BOMANCE OR REALITY
Of the Miner Law to Be Argued in
the Michigan Court To-Day.
A SQUAW AND A POLICE JUSTICE
Raise a Big Fuss and Suddenly Become of
National Importance.
DRAMATIC INCIDENTS OP CAPEICE
JePECIAL TKLECRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Lansijcg, Mien., May 1L A squaw and
a police justice have raised a big fuss in
Michigan, the effects of which may reach the
whole country and change the methods by
which Presidents are chosen. The details
are being told by eminent attorneys in the
Supreme Court here, and no one can guess
the result The joint bluff of the Indian
woman and the white man in this case stand
out as a prime example of what even ordi
nary people with nerve may do in impor
tant matters, without knowing the meaning
of their acts. The queer play which demon
strates this tact has lasted for more than a
year here, and after many shifts the combi
nation has finally reached the highest tri
bunal in the State, and anchored itself
there. Now that the lawyers are playing
their part, the people who have regarded
this by-play of politics as funny only, are
beginning to see how rapidly apparently
harmless words can grow into dangerous
ones.
Political quarrels between the two lead
ing parties are so common in the different
States that they arrest very little atten
tion. But into the one now on aro woven
so manv romantic and dramatic incidents of
caprice and endeavor among the people in
this primitive land kissed by the wind and
washed by the waves of four wonderful
lakes, that if there were nothing else in the
controversy it would make an absorbing
story.
Merely the Resinning of the End.
There is a touch of reminiscence in it all,
recalling old-time scenes in "Washingfon
during reconstruction days, when women
weie called in to play the pathetic dodge in
politics. At first this case appeared like a
joke, and these breezy people went on
hunting tor money until knocked down by
a bald emergency. Then there was music,
money and effort without stint, and the end
is not yet.
Truly, "great events may turn upon
slender hinges." The truth of this saving
is to-day before the topmost court of this
State, and upon its decision waits matters
of great import to the whole country. This
territory inhabited by wolverines is by no
means alone interested. The scenes which
began like a farce, soon changed to melo
drama, and the last act, now being written,
is almost certain to finish with even more
serious lines.
"Were it notfor the grave questions which
are up for decision this legal contest over
what is simply known as the Miner law,
and the incidents crowded about its enact
ment, would be humorous enough for a
comedy without a single dull line. But the
problem the squaw and police justice
created is of such moment that every State
in the Union is deeply interested in the j
fxeue now set in the court room ot the State
Capitol. Dry constitutional propositions
are in this instance relieved by a most re
markable chain ot circumstances which the
country at large does not seem to know
much about.
Importance of the Miner Lav.
Again, no one seems to have paid very
much attention to the "Miner law," which
they created. Should it stand the test ot
the courts, it will destroy the precedents
that have been accepted as law by all the
States tor more than 32 years, and "by most
ot them for twice that length ot time.
The incidents which bring about this
very siagular state ot affairs are very cur
iously woven together by the pale lace and
the Indian woman. The first act began
long ago, ill the northern part of the State,
when a dusky maiden of the trail was taken
for wife by a man named Friedlander,
whose career and habits at that moment ran
quietly along with the wild elements of
that part of the State. He, as the story
goes, made his living by association with
the Indians and in following their ways.
Many stronger men than himself had
"jiued drives" with an Indian maiden, and
did not object to the association. As a rule
they fared well by the partnership. The
dusky spouse always did her full share of
the work, as well as holding her end up in
the game of providing. Then, shs was not
expensive. A blanket, some gaudy calico
now and then, and a lew beads, touched the
limit of her wants, and things moved along
swimmingly in that nomadic life.
Civilization is sure to mar such a com
munion. As settlements became numerous
its light dawned upon Mr. Friedlander, and
he drifted away from his led friends into a
lower couutv. In due course of time he
wedded a lady of his own color and joined
hands with the civilization about him, leav
ing the Indian wife and the fruits of their
union on the old hunting grounds, where
they had been happy together. She did not
murmur, and probably never would have
done so, had not the demon of politics made
it desirable that she should speak and act a
new part.
