over.
Bryan has been invited to the dinner
That point is settled but il was not
settled without some few words, at that.
1t was taken for granted by most that
Bryan would speak, of course. Bryan at
a public dinner not saying anything is
unimaginabe. However the story is. that
those who opposed sending him any invi-
tation at all to the dinner insisted that
he be not invited to speak Thus the
following official statement was sent out
from the Democratic Club last night:
The following gentlemen have been
invited and have consented to speak at

CT attic Club will give in honor Of Thomas

platform states that While large num-

cause it would undoubtedly lead to a

livered a lengthy address.
The first mention of the name OF

JOHNSON AT SHILOH
Minnesota Governor Speaks at Dedi-
cation of Monument Erected on Bat
tIefieId in Honor of State Veterans.

| Shiloh Battlefield, Tenn, April TO-
Governor Johnson, of Minnesota, made
| the principal speech today at the ded-
cation of the monument erected to
| the memory of Minnesota soldiers who
fell on that battlefield. Governor
johnson, in closing his address, said:
Our government is divided into three
separate and distinct coordinate
branches; the legislative, the execu-
tive and the judicial. Danger will sure
ly come to this republic when any of
these departments of government at
tempt in the slightest degree to usurp
the functions of the other, and while
now and then it may be that court
of the land, in constituting the consti-
tuition, may nullify a section of 1T, l
have the faith to feel that the people
of the country will rise above the fall
ibility of judicial tribunals and assert
and preserve their own rights. Our
duty is not to criticize the executive.
the legislature or the judiciary. Our
duty is to recognize the majesty of the
law when enacted by the legislature;
to abide by and with the honest exc
cution and administration of the laws
when SO enacted, and to respect, even
tho wrong, the opinions of the courts
of the land. because when respect for
these institutions is gone, then the
very framework of our government is
bound to crumble and decay. But
having thus given our acquiescence to
the voice of authority, if in the opin-
..,, oJf %1,o tho {o1y iS
one which should not be exercised by
that particular department, it is our
inaienable right to so further limit its
power as to prevent the recurrence of
the error. Very recently there has
come from the highest judicial tribunal
in the land a decision of vital interest
and concern to the American people,
because it has established a principle.
as stated by one member of the court
which would work radical change in
our governmental system and would
inaugurate a new era in the American
judicial system and in the relations
of the national and state governments.
It would enable the subordinate feder-
al courts to supervise and control the
official action of the states as tho
they were dependencies or provisions.
1t would place the states of the union
in a condition of inferiorty never
dreamed of when the constitution was
adopted or when the eleventh amend
inent was made a part Of the supreme
law of the land If this is the rule
law of the land If this is the result
of this decision. IT Is. 10 my mind. one
Of the unhappy Incidents in the history
OF our republic. because the very the
ory of our government is based upon
the right of the states to control abso
lutely their own domestic affairs.
IF then. our whole system of gov
crnment is changed. have We not only
retarded the progress Of the republic.

Ryan declared last night that even if
the marriage of Miss Helen Maloney
and Arthur Osborne is annulled by the

to Samuel Clarkson or any one else,
and that the Philadelphia heiress will
still have an important bridge to cross
before she can reach the place where
she may receive the sanction of the
Catholic church to marry the young
Englishman with whom she eloped last
year.
That bridge. the archbishop said.
was the ecclesiastical law, which will
have to he satisfied before any priest
of the Roman Catholic church may
perform the ceremony.
Archbishop Ryan said he had not
been asked to perform the ceremony.
II have not been approached by the
family" continued the archbishop. ut
is an unfortunate affair and / regret
the notoriety it has brought to Marquis
Maloney, for whom I have the highest
regard"
Marquis Maloney left the city yes
terday following a sensation caused
by the publication of letter from
Arthur. Osborne to Justice of the Peace
Boyd, in which the Princeton student
alleged that he and Miss Maloney had
travelled as man and wife.
