Supreme Court Changes.

One of the Justices of the United
States Supreme Court has passed the
age which earns retirement. Within
the next three years three more JUS
tices will have reached the age CT 10
which allows retirement on full pay.
Gray is now 72. Shiras will be 10 in
1902, and Fuller and Harlan will reach
the same ripe age the year following.
With the most important legal and
constitutional questions since the civil
war soon to demand the attention of
the court, the official longevity Of the
Justices becomes a matter OF no little
concern. 1t has its bearing upon the
pending presidential contest. The
president to be elected in November
may have the filling of four of the nine
places on the bench. One of those va
cancies will be the chief justiceship.
II President Mckinley is reelected he
will enjoy the distinction of having
appointed majority of the bench. enc
of his selections now occupying a seat
there, former Attorney General Nc
Kenna. This, of course, is conditional
upon the four Justices electing to re-
tire when they reach the age limit.

A Negro Enterprise.

A number of wealthy negroes OF
mississippi intend to raise $250,000 for
the purpose of building and equlpplng
cotton mill In the state. A stock
company, composed of negroes, will be
organized, and colored operatives only
will be employed. A prominent white
business man of the state says of the
project: THE white people are in
clined to help the matter along so far
as advice is concerned and aid in or
ganizaztion, although the negroes do
net seek to have them place any mon
ey in the company. This they want to
do entirely themselves. Such a con-
Germ would give employment to a large
number of blacks, and would not only
be of vast benefit to them, but to the
state at large. 1t has my hearty ap-
proval. New York Tribune.

Wheat Outlook In Ohio.

The offfcial report of the state de-
partment of agriculture for the months
Of January and February was complet-
ed on Tuesday The outlook for wheat
Is very dlscouraginH and only Sc per
cent Of an average crop is promised.
The report in full Is as follows:
This is the first report of the year
bearing on the condition Of wheat, and
the present prospect for crop is any
thing but encouraging. Up to the
closing in Of winter the plant had been
gradually reduced by the work Of the
fly, which was prevalent to greater
or less extent throughout the entire
state, except perhaps in few of the
northwest counties. where the crop of
1899 was a failure. The plant, in its
weakened condition, was not prepared
for even an ordinary winter, and has
not withstood the hard freeze in De-
cember and the freezing and thawing
since.
1t Is yet too early to estimate the
full extent of injury because there may
be a revival of growth in some fields
that now appear much affected but
taking present indications many acres
seem absolutely beyond hope for a
crcp and must be put to the plow for
spring crops. Thirty-four counties
report a condition below half a pros
pect; fifty-six counties between a hall
and three-fourths' prospect, while only
eight couties of the entire state repor
a condition above three-fourths pros
pect. There is so very much pool
wheat that the present average is
brought down to Sc per cent of a fail
average prospect at this time, which i:
a decline of nineteen points since tht
last report.
The estimates received on the mum
ber OF stations and the distribution @
che different breeds of sheep, cattle
and hogs indicate that the pure breed!
and their grades have almost entirel!
supplanted the native animals and an
imals of unknown breeding, and ar,
therefore encouraging to the liv'
stock interests, so important in Ohio
An apparent increase is shown in thu
class CT merinos, which indicates an in
creasng interest in fine wool produc
ton.
Chic is extending marked encour
agement to the pure breeds of llv,
stock by providing most excellent ia
cilities, whereby farmers are induced
to improve their flocks and herds b!
the introduction of the best blood fo
the various purposes intended.

When Is Ohio's Birthday?

Ohio finds itself in a peculiar dilem
ma. The state intends to celebrate the
centennial Of it's admission to the I'm
ron, but unfortunately, the date is not
known. The United States census re-
port gives November 49, 1902 but
this is not final authority nor, indeed,
is it generally regarded as correct in
Ohio, as most people there favor hold
ing the centennial celebration in 1908.
Either distinct act of administration
or provisions for admission on procla-
nation by the President was made by
Congress in the case of each state ex-
cept Ohio. The act OF May Z, 1900, set
eff that part of the Northwest terri
tory new included in Ohio as dis
tinct territorial government, and the
rest was organized as the Territory of
Indiana. The act cf April 30, 1902,
authorized the people of Ohio to form
state government. and a convention
held at Chillicothe on November l to
20, 1902, agreed upon a constitution
which went into force without approx
al by popular vote. This constitution
was submitted to Congress in January
1903, and on February 10, 1903, the
President approved the first act which
recognized the new state. This act of
1903 did not purport to admit the
state, but declared that it had become
one of the United States of America"
and provided for the extension of Fed
eral laws to the new state.
Chic historians differ as to which
date should be recognized, but the
opinion is that the later day, February
10, 1903, is the date if the precedent in
admitting other states is to be recog-
nized, but the act Of that date asserts
that Ohio was then a state, and hence
it must have been one on November
20, 1902. The question is one of those
upon which agreement is impossible,
although the date decided upon for the
centennial will make one or the other
in some degree official.-Chicago Trib-
une.

VIM. Won Domarus, proprietor OF
the Columbia hotel, was somewhat
vcxed Friday morning at the way the
aldermen were running the city's
business. On one of the midnight
trains he secured q passenger for
north Seventh street, besides those
who intended to remain at the hotel.
The Seventh street. passenger had
alighted at his destination and the
busman started on his return trip.
On Seventh or Eighth avenue north
Seventh street crosses q small ravine.
There is a bridge over the ravine but
no railing at the sides Of the bridge.
Owing to the darkness the bus
driver was unable to locate the
tresstle and the bus ran into the
ditch. Ed. Tanner. who was an oc-
cupant, was we'll shaken up but not
seriously injured. The team freed
itself from the vehicle and was
captured by some boys at the depot,
over a mile from where the accident
happened. Mr.. Won Domarus l,e-
lieves there should be a railing at
the ends OF the bridge and along the
sides Of the ravine to prevent such
accidents. While this accident did
not prove seriohs, it injured one the
horses and damaged the bus.
