ties between the United States and
other nations. No it has been held
by the United States Supreme court
that "every treaty made by the au-
thOrity Of the United States is supe-
rior to the laws and constitution of
any individual State. If the law of a
is contrary to Il treaty, it is void"
Hence it is strenuously claimed
that all alien land laws are void alb
initio. Indeed the national platforms
of various parties have frequently con-
tanned planks appealing to congress
for the regulation of this and other
questions relating to alienage. Both
the st. Louis and Ocala platforms of
the Farmers Alliance contained
planks of this kind, while Democratic
statesmen, from Calhoun to George, as
well as Republicans from Webster to
Edmunds, have been emphatic in their
opinions on the paramount authority
of Federal jurisdiction as against state
Legislation in matters affecting our
treaties with other countries.

OCCASIONAL!

THE STATESMAN regrets to learn
that Judge J. M. Duncan and Senator
Cone Johnson recently came to actual
blows on the streets of Tyler. The
senator from Smith, it appears, init
mated rather broadly that the gen.
eral attorney of the far famed In
ternati0nal and Great Northern re-
ownership, was not builtin accordance
with the G. Washington cherry tree
model. The general attorney filed a
bill Of exceptions. on the Websterian
countenance the senator from Smith
and the plaintiff, who had now be-
come defendant by virtue of Il counter
charge, introduced evidence in re-
buttal on the classic Roman nose of
the general attorney. At this stage of
the proceedings the court was pre-
vailed upon to take recess, during
which the cause was submitted to II
board of arbitration, which recom-
mended that it be withdrawn from the
docket and costs shared equally. Then
the war clouds floated out of sight,
the door Of the temple of Janus came
to with bang, Beladonna hung her
spear. on the hat rack and everybody
"took suthin."

WE HAVE orr INNINGS.

Every dog has his day and it is now
the South's turn to say to New En-
gland, the law abiding, puritanicaI
New England, "Sweep their own
doorstep clean before you call others
deiiled."
That country which has so long
been pointing at the South as the
home of the desperate and the muir
derer, which has been printing tales
of unheard of atrocities committed in
the South, is just now enjoying lit
tie of the medicine it has been adj
ministering to the South in the shape
of free advertising on account of the
miserable, cold blooded murder of q
woman in New Hampshire. The
murder was committed several weeks
ago and the murderer was not cap
tured until day or so ago. He was
found hid in the barn of the father
of the girl he murdered under
twenty feet of hay, armed with siX-
shooters and prepared to sell his lie
dearly. He stood off 1900 people until
guaranteed protection from the mob
by the officers of the law, was then
handcufIed and marched through a
double line of pursuers who wanted
to gaze at the prisoner.
If this Mr.. Frank Amy had lived
i'm the South instead of New England,
what deal we would have read
about "a Characteristic Southern In
cident!n What bowls would have
gone up from that blood drinker, that
apostle of new crusade of hate and
vengeance against the South-Elliott

But all this did not occur down
South. 1t happened in the State of

Chandler. This "holy terror" is not a
trough backwoodsman,n but fellow
who surprised college students by the
extent of his classical knowledge.

INSTEAD of total yield of 525, OOO,'
900 bushels, as estimated by the De-
partment of Agriculture before har,
vest, the wheat crop will reach nearly
or quite 600, 100000, and give more
than 2OO,OOO,OOO bushels for export
There is a foreign need for every
bushel of it at fair price and if il
is not crowded on the market toe
rapidly present prices will probably
be maintained. The crop was uni

the money received for it will be
