That Supreme Court Decision.

AS the result of a decision hand
ed down recently by the Supreme
Court of Wisconsin, it appears
that all village organizations in
the state, which have oeen moor
porated by the circuit Court since
1858, are practically wiped out.
The decision is based on consti-
tutional grounds and the chief
points set forth are as follows:
"Q That the creation of
municipal corporations is the
exercise of legislative power: %
that legislative power cannot be
delegated. save as authorized by
the constitution itself; 60 that
the circuit court under the con-
stitution is purely judicial court,
and is not authorized to receive or
exercise legislative powers of any
kind; CD that the fact of deter
mining, tentatively or finally
whether il is for the best interest
of the people that they should be
incorporated into a village, and
fixing the boundaries. is not the
determination of mere fact, but
is the exercise of legislative dis
erection, and if such power be
delegated at all it must be dele
gated to the proper bodies named
in the constitution
The condition of affairs brought
about by such action of the court
is far reaching IN it's effects, and
will cause no little confusion, and
possibly much litigation, as it is
the opinion of many good lawyers
hat the validity of village bonds,
and other obligations may be cal
led In question. 1t is highly
probable that Gov. Upham may
soon convene the Legislature in
special session to enact such cura-
tive laws as may be necessary and
proper to overcome the difficulty.
The villages affected by the deci-
sion in Pierce County are ELS
worth, Maiden Rock and Spring
Valley. The city dads of Ellsworth
are now asking themselves where
they are at.

Sunday Closing Arguments.

The Sunday closing of saloons
in New York has opened an al
most unlimited discussion Of the
subject. The question is one on
which nearly every citizen has an
opinion and very many are express
sing themselves upon it. The
following communication, which
appears in an issue of the New
York World, presents forcible
argument on the side of those
favoring the Sunday closing law:
know the man who is most
clamorous about all open Sunday.
He comes to see me Monday morn
ing to borrow a couple of dollars.
His air ism t quite so Iordly as it
is on Sunday when he throws his
wages on the bar. His wife does
her best to extend their credit
with the grocer, butcher and
landlord. He seldom thinks of
taking her to the parks or seashore
for the rest that will give her
strength for the coming week of
labor. The average poor man will
spend more money over the bar
on Saturday and Sunday than
would buy him case of beer.
And all the saloon keepers are
very anxious for an open Sunday.
But don't think them the best
guides TO public morals. An open
Sunday will eventually mean to
the poor man seven days work
for six days wages.
This is probably correct repre-
sentation of facts in regard to a
numerous class of men. 1t appeals
strongly to public sympathy for
the wife of the poor man, and
therefore makes a strong point in
favor of Sunday closing. Another
newspaper correspondent pitches
into those newspapers that oppose
the law ridiculing their position
as follows:
The attacks of the press upon
the law as blue, puritanical, hypo-
critical, an infringement on per-
sonal liberty and peculiarly harsh
on the poor seem somewhat ludi-
crous. AS matter OF fact, the
number Of people seriously lncon-
venienced by the law is very
small, and for most of those who
are Inconvenience there can be
little real sympathy. A supply
of LIQUOR is almost as easily ar
ranged for as a supply OF milk,
bread or vegetables, and man too
poor to supply his wants ahead OF
time is as rule too poor to have
any moral right to drink at all.

