THE POWER OF ADMIRALTY COURTS.
The claim is made that admiralty courts
have no power to administer the municipal law
when that is in conflict with the law of ma
tions. The idea advanced seems to be that
these are tribunals Of international arbitration,
which may annul laws of the sovereign Great
ing them, If they find that the sovereign has
transgressed the general law supposed to be
binding on all countries. Whatever color of
support authorities may give to this view where
the case is on the prize side Of the court, il is
wholly unfounded in its application to cases on
the instance side Of the court and still less is it
to be applied where the jurisdiction invoked and
exercised is, as it is here, in the enforcement of
municipal laws, and OF forfeitures and seizures
Hereunder.
After citing several authorities the brief con-
tinues:
The startling proposition that courts which
are organized under the laws OF q country are
not to be controlled by them is, therefore, seen
to find no support either in this country or in
England. The law Of nations may have an
effect upon the construction to be given to .
municipal statute in case of ambiguity. So far,
and only 90 far, do any Of the cases 60. When,
however, the construction Of . statute depends
upon the territorial Jurisdiction Of the SOW
ereign, and that jurisdiction Is concluded by
the decision Of the executive department Of the
nation, a. 1t 10 in this under the Constitu-
ton and laws OF this country, then there il no
| room for construction by the courts, and an
wholly irrelevant
No confederation whatsoever has been given in
this brief to the question Of international law
which il now and has been for the past six
years the subject Of diplomatic correspond
ence between Great Britain and the United
States with reference to the right Of this coun-
try to assert territorial Jurisdiction in Boring
Sea TO the extent Of protecting it, seal haheries
beyond the Smile limit ordinarily fixed a. the
boundary Of territorial juriedicti0n Of coun-
tries bordering ON the So unexpectedly in
cognisanos Of this court, and therefore do not
discus It.
For The rsasons dives, Il = submittsd that
the application for leave to ne their petition
for writ q prohibition should Be denied.

territory il not judicial but political ques-
ton, the determination Of which by the legis-
lative and executive departments Of any gov
| eminent conclusively binds the judges as
well as other officers, citizens, and subjects of
that government. This principle has always
been upheld by this court, and has been
affirmed under great variety Of circumstances.
And a large number Of authorities are cited
page 2l3, the same doctrine is sanctioned in q
quotation from the opinion Of Mr.. Justice Nc
Lean in Williams v. The Suffolk Insurance
Company Q3 Peters, 4l5- 400
''Can there be any doubt that when the ex-
ecutive branch Of the Government which il
charged with our foreign relations, shall in its
| correspondence with foreign nation assume q
| fact in regard to the sovereignty Of any island
or country, it is conclusive ON the judicial de-
| partmenH And in this view it is not material
| to determine. whether the Executive be right
or wrong 1t Is enough to know that in the
exercise Of his constitutional functions he has
decided the question. Having done this under
the responsibilities which belong to him. 1t u
obligatory ON the people and Government Of
the Union" I'm the present case, a. the Ex-
ecutive in his message and in his correspond
ence with the Government Of Buenos Ayres,
has denied the Jurisdiction which il has assumed
to exercise over the Falkland Islands, the fact
must be taken and acted ON by this court q
thus asserted and maintained"
See also State W. Wagner, (61 Ne. 17e-18l),
| and State vs. Dunnell g r. /. l27).
In brief the Judiciary does mot make
boundaries, II finds them. The political de-
| partments, the Legislative and executive, make
boundaries both in geography and IN
sovereignty.
The conrts can hear evidence, examine pa
pers, hnd the lines 90 fixed and adjudged, and
decree rieht:, public and private, with ref.
sdjudge them to be right or wrong.
| As in actual surveys by land surveyors the
| landmarks ere sometimes obscure and di6icult
TO ind, but when found the survey must con-
form. So with the courts; and fortunately the
action and correspondence Of ths political d.
partments here leave nothing 70 doubt

finds any evidence upon which the court below
might have properly founded its Jurisdiction,
it will not disturb its finding.

has been special providence TO many
weary mother, or to the woman OF
few early advantages and large aspir-
atoms In our great cities women's
clubs have been the first to institute
social reforms and to call public atten-
ton to crying evils. They have con-
trolled superficial and selfish social Gus
toms until such customs have become
obsolete. In home government and the
training of children they long ago
struck the keynote of a grand choral of
reform which will become more and
more harmonious as the years rolls by.
Out of the selfish ego" they have
evolved the progressive I'VE" They
have strengthened two weak hands

a hundred; they have taken dull uncut
gem Of thought and polished it until it
has been fit for the purest setting in re-
fined gold; they have mastered great

the grandest work of all has been to
