A Dangerous Proceeding.

There is case now pending in the
courts OF Illinois which illustrates, or
ought TO be accepted as illustrating, the
Importance OF that provision of various
state constitutions which Is intended to
keep the legislative executive and Judi
cial departments OF the government sepa.
rate and distinct. IL In an attempt Of the
Republicans to overtnrn the districting OF
that State for the election OF members OF
the Legislature. which districting took
place in 1893 The aid Of Republican
courts ana Republican clerks is invoked
In order TO render this scheme success-
full. The ground upon which this inter
ference with a lawful redlstricting OF the
State IL attempted to be based is the
averment that the Democrats did not
district the State In 1893 In the manner
prescribed by the State Consultation, which
provides that the legislative districts shall
BE of compact and contiguous terri
tory"
But II corrupt and unprlncipled Judges
can be found In Illinois ready 10 do ouch
work az that We have mentioned. the
whole fabric OF the government IN that
State may tumble down. The last pre-
vious reapportlonment OF representation
in Illinois, or redistricting Of the State
for the election of members Of the Legis-
lature, was done IN 1882 by the Republi-
cans, and the Republicans claim that II
the redistricting OF 1893 be set aside the
law of 1882 and the redistricting of 1882
VIII again become the law Of the land.
In word the Republicans claim that
their redistricting of 1882 Will be revived
despite the fact that in that case, also,
the legislative districts were not made Of
compact and contiguous territory"
What Is sauce for the goose is not to
be sauce for the gander II the wicked
designs OF the Republicans OF Illinois
can be successfully carried out.
If the redistrlcting OF a State fo- the
election of members OF a State Legisla-
ture may thus. years after 1t is done. be
declared an unconstitutional proceeding,
II Is clear that a redistrlcting of State
for the election OF members OF the lower
house OF Congress might in like manner
be set aside. II the State Judges can
pronounce redistricting for the election
OF members of State Legislature an
unconstitutional proceeding and can set
aside that redistricting It would seem
to follow that a Federal Court could pro-
nounce unconstitutional a law redistrict-
ing the State for the election OF mem
beers of the lower house OF Congress
State constitutions provide that each
house of the Legislature shall be the
judge of the elections, qualifications, and
returns of its own members. just as the
Federal Constitution provides that each
house Of Congress shall be the Judge OF
the elections. qualifications. and returns
Of its own members.
In fact, IL this Illinois scheme be car
ried out. the consequences must neces-
sarily be far-reaching. The courts may
as well assume control Of the legislative
department of the government. How IL
the act of 1852 should also be pronounced
unconstitutional? But enough.

CRIPPLE CREEK EXCITED.
A Deputy Sheriff and Miner Killed
Troops Ordered Out

Troops Ordered Out
DENVER. COL, May 26-The exciting
scenes of to-day in Cripple Creek re-
suited In the death OF two men, William
Ribeau. a deputy sheriff, who had some
weeks ago been driven out of the camp by
the miners, who held a grudge against him
for his pernicous activity and blustor, and
George Crawley, a well-known miner.
Several more miners were injured, but
as they have been carried into the strong
hold on Bull Mountain, their injuries can
not be learned. The result of the re-
ports OF the day determined Governor
Waite at shutdown TO call out the entire
militia Of the State. including the Chaffee
Light Artillery, with their Calling guns
and smooth bores. They are ordered to
start as soon as the trains can be pre-
pared. and they will 20 via Florence. The
militia will be directed by Adjutant- Gene
raj Tarsney In the absence of Brigadier-
General Brooks from the State. Captain
Kinkaid OF the Chaffee Artillery, went
down to Colorado Springs yesterday to
serve the cannon sent out by the Sheriff
of FL Paso county, and he has been re-
lieved from duty with the Chaffee Artillery
accordingly.
A meeting of the captains of the First
Regiment is called at the armory. and II
is rumored that they will consider the
propriety Of declining to obey the order
10 30 out against the miners. The militia
cannot get away before daylight. The
Second Regiment. the headquarters OF
which are In Pueblo. consists of companies
scattered all over the southern and west
ern portion of the State. and 1t Will re-
quire some time for them to get to-
gether

calling on all good citizens in insur-
rection In the Cripple-Creek District 10

Our Party In Norfolk.

The Norfolk Virgnian OF yesterday says
that IL was an error. as stated in that
paper, and from which the Dispatch got
its information. that the banner OF the
Prohibiton-Reform party was ever
hauled down TO make way for that of the
Citizens -Reform party. The Virginian
declares that "the ticket voted was the
which was agreed upon in recognition of
the large number OF voters, Democrats
and Republicans. who, not being Prohi-
bitionist. desired to vote that ticket in
order to contribute to the success OF the
reform movement"
There is considerable discussion going
on in and ont OF Norfolk as to whom most
credit is due for the victory. The Pro-
hibitionists are not willing TO have their
services moderated in the slightest de-
gree. and are making claims which others
are by no means willing TO concede.
II appears TO us that the Prohibitionists
furnished the nucleus for the formation
OF the opposition party and taat the
victory was won by combination OF
Democrats. Republicans. and Prohibition
lists.
In our opinion the one thing that con-
tributed most TO the defeat of our nomi-
nees was that the newspaper influence
was against the so-called ring" How
the party authorities got at loggerheads
with the Democratic press we do not
know. Three or four great papers which
had rarely before agreed on anything
else on this occasion agreed that the
existing government ought 10 be ousted.
We much fear that there was a deal
of bullheadedness exhibited In the man
agement OF our party's AFFAIRS at Nor
folk. But We are not ready TO adopt
the charges Of corruption so freely CIR
culated against the city government dur
ing the campaign. Those who were de-
feated, and many of those who helped
to bring defeat upon them. are Demo-
crats-allenated Democrats now, but soon
to be reunited Democrats, We hope.
The thing for Norfolk Democrats TO do
now is TO go to work TO allay the irri-
be no easy task. Much will have to be
left 20 time. We observe. however. that
tho Norfolk papers are pursuing a very
conciliatory course. and are xealously
striving 10 bring about better under
standing between the two wings of the
party. They have our best wishes. The
party will. doubtless, reunite when con-
fronted by serious danger. Perhaps the
Republicans. thinking to take the Demo
Gratis at a disadvantage. will bring On
sharp engagement during the coming
congressional campaign. IL so. we trust
our party friends win then cease their
chickering's and present a solid front to
the enemy. That Is about the way that
we Richmonders got out OF our troubles
few years back. May history repeat
itself.
