one Of Wardner,a Fakes

One Of Jim Wardner'4 jokes has fur
nished an idea for novel theatrical en-
terprise that will soon be under way.
One day last December, Mr.. Wardner
and G.. w. Howard were lounging in "A
Spokane hotel with u party of Jim's boz
nanza friends. Jim Is never IA dead
head In entertaining group of con.
genial spirits. lie told them many
fabulous tales, among them of IA theat-
rical troupe which lac said he was about
10 form 10 play In Chicago during
the Worlds fair. In addition TO the
blood hounds and the jackasses, a
drawing feature of the company was
To- be Peter Jackson, the slugger, ia
impersonate the meek and longsufier-
ing hero Of the immortal story, and
Dickson In the role Of Lagree, the slave
driver. A realistic slugging match
between the sluggers was to be injected
into the plot OF the great moral drama.
All the old time honored features were
to be preserved-the pursuit Of Eliza
on the Ice by the blood hounds,
the slave auction block, Marks and
his jackass, the death of Eva In an at
mosphere Illuminated by red fire and
swarming with angels like humnling
birds around lilac bush. Like Col.
Sellers, he saw millions in II, aud di.
lated upon the scheme with as much
enthusiasm as though 1t had been IA
SLOGAN bonanza. He enlisted the inter
est Of his hearers, aud they talked IL
around town. The story spread aud
finally got into the papers. And now
we read that ParsOn Davis, well
known theatrical man, backed by the
Stockwell Theater Go. has taken up the
joke seriously and il carrying IL out.
He has signed both jackson and Dick
son, and the company will soon start
out on the road from San Francisco.

The Lac Frnnt na.n

What II known ~ the Chicago Lake
Front case, recently decided by the su-
preme court Of the United States, Ia
perhaps the most important law suit,
la point Of substantial results involved,
which has ever come before that tri-
bunal. The opinion extends the doc
trine laid dow Ia previous decisions OF
that court, that there are certain rights
of the people that legislatures are
bound to respect. In the earlier cases
II WIS held that these agencies Of gov
erBment cannot barter away tue public
health aud public morals. IL now de-
clares In the present case that there Is
"A point beyond which the people can
nOt, by their servants, he dispOsaessed
OF their title TO public property.
The Legislature of IillnOis granted
certain rights to the Illinois Central
Railroad company on certain condi-
tons. The company maintained that
the fuliillment Of these conditions
vested those rights IN the company in
( perpetuity, under the law Of contracts.
The legal position Of the company
under this elaim has seemed almost
! impregnable. The sanctity Of contracts
II rigidly upheld by the law, and the
Federal constitution provides that their
obligation sInil not be impaired. But
the court rules that the rights con.
veyed belonged to the people aud could
not be granted Ia perpeiuity tp n prl-
vaie party. These words are used;
"rhe state can no more abdicaie its
trust over property In which the whole
people are Interested
50 ~ to leave them entirely under the
use and cjntrol Of private parties
than IL can abdlcate It's police
powers.
The principle thus extended II one OF
great Importance. IL not only places
limit to the attainment Of private right
Ia public property, but measures the
extent o. injury state can suffer at tho
hantis Of lndscreet or venal legislaturea.

STATE CAPITOL GOSSIP
OLYMPIA, Feb. |, 1893

Oht WI ~ hNp' - ''""'
Everyone is expecting n change in
the senatorial contest Lefore the week
ends. The balloting today showed no
change. Fred Grant, the Bolivian
minister, recently disappeared and
everyone thought that he had gone to
Bolivia. He evidently forgot some-
thing, for he came back last evening.
Senator Van de Vanter, however, has
charge of Aliens campaign. 1t Is
understood that Governor McGraw has
expressed TO friend the opinion that
II is time for Allen 10 withdraw from
the contest. The talk about dark
horses is becoming fast and furious, but
thus far none have made their appear
ance. 1t is believed, however, that
there will be interesting developments
in the contest before the week ends. 1t
is quite possible that some means TO
compel Allen to return TO Washington,
ID. c., at once will he found. There
were several absentees at this morn
ing's session, as the snow made the
streets impossible, and it was next TO
impossible to get to the capitol. Sem
atOr Richards declares that the Allen
forces were never more demoralized
than they are at present, and predicts
that there will be break in the Allen
ranks very soon.

Fifth Ward, as candidates for the Of
fee Of School Commissioner from their

1t is scarcely necessary to refer to
them individually, as they are we'll
known business men of the city, and are
eminently qualified. They are repre-
sentative men and should receive a
hearty support. Without disparag-
ing the claims or qualifications Of 9TH
ers, whose names have been suggest
ed, we are safe in saying that they are
the peers Of any man or set ofmen who
can be found, and if elected, and they
will be elected if friends of education
do their duty, they will not only keep
the schools of the city up to their pres
ent high standard, but advance them
to the very front rank.
We hope to see full turnout on
election day and the gentlemen named
above triumphantly elected.
Remember, all qualified voters have
right to vote, and that the election
will be held at the Court House, on
Tuesday, November 7. 1898.
