CULVER AND THE PIGMIES.

The spirit exhibited by the Legisla-
ture towards the Constitutional Con-
vention is unfortunate, and childish.
They have grown petulent and peevish
and this has in some instances, led to
undlgnifled filings at the Convention.
Every thing that could be construed
into a reflection on the Legislature
has been so construed by that body,
and in many instances offence has been
taken by members at supposed reflect
ions which the Convention certainly In
no wise intended. The taking away of
passes Is thing the Legislature seems
to resent, and one member called at
tent1on to what he claimed to be fact,
that, mo people had ridden the rail.
roads as the convention did,. This
may or may not be true, but the fact
is. public officers having to do with
the making and executing OF the laws
have no business with passes and it is
fortunate thing they have been taken
away. But this is not where the shoe
pinched, 1t was the employers liabili.
ty bill" which touched up the corn
on the Legislative toe. For years an
effort had been made to pass a bill of
this character without avail. This
bill always had something wrong with
it. it could never be framed quite as it
ought to be, 80 it did not pass. The
Convention came along and it was
made manifest that the outrageous
length to which our courts had carried |
the doctrine OF fellow servant, must
have a check, and that the convention
would check it with jerk, when it
came to that point; so the Legislature
grew suddenly virtu0us and passed a
bill. Every body who is sufficiently
1evoid of prejudice to take calm dis.
view Of thecase, knew at once
hat the Legislature grew virtuous on ,
his question because it saw the hand ,
7riting on the wall, and for this reason
to pass bill in line with ,
THAT public sentiment demanded. | :
his was the same Legislature in a .

There is feeling prevalent that Sen
ator Spooner of Wisconsin will be
Ousted of his seat. When the senator
was first member of that body he was
very vindictive and we may say almost
mean. On his return after his first
defeat he grew better, in fact he has
been quite respectable of late. Another
defeat may transform him into real
gentleman, and for this if no other rea-
son We hope he will be defeated.

THE CORPORATIONS COMMISSION.

There is a feeling of anxiety as to
whom Governor Montague will appoint
On the Corporations Commission
This very powerful and important
body, will In its make up reflect direct
ly on the Governor for wisdom or un-
wisdom. If he appoints an able fair
and representative body all will be we'll.
If heappoints men who are considered
the tools of the corporations or who
are what is now termed populistic,
then dissatisfaction will prevail, and
comment, criticism and distrust will
run riot. It is there fore in that body the
ability Of the Governor to choose men
will be more clearly defined than In
any other. We have no suggestions to
make as to whom he shall appoint, but
we have some suggestions to make as
to whom he should not appoint. He
should not appoint either too old or too
young men, He should appoint neither
men who are pronounced loudly in
favor of very drastic measures in the
control Of railrods or other corpor.
rations, nor those who are known to be
loose jointed in their ideas about such
control or who are prejudiced in favor
of any species or character of cOrpra-
tions. Political hacks should be av-

will credit our sincerity in desiring to

work of the Convention as a failure In
this respect If such Commission were

The Constitution prohibits the follow
ing persons from serving. viz-Every
person while employed by, or holding
office in relation to any transportation
or transmission company, or while in
anywise financially interested therein,
or while engaged in the practice of the
law. The Governor therefore will not
be embarrassed by his lawyer friends
and OF course not by transportation
or transmission companies. He can
therefore look among the educated,
high toned business men of the State
and choose material for the Commits
sion, without we think calling down
on himself criticism, and so doing set
up a Commission which shall be q

tion is part of our fundamental law.
