ton the fact that it would he pro-
ductive of wrong upon individual
rights. The senator from Harris lays
down the proposition that the repeal
of the law is not necessary and that
if it was it is not expedient to repeal
it at this time, and in support of his
proposition refers to article III of the
constitution, that divides the govern
eminent into three distinct depart
ments, viz: the legislative, executive
and judicial, and asserts that the re-
peal of this law will make these de-
partments dependent upon each
other when it is the express will of
the constitution that they shall
be independent of each other"
l am glad that the senator
called attention to that article
of the constitution. The legislative
department makes the laws; the exec
utive department executes the laws;
the judicial department CONSTITUTES the
laws. If, as the gentleman says,
these departments should be entirely
independent of each other, what is the
use of a judicial department. If this
proposition is true let US do away
with all of our courts, and leave the

department. understand the con-

department of the government the
power to execute the laws; but, ii in
their discretionary powers they do any
act not required or allowed by law, OF

the humblest citizen in the land, that
the Judicial power of the state can bt

I'VE Never Threaten

Mrs. Cotton, the widow Of the
late d. D. Cotton, one of the Cen
trail Pacific msgaates. has brought
against Leland Stanford for s. .O0O,-

the witnesses examined is Charles
Croker, also q railroad magnate.
When asked if he had attempted to
intimidate Mrs. Cotton he indig-
nantly replied: "We never threaten
anybody, Of course not. If any
one ever dares to denounce the
railroad extortions the railroad
company finds out how it can tar
him down in business by either
raising his rates, delaying his goods
or giving a business rival special
rates so that he can be underso j.
There is little need for threatening
Merchants know how they are
treated and they dare not testify. SO
it becomes impossible to get ia IT'S

not threaten. It knows how to gain
its end more satisfactorily and eff
