Hon. JAMES A. JOHNSON in one of his
late speeches announced the doctrine that a

THE SUBSIDY DECISION.

We gave our ideas in an article few
weeks ago of the duties of the Justices of
the Supreme Court of Sovereign State,
and on being informed by telegraph just be-
fore going to press last week of the decision
of our Supreme Court in favor of the Con-
stitutionality Of subsidies to private corpora
tons, based alone on the doctrine Of stare de-
cisis, we said in substance, that the people
of California had no farther use for Judges
who could not think and act for themselves
but must reiterate some other Courts opin-
ions. We now reiterate this statement and
repeat that the people of California want Su
preme Judges who will give US their own
decisions and not those of some other Court
or Courts. With great respect for the in
dividuality and personal of this Court, we
hold that it is the duty of each member of it
to surrender to the people of California the
trusts granted them. Every line of all the
opinions filed betrays the fact that all the
Judges felt conscious that they were doing
violence to the great mass of taxpayers of
the State and their own judgment in this de-
cision, based on other mems ideas and moi
their own. The opinion of Justice Wallace
and Chief Justice Rhodes reads like the
brief of feed attorney. No quotations are
made from the Constitution of the State to
show that the Legislature has the power to
take one mans property and give it to an
other, yet this is the effect of their decision,
and the only excuse they offer to an outraged
public is, that some Court in Tennessee or
Alabama has set them this example and that
they have neither the nerve or courage to
disagree with this terrible myth stare .decisis
We hold that it is the privilege AMI duty Of
every County Convention in the State and
also that Of the State Convention to ask these
Judges to surrender back to the people the
power delegated to them. Stare decjsjs is a
great fellow when he serves to aid in robbing
the people for the benefit of thieving, plund
ering corporations but not worth notice when
the great doctrine of riparian rights is to be
overthrown. The people must understand
from this opinion that this Court stands
ready to sustain any robbery upon the tax
payers of the State by bought Legislature
and that their only salvation is in Governor
and Legislature or new Supreme Court and
|
been one of the Supreme Judges and fell
that it was our duty to concur in such de-
csion we would have resigned before doing
SO, if it had forced us to beg our bread. II
this Court would now grant new argu-
ment of the case and then all resign, its mem
bers would stand a thousand per cent. better
before the public, and might again be trust
ed on some future occasion Unofficial position

The RAILROAD CIRCULARS. The tNo rail-

of outside of some railroad snubbing post

The Snpremc Court subsidy decision. This
is all correct, and if we were old Stamford

that these circulars abused every body that
'ntertered with cur stealing, or courts that
legalized public thefts. The Reporter, seven
