The county court is to meet next
Monday. and we understand that il
there is a full bench the attorneys fer
the coal miners will again apply for the
appointment of q mine Inspector. Since
the last meeting of the court, when this
application was refused, We have read
the law carefully. 1t is not without OBJ
iections, indeed it is a bunglingly pre-
pared instrument, but still it commands
the county court to do a certain thing
1t says in section IL, 'the county court
is hereby authorized, and 1t
is hereby made ats duty to appoint an
inspector OF mines," &c. The law, in
as distinct terms as the language is ca
pable OF, makes it ttthe duty'' OF the
court to make the appointment. Now,
what is the %objectionP First, that the
law IS unconstitutional because it is a
local law. W. cannot see any force in
that objection because If there was any
St. Louis, Kansas City. and other muni-
opal corporations would be deprived OF
NEST OF the laws which protect them,
which are passed in general terms,
though they are special in thcir applica-
ton. Again; because the public is tax
ed in the interest of a private business.
This we believe to be a good objection
in equity, whatever it may prove consti-
tutionally. A hotel is forced to provide
safeguards against fire, but it pays for
them. So with a ship or boat. The in
spector of insurance is paid by l insurance
companies. justly. as everybody does
not insure; the tobacco inspector is paid
out of the tobacco, and the coal oil in
spector out of the coal oil. A coal IN
spector should. therefore, be paid out Of
the coal. as the majority of the people
in the county do not use coal, and are
in but a very slight degree interested in
1t. Still. there is an aspect OF the case
which is above a money consideration.
The county court is au executive body,
appointed to carry out laws. rather than
to define their constitutionallty. In the
interest OF the people II has the right, as
an individual would have, to resist
q law in order to test its constitutional
ty. But in this case would it not be
better to obey the law, and seek a reme-
dy through its amendment The rea-
son is this:-every day we read of most
h%eartrending accidents caused by the
parsinony of mine owners In not pro-
viding proper means OF ventilation and
escape. Our mines have been SINGULAR
~ fortunate so far, but who knows how
long they may be SO? We commend
all'economies OF the peoples money; but
if the court would appoint Mr.. Weedin.
who is a competent engineer, who is re-
spected by everybody, who IS the coun-
tvs engineer" and who would never
put in days just to charge for them,
We feel satisfied the county would
not object to paying out a few dollars
to investigate as to whether this
hard working class of people was labor
ing in danger or in safety. If the court
will not take some such middle ground
as this. We should advise the miners to
press theirs to the supreme court, in
order that they may be protected under
this law, or procure one which will pro-
tect them.

st. Louis News, March 2:-"With q
big white mark score n for tie demo-
cracy. Mr.. Baucus, the democratic can
didate for the New York state senate in
the eighteenth district. was yesterday
elected by a clear majority OF 500 to 800
votes. The district was previously rep
resented by the late Senator Wagner,
republican. who was killed in the Spuy-
ten Duyvel railroad collision, and who
was victorious IN the last election by a
majority OF 6.7S2 over his democratic
opponent. This gain of over 1000
votes IN a single one of the thirty-two
senatorial districts will do pretty well
for q starter. The party in New York
appears to be stronger than ever before

We are glad to learn from Col. John
Reid that the reported damage to the
Forest Park carp ponds was not so seri-
Gus as vas at first reported. Two OF
the five ponds were submerged by sur
face water, but 1t by no e folio VS.
that the carp were carried out, as it is
the habit OF the fish to hibernate dur
ing overflows or other great commotion
Ofthe waters IN which they are situated.
So 1t is hoped that even IN these two
ponds no loss occurred. None of the
ponds were washed out, and the other
three not above alluded to were almost
entirely uainiured. The state is to be
congratulated that in so unprecedented
q rain storm Its valuable stock of carp
was not lost.

1881, it is not continually operative, as
the past winter was very favorable ana
the numbers are now increasing rather
than diminishing. The third cause,
acting III conjunction with the w pre-
ceding, with q cumulative effect, is the
failure Of the last orr crop, the high
price Of feeding material, altogether pro
ducing an excitement in the market
that partakes of the nature Of panic,
such as EXISTS in all markets to-day and
threatens another era OF loss OF d
dencc, boarding and s~tagnation. There
are assumed causes assigned by unln-
formed writers which are baseless or
without appreciable weight. such as the
recent drowning of cattle III the
Mississippi. It is true there was some
local loss IN numbers but not in the
prospective beef supply Of the great mar
kets, Or appreciabEy in the home supply,
az beef il scarcely q product Of cotton
plantations. What of the future prices ?
1t is clear that a season OF
crops, and especially Il good corn crop,
would cause m immediate decline. If
another short crop is gathered prices
will continue TO be high. Already the
effect is seen in reduced consumption,
tending to an increase Of supply and re-
duction of rates. While prices cannot
continue to increas and cannot be per-
manently maintained under full har-
vests, it is probable that the low rates Of
il few years ago will not Q 0 prevail, ii
eycr. The general tendency throughout
the world Is toward a high rate Of meat
compared with grain and other annual
products

PRICES OF BEEF.

menced q rise which in three years ex-
cseded 40 per cent, the advance moving

ago. In butchers stock, the range has
been from 1915 to S4.25 i'll January, and
from $3.50 to So in June, the latter rate
being q reduction on May prices. The
cause Of this great advance, which has
occasioned some surprise among pre-
ducers and great CONSERVATION among
consumers, has been often asked Of late.
There are several. The expectation Of
extra beeyes, which commenced in 1877
and increased year by year. both as live
and dead meat, is an element, but does
not account for the spasmodic jumps iii
the rate of recent months. Another
cause Of equal or superior strength is the
great destruction of cattle Oh the plains,
in the parks and valleys of the Rocky
mountains III the winter of 1880-s1, by
cold and starvation, amid the drifts and
ssverities Of the unusual season. While
