b. him IN sup ort of bis position and
find nothing in the case TO sustain him
& he csse in no sense or view defines the
Executive power of the National gov
eminent, nor does the learned Chief
Justice discuss that question. The
point decided is the right Of state to
require It's county treasurer to pay into
the state the money collected for taxes
in gold or silver coin, the case in 7Wall
II.
The point urged by the Negro Edit
ors referred to as l get it Is, that the
President did not furnish protection to
life and property during his admins
tration. The writer does not claim that
in any and every case the President
has full power TO interfere, but he does
in the case OF Baker and that of the
postmaster in Georgia the President
had full power to have intervened and
by the use of federal officers protected
the postmasteFs referred to.
Grant found authority to use the
army of the Nation to protect property
at Chicago at the time Of the big fire.
Cleveland did the same thing during
the strike to protect the mails and in
both instances they were also to pre-
serve the peace. The q. s. Attorney
General had a q. 8. Marshall to protect
Justice Fields and this Marshal think
ing that Field was in danger OF being
assaulted killed Terry, the Supreme
Court Of the q. s. sustained the action
Of the Attorney General and held that
Neagle had committed no Ofense, for
which he could be tried. The State Of
California protested that her laws had
been violated, and jury of that state
alone could decide the question OF jus
tlfication, the court ruled against this
contention. Neagle was protecting an
officer of the U. 8. in the discharge of
his duty, aud had authority by the
laws of the U. s. to preserve tn peace.
Justice Miller speaking for the court
says:
$50 if the president is advised that
the mails Of the Q. 8. are liable to
be robbed, the mail carriers assaulted
and murdered, In any particular region
OF the country who can doubt the su
thOrity of the President. or of any one
OF the executive departments under
him, to make an order for the protec
ton Of the mail, and of the person and
the lives of the carriers, by doing ex
actIy what was done IN the case of Mr.
Justice Field, namely, providing suf
fcient guard, whether it be by soldier:
of the Army or by Marshal of the U. 8
with a posse comitatus properly armed
and equipped"
The court further held, "That there
is a peace of the q. s., the Marsha
OF the Z S. stands in the same relation
to the peace OF the Q. S. as the sheriff
of the county does to the peace of the
state Of California, that it would
have been the duty CT the sheriff to pre-
vent this breach Of the peace to prevent
this assault can not be doubted )

Canadian otter Coasts aud siidos Down
Hill just for Fun.

Hiii Just for Fun.
II seems strange to think that any
full grown, four-footed animal should
indulge in play like child, and yet
this is what the otter does. His
amusement is tobagganing. and his
playground is a slope, covered with ice
or snow, that goes down grade into
a pool of water. No little boy, with a
new sled, ever enjoyed coast down
an ice-bound hill mere than this beau
tiful creature from the frozen north.
The otter is quite large, sometimes
weighing as much as % pounds. He
resembles the seal and the mink, be-
ing, however of heavier build, and is
both supple and strong. Living for
fish, which his swimming and diving
ability enables him to catch easily.
The entrance to his home, which is a
burrow in the bank of a stream, is
under the water. In the early spring
when the ice begins to thaw, these
animals start on their travels from one
stream to another, sometimes spend
Ing months on the journey. If they
happen to see an inviting hill by the
wayside they Immediately stop their
pilgrimage and prepare for some sport.
One of the number leaves the water
and slowly climbs the slope, making
smooth hollow in the ice with his
wet body. When the slide is pre-
pared, he lies fat on his belly, thrusts
his nose forward, and turning his fore
paws under his soft sides, goes sail
ing swiftly down. His speed steadily
increase until he reaches the water.
Silently he parts the surface and is
lost from sight for a few seconds; then
his head appears above the surface
and you can hear him give call which
sounds like a whistle. This Is q sig
nal. The next otter assumes the posi-
tion and shoots down to the bottom to
Join his companion, who has mean
while crawled out on the ice. Then
another whistle and the next In order
slides and plunges, and the perform
ance is kept up until each one has
several trips to his credit.-Exchange.

A lively debate was participated in
the Senate over the proposition, as an
amendment to the sundry civil appro-
priation bill, TO continue the life OF the
industrial commission until October 81,
1901. Charges were made that the COM
mission is being used as Republican
campaign machine and that important
testimony had been suppressed. The
committee amendment, however, was
agreed to. the amount appropriated be-
ing increased from SI22, 900 to SI2o, 500.

The Senate committee on privileges
and elections had under consideration
Senator Pitchard's resolution declar-
ing exclusion from the privilege OF the

ton OF a substitute directing the com

clusion is antagonistic to the constitu-

A SON OF DICKENS.

Allison, Of Strathcona's Horse, express
himself in Montreal, when, with a

riences of mounted policemen prior to
the days of the rebellion. says the
Montreal Herald. Poor little Jeff'
referred to was Francis Jeffrey Dick

Northwest Mounted Police during the
tror5le Of 1885. Dickens was a son Of
Charles Dickens, the novelist. He died

where he Joined the mounted police OF
that province. Quitting the country he
returned to England, where he re-
mained a short time. and then started
for Canada. He at once Joined the
mounted police and saw service all over
the northwest. He was at Fort Pitt
during the rebellion of 1885, and upon
Its close he came east to Ottawa,
where he remained until his money
gave out, when he went to Moline. He
was advised to go there by his old
friend Allison, with whom he kept up
a correspondence. His home at Mo-
line was the house OF Mrs. o. Marshall,
sister of Allison. Francis jeffrey

Farmers Friend.

In speaking of the good qualities
OF the owl, Professor Nash says that
most of the owls seen in the daytime
appear to be stupid, clumsy and inert
creatures, as they sit winking and
blinking in the unaccustomed light,
striving as much as possible to shade
their wonderful eyes from the too
powerful rays; but see these birds at
dusk and after-what transforma-
ton takes place. They are then as
alert as any hawk; their soft plumage
enables them to skim noiselessly
around our farm buildings and over
the fields in search of their food.
Unlucky then is the mouse or rat that
ventured to show itself or even utter
o squeak from its hiding place in the
grass (for an OWLS ears are as Won
derfully constructed as its eyes, and
their hearing is as acute as their
sight). The fate of that mouse will
be sealed and it will vex the farmer
no moro.

Feed For Eggs,

4 The cost OF keeping O hen will be
limos. as much when she does not
Iay as when she is producing eggs,
because the food may be devoted to
the storage of fat on the body or to
provide animal heat in winter. 1t is
also possible to feed the hen on foods
which will not provide the constituents
Of eggs. The failure to procure eggs
may be because one essential sub
stance is lacking. An egg contains
everything that enters into the body
of chick, which contains bone, and
il the food does not contain sufficient
lime to form the bone, the egg cannot
be complete.
To induce hens to lay, therefore,
the food must be OF the proper kind.
Quantity Of food will have no effect II
the food IL unsuitable. There being
. certain cost for keeping hen, it is
evident that the more eggs the larger
profit will be, because the first cost
always must be met--that OF sustain
ing the hen. A dollar expended for
proper food is better than fifty cents
for food that is not really needed. as
the larger sum will at least result in
the hens being more productive, while
