LEGISLATIVE TYRANNY.

All this trouble with legislatures and
their work proceeds from ignorance on
the part of legislators, who frequently
cannot give rational account after they
have adjourned of what they have done
or refused TO do. There is, moreover, an
ignorance of what has been already
overdone in the line of legislation; a lack
or knowledge of the great fact that the
world has general laws enough already;
and OF the, truth of the, statement of a
wise man long ago, 1.-The world is gov
the. truth that innovation is not neces-
sariiy Improvement; and that the old is
not, for that reason, bad, or the new
good.
There is. moreover, with the work OF
the legislature, the preparation of con-
siderable absolute tyranny. 1t is rarely
that legislature adjourns without in
dulging in some sort of enactment which
If proceeding from monarch would be
are all laws intended to benefit one class
or citizens by injuring another; such are
all laws discriminating against any class,
ana IN erect degrading them; such are
laws regulating what people shall eat,
saying nothing of what they shall drink
and all laws injuring the lawful business
or any individual or corporation. Legis-
latures which go in to crush or ''get
even with any person, place or thing
usually resort to tyrannical methods.
All these things go to make many ses-
sions of the legislature periods of anxiety
for the public while they continue, and
lead the people to rejoice when the
sprlnging grass and the song of the blue
bird announce that the spring has come
and the legislature has gone.-Indianapo-
lis Journal.

SEPARATE sUBMIss1oN-No.

VIII those gentlemen who have been
ciamorous for the separate submission
Of the suffrage article, on the plea that
the people should be given chance to
speak, be consistent on the question of
prohibition?
The separate submission idea was
originally urged by men who almost
without exception are opposed to wo-
man suffrage. Their tactics were TO
defeat it in any possible manner. They
first ascertained that the majority OF
delegates favored it and then they re-
treated to the idea OF separate submits
sion with the forlorn hope that the
people would defeat il. The surprising
fact was that suffragists should lend
their influence and votes to the scheme
In a week or ten days there will be
minority demanding that a separate
article On prohibition be submitted. 1t
is regarded as being probable that if
submitted to the people prohibition will
be carried. viii Morris, Goodwin,
Varian. Eldredge and others be con-
sistent in their position on that ques-
ton and urge that the majority should
rule in that question and that the peo-
pie should be given chance to ex-
press their views separate?
Suffragists could not be caught with
such chaff. Their party platform,
their sense of inherent justice, their
devotion TO the best interests of the
territory, all demanded that they put
woman suffrage in the constitution
to be voted on with all its other pro-
visions.
Delegates will disagree as to the ad-
visibility of many provisions; it would
be the acme of absurdity to submit all
those questions to the people for an
expression of the views Of the majority.
1t is the privilege of the convention to
make the constitution and the privilege
of the majority of delegates to say
what that constitution shall be.

AS TO MASS MEETINGS AND PETI-
TI0NS.

The folly Of wanting to hear ''fronl
she people" through the resolutions Of
mass meetings and the prayers Of pc
tltions was forcfbly stated to TIE con-
vention at Fridays session.
A mass meeting usually calls ou
those people only who are in sympathy
with its object; it will be large or
small depending upon the energy dis
played in working it up; 1t may on
may not be representative of those
people who are really concerned in the
subject considered; it never contains
more than a small fraction of the peo-
ple who are concerned, its voice,
therefore, Is the voice of the minority:
the opposition may be able to get up
a bigger meeting and stronger resolu-
lions; there may be mass meeting af-
ter meeting and then it would re-
main wholly uncertain how the major
tty of quaaied voters would view the
subject. These objections and others

George, call out their hordes and pour

The executive order of February.

been amended by the President and

guidance of army officers. In all cases
of desertion the sentence may include
dishonorable discharge and forfeiture of
pay. The limits of the term of i'm
prisonment at hard labor for desertion
range from zone year up to five. The
latter punishment applies to cases of
desertion in the suppression Of a con-
