THE WORLDS MOST POWER
Full TRIBUNAL.

The highest court in the United
States, whose centennial commemoration
is Just over, holds a unique place in our
form Of government and one not found
in any other governmental system. 1t
yields a power greater than is exercised
by any other Judicial tribunal in the
world. In no country Of Europe or the
East has any court a right to make or
unmake the supreme law Of the land, to
limit the ~prerogative of the sovereign,
to control the powers of the Legislature
TO shape the form Of government.
These functions are exercised by the
Supreme Court Of the United States. 1t
holds a power above that OF the chief
magistrate OF the nation, superior to
that Of Congress, higher than that OF
any State. and equaled only by that
which madecr can amend the Constitution
II can enlarge or limit the prerogatives
Of the President or the powers of Con-
gress. 1t can change the relations be-
tween the State and the nation. IL car
extend or restrict either the central
power or State sovereignty. In short,
it can make or unmake the constitutions
law Of the country. 1t can INTRODUCES
radical changes into our form Of govern
ment. Not only can the Supreme Cour'
WELD these vast powers, ii has Ions
done so and may long continue to do 30

New York Tribune, Feb. 10; The

stance Of the effectiveness OF their dis
cipline yesterday morning, when. upon
the first intimation that the asylum was
on fire, q gong sounded, and the chill.
dren began to file in regular and orderly
columns and by q rapid march out Of the
building. Within four minutes the
house was vacant. Four hundred chill.
dren had been gathered 10 the asylum
yard. Fortunately the FIRE proved to be
easily controlled. The great element Of
danger as well to the building as to hu
mar life, was removed with those who
in another minute or two might have

cellent institution deserve to be warmly
commended for their GOODNESS, good

wHAr-eoNE ALREADY.

Here is q queer report from Washing
ton-that the Ways and Means Com.
mittee, who were going to reduce taxa.
tion, or more accurately speaking cut
off revenue. in various ways, begin to
discover that all the revenue will be
needed to come somewhere near balanc-
ing the coming expenditures. The COM
mittee have looked at the bills propos.
ing new expenditures, demanded by the
party and promised, and have come to
the conclusion that there will be no sur
plus. There may even be need for addi-
tional revenue, which means additional
taxes.
The repeal Of the tobacco tax, says
q wise person, Is certain, "unless it is
found that the revenue cannot be
spared" Ali
According to the Treasury report, the
estimated income for the year lS90-el
will be 1886. 0O0. 900; the estimated ex-
penditures, excluding the already largely
overpaid sinking fund, will be 1922, 000,.
900. leaving an estimated surplus Of
over s92, 600. 900, which the poor Ways
and Means Committee see is already
mortgaged for "liberal appropriations, "
so that they doubt if they can even spare
the tobacco tax. All right.

wtndom and silver Bullion.

Secretary Window will in a few days
appear before the House Committee on
Coinage, Weights and Measures and ex-
plain why he insists On having in his sill
YER bullion certificate bill a provision
giving him power to suspend the pur.
chase Of bullion at any time. This
clause in the measure has been severely
attacked during the past few days by
sx- Representative Symes, who has made
the statement that should the bill be-
come a law with this provision silver
would be degraded to a ommon com.
mercial commodity and mining interests
practically ruined, as it will make it
easy for the Secretary Of the Treasury,
for public or private reasons, to stop the
purchase of silver at any time. Mr..
Window says it is positively a necessity
TO have this proviso in the bill, because
the bulls and bears of the great money
centers of the world may combine to
push up the market or crowd j. down
for the purpose of getting a "corner "
IN silver and making the United States
pay for il. He says with this power he
can stop any bear or bull movement at
any time.

Some days ago q number Of women
in Lathrop, Mo-, decided that the most
effective method Of promoting temper
ance was to destroy all the whisky they
could lay their hands on. They visited
a number of saloons, knocked in the
heads Of whisky and beer barrels and
poured their contents into the streets.
They do not appear to have encountered
much opposition at the time, but the
keepers of the saloons were taking notes
all the time. The result Of the note
taking is that about fifty women are liza

THE PAIRS OF 1879 AND OF Issa.

The opportunity which is offered by
the occurrence Of the fourth centenary
Of the discovery Of America, is q
which the nation ought to seize for CIV
ing . strong forward impulse to the SEN
timent Of American nationality, writes
General Frances A. Walker in the Feb.
ruarv Forum. Men have said, and not
foolishly, that the war OF secession
never could have occurred ct all had it
been postponed until after 1876. II is
certain that the Centennial exhibition
was a mighty force making. not for GEN.
tralizatiou, but for national unity. The
acquaintance which was formed at Phila-
delphia in that year between widely
sundered sections and classes, has had q
prodigious influence upon the subse-
auent life OF the country. Yet the cele-
bration Of 1876 was but 8 trivial thing
in this respect. to what the celebration
Of 1892 may be made, il properly inau'
eurated and carried on, with the pres
tiee and the Of the now most
powerful nation upon earth. The Phila'
delphia enterprise was in its inception
almost wholly Of local interest. during
the first n~inety-eight days the number
Of admissions was 8. 100, 526; during the
remaining sixty.one days the number
was g. 40, GAO. A large portion OF our
people did not find out until the exhibi-
tion was well nigh at its close that they
greatly cared to go. An even larger
portion did not find this out at all until
il was too late. But to-day the minds
Of our people are prepared to take all
that may be offered; and the celebration
of 1892 will begin where that OF 1876
left off; or rather it will begin with q
prestige and a force derived, not merely
from the unlimited success of the Phila-
delphia exhibition, but from the fame
which that success has acquired through
the revolving years.

Nobody dreamed that the Louisiana
Company was behind this scheme, but 1t

psny and then sell out bag and baggage
10 the Zimmons-Morris New Orleans
outfit. But the Supreme Court upset
this law by declaring 1t unconstitutional,
and then for the first time the Smart
Alexis learned that the constitution pro-
hibited lottery charters. At the last
session Of the Legislature, a year ago, a
bill was passed for an election to amend
the constitution in respect to lotteries.
and at the same time a bill introduced
in both Houses to incorporate the Ne
vada Lottery Company as soon as the
election should be held. By this time,
however, il had leaked out that the Ne
vada Lottery scheme was a mere sell.out
affair in the interest Of the Louisiana
Company, and indignation burned fierce
ly in the breasts Of the twenty Senators
and forty members Of the Nevada Leg
islature. The idea that they should

scheme, without being let in On the bed
