Tbe Official Paper Of San Juan County.
THURSDAY. JULY LIST, 1897.
THE LIMIT OF PUBLIC DEBT.

Judge Reid, judge of the superior
court of Snohomish county, apparently
considers himself superior to the state
supreme court, in wisdom, If not in
authority, and perhaps he is. He de-
liberately SCOTS at the decision render
ed by the court Oh the 18th of March
last i'm the case of Ranch VS. Chapman,
treasurer of Kittitas county, in which
the court held that the constitutional
limitation on the power of counties to
contract debts "does not include those
necessary expenditures made manda-
tory in the Constitution, and provided
for by the Legislature" Judge Reid's
lengthy opinion dissenting from this
decision was rendered in case brought
in Snohomisil county to enjoin the
funding of certain county warrants on
the ground that the warrants were is
sued in violation of Section of Article
s of the Constitution of the State, which
provides that "No county shall for any
purpose become indebted in any man
ner to an amount exceeding II per
centum of the taxable property in such
county without the assent of three
fifths of the voters therein voting at an
election to be held for that purpose, nor
in cases requiring such assent shall the
total Indebtedness at any time exceed
5 per centum on the value of the tax
able property"
1t can hardly be contended that there
is anything vague or indefinite about
this language of the constitution, and
Judge Reid would seem to be quite JUS
titled in assuming that it means just
what it says. From the paragraph of
the decision quoted we assume that the
supreme court holds in substance that
such literal construction would block
the machinery of government in many
of the counties and scores of school dis
tricts in the state, and that it could not
be the intent of the trainers of the con-
stitution to impose any restrictions
which would prevent the maintenance
of institutions expressly provided for
by the constitution or by legislative
enactments and deemed essential to the
good government and welfare of the
people. While we are not prepared to
admit that the decision of the court is
not in line with good public policy I'M
der existing conditions, we are inclined
to agree with Judge Reid that the
language of the constitution admits of
only one construction, and that In CIV
ing it another the supreme court ex-
ceeds the proper sphere of its authority
AS its opinion was prepared by Judge
Reavis, the only Populist member of
the court, and the Republican judges
concurred, it will not be easy to make
political capital out of it. The court is
not at all likely to reverse itself in
consequence of the opinion of Judge
Reid, and unless the question is carried
to the United States supreme court
with different result the constitution
al limitation of debt in this state is
likely to be honored fully as much in
the breach as in the observance.

WHEN Queen Victoria assembled the
British throne in 1887 Ireland boosted
a population of 100000 people and
paid taxes to the amount of $34, 900, 900.
Now the population is only 1850, 900
while her taxes are $4,000, 900. Editor
Stead neglected to mention these facts
in his complacent Retrospect of Sixty
Years" of the good queens rule. Prob
ably she couldn't help it, but ifshe had
managed to, the Irish people would
doubtless have been more jubilant at
her Jubilee.

went out TO Missouri he was obliged to
live in the state a year, but in Color
ado residence of but six months was
required. In looking UP the qualifca-
tions for citizenship in these states l
found that in Rhode Island and Maine
paupers or lunatics were debarred from
voting, but that In Colorado the cleo
ton laws make no mention of either OF
these classes, forbiddlng only the right
of franchise to persons who had been
convicted of bribery in public office.
"In several of the southern states 1
discovered, on making further inquiry.
that dueling or aiding or abetting
duel is sufficient cause to prohibit a
citizen otherwise qualified from taking
part in an election, but 1t is no bar in
the northern states.
Now don't imagine that I am going
to write any Impressions of America
when l get home, because l shall do
nothing of the sort. AS lawyer L am
interested in these apparent clashes and
conflicts of law and l have devoted
what time / could spare to studying
them. So far as politics is concerned,
am quite at sea, except in general
way. 1t seems to me that you are turn
ing people out of office and putting 9TH
ers in their places continuously. In on,
state q local parliament meets pien-
nially, and in another annually. Ger
tain offices are appointive in one Sec
ton Of the country and elective in an
other.
II am surprised at the knowledge of
political affairs displayed by young
people in all parts of the country l have
visited. Boys in their teens seem to
take to the subject like ducks take to
water. They are far ahead of the
English boy in that respect and the
way they talk of the work of conven-
tions and of deals and combinations
amazes me. But to return to the sub
ject l first spoke of, 1 cannot begin to
express my perplexity over the var
lance of the laws in the different states
and how inconsistent it all seems to an
Englishman who is accustomed to the
same sort of regulation in Lands End
that he finds in London-the same sort
Of law in Warwickshire that Is dis
pensed in York. / shall have an inter.
esting story to tell when 1 get settled

dominate to a great extent. Large
velvet squares, spargle in black, green,
blue, ecru, brown, ceri or white, and
also In light hues on hite satin, are
shown for this purpose, and brown or
black velvet leaves outlined in steel
beads on gray or ecru velvet are really
charming. Wide bands in correspond
ing style are sold with these crowns,
and a new fancy is that of combin-
ing dark brown and eCru. White and
black are also stylish, as for example
a white satin crown is used on a black
velvet hat. Some very large velvet
hats are exhibited, but it is probable
that those of medium size will be most
popular as so much trimming is now
required. The ordinary felt hat will be
very little used, but cloth plateaux
may take their place made into fanci-
full shapes, with huge bunch Of plum
age at one side. Eagles feathers are
particularly stylish and owl or pleas
ant plumage are in great favor, and
