Twill be observed by the call for the

THERE is an erroneous impression
throughout the country regarding the
applause" and daughter" in the Gui-
teau trial, and Judge Cox is pronounced
"to blame" &C., and severely criticized
for permitting it. 1t is but fair to ask if
all the telegraphic statements are true.
and whether it would not be well to take
some of them cum grdno sails. 1t is true
that Guiteau makes an ape of himself
and affords most disgusting exhibit
He is a nuisance, but no way has been
suggested by which he can be made to
behave himself, and the reports of his
sayings are without question rendered
verbatim. But when The word laughter"
is interpolated in the notes it is proper
TO know aCha degree of laughter
was indulged in. 1t is hardly
right to consider that the court
is for the time being converted into a
pandemonium of giggles and outlaws. II
is noticeable fact that in many in
stances the utterance of a single in
diyidual has been rendered laughter u
in the hurry Of a reporters comments
hheh III iact ~ was Soii'aiy rlpple lolu
some individual crank, and promptly
suppressed, Nevertheless it goes out tc
the public as an act which, were it al.
lowed, would be reprehensible. In the
interest of justice it is proper to make
this statement, and it is suggested that
the reporters be more cautious, and not
by an exaggerated stroke of the pen lead
the public TO believe the matter to be
worse than it is.

Tho Lnw-Ninlting Time.

The legislative season is at hand. In
few days Congress and the Legislatures
of numerous States will be in session, and
the work of making and mending laws
will begin. As Lawmakers are not ex-
empt from liability to err it may be as
sumed that in many instances they will
dothose things which ought not to be done
and will leave undone those things which
ought to be done, and that, therefore,
there will be less health in various bodies
polite than there might be if the average
of intellect and virtue were higher; less
than there will be in the good time COM
ing, if millennial prophcsies are to be re-
lied on.
There is no reason to doubt that so fur
as quantity is to be considered, our legis-
lators in Washington and State capitals
will make a great showing. Too many
of them have the radically defective the
DRY that laws are panacca for nearly all
the ills that wait on frail humanity. They
do not seem capable of understanding
the great fact that in democratic repub-
lie, or under any system of representative
government, public opinion rules. Or,
if they concedc the potency of public
opinion, they imagine that ii is to be
created by laws. They reverse tho nat
ural order, and, instead of looking upon
law only as the crystallized expression
of healthy public sentiment, they 90 to
work to create that public sentiment and
keep it in health by act of Congress or
State statutes.
Thus it happens that we have any num-
Der of laws that never were and never
will be respected or obeyed-laws that
are either ignored or treated with undis-
guiscd contempt. Thus it happens that
our governmental mechanism is too cum
bersome, too costly, too complicated, too
uncertain and indirect in the operation
of many of its parts. Instead of the few
and simple laws that are needed we have
labyrinthinc masses of statutory wind.
ings and interwindings.
Congress will not have been in session
ten days before thousands of bills will
have been introduced. They will relate
to every conceivable subject, and not @
few of them will smack of lunacy. They
will propose the most startling changes
in the existing order of things. Gentle
men who are supposed to be statesmen in
their respective districts will present
measures of their own concoction which
will contain conclusive proof that they
know no more of the principles of gov
ernment, of political economy, of socia
order and the line between law anC
license than Comanche Indian knows o
Sanscrit or trigonometry.
But there is nothing in all this to de
press patriotic spirit. We have blum
dered in the past and shall blunder in tn,
future. Yet, as whole, the Republic il
advancing in all the eelementsof grcatnes!
and glory. Vicious or foolish laws dc
little harm, for they are generally con
temned and trodden under foot with i'm
punity.
