Clerks Mistake.

The Boise Statesman shows in its
issue OF Monday last that the medical
law recently declared unconstitutional
by the supreme court, was legally en-
acted but improperly recorded by the
clerk in the proceedings of the day.
The Statesman says:
at is worth while TO remember that
there was sharp contest over the
medical bill. Its friends were alert
and did not overlook any essential
point. They knew that it passed cor
rectly, and, when the governor signed
1t, they supposed 1t had become law;
but this error on the part OF the clerk
invalidates the measure. The work,
the care, the diligence and the watch
fulness OF members OF the Sepate in
passing the bill are all lost-thrown
away because the clerk made q blum.
der in recording the proceedings Of the
day.
ar any conclusion is TO be drawn
from these facts, 1t certainly is that II
would be safer not TO go behind the en-
rolled bill, excepting, perhaps, In cases
Ia which fraud is alleged"

Power OF the Dead.

The skeptical mind may frame ques-
tions as it will: Death sternly refuses
to give it any satisfaction. The love of
money may heap around US mountains
of gold all this is but to lower the ra-
tio of that which man is to that which
he possesses. The fever of self-lndul-
gence may multiply our enjoyments;
but each new enjoyment is for the
common run of men, a new want, and
each new want is ceW link in the
chain of moral servitude, a new deduc.
ton from our high presogative OF free
dom. Schemes of negation may each
for while fret and fume upon the
stage of human affairs. 1t is Death,
the great auditor of accounts, that re-
duces them, one and all to their ma
tural and small dimensions. The pre-
sent is louder than ever in its imper-
ious demands; but injured nature take
upon her to reply that the present is
the life of man. In the development
of luXure, we are immeasurably ahead
of the ancient Greek, and we might
have been proportionately more sue.
cessful in shutting oft the questionings
of the soul respecting that which is to
come, had not new voice sounded
forth in the world to proclaim the word
Resurrection since which it has be-
come impossible, by any process with
in our resources, to stifle uhe longings
of the human spirit Of obtain the COM
mand of some instrument for measur-
ing the future which expands before
it.
