supreme court of Pennsylvania in re-
Installing the Public Buildings Commits
sion which has been dilly-dallying so
long over the erection of that Broad
and Market streets plea structure
begun, we believe, sometime during the
civil war, II not earlier. Growing very
tired Of this commission, which, like the
Jarndyce case, seemed fated to endure
until the last available and procurable
penny had been exhausted, the Legis.
lature passed an act abolishing it and
handing the completion of the building
over to the city government The people
had barely time to congratulate them
selves that the big marble palace which
had been dragging along through gen
Grafton or two was really to be finished
at last, before the supreme court granted
an injunction restraining the mayor and
director of public works from taking
charge and putting that everlasting old
commission back in control. The court
gave no reason for granting an injunc-
ton which practically invalidates, at
least for the time being, an act Of Legis-
lature, which was drawn with due care,
which represented the will Of the tax
payers concerned and which abolished a
creature of the Legislature. A bad feat
ure of the business is the charge pre-
ferred by the press that one of the
majority judges was personally inter
ested in the retention of the commission.
Tho Inquirer says:
The people have right to know why
this thing has been done. The court has
not handed down an opinion, and the
i people arc in the dark. One of the justices
Of this same court virtually became a
lobbyist against the passage Of the bill
abolishing the commission. Failing in his
effort to secure the power to the COM
mission by the defeat of the bill, he sits
upon the bench in Judgment and lends his
vote to the retention of the commission.
| BY what right did he do this? Can he
expect to gain the plaudits of the public
by such actions? And are such actions to
go unquestioned? By vote of four to
three the commission is retained. The
Judge who had sought to influence mem.
bers of the Legislature thus decides
the issue. In his absence the court would
have divided evenly.
What can be done about it2 That re,
mains to be seen. Meanwhile it is Of the
highest importance that the reasons Of the
court for taking this extraordinary atti
tude should he spread before the public in
order that the publici may learn upon
what trivial techniealities they are shorn
Of their rights. The opportunity is pre-
scented for a reargument, AS the decision Of
the court is upon an injunction. Counse
may have agreed among themselves TO nc
cept the decision as final, but that agree
ment, II such were made. is not binding
for there is no record of it. The people
demand to know the reasons. A full ar
gument will necessitate the filing Of tn,
reasons by the court. Let us have then
by all means.
The jury of the people is sitting in judg
ment 1t is the highest jury known q
civilization. 1t is not only jury but judge
| as well. and it overturns men and evel
judges when 1t has cause to believe that it
rights are infringed.

american Industries finds the govern
ment printing office in bad way and
suggests strange remedy, viz: That a
public printer be appointed tempo
rarily, say for three months, whose duty
it shall be TO clean out the office and
place 1t on a business footing, so that
the incoming permanently appointed
public printer will find clean house,
freed from corruption, and SO that he
may have no excuse for turning listen
ing ear to incompetent political favor
ties. 1t would occur to most people that
the temporary appointee who should
demonstrate such ability and zeal in
the preparatory work of which Ameri-
can industries speaks would be exactly
the man to retain in Office after that
work had been done, Leading up to its
suggestion american Industries says
1.-The public printer should be, and
doubtless will be, when appointed, a
man Of spotless reputation and one who
can be relied upon to run the govern
ment printing office on purely business
principles. AS that Office is at present
conducted, it is disgrace to the people.
1t is filled with the favorites of polite
ians, regardless Of their fitness for the
work to which they are assigned, and
the wilful waste and extravaganza
which seems to be considered as neces
sary part of the public printers admin,
istration, is nothing but sheer robbery
Of the people and places heavy and
entirely unnecessary burden on the
shoulders of the taxpayers"

1t appears that there has been "silver
conspiracy" but, instead of Great
Britain, India, and other nations being
pitted therein against the mine owners
of Colorado and Nevada, the conspira-
tors have been Spectators in silver
bullion who have banded together to
compel the government to pay in excess
of the market rates for its monthly pur-
chases of bullion. The conspiracy has
fallen fiat, for the reason that there is a
man at the head Of the Treasury De-
partment who will not be bled by the
spectators. The department has simply
taken the little bullion offering outside
the combination at legitimate market
rates, which has been thus far only a
small part of the monthly quota OF
4,5oo, 900 ounces prescribed in the Sher-
man act. AS the month draws to close
and the conspirators realize that the
government means to stand its ground,
ID is exceedingly probable that they will
come down. If not, they viii get left
and the public verdict will eoi .Seryed
