THE DECISION OF THE INSULAR CASES.
New York Tribune: The decisi.oa.pf the supreme court in the insular cases is a decided victory for the administration, and make? possible the holdinj of territory without incorporating- it into the United States and extending to it our domestic tariff laws and domestic system of government. That was the important question at issue. It involved the power of this country to guard itslinterests in distant quarters of the globe and govern by the rule of expediency the peoples brought under its sovereignty. The doctrine which affirmed this right was denounced as "imperialism,".and the exercise of it by congress in the passage of the Foraker law imposing duties on goods carried froji Porto Rico into the United States and taken from the United States to Porto Rico was contested as unconstitutional and brought in review before the supreme court. The court holds that so^much at least of the law as it passed upon yesterday is constitutional, and that the uniformity of imposts prescribed by the constitution does not prevent the imposition by act of congress of a separate tariff on territories not made by it an integral part of the United States.
It is impossible, without the full texts of the opinions in the several cases raising different points, to determine exactly the view of the supreme court on all phases of this great constitutional question. In one Bet of cases the decision is against the government, but apparently on 3. question of statutory construction. On the other two sets it is in favor of the government. The tariff history of Porto Rico divides itself into three periods: First, that of military occupation prior to the ratification of the treaty of Paris: second, that between the ratification of the treaty and the passage of the Porto Rican tariff law, and, third, the subsequent period with that law in force. The government is upheld in the use of its taxing power as exercised in the first and third periods, while the duties imposed in the second period are declared to have been illegal.
While the island was foreign territory under military occupation the imposts levied there on imports from the United States were valid. When, however, Porto Rico became territory of the United States by the ratification of the treaty, the court holds that in the absence of any special law imposing duties none could be collected. On just what grounds the collection of duties on imports into Porto "Rico in that period is declared invalid does not yet clearly appear but the levy in the United States of the duties,imposed by the Dingley act is held to be illegal because that act applies solely to goods "imported from foreign countries," and the court says that Porto Rico is not a foreign country in the meaning of that law. There being no other law on the statute books taxing these goods, the levy was illegal and must be refunded. In the third period a law was on the Btatute books specifically applying to Porto Rico, taxing goods taken there from the United States and brought here from Porto Rico. That law the supreme court by its decision in the Downes case holds to be constitutional in taxing imports from Porto Rico. Tne opinion in the case involving the taxation of goods taken from the United States to Porto Rico has not yet been handed down.
This decision]^ seems to leave the United States a free hand to solve the practical problems in its dependencies unhampered by our domestic tariff system. The -cases decided against the government £do not hamper it. The legality [or illegality of certain particular duties^ as affected by the wording of changeable statute law is of no consequence so long as the power to make laws imposing duties on commerce between the United States and its outlying dependencies is affirmed. The broad principles contended for by the Republican »party in the passage of the Foraker act is 'upheld, and the precedent established which, unless modified materially Jby the (decision concerning duties levied in Porto Rico on goods from the'_United."JStates, makes possible the maintenance of the promised "open door" to the world's commerce in the Philippines Sand its complement, the "open door" »to lour own commerce within the various European spheres of influence la China. The supreme oourt has amply sustained the adminis
tration in the essentials of its Por.to Rican and Philippine policy, and this approval is especially significant because the court has been discriminating and has overruled some of the administration's minor acts as based on incorrect interpretations of the statutes. It is also significant in its non-partisan character, one of the Democratic justices having taken the side of the government on the main question, while two Republicans joined the dissenting minority. The great victory has been won for this nation which insures it power to exercise its sovereign author ity as necessity may require, without incurring the obligation to bring all sorts and conditions of men into the close circle of our Union as present necessary beneficiaries of our tariff laws and subsequent participants in our government.
Joyless Judy.
Steve Judy has entered suit in the circuit court for a divorce from his wife,.M^y L. Judy. This couple have been having a regular Punch and Judy time of it for quite a while and finally seek surcease from sorrow in the courts. The complaint was so rocky that the plaintiff's attorneys would not leave it on file, but took it away and put it on ice '.
A Vandal's Act.

Pnttl's Big Prices:
Mme. Adelina Patti, now 57 years of age, for many years past stood at the head of the music financiers of her set and at the present time her terms for concerts in London are $2,000. Her record for a single twelvemonth is $350,000, and for a single performance $11,000. Buenos Ayres is the field in which the last named harvest was reaped.
Poll Tax in California,
Poll tax is collectible only from those between the ages of 21 and 60 In California. The fact that a man is an alien does not exempt him from the tax. Under the law an employer is, upon notice from the tax collector, required to hold out the amount of'tax from employes' wages.—San Francisco Call.

Comment I And Story.
Lew Willis: "When my father died he left us a nice farm inj Missouri and for the last month or so we have been deviled to death by people wishing to to buy the place. Last week a fellow who deals in real estate offered us twice as much as father had ever asked for the farm, and I now see what the matter is. The papers state that oil and gas are being struck all around our farm and speculators are buying or leasing everything in sight. I think the land is worth just as much to us as anybody else and we are going to hold it for awhile, anyway."
A Physician: "Some doctors rail about how unwholesome and how indigestible butter is. Why, I like to eat butter jubt like any other jfgood thing and I always finish up my mealjby eating apiece about the size of a walnut. I believe that the salt in the butter stimulates digestion. Butter should be good and salty to be healthful. We are just beginning to realize the merits of salt and there is no telling how much good will develop from this simple seasoner." •. ..-.-.v.-..'
J. A. Tevebaugh: "Railroadlife has its fascinations, and it appears a grand thing to be able to run one of the monster iron horses that annihilate space, but it also has its drawback. For several years I was a locomotive engineer, and one day, coming in from a run I saw a fellow engineer ground up to pulp in the yards. It sickened me and I had a presentment right there that that would some day be my fate. Well, I climbed down out of my engine, went into the superintendent's office and tendered my resignation to take effect at once. I have never been sorry that I did it either."
Reason Heath, of this city, isn't disturbed by the big oil boom at Beaumont, Texas. In fact he is very complacent over it. He owns 700 acres of land within five miles of the gushers and he secured it several years ago for 810 an acre. He is now being bombarded with offers for it and can treble or quadruple his money any day he sees fit. ,.
Citizen: "People hereabouts are spraying their fruit trees more than they used to and as a consequence have better fruit. The thing to do the spraying with is a force pump and garden hose. This gets it on good and thick and does the work. Last year I bought a Rochester sprayer, paying about $5.50 for it and the traps that went with it. It was a dismal failure in every particular and fruit growers will do well to shy at all alluring advertisements of patent sprayers. They are fakes. Get an old force pump and be happy."
Trustee Breaks: "Governor Durbin has notified me that on June 5th I must turn over to the prosecutor the names of all who have not at that time paid their dog tax. Under the law the prosecutor must institute action against the direlicts at once, and from present prospects there will be the biggest bunch of them that ever danced to unpleasant music in these parts. Their remissness will cost them about $12 for every dog and if they can't pay right up they go to jail. This dog law is chain lightning and I guess it will strike a lot of people."
Lone Term Serving Railway.
Rufus Henry Holbrook of Boston has been connected with the street railway service of that city for fiftyeight consecutive years. He began at the age of 15 as a bellboy on the old stage coaches which ran from Charlestown to Brattle street. He has been driver, conductor, transferman,switchman and watchman.
