Supreme judges are human, and in a close question of law,on which other lawyers diffar, they may be expected to differ, but it is gratifying to observe that they do not diöer ou party lines. In the present case Republican and Democratic judges are found on both sides of the administration IiDe.

Justice Harlan is the senior member of the Supreme bench, lie was appointed in 1377. Chief Justice Fuller was appointed in 1S3S, Justice Gray in 1S31, Brewer in IS39, Brown in 1891, Shiras in 1302, White in 1894, Peckham in 1S93, McKenna in 1893. Justice White and Justice Peckham are .Democrats. All the others are Republicans. Notwithstanding tbs many ßided decisions of the supreme court, there are some facts of intertit concerning Porto Rico that are incontestibie. It is still a West India island in American waters and of great value, and it is an American possession for all time, with every prospect of future prosperity. The eolid facts in the case will outlive political or judical discussions. The flag will abide A current statement that Jay Cooke is writticg his memoirs, to be published after his death, will probably surprise many persons who have forgotten that be is still alive. The almost complete oblivion in which be is passing his old age he is now nearly eighty shows how rapidly we make history in this country. He was the great financier of the civil war, and for several years his name was on men's tongues of tener than that of any other financier of later or present times. He knew intimately three great secretaries of the treasury, Chase, Fessenden and McCulloch, be sides a great many other prominent men and his memoirs ought to be interesting. The decision means, briefly put, that Congress can govern "territory appurtenant and belonging to the United States' about as it pleases, That looks rather imperial, does it not? But Congress owes its existence to the constitution and the laws it passes for the United States must conform to the constitution. There is not much dacger, therefore, that the laws it passes for dependent or "appurtenant" territories will be repugnant to the spirit of the great charter of our republic. At any rate, we know that liberty hasjgoce on "broadening slowly down' in Great Britain during all the years of the growth of British colonial possessions. Indianapolis News. It will be remembered that some months ago when the president named a son of Judge Harlan, of the supreme court, for law officer of the Philippine commission, a large number of papers denounced the act as an open attempted to bribe tho judge to sustain the president's policy in regard to the attitude of the insular possessions to the United States. Such papers worked themselves into a condition of indignation, assuming that an associate justice of the supreme court could be influenced in respect to a great issue in law by the appointment of his son. To opinion of the supreme court has been rendered, and Judge Harlan appears among the minority that declared against what is known as the president's policy. The matter is of no consequence, except that it is a sort of confession on the part of those editors that they could be bribed to alter their opinions as sworn officers upon a question of grave importance by the giving of a 54,000 office to a son, James J. Hill, the railway magnate of the .Northwest, has said a good many things that deserve consideration. One of his observations is that the great commercial problem of this country is to get hold of the commerce of the Pacific ocean. Beyond the Pacific are the half-civilived, Lalffed millions of the Orient. Mr. Hill thinks that the first demand of the Orient will be for food and the simple staples of agriculture; that thoee millions will not begin with manufactured goods in great quantities, nor with luxuries at all. Their first great efforts will be to supply the primal want of food, and this country, with its present growth and tendency, is the one to supply this demand. In the next thirty years Mr. Hill believes our population will grow to 150,000,000 people, and that the bulk of increase will be in the Mississippi basin and beyond. He cays 100,000,000 people will be devoting their energies to the ' production of the three staples of trat 1c food, fuel and shelter, and to find a market for theee products will be the commercial problem. How shall the surplus be placed at the doors of the Orient? The contest will be between th Pacific on the one hand, and the Sue ? and Cape Horn on the other. Mr. HiH thinks the Pacific will win.

Mr. Bryan says Tillman will win "because he represents the man while McLaurin represents the dollar.'' Tillman represents no dollar. The nearest he comes to it is 45 cents.

