Latnar, of Miississippi, to be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. William V. Vilas, of. Wiscoitsin, Secretary of the Interior. Don M. Dickinson, of Michigan, Postmaster General. Charles S. Fairchild, of New York, Secretary of the Treasury. George L. Eives, of New York, A$slstant Secretary of State. Isaac H. Maynard, of New York, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. Sigourney,Butler, of Massachusetts, - Second Comptroller of the Treasury. James W. Hyatt, of Connecticut, Treasurer of the United States. The Virginia Oase. The Supreme Court of the United States has decided the Virginia habeas corpus cases. They have given the Constitution another blow and opened a now field for the talents of the demagogu?. Here again is a judicial decision involving the gravest of errors. It is second to no folly in the constitutional history of this coun try, not even to thv nullification laws of the South Carolina Legislature of 1882. With 'the plain provision of the Constitution before it, "that no State shall pass any law impairihg the obli gation of contracts," the Court yet decided that a State can pass such an Act. The Court demonstrated noth ing in this opinion other than the fact of its own inability to draw the obvi ous destruction between a suit against a State to force it to do some positive act and an order enjoining its officers from proceeding to enforce a void statute . The opinion is an ill-jointed tissue of shallow sophistries. The reasoning of the Court is after the manner of the schoolmon. The rights of the States, the right of local self-government, the constitu tipual liberties of the people of this country can never be endangered by denying to the States, as the Federal Constitution does, the right to repudi ate their contracts, It is only when this Constitution is ignored, as this misguided Court has ignored it, that the officers of a Stat cannot be cijoined from enforcing a plainly 'vokf statute, because a Stato cannot be sued, is enough to make the bones of Chief Justice Marshall rattle in their tomb. Prohaibition. "The.notion," says Mr. .T. S. Mill, "that it is the duty of one man to look after the moral conduct of an other, has been the fruitful cause of nine-tenths of all the misery that man kind have experienced." Tis "notion," which so impressed itself upon the mind of the brilliant English philosopher, is still dominant. The Supreme Court of the United States has just decided that a State has the right to prohibit the manufac ture of liquor withini its territory. The decision even goos to the length, that a citizen may he prohibited from making it for his own personal use. It is simply impossible to over-esti mate the amount of judicial heresy that is put forth in this dccrce. "The right," says the Court, "to determine what was injurious had to exist somewhere, and the right of de termining what measures woro,neces sary for the preservation of the public morals, health and safety, had, there fore, been vested in the States by the constitutional right given them under the police power to regulate their own concerns." Starting with a bold assumption, the Court found its way to an infamous conclusion-"foois venture where angels fear to treadi." It is impossible to explain how a Court, trained in the traditions of the English-speaking race, and in the learning of the Con stitution, which this tribunal dared to quote, could have put forth such doc trine as this. It is enough to say, in conclusIon, that it was in- the exercise of the supposed right to "preserve the public morals and safety" that the "intolerant despot of Gceva" sent Servetus to the slake. Locnl Taxation Once More. The dangers to be feared from local taxation are manifold: The majority of men in this world are idle,- improvident hangers-on. Individually, they are equal to the minority, -in. probably but two par ticulars--the space which Ihey occupy and the right which they have or will have to exercise the electoral fran chise. It is the numerically small minority wh9 vo borne the brunt of civiliza tii s battle; they have carm'led her'ban * tners over land and sea; every achieve ment of sdial and industrial life is the result *of tihpir eforts. Everything has been accomptished by theo free' play ot the ni t~al faculties of moti, undor ihe stfhiI s of self-interest. They have gone fward in the onr solousnesps.that yjiey would po pro tected by th6tkw in the ful*erdoyment of the fruite' of theit latfo.r, and be * ~Allowed to t,.Ansmi t 1tt naot... te0ity. And this is the constitution of coolety whilh alone can call forth the nri ttnumcapaoltiet of the race. ,The assumton. that' the.majority of nono will continue to be idle and itm .proVident.is a safe one; an4 the pro position that the day is combgg when the political rights of all men will be fully asserted at the polls, even here, will not be serlotsly controverted. What then will become of the tight of property? To what- lengths. will a victorious but impecunious Democracy not go? Will the progress of oiviliza tion be able to survive the wisdom of a "township mob?" Let the advo cates of "local taxation" answer. For our part we are firmly per suaded that the precedent being estab lished, Inch by inch, the principle will be extended; stop by step they will trench upon the right of property; one by one they will pile the burdens of life upon the shoulders of the minori ty until the latter, harassed at every step, will realize at last that the strng gle is all in vain. On that day, when socialism by means of "local taxation" shall have achieved its infamous alms, industry will fold its arms in disap pointment and sit down by the way side, and frugality will fling away the scraps. -II. e.

Some of our legislators seem to be of the opinion that they must always be harping on expenses and reform. If these wise acres would only con sider for a moment, they would soon see that the time they consume in ad vocating visonary measures of reform, costs the State threefolds as much as the proposed reform. For instance, we see that a Senator has introduced a bill to abolish the office of Master and devolve the duties of said Master on the Judge of Probate. We would be very much obliged if the advocate of this measure would point out to its one single good that would be accom plished by such a change. It would make the office of Probate Judge a very fat one, but wherein is ehe econ omy? When a man undertakes to re form, he should know what reform really means. Then again there are other matters to be considered besides the saying of a few dollars. The com. bination of these two offices would create a manned-woman's contract law. We hope to see all such meas ures as the one referred to killed as soon as possible and the people's money saved. Some politicians seem to think that their popularity rests with the cry of reform and the intro duction of useless bills purporting to be reform measures, but which really are more catch pennies to blind the publio. We do not .ay this of the Senator wh intrsdte the Probate reform hiliR that' cos ney ad a6a complishi I1h good.
