When a Legislature" remarks The Kansas City Journal. refuses to pass certain laws recommended by the Gov ernor, should the Governor call spe- cial session for the specific purpose of having them passed? The Legislature is the lawmaking body. Under the Constitution, the Governor has done his whole duty when he makes his recom- mendations. The Legislature properly decides whether they are wise and de- sirabIe or otherwise. To reoonvene the lawmaklng body to do what 1t has refused to do is an attempt to drive 1t into carrying out the Governors will This Is an invasion of the rights of the legislative branch by the executive an. assumption of powers by the Gov ernor that are not rightfuily his and that the Constitution never intended him to exercise"
 Our contemporary should not allow itself to be surprised at any degree of assumacy on the part of Governors nowadays. The example set ct Wash fngton has led some of them to look on themselves as having been called and set apart for the express purpose of bossing things. And we feel bound to say that some recent examples have tended to support them in their vain glory and conceit.

IA TRuIsM.

Clark Howell once remarked that 'it will be great day when we can get the trains to run on time and on the tracks" That was what we sup- pose might be called a truism. Per- haps we might call 1t an altruism. for 1t is certainly to the interest of all that these two desirable conditions may come about. Whatever may be the cause or the difficulties 1t is a fact that trains do not run on time. neither freight, passenger, mail or mixed, can adhere to the schedules. Whether it is because the schedules are so made that the slightest failure in one place will whether it is because the time limit calculated on in making up time tables is too close. or whether the fault lies in tracks, engines and rolling stock. or whatever may be the cause or causes, the fact remains that from all parts of failure of trains to make connections, or to arrive and depart on time. That such misconnections and uncertainties are annoying and sometimes expensive is true. but that doesn't point to the remedy or suggest one.
 But more important--at least for the passengers--than running on time is running on the tracks. People, even passengers who are in hurry, may submit to delays in transit, but when the trains leave the track 1t is 6 mat ter of decided importance; As the old negro expressed 1t: When de train runs oft'n de track. whar Is your" Some of the unfortunates never know where they are, so far as timely matters are concerned, and others wish themselves somewhere else Just then. Here, also, 1t really apears that all human inteli- genee is at fsuit. Some wreeks can be accounted for because in many cases they leave the evidence behind them. but in others the most painsteking in- vestigation fails to afferd any clue to the cause of the disaster. The only verdict is that it was accidental and that no one was to blame.
 \ The frequency of these wrecks. with
 
 the appalling horror of many of them, is becoming a matter of serious con- sideration, and here again explanations are many and varied and do not always explain. The dispaches are almost daily bringing us news Of e disaster. We learn when and where it occurs, the number of dead and injured. and frequently there is nothing more. Sometimes misplaced switch, broken rail or something of the kind Is plalniy the cause of the mishap. and 1t is so stated. but that doesn't prevent other accidents of the same kind and other deaths and injuries. In short what we want is to have trains run on time and on the track. will the time come when we shall see both?

At one time that was considered the best government which cxacted the least from the people. Now it seems to be the rule that the common people merely exist as a means for supplying money for the government to spend; at least that appears to have been the idea of past State governments 1t is DO defense to say that special laws have been framed which will supply the money. At last the property own CTS must pay it, under whatever guise 1t may be extorted If the Legisla- lures were called on to supply the money to meet their own appropria- ttons, we venture to say that little money would be appropriated. If the tax commission law or any other law will increase public revenue 1t will could be reduced. That. however, seems to be an idea which has not en- tered the comprehension of the law makers. They seem to think that their duties are comprised in two general rules--to extort all the money they can from the taxpayers and spend all they can get. The Journal insists that such course is not only undemocratic, but actually dishonest It is taking from the people and sauandering money simply because the spenders have the power to do so.

SATURDAY, MARCH as, 1oO7.
pRrNCrpur ANp PrpEaREE.