President Jefferson, Jackson and Polk took a considerable part in the expansion of the United States, and all turned to congress for the legislation needed to 6et the wheels in motion in the new territory. If the time ever comes that a congress elected by the people cannot be trusted, nor the people themselves trusted to elect a better one, the country will indeed be past saving. But that time is far distant. The Chinese government has agreed to pay an indemnity to the Powers of 8315,000.000 the amount fixed by the latter, and the Chinese imperial government has issued a decree accepting the conditions imposed by the allies. . Ex-Lieutenant Governor Mortirnore Nye of Laporte, admits that if the Democratic party rids itself of the financial heresy of free silver he wili be a candidate for the nomination for governor on the Democratic ticket in 1901. Mr. Nye haa always been uncompromising in hid hostility to free coinage, It is estimated oy treasury officials that the amount collected undor the Dinglev law on imports from Porto Rico, wh;ch,under the decision of the supreme court, will have to be refunded to importers, will be about 82,000,000. It will take some time to fix the exact amount of these claims, but when ascertained congress will have to make an appropriation for their payment. Judge Robert S, Taylor, of Fort Wayne, will retain his position on the Mississippi river commission. It is now announced officially that Mr. A. W. Wishard, at present district attorney foi Indiana, will shortly be appointed solicitor for the internal revenue department at Washington, and Mr. Kealicg will succeed him as district attorney for Indiana, Thus it happens that Judge Taylor will not be disturbed. Ii EN ES IS OP THE PLATT AMENDMENT. In a speech made in Congress April 20, 1823, seventy-eight years ago, John Quincy Adams said; There are laws of political as well as of physical gravitation, and if an apple, severed by the tempest from its native tree, cannot choose but fall to the ground, Cuba, forcibly disjointed from its unnatural connection with Spain, and incapable of self-support, can gravitate only toward the Nortn American Union, which, by the same law . f nature, cannot cast her off from its bosom. In looking forward to the probable course of events for the short period of half a century it is scarcely possible to resist the conviction that the annexation of Cuba to our federal republic will be indispensable to the continuance and integrity of the Union itself. The r,ate Albert Compton. Albert Compton wbbse death was noted in theee columns Wednesday was born in Marshall county June 24, 1873, and went to Mishawaka four years ago. On July 4, 1893, he was married to Miss Nettie Reed. Besides the wife and brothers mentioned, be leaves one sister, Mrs. Maria Shaffer of Plymouth. The deceased was a member of the Knights of Pjthias. Mishawaka lodge, having charge of the final ceremony. Funeral at three o'clock last Thursday from the Christian church, Rev. W. W. Denham officiating, assisted by Rev. Mr, Hutchinson of Bourbon, EXTENSITE COKE OVENS. The Billion Dollar Steel Trust Investing: at Ed gem ore. 'A prominent attorney and ex-efficial of Lake county, who has been retained as local attorney by the billion dollar steel trust, yesterday while in this city, whose name is withheld by request, gave the first insight into the connection between the steel trust and the present negotiators for the purchase of the bulk of the bitumineus coal mines of Indiana According to this attorney, who has been acting as agent, the purpose of the steel trust is to erect at Edgemore what will be the most extensive coke ovens in the Country, equaliüg those of the Connellsville, Pa., coke regions. The chief reason for this is to. enable the company to supply coke to its steel mills at South Chicago, Joliet and Waukegan, without being compelled to pay the long railroad haul from Pennsylvania. Edgemore is ,a small station on the shores of Lake Michigan, just east of Whiting, and is the terminus of the Chicago, Lake öhor& Eastern railway, which is owned by the steel company. It was built only to haul coke and ore to the mills at South Chicago and Joliet and the finished product to the roads entering Chicago. The head and front of the coke deal is H. C, Frick, formerly president of the Carnegie Steel company and the H. C. Frick Coke company. It is designed by the purchase of the Indiana mines not only to save the railroad freight bills from Pennsylvania, but to procure coal at the minimum of cost Already houses are being erected at Edgemore for the accommodation of workmen, while a large three-story building has been finished for office purpose.

