Important Cases tho Supreme Court VIII
Pass on Within . Few Weeks.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 6.-The Supreme Court
of the United States will meet next Mon
day for the October term. All the justices,
it Is thought, will be present. Nodeoisions
will be announced on that day, and after
the motions to admit attorneys to practice
are heard, etc, the court will adjourn to
pay it's respects to the President. in con-
tormity with its usual custom. The next
day. Tuesday, the court will begin the
regular call of cases on the docket, of which
there are 395. the largest number ever on
the docket at the beginning of the term.
There are many important cases that Will
come before the court for argument during
the present term. and q number of them
were advanced and set down for argument
on Monday. Oct. 1S, when they Will be
taken up in the order in which they were
advanced. The first case to be heard is that
of ex parte Thomas Henry Cooper. owner of
the schooner Sayward. brought to test the
question of the jurisdiction of the United
States over the seal fisheries of Behring
sea. The lottery cases are set down for
argument after the Sayward case is dis
posed of. These cases involve the constl-
tutionality of the recent anti-lottery legis-
lation.
Three of the cases advanced for hearing
on the 10Th involve questions bearing upon
the constitutionality of the Mckinley
tariff act of Oct. /, 1890. One of them Is
that Marshall Field d Co., appellants, vs..
the Collector Of the Port Of Chicago. The
firm imported goods on the 9Th of October.
1890 and duty was levied on them under
the Mckinley act. The firm .contended
that the goods were dutiable under the act
OF March 3, 1883, which it was insisted had
never been repealed. The oonstitutionality
of the Mckinley tariff act Is attacked on
the ground that it never passed the House
and Senate, but the bill that did pass the
House and Senate. and which included the
tobacco rebate section, never was pre-
Constitution. This section, 1T is contended,
constituted an essential part of the
tariff bill as finally agreed on in
conference, and the document signed by
the President as the Mckinley bill was
not in fact, 1t is held. the bill as 1t passed
the House and Senate. Consequently the
act is null and void. The case of Charles

New York Nctes.

NEW YORK, Dec. CIT is not only Wall
street that suffers from lack of ready
money nowadays. The legal medium of
circulation is uncomfortably scarce among
all classes of people. Tradesmen are heard
frequently to speak of the incongruity of
man rated as millionaire declaring him
self unable to pay boot, tailor or haber-
dashery bill. 1t is q fact that man may
have assets amounting to hundreds of
thousands of dollars, and actually be hard
pushed to pay his club dues. The other
day two richly dressed women drove in a
priv ate carriage to q large store on Twenty
third street where they were not known,
and between them were borely able to pro-
duce fifty cents, the deposit required on
some goods they wished kept for them.
The evolution of the umbrella is in the
direction of great beauty serviceability and
costliness, and a consequently frmer grasp
on the affections of It's owner. The COM
bination of rare wood, finely tempered
steel and extra fine silk that one sees now
adays in the hand of the fashionable mas
culine stroller on Broadway or Fifth ave-
nue. is a triumph of mechanical and artistic
skill, and is the object of the utmost solici-
tude to its possessor whenever it is out of
his sight. At the hotel or club one may
have his umbrella checked, and while he
dimes at a restaurant he can keep one eye
on it, but in the barber shop-aye, there's
the rub. One cannot yield himself to the
mercies of q keen edged razor in the hands
of an eunuied barber and keep an eye on
his umbrella at one and the same time-at
least one who values his life. So it had
come to pass that barber shops were re-
garded with extreme suspicion by gentle
men carrying valuable umbrellas. But
recently the situation has changed, owing
to the ingenuity, probably, of some one
who had lost a valuable umbrella in
barber shop. The mora deliberately
appointed tonsorial establishments are
quite up with the age which has pro-
duced the S24 parachute" You enter for

snow was SO thick that it was hard to
skate, but still we toiled slowly on, doing
the best we could. Suddenly we came

Lincoln's request in the summer of '64, and
declined it with joke, as he narrated the
story to a group of friends at little din
ner in Boston some years ago. he will tell
story both interesting and q most valuable
contribution to history. He has already
written a very brief account of this scene,
but in his memoirs he will probably tell it
in all its details. Had he accepted that
proposition he would have been nomina-
ted, and of course he, instead of Andrew
johnson, would have become president
an event which would have been of vast
consequence to the country.
Gen. Butler has been in some doubt as to
whether he should tel some of the inside
history of the great impeachment trial of
Andrew johnson, of which he was one of
the managers. If he decides in the afirma-
tive, as he probably will, a very important
chapter will be added to the history of that
sensational event.
Gen. Buffers experience in politics in
congress, his almost whimsical canvass for
governor OF Massachusetts,, when he was
defeated, and the other highly interesting
canvass which he personally conducted,
and which resulted in his election, pro-
duced many remarkable adventures, and
the anecdotes which he is able to tell there
of will not only be interesting in them
selves but will reveal side lights upon the
character OF public men which will be in
teresting and of value to history. There
are some of his experiences which will be
sure to give rise to contention, and that is
something which no man who has ever
lived more greatly enjoys than Gen. But
Ter. He is fair &ghter, but he is hard
one. Some idea can be obtained Of the
controversies likely to arise from the fact
that in a speech year or. two ago he init
mated that Admiral Porter on one occa-
sion had shown cowardice during naval
fight, and most heated controversy fol-
lowed. Probably nobody will take greater
delight in the publication of these volumes
than Gen. Butler himself, and it has
pleased him to learn from Publishers that
public interest in his memoirs is sure to be
so great that they feel authorized in offer
ing him very large pecuniary temptations
for the privilege OF publishing the book.
