There is trouble between the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and one of the Associate Justices. The probabilities are now that every case coming before the Court will evoke an opinion on both sides. It is a nice state of affairs for a great State like California. The whole raft of them had better f the next election and give . ’ will agree among themselves, and who are competent to keep up the business that is brought beforethem. Garoutte, one of the Associate Justices, echoes the sentiment of the people of the State when he says the Chief Justice is too slow for his position, and the result is that injury is done to all who bave business in the Court. No wonder the Associate Justices are indignant when they know that the business could be kept up and they could draw their salaries each month, were it not for the dilatory manner in which the Chief Justice conducts the cases. It is of common notoriety that Beatty is a slow-poke, and like a piece of machinery has to make just so many revolutions before be can accomplish anything. He isa good judge in many respects, but he should “get a move on.” Like to be Taken In. In the language of P. T. Barnum, the. us off people like to be hambugged. The .

I replied very coldly to salutation, which only made him more anxious to know me. He began to cial satisfaction until one day I said that I had come for a change of air. With the same kind of air in the United States a few miles away. this was, of course, absurd, and he concluded, asI intended he should, that I was there for the same reason he was, but I plied him with no questions. Finally, in his impatience, he burst out with: *« ‘What's the use of keeping up this pretense longer? I know and you know that we are both on the same errand down here. It is true, .as you say, we can’t live over there’—pointing toward the country over the border. ‘Let’s own up and have done with the farce.’ So we confessed to each other, he telling me all about his crime, which I knew already, and I telling him all about my imaginary iniquity. “That was as far as we got for sick, and we both acknowledged that it would be almost pleasanter to give ourselves up and serve out our terms than . ca) to stay there the rest of our lives. I once or twice hinted that I was ready to do 80. But he wasn’t, and I knew that no ordinary inducement would’ get him where he could be taken. But hs had no opportunity of investing his money, and his cupidity naturally forced him to see that he had made a very poor bargain if all he was to get out of his rascality was to sit and spend it slowly in that little hole of a Mexican town. “‘] bad already interested him with my stories of fortunes that had been made in lucky mine investments, and told him I knew of one rich deposit which I had never reported to any one, intending to invest the amount of ‘my forgery in its development if I could get some more to put with it. I told him it was in an out of the way locality in southern Arisona, and that we could get there without detection if we would go on foot or burro back and avoid the railroads. Finally he concluded that he was willing to take the risk if I would and go and look at the property. The rest was easy. I wrote at once for an officer to be ready to head while crossing the Colorado river. I threw off my pretended apprebension, declared that we were safe from all inand that we might as well terference take tt easy.
