THE SUPREME COURTS DISCRETION


THE SUPREME COURTS DISCRETION
Courts and lawyers are sensitive 10
the comments Of newspapers upon their
decisions. and criticism Is rarely VEN
tured upon as to any particular case.
but there Is no improperly or disre-
spect TO either bench or bar In "a discus
sion Of general principles. even though
there may be an implied dissent from a
particular decision as a result thereof.
In no other way can the public be
made aware OF the necessity which
sometimes arises for amendment OF the
laws, and since legislators cannot be
expected In advance OF thel- short term
Of sixty days 10 master all the prob
lens which arise In the manifold affairs
OF the state. IL Is a convenient means Of
Informing them. Judges differ very
much in their Interpretation of the same
laws. and vary no less in their views
of the discretionary power permitted at
times by the language Of statutes.
There has undoubtedly been injustice
done In this state through a mlsconcep-
ton of the extent 10 which the supreme
court is bound by that portion of the
state law which governs appeal from
the lower courts. The constitution of
this state and the laws generally repose
In the supreme court wide discretion
AIRY power, and nothing could be more
comprehensive than the declaration in
the laws Of 1898 which says: The SUI
prcme court shall hear and determine
all causes removed thereto In the man
ner hereinbefore provided. upon the
merits thereof. disregarding all techni-
cslities. and shall upon the hearing
consider all amendments which could
have been made. as made"
Ia order that there may he a uniform
ity In the method az taking appeal. the
legislature has prescribed certain gen
crai rales for the guidance Of courts

The strangest Feature Yet.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-The. war
preparations being made by the
United States have come to the
official attention of the Spanish
government, and the views of
the Spanish government thereon have
been communicated to the state de-
partment here.
1t does not appear that the Spanish
government claims or asserts its right
to question such measures as the
United States might adopt,even though
they be of character to indicate prep
arations for war. 1t is rather by way
of representations, conveyed in a
friendly spirit and without threat, as to
the serious influences these prepara-
tiops will have in encouraging the
Cuban insurgents at moment when
the autonomy plan is to have Its
crucial test through the Cuban elec-
tions, and this way defeat the reforms
that Premier Sagasta is seeking to
carry out. seq
In the same spirit of friendly rep
resentation, Spain has pointed out
that war by the United States against
Spain under such circumstances would
be unjustiIiable before the world, and a
crime against humanity and civiliza-
tlOn.

COMMERCIAL REPORT.
Weekly Trade Review of K. G. Dun &

New York, Oct. 15.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
With actual payments through the
clearing houses 1872 per cent larger
than in the same week of 1892 it can.
not be said that business is in any
sense falling off, yet many are COM
planning because the amount realized
as profit is smaller than formerly
realized in good times.
Progressive civilization calls for a
lower range of profits and prices as
the volume of business transacted in
creases in order to make possible an
improvement IN the condition Of the
working millions.
Wheat business is more active with
prices about two cents high for spot
and nearly three cents for December
options. While little attention is now
paid to official reports, they seem to
foreshadow larger return for the
crop than has been made on any prev
ious year. The price of corn has ad-
vanced about two cents, through the
receipts are larger than year ago.
The price of spot cotton is sixteenth
lower than week ago, while there is
weaker market for cotton goods.
While some woolen mills have start
ed during the week, quite as many
have stopped. The wool market is re-
markably dull, prices ten per cent
lower with sales during the past two
weeks only 6,l79,7OO pounds, against
"a, ,331 900 last year.
Iron manufacture again reports a
small increase in' weekly output with
decreasing quantity of unsold stocks
on hand outside the great steel COM
panies. There are quite heavy eastern
orders for foundry iron, fully support
ing prices. Orders for finished pro-
ducts include very heavy demand for
plates and bars.