Democratic Ascendency In the State.
Michigan two years ago went Democratic
for the first time in many, many years. The
Governor, all the State officers, the Supreme
Court, and the lower House of the Legisla
ture hung at the Democraticbelt as trophies
gathered on the political war path. But the
Senate was one ltepublican. and here was a
bar to all legislation calculated to change
the ltepublican methods of so many years'
standing. It was necessary to have one seat
to make Democracy supreme. As long as
its opponents could keep their men all in
hand, it could not be reached. There were
many funny scenes surrounding the by-play
which kept both sides watchful and the
Democrats hunting for a flaw in the Be
publican hedge.
Friedlander now became the star actor.
His position in the new community where
he anchored after leaving his Indian home
had reached the dignity of Senatorial aspi
rations. The fight between him and his lte
publican opponent was so close that Fried
lauder contested the seat when his rival was
declared elected, but the contest could not
be heard as long as the ltepublican ghost of
one vote stood in the way.
One day the Democrats caught the Re
publicans napping, and, while one of their
men was absent, the case wa called up.
The Senate was now a tie. The Democratic
Lieutenant Governor had the deciding vote.
Of course, the ltepublican was ousted and
Fiiedlander anchored in the seat he claims
to have been cheated out of by the ltepub
lican Keturning Board. Talk about a scene,
the Republican camp was full ot them, and
red fire was turned on them all.
The Sqnaw a Valuable Acquisition.
The squaw and the half-breed children
were now valuable, it not necessary to tho
ltepublican end of the play. She was
lound in her far-away home, brought to this
city, and took the stage as an injured wife,
much as Eliza Pinkerton, with her gaping
wounds was lugged before the investigating
committee at New Orleans to illustrate the
cruelties of the Xu-Klux.
The new part was a revelation to the
women of the reservation. She fared well
at the hotel, had a carriage at her disposal,
and for a time enjoyed the ways of civiliza
tion that had ever been a stranger to her.
The attentions of those she was to serve
were very funny; but she took them all
without a word, and played her part well
She was not brought to Lansing for pleas
ure, however, and after certain formalitic
of necessary hospitality were over she was
called upon to act a role in a game which
lias now reached the limits of the nation in
its importance. The fun is now oyer, and
the grave end of a queer by-play inolitics
is shown in a scheme to'get rid of Fried
lander. The Indian wife had awarrant
issued for his arrest lor bigamy by(vay of a
starter. The Democrats were too watchful,
and it could not be served. It did not take
the Senator long to recall his former life
among the savages, and he quietly went
into camp inside the State House. As long
as he kept within its sacred walls he could
not be arrested, and a faithful Sergeant at
Arms was kept on guard to see that he was
not kidnaped. Every day Friedlander was
in his seat and voted, but never left the
building, about which the Republicans kept
a guard.
While this siege was kept up the State
was redistricted and other Important legis
lation was enacted, which the courts are
now asked to destroy. After a time the
squaw wife pined for her rude home at the
North and went home, leaving the law to
take its own course. She had seen enough
of civilization.
The Author or the Innovation.
Mr. Miner came to Detroit as a yonng
lawyer, and, entering politics, was made a
police justice. The year when this play of
politics was on at the State Capitol he
turned up as a member of the State Legis
lature. Whether by himself or by the ad
vice of stronger minds, he presented a bill
in tnA T.txriala tit., wnini ImiamA n law
giving each Congressional district the I
power to, as a district, elect its Pres'idental
electors. If this law be good, it, makes
the Democrats certain of six Presidental
electors, with more hatching, even if the
State goes Republican by many thousand
majority. Hence, the combat is to set this
law aside.
The Supreme Court is no longer Demo
cratic. The Republicans elected a new man
this year, and as all such political questions
are universally decided by partisan bias,
the Republicans hope to get rid of Miner,
Friedlander and his squaw wife, all at the
same time. The national character, hovever,
of the contest, is what gives it its interest to
outsiders. The Republicans are exceeding
ly anxious to maintain the old doctrine of
State rights in this case, and insist that all
the people of a State must vote for all the
electors. TUeir point is that precedent in
this matter becomes a law, when long
acquiesced in. Another, and what appears
to be the strongest one, is that the Four
teenth Amendment to the Constitution
makes the precedent so long in force the
law of the land. F. A. Bukb.

