The Supreme Court has sustained the
constitutionality of the Mckinley law,
and has also justified ex-Speaker Reeds
so-called arbitrary counting OF a quo
rum in the last congress by two recent
decisions. Thus one by one the issues
upon which the Democrats hoped to
make the campaign this year are slowly
being knocked out of the ring. And it
will not be two years before the preced-
ent set by Mr.. Reed will be generally
accepted as good law as we'll as common
sense, while the prediction that not one
feature of the Mckinley law will be
changed by the Democratic house is
more than possible of fulfllment.

LONDON, March 2.--It is now estimat-

from putting into effect the scheme to
reduce wages. The mining industry
throughout Great Britain will be great

aloot from the movement being those
employed in South Stafordshire and
East Worcestershire. Should the pres

out and the strike inaugurated, the
branch industries will also be adversely
affected, and it is estimated that close

comes to one Of our home builders
the persons to whom it should go.
The money for this improvement

to onr own mechanics, whose inter
