 New York, July 30.-The weather map again failed to show any rain of note In the territory west of the Mississippi, dry and hot conditions being reported all over the belt Texas got few showers in the section which was suffering for rain, but in the central portion of the State there was no relief The official forecast for tonight and tomorrow, too, failed to give any hope of early rains in the drouth- stricken region. Liverpool cables were rather weak, advices from Manchester were discouraging, spinners manifested no interest in the--market and disgusteo longs threw oyer their holdings, breaking prices s@e points during the first hour. There was some slight rally in anticipa- tion of an unfavorable weekly govern ment report, the whole list running up 2o3 points. But the report noted that conditions were generally improved over the belt except in Arkansas, Missouri Tennessee and central Texas, where the crop is suffering from rain, and blooming around the top was extensively reported It was therefore regarded as generally favorable and prices barely held tneir own. The close was 4Q7 points net de- cline The disposition at the moment IS to leave the market alone until the issu- ance of the monthly bureau statement which. though due next Saturday, VIII not be issued until Monday at noon. Liv- erpool will be closed Saturday and Mon day for bank holidays.

that governments are established solely
for the protection of life, liberty and

he said:
"Now if the same construction should
be given to the clause prohibiting the

tax as was given to it in the case of the
states, as long as Porto Rico remained

country, however long or short this court
may find that period to have been, tax

the states because they were exported to
that island was. undoubtedly, an export
tax or duty in violation of the express
provision of the constitution"
Mr.. Carlisle closed his able defence of
constitutional government with this
thoughtful paragraph:
"If it is true that the constitution pro-
tects no rights of person or property in
the national do
main outside of
the states, it is most fortunate for the
country that the discovery was not
made until after more than hundred
years of security under the delusion that
we had free government, and after
our boundaries on this continent, the
real home of our enterprise and our re-
publican institutions, had been filled
with free states. free territories, and
free men. But I do not believe there
has been any delusion on this subject;
do not believe that the trainers of the
constitution, or the people who adopted
it, deliberately or by mistake, delegated
arbitrary power to any man or body of
men, and look confidently to the judg-
ment of this court for their vindication
of such a charge"

TRUE REFORMERS

Senator Clark of

of his candidature with vigor and
courage equal to that displayed by Fitz
simmons vs.. Corbett, is the real and
acknowledged leader of the army of
civic reform in the West.
In the mid continental states Bryan
archy leads reform and makes it COM

In the East, at New York, the great
purist Croker heads the advancing
columns against civic sins. How beauti.
full is the propaganda of real reform!

The CONSERvA.
ARcnMENT. TIVE has received
copy of the COM
plete argument of Mr.. Carlisle in the
Porto Rican cases now pending before
the supreme court of the United States.
Mr.. Carlisle's argument is strong and
convincing. It bears the imprint of
keen mind, possessed of remarkable
power of analysis and gifted with
faculty for close and careful reasoning.
Mr. Carlisle stated the case tersely and
pointedly by saying:
"The real question is, not whether the
constitution extends over the island of
Porto Rico and it's inhabitants, but
whether it extends over the executive
and congress when they are engaged in
enacting laws or making orders and
rules and regulations for the government
of the island and people? The question
is whether the constitution is in force
here in this capitol, and whether con-
gress and the president are or are not
bound by it's provisions in the exercise
of legislative or executive power over
every place to which those powers
extend?'
Mr.. Carlisle cited precedent after pre-.
cedent to show that congress, in legis.
lating for terri

by the prohibitions
and limitations of the constitution. The
rule of apportionment, in the case of
direct taxes, and the rule of uniformity,
in indirect taxation, the court has re-
peatedly held, apply alike to states and
territories of the United States.
"Could congress-" Mr.. Carlisle asked,
otherwise than by the constitutional
exercise of the power of taxation, or by
condemnation and compensation, deprive
the owners of this property or any part
of it?''
Replying to the contention of the ad-

 Contrary to the usual rule, it was the bridegroom who attracted the greater share of the attention. As he passed out or the church there were audible mur- murs from feminine lips, such as these:
 Isn't he fine?''
 Isn't he sweet?"
 Isn't he lovely?'

 In the Peary family little Marie Green lands native daughter, is real Polar enthusiast. She could talk for hours about the beauties and pleasures of snow and ice and the charms of the small Es- kimo, male and female.
 Mrs. Peary supplemented some of her daughters remarks.
 Their children" she said, "don't have anything on them from the time they are born until they can walk, except caps of seal or fox skin and little, short fox skin shirts that do not come to the waist They rarely begin to walk until they are two years old. But there Is no such thing as a puny, sickly, delicate baby among the Eslximo6. The baby either dies or lives and Is hearty and strong. Whenever the sun comes out the mother takes the naked baby on her lap and gives 1t sun bath. When she nurses 1t both she and the child are exposed to the cold. She takes it out of the hood, in which she carries it on her back, and, of course, from the waist down 1t is naked.
 "A peculiar custom of the people Is that they chew all their clothing. They chew the deerskin used In making the kamicks, and after a skin Is chewed they make 1t soft and pliable by seraping 1t with piece of stone on iron.
 Whenever a man wears a hole in his shoe he pulls 1t off and throws it to 8 woman. She has to chew all around the hole and chew a piece of skin for the patch and then sew it on.
 ITO insure circulation the shirts and outer coats of the Eskimo do not meet their trousers. It does look queer, how ever, to see a man out in a temperature of fifty degrees below zero with ten inches of his back or leg exposed to the cold"
 Mrs. Peary expects to return to her hus- band on the next relief expedition.
 This time he will be waiting for us,' she said. He is now only $50 miles from the Pole. He will make one more dash for it next April. And when he returns with us he will tell you all about it.
 Meanwhile 1t Is hard to be separated from him, but it is harder for him than for me. Yet it is his duty to stay, for he has promised to reach the Pole. want to see him keep that promise, and firm ly believe he will"

 Another work of Mir Roosevelts, classed with 'rhe Winning of the Vest as the most important. perhaps, of his literary life, also came out last year.

 Another production of MT. Roosevelt's 2 last year was The Strenuous Life" which is probably the latest of his writ ings. The origin of the title is to be found in the authors frequent use of that particular phrase in many of his speeches. The Century Company pub lished this last work
