CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER'S OPINIONS.
next called upon Chief Justice Fuller. l
found him at his residence on Massachusetts
avenue, and chatted with him for hall an hour
as TO the condition of the court and its Dusl'
ness. He objected to being quoted in an inter
view, but allows me to use the substance OF MS
conversation, which is as follows:
He stated that it had been apparent Tor years
that the Supreme Court was OvercroWued, anu
that without going into detail he thought the
recommendation by the President in his mes
sage should be acted upon by Congress and an
intermediate court created. He has held TINS
view, he said, for the past 10 or II years. he
spoke of the impossibility OF the supreme
Court taking care of its cases. stating tnat
there were 1900 cases on the docket and that
it takes three and a half years before case
can be reached. The best" said he, that
can be expected of the Justices at present IS TO
dispose of as many cases as are added, Whch,
of course, leaves the same number always
pending"

Duty on HIDES.

Under the terms Of the Mckinley bill,
hides are taken from the free list and put
on the duuable list at 10 per cent. IL is re-
ported that the members Of the Massachu-
sets delegation in Congress are very much
''incensed' by this apparent indifference TO
the interests Of their constituents, many Of
whom are engaged in forms Of manufacture
that are greatly benefited by free hides.
Some years ago, when duty was placed
upon hides. the Congressman who then rep
resented the Bay State in the lower House,
went actively to work, and, by the innu.
ence which they brought TO bear, had the
duty removed. IL il not surprising that the
present delegation should be very much
displeased at finding their circumstances
SO openly disregarded in the Mckinley bill,
and the sting Of their displeasure is, no
doubt, very much increased by the state
ment that the Republican members OF the
Ways and Means Committee decided 70
place duty on hides amer reaching the
conclusion that il was better, from a poliii-
cal standpoint, to conform TO the demands
OF the West. with reference TO this matter.
than to the wishes Of Massachusetts.
Very probably they thought that all the
chances were in favor Of that State remain
ing In the Republican ranks whether hides
were made dutlable or not. On the other
hand, there was such discomfort in the
Western states that unless every means
were employed 10 relieve the depression pre-
yailing there, especially among those who
derive support nom land, in one form o,
another, the prospect Of Republican success
N the next Congressional aud Presidential
elections would decline to a still lower

THE soorcH-IRIsH CONGRESS.

Thousands " persons in this country will
be interested i'm the second Congress Of the
~coich-Irish Society Of America, which will
meet at Pittsburg next May %. Among
the most sturdy elements of the second wave
of migration 10 America in colonial times
were the fiery, indomitable, perseyering and
shrewd race combining the strongest
features Of the Scotch and Irish.
They occupied parts of New York, pennsyl
vlnia, Maryland Virginia, notably, the fair
valley portion which was natural high
way for their progress into the Carolina,
and further South, and have been foremost
in every movement for liberty and enlight-
eminent ever since. Overlooking the deeds OF
the great mass of the race, the
history Of the United States would
lose much Of its solid glory were the strug-
giles and victories Of great Scotch-lrish
Americans omitted, and as this hardy peo-
pie have penetrated every part OF the coun-
try. and have mingled their blood Will
other Americans, the Congress will ap-
peal to the hearts Of the whole country.
The objects Of the society are to write the
history OF the race in this country, and TO
promote closer social relations among its
members. Ii is non-partisan and non-sec-
tartan, and the social organization Of men
in all sections belonging to great race
and inheriting the same traits and tradi-
tions, cannot but be Of material importance
in perpetuating those ideas Of American in
situations Of freedom which Scotch-lrish
did so much TO assert so successfully at the
start, and which they have ever since yigor-
Ously upheld.
