OUR friend of the jackson Comet,
who goes about with his coat-tail
dragging the ground, and with chip
on each shoulder, sagely remarks:
1.-The more you beat a thing dowr
the higher it will climb; so the more
you old party men say about the Pop
ulist the least harm you will do u.s."
Before presuming to question the
logic or the grammar of this, we pause
to ask if the application of your rule
to .'the old parties" oughtn't to close
your mouth as against them?

A PERENNIAL and holy show Judge
Murphy is to St. Louis. It's cold
day in his court when he isn't throw
ing hot shot into the police. the woman
who wears her purse in her hand, or
the ever-meddling newspaper repor-
ter. In consequence he is not the
darling of the three powers supposed
to rule the land. But he still lives.

The proposition to submit all laws,
both State and Federal. to a direct
vote of the people for their approval
or rejection, is Democratic. If in this
government the people are the sole
source of political power. its exercise
cannot be too completely placed in
their hands. Let several copies of the
/ laws proposed by Congress or the leg
islature be deposited at each county
seat and kept on file until the succeed
ing election, so that the people may
have an opportunity to acquaint them
selves with the proposed legislation.
Then, If unwholesome laws are adopt
ed, the people will only have them
selves to blame. The duties of the
local paper would be considerably in
creased, for its editor would be looked
to for Information as to what was GO
ing on. There would then be no need
of jumping on your Congressman or
your member of the State legislature.
This Scion would serenely refer you
to your own action. He would say to
you, ''if the people are blankity blank
fools enough to pass laws they don't
want, 1 am not to blame. 1 merely
gave them chance to vote upon them. :"
Provision could be made for allowing
laws for which there seemed to be
urgent need to take effect after their
passage, subject to the vote of the peo-
| pie at the next election. Should they
fail to endorse it, no greater difficulty
would be experienced than when the
supreme court knocks out law. APP
preparation bills could be itemized aud
the people given power to knock out
any item they might see fit. A nest
of barnacles might now and then be
smashed, but enough would be left to
keep the body polite healthy. Its
most pleasing feature, however, is the
vast saving of expense it will prove to
our transportation companies and other
great aggregations of capital. Bill
Phelps would no more be seen about
the corridors of our State Capital, en-
| deavoring with all his strength of
lung and pocket to save the people
from being ruined by their fool repre-
sentatives. A difficulty might arise,
however, should they want some law
passed necessary to their interests, and
as matter of course conducive to the
public welfare. Under such circum-
stances, it would no doubt be less ex-
| pensesive to carry on a campaign of
education among a hundred or two
people at the State Capitol, anxious to
be educated, than among the people of
the State at large, who might be more
difficult to enlighten. Notwithstand-
ing this trihing drawback, we expect
to have The united influence of the
corporations for this measure.

The Supreme Court of Missouri last
Tuesday knocked out the Sunday s.bar-

class legislation. If there was some
way to make the demagogues who for
mulate and pass such laws bear the
costs of the suits setting them aside,
the world would be happier, and the
statute-book less an object of contempt.