E, UaILEY AVHO KNEW KEOKUK in WAR TIMES. Comes Back to Visit the Scene of a Large Part of His Military Career, The Gate City, the ldading paper of Keokuk, Iowa, has a long article in its issue of May 30, from which we clip the following: There is visittng in Keokuk a gentleman who has a peculiar interest in Keokuis and likewise the city has a reciprocal interest in him, W. E. Bailey of Plymouth, Indiana, who was a member of the provost guard here during two years and who was 6ergeantof the guard for one year, is a jruest at the Eates hotel. He ha3 journeyed back to Keokuk after un absence of nearly thirty-seven years. He has come to revisit the scenes of a part of his military career and to hunt up some of the comrades who served with him. He was a prominent personage during a part of th9 moat exciting and stirring period of tha city's history, and is full of reminiscences of that time. Mr. Baüey came to Keokuk in the fall of 18C2 on the hospital boat and was in the hospital in the Leighton houpe, now known as the hotel Keokuk. He had been injured by a fall from his horse at Helena, his hip beirjg badly injured. He remained in the hospital until the eprieg cf 1SC3. He was etill incapacitated for active service. At that time the hospital guards were consolidated and the provost guard formed. Mr. Bailey was assigned to this guard and from the fall of 18G3 to the fall of 1804 ha was sergeant of the guard. His term of service having expired he was then discharged. Headquatrers were rented in the E. II, Hart rooms. The prison and the guard house as well as the headquarters of the provost guard were in tbe old building on the corner of Third and Exchange streets. The building still stands but the progress of trade has left the oid mark standing away from the center of the city's activities A that time, it was the center of affairs. 'The Newspaper Raid. When Mr. Bailey arrived here, Lieutenant Ball was commander of the post and was succeeded by Captain Willis. When the old Constitution office was raided and its presses and type thrown into the river there was intense excitement. This was early in 18G3. Ihere were rumors that in retaliation, some of the people opposed to the policy of The Gate City would make an attack upon this paper and destroy the plant. The paper was then established in the building on Second and Main Streets and the guard detailed a number of pickets to guard the office. Mr. Bailey was one of these and the special guard was maintained for several months. However, no overt attack was ever made upon the office, When here, there was a considerable amount of trouble in Tioga, 111,, and Mr. Bailey was one of those who was active in its 6uppressir.r, A man named Glass over there was at the head of a faction of southern sympathizers and reports reached here that there was a band of guerrillas in operation over there, A detail of soldiers was sect over and a number of the more prominent leaders were brought here under arrest, Later David Tooke, who preceded Mr, Bailey as provost sergeant, Mr, Bailey himself and a man named Holliday went over in citizens' clothes, and posing as stock buyers gained sufficient information to enable 'them to suppress the entire movement, Dr, Glass being finally killed. At the time of the threats against Tbe Gate City office, Mr. Bailey says that there were 300 soldiers, armed with loaded rifles prepared to suppress any such movement. Had a riot occurred, it would have been a bloody one. Henry Clay Dean, Mr, Bailey was provost sergeant at the time of the arrest of Henry Clay Dean here, The latter protested vehemently ovar his incarceration. He wrote long articles, strongly confederate in their tendencies, and begged that they be printed, but the sergeant would not permit this. Mr. Dean asked to b9 allowed to work, and this was granted him, many papers and records being in his hand gritting. Mr. Bailey Knew Judge Howell and the late Hon. S, M. Clark, He was also well acquainted with Judge Claggett. He was here when Major Curtis. a son ofGenertd Curtis, was buried, and visited hi9 grave yesterday. Tha changes are very marked since last he was here. At that time from one to fifty boats were at tbelevee almost all. the time and the business of thetown was from Water to Third streets on Main. On'ythe Estes hcuse is the same in appeaance, and even it seemed changed. How's This? We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. J.