for as an authentic report OF an inter
view with President Cleveland respect
ing the future of the Democrat party
From this report 1t appears that the
President does not believe all is lost so
far as the Democrat party Is concerned
While he believes, so says the Star,
"thst blunder was made by the lead
ers who controlled the convention at
Chicago last July, he is hopeful that
many of the men responsible for that
action will be convinced Of their folly
in the near future. He expects to see
the organization brought back into the
true Democratic path, and ne is conh-
dent that the party, by repudiating at
the first opportunity the doctrines pro-
claimed at Chicago, can quickly re-
cover much of the ground lost in the
late campaign"
The President is reported as saying
that very large number of Democrats
that were not in sympathy with the
Chicago platform voted for Bryan only
because he was the regular nominee of
the party; and while he appreciates the
force of the argument that parties can
be maintained only by loyal support
of their membership, still he heartily
iustifes the action of these Democrats
who, as he says, putting patriotism
above partissnship for the time being,
rejected both the ticket and platform
of the Chicago convention and cast
their ballots for either Palmer or Nc,
Kinley,"
1t is evident, from this interview,
that the President expects the sound
money Democrats to save the Demo
crat party from fatal diSsensions. He
thinks they are the only Democrats
worthy of the name. He says the
Bryan men who call themselves
Democrats are not Democrats;
they are Populists, and will 60
to the Populist party. He assumes
that they will abandon Democracy
when they discover that they cannot
command the support of the rank and
file Of the party, and he sees no place
for them to go except into the PopuliSt
camp. And he says the sooner they go
there the better it will be for the Dem
ocrst party. The interview concludes
as follows:
The President insists that it Is only to the
Democratic party purified and rejuVenated as
he hopes it will be, by this sloughingoff pro-
cess and by sccessions from the Republican
and independent voters, that the people can
look with any degree of hope or confidence
for relief from their burdens. He thinks the
greatest dangers which now menace the coun-
try are the greed of organized wealth and the
rspacity of corporations He sees In the re-
turn of the Republican party to power no
prospect of the abatement of these evils.
This view of the party situation is
likewise taken by most if not all the
leading gold Democrats. Here is q
sample of what they think as expressed
by Col. Henry. Wstterson, on his return
from Europe:
do not know what the future Of the gold
Democracy will be. but think the Democratic
party can only be reorganized on the lines OF
the indianapolis platform, and no other. |
think that the Democrats who supported Mr.
Bryan will 90 over to the Populist party.

PATERNAIIsM OF THE POSTAL SYSTEM.

improvements In the postal service
are of almost daily occurrence nova
days. About a year and half ago,
and as was suggested by the Chicago
strike In 1894, street cars were brought
into use as mail transportation In cities,
They were found useful and eCOnom
icsl, and now "horseless wagons" are
used. Vehicles are fitted specially for
this use; they are propelled by elec-
tricty. Suburban postmssters are
being dispensed with in some places,
and postofjce clerks are substituted.
The United States Railway POstofiCe
is already a familiar institution. Clerks
handle and ''sOrt" mail In these NOV
able postofices, saving time enor-
mOusly. And now it is proposed to
establish local distributing offices at
every Union railway station in large
cities. This saves the time that has
been occupied IN transporting the mail
from the depot to the city postoaice,
which may be two miles or more away,
and, also, on handling, The mail, as
it is taken out of the cars on their ar
rival, Is Immediately delivered at the
station postoffice and there distributed
for different sections and particular
localities In the city.
A Chicago dispatch, few days ago,
mentions the proposed adoption of this
plan in that city, and gives these de-
tails:
The largest branch Of the main postofice in
the city will be established at the Union rail
road depot, large vacant building having
been given by the railroad companies for that
purpose. Two hundred postal clerks will be
employed there. When the mail trains come
in the clerks will assort the mail for direct de-
livery in the wholesale districts and in the
big office buildings which are situated just
across the river This will save the trip now
made to and from the temporary postoffice
building on the lake front. The morning
newspaper mail will also be free from the
same delay when destined for trains leaving
that depot. This is to be permanent i'm
provement and the postmaster's plan Is to
have similar postal stations established at all
the terminal depots.
Perhaps no department of the public
service represents the Populist idea of
government ownership and control," "
as we'll as our postal system. The
cry of "psternslism" is never sp.
piled to the postoffice, though it is per-
feet illustration of the Populist idea
In practice. 1t is often said that public
management ip sluggish and slow, that
there is no progress there, and yet
the truth is that government service
is always the best service. Anything
and everything that the government
manages as part of its machinery, iE
not only we'll conducted in comparison
with similar things In private hands
but 1t is always In the line of progress
One of the arguments presented by
some statesmen In opposition to large
appropriations for army and navy
equipment is, that every year or two
changes are necessary by way of i'm
proVement In ships and arms.
