legis- lature of the power to ill an entire term at its beginning. In our opinion they never intended to give the executive of a state the power to fill an entire term by original appointment unless possibly, ip case where the legislature had chosen and the person elected had refused to accept or died before qualification. Tn other words. we conclude that the power of appointment was not to be exercised unless the vacancy occurred in the recess of the legislature and was oc- casioned by some casualty like death or resignatfon.''

JUST CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT,

With the number of trains coming
in and going out of the union depot in
this city, it is surely neglect of
duty of the railway officials that they
do not have depot master to call
trains and direct passengers where to
go to reach their destination.
A large number of people were at the
depot Friday noon waiting to get out
of the city. Some were women in at
tendance upon the .W. G. T q. con-
vention and others were teachers de-
string to depart for the west to take
up their school work on Monday.
There were no less than twenty five
passengers left at the depot who want
ed to go out on the Northwestern train
and indignation ran high when they
found that the train they should have
taken had pulled out. These people
will have to remain here or stay at
Tracy until tomorrow afternoon.
There is no excuse for such neglect
on the part of the railroad company
and steps should be Immediately taken
to provide against like occurrence.
