Tomorrow being Memorial Day,
the News will observe it by omittlng

The issue fairly and squarely pre-
sented to the general assembly today
is this: VIII that body act under the
domination of an individual or OF
corporation In passing such laws as
those parties frame. for their own
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, and in further pursu-
ance OF such domination, pack the
bench of the supreme court to adjudi-
cate those laws. That and that alone
is the question. and upon that the peo-
pie OF Rhode Island must and will be
aroused to act. Certain political events
in the years that have passed have
shown clearly the danger. These events
are certain senatorial elections. The
late Henry Il. Anthony. first Of all men
here, began TO pack the general assem-
bly, in order to secure his election. Other
men have since followed in his footsteps
and with all his success. Here are a
few instances OF the results Of this
packing, but only OF the greater OF the
results. The 'pecking" began before
1S62, but that will be the first date
which we will present. In 1862, oIt of
possible 10s. Sprague had 92. In 1868,
out OF possible 9s. Sprague had es;
in 1876. out Of a possible 10l. Anthony
had 81; in 1881, out OF a possible 96. AL
drich had 80; In 1882. out OF possible
100, Anthony had s2; In 1886. out of
possible 109. Aldrich had 80: while, at
the beginning OF these conditions. the
men who had so successfully packed
the general assembly. never proposed
laws, at least openly. for their own ag-
grandizement-now, alas. we have
seen 1t done: but worse than that; we
are seeing the attempt to pack the SUI
preme court, to the end that those laws
shall not be adjudicated by impartial
hands. The danger which at first was
seen but by few men actually now con-
fronts us--the logical sequence has
come--the making OF the laws, and the
making OF courts to enforce the laws
About when and where do the common
people come in? VIII the solid men OF
Rhode Island stand such courses? We
think that ultimately they will not
stand It

A DEADLOCK.
U. 5. Courts Order Prevents
Establishing Of Quarantine
Against tho Plague.

San Francisco, May 29.-Legal COM
plications have arisen in the plague sit
uation and matters are very much
mixed.
The United States circuit court issued
an order restraining the local board OF
health and United States Surgeon Kin
yon from inoculating Chinese and re-
straining them from leaving the city.
The state board OF health then passed
an order asking the city board OF health
to quarantine the Chinese district.
At a meeting OF the city board called
for the purpose OF declaring an ef-
fectlve quarantine, the question of
whether or not the order OF the United
States court would not prevent the
board from declaring quarantine. A
reading OF order convinced the board
that II was very sweeping I'm its effect
and II was feared that TO declare a
quarantine would bring the board into
contempt. After discussing the matter
until midnight IL was deferred.

The influence OF mind upon bodily
ailments is either for good or for bad,
one of the most potential OF factors.
Mental influence will kill, or it will
cure, depending upon whichever way the
mental influence is applied. This. as we
understand IL, is the work of those who
believe in the application OF 'metaphy-
sicar' remedies to the relief OF not all,
but at least ITO a great majority of hu-
man ills. There are just two kinds OF
diseases. those which can be cured and
those which cannot be cured. AS we
understand metaphysician, he deals
solely with those which can be cured /:
but using his philosophy In giving peace
and quiet only to those who cannot be
cured. There is here a metaphysical
association. which has moved into new
quarters at the Hoppin Homestead
building. 357 Westminster street. and
here 1t has established circulating H.
brary OF literature bearing upon the
subject; and here every intelligent per-
son honestly seeking light will be met
