THE MICHIGAN ELECTORAL LAW. Arguments to Its Constitutionality Be- fore the United States Supreme Court. ‘The Michigan law providing for the election of presidential electors by congressional elec- tors, known as the Miner law, came up for con- | sideration by the Supreme Court yesterday ality. | William McPherson and others, who are the | republican electors, are secking a mandamus to | compel the secretary of state of Michigan to issue the notice of election under the old law. The claim sot forth by McPherson and others is that the Miner law is unconstitutional. The supreme court of the state of Michigan refused the writ,holding that the law was constitutional, and the petitioners carried the case up to the | Supreme Court. Attorney General Miller is | ‘one of the counsel associated with H. M. Duf- field and F. A. Baker as counsel for the peti- | tioners, who seck to overthrow the law. State Attorney General A. A. Ellis and Otto | Kirchner represent the state of Michigan. ARGUMENTS AGAINST THE LAW. It was contended by the petitioners that the law was void and of non-effect for the reasons that it coutrovened the second clause, section 1 of article 2 of the Constitution; that it contro- vened and was repugnant to the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution; that it wae in direct contradiction to the act of Congress of February 3, 1887. In support of the first rea- son it was argued that the whole state must name the electors, that portion of the voters | could not name one and another portion an- other, within the meaning of the Constitution. ‘The second reason was based upon the allega- tion that by the operation of the law the rights | and privileges of the voters of Mjchigan were | abridged, fn" that “heretofore. they the privilege and right of voting for all the electors of the state, but now they could vote for but two, which is forbidden by the fourteenth amendment. The third reason was based upon the variations from the act of February 3, 1857. First. The meeting of electors ia fixed for the first Wednesday in December instead of the second Monday in January. Second, Makes it the duty of the secretary of state to prepare lists of electors and alternate electors ai liver them to one of the electors. No provision iy made in the state act for sending any certifi- cate tothe Secretary of State of the United States, or other United States official, and no provision for making any statement of the number of votes given for persons voted for for the presidential electors. For the defense it was maintained that the law was wholly constitutional and right, com- ing within the clause which gives to. the legis lature the power to determine how the choice of electors shall be mad Mr. Duitield opened the case and during his argument Justice Gray inquired if h the legislature could not choose the electors itself.

THE TENNIS TOURNAMENT. Playing in the Finals Yesterday Afternoon— Nast Defeated by Woodward. The finals in the singles in the District tennis tournament were played yesterday. Mr. Wood- ward met Mr. C. M. Nast and defeated him in three straight seta, the score being 6-4, 6-4, 6-2. Mr. Nast is a new player here, and in making his way up to the finals he has displayed a promising degree of skill. Mr. Woodward was the first veteran player he happened to meet in the tournament and his defeat was not unex- pected. The resultof this game gives Mr. ‘Woodward the first prize in the singles. which consists of a pair of silver-backed brushes, pre- sented by Harris & Shafer. Mr. Woodward will play Mr. Davidson for the championship. The second prize goes to Mr. Nast, and it is a cane, presented by Baird & Galt. "In ‘the dou- bles Davidson and Woodward beat Herbert and Paget—6-4, 6-4, and Borden and Wooten beat the McPherson’ brothers—6-4, 5-7, 6-3. David- son and Woodward met Borden and Wooten for the finals in the doubles. Two sets were played, both of which were won by the first named team, and then the play was stopped on ac- count of the growing darkness. In the consola- ton W. L. McPherson beat C, L. Howser—6-1, 6-0. Play was resumed this afternoon. SSS Death of Mr. E. N. Leonard. Mr. E.N. Leonard died suddenly yesterday morning at his residence, 1217 K street, of heart disease. ‘The deceased was apparently in good health, and his death was a painful hock to his large circle of friends. He had beena resident of the city for thirty-five years, and was well known in business circles, At the time of his death he was connected with the jewelry establishment of J. Karr. He leaves a wife and two sons—M. W. nnd H. 8, Leonard. Funeral services will be held at the residence tomorrow at 2 o'clock, and will be conducted by St. John’ Lodge of Masons. The interment will be at Glenwood. —_.__ Site for Girls’ Reform School.

With reference to | the fourteenth amendment, it was contended | that ite sole object was to prevent discrimina: tion and had no application to cases where all citizens were treated alike.

