THE INSPIRATIONS OF THE COURTS.

among other things, respecting the
truthfulness of the charge made by
Populists of the usurpatiOn of power
by the Federal courts. In answer to
this question he said:
The courts have no more power than they
had under the frBt years Of Che constitution
in most respects. The acts Of 1867 and 1875
enabled man TO sue his creditor wherever
found and made some changes, but in gem
ersl the powers have not been enlarged.
The change is in the great increase in the
volume Of business and subsequent enlarge
ment Of the corporations handling the same.
Formerly we never had such great trans
pOrtAtiUn companies HSthe Santa 30 system,
with its 1900 miles Of railway tracks. Re-
OeivershipS were just the same, but the
amount Of property handled was much less.
The courts do not fnd the EeOeiVsrships Of
railroads very pleasant task. Why, when
the Santa Fe company was placed in the
hands Of receivers, wrote 10 Judge Cald-
well and congratulated him ugon having
the work in his charge, at Che same time as
suEing HIM that did mot intend TO come
out aud handle ID in any way. There is
simply an increased amount Of work and
much vexation 30 Judge in taking care Of
property placed in the hands Of the courts
in this manner, and they are not anxious 10
assume the burden.
Il is undoubtedly true, as Judge
Brewer observes, that the courts have
no more power nndsr the constitu-
tion and the laws than they had dur
ing the early years Of the republic,
bat this does not answer the question
propounded to the Judge. He was
asked concerning the usurpation of
powers that do not belong to the
Judiciary, not concerning the legal or
constitutional enlargement Of those
powers; and this question he is care.
ful not answer. The po Werg exer-
cissd by the federal courts today
would no. have been thought of q
few years ago, and it sttem pied
would not have been toler ated. Il is
only by encrOsChments that have been
so gradual as to be almost imper.
Ceptible in their successive steps that
the people have been sChoolsd TO SUBJ
mlssion until there iS scarcely a safe
guard Of constitutional liberty that
has not been set aside. The courts |
today are supreme, and their despot-
ism is equal to that of the star
chamber in the days of the early |
English sovereigns.
Neither the constitution or the laws
empower the federal courts to order
the arrest Of American citizens with
out warrant duly and legally issued,
but they do it nevertheless. Neither
the constitution or laws empower the
courts TO re.enRct the penal laws of
the general government or of the
states in judicial lnjunNtions under
which arbitrary arrests are made for
contempt Of the courts, but these
things are done at the beheet of COR

hesitation. Neither the constitution
or the laws empower the courts to
