HOW SUPREME COURT JUSTICES STUDY.
,,.,.,on lotion in Tho PHILADELPHIA Telegraph.

Washington letter in The Philadelphia Telegraph.
From time to time there TO the attention OF the
sunrme Justices something relating to every brinch
NJ human endeavOr. The rights OK every man whch
he guards most carefully are those relating to the pnsi
ne or occupation by which he earns his living DIS
nnfes upon these rights lead TO law SHIFTS and out OF
Then, grow the supreme Court cases and In consider
inc them the Justices must learn something OF the trade
or profession of the mechanical or the scientific point
Involved Justice Lamar said, after making very
"arefnl stydy of q patent the other day. that lie
had learned something he never knew anything about
before: he had learned all about the eltsse,s ana
scans and bands OF corset He had learned all about
the different stitches used and OF the number OF seels
and where they should 80 to support The female FORM
lie had almost learn the corset trade In order TO de-
liver a proper opinion in the case. and nc found IL
quite interesting Thus the Justices have to acquire
ali sorts of mechanical and scientific knowledge In order
10 understand all the cases that come before them
There are great land lawyers great railroad lawyers,
LAWYERS who make speciality OF patents, and some
who know all about the marine law but the Justice OF
the supreme Court must be all these. and more; his
powers must be universal he must deal with all tho
branches Of the law. and with the laws of oil the
states The supreme Court does not divide its abors,
ono taking patent railroad cases etc. but,
though one Justice is named by the Chief Justice to
write ont an opinion case, the case itself must be
thoroughly studied by every member Of the court.
They consider the together after having studied IL
carefully each by himself and they all discuss 1t and
they all vote upon IT,

Special TO the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Oct. 26.-The
boycott instituted by the Texas Travel
ers' protective association against such
roads as refuse to sell drummers 1000
mile tickets at two cents mile Is now
in full blast. S. A. Brown of Houston,
in circular letter mailed TO merchants
of this city ten days since, declared the
San Antonio and Arkansas Pass was the
only road in Texas which refused the
rate. Inquiries wired by the local road
have been answered. They show that
the Southern Pacific has refused the
rate, that the international and Great
Northern has refused the rate, that the
Houston and Texas Central has refused it
aud also the Gulf, Colorado aud
Santa Fee. The replies wired by the
general passenger agents of the Hous ton
and Texas central and the Gulf, Colo
RADIO and Santa Fee also show that sim
liar boycott has been instituted against
these lines. Merchants in towns along
the roads have received circulars iden-
teal in form and substance with those
sent TO San Antonio. The result of this
matter will he this: Unless the Texas
travellers protective assoc alton and Pres
ident Brown pull in their hor us, their
ability to sell goods in numerous Texas
towns and cities will be seriously i'm
paired. A number of merchants inter
viewed here to-day express great
Indignation at the associations

do not believe in the boy
colt al a means of defense or offense
and will not iudorse a set of men who re-

clare that every railway in Texas except
the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass has
granted the two-cent rate for 2000- mile
tickets, and the passenger agents of
other lines in their denial are simply

The Public Kicks.

There is a general kick against the
Texas and Pacific on account OF the non
arrival on time of the special trains from
Dallas, loaded with people who come
over TO see the Last Days of Pompeii.
Saturday night the special train from
Dallas, due here at 1850 p. IN. did not
arrive until S:45, long after the per-
Torrance had commenced. There were
fully 500 people on this train, who missed
the exhibition on account of its being so
late. A gentleman, in speaking of the
matter in q crowd at the PIckwick hotel,
said that it would not be so bad If it &C.
Cured only one time, but that as it had
occurred three times in as many days, 1t
was a little too tough. 1t Is possible that
the delays are unavoidable. but. as the
gentleman remarked, they are pretty
tough on the public.
