Negletting the Law.

Attorney General Cassidy has taken
the sinking fund commission into
court on a demand that it shall be re-
quired to comply with the law requiring
the investment of the state funds in
interest bearing securities Of the gov
eminent. At present the state treasurer
gets the benefit of this interest for him
self and his party, the shallow excuse
under which the law is evaded being
that the immediate investment of all the
moneys would be injudiciOus, and would
unduly raise the market price of the
bonds to be bought. But even if this
was so the commission has no
discretion in the matter under the
law, which makes its commands
In positive terms. 1t is a matter
of course that the court will compel
them to do what they are hidden to do
aud they in fact have rendered them
selves individually liable, also, for
any loss the state may suffer by their
failure to promptly execute the law. The
people will note the reluctance of the
Republican party's representatives in
the state officers as well as the state
Senate, to obey the law and it will not
be well for the party.

ly ponder as the day draws near when it
becomes necessary to choose between
the two parties. Those who go down
into the mine, exposed to the deadly fire
damp and countless other lis, as well as
those who labor in the forge and ma

representation in the legislative halls
than perhaps any other class OF citizens.
Conhicls are constantly arising between
these horny handed toilers and the
capital that employs them, and If labor
cannot have its representative voice, it
becomes an undlsciplined mob, at the
mercy of its stronger and craftier oppo
nent, 1t is, therefore, the duty Of the
laboring classes, who are denied their
Just rights, to rebuke the arrogant at.

fear the growing influence Of this ele-
meat of the population to deny them
that to which they are constitutionally
entitled.

has long enjoyed among her sister states.
The great coal and iron manufacturing
