CONFLIorING 0pINToys.

The beautiful uncertainty of law was
shown on Tuesday by two decisions which
were made one in Davenport and one in
Muscatine, Iowa, and both of which relate to
the same precise issue, and each OF which is
exactly the reverse of the other.
In the Davenport case Judge Walter s.
Hayes-the same who two years ago pro-
nounced the prohibtory amendment uncon-
stitutional-on an agreed case brought be-
fore him, decided that justices of the peace
have no jurisdiction in prosecutions FOR VIC
lations of the prohibitory law, for the reason
that tho penalty for such violation may be
more than fine Of 500, and under the
constitution of Iowa, the powers of the jus
tices of the peace are limited to offenses IN
which the penalty does not exceed fine
OF 800. The judge thereupon held that
In all first offenses in selling liquor-the
penalty of which may be fine of exceeding
800, or Imprisonment in excess of thirty
days-the accused is entitled to the interven-
ton of grand jury before he can be held to
answer.
The decision of Judge Hayes seems
|AhAAAl III dCObIQ Win luS COuSululOu OA luO
State. That instrument says that "all OF
fences less than felony in which the punish
ment docs not exceed fine of $780, or i'm
prisonment for thirty days, shall be tried
Bnmmarily before justice of the peace or
blher officer authorized by law, on informa-
hon under oath without indictment, or the
Intervention of grand jury; and no person
shall be held to answer for any higher Grim
hal offence unless on presentment or in
dlctment Of grand jury"
As the prohibitory law not only permits q
Penalty in excess of this sum, and allows the
offender to be imprisoned till the fue is PAID.
h would seem that the prohibitory law has a
serious blow, and that in this particular re-
speet it is unconstitutional.
o the same day, on the same precise
facts, Judge Stutsmsu, in Museatine, rem
eered decision to the effect that the law is
constitutional, and sustained tue jurisdiction
81 the justices of the peace
What view Of such a result win be pre-
sented to the pubiel Here are two judicial
officials, who, on precisely the same issue,
reach reverse conclusions. Is it that the law
makers are so incapable that they cannot
construct Ineligible legislation, or that
judges are so blinded that they cannot inter
pref the meaning Of the laws presented for
their examination Or finally, is it the fact
that the judges are often mere creatures Of
sentiment, and that they constrne law with
reference to their own personal predilee-
uousi It is possible that all these faults are
involved. AS rule, legislators are selected

A FELLuW FEELING.

The New York Evangelist a religious paper
published in New York city, and which has
been brought into Mr.. Blaine's political
bureau, by purchase or otherwise, holds the
following language in an editorial in its
issue of July 81:
But we do not care to argue this matter, be-
cause we have shorter way to satisfy our
selves Our opinion of Mr. Blaine may be
worth nothing, the opinion of those who
have met him only in the society of Washington.
But surely there was one man who ought to
have known him through and through-Who was
with him for twenty years in Congress, at the
very time that all these charges were lnvestl-
gated, and who thought so little of them that
they did not impair his respect or his confidence
in the slightest degree. On the contrary, when
this man Gen. Garfield, was elected president OF
the United States, he chose Mr.. Blaine as his
confidential adviser He called him to the
first place in hts cabinet, thus giving the
highest possible proof of his mistaken trust. If
Gen Garfield had any doubt of his Integrity, he
was guilty of great wrong to his country IN
placing him in position of such responsibility.
His action speaks louder than words He did not
distrust Mr.. Blaine. He had not only admiration
for his splendid abilities, but the warmest per-
sOual regard for the man. Those who have seen
them together could not help seeing that the tie
which bound them to each other was not an or
diynar friendship, but strong personal attach
ment which implied absolute mutual trust
and confidence. OCould any testimony further
go? This single fact is enough to answer thou
and snecrs and suspicious. To all the attacks
upon Mr.. Blaine, his friends have one short but
sufficient answer-':What good enough for
President Garfield, is good enough for us
Can it be possible that the Christian editor
forgets the trite expression, "a fellow feeling
makes us wondrous kind" at the time
Blaine was manipulating the Fort Smith
railroad enterprise, writing Mulligan letters,
etc, ETC., Mr.. Garfield was undergoing in
vestigation in the matter Of the DeGolyer
pavement and credit mobilier. Mr.. Poland
was chairman Of the committee of investi-
cation, and if any doubt arises in regard to
the crookedness of Mr.. Garfield it will be
dispelled by careful perusal of the report
of the committee. The New York Tribune
declared that Garfield was a ruined man,
whose reputation for honesty and integrity
was forever blackened.
Democratic authority is not invoked to es-
tablish Garfeld's record. In these dark and
devious paths he met Blaine and they became
fast friends. 1t is not strange that fellow
feeling made. them bosom friends, and that
Blaine should be called to a confidential
place in his cabinet.

