Wonders never cease. One OF the
most recent of them only occurred
yesterday when "Czsr" Knudsen, q
descendant of the Norsemep, called
the representatives OF the people
together in an unlawful assembly.
He and his mistaken following may
think that two wrongs will make one
right, but We very much doubt it.
Nothing can they do will undermine
the declaration of adjournment
made last Saturday to this morning
nor can they offset, alter or amend
the minutes of the last "session"
day.

When Representatives Fernandez
and Paele, both Home Rulers, yes
terday asked the intention
OF calling the House to order and Of
calling the roll, the Vice Speaker
ruled them out. 1t was that same
czarish and dictatorial spirit dis
played by him as usual duriug both
sessions. No quarters were given to
the questioners and they were none
the wiser as to what was being done.
We think they rightly declined to
answer the roll call and took to their
seats, not rising when prayers were
offered by Representative Kali, a

1t was foolish in the mystics to
have said that they took action to
hold the now known ''mock" session
of yesterday on the advice of the
Governor We are given to
understand that he gave no such
advice, but merely told the one who
sought him that they should GO
about their business and attend to
duty. Such aa advice was not the
Governors to give, but should
have been sought OF the Supreme
Court before taking action.

lease Through the Help OF n
Wonderful witness.

An Australian paper reported, as
long ago as 1876, the following scene
which occurred in the supreme court
OF sydney, during trial for robbery
An aIibi was pleaded for the prisoner.
AT the time OF the robbery he was in
his own hut. listening 10 the recital
of Horace Walpolc's "0ld English

with other novels, committed 90 mem

repeating the tale.
This statement seemed so incredible
that the attorney general, for the
prosecution. asked Lane il he really
meant to assert that he could occupy
two hours and a half with his recita-
ton. Il could" replied the witness,
"and | will, if you please Well have
a page or two" said the attorney gem
eral, and to the great surprise, not less
of the learned gentleman than OF the
court and auditory, the witness, after
a preliminary "Ilem!" commenced:
I'm the time Of King Henry, when
the good Duke Humphrey returned
from the wars in the Holy Land, where
he had been sojourning for number
Of years, there lived" and SO he went
on for several minutes, in tone and
manner which showed that he knew
every word Of the book, until he was
stopped by the attorney general, who
confessed he was satisfied.
But the counsel for the defense was
not; doubts had been east upon Lanes
veracity, and he should be allowed to
prove it, with the time occupied i'm the
recitation, by speaking the whole
novel; The chief Justice was in great
CONSERVATION AT this, and exclaimed:

look closely, you will find Mrs. Cricket

weII-Guarded Doors Nobody

Isolated Cases.
Especial washington letter.

"HIS government OF ours is divided
into three branches, which are
equal in power under the con-
stitution. The executive, meaning the
president, who controls all OF the exec
utive departments; the Legislative, in
GLIDING the senate and house OF repre-
sentatiyes, and the judicial, which
means the supreme court.
The executive and legislative
branches of the government are elect
ed by the people; but the supreme
court is composed Of individuals ap-
pointed by the president, and confirmed
by the senate. Consequently, the
supreme court Is farthest removed
from the people, although il Is, and
always has been, the safe conservator
Of the rights of the people under their
constitution. 1t was the purpose of
the trainers of the constitution TO give
TO the people eyerlastingly the right
to choose their own president and
legislators; but, with wise discretion,
they removed from the direct power
OF popular impulse, the great judicial
tribunal. Therefore, in this govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people, the supreme court is
free from the immediate power Of the
people.
Ofcourse, the people elect their presi-
dents, and those presidents nominate
judges of the supreme court. OF
course, the people, through their legis-
latures, elect the senator's who CON
firm the judicial nominations, which
are made by the president; but when
those judges are installed they are So
far removed from the people that their
judgments are free from any politi-
cal influence whatever. On this ac-
count, mainly, the decisions of the
supreme court have universally been
commended by fair minded men Of all
political affiliations. Even the famous
bred Scott decision is admitted TO
have been an absolutely correct in
depreciation of the constitution; be-
cause the constitution, unamended.
gave the negro mo rights which a white
man was bound to respect" Even the
amended constitution does not compel
that respect which was intended to be
compelled, because there has always
been a lack of vigor in the enforce
ment of the amendments and OF the
civil rights statute.
1t has become the duty of President
Roosevelt 60 select two justices Of the
supreme court, and those selections
have met with popular approval, as
well as senatorial consent. Other
presidents have had great difficulty,
at times, in selecting for these impor-
tant positions Snen whose nominations
were wholly in accord with the views
OF majority of the senator's.
The nomint tions sent TO the senate
by the presidsntare always considered
in executive session; and what SEN
ators say wien all of the doors are
closed canno 1t be ascertained by the
general public. In those sessions the
statesmen talk very freely, and vent
their views without always maintain
ing that decorum of demeanor and that
courtesy to each other, which are pro-
verbal when the senate is in public
session.

session a red light appears over the

two OF these residents sickness Is already

A short while ago. It will be recalled,
the big sewer in this section Of tho city
burst and flooded the residences near by
with filthy water. The work Of repairing
the damage to the pipes is now progress.
Ing, and 1t Is in connection with this that
the second trouble arises No fault Is
found with the contractor, who IS doing
the best he can under the circumstances,
but, so say the people thcreabouts no
effort Is made to keep the street in proper
condition while this work Is going on.
Dirt Is dug up and left, and the foul gas
from the sewer ascends to the surface.
One side Of the street Is like a country
road, and just at this time, after the
rain. resembles nm expanded mud-puddo.
The section chiefly affected is that be-
tween Thirtieth and Thrty-irst on Broad.

Speaking OF the matter yesterday, Mr..
Evans said
The street is in horrible condition. and
we are distinctly Of opinion that It
should be fixed. Some OF my people are
sick, and believe 1t comes from this.
A physician has already said that II the
fresh earth and the sewer gas stay there

Mrs. Ellis came to New York to visit

She remained there several hours, and
as she left she dropped the channels bag
containing tho Jewels. But she did not

morning.
Then she hurried back to the garden
and inquired Of Gus Loeb, the proprietor,
If no had found them. After describ-

kicked the bag about the floor, believing
1t was some edible dropped from tray,
When 1t was finally picked up it was