COMING AMUSEMENTS.
Kate Castletox and "The Dazzler" will
pay rittsuurg their second visit this season
at the Bijou Theater next Monday. 'Tho
Dazzler" Is a farce comedy of the familiar
and popular type, and MissCastleton will he
rememueied as its chief attraction when last
been here.
It is a long while since Kate Claxton and
her "Two Orphans" were seen in this city,
and no doubt a warm welcome is ready for
her and them when they shall appear at the
Alvln Theater next Mduday. Miss Claxton
will, of course, assume her old character of
the blind girl in "The Two Orphans," and
she will be supported by a strong company
headed by Charles A. Stevenson.
"The County Fair" will be at the Grand
Opera House next week. This popular play
has been seen here twice, and theater-goers
are familiar with its story and incidents.
Suffice It to sav, however, that "The County
Knit" is a comedy of New England manners,
and is redolent with the odor of clover blos
soms. The great racing scene will be given
this engagement as completely as be'ore,
and the cast is the original one, including
Marie B.ues and all of C. B. Jefferson's
selected company. ,
It is hard in those days to find a really
new and striking title for a play, bat Glen
McDonough seems to have succeeded in find
ing a decidedly taking name for his new
play, which he calls "The Prodigal Father."
Lest some people should imagine that this
play is of a religious character, it should be
explained that it is a farcical comedy, brim
ful of laughter from beginning to end.
Messrs. C. U. Jefferson, Klaw and Erlanger,
who aro managing the production, have en
gaged n number of good actors, among others
W. II. Thompson, who only a few weeks airo
made quite a sensation in this city by his
natural and humorous embodiment of the
old Californfan railroad millionaire in "Geof
frey Mlddleton." This play is to have Its
first production f n this oountry at tho Alvin
Theater on May 23.
The Barnum & Bailey Circus, which will
appear here on Monday and Tuesday of next
w eek. Is said to be grander than over, and
the new spectacle of Columbus' Discovery
of America has been described by Eastern
papeis as the finest thing of the sort yet
seen. Tho circus and spectacle will both
take place in Exposition Park in Alle
gheny. The route of the circus parade is as
tollows: Starting promptly on next Monday
morning at 9 o'clock, Exposition grounds,
South avenue, to Allegheny avenue, to
Western avenue, to Ohio street, to Federal
stieet, to Isabella street, to Seventh street,
to Liberty stieet, to Smithfield street, to
Water streel, to Wood street, to Third ave
nue, to Market street, to Sixth street, to
Robinson street, to Church avenue, to Union
avenue, to Ohio street, to Federal street, to
Lacock street, to Exposition grounds.
"Each Spoonful has
done its Perfect Work;'
Is the verdict of every woman who has used Royal
Baking Powder. Other baking powders soon
deteriorate and lose their strength, owing to the
use of inferior ingredients, but Royal Baking
Powder is so carefully and accurately com
pounded from the purest materials that it retains
its strength for any length of time, and the last
spoonful in the can is as good as the first, which
is not true of any other baking powder.
MENDING LAME LAWS.
The Constitution Committee of the
II. E. Conference Disagree.
A MAJORITY REPORT SUBMITTED.
Illegality of the Acts Passed in 1872 Causes
All the Trouble.
FODK NEW BISHOPRICS ASKED FOR
Omaha, Neb., May 11. Bishop Joyce
occupied the chair in the Methodist
Episcopal General Conference to-day. Dr.
