Tribune, "the citizen is at the
mercy of a variable legislature"
The constitution defines in plain
terms the rights of the people. It
gives the legislature authority to
enact laws on certain specified sub
jects, and prescrihes the manner
in which this legislation shall be
enacted. Past legislatures have
violated, through ignorance, the
formulas of the constitution; ex-
ecutives have sanctioned these
violations; and on appeal the SUI
preme court has declared such laws
to be unconstitutional. The su-
preme court acts clearly within
it's province in SO doing and its
members would have violated their
oath OF office if they had decreed
otherwise.
Without the mandatory provis-
ions of the constitution and it's
system of checks and balances the
liberties of the people would be
but name and we should be gov
erned by legislative despotism.
The enactments of one Legislature
would be repealed by the next and
there would be no stability in our
legal code. Furthermore, there
may arrise in the history of the
state, times and occasions when
public opinion may, with practical
unanimity, demand the passage Of
Legislation not sanctioned by the
constitution. At such times an
iron nerve and backbone of steel
will be required by Legislators, ex-
ecutive and judges alike to with
stand the pressure brought against
them to violate their oath of Office
to "regard the constitution of the
State as the supreme law"
| In short, the wisdom of the ages
shows that the liberties of the peo-
pie are best preserved by written
constitution in which the duties
and powers of each department of
the government are limited and
defined. The constitution is the
organic law of the state, which
was originally adopted by all the
people Of all the state, and is not
susceptible of any ultimate change
except with their consent, or,
more correctly speaking, their
positive act, in the form of popu-
lar vote at a general election upon
a constitutional amendment. If
it were otherwise; if the constitu-
ton can be violated by q legisla-
tive body or by the pressure Of
public opinion in one particular,
it can be violated by another, with
the result that anarchy ensues, and
the ship of state is at the mercy oi
every changing breath of public
clamor, or the whimsical fancies
, of partisan legislatures.
When legislation is proposed
each legislator should ask himsel
and his colleagues: "What sec
, ton of the constitution authorizes
it?" When this is done---wher

Q constitution with the Ten Com
!, mandments, the Lords Prayer, o

: but not to be lived up to in tn

The Grangeville public schools
open on Monday next, September
5, with Percy M. Glanville, of
Michigan, as principal. The trus-
tees had employed Prof. Reeder, Of
Denver, Colorado, as principal,
but at the last moment he went
back on the agreement and SO the
board lost no time in engaging Mr..
Glanville, who is expected daily.
Parents should not forget that the
schools will open on Monday morn

nine months.
Political economists from time
immemorial have warned mankind
that when q money standard was
established, the volume Of money
Of that standard measures the pri-
ces of all other kinds of property.
A contraction Of tho money means
falling prices for the product OF
mine. mill, field and workshop
and there is no getting away from
the truth of it. The remedy is in
the free coinage of both gold and
silver.
The reports that the new quartz
camp on old Buffalo Hump has
an altitude of 10000 feet is ridicu-

Hump itself at 8810 feet above sea
level. This is the elevation plat.

60 to a bank with check, ask the
teller to cash 1t. and he will pay you
IN gold. Ask him for bills and he
will tell you that he cannot accommo-
date you. Currency is SO scarce in
Minneapolis. st. Paul, and other North
western cities that the banks are com
PEELED to pay in gold. The reason for
this state OF affairs is that the bills
are being shipped to the East in mail
sacks. The cashier of Minneapolis
bank gave the following explanation:
The reason why we refuse to pay
out currency is that we are sending
remittances East through the mails.
instead of by express, as in the past,
and. Of course. owing to the expense.
we send nothing but paper money. Just
at present the balance of trade is
against us and the money is flowing
out. This causes the scarcity Of cur
rency. and 1t Is fact that Minneapolis
and st. Paul are practically drained OF
all bills of large denominations In
former days We were accustomed to
ship money by express, and when we
did that bullion was sent
Some time ago the companies
raised the charges somewhat, and the
banks refused to accede to the increas-
ed rate. Then the present scheme
was devised. The money is sent by
registered mail, and the cost between
here and Chicago is 20 cents per 81, 900.
by paying an additional IL cents upon
each thousand the shipment is insured
by a London institution The express
companies were charging us so cents
per thousand, but have recently re-
duced their charge to Is cents. OF
course, we should prefer to ship by
the express companies and are willing
to pay them a higher price than the
cost by mail. but not the present diff
ference" .-
