TEoIoSSof 1iuolI6s. see this. Accord
ing to Giddings, Hamilton set up class
government in America, and we have
never had anything else, but in doing
so he gives Hamilton credit for sagacity
and craftsmanship. 1t was then and
there the only thing to do. The Amer
can colonies were not ready for real
democratic government; hence the ex-
Ne;iiency of making the government
sTable by creating a select governing
body-namely, the senate, and giving
struggle between democratic elements
and the upholders of privilege came
with the slavery issue, and when the
electoral college gave way to popular
nominating conventions there appeared
an antidemocratic power more eff
which had been created inadvertently
namely, the power of the supreme
court as interpreted by Chief Justice
Marshall to nullify acts of congress by
declaring them unconstitutional"
Professor ~Giddings says it is idle to
intended to create this power, but,
granting that such a power exists, it is
not idle to ask If that Is the conclusion
Of the whole matter. He holds that the
unconstitutionality Of an act of con
gress is not established until congress
by acquiescence or otherwise concurs
in the adverse decision of the supreme
court. He believes that congress will
invoke this amending power for final
Judgment when the people become real
ly democratic. This he declares to be
the issue of popular government in
America, "the precise point at which
the democratic attack upon privilege
must be made"

Myers Parcels Post Programme.

Myer at the Philadelphia Union league

packages to be increased from four to
eleven pounds; third, parcels post to

the rural delivery route originates,
with rates of cents for the first
pound and 2 cents for each additional
pound to eleven pounds.

investment for, if horse valued at s25 900 catches cold whiia being shipped over the road, the carrier is called upon to pay for the horse if it dies and it can be shown that the car was rot properly heated and ventilated. As thousands of race horses are transported from one part Of the country to the other each year the proper care and hand ling this business makes necessary tn use of carefully constructed roll ing stock.
 It is no uncommon thing for mil lionaires to ship their horses each winter from the east to California and then to bring them back in the spring. The owners do not object to paying special rates for the cars, but they are more than ready to come back at the transportation companies if anything happens to the horses in transit. The cars just ordered by the Central are fitted with food and water compartment harness closets and suitable living apartments for the men in charge Of the animals.
 The automobile cars ordered last year by some of the eastern roads have proved so popular with ship pers that many more have been or dered this year by leading roads. These cars are built with special large doors to facilitate loading and unloading.

 4 novel copartnership in the banking business has been in exist ence for some time between Gumbo, the trick elephant at the Bronx Park Zoo. and Jack Gleason, his keeper. The firm has been doing business under the firm name of Gumbo and Gleason, but the part nership was almost dissolved a few days ago when Gleason discovered some of the business methods of his associate.
 Tn front of Gumbo's stall hangs cigar box bearing the name of the firm and in this box visitors are eX- pected to drop their pennies and nickels. The elephant works a sort of cash register game and acknowl edges the donation by ringing bell. Gleason. Gunbo's partner, noticed of late that the receipts were fall ing off although the line of depos- itors seemed to be as big as ever.
 Finally Gleason made search and among the rafters in the ele- plants stall he found some fifty nickels and thirty pennies tucked away in odd corners When Gleason read the riot act to his partner the latter took an injured air and ask ed permission to resign. The en- bezzlement having been made up, the firm is again doing business.

-Four Men Die from Drinking

Ashland, KY, Aug. 2.-From
the effectt drinking beer from a
keg into which copperhead
snake had crawled and died, four
men are dead add two are dying
at a woodland camp in the noun
tains, fifteen miles back of Welch,
Mcdowell county.

Will Simpson and Joe Strang
formed party that pitched cam p
atsthe edge of a mountain stream
for a two weeks outing. They
had taken small keg of beer
with their effects, hauling them
over an old timber tramroad.
The keg had been opened and
left half submerged in the cold
water with the bunghole unstop-
ped. 1t is presumed that some
time during the afternoon the
copperhead crawled into the keg
and died. All but Strang drank
the beer in the evening, and in
less than fifteen minutes were
suffering untold agony. Strang
made a wild night ride on the
tramroad down the mountain to
the nearest village, where medi-
cal help was secured, but by the
time the camp was reached
Biggs, Topham, Turner and
Simpson were dead from the ef-
fects of the terrible poison, and
while Johnson and Willis were
just alive, they are probably
dead by this time.

REFUSES To TRY
CALEB POWERS
Special Judge Robbins Springs
Surprise at Opening of Trial

Georgetn~n, KY. Aug. l.
Judge Z Robbins, in a writ
ten decision, which he read in
open court, vacated the bench in
in the Caleb Powers case this
morning. His decision followed
the filing of an affidavit by
Powers, alleging that Judge
Robbins was prejudiced and
could not give him fair trial.
The conclusion came like a
bombshell explosion in the camp
of the prosecution and was a
great surprise to the defense.
Judge Robbins took up each
alleg alton of Powers and denied
specifically that they were true,
but said that it was too late to
mar his record as judge by sit
ting in a case when he was &C.
cused of unfairness. He said that
the statement to the effect that
he had said, after the last trial,
that they were all guilty and
and should be hanged, was utter
ly false. He said that his politi-
cal affiliations would not influ-
ence him against the defendant,
but that he was a Democrat and
had been a Democratic office
holder.
Breathless silence was main
tanned In the crowded courtroom
while the judge read his opinion
and his vacating the bench came
as a complete surprise to the
spectators.
Immediately after he left the
bench people rose in their seats
and began a disturbance, so that
they had to be subsidized by the
sheriff.
Robbins said that the affidavit
of Powers was unsupported, but
that he would not serve under
the circumstances. After leaving
the bench he asked the clerk to
notify the governor and the at
torneys retired in an effort to
agree on another judge.
The defense submitted thirty
two names of Commemorative "a
Attorney Franklin from which to
select special judge, but all
were refused. Most of the ma mes
submitted were declined. Frank
lin refused to give list himself.
An order of disagreem ent was
entered and the governor will
now have to find judge.
The trial will not be proceeded
with until Gov. Beckham ap-
points new judge.
The members of the legislature
of 1900 have been summoned by
the defense to prove that the
caucus declaring Goebel COVER
nor was not legal. This evidence
is to be introduced in support of
the pardon Issued to Powers by
Gov. w. s. Taylor during his
short regime. The pardon has
heretofore been held invalid.
Powers had the pardon in his
possession when arrested.
