Lord Coke maintained the doctrine that
IAN act of parliament sgainst a common
fight is void" in England i is now set
tied that parliament IN its legislative
cauacity Judges os lis own jurisdiction,
and the judiciary has only power to in
terpret statutes. and not to set them
aside. In this country, however, We
suppose il to be a general principle that
the courts are to judge CT the jurisdic-
ton Of the legislatures, as well in respect
to those unwritten constitutional princi-
Piles which exist of common right" as
in regard to those legal limitations
which are prescribed in the written con-
stitutions. Moreover, that when an act
is passed which, in a sound political
point Of view, is in contravention of the
spirit Of constitutional privileges and
constitutional protection as ascertained
by the philosophy of modern political
science, it becomes the right and duty OF
the judges to pronounce it void. Hence
it is that the study of our country's Con-
sutton is a subject of the highest i'm.
p~ortauee to the statesman and the OBJ
servsnce Of the anniversary Of the indie
pendsnee Of our country Of the greatest
interest to the people. May this great
day be ever celebrated with a due re.
membranes and a patriotic recognition
of the undyiDg principles on which rest
the foundation Of our freedom as a ma
ton and our liberties as citizens and our
rights as members of a great and glor'
Gus republic.

In conclusion. l win express the wish
that you could see Chicago on the bright
side. She is simply glorious now N her
summer attire. She is an immense ag-
glomeration Of all that is lovely in na.
ture and art. Her numerous parks are
among the handsomest in the country;
her ~bOulevards magnificent, and her lake
shore and other drives unsurpassed.
Aside from being the Garden City, and
great metropolis Of the West, she is regal
in every beauty that entrances the soul

little pearl, but Chicago is a great daz-
cling diamond. Come and see us, and

Watchmakers are people who as a
class do not make much noise in the
world. Their occupation is essentially
sedentary-too much 30, if it could be
avoided, and requires an exceptional
amount ofattention, Medical students are
known to be extra buoyant, 80 that they
have grown TO be too much for even the
London music halls, and most trades
and professions are often brought to
public notice as participants in some
more or less social festivity. Watch.
makers in this country have very little
esprit de corps. Ii they are Germans
as most Of them are-they are Germans
fFst of all perhaps they are Susbians,
or Odd Fellows, but they are only
watchmakers in business, and incident
