WASHINGTON. May 90.-The most striking
feature OF the work OF the Supreme Court OF the
United States during the term ended last Fri
day was the large number and variety Of cases
involving o construction Of the inter State
commerce clause Of the Federal Constitution.
Another feature was the largo and increasing
number OF habeRs corpus cases before the court.
Indeed, this latter class OF cases came before
the court with such frequency that Justice
Miller. in an opinion on one the last day OF the
term, was moved to remark with dry sarcasm
that the case was another one OF the frequent
instances OF late in which 1t was sought on all
sorts Of pretexts to make the Supreme Court
pass upon every motion for writ OF habeas
corpus that could be devised By counsel. The
