The Connelly Case. omo of our exchanges seem to think that the late decision of the Supreme Court is to the effect that Connelly is free for good and all. We digested the opin ion. Such is not the effect of the de cision. Connelly was -indie ted for env bezzlement under sections 1,01.3 and 101G of the Code. The Court holds that sec tion 1,011 only punishes embezzlement by:olIi'-ers of private corporations, and 1,0J6 punishes embezzlement by officers of public funds onlv. As Connelly was indicted private statuary as a public; ofliccr for embezzling funds, and embezzlement is a , nut a common law offense, the omission ran only be cured by the Legis lature, 'l'iie court points out that lie may still "be indicted under section 1 ,0iX) for malfeasance in oliice, but that the present indictment is for embezzlement and can not be sustained for malfeasance.

I . i . hi 3 rtiiriiwr 1 the recess shows the anxiety of the Re publicans to carry out their programme for seizing the contested seats. The Boston Globe reports as follows the expression of a leading Republican Con- We must -have more votes, and we must haye them soon. . At the present moment wc could not get a quorum to save our souls. If the Elections Com- mittce could report immediately after the holidays, we could railroad a lew ol tiie cases through while the House is still being run according to I Reed's rules of order. ' The Republicans know that their ma- ,ioritv is at nresent practically a minor ity. " The management of the House has - I ih fact been taken out of their hands, and ex-Speaker Carlisle from the floor has exerted more influence over its pro ceedings than the Speaker and his Chair man of the Committee on ways and Means together, irritated by their own awkwardness and the lack of a working majority, the Administration leaders will stop at nothing to perpetrate the great injustice they contemplate. They must not be allowed to succeed. J nere are occasions w e a raoiau ponev i the only wise one. The Democrats must stand out for their rights, resist aggres sion upon the lawful representation in the House, and be ready to resort to fili bustering if necessary. The Albany Argus agrees with the-Vtar as to the Dem ocratic duty, and states the caso well in this paragraph: "If it be necessary in tho cause of sim- - - plo justice for the minority to resort to fil ibustering, they should not hesitate to use any weapon likely to enable them to check usurpation and outrage on tho right of a member to the scat to which he has been fairly elected. Their opponents are un scrupulous and regardless of precedents or justice, and nothing can be gained by yielding to them iu the slightest particu lar. Ex-Speaker Carlisle is a capable, fearless and experienced leader of the uunority, and it every Democratic Rep resentative will faithfully comply with his instructions, ali will be well. Al ready the scheme to give the Flections Committee the right to sit during the holiday racess, that a report might be made in favor of unseating a number of Democrats after the reassembling of the House next month, has been bafllcd by the vigilance of Mr. Carlisle and his as sociates."' Even if it were necessary to do an un popular thing and one in minor respects hurtful to the public interest, it would be right for the minority members to resort to every legitimate expedient to prevent a fraudulent change in the composition of the House. But filibustering will not be unpopular now if the majority Torccs the minority to resort to it. Therepre sentatiou of the majority of American voters must be defended, and the people understand the situation perfectly. The Montana outrage lias openeel all eyes to the nature of the Republicans' scheme to strengthen themselves in both Houses of Congress without regard to the wishes "of constituencies. Not a single Democratic seat should be surrendered, and no com promises whatever should be made. It is easily within the power of the mi nority, by resolute adherence to a well defined program, to compel the majority to do justice and allow the rollcall of the House' to stand as its fiiral membership. When this joint conclusion is reached legislation can properly proceed. If de lay occurs in carrying out Republican legislative plans, the country will not sutler. The principal measure which the majority members uow contemplate are subversive of local self-government and of our federal system. Their passage would be an unmitigated disaster to the country, and, above all things, the Dem crats must not allow a single vote for them to be gained. , In discharging the Democratic duty of the hour, harmony among the members of the party is the first requisite. Such contentions as that of Saturday between Mr. Mills and Mr. Hoi man are greatly to be deprecated. It is only by forbearance regarding lesser matters that the minor ity can preserve that fraternal spirit which is necessary to a compact and suc cessful opposition.