Justice Harlan—Could the legislature author- ize one congressional district to select the elec- tors for the whole state? Mr. Kircbner—Yes, your honor. To which Attorney General Ellis added: “Lut there is no danger of it.” | THE ATTOR VostT1oN. Attorney General did not appear his official capacity but as attorney, at| the request of Mr. Duflicld. But in view of the President's eggestions in his message to t winter, referting to the desir- y iform practice in the matter of choosing presidential electors and of the rela- tions between ident and his Attorney General, Mr. Miller's remarks possess unusual | significance. Mr. Kercbiner in his argument | insisted that the case should have no standing in court for the reason that it was the result of aconspiracy by the republican party to drag the Supreme Court into politics. Mr. Miller paid some attention to this assertion in bis re- marks. He said: hall occupy buta few minutes, as T have recently come into the case. Asa preliminary I would suggest that there may be a better time to decide this question than now. For many years the laws have been in entire uniformity, until this act of the state of Michigan was passed, and now at the very threshold, beforo any action has been finally taken or the election of the President is challenged, now, if ever, it should be once for all settled ‘and ‘determined what is the rule of action in this matter, if there isa case here properly presenting the question. want tosay one thing further preliminarily, differing from the gentleman who last ad- dressed you, that I hold it to be one of the most hopeful ‘signs of the times that the courts are arousing or being aroused to the fact that if the rights of the people are to be preserved they must be preserved by an observation and enforcement of the law, and that they are pro- paring to take and are taking by the wrist Political bosses who, assuming that questions are purely political, are committing grand lar- ceny without refereuce to the rights of the ple of the United States. And in saying this I am not saying it asa partisan. Iam perfectly well aware that the people have been robbed by unjust apportionment by the party to which I be- long as well by the party to which I am op- posed;and ft is high time that the coarte should once for all to say these worthies: It is ast ae much larceny to steal a political right as it is to steal private property. Hence, I say that if this case is hero in such @ way ‘as that the court may properly take hold of it, it is not only the duty, but it seems to me the highest opportunity for the court to serve the country and help to preserve its institutions.” Mr. Miller then proceeded with an argument as to the unconstitutionality of the law under question. ———s ‘The Good Templars.

POLICY WRITERS. ‘The District Attorney Starts a Raid on the Fraternity. District Attorney Cole is continuing the war on the policy people, which was begun a few days ago, when the raid was made on the al- leged headquarters on New York ayenue, which resulted in the arrest of Horbach and King, as published in Tax Stan at the time. Yesterday nineteen warrants were issued against persons alleged to be in the employ of the firm as writers, and the legal writs were sent out in order to have all the parties looked up Inst night, if possible. As was done before, the marshal’s office was called upon to assist in - the matter, as Capt. Cole did not desire to intrust the affair to the police. Some of the warrants, however, found their way to the police precincts and’ the officers caused the arrest of several of the parties named therein. Ex-Detective . Miller, who is acting as a special agent of the Distaict attorney's office, swore out the warrants and will apy ‘as the chief witness for the prosecution. These alleged writers, it is charged. were all em- ployed by the’ firm of King, Horbach & Co., anditis charged that most of them were old and experienced writers, many of them having been in the employ of either the “old” or “new” firm before they were virtually broken up some months ago. ‘Lawyers Sillers, Closs and Shillington are ap- pearing as counsel for the different defendants and Judge Miller is requiring 300 in each case for the appearance of those cl Deputy Marshal Maurice Joyce has been active in the policy business and has succeeded in making many arrests as well as securing valu- able testimony.

The names of the defendants were Frank Honesty, George Bowie, John Koutzter, Harry Reed, Mary Jane Johnson, John Austin, Will Racks, John Carter and Moses Johnson. Johnson was arrested when he visited the court this morning, evidently anxious to learn the outcome of the trials of those who were ar- rested yesterday. Counsel appeared in the cases atid asked either for a jury trial or a trial by the court, but Mr. Mullowney was not ready and the cases went over until Friday. Lawyer Sillers complained that one of his clients, John Austin, was an innocent man an wanted a trial today, as he was unable to give bail and he objected to being locked up in jail. The prosecution, however, was not ready and the case went over. Gurety, BUT SICK. In the case of Fred Blackburn, which was called, Mr. Sillers said he desired’ to enter a plea of guilty. His client, he said, was sick, and he therefore asked for a light sentence. “What's the matter with him?” the court in- aired, “He the consumption,” replied counsel, who produced a physician's certificate and satd that Blackburn was so weak he could hardly walk up and down stairs. “Then,” said the court, “he had better go to jail, where he will not have to walk up and down the steps.” Sentence was deferred until tomorrow, = eal the testimony of a physician will be heard. When the cases are heard some interesting developments ure expected, and counsel for one of the defendants says th: of the policy writers will probably “squeal,” as giving away illegal secrets is termed by the police, and that another firm, said to be operating in this cit will come in for its share of the policy man’ some of the other of the nineteen war- ere served and the alleged writers were ‘Transfers of Real Estat Deeds in fee have been filed as follows: H.

BABY AFFLICTED WITH BAD SORES AND ERUPTIONS.-NO_RELIEF.—PERMA- N TLY CURED BY THE CUTICURA. During thesummer of 1889 my eighteon months’ olf infant was so aftficted with eruptions that ordinary domentic remedies fatled to give any relief. On his hips would often app-ar tho seeming track of alittle wire-like worm, and on other parte of his body bad sores came and rematned till I procured the CUTI- CURA REMEDIES. For some time I used the soap and salve without a blood medicine, but they did not do 80 well as when all were used together. It has now ‘been nearly @ year since the eruption was healed. and Ivery much feared tt would return with the warm weather of this year, but the summer is passed and not one sore has appeared on him. Mrs, A. M. WALKER, Carsonville, Ga. SORE PROM WAIST DOWN, Thad three of the best physicians in Paducah, and they did me no yood. 1used your CUTICURA REM- EDIES, and they have cured me sound and well.

If the thousands of ittle babies who have been cured of agonizing, itching, burning, bleeding, scaly ‘and blotchy skin and scalp diseases could write, what a host of letters would be received by the proprietors of the CUTICURA REMEDIES. Few can appreciate the agony these little ones suffer, and when theso great remedies relieve in a single application the most distressing eczemas and itching and burning ‘skin diseases. and point to a speedy and permanent cure, it is positively inhuman not to use them without a moment's delay.
