CONSTITUTION AND THE COURT.
The first judiciary act, that OF Sept. 2f,
1TS9, provided for q Supreme Court, to consist
of one Chief Justice and five Associate just
ices; for District Court for each state, OF
some Gcined portion of State, and for q
Circuit Court, to consist in each OF the sew
eral Circuits into which the country was
divided of one of the Associate justices and
the District Judge in the ID strict in which
the Court sat; for an Acknowledgement OF the
United States and for an Attorney and Mar
slIal for each District.
TaiS scheme of organization has been fol-
lowed ever since. The number OF Associate
justices was increased t. six in 1907; to eight
IN 1887: to nine in 1853; decreased TO eight in
1860; to seven in 1867, and incress d to eight
in 1870 at which number it continues to-day.
Tie independence of the Court is assured by
the Constitutional provisions that the Justices
shall 'holi their offi.es during good be-
hayior" and that their compensation shall

An Unfortunate LinSuist.

John was an ambitious Chinaman. He
had made money in Chinatown, San
Francisco, but had devoted himself t.
business so thoroughly that he remained
totally ignUrnant OF English.
He came to Neg York determined to
avoid his fellow Cinnamon. so that he
might learn to speak English during his
six months stay in the metropolis.
He took a roenl in an East Side house,
eaid rremEtly, made himself agreeable tc
his laadlsrd, who allowed aim to wait or
customers in his little grocery store, ahG
ie never went near Fell or Nett street.
After several months residence in New
York ard many heurs OF study, the China
man yeatured foTtn afasag his people
where he proceeded to give an exhibition
of his proficiency in the English language
shat he said sounded strange to the
sther Chinasen, and the ambitious one
aeariy sweSRed when he discovered that
ae had learned German by IA istake.
His New Ysrk fonae was i'm the German
part of the city, where English is an un-
known tongue, and the poor fellow had t.
begin his linguistic work over again.

and it reminded me, in a far of sort OF
way, Of Newmarket. The camels were all
arranged in line. and they shifted the air
IN their anxiety to be off, A flag was
waved and they set off at a terrible pa ce,
as if they were only racing for a short
distance.
They kept together until they were
almost out Of sight. Then they seemed
10 settle down TO their habitual pace, and
the race proceeded, with long intervals be-
tween the competitors.
have also seen the finish Of q camel
race, and it reminded me of the frs t
mot0r-car promenade between London and
Brighton. The camels were certainly not
so broken down and bedrargied, but they
came in at intervals OF several hours, ard
greet patience was necessary to watch
them arrive.

Mining in Colorado.

Mining experts say that the soil of
Colorado has only been scratched for gold
and silver, and that the placer mines are
merely indications OF the greater wealth
below. The consequence is an increase
Of deep mining, and the farther down the
shaft go the richer the deposits.
Shafts from 1000 to 500 feet deep are
by no means uncommon, while there are
two or three shafts in the State that have
passed the 2,000-foo limit. The deepest
shaft in the State is that Of the Geyser
Mine, in Custer County, which hps
reached a depth OF $500 feet, and is still
going on down, the results 50 far obtained
pointin TO increased values at greater
depths. In Gilpin County the deepest
sh aft is that of the Kansas Burroughs,
which is now down 2,2)9 feet, while there
are several others that have reached a
d epth of more than 900 feet The Bob
tail shaft is now down 1,200 feet, the
Gregory Consolidated is down 900 feet,
and there are ~ number of properties with
shafts from 700 to 500 feet deep.

Bill TO be Introduced ia Congress to Award
Medals of Honor.
Editor National Tribune: By enactment
of law during the war of 1Sbi-'65 all per
sons in the army, from General TO private
together with all sailors and petty officers
Of the navy who should distinguish
themselves by acts of heroism were en-
titled to receive medals of honor. The
officers of the navy alone were not in
cuded in any of these enactments. The
Honorable Secretary of the Navy informs
officers of that period, some being OF high
rank, are still applying in vain for such
recognition. Meanwhile hundreds OF
army officers are yet receiving such
medals.
Such recognition is not beneath the de-
sire Of every naval officer; but would be
particularly dear to ex-volunteer officers,
most Of whom, at the close of the war
were relegated to private life. The quick
and substantial recognition being given t.
participants in our present war serves Il
quicken in the breasts of the gallant
naval heroes of 1861 memories OF their
unnoticed and unrequited acts of heroism
in defense of the flag, and to create a
posterity simple badges of their recogni-
tiOn by a grateful Government
1t is therefore proposed to take advan-
tage of this peculiarly auspicious time t.
introduce a bill in this Congress
which shall cover the omission stated
and which shall place naval officers in
that respect on a footing with those of the
army.
the following is the essence of the bill:

regular and the volunteer navy in the

from whom We have taken the model OF most
OF our institutions, has nothing approaching
our Supreme Court. The House of Lords is
the British Court of last resort in MANY
cases. but it has nothing like the functions
and powers of our supreme tribunal. which
is open 10 every citizen in the United States
on any plea of sufficient Importance con-
nected with his life or rights, and it is the
sole Judge as to its powers to consider his
| plea. 1t can review the acts Of President
and Congress; and, again, it is the sole judge
of Its powers in this direction.
Under an absolute monarchy, such as
governed the countries Of the world for CEN
turies and still exists ia many of them, one
man makes the laws. interprets what they
mean. and executes them according TO that
Interpretation. The development of freer
Governments took the direction Of limiting
this mans powers By dividing his functions.
Lawmaking was given 10 Pariiaments and
more or less independent Judges were created

Chief Executive was left the duty OF execut-
Ing the laws az they were made and inter-
preted. OF the older countries England has
come most nearly 10 this condition, after cen
turies OF struggle, and the other countries Of
Europe are following far behind her.
Our fathers took very long stride ahead
when they adopted the Constitution They
| formed . Government which should consist
OF three coordinate parts. equal in rank and
dignity, and supreme inside of their several
provinces. The Congress was TO make the
laws, subject to the Constitution, the Su-
preme Court TO decide whether those laws
were in accordance with the Constitution, and
to direct how they should apply TO the people,
and the President 10 execute the laws accord
ing TO the will of Congress and the interpre-
tation OF the Supreme Court. The only rem
nant of legislative power left the Chief Ex.
ecutive was the veto prerogative. and the
only judicial function left him was the par.

To students of Governmental evolution il
is amazing that so much power was given the
Supreme Court at that stage OF political de-
vcl0pmeBt Its assertion of its full powers
particularly as TO National authority, was
bitterly resisted by Jefferson and other leaders
for many years, but they met their equal in
sturdy Chief Justice John Marshall By
1920 the victory was fairly gained, and the