TscO More GOne.

The Northwestern league teams are rushing
into oblivion at such rapid rate that it is be-
coming question whether or not the organiza-
ton will not entirely peter out before the fall Of
the leaf. We clip the following from the Mil
yankee Sentinel:
A dispatch received late last night from Terre
Haute, Ind, announces the death of the Terre
Haute club. Most of the players are said to have
offers from other clubs in the Northwestern
league
Information was also received here yesterday
that the Peoria club would be disbanded day.
This makes four within the week. The Peoria
club was one of the strong leaders, and the town
was always regarded as a good one, but two
years Of base ball, with an expensive club, was
more than the place could stand, and it will join
Bay City, Saltwater, Terre Haute and Fort
Wayne. With the exception eff Milwaukee,
Minneapolis and ST. Paul, there is no town in
the Northwestern league that averages an at
tendance that will more than pay the SIS guar
antee to the visiting club. Grand Rapids, although
possessing a winning club, is veritable grave
yard to the base ball fraternity, while the saw
dust on the seats of the Muskegon grounds is
but rarely disturbed by spectators. 1t would be
good thing if the number of clubs could be
reduced to six, say Minneapolis, st. Paul, Sagi-
nav, Grand Rapids, Quincy and Milwaukee, and
thus finish the season. The games would be
closer, and consequently larger attendance
would be insured. A meeting of the Northwest
ern league will be held as soon as possible, and
The schedule again revised.

Wall Street Excited.

New YORK, Aug. 6.-Some startling disclos-
ures were made to-day in Wall street regarding
the affairs of the late j. Ogden Wotherspoon,
broker, 45 William street, who committed sui
eide June 25, last. 1t is said on March 25, last,
he purchased from the Queen Insurance com
pany a bill of exchange for $4,000
On the following day he returned and said GUS
toner for whom he purchased the bill desired
to convert it into two bills for $4,000
and $4,000 respectively. This
the company agreed to do, and the e6 900
bill delivered up with signatures
torn off showing it had been duly cancelled. 1t
lately has been discovered that the bill returned
was forged and the original bill had been hypoth-
ecated for $4,000. with a banking house in
Wall street, which will be the loser in the trans
action. 1t is also said the Hong Kong and
Shanghai banking corporations, few days be-
fore Wotherspoon's death, gave him a bill Of ex-
change for $4,000 to sell and he never accounted
for proceeds. Wotherspoon was well known in
financial circles and these disclosures of fraud is
the topic of widespread comment to-day in Wall
street.

Fire in the United States CanitoI.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Early this morning
fire was discovered by the police at the capitol in
large Office on the west side. It apparently had
been burning some time, for when the watchnen.
warned by the smell of burning paint, entered
the clerks Office and opened the closet door, the
flames burst forth fercely, and it took them half
an hour to get It under control. 1t WINS finally
extinguished without much damage Only the
fact that the closet had fire proof walls prevented
a disastrous con$agration. The watchmen say
if the fire had occurred in some OF the rooms on
the upper floor, the law library, for instance they
probably would not have been able to discover ii
until it was beyond control. The origin Of the
re is unknown. The closet was locked and
contained nothing but papers, members account
for stationery, which had been accommodating for
twenty years. The watchmen were Obliged TO
break the window to get into the clerks room.
