are du-ldcd into three distinct depart-

In other words each of the co-ordinato
hranchos of the government Is limited
within iu scopa and has no nutliorlty to
infringe , upon the domain of either of
tinothers. . The legislature cnnnot
legally exorcise executive functions or
a.s-iumu judicial ] iowors except where
the constitution oxnicssly directs It to
bo dono. The governor has no right to
usurp loL'islatlvo or judicial functions
and the judiciary has no legal rlirht to
nrrogato to itself powers and duties
delegated by the constitution to the
legislature or the executive branch of
government.
When the supreme court ovorroachcs
its powois Its action becomes revolution *
ary and therefore subversive ! to our sys
tem of government. A court usurping
executive or legislative powers becomes
fully as dangoious to i-lvil liberty and ti
republican form of govos nnn-nt as a resort -
. sort to lawless force to overthrow the
government.
lly the express mandate of the consti
tution the legislature Is the solo juJgj
of the election leturns uml qualification
of Us mombo and Its decisions cannot
bo rovlu'.veel or reversed by any tri
bunal.
If the supreme court van he invoiced
to pass upon the validity of credentials
of mombois of the legislature from Cl iy
county it has a right to annul the
riodontlals of all other men who
hold eortUieatos of election as
members of the legislature. If
the supreme court cm scat and
utibcat a Dingle member of the legislature
turo it can so-it or unseat the whole
logislaturo. This power once conceded
would make the legislature tlio more
creature of the supreme court instead ol
a poor which it was designed to bo tuid
must remain so long as our form of gov
ernment endures.

It is true that in suvor.il slates , nota
bly in Montana and \Vyoming , su
pronto courts have passed upon crcdon
tials of members of the legislature
but these decisions have nearly alwayi
been followed by doublc-hoadod legibla
lulus and a reign of anarchy. There
have boon several instances in Nebraski
where one or two changes in the legislature
laturo were decisive in senatorial con
tests , but no court has ever dared ti

Tlio powers of our supreme court huvi
undergone a very severe strain sovora
tunes within the past few years for th
sake of partisan success , but never be
foio had there been an attempt to pad
tlio legislature by appealing for a supreme
premo court mandate. For our pir
wo do not believe the supreme court wil
lend it-elf to such a suhomo , althoug
certain prominent republicans proton
to Know what the court proposes to do.
Republicans who want to n = o th

for the more temporary gain that cot

on dangerous ground. Their succc :
would bury the pirtv beyond rosurret

buried that attempts to ovorrid

t illation that the soi/.uro of the Brill :
steamer Coqultlam by Iho Coiwln
expected to produce couilicaUons ] , A
though this sol/uro created u great dc
of uxcitoinunt at the time and was I
dignantly "rosonlcd in Canada , it
hardly to bo supposed that so obvious
violation of our laws as the seized vc
sol was guilty of will bo seriously i ]
fended now that tlio fiicls are know
The case will come up f
trial in the United Stnl
supreme court ot Alaska * next mon
and there is no reasonable doubt th
iho vessel will bo condemned us
smuggler , for her violation of the ci
loins laws of this country was pla
enough. Pho was employed as a supi
etoamor for the Canadian tloul of so ,
ing vessels. Instead of going into sot
United States port and complying wi
the customs laws she would slyly & !
Into small harbor * und exchange h
enrgo of provisions for the sealskins -
skins of the Hoot and then Bull
tiwn.v. The explain of the Corvvin
not only seized the steamer , but ordered
thirty Canadian sealing vossu's to sea
fre'm Uin harbor of Port lUchos before
iho transfer of cargoes luul licon made ,
is they wore In n harbor of the United
Stales without authority of liw. Some
of these vessels wore obliged to return
lioino for want of supplies , mid thus
lost the balance of the season's cruise.
Hut It was tholr own fault , and there
\\as no reasonable ground for the bitter
complaint that was 11 .io about the
matter.
Whatever may come of the Bering
sea arbitration , It would be wisdom on
the part of congress to carry out the
suggestion of President Il'irrisoii that
the president bo given power to prohibit
by proclamation the taking of seals in
the North Pacific by American vc ols ,
provided that the same restraints are
apnliod to the vessels of till other coun
tries. The prohibition ot pelagic scal
ing in those waters , If agreed to by till
the governments whoio subjects now
engage in the Itusmnss , would bo
the moans of preventing the total
extermination of seals that is
now foarcd. The United Slates
government has practically prevented It
during the past season so far as Hering
sea i" concoMicd , hut the president
stales that the slaughter of herds mov
ing from islaiiil to island in the open
ocean amounted lo about Ii5UUO. At the
season when Hits shameful work Is done
it tells with terrible elToot upon the
natural incro. so of the soals. It ought
to bo proven led , and the co-operation o (
Iho United Status and ' ! oal Llriialn
would lo snillcionl to stop It.

