THE FIREWORKS.
WHO WROTE IT?
S ious Charges Against the Federal
Supreme Court.

These are words of weighty import
They involve consequences of the most
momentous character | take leave to
say that if the principles thus an
nounced should ever receive the sane
tion of majority of this court, rad
ical and mischievous change in our
sy stem of government will be the re-
suit. We will, in that event, pass
from the era of constitutional liberty,
guarded and protected by a written
constitution, into an era of Legislative
absolutism,
Here is a serious charge brought
against the majority of the Supreme
Court of the United States. The court
is accused Of bringing about change
in our system of government hot
only change but radical and mis-
chievous' change. 1t is charged that
in the event of that decision-an the
decision was made constitutional
liberty would be lost and AN era of
legislative absolutism ushered in.
What graver indictment could be
brought against our highest judicial
tribunal? Who wrote it? Who is
guilty of thus rejecting upon the pa
triotism and purpose of the court? Let
the republican papers ferret out the
culprit and visit condign punishment
upon him. Let him feel the righteous
wrath of those pure and immaculate
souls who always bow to a court de-
cision when it is on their side, and
never utter a reflection against a Judge
unless he decides against them)
Who wrote the words above quoted?
Did they emanate from demagogue !;
was this the wall of defeate p candi
date was it the speech of some dis
turber of the peace-some stirrer up
of discomfort?
No, the words will be found in a
dissenting opinion of justice of the
supreme court of the United States of
America. A democratic justice2 No.
A populist justice? No A silver
republican Justice? No.
What, then? They are the words of
republican justice of the supreme
court-Justice Harlan-appointed by
republican president.
Hereafter, when republican papers de-
sire to condemn those who criticise a
supreme court decision, let them begin
at the top and assail Justice Harlan
first After they have administered tC
him the rebuke which he, from their
standpoint. deserves, they will he toe
much exhausted to attack those who
quote Justice Harlan against the court.

"UNlMPEACHABLE AUTHORITY"
The New York World Prefers Charges
Against the Supreme Court of
the United States.
From the Commoner.l !

The New York Herald is occupying
a conspicuous place these days in the
copperhead column. Commenting up
on the Supreme Court decision III the
Porto Rican case, the Herald makes
this reasonable utterance:
Can such an amazing exhibit of ju-
dicial conflict and absurdity either
command respect for the highest court
of the nation OF prove acceptable TO
the country2 Opposed to principle
and precedent undermined with the
dissent of its own trainers, based ON
bare majority of one, protested against
by all the rest of the court as over
throwing the basis of our constitutional
law, can it be said to settle even the
one special point it decides, to say
nothing of the momentous issues it
throws into dispute2 In short, can 1t
endure permanently and Withstand
tie attacks that time and is own weak
ness are sure to bring? We think not.
1--WE believe that it is only ques-
tion Of ? short time when it must give
way 10 the cornerstone principle of
our government, maintained by the
four minority members of the court,

wherever the flag floats and American
sovereignty extends the constitution
is the supreme law to which president,
congress and the people insult bow. .
The New York World is authority
for this statement The World is
also in position to announce on un-
impeachable authority that two days
/ before the Porto Ricans cases were de-
cided the court had unanimously
agreed that the Constitution was in
force wherever the United States
exercised sovereignty. But immediate
ly before the Court met to make its
decision public, Justice Brown changed
his attitude on the question.
If we accept this as a correct state
ment it would seem strange that JUS
tice Brown could on so short notice
make so material a change. Justice
Brown opinion was most radical
one. 1t is to be hoped however, that
the World 'unimpeachable author
ity'i may be successfully impeached.

opinion, bad as it is, is not so bad as
would be condition wherein Justices

judge changing his mind between ses-
sions, and that instance did considera-
bic damage to the Supreme Court.

With McKinley's Consent, Says a
Manila Merchant

London, Jnly 5.-The Daily Express
tomorrow will print an interview
with Edward MacEvoy, a merchant at
Manila. who has just arrived here and
is staying at the Hotel Carlton. Mr..
MacEvoy declares Aguinaldo sold out
to Gen. Macarthur, and says it is
understood in Manila that the deal was
made with the consent of President
Mckinley.
He says that Aguinaldo received a
million dollars for his participation in
the farce, and that be intends later to
invest this in United States property.
"Funston's capture of Aguinaldo, "
Mr.. MacEvoy will say in the inter
view. lis the veriest rot The Ameri-
cans could never defeat the FilipinOs.
and they had begun to realize il. They
therefore adopted the old expedient of
bribery, well knowing they wolld find
Aguinaldo receptive. He has been a

Great Falls, Mont, July 3.-Train No.
westbound, on the Great Northern,
was held up at 2 o'cloch this afternoon
at Wagner Station, 1876 miles east of
this place, by three masked men, who
blew open the express car with dynamite
and secured the entire contents of the
through express cal, securing S83, 900.
One of the robbers boarded the train
few miles from the scene of the
hold up. When the train reached the
place where his confederates were lying
in wait, in rayine alongside the track,
he pulled the bell CO.. ID and as the train
slowed down, jumped upon the engine
and presenting a rifle, forced the engi-
neer and fireman to abandon their en-
gine.
AS the passengers began to look out
of the windows, a fusillade of shots
went alongside of the coaches and was
continued for several minutes. Dyna
mite was quickly exploded in the ex-
press car, tearing the car to pieces. The
obbers then mounted good horses and
rode away to the Bad Lands. A possee
is in pursuit, but capture is improbable.

Walter Voorhees,, chemist of Bush
anan, has discovered process of max
ing large and beautiful pearls from the
most common clam shells He has
been experimenting with the clans for
years, and the wonderful discovery,
which promises to make him immense
ly wealthy, is the result.
Mr. Voorhees, was in this city recent
ly and exhibited some of the pearls he
has developed in CLANS found in the
bed of the St Joseph river. They are
as perfect as any ever seen here, and
would probably bring a high price.
Voorhees, process lies in inserting a
small hard substance in certain part
of the clam and then returning it to
the water. Here the clam remains
for form three to five years, when it is
removed and the pearl extracted. The
