In the matter Of parliamentary oaths one
cannot fail TO contemplate with awe the long
test oath framed during the war, and which
reads much like blank form Of indictment,
by which the swcarco declares that he has
mover seeded, fought, or sympathized with,
hurrahed for, or sent money, food or tobacco
to any who had seeded or fought. This was
absolutely necessary while the war was rag
ing, for the reason that rebel sympathizcrs
abounded In the union states, and indeed
succeeded in olecting many of their candi-
dates to congress. But the absurdity of con-
tinping the test oath after tho war is best
demonstrated by tho admission of congress
to that effect in the adoption by law of tho
shorter oath to bo administered TO cx-con-
fedcratos. AS tho law now stands the oath to
protect the government against men who have
been in rebellion Is suspended as to all such
men, and is to be administered to those only to
whom it does not apply.
When an officer is elected or appointed who
was in the rebellion, he is to take an oath in
which no reference is made TO that unfortunate
unploasantncss. And so on tho fifth of March,
when the nowly-cloctcd senators nro sworn in,
Senators Hoar and Anthony must take tho
iron-clad oath, while Senators Harris and
Ransom will only rccite in the shorter cate
chism. Why should the test-oath law bocon-
tinuod when it is expressly waived by law in
tho cases of the very class to exclude which
IL was framed?

doubtedly become law before tho end of

by provinces, cbmmunes, private associations,
banking houses, and foreign Italian consuls
amount to 3,763,000 francs, and this sum will
be largely increased Tho American minis

THE New York Tribune has discovered that
the senate tariff proposition cannot be obnox-
ious to the constitutional provision giving tho
house of representatives exclusive power to
originate revenue bills, for the reason that
not the senate, but tho tariff commission
originated the measure, and the senate is
only pcrfcctng its details. This should settle
it. The house must be very fastidous if it
cannot allow revenue bill to be originated
by tariff commission, Strange nobody had
ever thought of this before.

Hon. A. D. LsAoN, in the Council
10 our mind made the correct propo-
sision when he proposed that she
Legislature appoint one lawyer from
each judicial district in the Territory
and one at large to revise the statutes
though as to their meeting with tho
judiciary committee and doing the
work within the next SIXTY days we
have our serious doubts Tho work
would certainly be hastily and very
imperfectly done. If such q com
mittee could be appointed and given
until next legislature to report their
revision and codification 3 good sub
stantial work might be looked fer.
The laws need revision even more
than they do codification-sone of
them needing to be revised quite
will take much time, research and
comparison, even by the best Of law
yers. The Territory eonnos afford to
partially do this matter and forever
continue to tinker up the business
afterwaeds. On the other hand, the
Knapp bill to have the Governor ap-
point q commission to meet at Tue
son and prepare code at a salary of
$4,000 to each member per year is a
long ways of. The Territory can do
the business at less cost than S32,-
600. From $4,000 to $4,000 would
be liberal. There is no necessity of
a commission coping Themselves up
together in Tucson or anywhere else.
Each member of the commission
ought to have special qualifications
for certain parts OF ths business
which should be set apart for his
special attention and on that he
could work at home In connection
with his other business. at least till
he had prepared crude draft OF his
ideas, when it might he proper for
him to confer fora time with ether
commissioners and then 60 back to
his office and finish up the work. 1t
would probably not be necessary for

off his ordinary business more than
six months in the two years which
he wsufd havs TO - She rsTk.
