A JUDICIAL DESPOTISM.

Il
To be wise after fact is very
common attribute, and ordinary OBJ
servation demonstrates that this is
one type Of wisdom that is not more
precious than rubies, but only man.
Hesitation of the gross ignorance tina,
preceded it. And the present much
mixed condition OF our state laws, by
reason of the decision of the supreme
court, shows very clearly that the
wisdom of our past legislature was
made up very largely of this subse-
quent kind. 1t is commonly known
by those who have had the opportun
ity to visit one Of these shoddy law
factories, commonly called state leg
islatures, that the majority OF mem.
bers are very busy attending to other
matters. A fter the serious business
OF getting some male or female friend
into sinecure position as clerk of a
committee, then follows the ardiou.
task OF taking sundry drinks and be-
ing entertained by some clique, or
person, who has an axe to grind or
II log to roll, and the more astute
members, who belong the legal pro-
fession, are CONSIDERABLY fixing up
legal conundrums for the supreme
court to guess on in the future. OF
course, when the election OF U. S.
senator happens to be in order, then
matters assume a somewhat different
phase, and fewer and less pernicious
bills are introduced and passed and
the social features of legislature life
are properly attended to. Corpora
ton legislation is supervised by com
petent agents, whose chief duty con-
slsts in making themselves generally
agreeable, and, in diplomatic way,
securing the passage of laws that os-
tensibly are regular corkers on the
prosecuted corporations, but are, in
fact, mass Of palpable unconstitu-
tional nonsense so rank as to be OBJ
noxlous to the supreme judicial
sense on first presentation. The idea
that this is n government of the
people, and that we are protected by
laws OF our own creating, is q popu-
lar fallacy that is allowed and in.
dulged simply to crafty popular
vanity, and is useful just before
election. The fact is that this gov.
eminent has long since been nothing
but a judicial despotism, and this
has been exemplified in cases with
out number ever since the bred Scott
decision, and becoming worse and
worse until the last financially in
spired guess of the U. s. supreme
court on the income tax. And this
being the case, why not use the state
supreme court as u preventative in
stead of remedy, and at every ses-
sion OF the Legislature let them sol.
EMMY convene and have every law
or amendment to laws. in fact all
legislative acts, submitted to them
for their approval or condemnation,
after which the American idea OF
popular sovereignty could be applied
BY the legislative endorsement of the
lets of the real sovereign, and this
would cause the eagle to flap bis
wings and scream. OF course this
4ction would deprive many legal and |
uaicial patricss ~ large amount !

THE LEADING ATTRACTION

The development of the mining re-
gion about a hundred miles north of
Welser and accessible only by way
OF the Weiser valley, is the important
question that presents itself to the
people of this locality and overshad
ows all Others. Any and all moves
in this direction are watched closely
and subjected to variety OF public
and private criticisms, and the per
sistent attempt Of rival localities to
direct attention to imaginary advant-
ages is to be expected. The only
result so far has been to delay actual
work, for the reason that the
man who is competent to manage af-
fairs of any magnitude must take the
time to investigate all sides of the
question ns presented until fully sat
islied beyond reasonable doubt which
is tue best, all things considered.
This year has been 80 far a fruitful
one in schemes both for mining and
transportation, and up to the present

1t is worthy of remark that it will
not be trusted to the rocks and
rapids of Snake river either, but
go over the only safe and reliable
road up the Weiser valley. The
smelling company have contracts
with Huntington parties to deliver
coke and other material by way Of
Snake river, to be fioated down in
barges which will afterwards be used
in buildings. The scheme is q good
one and so is the old proposition to

A powerful gas we'll for the present at

stream Of water, sand, stones, etc, APP

force. After a while the rubbish
thrown out cleared away and the cur
rent assumed a distinctly gaseous

with apparently un%dimlnished force but
almost entirely a gaseous current. Fur
