TESTING THE ILLINOIS LIQUOR

A Bloomington saloon keeper is test
ing the sulliciency OF the so-called Upton
liquor law. The point he makes is that
after the law had passed the senate by n
majority of the senators elected, the title
thereto was amended by majority vote
of the quorum present, which was less
than constitutional majority.
Judge Upton, before whom the case
was tried, decided that the title is no
part or parcel Of statute, but simply
the name or description of it. lie refer
red to several authorities sustaining this
opinion, and declared that the law had
been regularly passed and was in all re.
spects valid.
The Bloomington saloon keepers are
dissatisfied with this decision and have
appealed to the supreme court. in the
hope of obtaining reversal. Hon
John McNulta is confident, however
that the decision will stand.

SwARTzcoPE, OF the Grand Tower
Item is freethinker, alike In religion

PRESIDENT GRANT has vetoed the bill
that reduces the Presidents's salary from
$4,000 per year to $4,000. As he
sanctioned the law that increased his own
pay, 1t would not be entirely consistent
to approve law that would reduce the
pay OF his successor. Congress will now
pass the bill, no doubt, over the presi,
dents veto. The House will, at all
events, and that will place the Demo.

KICKS AGAINST INVESTIGATION

| We can not see why, having rejoiced in
the commitment of Mcdonald and Nc
Kee, and applauded the results of con.
gressional investigation of Republican
officials, the Bulletin should not initiate
the candor with which the Republican
press advocates the prosecution of such
bogus members of the party as have pre-
tended to or repudiated Republican prin-
ciples.
Heretofore we have had from this same
journal an approval Of the rulings of his
honor Judge Woods. We have had the
declaration from the whole Democratic
press that the authority of the federal
courts was paramount, and that the con-
struction Of the reconstruction laws by
the Supreme Court was decisive of all
State courts Of first or appellate jurisdic-
ton. 1t is with some surprise, therefore,
that we see the conduct of Judge Woods
in case Of judicial investigation adverted
to in the following harsh TERMS Speaking
Of the Fehrenbach case, it is said:

md acrimonious, Q picked jury, Instructed
almost by partisan Judge to find verdict |

THREE CITIES.

New Orleans has been for fifteen years
devoted to the twin interests of civil war
and partisan politics. Within that time
three cities have sprung into prom inence,
each of which owes Its progress to the
capacity and enterprise of its people. St.
Louis and Chicago each claim nearly
double the population of New Orleans.
Each was village when New Orleans
was city. San Francisco is the product
Of American development under peace
and industry. California is an American
colony planted on the shores of the Pa
cific, twelve thousand miles away or
four months voyage by the open ocean,
now to be reduced to less than hundred
hours Of railroad rapidity.
We give some items of California COM
merce: The precious metals received in
San Francisco amounted last year to up
ward of eight millions of dollars. The
quicksilver produced in California is now
fully equal to half the consumption of the
world. The export of wheat and flour
equaled three million barrels. The wine
product was eight million gallons. The
wool product was forty million pounds.
The tea imported was worth above twenty
six millions of dollars, and the coffee
twelve millions of pounds. The popula-
ton approaches in numbers that of New
Orleans. The school system equals that
of any State in the Union.
In the case of the three cities mentioned
the whole enterprise, industry and capital
OF all the people have been harmoniously
devoted to the common prosperity. In the
case of New Orleans there has been an
unhappy struggle for power and place
which has neutralized the strength of the
conflicting interests and excluded the
peaceful capitalist or industrious mechanic
from the field of legitimate enterprise.
The spring opens upon the three peaceful
cities. They prepare for the crop of COM
merce. New Orleans prepares for crop
Of politics. They invite and combine all
me elements OF common property. The
inhabitants of New Orleans divide and
light over the prospect of Office and sala-
y. Under the one system the three cities
must advance to prosperity and power.
Under the other New Orleans can but
experience stagnation and decline. Sup
bose We copy California.
