DEATH OF N. GUIzOT.


This famous French writer and states
man, died near Paris yesterday. He
was born on TIE 4th of October, 17S7,
and therefore lacked less than a month
of completing his eighty-seventh year.
Educated at Geneva, he had published
before 1909 his first work-a revision
ofGerard's French Synonyms" Sew
eral other works followed Lives of
the French Poets" a translation of
Gibbun's Decline and Fall. "The
State of the Fine Arts in France" etc.
In 1912, he was appointed Professor
of Modern History in the Sor-
bOnne. With the fall of Napoleon
he entered political life, and
held various positions. The liber
al tone of his writings, however,
caused him to be prescribed and for
some years he devoted himself entirely
to literature. In 1880 he was again In
Office, and, as a member of the Cham
ber of Deputies, was prominent in the
contest which brought about the revo-
luton of July and the establishment
of the Orleans dynasty. On the
accession of King Louis PHILIPPE he
was named Minister Of the Interior,
but held the position but a few months.
In 1882 he again became Minister and
held the place four years. In 1910 he
was appointed ambassador to Great
Britain, but after a very few months
hewas called TO take a place IN the
Cabinet of Marshal Soult, of which he
was the real head for more
than seven years. The downfall
of the citizen King resulted in NJ.
Guizot's flight to England. He never
afterward took any part IN public af-
fairs. NJ Guizot was one of the most
voluminous writers of the time. His
fame will rest chiefly his History
of European Civilization and his
"HIstOry OF Civilization IN France"
At the time of his death, he was en-.
gagged on a study of the life and char
acter of Washington and a ChIldren's
History of France.

many wounded. Capt. j. NJ. West, prin-

Nothing could better illustrate the
incompeten and ignorance of the
attorney general of tile United States
than the miserable figure he has cut
III The Arkansas difficulty. Not con-
tent with disgracing the federal gov
eminent by making the administra-
ton party to the shameless con-
spiracy of Kellogg and his land pirates
in Louisiana, he has repeated the same
blunder In d case where the same legal
questions We're involved. In dis
patch to Governor Baxter, he says:
las the controversy relates to your
right to hold state office, its adjudca-
ton belongs to the state
courts. If the decision of which you
complain is erroneous, there appears
to be no reason why it may not be re-
viewed and correct decision obtained
from the supreme court of the state"
The supreme court of the United
States says explicitly that no state
court has jurisdiction of such case.
Referring to the question rs to whether
Dorr or King was governor of Rhode
Island, Chief Justice fancy, delivering
the opinion of the court, said: Indeed
we do not see how the question could
be tried and judicially decided in q
state court. Judicial power presup-
poses an established government, capa-
BILE of enacting laws and enforcing
their execution, and of appointing
judges to enforce them. The accept
ance of a Judicial office is recognition
of the authority of the government
from which it is derived. And il the
authority of that government is an
nulled and overthrown, the power of
its courts and other officers is annulled
with IL. And If a state court should
enter upon the inquiry proposed in
this case, and should come 20 the con-
clusion that the government under
which it acted had been put aside by
any opposing government, it would
cease to be court and be incapable of
pronouncing u judicial decision upon
the question 1t undertook to try.n
These two opinions are as opposite
~ two opinions can be. Which Is
light? Has the attorney general mis-
'epsesented the law, or has the SUI
)reme court misrepresented it? There |
) somewhere an old proverb to the eff |
ect that, ifyou mount an upstart on |
lorse he cares not in what direction he |
ides. The proverb is not only appli- !
able, but we are compelled also to adj
nit the justice and truth of the obser-
alton Of Mr.. Nesmith in congress the |
ther day, who, while referring to the |
ixteen hundred, dollar landaulet, re-
iarked that lawyers of the attorney
eneraPs caliber in Oregon rode OH the
