Saturday in the county court in the
suit by Casey to recover S642 from the
county alleged to be due for work ON
the Bouldin creek bridge, judgment was
given in favor of the county and against
Mackin & Weber, the contractors.
The latter were contractors for uhe
erection of the Bouldin creek bridge ana
threw up their contract, leaving NUMBER
of unpaid labor claims, which We're as
signed to Casey, who sought to make the
county a party to the suit because II
had reserved 10 per cent of the amount
earned by Mackin & Weber while they
were at work. 49,, AZ.
The county's defense was that tins
reserve was for the purpose of protect
ing itself in case the contract was not
faithfully executed and that when
AIackip 4 Weber forfeited their CONTRACT
ii had to 20 on and complete the work

In the trial of case involving stree
railway franchises in Jersey City, n j.
last week, Vice Chancellor Pitney de
manded the reporters notes, and afte
reading them ordered him under penalty
of contempt not TO print line about the
case at bar.
The newspapers generally sustain The
authority of the courts and observe
proper discretion to prevent a miscarriage
of Justice, but when the courts, as in this
instance, assume the discretion of the ed
nor it is an assumption of authority un
warranted by law.
Jatterly little too much latitude OF
construction has been given or assumed by
the courts based upon their right to pun
jsh for contempt. Some years since il
was n very rare and extraordinary thing
for n court to punish for contempt com
mitted outside of the court room or even
in the court room when the court was NOT
in session. but now this authority is reach
ing out in every direction and is embracing
many things unknown to legal proceed
ings until lately. This thing has become
so notable that the complaint about 1T has
become quite general. Contempt ought to
be strictly defined as its exercise by the
courts is an arbitrary power and should be
used with care. ,,..

The Tennesseans are preparing to eel
citrate the centennial of that State on
June /, 1896. Tennessee was settled
originally by sturdy set of Scotch-lrish
Presbytcrians who believed first in per,
sonal liberty and next in the predestina,
ton of John Calvin. The original set
tlers believed Tennessee was predestbned
to be u great and rich State, and they
went to work to fulfill that foreordained
fact as the Cavinists work out their re-
ligious predestination.
The centennial will be held at Nash
Vile, and will offer an opportunity 1ol
the many native Tennesscans of this State
to revisit the places that knew them in
youth and around which so many happy
"reminiscences cluster.

FREE SILVER HOBBY.
What Able Texas Editors Think About
the Question.

Denison Herald: 'The silent forces Of
nature are doing more for the cause Of
sound money than the arguments of men
The coming corn crop will Kill more free
silver votes than all other causes com
bined."
Coleman Voice. Judge Reagan and
Governor Lubbock are quoted as having
intimated in recent speeches that they be
Heved the newspapers opposing free coin
age of silver have been bought up by GOLD
bugs But Reagan and Lubbock do moi
believe any such rot. Truth of the matter
is, they have humbugged the people by
appealing to their prejudices for nearly
half n century and thus held on to thC
public teat, and now that people study
public questions for themselves their only
recourse is to impugn the motives Of
those whose patriotism does not cOnsis
altogether in holding office"
Velasco World: '"There is one thinl
about this financial question that presents
q ludicrous aspect. Democrats are pull
ing each others hair, passing resolutions
and thinking that to them devolves the
onerous duty of saving the country with
out ever taking into serious consideration
the fact that the Republican party will
have something to say about it next year
There are many level-headed men who
have an idea that the Republicans vii
run the country after 1896"
