SHORT ON JUDGES.
Important Cases to Be Deferred in
the Supreme Court.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-It is expected
that there will be a postponement of
ali the very important cases before the
supreme court which were expected to
come up at the beginning of the October
term, which opens Monday. Tie Say
ward case, the cases involving the valid
ity of the Mckinley tariff act, the lot
terry cases and others, which are of Suf-
ficient Importance to require that they
should be considered by the full court.
OF at least by substantially full court,
will go over till late III November. The
reason given for this is that there will
be at least two of the justices absent
and possibly three.
Justice Gray, who has been i'll with
typhoid fever. will not be able to at
tend, and the chief justice is expected
to remain away on account of the Seri-
Gus illness of his daughter in Chicago.
The latest dispatch received from him
stated that her condition was critical.
but that they had not yet given up all
hope of her recovery. Her death. how
ever, is feared momentarlly. Justice
Bradley is still ill, but, though unable
to get out of bed, yesterday he wrote a
note stating that he would be on hand
at the meeting of the court on Monday.
NOTWITHSTANDING his extreme age. JUS
tice Bradley has an extraordinary
amount of pluck, and will probably be
in his seat on the bench when the court
opens. The chief justice and Justice
Gray will be absent, however, and the
docket is being prepared with the idea
that the ordinary routine cases will be
proceeded with, disregarding the special
assignments. There have been about
fifty cases below the average filed for
this term thus far. but that is not at
tributed to the new law authorizing the
circuit court of appeals, since the judges
of that court have not yet been APP

TRADE OUTLOOK.
Dun's Review Reports business
HEnDrOV ing.

NEW YORK Oct. Or G. Dun's weekly re-
view of trade will say: From all parts of the
West and South come adViceS that business
is gradually improving, and the improvement
is felt III Eastern centers. There is still Il
most encouraging absence in any trade of
that speculative excitement and Over-confi-
dence which is so often presage of disaster.
Purchases ire governed by unusual conserY-
atism and yet are large in volume. Failures
are rather numerous, but are in nearly all
cases the results of long continued COM
mercial strain since the foreign disasters of
last November.
1t is true that prices of nearly all manu-
featured products are low and The margin
for profit very narrow, while the competition
is severe. But the volume of trade is larger
than in any previous year, in spite of the
fact that some branches of business are re-
tarded- 1t it also true that collections in
some quarters are slow, but the latest reports
from various sections are on the whole more
favorable.
Boston reports good business and ample
supplies of money. AT Cincinnati and Cleve-
land fair activity is noted, and at Chicago
trade thus far this year exceeds that Of all
previous years, sales of clothing and shoes
less than year ago. The weeks re-
ceipts of wheat are four times
last years, of rye ten times, and of wool
double. with increase in dressed beef and
hides, but decrease in other articles Bus
mess is improving at Omaha and at Mime
aDolis, where lumber advices report unprec-
edented sales ana flour mills are fully en-
ployed, the output last week being the largest
on record. At st. Louis the demand for
money shows strong trade in most lines. At
Kansas City good weather and steady i'm
provement; also at Denver.
At the South the improvement is also gem
eral, and heavy receipts of cotton ore noted
at Savannah, Charleston, Galveston and New
Orleans. The pause in stock speculation
'hnders the placing of securities for rail
road extensions and improvements, but
is nevertheless healthy. Speculation
in breads,uffs has been less active
but wheat has advanced nearly &c with sales
of p, 600, 600 bu, while corn has declined Ac
and oats 1ec. Cotton is slightly stronger and
oil &c higher; but coffee has fallen l4c and
lead is a shade lower.
The treasury has made but slight change
in the supply of currency. With large re-
ceipts of gold since Oct and more coming,
the shipments to the interior have also been
lessened for the moment, but markets at
Chicago, st. Louis and other Western points
show n stronger demand, indicating that
larger shipments from the East will presently
be required. On the whole, the outlook for
industrial progress is decidedly satisfactory.
The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last week number 240
as compared with a total of go for the last
week. Corresponding week of last year the
figures were 215.

