In a report to the State Department upon
the German hop crop Of this year United
States Consular Agent Stern at Bamberg
says that should no unforeseen conditions
arise the harvest will, at least as far as
the area cultivated in Bavaria is concerned,
prove equal to the yield of the most favor
able hop years. The hop dealers of Bam-
berg one of the most important of German
markets, anticipate an area of very low
prices, and the custom Of the German hop
producers to create an unjustifable rise in
prices by predicting a short yield cannot
be successfully put In practice this year.
In consequence American hops, used in
Germany last year on account of a poor
yield and exorbitant prices there. will find
few, il any, buyers in Germany this year,
but on the other hand. 1t is stated in we'll
informed circles that they will be purchased
to a considerable extent in England If the
price is sufficiently low.

carrying a small basket on her arm and
holding a pocket book in her hand. She
reached the corr er Of New Jersey avenue

large colored man jumped from eehind a

Fortunately she held the purse in a firm
grasp, and the man failed to wrest it from
her, although he succeeded in severely
bruising her hand and wrist. Mrs. Haynes
at once cried out, and fearing detection, the

light night the street lamps were not
lighted, which fact no doubt, encouraged
the attack.

constitutional Points Raised.
The subject Of the strike led the speaker
naturally to consideration of the ques-
ton of constitutional law which was
raised by some of the governors Of
states. Taking up the protests Of the gov
ernor Of Illinois against the employment Of
national troops for the restoration Of order
and the contention Of the radical sup
porters Of the governor that he should en-
ploy the military power Of the state to re-
move the federal force Judge Cooley said
mo doctrine exactly like this had before
been advanced, though there had always
been political parties, led by able states
men, who insisted upon a strict construc-
ton of national grants of authority, and of
the power to exercise under them. In this
case the grant to Congress Of the power to
provide for the transportation Of the mails
and to regulate interstate commerce was
not questioned in the least. Congress had
exercised these powers, and 1t was not
claimed that 1t had encroached upon state
rights in doing so. 1t had also provided for
United States courts In Illinois, which were
then In session, and 1t was not pretended
that in Issuing the customary process they
could be lawfully interfered with or the
process denied service. They were, there
fore, national duties to be performed in
Illinois, national officers, agents and courts
to whom in part the performance was in
trusted, and disorderly parties were inter-
fering and rendering performance difficult,
ortentfmes impossible. But the position of
the governor was that the maintenance of
peace and the repression of disorder
was state duty, and the President was
guilty of usurpation when he thus, without
request, moved troops into the state for
the purpose.
1--WE cannot Admit that the position taken
Is even plausible. 1t has no warrant what
ever in the federal Constitution, which, on
the contrary, is distinctly against it. The
President Is to take care that the federal

JUDGE MILLER WEARY.
Too Many Mothers Want the District
to support Children

Benedine Brown, a young colored woman.
carrying in her arms a four-weeks-old Ille-
Ultimate child. appeared in Judge Miller s
court today, and asked that the infant be
turned over to the board OF guardians She
claims that the child's father is a clerk in
the pension office and some weeks ago she
swore out warrant, charging him with
criminal assault, but the grand jury ignored
the charge.
The child was attirei in a handsome silk
embroidered white gown, and showed every
evidence of good care, while the mother was
also comfortably dressed.
m too weak 10 work, and am unable TO
care for the child" was what she told he
court
She's been put out of the hospital" SAID
Mrs. Braxton, the womGn's adopted mother.
m unable to support her, and, of course,
she has no home"
Il can't even take care of myself" said
Benedine. when questioned by the count,
and OF course l can't look after the baby -
There are lots of persons in this city
who haven't brown stone houses and horses
and carriages" said the Judge but they
can look after their offspring"
Every illegitimate child, the Judge said
is more or less in this condition. And" he
added, Il don't know that we are called
upon to provide for every one OF them LIS
IN the power of the mother to make The
child destitute and then bring IL TO court
More than six months ago l predicted tat
all these children would be brought in and
saddled upon the board to eat nm the an
preparation IL this thing is to be continued
1t VIII only operate as an encoura cement to
vice. These mothers come in here AMI are
willing to give up their children with very
much grace and very little reluctance
There are thousands of women .n This
city, the judge added, who have d child in
their arms and half dozen totterirg
around them. and who are able to WORK"
In conclusion the judge told the girl she
would nave to go TO work ana support the
child, as the court was going to put stop
to this practice of putting these children off
on the board. and exhausting the approDria-
ton, SO that when some respectable case
comes there will be enough money left to
enable the court to do justice.
The child was PLACED in charge Of the
BOARD temporarily, and the mother in
structed that she would have to take il
again and do a mothers part.
