If congress does not do something some-thing to override tho supremo court decision, de-cision, there will be a great drop somewhere. some-where. Tho papers aud women of the west are excited over it, and if something some-thing is not done the latter may resort to violence, although it Is hoped not. If it had been a woman who possessed tho senility to make such a decision as the original package ono, 1 would go ten miles to shake her; but the supreme court judges are old men who must have an afternoon nap.
