TENDENCIES ON SUPREME BENCH

Recent opinions of the supreme court of the United Staes show two opposite and conflicting lines of tendency with regard to the assertion or non-asser- tioli of the judiciarys supervisory rela- ton to the legislative department Of the government.
 This is stated here as a fact for ob- servation, not criticism.
 In the decisions of the court on ques- tions concerning the extent to which the interstate commerce clause war rants federal invasion of a field that otherwise belongs to the states, the tendency has been and is to throw back upon congress the ultimate responsi- bility.
 Political questions, questions of ex- nediency and policy which the legisla- ture alone must determine, is the for mula in these opinions.

Glow the Citizens of California Pro- vided the President With
 Narrow Escapes.)

Tn Califoryans is as Imitatif as a Munkey an as crazy fer excitement as a Red Squrl. President Rooseyfeit made a Tower of tn Country mallin speeches an layin' cornerstones from mornin' till nite like he was a member of tn Stone Masons Union with a card an had his Docs all paid up, only he vilated tn Rools of tn Union by work in Overtime without extra pay. They wasn't no trubble anywheres. It looked like he was on Peecefie Jurney
 When he approached tn Golden Stait tn Califoryans they sez: We got to throw some life into this here Triumple Tower an make Theodore feel thankfie at he's comin' out of it alive. He's had too easy a time fer a Strenyus man like him. Buffalo had Sassinashun. We don't know if we can get wun up but amount to wun.''
 Tn Sassinashun Ovashun was started at Lost Anglus which Ust to have a War Bord durin' tn Spanish Confiicll becos they was War Bord at Wash ington an Lost Anglus that they ort to be wun on tn Pacific Coste, too, to pre- serve what's called tn Equilibryum.
 They looked aroun' fer a Sassin an cuddent find none till tn day before tn President got in. Then they run acrost a feller named Jon Smith an they ast him how he'd like to play tn Roll of Q Sassin fer few days. Mister Smith sez he's out of a job an willin' to do anything at he can earn a Onnest Livin' at sos at he don't haf to shed no Bud or Swet.
 Tn Committy on Sassinashun sez wen make it worth your while. Your name'n be Solgoss fer tn next few days
 twill haf to commit any Carnidge?" asts Mister Solgoss.
 No" sez tn Committy. You don't need to Assolt anything only tn Wit ties at we'll feed you on in Jale while tn Presidents here.''
 An all tn time Mister Rooseyfelt was in Lost Anglus Mister Solgoss Lan- gwiched in Jale on Shampane an Ham an Aigs an Irish Stoos or whatever he felt like he wanted. When tn Pres dent left Lost Anglus tn Commits ; went around an sez to Mister Solgoss. You're a free man an your name i; Jon Smith agin. Jon Smith sez he wisht at Mister Roosefelt could "a staid longer.
 Wherever tn President went they was a Committy on Sassinashun a1 every Ralerode Crossin', but none of 'em cuddent get Ackshun till Mister Roosefelt got to San Joze. Tn Com mitty on Sassinashun there sez: We cant affoard to he behind Lost Anglus. Les look aroun' fer Sassin," but they cuddent find none who was willin' to Ack. They finely picked up a Convick an throde him in Jale an tole him he was a Arnychest an would be wun as long as Mister Roosefelt was on this side of tn Tehachapi.
 That's tn way it was all through Californy. Mister Roosefelt's trail was marked by a Would be- Sassin in Jale in every town an tn name of Cali forny as a strickly up-to-date stait was Preserved. LITTLE JAMES.

In the courts two recent decisions in negro suffrage cases, that from Ala bama decided last week, and that from Kentucky decided on Monday last, the general direction is the other way
 Both of these cases concerned a con- stitutional provisions much more defin- ite and much more elastic or doubtful than the interstate commerce clause; ramely, the fifteenth amendment giy- ing the negro citizens the same rights at the polls as the white citizen enjoys. Beth decisions. beyond their immediate technical import. manifest disposition cn the part of the court to go behind the law, or at least to procure a esub- stantial good by declining to interfere for the enforcement of existing law.
 In the Alabama case, where a negro d.sfranchised by the state constitution applied for relief under the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. the court went into the merits of the case, put refused to pass upon the question Of conflict between the state constitution and that of the United States; and thus practically constituted itself an arbi;er of socio- political expediency rather taau an interpreter of statutes
 In the Kentucky case the difference of the courts attitude from that which it. has held in matters of interstate commerce regulation is still more striE- ing. The court reaches back to legisla- tion enacted thirty three years ago, at the time of the adoption of the fifteenth amendment and intended to give effect to that amendment. The court declares the act of 1870 entirely invalid, and lays down the principles which restrict the power of congress to protect the negro voter under the fifteenth amendment.
 This marked variation of attitude and method somehow recalls the recipe of MT. Justice Holmes for arriving at judgment: II have considered the pres ent tendencies and desires Of society and have tried to realize that it's differ ent portions want different things. and that my business was to express noi my personal wish. but the resultant. as nearly es I could guess, of the pressure of the past and the conflicting wills of the sent."-New York Sun.

 belief that to elevate negroes is to "ele- vate them to the pententiary." A per- son capable of writing and signing such a letter as that furnishes his own measure. We do not doubt that in Ar kansas and in Little Rock there are black citizens who. in every desirable attribute of character, stand head and shoulders above Governor Jeff Davis.