According to a preliminary statement

this year is above the averages and prob-
ii'ily surpasses that of any previous

of nearly $ 'J,000,000 in the value of pro

healthy indication and the west will bt
uirticularly interested in the fact thai
the exports of cattle were about 3,00 (
head greater than during the stum
period last yoar. The prioo of cattle ii
foreign markets remains about the sami
as it was 11 year ago , but provisions have
advanced. Tlio figures quoted shov
that there has been no general dcclini
in the foreign demand for American
ican products , for it is to bo romombarci
that the comparison is made with :
year that was extraordinary. The decrease
crease in the value of v\heat and cottoi
exports this year is attributable eh loll ;
lo a fall in prices resulting from th
yricat production last yoar. Thougi

preaiion it was lower in November t ha
it was in tlio .samo month of the previou

that the hog exports are keeping up s

and there is every reason to believe tha
it will continue to improve.

Two important propositions roliUhij
lo iho curicney have boon Introduce
in congress. Ono of these pioposos th
repeal of the silver purchase law , an
in order to provide for the contraclio :
that would result it is proposed lo nllo1
liie nalionnl banks to issue notes to th
par value of the bonds deposited to sc
euro circulation This mcasuro also pro
pdics to abolish Iho lax on nationa
hank circulation. The other moasur
nKo provides for the rope il of the silve
law and proposes that the tax on btat
bank issues be ropinlod , so that th
stales may provide n circulation.

there is a very powerful element of tl

will prevent any contraction of the ci

The reference madu by the prcslden

our toleration of the system thus far hi

The spirit that animates Iho Canadir

the lust message of President Harriso
Guviitxin in' A'.m'K.tr , A/.nr.s ,
The idea that the decline in the prie
of important products is duo to tl
clicapnoss of silver ib not unlorlnincdl
Iho best linancial authorities. Tl
Now York Cniiirn'rcial Ilnllftin , for o
amnlc , maintainH that Iho fall in tl
prices of wheat , cotton , iron and oth <
staples can easily bo accounted for wit
out bringing silver into Iho qucstii
at all , the operation of nnlnr
laws being a sulliciont expltin
tion. This is undoubtedly true in r
spoct to wheat and cotton. It is we
known that the decline in the price
wheat has boon caused by the excraon
niirily lartro crop lust yea" and the gro
surplus carried ever to Uio present yea
If the price of wheat were in any en
affected by tlio price of silver it won
bo found conspicuous in Iho moveine
from India , but tlio price in that con
try lias not b on oxcapUon illy low. Tl
market in the United States , owing
the lack of foreign demand , has bci
practically independent of ether nni
kots and has boon unusually doprossi
because the supply has boon romarlcab
largo , exceeding the apparent doman
for foreign and elomustic uses. For tl
reason wheat has steadily landed dow
ward notwithstanding that silver h
increased slightly in value during t
past few months.
The cotton market docs not appear
bo any moro affected by the price of 6
vor than the wheat market. There 1
boon a decided advance in the price
cotton during the pwtfcw weeks , !
there has boon practically no change
the price of silver. The expectation
a short crop in this1 country has be

and demand have not boon porooptil
influenced by the price of silver , and I

Tin : dccroaso in railroad building d
