Governor Waite on the 10th issued an order
removing Messrs. f. A. Bayuolds, Charles
Boettcher and /. d. Chamberlain from the po-
sition Of pcnItentiary commissioners.
The specific charges against Commissioners
Reynolds and Bocttcher are the appointment
OF W. II. Loar, detective for the pcnten,iary
aud reformatory at a salary OF $50 a month
from each Institution, and for paro!lng Prls-
oncrs from the pcnitcniiary TO the rcfouna-
tory. Commissioner Chamberlain was not
charged with participation in the Loar tusi-
ness, as he was not a member OF the board
when Loar was appointed a detective.
Whether the commissioners Will obey the
order to retire admits of very grave doubt, ne
cording to statements credited 10 them dur
Ing the investigation. They rest their claim
to the legality of their procedure in parol!ng
prisoners from the penltentlary to the re-
formatory on an opinion rendered by ex-At-
torncy- General Maupin. This opinion the
governor refuses 10 recognize.

ArRoros of the attempt of Coke

ApRoPos Of the attempt Of Coxey
to petition Congress, is the opinion ex-
pressed by Judge Cooley recently in a
lecture before the Ann Arbor law
school. He is reported to have de-
MED the right of American citizens to
petition Congress, or their representa-
,ives, in person, as the Coxey armies
seek to do, He said that where, as in
ancient Greece, the people as a mass
made the laws, the case was different;
but our system of law making is rep
resentative system; and after the citi-
zen has chosen his representatives,
there is no power left to him whereby
he can coerce those representatives in
to certain lines of action.