A NOVEL CONTEST.
Type-Setting Machines to Be Crit
ically Tested.

CHICAGO, Oct. "a special commit
tee of the American Newspaper Pub
fishers association, consisting of Fred
erlck Driscoll, of st. Paul; E. 81. Woods,
of Boston, and Maj. w. j. Richards, of
indianapolis, will conduct a type-setting
machine contest during the coming
week in this city. The machines which
will compete are the Mergenthaler Limo
MILAN type-setting machine, and the
ST. John rypobar. Commencing Mon
day, Oct. ~ the test will continue pri-
vately for six days, and for one week.
thereafter, commencing Monday, Oct.
10, the machines will be on exhibition
to the public and newspaper men every
where.
Newspaper proprietors and publish
erS in all parts of the country manifest
great interest in this contest, the first of
the kind ever held, and it is expected
that large number of publishers will
take advantage of the opportunity to see
the various machines at work together,
and make comparison as to tn cir rela-
tive merits. 70 assist them Ill their
work the committee will have with
them the fOremen of their composing
rooms, and the capacity of the machines
for superSeding the work of setting type
by hand WILDE thoroughly investigated.
At the same time there will be exhib-
tied also new method of stereotyping
known as the ''cold stereotyping pro-
cess" whereby plates are made with
rapldity never before attained, and
without heating the type. 1t is proba-
bic that other mechanical appliances of
interest TO newspaper men will also be
exhibited.
In addition to reprint and manuscript
copy portion of the copy" to be used
in this contest will consist of five mani
fold sheets of press dispatches received
at Chicago. These extra copies were
taken from the operators typewriters
as the news was being received from
the wires and were set aside for this Spe
cial purpose, as it was believed that this
would afford fair test OF the work the
machines would be required to perform.
The news thus furnished makes $4,000
words, and is the Associated Press re-
port for one day, composed of markets,
sporting events, cable dispatches and
general domestic news.
1t is confidently believed that in the
near future some of these wonderful
typesetting machines will be developed
to such an extent that the news of the
world will be put in type direct from the
telegraph wires. This will be ACCOM-
pliShed substantially as follows: The
operator receiving the news will man
ipulate the key board of the typesetter
as he now does the typewriter, but in
place of making copy for the COM
pOsitOrs he will actually be putting the
news in type simultaneously with its
conveyance by sound from the tele-
graph instrument.

FOR WHOSE BENEFIT?
Slick Mr.. Porter Has a Permanent
Snap in View.

Snap in View.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-S upt Porter
of the census bureau, is authority for
the statement that the question of the
establishment of a permanent census
bureau will be brought to the attentlen
of both houses of congress as soon as
they assemble, in compliance with a
resolution of the senate.
Speaking of the matter Mr.. Porter
said: Il will have prepared by that
time the draft of bill, and also re-
port containing an expression of
commercial bodies throughout the
country. 1t is my purpose to have
ready for congress very exhaustive re-
port upon this subject, showing the ne
cessity of such permanent establish
ment, and that it will not only conduce
to economy. but insure more accurate
statistics than is possible under the
present system"
Senators Morgan, of Alabama; Voor-
hees, of Indiana, and Call, of Florida,
who are in the city, indorse the idea.
Senator Morgan says that no census has
ever yet given satisfaction, and under
the present law it is not likely that any
ever will; that Ito take the census
as it is now taken, and expect
it to be well done, is like trying sue
cessfully to fight great battle with raw
| troops who have not had twenty-four
hours drill. AS it is, the census is
bound TO be imperfect. | have heard of
the criticisms of Mr.. Porter's work; but
L say, so far as my own state is con-
! cerned. know of no criticisms, and, as
far as l can judge, the work has been
| very fairly DONE"

THAT TARIFF BLUNDER.
Its Constitutionality Denied in
Two Briefs.

