Mr.. PLATTs ARGUMENT.

MN. fLAl Ahd MENl.
In an extended reply to Mr.. Chandler,
Mr. Platt tConn) maintained on purely
constitutional grounds that Mr. Quay
was not entitled to a seat in the SEN
ate.
1T seems to me-" he said. that a
question lies In the forefront of this
discussion--one which has not been
sufficiently dwelt upon by those who
Hhink Mr. Quay is not entitled to seat
here and one upon which there has
been notable silence by those who think
he ds entitled to a seat. That question
is whether anything can ever be con-
eidered as settled in the senate of the
United StaItes?s Is the senate TO OBJ
serve the almost unbroken line OF pre-
cedents, or is IL to be governed by po-
iitical and personal friendship?
Il am sorry that amy senator should
make a charge against 16 senator's that
they voted against a senator because
OF personal reasons and not on consti-
tutionaI grounds. That charge is one
which reflects greater dishonor upon
the senate than any that ever has been
made"
II ~~', the senator" interrupted Mr..
Chaudler. why he is so sorry. Ought
these statements to be made in secret.
yet not on this fioor?''
The Senator from New Hampshire" !"
responded Mr.. Plat. ''in making this
charge makes one which, IL true dis
graces 16 senators who voted against
Mr.. Corbett and brings dishonor on
this senate. / do not believe 1t. No
enemy OF the senate, no newspaper
which likes TO cast aspersions, no out
slider who is constantly seeking oppor-
funity to malign men, could say. II
seems to me. that the votes OF 16
senator's were cast against Mr.. Cor
bett because he was n supporter of
the gold standard. Such charge will
only AFFORD opportunity for criticism
Of the senate which will be unjust and
unwarranted."
SIMILAR CASES.
Mr.. Piatt maintained there was prac-
fically no difference between the QUAY
case and the Corbett case, and the de-
cision In the Corbett case ought to be
regarded az sacred, as was the judg-
ment OF the constitutional court
Mr.. Hoar. interruptlng. said that
when senator's believed decision in n
case had been reached in violation o,
constitutional right. and that the sen
ate had been influenced by personal and
political considerations as he believed
was true Of the Corbett case, Il was
their bounden duty 10 reverse that de-
clsion.
IT wonder" said Mr. Platt. "Tf the
senator thinks the senate r. more vrfu-
Gus now than ~ was when IL decided
the Corbeft cane7 Does the senator
think the senate will act with him now
from high constitutional motives when
ne says II did not act with him then

JUST so.

The Court of Appeals, on Wednes-
day, through Judge Paynter,
handed down a decision denying
the right of the Republican Minor
State Officers to dismiss their APP
peal from Judge Cantrill's decision
awarding those offices to the Demo-
Gratis, and affirming Cantrill's
decision.
The opinion did not go into the
merits of the case, but simply de
cided that the award of the State
Board of Election Commissioners
was final.
Judges Guffy, Burnam and Du-
Relic dissented. The action of the
majority of the court was discount
ed long ago.

SAD DEATH.

James Willard, the five year old
son of NJ. r.. Hainline and wife,
died suddenly Tuesday morning,
of commissions, after an illness of
only few hours. He was bright,
manly little fellow and his death
was great shock to his parents,
who have the sympathy of all in
their great sorrow. Funeral SER
vices were conducted at the resi-
dence yesterday afternoon at 2:3O,
conducted by Rev. G.. A. Joplin,
and interment in Machpelah.-Mt.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMA.
TION.

The following proclamation was
issued on Monday by the Presi'
dent
1t has pleased Almighty God to
bring our nation i'm safety and
honor through another year. The
works of religion and charity have
everywhere been manifest. Our
country, through all it's extent, has
been blessed with abundant har-
vests. Labor and the great indus
tries of the people have prOspered
beyond all precedent. Our COM
merce has spread over the world.
Our power and influence i'm the
cause of freedom and enlighten-
ment have extended over distant
seas and lands. The lives of our
official representatives and many of
our people i'm China have been
marvelously preserved. We have
been generally exempt from pesti-
lence and other great calamities
and even the tragic visitation which
overwhelmed the city of Galveston
made evident the sentiments of
sympathy and Christian charity by
virtue of which we are one united
people.
Now, therefore, I, William Nc
Kinley, President of the United
States. do hereby appoint, and set
apart Thursday, the 29th of Novem-
Der next, to be observed by all the
people of the United States, at
home or abroad, as day of thanks
giving and praise to Him who
holds the nations in the hollow of
his hand. l recommend that they
gather i'm their several places of
worship and devoutly give Him
thanks for the prosperity where
with He has endowed us, for seed
time and harvest, for the valOr,
devotion and humanity of our
armies and navies and for all His
benefits to us as individuals and as
a nation, and that they humhly
pray for the continuance of His
Divine favor, for concord and amity
with other nations and for right
eOusness and peace in all our ways.
In witness whereof ] have here

LAW GOVERNING THIS ELEC.
TION.

The following is the State law
(known as House Bill No. l9) which
applies to the election to be held on
Tuesday next. Let everybody take
due notice and govern themselves
accordingly.
"Sec. 10. Any person or persons
who shall unlawfully attempt to
prevent, or prevent, any voter from
casting his ballot, or shall attempt
to, or intimidate, any person or
other so as to prevent him from cast
ing his ballot, or who shall unlaw-
fully interfere with the officers of
election i'm the discharge of their
duties as such, shall be deemed
guilty of felony, and, upon con-
viction, be confined in the peniten-
tiary for a period of years, of not
less than one nor more than five
years, for each offense. The fact
that the person or persons so
offending may be an officer or
officers of the Federal government,
or of the State, or any district,
county, town or city thereof, or of
election, shall not relieve them of
the responsibility or penalty of the
violation of this section.
This law also comes under the
jurisdiction of the Federal courts
as decided by the Supreme Court
in the Mccoy case from Indiana.

rany Gaes the sum is likely 10 be cX-
pended in transporting men and material
To- a distant ship and dOckyard. Thus in
the cfse Of the Wisconsin the workmen
aE1 lhe material must be carried from
Mare Island TO Puget Sound. as was done
when the Oregon received her bilge keels
and when, too. a naval constructor was
sent TO the coast from Washington
The largest ships Of the navy on the Pa
eihc Coast VIII never be able n reach the
Mare Island yard until the approach Is
dredgcd. The Oregon, Iowa, and the Wis
CCnsin must proceed TO the Puget Sound
station or lay up at the private works
where the Oregon and Wisconsin were
built
The naval officers complain greatly in
regard 10 the lack of equipment at the big
yards and dock plants. At most Of the
new places very inadequate facilities exist
for doing work on ships OF war At Port
Royal il is necessary to take men and ma
terial from Norfolk, at much loss Of time
and great cost The dock at Algiers will
probably be quite as poorly fitted out. The
location Of the latter plant is also the sub
Ject OF much criticism among the naval
officers
