questions on which open issue has been made, and
which rest entirely Hypothetical and conjectura
duons is irrelevant and supernuous Yet IL must be
admitted that In the present temper OF the public
mind tho very tendency TO admit such questions 10

deep interest," WIN when The acts Of tho legislative
body are watched oy The public, think II only right
