OsE thing Is sufficiently disclosed
from the discussions which have
taken place in the press Of the State,
and from the memorial OF the bar Of
San Francisco and other sources, and
that is that there is such decided
opposition to the remodeling Of the
Supreme Court at this time that that
event is very unlikely TO happen. 1t
Ia to be regretted that a measure Of
great public utility like this should
be complicated by the appearance OF
seeking vengeance for single de.
cision OF the Court. II has certainly
an indecorous look TO punish a court
Of last resort for iis views on any sub
ject; but the truth is that, standing
alone, the reorganization Of this tri-
bunsl would be a highly desirable
thing; and, under other circumstan-
cos, II would probably receive the
hearty endorsement Of the masses.
Where II Is made to look like pun
ishment for any particular judicial
act, however, sympathy is naturally
created for the judges. The fact Is.
that, in code State, II was
great mistake to adopt the Eng
lish common law where applicable"
In the organic law, and there is
great deal OF nonsense about the
sanctity Of courts, besides. Those
bodies are to-day invested with a
great deal Of the awe, In q republic.
which surrounded them when they
were the direct representatives Of
kings and emperors. II Is right that
they should be hemmed around with
respect and veneration, but these
tributes ought TO spring from the
great abilities, the learning and the
high personal character Of the judges
themselves. The old English ideas
about the sanctity and inviolability Of
judges are as obsolete as the curfew
regulations OF the first Norman con-
querors Of the right little, tight little
isle. Mankind have outgrown their
reverence for gowns and wigs, at least
In republican countries, and the peo-
pie have q right to remodel the ju-
dietary as often as they deem proper.
Nevertheless, the indications point to
the dropping Of this part of the pro-
gramme Of the special session, and II
is doubtless better that its labors
should be confined to the single mat
YER Of irrigation, and that in its
form. The attainable ought
10 be pursued diligently and an early |
secured.

separating his knee cap. He went to

friend he came to this city and was
treated by DIR. Wise. On June 10th an
operation was performed on the knee
and the ligament that had formed be-

cut bringing the cap together. 1t was
held firmly for some time with silver
wires and the patient rapidly recovered
the use of his limb. he is now as well

The Evening Express desires the
HERALD to indicate its views as to
what would be desirable scheme Of
organic law on irrigation. We can
do this without any difficulty and
very briefly. II all that is accom-
plished at the present extra session
should be comprised in q constitu-
tional amendment running that, in all
cases where irrigators' rights are in
question, the laws Of Spain, France
and Mexico should be the rule where
apIlica BILE, the session would have
been fruitful in good results, and
would have been worth far more than
it's cost. The general understanding
is that a majority Of both houses is
pledged to the scheme OF the lrriga-
ton Committee. II this is 30 we
suppose it will be carried out in spirit.
We have no hesitation in saying Ii at
the Committees plan ought to be
materially modified. Water rates
ought to be fixed every year, and six
per cent net on the actual capital in
vested ought to be ample. In adj

DAY DISPATCHES.

WARRINGTON, July 24.-Mr. Miller
G Commissioner of Internal Revenue, said
to-day that he did not think the enforce
ment Of the provisions Of the Oleomar-
gerine bill should It become law) would
increase the expenses Of his bureau very
much. He estimates that $50, 900 will
cover all the expenses of collections fer
the first year, which collections, he
thought, would aggregate about $780,
900. He did not think 500, 900, 900 was
an excessive estimate Of the annual pro-
duotion of oleomargarine, and was OF
the opinion that the production will in
crease from this time on. The action of
Congress is an acknowledgment that
oleomargarine is not injurious to pub
lilo health, and will put the article on
the market in large quantities.

AARON A. SARGENT has shown great
good sense in changing his mind
about being elected Senator in place
Of George Hearst. To have permitted
himself TO DO made the catspaw of

would have undermined the whole
fabric Of his hopes. The public SEN
timent on this question of an attempt
TO turn out Hearst has been too I'M
mistakably disclosed to admit Of any
triAing with it bya man OF any stand
ing. The Legislature ought of right
10 get through with its work and adj
journ before the issue could be raised
BY the tricky Republican politicians.
Mr.. Hearst has at most but three or
four weeks to serve, and il is the
duty Of the next Legislature to elect 4
Senator both for what remains Of
Miller's unexpired term and for the
full term Of six years. Ex-Governor
Perkins expressed the enlightened
Republican opinion when he said
that no attempt should be made to
unseat Hearst. The people say amen |

An issue is being raised concerning
the extra session which the Governor
ought TO meet promptly. In his mes
sage to the Legislature he states that
he was induced to call that body to-
eether by a memorial signed by two
thirds Of its members. The Chroni-
ole and other Republican journals are
disposed to doubt the existence Of
this call. II is q thing that admits
Of very easy demonstration. Its
publication would at once and for
ever set at rest all doubts respecting
the matter. II would do more than
that It would place the signers on
their good behavior, expedite the
business Of the session and put the
responsibility where il belongs. In
this view Of the question its instant
publication would be good thing

dition, the right Of the Legislature TO
step in and make new laws remedial
Of abuses, no matter what system
shall be adopted, ought to be clearly
asserted in any constitutional amend
ments which may be submitted to
the people. Legislation embodying
such a plan could be put through in a
week II the legislators are in earnest,
and II would exactly meet the de-
mands of the hour.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 24.-Since re-
duction of telegraph rates east of Omaha
the Western Union lines between that
city and Chicago have been very much
crowded. This has led to the construo-
ton Of two new lines Of copper wire be-
tween Omaha and Chicago for the accom-
mediation OF California business and
principally for night press dispatches.
The work began few weeks ago and it
will be completed the coming fall. This
will secure more speedy transmission of
dispatches to this coast.
