NEW TRADE FACULTIES.

CON merce Of the United States under
taken by the treasury bureau Of sta

Summary of Commerce and Finance,
summarizes in its opening pages the
principal features of the internal com

quarter Of the current year. On the
Atlantic seaboard one of the more i'm
portant announcements is that Of the
addition of Portland. Me, to the list of
contract ports entitled to the lowest
marine insurance rates. This addition
gives the Atlantic coast six grain ship
ping ports Of the first rank. so far as
safety of navigation goes. The list at
present includes Boston. New York.
Philadelphia Baltimore. Norfolk, New
port News. and Portland.
The placing of Portland on the con-
tract list gives occasion to call atten-
ton to the fact that this port has re-
Gently been provided with a first-class
grain inspection system; that it's pilot
age system has been much improved to
meet the recurrence ts of the increas-
ing size of freight and passenger
steamships engaged in it's trans

WHAT IT MEANS.

The Indianapolis Sun sums up the SUI
preme court decisions in the insular
cases in this way:
The supreme courts decision seems
to mean something like this:
We can do anything we please in the
expansion business.
we can hold any islands OF other out
side territory
To them the constitution extends If
congress says it shall.
We may pass laws governing them,
and we can tax them as We see fit for
their good and ours.
The basis for the decision lies in the
absence % anything in the constitution
to prevent.
The whole decision is summed up in g.
late speech Of Senator Beveridge's, in
which he practically declared that des-
tiny, more than the constitution governs
our conduct as world power.
The opinion is rennarlza Bile for its loose
construction Of the constitution. It is
surprising that the supreme court did
not divide on political grounds. That it
did not is a source Of great qualification.
The administration and Beverage have
won a renowned victory

AFTER DUDLEY'S SCALP.
State House Custodian May Bs
Pushed Aside For Old Soldier.

From top to bottom of the custodianss
force in the state house there are whis-
perings and tremblings. The fiscal year
is approaching an end. Changes and
rumors of changes make the janitors
and other employees, who hold their
jobs at the pleasure of the executive
council, uneasy.
There is a contest over the position
of custodian John Dudley, the present
incun bent has held the place two
years. He runs a livery stable mail
route and some local politics on the
side, and there have been nurmurings
about the care of the grounds, flower
beds and lawns. Col. Geo. W. Veale
has an application in for custodian. and
Dudley will have to bestir himself to
hold onto his job.
The old soldiers preference law ac-
counts for much of the uneasiness. A
large majority of the applications are
