WASUINOTOS , D. C. , Oct. 11. Arguments
In tbo case to test the constitutionality ottho
Michigan Ijw providing for the choice of
presidential electors by congressional dli-
ttlcts , which came up on appeal from the
Michigan supreme court , were bo un In
tha United States supreme court today.
1'ho political aspect of the also Is very pro-
poucccd , at It Is admitted that If the taw It
sustained It will give part of Michigan's
electoral vote to the democrats. Attorney
General Miller appeared as ono of the
counsel of the republican side.
The attorney gnncral did not appear In his
official capacity , but as n private counsellor.
Ha took part In the argument. It is very
Unusual In this country for the attorney Ren-
oral to participate in private cases aud his
pppoarunco today vvas a subject of talk
Among lawyers ,
Attorney * ti > tli Cine.
The attorneys who took part in the argu
ment today are : Attorney General Ellis ,
iudgo Chaplin , formerly of the supreme
court of Michigan , and Otto Ivlrschner ,
formerly state attorney penoral , In tavor of
the constitutionality of tbo law , and on the
other xldo ll. M. Dufllold and Attorney
General Miller nnd Frederick A. Baker , a
loading democratic lawyer of Michigan , who
U retained on tho-fcpubllcan side of the case.
In his argument , Mr. Duflleld rolled prin
cipally upon the contention that the Miner
not was in violation of the fourteenth amend
ment to the constitution , declaring that no
tate shall mauc or onforcn any law abridg
ing tbo privileges of citizens of tha United
States , and as at the ttmo of its passage citl-
ions could vote for all electors , that system
could not bo chanpod. This amendment and
the fourteenth or fifteenth amendments , ho
insisted , created a citizenship of the United
States , ann that it was in violation of the
constitution to deny each citizen the richt to
vote for all of the proaidontlal electors to
Which the state Is entitled.
Justice Gray inquired if bo held that the
lecislaturo could ohooio the electors Itself.
Mr. Dufllcld replied In the aQlrmatlvo.
ffho three Kraa.1 post-war amendments , he
assorted , put Into the constitution a guar
antee to o'very citizen to bo treated alike , and
made a national citizenship whore there had
heretofore been a citizenship only by virtue
of citizenship in a state.
Their first 1'ulnt.
Messrs. Chninnlin and Kirschnor , as thcli
first point , raised tbo question of jurisdiction ,
jnixltnafuinK that in the form in wuich the
case uarao here , viz : An application for i
writ of mandamus to compel the secretary o :
state of Michigan to glvo a certain notice o
the coming election , It was not rcviewabh
in a federal court , but only in a state court ,
ilr. DuOield's points were answered will
reference to tbo fifteenth amendment. 1
was contended that its cole object was ti
prevent discrimination and bad no appllca
tlon to cases where all citizens wcro troaux
alike.
alike.Mr. . Kirschnor made a strong point of thi
political nature of the case and cited precedents
dents to show that the court had ruled tha
political questions must bo left for settle
mentto the political departments of the gov
ernment , and In this part of his talk ho several
oral limes turned , apparently intentionally
toward Attorney General Miller. Sovcrt
times the courts bad muclo ttio mistake o
passing upon purely political controversies
aud in every instance tbo result was a fall o
the bench in the public estimation.
Ho was proceeding to argue mat the mat
ter of presidential electors was ono eve
Which the state legislatures as the petition
tepresentativos of the states had complot
control when Justice Field , interrupting
asked : "Could the state legislature delegate
gate to Ann Arbor college the right to a [
point these electors ? "
Mr. Kirschner ( with soraa hesitation )
don't see why not.
To this the justice replied rather curtly
' I dent see why not cither , from your lino'c
argument. "
Mr , ICirschuer , proceeding , said the pollc
of changing tbo method of selecting pros
dentlal electors might bo questioned , but t
bad never heard the legality of any cbaug
questioned.
Justice Jlarlan Could tbo leelslatui
authorize cno congressional district to sel'oi
the electors for the whole state !
Mr. iCir.-icnner Yes , your honor. 1
\vhlch attorney general added , "But there
nn danger of it , "
Mr. Kirschnor , in bis argument , deplore
the tendency to bring all disputes into cou
and said this was an attempt to embroil tt
court in o political matter which belongc
solely to the political department of tl
government.
Attorney < i nornt Miller' * Opening.
Attorney General Miller In his oponit
answered as follows :
" 1 hold It to be ono of the most bopof
signs of the tlmos that tbo courts are cith
arousing or being aroused to the fact that
* iho rights of the people of the United Slat
nro to be preserved they must bo prcservi
by an observance nnd enforcement of tl
law , and that thev nro prepared to talto at
ere taking by the wrists political bosses wh
assuming thut questions nro purely politico
are committing grand larceny with roferen
to tbo rluliU of tbo people of the Uniti
States. In saying this I am not saying it i
a partisan. I am perfectly well aware tb
people have been robbed by unjust appc
uonraeuts by the party to which 1 belong i
well as by tbo narty to which I nrn oppose
and It Is high time tbo courlH should say
these worthlct It is Just as much larceny
teal a political right as it Is to steal prlva
* property. Hence 1 say if this cnso com
hero In such avav thai the court mav pro
erly take hold of It It Is not only n right , b
It seems to mo tbo highest opportunity of t !
court , to bcrvo the country and help to pi
ervo its Institutions. "
Mr. Miller argued that the frumcrs of t
constitution Intended that tbu state shou
bo represented aa stuto , and that tbo pow
of choosing doctors was granted , not to I
legislatures but to the status , leglslatui
simply hnvmg tbo duty of fixing tbo mane
of execution of the power.
Justice Cray-.Wsis the district syste
whllo in operation , over challenged ns bci
beyond the power of the legislature !
Mr. Miller My understanding is that
was not and t lie re has never been an elect !
In which the decision would have been c
termlnatlvo of the election.
Mr. JJuflluld interjected that that was
time when electors wore free to cxcrc :
their personal preferences ,
Justice ( ! ruy Does It appear that t
tncory has ever been changed by the cons
tutloa. [ Laughter. ]
Cln.nl for the KUtr.
Attorney General Kills of Michigan clos
for tbo stato. Ho suld it was only the ox
ency of a political emorcency which b
caused tba point to bo raised that the d
tricl system was unconstitutional , In 1 !
party snlrlt rau so high thut an olcoto
commission was appointed and Samuel
Tlldou was counted out and Kutherford
Hayes counted In. but nobody had qui
tlonod the fact that Colorado electors b
benn appointed by the legislature.
Ho was reading tome oplmrms of ropnl
can members of tbo electoral coramlsdon
this matter when Justice Field asked to ha
the authority gtvon. U was done and t
Justice leplled : "Most people think I
least said about that tbo better. "
Mr , linker closed the case. His line
argument was that the constitution contc
plated a system of selecting a president
uersonal preferences of electors , but tl
the constitutional design wa lncapabl <
execution and that by usage , had ueon est
luhed tbu election of electors and of pn
dent by votes of wbolo states , aud tbat
the fourteenth amendment this cbango
condition was recognized aud a natlo

