To Suppress the Patriotic League,

PAErs, Feb. 2s.--The government
has decided 10 suppress the Patriotic

Deroulede, president of the Patriotic
League, and other members of that
organization, will be arrested and
prosecuted.
Deroulede and Deseutch, Laguerre
and Richard, members of the or
ganization, are charged with having,
by hostile acts, such as the signing of
the Atchinoif manifesto, exposed the
state 10 danger and to declaration of
war. The police to-day took posses
sion of the Office of the league De-
roulede declines 10 answer the charges
against him at present.
Suppression OF the Patriotic League
was decided upon at council held at
the Ely palace. Afterward Premier
Tirard, Constans, minister OF the in
terror, Theynet. minister of Justice.
had conference with the procureur-
general and project OF police, with a
view of taking concerted action.

The Copy of Virgil that Is Owned by
an Oregoniau.


Some time since the Posr-ISrELlr-
GEScER published an article concern
ing number of old volumes to be
found in the Seattle Y. II. c. A.
library. Reference was made to q
copy OF Virgil nearly 100 years old
owned by Mr.. ID. w Craig. of Salem.
Oregon. The Salem Statesman
reprints the article and adds: 1.-The
copy OF Virgil alluded to above was
printed In the year 1907, at Paris. 1t
contains the Bucoiics and Georges,
together with all the minor poems as
cribed To Nerkil--the name is spelled
as here given-with very extensive
commentary by Jodocus Badias
Aseensius. scholar of that age;
in fact, the text is not
twentieth part of the work. The
printed part of the page is seven
inches wide by ten long, with wide
margin for annotations. The COM
mentary is in Latin also. The type
used is plea for the text and long
primer for the commentary: the
printing is remarkably clear and beau
tiful, and the ink is as black and
glossy as though the impression were
made but yesterday, and the paper
is very white. Many abbrevia-
tons of words occur. ami hair
spaces are used throughout. and
where there are points no space nj all
follows them--the colon supplies the
place of the comma invariably. In
addition to the commentary, there is a
column on each side OF the page for
printed notes, half an inch wide, in
brewer type. The pages are not num-
bere,i, as as present, but each folio is.
that is. each leaf tfolium(is numbered.
so that, as there are a02 foiios. there
are 4ot pages, and thef is matter
enough in each page to an five or six
pages of an ordinary book at the pres
ent day-say 2500 pages for this

THE STATE CONSTITUTION.
Suggestions From CheEaIis County
Concerning the Judicial system

To TnR EprroR.-The people of

results, the people should try to frame,
at nrst, an instrument as nearly per

| suggest the following for consiaera-
ton and discussion, upon the cues
ton OF courts and one court officer.
Undoubtedly the Rev constitution
will provide for district and justices
courts, and IN addition thereto I would
suggest that said instrument also pro-
vide for county courts for each county.

tiers concerning their officirs duties.
while the criminal laws could be better
enforced, the county attorneys having
better facilities for learning al. the
case than under our present system OF
district attorneys.
By the system OF courts above sug-
gested much of the present drag in
business now experienced in counties
OF small population, and the larger
counties for that matter, would be en-
tirely done away with. and the ex-
pense in many cases largely reduced
from what the expenses would be un-
der our present plan: for SIS our courts
are now organized or with district
courts alone, TO obtain an Injunction
or restraining order the parties itig-
ant are often put 10 great expense TO
obtain the order in the first instance
on account of the great distance to the
chambers OF the district judge or place
in the district at which he may chance
TO be.
Give US then county courts that iiti-
giants may the more easily and rapidly
settle their disputes.
Give us county courts for convent
ence, and last bat MOI least. let Wash
ington be the first Pacific coast state
to adopt county attorneys instead of
district attorneys.
Mr.. Editor. we do not wish the read
ers OF this article 10 understand us as
being in favor of ENGRAVING in our
constitution all the duties OF the
county courts and county attorneys.
for this is the duty OF the legislature;
but we do want to be understood as
being in favor of constitution pro-
viding for county courts and county
attorneys, the clause or section so pro-
