GRIEF FOR DEMOCRATS
Gerrymandgr No. , Rebuked by the
Supreme Court.

The second Democratic gerry
mander bin, conceived and tuacted
by the party managers to enable
them to control the legislature Ok
the state, last Tuesday received
practically its death blow at the
hands Of {he supreme court While
the justices do not, by this, formal y
annul the apportionment measure,
the order issued is the handwriting
on the wall that gives warning,
beyond doubt, of what the final
decision in the case will be. The
court in substance decides as fol-
lows,
/. The court has jurisdiction in
the case:
.. The demurrer of Senator
William f. Villas, interposed on
behalf of the Democratic party
managers, is oyerthrown.
3. 1t is held that Lamb, the
petitioner, may bring suit.
4. 1t is held that the bill of the
petitioner sets forth good and sufii.
cient grounds for action, practically
IA declaration that the gerrymander
act is illegal.
5. 1t gave the defenda Mt Demo.
craoy until Friday to make motion
for leave to file an answer to the
bill Of petitioners, if it is deemed
worth while to take such action.
6. 1t serves warning that unless
the defendant can show that the
facts set up in the bill of petitioner
are untrue, decision will be render,
ed declaring the second Democratic
apportionment act, like the first,
unconstitutional and void
The fact that Justice Winslow, .
Democrat appointed by the present
Democratic governor, was the only
justice that dissented from the
finding, ia calling forth considerable
comment.
Another extra session Of the leg
islature seems inevitable. This is
pretty good sample of Demo.
cratic retrenchment and reform.
With each succeeding word from
the lips of Chief Justice Lyon,
while reading the order, Senator
Villas grew more and more the
picture Of despair. He was finding
ont that argument, not oratory and
buncombe, is what has weight.

in any other business. The follow.
ing is a brief description Of Mon
golian newspaper, published in one
Of our large cities: II is written
with camels hair pencil upon YER
million paper and is posted on
walls and telegraph poles. All day
long it is read and studied by
almoud.eyed crowds. Even in the
evening belated lauudryman can
be seen running his eyes over its
tea-ohest characters. The editors
are called scribes and write 1t the
order of their customers, charging
a good figure for their skill and
brush. The favorite editor is said
to make as high as $50 a day
Besides his editorial work he writes
cards and prayer tickets for his
customers. One feature Of this
journal is commendable. If one
Of their members is thrown out OF
employment, he puts up a notice
and assistance is given him by
every member.
