GOES TO THE SUPREME COURT.
Judge Bookwalter Refuses to Decide the
Apportionmcnt Case.

Judge Bookwalter Refuses to Decide the
Apportionmcnt Case.
DANvIILE, Ills, May 2l.-Not more than
newspaper men were present in the circuit
court room when Judge Boodwalter began
his decision of the apportionment case.
The first ruling was one denying the re-
spondent the right of amended answer,
which ruling was reserved by the judge
during the trial Of the case. Judge Book
walter said that the question sought to
be raised were entirely new in this state,
and that until decided by the supreme
court all trial courts in Illinois will neces-
sarily be in doubt ms to what the law is in
regard thereto.
He continued as follows: THE courts,
and particularly trial courts, are cautious
and reluctant in deciding n statute passed
by the general assembly to be unconstitu-
tional; especially so when such statute in
wolves political questions, or where 1t Is of
very grave moment to the people. Our
supreme court certainly has the right,
power and authority to decided the ques-
tion involved in this suit if properly pre-
scented, and its decisions on such ques-
tions, If ever rendered will he the law of
this state, binding upon all alike and
upon every department of the govern
ment."
But the decision of n trial court did not
have the authority and force of law; such
decision merely assails II statute. ut also
should be borne in mind that coordinate
branch of the government-that is to say
the legislature-in passing the statute
decides in favor of its constitutionality.
The general assembly is presumed to have
done its duty and passed the statute in
view of the provisions of the constitution
in regard thereto and in accordance there
with, rs the legislature understood them,
I'm the view of the above considerations
and the showing made by the pleadings
herein, is this court justified in deciding
the statute in question unconstitutional
and in granting to the complainant the re-
lief prayed for in his bill OF complaint. and
could II do go without unwarrauted AS
sumption on its party 1t seems to this
court that it would not be justified III SO
doing" The complaint was therefore dis
missed, and the Republicans Immediately
asked an appeal to the supreme court,
which WAS granted.

King.
The tug made still another trial later.

saving crew in tow and dropped the boat
about II mile above the Shupe The life
savers finally reached the wrecked schooner

DECEMBER u
AFRAID OF TIE BALLOTS.

The Republican party OF Orm-
sby, the party that has for twenty
years ridden rough shod over
everything and everybody in the
country, now stands in u pitiaose
position as q party afraid-of-its-
ballots. If the Republican party
here was honest it would demand
q recount.
But instead OF doing this IT is
pulling every influence in line to
prevent the secrets OF the Second
Precinct ballot box being dragged
to the light of day, for the man
ayers know perfectly we'll that
the contents of the box, when
opened, will not bear the light.
The last election was purely a
case OF ground hog with them,
and they proposed TO win by fair
means or foul, and now that the
counted out candidates are on the
trail Of their rasculity, there Is
nothing left but to cast every pos
sible obstacle in the way of q re
count If they did not feel Ger
tain Of the disastrous result Il
them, OF a recount they woul'
not assume their present pitiab'
attitude of obstruction.
The plaintiffs in the case haV
presented q fair case, and havln:
been refused q recount IN tn
lower Courts have appealed it to
higher tribunal.
They proved that the ballot 90
was as pure as when 1t left IN
hands OF the Second Precinct III
spectors, and this very essentlt
point was not disputed by the dc
PENDANTS attorneys. In the cas-
of the legislative contestants II
same thing was admitted, a I
count refused and now the Legl
lature will be obliged TO count Il
ballots.
We call on the press OF the Sta
to keep the fact before the pub
that the Ormsby county Iepubl
cans, run by some OF the very m'
who four years ago deliberate
assisted in counting out the pc
ple in the Constitutional vote, u
now fighting a recount inC rms
in order to seat men who do L
represent this county IN the SIN
question.
They have plenty of money
their command, and boast ii
the Silver men of Ormscy h
none. While not disputing
serious charge 7 poverty, II
will find that the Silver men
this county will be right on d.
with all the expenses necessary
fight this case to tinish.

ATTACKING THE INCOME
TAX.

New York bankers have &c
clared war against the income
tax. The first attack on the act
was made in the Supreme Court
OF the District Of Columbia last
Saturday. Jeremiah Wilson,
counsel for a New York banking
firm, applied for an order to re-
strain John S. Miller Commits
sioner Of Internal Revenue, from
assessing and collecting the TAX
upon the income OF IA member oil
the firm. The members OF the
Cold Trust. the Oil Trust, the
Sugar Trust and the thousand

hers are multi-millionaIres ana
whose incomes amount TO hum
dreds of thousands, think they
should not pay any more TO sup
mort the Government, which lol
wears has been lcgisiatinS mos
exclusively for their benefit
than the people they have beer

few years ago was comparatlVei.
