The Supreme Court of the United
States, last Monday, decided tn,
cases of the States of New Hamp
shire and New York VS.. the State O
Louisiana and her executive off
GERS. These were suits on repudi.
ated Louisiana bonds which in.
dividual bondholders in New
Hampshire and New York trans
ferred to their respective States, in
order that the States might bring
original suits in the Supreme Court
against the State of Louisiana. TIE
suits were dismissed. Chief JUS
tice Waite rendered the decision, in
substance as follows: "This court
holds that the suits are in effect not
suits of the States of New Hamp-
shire and New York, but suits of
individual citizens of these States
against another State; that tie
States of New Hampshire ard New
York are merely endeavoring to act
US collecting agents for their citi-
zens, and this cannot be allowed.
The judicial power of tue United
States does not extend to suits

against one of the States of the
Union. The actions cannot be sus- |
ained, and the bills are dismissed. +"

The Brazilians. A correspondent of
the San Francisco Chronicle de-
scribes Brazilian food as follows:
Outside of few houses and hotels
in Rio, Brazilians eat the same kind
OF food at every meal. There are
usually placed OH the table, either
at breakfast or dinner, dish of
boiled pork, chiefly fat; dish of
scraps of meat boiled in pork fat;
sometimes another dish of stswed
scraps, with sara "a sort of iam)

black beans, stswed in pork fat; u
dish of maize. dried and powdered;
q dish of rice boiled in pork fat;
and sometimes G dish Of powdered
,uandioca root. There is no bread;
ihere are no vegetables, except the
cabbage, black beans and YAM"

echoes Of the Iroquois banquet and
the ghost Of the tariff which was

Harrison, are haunting the dreams of
more than one of the Invited

clearly than the late debate on the

lessly divided on the question of the

protectionist and will bid for votes on
that ground, has however, never per.

way Of good political bargain. HI,

vote for Fernando Woods tariff bill
indicates that Mr.. Randall Ia first Of

Abram Hewitt, he Is q prominent
democrat and he cannot be ignored by
his party. Like Mr.. Hewett, he Ia
personally interested In the mainten.
ance OF o high tariff. Mr.. Randall is q
strong candidate about whose candidacy
