ASSUMING A POWER ONCE
CONDEMNED.

Before man grew clamorous for his
rights it was the kingly prerogative to
condemn unheard. cOurtier came
CRYING: He did me wrong" "Off with
his head" cried the king. Then ii was
only necessary to have the kingly ear
and accuse whoever stood in the way;
the path was promptly cleared. All
things came to him who cried fraud
against his neighbof. In Venice. 4
cloaked and masked figure threaded
the palace hall at midnight to drop in
to the Lions Mouth an anonymous let
ter Of accusation: the next day some
innocent man was bidding the sunlight
good bye from the window Of the
Bridge of signs. being dragged TO the
dungeon beneath the palace walls TO
lie there so long as life should last.
II was against such kingly preroga-
tive that man revolted, demanded OF
his king a constitution and courts TO
pass upon his innocence or guilt. 1t
was declared that no longer should II
be enough to accuse; the proof should
be brought forth, the courts should
hear and determine, holding every man
innocent until he was proven other
wise.
Are we back again to those olden
DAYS? At times it would seem so. The
racial. the so-called insurgent and the
reformer, has taken the place of the
king. finding it necessary only again
to accuse in order to see their victim
publicly condemned. An office-holding
cahal lusting for greater power, &C
cuses a st. George of guilt; off with
his head" is the public cry. reform
er OF the courts, a juvenile judge, hears
a charge against a girl and in the zeal
of reform commits her untried TO pris-
on; a guardian comes to complain that
a boy is bad and will not go to school;
off goes the lad to prison for term
covering the years of his adolescence,
to stay in a so-called reform school
more years than many a matured GRIM
inal must spend in prison for commit
ting a capital offense. And the people
those who once clamored for courts
and constitutions and demanded that
every man be held innocent until
proved guilty. hail the reformer as
champion and friend! Today it is but
necessary to accuse and the reiormer
win "off with his head"
The odd part of il all is that the peo-
ple do not seem able to see that all
this is setting aside their demand Tor
protection through the courts. Even
they applaude when the right of the
court to hear and determine is ques-
toned, mistakenly thinking that there
in in some way their rights are being
conserved and their cause and inter
ests defended. He who would expect
Justice must first be just" Hacing
hedged their kings and their govern
ments with laws to protect the inno-
cent, the people must not themselves
become fnquisitors and condemn with
out a hearing-Denver Republican.

SHIPS ON POSTAGE STAMPS.

The ship postage stamps are numer-
Gus and have performed yeoman SER
vice. Among the most notable stamp
pictures Of modern vessels are those
on the Buffalo exposition stamps OF
this country, the one-cent showing a
fast-moving vessel on the great lakes
and the ten-cent showing brave ocean
traveller An early local stamp of this
country shows a queer little side-wheei
steamer that would be a curiosity now
adays.
American ship stamps include the
very interesting Columbian series with
the pictures of Columbus vessels.
There are almost innumerable stamps
of other western hemisphere countries
which portray the fleet and individual
vessels of Columbus
In the stamp picture gallery there is
probably every type of boat that was
ever invented except the submarine and
Noah's ark, neither one of which seems
to have appeared up to the present

We can only say that it is good
thing that Maine elections have lost
the significance they formerly had.
Of late years they have meant only
that they were held two months
earlier than other elections. Maine
this year merely settled a family

Whether congress and the president
will reject the Arizona constitution is
a profitless subject of conjecture. 1t
was a live and important topic a
week ago. There is nothing for us
now but to await the constitution and
it's fate. The democrats are pledged
to experimental investigation of the
intentions of Washington.

UNREST IN ROCHESTER.

Rochester Rochester may be the
next city in Minnesota to adopt the
commission form of government. 9th
er cities in this section that are con-
templating the new system are Red
Wing and Winona, but there seems
little doubt that this city will adopt
new charter at special election to
be called for the purpose some time
after the holidays.
A petition is to be started at once
to secure the necessary number of
signers to bring the new order to
things about, and every one to whom
the subject has been brought seems
eager to adopt the plan.
Rochester has been operating for
years under a charter said to have
outgrown it's usefulness long ago, and
as result the city is tied hand and
foot. It has reached the limit of it's
ability in making improvements and
it's electric light plant is proving a
losing proposition. Should the adop-
ton of the commission plan come to
vote, there is every indication that
it will carry. The result will be
watched by many cities contemplating
the move.

The proprietor asked the provincial
government to pay the loss, which
amounts to $1,000. The provincial
government is in favor of paying the
loss, but the board of health is op-

a bad precedent, partly because the
proprietor is so prosperous that he can
stand the loss.
A farmer was operated upon for
chest trouble at hospital in south

quite we'll. But after a while he felt
a peculiar pain in the chest, which
soon became so bad that he began to
think of new operation One day
he noticed something jutting out of
the chest where the incision had been
made. This proved to be rag, which
he pulled out. When this was out he
saw more rags, and in the course of
time big bunch of rags was pulled
out of his chest. The explanation was
easy enough-the doctors forgot the
stuff in his chest when they performed
the operation. This advertisement did
not exactly enhance the prestige OF
the hospital and it's surgeons.
