LIGHT ON ONE POINT.

Last week, in speaking of the
decision in the fee bill, the
SIGNAL remarked that doubtless some
Of the other laws that had been
knocked out on other grounds, or
perhaps some that had been sus.
tanned, had been passed in similar
manner and the court said nothing
and we thought it strange. The fol-
lowing from the Caldwell Tribune
lightens up that particular point:
1t may be true that other bills have
been irreguarly passed but heretofore the
question has not been raised The fee law
was attacked on the specific ground of ir-
regularity in the method of its passage
and, on that ground was declared uncon-
stitutional. He'd it been attacked on the
ground that the legislature had no right
TO enact such law. or that the law in it.
sell vas unconstitutional, the court might
nave held that in respect to these matters
the law was sound The court is not
obllgeA to decide points which are not in
controversy. although it may do So and
sometimes does when. in its Judgment,
matters essential to correct interpreta-
tion OF the law have been omitted through
the carelessness or Ignorance of counsel.
But The court, without any knowledge or
Information on the subject will not in
quire into the regularity OF leg. slative
proceedings when the proceedings are not
questioned The presumption must al
ways be in favor of the laws. and when n
law is attacked naturally follows as a
lar presumption, that the attack will be
directed against all It's vulnerable points;
hence, no court will travel far out of the
record to invalidate law especially when
the law itself is regarded wholesome. The
TACT then may exist that laws; irregularly
passed. have not been held unconstitu-
tlonal. and still no charge of inconsistency
justly lies against the supreme court.

Some republican papers are real
mad because other papers don't seem
TO want prosperity when it comes and
keep sneering at its arrival; then they,
the republican papers, renew protest
ations that it Is here, and 60 off into
ecstasies over the good times that are
suffusing folks clear up to their ears
Prosperity has certainly struck Weiser
coming so fast the agrarlan popula-
ton is losing its senses and actually
selling hay for less than it brought
during the hard times OF last year.
The common price offered by the
heavy hay buyers is So per ton. If
We understood Geo. Nesbit right, he
bought some at 81 80. Thus the
benefits of the prospects of the
new tariff accrueth. The money
question is knocked out after such
practical illustration. The farmers
will get still further benefits next
winter when the price OF blankets
goes up.

are best for their prosperity and
healthy business relations. 1t takes

Last fall McKinley's sky was full
of portentious, leaden- colored clouds,
but now they have changed to soft,
fieecy white things that ornament the
heavens. He stood on the porch at
Canton and made the welkin ring
with rage at the damnable 50-cent
dollar. On tue Gath of this month
in message to congress he said, "our
money is all good"
Here is cloud that threatens the
whole foundation of this government:
Chicago, July 24-The Post says: An
Industrial combination on scale which
which Will mark an epoch in centralza-
tion is promised in the near future. Ac-
cording to Stock Exchange gossip the
following corporations are mentioned as
likely soon to merge their identity into
one colossal whole:
Standard Oil, United States Leather
Company, American Sugar Refining Com.
pany, National Lead Company, United
States Rubber Company, American To-
bacco Company, American Spirits Manu-
featuring Company. American Cotton Oil
Company, New York, Chicago & Bay
State Gas Company: capital, 1855, 900, 600
The leading spirit in this mammoth
combination is said TO be the Standard
Oil Company.
There is the power which controls
tariff legislation and renders the pro-
lection principal farce to the labor
and industrial elements Of the coun-
try. 1t is only question of time,
and inaction on the part of the
people, when the trusts and monop
olies will have the country in chains.
Last fall the SIGNAL expressed a
dread that If the gold power won the
election, there would be an attempt
to fasten recommendation on us by in
ternational treaty so that a war with
powers at home and abroad would be
the feature of any attempt to return
to the money of the constitution.
Note this paragraph in the press re-
port of the money commission now on

POLITICAL SKIES,

Political skies are as changeable as
other skies. There is political cir
rus, cumulus, stratus and nimbus
which Is constantly floating and
changing. Sometimes there are wee
specks which grow until storm is
threatened, but finally they float
away without q thunder shower.
Sometimes clear sky can cloud up
with awful rapidity The sky Of
Col. Jones, Of Blackfoot, has cleared
up, evidently. Some time ago we
referred to the assiduity with which
the Blackfoot News was smoothing
Cleveland fur, and the News prompt
ly ceased to become a weekly visitor
visitor to the SIGNAL. No doubt
Grover constituted GIRO stratus or
foul weather cloud which hid the sun
from the News, but we are glad to
see how it has broken and let the sun
through and allowed the once choleric
Col to become conspicuous at the re-
cent Bryan reception. Here's hoping
for continued sunshine, Col. Jones.
The attempt to sweep back the big
clouds from the sky of tariff prosper
ity is causing the perspiration to
break out, but vicious political Mel
bournes are shooting the financial
question into the sky and are sure to
bring rain. Closed mills, striking
coal miners, starved on $3.50 a
month are working too.
The appearance Of the sky caused
= bill to be sent to congress provid-
ing:
That the president Is hereby authorized
10 appoint monetary commission OF IL
mem bers who shall be persons specially
fitted by experience training and study
for the consideration OF the subjects com
ing before said commission.
Congress did not act this time, but
We need not think this is the last Of

A SHOCKING SPECTACLE.

President Andrews, OF Brown Uni
versity, under the edct Of the money
power to either give up his silver
views or resign, has refused to be
corrupted and has severed his con.
nection with that great educational
institution over which he has presided
for years. The determination to ram
goldbugism into young America
through the colleges is as plain as it
is despicable The DeLamar Mug
get says:
No meancr example Of cringing to the
power OF money has ever been shown in
America than the action of the trustees
of Brown University IN wurniug presi
dent Andrews that he must leave off the
advocacy of bimetallism or he will be
asked To step down and out of his DO
sition. The question WAS not raised re-

cational institution would lose the be-
