THE ACTS OF THE RECENT LEG
ISLATURE.
The Rival of Puck.

Il The Rival of Puck.
The West Virginia Bar fol
May thus deals with the ques
tion of prompt publication O.
State laws:
1.-The Emperor Caligula has
come down to US through the
pages of history as an unmitigat
ed tyrant When a bill Of parti-
culars is called for of his ty-
ranny, it is specified that he en-
acted laws, engraved them in
small characters upon brass
plates, and fastened them high
upon column where they could
not be read by the citizens with
the naked eye; yet the tryant
punished disobedience to these
laws with the same severity as
thoug the people had been ac-
quainted with their contents. <
How much better are
our legislatures? They enact
laws, they usually accommod>
ate the patron of bill by per-
mitting it to go into effect from
its passage,-and then they hang
their laws up for an indefinite
period, and expect the people to
obey them before they have the
opportunity of reading them,
and to be punished for disobed-
ience to the laws of whose ex-
istence they are unconscious.
The legislature should provide
that their laws should not go in
to effect until the end Of the
three or six months which the
public printer takes to publish
his little book, or else they
should provide for the more ex-
peditious publication Of their
acts. Iu these days, when it is
not unusual for daily a news
paper to publish in one edition
more matter than is contained in
the ordinary volume of the acts
Of the Legislature, the latter al.
tentative might we'll be adopted
BUTT is nothing less than out
rageous to have a considerable
body Of laws go into effect
months before it is possible for
the people to know what they
are.
This, is an evil under the sun
upon which we have often
thought; and, is one that should
be remedied.
No law should be in force un-
til the laws shall have been in
the hands of the public for at
least three months. The last
legislature, passed a law requir-
ing lawyers, doctors, dentists,
and hotel keepers to take out a
license. The effect of this law
was not known until few DAYS
since, yet, every person Of
either description is indictable if
they have not had license since
the 18th Of March. This is mon
strous, and would be tolerated
nowhere except in a republic.
If this is true of the acts OF all
legislatures how much more is
1t true of the acts of the late fu-
sion Legislature. 1t is now the
last Of June and the laws are
just getting into the hands of the
Clerks, Judges &c. Then the
laws are couched, some of them,
in such strange and meaningless
JargOn, and contain such new ano
marvellous provisions. that an
old but heretofore PRACTICAL OBJ
solete, rule will have to be in>
voked in their Interpretation, to
wit; that, when a law is against
reason it is void. From a hasty
and necessarily imperfect re-
view of the acts of the recent
legislature, we have concluded
that, if they were appropriately
illustrated they would rival
Puck as a humorous publication.
Let no such men be trusted with
the destinies Of a great State;
put none but Democrats in charge

NEWS FROM THE IRON MINES.
INTERESTING NOTES RELATIVE 70
OUR PRINCIPAL INDUSTRY.
Mes0ba and Other Iron Ranges.

Mesaba and Other Iron Ranges.
Margaret Lonstorf has given
the Minnesota Iron company an
option for the lease of a half IN
terest in the 81 of the sci Of Sec
tion 8, 62-14, for thirty years
from January /, 1896. The min.
imum annual output stated in
the lease is $4,000 tons, upon
which a royalty of ten cents per
ton is to be paid to an amount
not to exceed 100000 tons. In
excess Of that amount and not to
exceed 250, 900 tons, 81 cents is
to be paid. Over 250,000- and
under 100000 tons 81 cents upon
the first $50, 900 tons and II cents
upon the remainder is to be paid.
Over 100000 tons y cents is to
be paid upon the whole amount.
This is based upon a half inter.
est in the property. A sixth is
in litigation, and if it is decided
adversely to the party of the
FIRST part, the royalties will be
upon a third interest and the
royalties proportional. Upon
the delivery of the contract the
case of the Minnesota Iron CON-
pany against Margaret Lonstorf
is to be dismissed.
Explorations on the Sauntry
property, north of the city, are
being continued and new pits
are constantly being bottomed
in ore, the surface covering be-
irg from twelve to thirty feet.
If the present outlook for the
iron market continues the Saun-
try will in all probability be op-
ened and worked another season,
and will be developed into anoth-
er Mesaba giant.
At the Oliver things have
been humming this week, and
the management have been MAX
ing up for time lost through lack
of cars a week ago. On Tuesday
the record of loading was broken
112 cars being loaded in nine and
one-half hours by the new Barn
hart steam shovel. The highest
previous record was 107 cars,
made during the season of '94.
An average of about $500 tons
is now being forwarded daily,
The Mahoning made it's first
shipment of ore on July 4th, the
trainload consisting of thirty-one
cars. Daily shipments are now
being made.
The Bessemer has now enter.
ed the list of shippers, and will
be developed as rapidly as pos
sible.

PROMINENT IRON EEN HERE.
Editor and Publisher Of The Iron, Age Visit
the minnesota Ranges.

the minnesota Ranges.
C. Kirchoff and David Will
liams, editor and publisher of
the worlds greatest iron trade
journal, the Iron Age, spent Sun
day in the city after a trip to the
two Minnesota ranges, and are
now at Biwabik to complete their
examination of the wonderful
deposits of the Mesaba. For
some reason or other, John Bir-
kinbine, the expert so we'll known
to Duluth, was unable to be pres
ent.
Mr.. Kirchoff is an old mining
engineer, although young man
For several years he had charge
of mines in Germany, and later
was editor of the New York En-
gineering and Mining Journal.
He has been up on the Vermilion
range before, but has never seen
the Mesaba until now. 1t is ex.
pressing the situation in mild
terms to say that he was greatly
surprised at what.s.he saw. He
has read and printed much about
the Mesaba. but not until he saw
the range with his own eyes was
he aware of the richness of the
deposits. The range had been
written up in a fragmentary
manner and as a result eastern
people had a very imperfect idea
of it. So much of what had been
written was so manifestly absurd
that when a fact was correctly
reported it's value was lost. Mr..
Kirchoff does lot tire of sound
ing the praises of the new range
and it is his Intention to write
for his journal a series of letters
on the development of the range.
He declares that times. in the
east are fairly booming in every
branch of industry, and espec'
tally in the iron and steel trade.
Bessemer ore is in great demand
and it looks as if there would be
a scarcity. Prices are bound to
advance and by next season
things will be booming out here.
We cannot expect the iron bust
ness here to be as good as in the
east because the ore for the most
part was sold in the spring at
low prices. That will be righted
later on.-Commonwealth.
