FOOL LEGISLATION.

Aud now comes the Colorado Su-
preme court and on the 17tn inst
unanimously DEGREES that the eight
hour law is unconstitutional.
The eight hour Jaw, which was enact
ed at the late session OF the legislature.
applies only to mines, shelters and mills
for the reduction of ores The refusal
of the American Smelling a. Refining
Company to pay the same wages for eight
hours rs had been paid for 10 and IL
hours caused the smelters to be closed
on July Is, when the new law became
orerative.
This combine which is known as the
smclter trust, will now endeavor to reach
an agreement with lis former emplo, ees
as to wages and hours of labor, and to re-
open its smelters as soon as possible.
And so after all the suffering and
arrangement in business affairs, the
final guess of the only real law max
ers in American Jurisprudence sets
the cause of the trouble aside. A
post mortem method that is of no
benefit to the suffering subjects and
very little satisfaction to any class
a clear case Of locking the barn af-
ter the horse is stolen.
Nebraska has another brilliant ex-
ample of the actions of these philan-
thropic solons, that affects the female
workers of the state. A law was
passed, intended rs blessing, pure
and simple, to this class who work
to live. Employers, however, find
that they cannot conduct business
and comply with its requirements and
the only remedy is TO discharge all
female employees and replace them
with male. Probably the result will
he the same as in Colorado and in
due course Of time judicial inquest
will be held by the Supreme Court
of that state, announcing that the
law alone was responsible for the
death of certain industries enabling
women TO gain an honest livelihood
and declaring it demonstrations
The decision will he of great inter
est to those unfortunates, who, in
the meantime, have dragged out a
precarious existence incident to idle
ness aud want, and it is almost safe
to assume that hasty and ill-advised
legislation is proving to be au unmit-
igated evil

in this instance was making grand
stand play, that's all He is the very
soundest kind Of democrat, one of
the kind that under the impulse Of
patriotic frenzy would rs soon live
as die. But right down deep he
didn't mean anything. Way back
in the early days Of Long Island one
of the Beechers was pastor of n
church, and good preacher rs the
times went. He was very devout
man and much of his time was spent
in prayer. Among the members Of
his congregation was one good
brother whose vexations sometimes
became so intolerable that he would
free his mind after the manner of the
worlds people in words of profanity
instead of praise, as became his pro-
fession. He was most estimable
man otherwise aud liberal in his sup
port OF the cause But this one
fault alarmed his good neighbors and
Brother Beecher was prevailed upon
to go and reprove him and turn him
from the error of his ways. Upon
meeting the erring brother and max
ing his mission known the erring one
took the pastor by the hand and said
CHOW, Brother Beccher, / admit the
right OF what you say and the justice
OF your reproof, but after all it Is
just this way; You pray good deal
and | swear a little, but you know
we don't either of us mean anything

JUST IN Fun.

Quite number of the journals OF
the state are devoting large amount
of space and other material less tam
gible, to the discussion of Lieut. Gov
ernor Hutchinson 4th of July eff
fort at Boise. We take it, however
that there is no immediate cause for
spasms; these 4th of July talks are
supposed to contain an unusual
amount OF patriotic buncomhe, the
eagle, the illusion to the inherent
rights of man, such as life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness, and
consent of the governed etc, all
must be eulogized. The flag must be
nailed to the highest point on the

The time has arrived for Weiser to
make some move for the establish

The present lack of any system
answered well enough for the former
temporary structures that could be
raised or lowered and moved il neces-

improvements are OF permanent
character aud the builders are entitled
to know what they are doing and not
take the hazard of damage that

Joseph E. Sardo today flied a suit against
Walter NJ. Moreland and Frederick L.
Grunewald, trading as w. M. Moreland &
Co., claiming $4,000 damages because of
injuries alleged to have been received by
him at the stalls of the defendants in the
Washington Market November D. 1898.
The plaintiff states that he was employed
by the defendants at the time, and that
while engaged in hosting deer with
rope the rope parted and he was thereby
precipitated to the ground with such force
as to permanently injure his hip. The
breaking Of the rope, he alleges. was due
to the negligence of the defendants in not
providing him with more secure one. The
plaintiff is represented by Attorneys Z. ID.
MerriIat and c. NJ. Smith.

Sparks, while prisoner, escaped from po-
