THERE is scarcely a parallel in his
tory to the victory won by the Ameri-
can squadron at Manila. From one
thousand to twelve hundred Spaniards
hors du combat, and only half-a-dozen
of our sailors slightly injured! Eleven
of the enemy's ships destroyed, and
not one of ours disabled! 1t stands
forth the grandest, completest victory
of all time.

JUDGE MARSHALL writes to tho edi-
tor of this paper a letter which we
print with pleasure. 1t wipes out the
accusation that he is not and has not
been in accord with the Chicago plat
form. No one receives this statement
with more qualification than the REG
lister. The other statement that Judge
Valiant is not and has not been be-
lever in the question of free coinage,
but has denounced the financial plank
of the platform as "a political heresy, y
is a charge, il substantiated, of suf-
ficient gravity to ALLEVIATE from that
gentleman the support of every true
Democrat in the State. Certainly,
Iron county will have no part in him.
Let Judge Valiant answer as unequiv-
ocally as has his competitor answered
the questions put to him.

HENRY G. ADAMS. the statistician of
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
points out in a recent issue of the At
lantic Monthly that the present Inter-
state Commerce law has been emascu-
lated and fails of its purpose to in any
way control the great transportation
corporations. He calls attention to
the fact that the United States Supreme
Court has rendered nugatory every
section of the law that has tendency
to restrain the railroads, and the courts
have deliberately defeated the inten-
ton of the Legislative branch of our
government in the matter of Interstate
Commerce legislation. The facts that
Mr.. Adams deals with are old news.
He does not denouEce the courts, but
his facts are perhaps the strongest de-
punctuation that could be framed. 1t is
we'll understood by all thoughtful peo-
pie that the present arrogant position
OF our Federal Courts is a menace to
civil liberty. The mistake originally
made was in freeing them from the
direct control of the people. whose SER
wants they are. We lay down the
broad principle that if the people are
the fountain-head of all law, they have
right to also insist upon an interpre-
tation of the law which they have Gre
ated. If such an Interpretation prove
unjust to the body polite, the people
who have to endure the injustice will
see to 1t that the wrong is righted.
The present system of having the SUI
preme Court pass upon the constitu-
tionality OF laws would be borne with
were the people satisfied that the
Judges of that court were men of I'M
Improbable integrity, but unfortunate
ly this opinion no longer prevails. By
very large per cent. of our fellow
citizens they are looked upon as attor-
neys for the great monopolies that now
oyershadow our land as well as the
rest of the so-called civilized world.
The suspicion is prevalent that many of
them secured their places through the
pull of thetransportation companies and
trust companies with the administra-
ton. This heing the case, some action
will have to be taken to deprive them of
the power they have usurped to them
selves. One means that might partial
~ remedy the evil would be to amend
the Constitution so as to make the Of
fee of Federal Judge elective. The
people should have no class of servants
that are not within easy reach. Again,
the Constitution might be SO amended
as to place in the State Legislature the
power to finally pass upon an inter
probation of statute passed by that
body on an appeal from the Supreme
Court. One branch, at least. of the
law-makiug department of this gov
eminent should have power ultimately
to say what a law emanating from it
and which it helped frame into stat
ute really meant.

ecru guipure lace over a tight foundation
of golden brown surah.
The bodice closes invis:bly in the shoul-
dtrs and under-arm Seams, so as not to
disturb the severe lines of the tightly-ad-
jrsted back and front seams, and the small
points in front and back further add to the
perfection of fit and prove extremely flat
tering to somewhat stout figures. The
effect of a dainty Zouave jacket is given
by several rows of firely pleated surah,
which encircle the bodice. They are I'm
ished al the top by fine ruching of golden
brown mousseline de sole, and are caught
over the bust by very long and narrow
buckle of filigree gold, ena meed in oriental
co;ors and set with semi-precious stones.
The sleeves are tight and consist of ecru
lace over brown suIah with several rows
of brown surah pleatings to supply the
necessary finish at the shoulder. The COL
lar of flaring Medici form is made of stiff
cred and wired lace.
This bodice looks well when worn with
brown skirt of any silk or wooden material: ::
but the most appropriate skirt would be
II ade of golden brown surah. cut as
drop skirt over a tight lining of brown
taffeta or sateen. A number of small pleat-
IL gs should border the hem, and should b
surmounted by wide band of gupure
lace. above which there should be still an
other trimming of surah peatings. Sasn
ends bordered with pleatirgs would make
pretty finish. and the whole gown could
be made serviceable for warm weather by
leaving the yoke formed by the zouave
Jacket, and the sleeves, unlined.

The ideal travelling gown consists of skirt
