If the Journal cannot say any
thing in praise of the Montgomery
fee bill it might tell its readers that
the Machine is making a heroic eff
fort to have the courts decide that
the Montgomery fee bill is uncon-
stitutional, SO the $50, 600 will once
more flow back into the pockets of
the Secretary of State instead of the
State Treasury.

Reno, New, Feb. 21.-The startling