Condition of Kunsus Cropi.
TorniCA , Kan. , Oct , 11. Secretary Mohlor
of the State Board of Agriculture has issued
bis crop report for September. The report
places the average yield of winter wheat per
acre at 13.0 bushels and the total yield at 70-
3L)5S5'J ) ' bushels. The yield per acre of spring
wheat is 14.53 bushels and the total
crop is 4,502fi20 bustiels. Jt is yet too early ,
says tbo report , to give the final statement
of the corn crop. It is estimated at 25
bushels an acre , whicb would make a total
crop of HO.O.VJ/J-'O Bushels. The yield of oals
pur acre is placed at L'S.04 bushels , giving p
total crop of 43,7 ,484 bushels. The yield ol
rye Is pUcod at 4.042,023 bushels , and barley
at 3,842,954 bushels.
Dry weather is roportnd from all portion" ol
tbo state , retarding tbo seeding. Much
plowing was done in July nod August , with
the ground in good condition. Dry weather
has retarded the growth of winter wheat and
the plant is sufTering in some places. Not
half of the wheat to be sown is in the ground.
Uuless mora favorable weather prevails dur
ing October the winter wheat acreage will
probably ba considerably reduced.

The Wyoming cattle war has booo trans
ferred to Omaha , and now Instead of fight
ing with shot guns and Winchester ! u is
proposed to do tha fighting la the courts of

The war at this end of Iho line li brought
on by the commencement of a suit In which
Milo Ourko Is the plaintiff and H. H. IJnms ,
\ \ . C. Irvine and C. U Talbott are iho de
fendants ,
Tbo plaintiff alleges that ho arrived In
South Omaha yesterday with a tralnload of
cattle from the ranges of Johnson county ,
Wyoming ; that immediately upon his arrival
bo was mot by those defendants , wbo ac
cused him of stealing the cattle , that they
claimed them and at once took them from
him without duo process of law.
Ho also alleges tbo the is not a cattle thief ,
nor does ho deal In stolen cattlo. In several
pages ho recites the recent troubles
with the "rustlers" nnd ends
his petition by alleging that It
Is the custom of largo dealers like the de
fendants , to conspire against the small stock-
owners to defraud them of their rights ; that It
Is one of the plans which they have adopted ;
that they declare these small owners robbers
and without any proof take their cattle from
them wherever found ; when shipments are
made these cattle kings follow Iho small
dealers to murliot and rob them of their be
longings.
In tbls case Butko has roplevlnod his slock

the defendants for the recovery of n Judg

WITHOUT THE
BOW ( RING )
it is easy to steal or ring watches from the
pocket. The thief gets the watch in one
hand , the chain in the other and gives a
short , quick jerk the ring slips off the
watch stem , nnd away goes the watch , leav
ing the uctiin only the chain , ,
This idea stopped
that little game ;
The bow has a groove
on each end A collar
runs down inside the
pendant ( stem ) and
fits into the grooves ,
firmly locking the
bow to the pendant ,
so that it cannot be
pulled or twisted off.