A contemporary reflects that many a pure, good girl cares more for the, pedigree of the man she marries than for his principles" That is true, and those who want proof of it need only read the newspapers to And the evil denee. Many a good American girl marries foreign nobleman of some grade, only to learn that it would have been more credit to her, and would have brought her more happiness to have married an untitled blaclxleg at home. The nobleman in many cases marries her solely for her money and she takes him simply because of his title. There is no question of love or fitness involved, and 1t is not strange that the woman soon learns that she is yoked to @ titled beast and is only too glad to get rid of him. If she had married an American workingman or even a coachman. she would have been cut by her society friends, but prob ably her married life would have been more satisfactory in all respects. Not all American girls who marry foreign CTS fare so badly. of course. but there are enough discreditable examples made public to make the experiment a doubt full one.
 But we need not go so far a-feld to lind examples, for many of them arc In evidence here at home. We have no titles in America, but we do have classes. and we have marriages of con- venience which turn out as unhappily and discreditably as that of Anna Gould or some of the other sad ex- Rmples of catching a lord with cash. A good and pure young girl in our own land not infrequently marries a man because of his wealth or his stand. Ing in society and finds. by sad experi- ence, that she made an exceedingly bad bargain. In other words. she cared more for pedigree than for principle and fared accordingly. We suppose 1t will always be so while humanity re- mains as 1t is.

"The Lusl1 act of the last Legisia- ture is causing much trouble and con- fusion in many places by changing the times of holding the courts in many circuits. Especially is this the case in Washington and Baldwin of Judge Browne's district" says The Mobile Register. The Senator from Marshall seems to have the faculty of mixing up things when it comes to regulating circuits and terms of courts. The LusIf bill of four years ago caused inter. minable trouble and was finally knock ed out by the Supreme Court when things resolved themselves into their original clements As noted above, there Is confusion in Baldwin and Washington Counties, due to conflict ing dates, and now up in Winston, which was put in e new circuit. it has been discovered that everything done this week will have to be done over The funny part about the Winston business is that one Senator and three Representatives attended the court and did not realize for several days that the Luslx bill 50 changed the time of holding the court as to make adjourn ment necessary.

Tn speaking of the recent death of Hon. James L. Pugh, The Advertiser said that Hon. George s. Houston died January IT. 1880. If we had consulted our own files, instead of relying upon book containing biographical sketches of all the Senators and Repre- sentatiVes in Congress from 17e4 to 1903. we would have glven the date of his death as December s1. 1879, instead of that given by the Congressional compiler. Governor Houston was elect ed Senator for the term beginning March 1, 1879, and had been in Wash ington attending the long session. He left Washington to spend the Christ mas recess at his home in Athens. was taken sick on the way, and died in the morning on the last day of the year 1879.

American Capitalists Behind the Move
 nsenf for ProtectOrate.
 Charleston News and Courier.
 Practically, protectorate, if not outright annexation. seems highly nec- essary to the designs which our shrewd exploiters and investors b1ve upon the Pearl of the Antilles. The owner, for example, of the Florida East Coast Railway and it's system of hotels and steamboets, who is now extended his railway line from Miami across the Florida keys. to Key West, can hardly be expected to expend millions in ho- tells at Havana even if he has contem- plated 1t, unless the United States in sures internal peace h the islandf and the same considerations would govern hundreds of others who are prepared to develop its timber, tobacco. and sugar lands.
 It goes without saying that the yesrn ing of considerable group of Ameri- can capitalists for Cuba's raw wealth has lost none of It's strength since the cry of Cuba Libre raised by the insur- rectiorists temDted them to set their lines for its capture--lines which in- cludeds of course, the use of the mili- tary power of their country. For a long time they endured delays with pa- tisnce, but there arc present among them signs of unrest They are con- yiaced that Cuba is ripe for plucking, and they are exarting Themselves open ly and strenuously to convince others. We take it that the bargaining is for the most part over. and that it only yemains to seize and possess
