AN INFAMOUS COURT.

II what is reported about the Supreme
Court of Nebraska IS true it is simply an
infamous political organization, ignorant
Of the first principles of constitutional
law. 1t is stated that one Chester Ncr-
ton end one J. G.. Kruse were opposing
candidates for the lower house of the
Legislature. A new county was not in
Guided in any representative district
created by the recent apportionment act
o. that State but the few scattering
voters in the county cast their votes for
Norton and the returns were sent to an
adjoining county named in the act as
belonging TO the Twentieth district. The
clerk of the adjoining county refused to
canvass the votes of this outside county
and Norton was defeated. He appealed
to the supreme court, which issued an
order to the county clerk commanding
him TO canvass the vote. He obeyed the
mandate and Norton went to the House
and took a seat. Kruse entered contest
and the House evicted Norton with but
little ceremony, giving the seat TO Kruse.
Now the supreme court threatens ven
geance and after the adjournment, it
will cause the arrest of all the members
of the House voting for Kruse and fine
them $500 each for contempt Of court
We would like to know upon what pre-
text this court proposes to interfere with
the organization Of the Legislature. 1t is
a settled principle of constitutional law.
and indeed a fundamental principle Of
our Republican form of Government, that
the Legislative, Judiciary and Executive
Departments Of Government are each
absolutely separate from and indepen-
dent OF each other and that each House
OF the Legislature shall be the sole judge
of the election. qualifications and eligi-
bility of it's members. The constitution OF
Nebraska itself. like that of all the other
States. distinctly asserts this principle,
declaring that leach House shall deter
mine the rules of its proceedings and be
the judge of the election, returns and
qualifications Of its members"
In the face Of this 1t is hard to see
what right the supreme court has to in
terfere. II it should attempt to do so
the House should impeach the judges,
send them to the Senate for trial, and
not only remove them, but disqualify
them from ever again holding an Office
of trust or responsibility in the State.

THE NEW YORK SUN AND TARIFF RE-

1t is much pleasanter, not to say more
prudent, to agree than to disagree with
the New York Sun. That able but err
ratio journal has recently done such sig
nal service for the success of the Demo-
cratic party that it is entitled to our
gratitude. but it departs from the prin-
ciples Of our party in its sneering and
cynical editorial of the 9th. arguing that
the Democratic party is going. as q mat
ter of course, to repeal all laws contain
ing in them the elements of protection,
for the reason that our National plat
form demands 1t. The Sun. which as is we'll
known is protective tariff paper, iron
ically recommends this course.
Now, we want to say to the Sun that we
hope and believe the Democratic party
will in due time and upon full considera-
ticn Of each case, repeal every act Of
Congress that contains the principle Of pro-
lection, and IL for no other reason, because
such acts are abuses of the power OF
taxation. They are not acts passed To
raise revenue. for which the power of
taxation is given to Congress, but TO give
one citizen an unfair advantage OF an
other. and this Is a betrayal of trust In a
government instead of faithful execution
Of 1t.
The Sun adds that the Democratic doc
trine forbids Congress to put sugar, tea
and coffee on the free list. 1t offers no
reason for such q conclusion. We should

like to see the process Of reasoning
which leads the Sun TO It. There is moth
ing In the power to lay taxes In order to
raise revenue that compels Congress TO
tax any subject from which revenue may
be derived. 1t is matter Of discretion IN
Congress to tax some subjects and to
omit others. We see no pertinency, there
fore, in the Suns sreer that Democrats
will, OF course. impose duties on tea,
sugar and coffee, and we hope that Con-
gross will make all these absolutely free.
Revenue duties should be imposed, as far
as possible. on those articles which are
Injuries. and those which are matters OF
necessity to the poor should be xcnpted
from taxation, and this is justice as well
as sound political economy.
