TO0 MUCm LEGIsLATION.

Nowhere else in the world, and
never before in history, was there
such energy put into making laws
as in the United States. The av-
erage of new laws per day is not
much less than one hundred, in
GLIDING only those that in some
way affect a large district, or the
travelling public. Besides these
there is a mass of minor lawmak-
ing by school wards and municipal
authorities. Those laws enacted
that may affect any citizen of the
United States who travels are near
ly OF quite one hundred every
twenty-four hours. 1t is Of course
impossible for anyone to discover
all these statutes; and he undoubt-
eddy breaks many every day Of his
life.
Our Aryan ancestors, like oil
other primitive peoples, grew laws,
but never made them. There were
customs; and these in many cases
were very fixed; but for any body
Of men to sit in council and decree
the reversal Of a custom, or even
to bring its wisdom into question,
was a late innovation. The Unit
ed States began its career by the
curious innovation of a written
constitution. Law in America
early began to be an effort to break
with direct tradition, and fall in
with Hebrew Theodicy. The spir-
it of the initiative grew stronger
when, in The latter part Of the 18th
century, the spirit of religious
skepticism crossed over from
France and led many New Eng
land thinkers to adopt more ra-
tional views of Hebrew history.
The end has been that law is no
longer understood to be eminently
a body of customs, but a body of
statutes, issuing from the brains
of Legislators. There is little re-
straint upon unlimited lawmaking,
except constitutions. Drawing up
statutes has grown to be a passion
with us. A legislators standing
with his constituency is determin-
ed largely by the measures he
originates. This fertility OF leg
islation has led to the next stage
of the disease, a confidence in laws
as the remedy for oil possible So
cial ills and individual complaints.
The first thing a reformer seeks is
to get a bill through congress. An
aggrieved laborer turns with about
equal confidence to the strike and
to the legislature. This does not,
however, indicate with any certain
ty a growing popular respect fol
law.
Meanwhile the spirit Of person
al liberty is not on tho decrease.
1t asserts certain fundamental, in.
dividual rights with as great te.
merity as they were asserted bJ
Henry aud Jefferson. 1t is i'm.

UNTIL a few days ago the Morn
ing Democrat was firmly Of the
opinion that the Territorial Uni
versity Of New Mexico was estab-
lished to impart education in the
higher branches and for no other
purpose. It now seems that this
paper is mistaken. Partizan pol
itics seem to be receiving sufficient
attention to merit a special class
in that institution. A few even
ings ago the University Repub-
lican Club" was formed, with Pro
fessor thinner as chairman. Pro-
fessor thinner, when apart from
filling his duties as one of the fac
ulty, Is a proselytizer for the re-
publican party in that Territorial
institution. This paper objects to
Professor Gunner doing too much
work-unless he is paid for it..
His health may break down in his
jealous endeavors in behalf of the
republican party and his useful
ness in other ways may be serious
ly impaired. But, if he cannot
restrain his intense republican ar
dor the Morning Democrat sug-
gests that another brench of study
be added to the curriculum and
Professor thinner be given the de-
gree of Republican Proselytizer.

Mr.. Cam, 'the gentleman from

Although Mr.. Perea, a member
of the council committee appoint
ed by the late legislature to inyes-
tigate the affairs of the Agricult-
ural College, was charged with
malice and treachery for submit
ting his minority report in which
he alleged extravaganza and mis-
management, and limited at cor
ruption aud fraud, hat report has
no doubt been productive of very
good results. In the face of the
present hard times the salaries
paid the professors of that insti5u-
ton were too high, and by calling
public attention to the fact, the
regents have wisely concluded to
check matters. The following
from the Independent Democrat
will be of interest to the public:
"Ihe Board of Regents OF the
Agricultural College met on Mon
day, ell present except Mr.. McFie.
AT the suggestion Of President
McCrea, the salary list was reYis-
ed. The salary of Prof. Blount,
of the department Of Agriculture,
WAS reduced from $500 to &c.
600; Professor Wooton, depart
ment of Botany, Geology and
Physics, and Professor Hagerty,
Mathematics and Astronomy, were
cut $500 each. The salary Of
Professor Davisson, Principal Of
the Preparatory Department was
raised from $1,000 to $500. The
music department was abolished
practically, the instructor being
allowed only the fees paid by stu
dents for tuition. The presidents
salary was not reduced. Mr.. Nc
Crea was reelected president.

claimed in Legislative halls, as well
as enforced in courts Of Justice; in
short, let 1t become the political
religion Of the nation" But Mr..
Lincoln's great secretary was au-
thor Of the popular statement that
there is a law higher than even
the highest enactment Of congress
or decree of a supreme court IT
was necessary to formulate the
higher law" as protection against
possible Legislation Of a malignant,
inhuman sort. Mr.. Lincoln voic-
es a very desirable public senti-
ment; but the question is rising
whether lawmaking has not gone
to such an extreme that reverence
is impossible. The constitutional
convention hat spent its summer
at Albany, recognized the fact that
the Empire state now needs Meth
ing more than it needs safeguards
against lawmaking.
A tariff can be created in one
session Of congress affecting every
branch of production and every
line Of commerce. 1t can be dis
placed 10y the next session. But
this is not the whole Of it. The
popular uncertainty as to what is
to be the basis of buying and sell
ing has kept our whole business
world unsettled, and at last threat
ems a permanent social unrest. It
begins to be felt by students Of So
cial economy hat it is not the
character of the tariff hat most
seriously affects our prosperity for
evil, but the certainty that no tar
if is SUR of a permanent footing.
1t is not hasty legislation that we
have to fear so much as superAu-
GUS legislating; the quantity and
rot the quality.
One hundred years ago John
Adams and Marshell and Jefferson
we're intent on safeguards against
the executive power of the state.
History warned them against the
encroachments of a chief of the
nation. 1t is interesting to read
of the elaboration of the system
Of checks devised against such pos
sible tyranny. The tyranny Of
popular legislation had never been
experienced outside of municipal
boundaries. At least it did moi
occur to them that the chief dan
ger to the people in a federated
republic would be from themselves
in their representative. Con.
gress has created, when it needed
new judges, who would be subser.
Went to its will. We may be sure
that whenever the conflict come,
tho President will be impeaeheC
and the supreme court revolution
lied, if they stand in the way 0.
Legislation.
With this drift toward legislat
ing we have SO fer done very littl,
to educate our people into a spe.
cial capacity for legislative gov
eminent. Even our universitiei
have only begun to develop cul
ture in economics and civics. Cor.
ruption is a great danger, bur
there is a greater danger in igno.
rance. Our lawmakers do mo-
know the important part hat his.

The kaktus kommission has again
labored and brought forth conclusions"
They conclude" that: where the thistles
grow thickly they cannot form "rollers;"
that each year the growth is smaller,
with tendency toward suicide; that the
big, overbearing, bullying thlstles on the
borders of fields are the chief element of
danger; that if such fields are plowed or
burned presumably in the fall] seed
bed is formed for rolling thistles and the
growth will be as rank the next year as
it was the year previous. and that no
farmer will be fined If he prevents the
big thistles on the edges of fields from
breaking away and scattering their
Seeds" Under this ruling, each farmer
should tie the outlying thlstles to the
earth with binding twine, and when one
breaks its picket rope and escapes he
should chase it until he finds out whether
it is scattering its Seeds" The highly
ornate and eminently respectable kaktus
kommissioa could have taken one case
on ice and strolled through the southern
part of this county and obtained without
further expense all the foregoing infor-
nation from those who long existed
cotemporaneously with the Muscovlte
tumbleweed, across the ocean, in the re.
gion round about Odessa.
