Judiciary Power.


 Speaking of the judiciary MT. De- Armond said:
 Tn my judgment, his insight was great est who saw in the judiciary branch of our government the largest element of danger to our republican institutions. am well aware that it is and long has been the fashion to view this one of the three coordinate branches of our gov ernmental tree with a peculiar rever- ence, entirely lacking in the inspection and contemplation of the other branches, the executive and the legislative Is not much-too much-of that reverence the adoration of blindness, the tribute of the subdued intellect, paid through force of habit, and not the free-mnd offering of unfettered thought?
 q am not unmindful of the fact that from time to lime, not even excepting this epoch in our nations history, the lines of executive authority have been extended far. But we have come to a time when the public mind is not con- cerned so much about the extent or the limit Of executive powers as it is about the supposed necessity for what the executive does or attempts, in view of the listless, inefficient course of senators and representatives, and the rapid and menac- i'm. increase of judicial power, by judicial construction. So steady and so greatly have the judges magniffed their office that a congressional enactment is lightly treat ed as unconstitutional, according to the iudgm ent prediudce or whim of the pet tiest federal judge in the land Is it not enough to let the responsibility of nulifyinT the legislative will rest upon q a 1pt laws be laws until solemnly declared by the supreme court not to be laws? Why not deprive every inferior court of the power or assumed power, to pass upon the constitutionality of acts of Con- gress?
 Czar of the House.
 Turning towards conditions in Con- gress MT. De Armond said:
 'Once if was possible for few mem bers of the lower hc-lse of Congress to block legislation for good while, by flibustering Now, one man, the speaker, exercises veto power greater than that of the President. The speaker ensalves majority and minority indefinitely. Then. no one thought of strangling important measures and but few lacked the cour- age to meet issues as they arose. Now it is a fine art in legislative legerdemain to so combine tyranny and cunning as to prevent from session to session and con gress to con~ress, a vote in the open upon measures which no majority would dare to kill outright.
 Some day perhaps, a minority manly enough to fight steadily and resolutely against the one-man power, and for the restoration of the rights of the peoples representatives will awa.;e to find itself in the majority; for the great American people will not suffer their faithful rep resentatives to be permanently or even long the victims of a despotic speaker, carryinc out a despotic policy.
 "When the opportunity comes to you, young gentlemen, to deal with czarism, don't trouble yourselves about Russia, but direct your efforts against the czarism which fourishes in the House of Repre- sentatives of our own country"

As she reached the altar with her uncle she was taken from his protecting care by the groom, and together they advanced into the presence of the officiant, Bishop Gal loway who was assisted by Dr. W.

SERGE POPULAR FABRIC
An SIT Ivory Whites They Are to Be
Much Worn.

The prophecy seems to have come
true that white serge will be more
popular than white linen this summer.
X Is woven in an excellent way,
quite thin and soft, and the price Is
reasonable. 1t is not hard to get the
cream shades, but 1t is difficult to get
dead white; therefore, the majority
Of good suits are in the soft ivory
white. OF course, stripes are in the
serges as well as In every other fab
ric, but plain suit of cream serge Is
more stylish than plain suit Of any
other color.
The black and white stripe Is very
smart, but the stripes should be al
most gray and quite narrow Black
velvet collar and cuffs seem obvious,
but really they are not in first style.
Bright green velvet or silk, sapphire
blue and leaf brown are used instead
Of the black.
The turnover cuff has given place
to the sleeve that flares over the hand
without cuff This is slashed at the
back and fastened up with buttons.
The only touch Of color on 1t is the
binding. that must correspond with the
collar.
Another experiment in color com
binations is to use a bone button in
front and on sleeves to match color
Of the collar. A cream serge skirt
without a stripe In it will have an
emerald green velvet collar with but
tons to match. It is better on youth
than middle age.
There is no objection to the black
velvet collar and cuffs. They are worn
and they will always be preferred to
another color by many women When
combined with the plain cream or even
the cream with the black stripe, they
also give chance for the vivid hats,
belts and cravats that one wishes to
wear. A blue or green collar re-
stricts one somewhat in the choice of
colored accessories.

First it was reported that taffets
might be rubberized; then pongee took
kindly to the process, and now mohair
has become water and dirt proof. This
last is great acquisition to enthusiasts

and cool, and at the same time II
wears like wire. Pongee and silk may
hold their places in the esteem OF
womankind for raincoats to be worn at
social functions, but for driving, auto
mobile and coaching mohair win be
found superior.

MARRIAGES AT SECOND HAND.
Peculiar Ceremony Believed by Many
to Be Legal.

Secondhand marriages" said a
clergyman to Philadelphia Bulletin
writer, ARE believed legitimate and
binding by many ignorant people. In
fact, during my slum work, found a
number of worthy couples who
claimed to have been married second
hand. OF course, such marriages have
no existence in law.
ITO marry secondhand, you and
your lady attend an actual wedding,
and silently make the responses which
the real bride and bridegroom make
aloud.
Secondhand marriages are popular
on account of their cheapness-they
save all fees. Their secrecy is another
great advantage-none can find them
out In fact, everybody would prob
ably marry secondhand, but for the
unfortunate fact that the ceremony
doesn't legally hold
