The Constitution In Practice.

The theory of the constitution is that
the three departments of the govern
ment-the legislative. the executive and
the judiciary-are independent Of one
another. In practice the government
is not carried on In harmony with this
theory. The system OF checks and bal
ances does not operate as its inventors
intended. The president was to have
had the power of selecting his subordi-
mates; the senate, through the exercise
of the power Of confiriS : ton, was tc
prevent the appointment OF unworthy
men. especially of men who might con-
nive with the president to usurp pow.

subordinates are forced upon him. He
usually selects after consultation With

senate. for he has It's power behind
him through custom which has grown
to be rule of conduct, known as the
courtesy of the senste."-CeDtury.

THE MECCA FOR SOL0NS
Many Have Reached the Seat or War
and Are Ready for the Preiiminary
Work Senator Mccum ber May Be
Nominated at Once. .-E.&a j

Bismarck. N. d., Dec. 31.--Quite a
large number OF the members OF the
legislature are arriving, and the cor
ridors of the Northwest are assuming
their regular appearance when ses-
sion is in progress. Every one seems
busy, and the preliminary work seems
to be we'll under way. The caucus
will be held Monday evening to de-
tertnine what the organization of the
two bodies will be. The friends of
Senator McCumber are asking that the
republicans first take up his reelection
and place him formally before the leg
islatpre, instead Of deferring this mat
ter until later date. In fact they
wish this decided before even the
question OF the officers of the two
houses be named. This seems a rea-
sonable request as nearly every repub-
lican member of the legislature has al
ready expressed hiself as favorable to
sending Mr.. McCumber back to his
old duties for another two years, and
it is very probable that this course will
be taken. ~ ~. .y&
Both houses meet on Tuesday, but
the probability is that the messages of
Governor White and Governor Sarles
will not be delivered until later on iii
the week The sentiment is general
that the outgoing governor has good
reason to feel proud of his record, and
the entire state anticipates good busi-
ness administration from Governor
Sarles.
Extensive arrangements are being
made to have the inaugural ball on
Friday evening of next week the
greatest social event in the history Of
the entire state. IA H.. 81
