WISDOM OF THE COURT.

The action taken by the supreme court
yesterday in granting leave for the com-
mencement of proceedings to determine
whether the existing act apportioning the
state into legislative districts is eonstitu
tional or no., demonstrates the fact that
the vital lmporta1 CO of an early DIT termi-
nation of that question is fully appreciated
by that tribunal Its order in the prem.
ises is, however, neither more no less than
what the public expected
The possible embarrassments which
might readily ensue as a result of any
needless delay at this juncture are too
obvious to require mention 1t is enough
to fleet, however, that an emergency is
easily conceivable wherein the state would
be without 4 valid legislature and destitute
OF Lawful lm,ans fer the election of enc Such
an alarming possibility is only avertibIe
by just such wise ordering as the supreme
court has made
1t Is not now a question Of "parties or
politics, As the New York Herald re-
marks in view of the similar situation
existing in the Empire state. The appor-
tionment act is attacked, and, above
every other consideration, the warra at for
that attack, or the lack of It, must be
ascertained, and that at once. If the law
Is or is not in violation of the constltu-
ion the people want to know it in order
that no cloud may hover over the affairs
OF the future.
1t Is of small moment in whose name the
action is brought, but an important and
gratifying circumstance in yests rday's
proceedings is that tne court SO neouiyo-
caliy recognized the right of the ordinary
citizen to obtain hearing before it, even
though the law fhcer of the state, through
Whom his particular appeal would natur-
ally be made, ntgleots or declines to / # ord
him the privilege which is in his power to
grant. In this instance the attorney
gel erals plea for delay was accom-
panied by an argument which
indicated his disbelief in the theory
that it was his duty to tffcially become a
party to the suit. If be continues to feel
that way he should certainly refuse to
participate. He must lie his own inter
prefer Of his duty The court cannot,
however, be il fuereed to irac.ion by his
views on the subject, ncr can the citizen
petitioner be denied recourse to the courts
by his disinclination to espe cially interest
himself in his cause. The plea for
delay by the attorney general was treated
hy the conrt with great consideration in
view OF the urgency for haste in the mat
ter.
The action of the court very happily
auguIs speedy hearing of the case and
settlement of the great question in
yolved in ample season to forbid the
evolution of any embarrassing Legislative
complications.

KICK ON THE MANAGEMENT t.
New South Wales is Sore on the Worlds
Fair Officials

New south Wales is Sore on the World g
Fair Officials
New York, Aug, 6-Sir George Dibbs,
premier Of New South Wales, arrived here
today, and feels bitter towards the man
age1nent of the worlds fair.
According to him the exhibit of New
South Wales, which Is almost the
only one English colony that
intends to exhibit, promises to be fail
ure. He said the Chicago manager sent
out an agent promising anything wanted
in the way of accommodations. "After
we had committed ourselves and spent
about 100000" said he, "they told
us the agent was without
authority and that we could not have
space at all adequate to our wants.
1.-The result will be that it will practical
ly ruin our exhibit. Our exhibit will be
largely In raw materials.
The trouble is they are Ike American raw
materials and will make no particular
showing separately. 1--WE wanted
to make our exhibit en- bloc. To
classify it will only be to
weaken it. We wanted a collective
exhibit; but the fair arrangements do not
allow of focusing, and without that can
not see what advantage there is in the
colony's exhibiting at all.
eff we had learned at first what we
have since learned, we would not have ex-
hiDited at all. We have gone too far to
go out now"

PRESIDENT LoUCKs, of South Dakota,
who holds the place of Mr.. Polk, deceased,
as the head of the farmers alliance Of the
United States, is most enthusiastic over
the prospects Of the peoples party ticket
in this campaign. He says the votes
which will be cast for Gen. Weaver In
November will astoniSh the world He is
of the opinion that there will be no choice
of president by the people at the coming
election, and that conse quently the house
of representatives will have to choose a
president, leaving the vice presi-
dent to be elected by the senate.
He is confident that the alliance
will carry sufficient number of
states to prevent either of the old parties
from obtaining majo rity in the electoral
college. The alliance leaders believe their
candidates will carry several southern
states, and are sure to carry Kansas, Colo
RADIO, the two Dakotas, Nevada, Montana,
Wisconsin and Minnesota. President
Loucks is little short of being lunatic if
he expects to accomplish all this. His
partyimay make something of showing in
Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and one
or two southern states, but when he says
it is sure to carry Wisconsin he is simply
talking through his hat. The people s
party will not poll 5000 votes in the en-
tire commonw eaith.

cannot be bad. They are liable to be

them to say and to do things that are

The Plutoeratic Candidates..

The proof is positive that the same
monopOlistic combine-headed by J.
j. Hill, president OF the Great North
ern Railway congratulated the
eli both AAleelsssoa and Law
ler. Both Minnesota's United States
-Washburn and Davis-op-
posed the nomination of Nelson, fear
ing that il he should be elected GOV
ernor, he would be a formidable can
didate for one of their seats; but the
plutocratic combine-organized to
control the state officers without re-
gard to party or politics-said that
Nelson's Norwegianism would draw
Scandinavian votes from the peoples
party among the farmers, by the
thousand, that the peoples party
was what they feared and were fight
ing, and that Nelson HAD to be nom
mated, and he was nominated. Mr..
Lawler had not been heard OF as a
democratic candidate for governor,
but the combine sent old Mike Doran
into the convention to say that Law
Ter had to be nominated, and there
upon he was nominated.
This is about the political situa-
ton in Minnesota, dished up in q
rough nutshell; and if the Scandina-
Wan farmers want to vote for g. man

tions, a Mckinley tariff advocate
and defender, u railroad attorney, a
man whose nomination was dictated
