ness of life? 1t would be mercy if
the capacious milk pail we call our
judiciary system, could be kicked over
and the tactical spilled on the ground,
and men left to get away with their
private grievances as they can. A
criminal court would be required in
order to deal sharply with those who
quarrel and fight in doing so, and also
a mortuary court with its docket of
dead estates. We throw out these
suggestions more than half believing
that men would grow into better
morals, would be more just in their
transactions together, while it is GER
tain that such emergency would impose
exemplary conduct in business. What
blessing it would be in all commune
ties to be rid of litigation and lawyers;
to put an end too, to Incorporating by
special charter, or by other than gener-
al laws under which the industries
might be organized in corporate bodies
with no privileges, but the right of

two-thirds. 1t is by legislation solely
that this conjuring to the workingman's

Washington, February 90. The
grand jury, as the result of weeks of
inquiry, has sent down to the district
attorney indictments against twelve
persons for conspiracy in the star route

A STOCK OF REFORM.

The abuse of too much government,
like an importunatc ghost, takes every
shape and haunts us at every turn. We
are waiting hopefully for the promised
Joint resolution from the judiciary COM
mttee of the house to amend the
United States constitution SO as to
take from congress its private calender
and leave the country with only Its
own proper legislation on its hands.
we are waiting prayerfully for the re-
lection by congress of the applications
of the place-seekers from Dakota to
be admitted, as a state, into the union,
with no more inhabitants than would
stock a constituency for member of
the house of representatives. Seven
tenths of the time and labor of every
congress is occupied with private bills,
and nine-tenths of the legislation OF
general importance fails for want OF
the necessary time to give it attention.
While in respect to other matter, almost
a sixth of the United States senate IS
composed of members, two of whom
do not represent larger number OF
inhabitants than a moderately small
city.
We have lately seen strikingly illus
trated the beauties of the government
employing itself in the collection of
insignificant private claims of indlvld-
uals, in some instances where they
were unfounded. A conspicuous case
was that of New Hampshire man
named Luther. He paid into the
treasury in 1870 the sum of SIS to an
swer for pair of steers, which he
claimed had been wrongfully seized. 1t
turned out they were SO, and the law
gave him year to go to the treasury
and get back his money. This he
failed to do and hence lost his claim
by his own neglect. He then got the
government chicken to hatch his egg.
A bill was passed through one house
Of the 45th congress and lost in COM
mittee of the other for want of time.
was again offered and passed through
one house of the 46th congress being.
as before too late to get through. 1t
is now pending in the present congress
and up to this time it has cost the
government many thousands of dollars
to try and get from the treasury SIS
for Mr.. Luther, which he is without
right to receive, or the government to
to pay. This is one instance of thou
sands in every congress. The absurd
ity of this is no more apparent than
the enormous wrong it entails upon
the country.
Why is it not equally wrongful and
absurd for the government to run 4

The Digger !rd;aI..;.

When California was first invaded by
the crowd Of gold diggers in lS4o, be-
yond the few thousands who had collect
ed round the Spanish missions in Lower
California, and were in state Of the
most abject subjection to their priests,
there must have roamed over the wide
region. more than one hundred thousand
Indians, living in state Of freedom and
of nature as complete ns the elk, antelope
or sage rabbit, which furnished their then
by no means precarious livelihood. A
head-dress of feathers, with scanty coat
OF paint on his face, was the full dress OF

suspended from her waist furnished a
complete wardrobe for his squnw. To

- Georgia editors should hold caucus
and come to some definite. clear under
standing in regard to Hon. Alexander III.
Stephens and bis future course. Just
now there is decided difference of opin-
ion on a simple question of fact which
ought to be easily settled. Tho Atlanta
Constitution declares, "upon the most
perfect authority" that Mr. Stephens
will retire from politics at tba close of
his'present term in Congress, and says
that he Is "thoroughly, profoundly in
sympathy with the Democratic party in
Georgia in its fight against tho Liberals,
Coalitionists, or whatever the opposition
may be called" And the large number
of country papers that draw their inspi-
ration from the C6nstifutioR give the
statement wide circulation. On the
Cher hand, the Atlanta P0st-Appeoy as
serts positively that Mr.. Stephens is in
full sympathy with the Liberal move
ment and is ready TO lend his name and
influence for its success. "He will be
elected Governor this fall" says the
Rost.Appeal, Sand, furthermore, Mr..
Stephens win serve" Rarely If ever
has public mans position and plans
been so curiously misunderstood by any
faction as in this Instance. Which side
is right in the present controversy is
yet TO be determined. Dir. Stephens

WHAT "WIrE" MEANs.-Says Ruskin
What do you think the beautiful word
wife comes Flon? 1t is the great word
in which tlo English ana Latin Ian
guages conquered the French and Greek
l hope the French will some day get a
word for it instead of that femme. What
do you think it came from? The great
value of the Saxon words is that they
mean something. Wife means weaver
You must either be house wives or house
moths, remember that. In the deep sense
you must either weave mems fortunes and
embroider them, or feed upon and bring
them to decay. Wherever true wife
comes home is always around her. The
stars may be over her head, the glow
worm in the nights cold grass may be
the fire at her feet, but home is where
she is, and for noble woman it stretches
far around her, better than houscs ceilcd
with cedar or painted with vermilion-
shedding its quiet light for those who
else are homeless. This, believe, is the
woman's true place and power.
