tions right in our own midst seem TO
lose their terrors. The same papers
that devote columns Of editorial sym
pathy to the svicted Irish tenantry
scarcely deiRn TO publish the bare
fact that evlctions have taken place
in the United States.
Only a little while ago the Arena
published an article relating to svic-

ticle a story is told Of two Eng.
lish travellers who, walking
along one Of the streets Of
che city, found a poor woman and
her children with their sCsntY house
hold effects, thrown out upon the
street, utterly friendless, without
shelter, without food and without
means TO procure them. One Of these
Englishmen observed that such a
thing could not happen IN Ireland,
because a fund had been provided by
American subscriptions for the re-
lief Of eviCted Irish tenants, and by
this means when they are thrown
out upon the streets, shelter and food
are at once provided for chem. This
is a great country surely.

Of the constitution. It might even

WHEN LAWYERS DISAGREE.

The ambiguity of law is well illus
trsted by the different opinions of
lawyers respecting the necessity of a
session Of the legislature next win
ter. In any other written document
except a legal one writer Of mere
ordinary ability has no difficulty u.s.
uslly in making his meaning clear.
Those who read what he writes chn
usually understand him even though
they may not agree with a word he
has to say. In legal matters it is
different. It seems impossible to
frame q constitution or a law that is
not susceptible of as many inter
pretations as there are interpreters.
Why this should be necessary is
not clear, and yet it seems to be
true.
Hon. J. G. Lowe, the democratic
member Of the board of railroad
commissioners says that the legisla-
ture must meet next winter whether
the governor calls it in extra
session OK not, and he quotes section
2 Of article 10 Of the constitution in
support of his theory. The section
is as follows:
II shall be the duty of the first Lsgisla-
ture TO make an sppOrtiOnment based upon
the census ordered by the last Legislative
assembly Of the territory; and a new ap-
portionment shall be made in the year 1866
and every Ave years thereafter based upon
the census Of the preceding year.
It seems that the state has been
spportioned heretofore every five
years in accordance with this Sec
tion; but other attorneys apparently
equally well verssd in the technicali-
ties and antiquities Of law declare
that no special session is necessary
and that one cannot be held unless
the governor convenes> it. When
lawyers disagree who is to de-

HOW THE SOUP IS Spilled.

The power Of the supreme court to
nulify any act Of congress is well il.
lustrated by the FrenChmsn's expla-
nation Of the veto power Of the king,
Il is related that during the French
revolution, when the national assem-
bly, was engaged in framing the con-
ssitution Of 1889, and while Che ques-
ton was under discussion whether
the veto power should be permitted
10 the king, two Countrymen met and
were talking upon the subject about
as our people meet and talk about
legislative measures under discussion
ID congress. One of these French
man said to the other: "Dost thou
know what the veto is?" And the
other replied: 'No, net l." swell,
them" said the first, "thou hast thy
basin full Of soup; the king says to
thee: Spill thy SOUP and thou art
forced to spill it,"
Thus it is with the power claimed
by the supreme court. The Ameri-
can people conclude that they want
certain laws enacted; aud, this being
q government by the sovereign peo-
pie, they make the question Of their
adoption a specific issue in poIiti-
cal campaign and an overwhelming
majority Of the voters declare at the
ballot box in their favor. A con-
greSs and q president are elected
upon this specific issue entrusted
with the special duty Of placing
those laws upon the statute books
After having executed the will of
their constituents, some sristocrstic
nabOb whose pecuniary interests are
affected by the laws, proceeds to
bring o case in the supreme court 'to
test their validity" This court is
composed of nine men who have been
selected by the aristocracy and sp-
pointed by the president Of the
United States. They hold their posi-
tions for life, and are responsible to
nobody. Any Eve Of these judicial
autocrats will nulify the acts which
the people, in the exercise Of their
sovereign authority, have declared
shall be law, and 70 millions Of
American sovereigns are poWerless.
Having their basins full Of soup, the
court says: "Spill thy soup" and