Two bflciS.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Steinbach &
Co., of New York, and Marshall Field
u Co., of Chicago, plaintiffs in two of
the cases involving the c0nstitutionality
of the Mckinley tariff act, have filed
briefs in the supreme court of the
United States, basing them chiefly on
the claim that the omission by the en-
rolling clerk of the tobacco rebate sec
tons, stricken from the original bill by
the senate and restored in conference,
makes the act void. Many similar cases
are quoted, citing the decisions of state
courts holding that the omission of a
clause in the draft of bill makes 1t in
valid. One case cited is that of bill
passed by The Michigan legislature. but
placed on the statute book without some
notifications made in assembly.
The Michigan supreme court, in de-
Gliding this case. said: sit is to be
deeply regretted that so important law
as this. covering a subject of great pub
lie interest, should, because of the gross
careleSSneSS, or worse, of some one, be
wiped bodily from the statute books.
But the courts are not responsible for
this, nor can they uSurp the functions OF
legislation and by shutting their eyes to
the record of the legislative dOingS,
making law valid that never passed
the legislature however well authenti-
Gated it may be by the certificate of
officials"
Judge Somerville. of Alabama, who is
n member of the board of general APP
praiSerS, wrote the opinion of the board
sustaining the validity of the Mckinley
act against the protests of theimporters,
is quoted in decision he made while a
justice of the supreme court of Alabama,
in which he rules differently, taking the
same ground as the Michigan court did.
Both parties cite an opinion of the
late Justice Miller of the federal court.
in support of their claim that the sugar
bounty clause of the Mckinley act is
unconstitutional. Justice Miller de-
clared thut ito lay with one hand the
power of the government upon the
property of the citizen. and, with the
other to bestow upon favored individ
ualS to aid private enterprises, and
build up private fortunes is the none
the less robbery because it is done
under the forms Of law, and is called
taxation, This is not legislation, says
Justice Miller. 1t is not decree under
legislative forms; nor is it taxation"
The briefs claim that the power given
the president in the third section of the
Mckinley act to Ieimpose duties upon
tea, coffee, and hides at his discretion,
is SO obviously unconstitutional as to
preclude argument.

The meeting of the board, which was to

quorum.
Subsequently Mr.. Gould authorized
this statement: "Of course, | could not

SCHOOLS AND SCHOLARS.
Educational Bulletin of Interest
ing Statistics

ing statistics.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9...The census
bureau has issued an extra bulletin on
education, as summary of statistics
heretofore published, but bringing re-
turns of private parochial schools up to
July l, 1891. and giving parochial
schools by states and by communities
not before shown in any census.
The total school enrolment for the
United States reported July l, 1891, was
close to 14.220.000; the total public
school, including about $1,000 in
universities, schools for train
ing teachers and so on, near
12,970,O00; in private schools,
and in parochial schools not far from
$50. 900 each. A table gives the national
population and school enrolment for
each decade from 1910. when the first
| educational census was taken, showing
| gain Of population from 1850 to 1870 of
| 1925 per cent; from 1870 to 1890 of
262.41; of school enrolment from 1850 to
| 1870 of 1874 per cent; from 1870 to 1890
of 1921 per cent, indicating nearly the
same relations of population and school
! enrolment in each period, notwith-
standing great local changes meantime.
| The relations of white and colored at
tendance in the South fill two tables,
indicating that 21.6S per cent of the
white, and 1856 per cent of the colored
population were enrolled in school in
| the census year. while the gain over
1880 was 1881 per cent for the white and
61.5S per cent for the colored. Eleven
cOmmuniOns are given as maintaining
parochial schools, the Catholics having
more than twice as many pupils as all
others, and the Lutherans about one
| fifth of the whole number.
A table presents the public and pri-
vate schools grouped as superior. sec
ondary and elementary. given as sug.
gestive rather than authoritative, in the
| present condition of school records.
Public schools apparently have about
twelve times as many elementary pupils
as private schools. are close to the pri-
vate schools i'll secondary pupils, and
have less than half as many in superior
instruction as private institutions. Re-
turns received since this bulletin was
| prepared will add considerably to pri
vate and parochial enrolment, and
modify the classification in some degree
