THE APPOINTMENT OF ELECTION
INSPECTORS.

There is no provision of the election law
palmer than that which confers upon the
County Commissioners the authority to ap-
point the precinct inspectors of general
elections. Equally plain is the provision Of
the law which declares that the City Coun-
ell shall exercise the power conferred upon
county commissioners in the selection of
inspectors for city elections. There can be
no other Interpretation of the law that can
stand. Consequently. if Mayor Taggart un-
dertakes to interfere with the action of the
Council in this matter he will ignore the
plain provision of the election laws and pre-
cedents. The extensively officious person who
is trying to magnify the Office of city clerk
has been acting upon the assumption that
the mayor will join him and others in TAX
ing from the Council the authority TO ap-
point the election inspectors in the Fif-
teenth ward and later in the city. The city
clerk is simply the roll-keeper or recording
officer Of the City Council. For a season
he seemed 10 imagine that he was vested
with authority 10 revise the sentences OF
the city court. but it appears he has been
far the mayor has given no intimation that
he will take a part in the scheme of de-
priving the Council of its authority to APP
point election inspectors the city clerk
and some members of the Council assume.
1t is sincerely hoped that he will observe
the law and turn his back upon the sug-
gestion of interference.
1t is a matter of little consequence, so far
as the result is concerned, who selects the
inspectors for the special election in the
Fifteenth ward but it is a matter of much
moment whether the plain provision of the
law shall be ignored and men appointed to
act as inspectors whose acceptance and
discharge of the duties might vitiate an
election. The Journal sincerely hopes that
Mayor Taggart will have nothing to do
with this scheme of peanut politicians. If.
however. the mayor should interfere in this
matter and put inspectors into the booths
at the special election, let the Republican
members of the Council be prepared to take
the matter to the Supreme Court at once
and ask for immediate opinion that shall
be observed in the selection of inspectors
for the city election in October.
In this connection it may fairly be said
that if Mayor Taggart should sustain those
who seem determined to deprive the Coun-
Gil of its lawful authority to appoint in
spectors, he will make men of both parties
believe that such a reckless usurpation of
power is regarded as necessary to insure a
Democratic victory by an unjust exercise
OF authority by partisan inspectors. He
will cause many voters who do not believe
that he would resort to ballot-box frauds
to carry an election to change their minds
and to accept the declaration of his enemies
to the effect that in October. 1899. he was
elected by inspectors after the polls were
closed.

SECRETARY HAYS WORK.
Little Probability that He Will Re-
sign-Messnges of Sympathy.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-The deepest
sorrow for the secretary and his family
in their afffction is expressed at
the White House. The President
had a high estimate of Adelbert Hays
talent and capacity, and desired him
to accept the position of assistant sec
rotary. to which he was about to appoint
him. Young Mr.. Hay, after deciding to
accept this position close to the President,
had already begun to examine into the
duties which would be required of him.
He had a conference with Secretary Cor
telyou, at which much had been explained
to him, and late last week Mr.. Cortelyou
had written about some other features of
his work which he had omitted to mention
at the interview.
Secretary Hay has in hands several mat
tiers of negotiations that are very near to
his heart. For instance, he has. after the
most exhaustive investigation and sound
ing of senators. satisfied himself that he
which TO erect another canal treaty to
replace the Hay-Pauncefote treaty that
failed. and one that will be almost certain
TO command the approval of the Senate
1t is his ambition TO remove absolutely
source of possible conflict in the future
the misunderstanding resulting from the
treaty 10 the conditions OF to-day. This
object is almost within reach, he feels,
and his friends and intimateS here are
satisfied that he will allow no private at
Fiction 10 interfere with the consummation
OF this plan.
1t is entirely possible for Secretary Hay
to secure a full opportunity 10 rest and
recuperate from the blow of his son )
death without sacrificing the chance of
completing the negotiations for this treaty
in season for its submission to Congress
at the next regular session. Indeed. he
already had begun to plan for an absence
from Washington from early In July until
about the middle of next fall and he might
date had he not desired 10 remain at the
Presidents right hand until Mrs. McKin-
ley's condition permitted of her removal to
Canton. Therefore, il is said at the State
Department there Is no good reason why
the secretary should return TO Washington
before next fall, by which time IL is con-
iidently expected he will be able TO under
take without sacrifice all OF the duties of
ficials feel warranted in denying that there
is any foundation for the rumors of the in
tended resignation.
The Treasury Department on Saturday
counts OF Adelbert s. Hay as United States
consul at Pretoria. and warrants were
drawn for s2.7sS. due him on settlement
by the auditor for the State and other de-
partments- The warrants Will be for

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June 24-The sec

TRIAL OF A ROYALIST.
Marquis De Lur-Saluces Charged with
Returning to France.

PARIS, June 24-The Senate assembled
court of justice to try the Marquis De
Lur-Saluces, the well-known Royalist, and
former member of the Chamber of Depu-
ties. who returned Unexpectedly to Paris
about the middle of May. after having been
condemned in January, 1900. in default of
appearance. to ten years Punishment from
France for treason. The president of the
Senate, NJ. Falleres, presided The marquis.
escorted by two guards, appeared at the
bar of the house to answer the charge of
completely in the crimes of high treason
and attempts against the safety of the
state. for which NM. Derouede. Buffet,
Marcel-Habert and Guerin were condemned.
Although there was no crowd around the
palace Of the Senate, and il was evident
that the trial was not arousing the excite
ment the marquis anticipated when he re-
turned TO Paris, two companies of Repub-
lican Guards and large attachments of po-
lice were stationed in the precincts of the
palace.
After rejecting the pleas made by counsel
for the marquis to the effect that the Sen
ate Court was null because ii was not COM
posed of all the members of the Senate
the names of witnesses were called. Among
those who answered were NJ. Lepne the
project of the Paris police; General Eur
linden, NJ. Trarieux, senator from Gironde
General Chamoine and Major Cuignet. while
NJ. De Freycinet eXminister Of foreign
affairs. and others who were summoned by
the defense, sent their excuses.
The remainder of the session was occu-
MED by two monologues, one from the
Marquis of Lur- Saluces and the other by
NJ Falliere. The marquis began by read
ing a long statement in the nature of A
political indictment of the government, in
which he spoke of the Fashoda incident
the financial bankruptcy of France the
Dreyfus trial and the campaign against the
army
NJ Falliere requested the speaker to keep
within the limits of the present trial The
marquis concluded his address in these
words: Il see in this high court of justice
not judges but political adversaries. You
can punish me by force. but not by right d"
NJ. Falliere then began his monologue in
which he reviewed the charges against the
Marquis OF Lur-Saluces in a series OF Ques-
tons 10 which the marquis vouchsafed no
word in reply. Finally NJ. Falliere asked
the marquis why he fed across the from
tier The marquis remained silent at this
question. The trial then adjourned
and IL is said the proceedings will be con-
cluded Wednesday
The Courier du Soir in it's issue OF this
evening predicts the acquittal OF the mar
quis, and says the high court persists in its
determination TO punish only the leading
actors in the reasonable action against
the state, and TO extend its disdainful in
diligence to the supernumeraries.