E. J. Gray, of Pennsylvania, introduced a
resolution to change the rules so as to give
different boards authority to eleot the
official editors, superintendents of the Book
Concern and other offices usually elected by
the General Conference. Dr. Gray also in
troduced a resolution calling upon the Com
mittee on Episcopacy to consider the ad
visability of districting the whole territory
of the Chhrch into as many districts as
there are effective bishops, and to assign to
each bishop, except the senior bishop, a
prescribed district for the term of four
years, instead of leaving the bishops to
divide the work as they do at present. Both
resolutions were referred.
At the juncture Bishop Joyce introduced
Rev. Dr. Teggert, fraternal delegate from
the Methodist Church South. A ringing
resolution was offered, calling for an earnest
effort to unite the two branches of the
Methodist Episcopal Church in the United
States. It was referred to the Committee
on the State of the Church amid applause.
The Constitntlon Committee Divided.
The Conference now took up the consid
eration of the report of the Constitution
Committee. Bishop Merrill said he would
be glad if he could represent the commit
tee as a unit, but it hail not been. The re
port was the opinion and conclusion of the
majority.
"I shall not argue before yon as to whether
our conclusions were right or wrong,"
said Bishop Merrill. "1 simply ex
plain our conclusions und leavo you to de
cide." Bishop Meriill continued:
That portion of the constitution put In unlaw
fully w.is not put in at all. In reality. The con
stitution rcallv should remain as It was in I&&J.
with the exception of those changes which were
lawfully made. That which went In unlawfully
took the place of parts that were unlawfully put
out, ana those parts are not out at all. even though
they may seem to be.
Bishop Merrill said he would like to vin
dicate the action of the Conference ot 1S72,
hut the trouble lay in the fact that the Con
ference of 18C8 failed to confer the power
upon the Conteience of 187.2. which the lat
ter Conference assumed. The Confeionce
of 1S68 provided for the clothing of the Con
ference ot lb72 with power to change the re
striction" tnen in existence: but cue confer
ence of 1S72 went further and made addi
tions to the restrictive rules. There was
the milk in the coccanut. This assumed au
thority ought to have been corrected long
ago, but never had been.
The Bishop said there aro Methodists still
living who imagine the six restiictive rules
form the whole of the constitution of tho
General Conleience. The committee held
that all the fundamental rules that govern
the General Coulerence were a part of the
constitution.
An Important Amendment Offered.
Dr. Hammond then offered an amendment
to the report to make all those acts constitu
tional which had been supported by a two
thirds voto of the church In accordance
with the lcstrictivo rules, but all other
parts should not be considered a part of the
constitution.
Dr. J. M. Hamilton said this was a look
backward. Tlieie was no use to find great
fault with anybody The Conference should
look at the wholo situation under the light
of the present day. He olijectod to the long
preamble that the committee had present
ed. The Conference, he thought, should also
decido what was meant by laymen. Did It
mean only men, as Dr. Buckley held, or did
the word laymen mean both men und wom
en? This should be made dednlto by this
Conference, if possible, berore the women
themselves got into the Conference to debate
the question. Applause.
The Committee on Episcopacy has docided
to recommend that lour new bishops be
created, in defiance of the official acMon of
the Episcopal Board, which was against in
creasing its members. This, it is said, was
brought about by the candidates them
selves. The most prominent candidates for
Bishop are Dr. Peck, Cincinnati: Hamilton,
Boston: McCabe, Now York; Leonard, Ohio;
Whitefleld, Ion a: Puvne. New Yoik; Bristol,
Chicairo; Noelv, Philadelphia, Swindell,
Philadelphia; King, New York; Partzell,
New Orleans.
The Committee on Episcopacy had n red
hot meeting this afternoon on the question
of changing tho episcopal icsidences now
located .it Buffalo, Toneka, Fort Worth
nnd Cincinnati, and giving a Bishop each to
ueirou, Jennie, r.uropo ami .japan, .no con
clusion was reached, and the committee ad
journed till Friday.

WALLPAPER
We bought a carload of FINE GOLD WALL
PAPER this week that should cost 25c a bolt
WHOLESALE. They have Borders and Ceilings to
match, and we have marked them all 10c. This is the
Greatest Bargain ever offered in Pittsburg.
On account of the season getting late we have
reduced the price of many others.
