date for the return to the order will

appeared in opposition to the new'

C. *Wolfe, D; C. Herbert and B. H.
that the constitution of- 1885
not been complied with in the

fthat, should the supreme eonrt da

niefi up oh its merits, the entire

be upset. .But better so now,
argue, when there is no cohgres

the evils may be corrected. ' .
