Capt. Mnnson, says the effect of the
canteen system was shown by the

AN oLrcAscHicAL STATUTE.

A striking example Of the methods
TO control the courts adopted by the
oligarchy IS shown in Section 1888 Of
the civil laws. This section reads:
ANY Circuit Judge may. soith the icrif-
Ten approrai 81 the Chief Justice, APP
point special terms Of his court, at other
times. whenever he shall deem II essen
tial 20 the promotion OF justice.
That a Circuit Judge, the presiding
Judge OF a court Of record, must have
the written permission Of the Chief
Justice before he can order a special
term OF court is certainly the most
remarkable state OF affairs to be
found in any land where the English
language Is spoken. Such statute
practically makes the Chief Justice
the guardian Of the Circuit Judges as
though the latter were mere weak
lings with whom it would not be safe
TO entrust any power OF authority.
True. under the oligaehy when young
clerks. without practice or experience
In the law, were appointed Circuit
Judges. it may have seemed well to
make the Chief Justice their guardian
and monitor. but IN these days when
learned lawyers are appointed to the
Circuit bench it makes a farce OF
justice to provide that Circuit Judge
cannot order special term OF court
without the written approval Of the
Chief Justice."
When the Territory was organized
there was handed down to the Circuit
Court OF the First Circuit, as legacy
OF the oligarchy, a congested calendar
carrying nearly 500 cases. Notwith
standing that Judges Gear and Hum
phreys have each disposed OF more
business, since they have been on the
bench. than any other two Circuit
Judges ever disposed of in the same
length Of time. they have not been
able to reduce the size Of the calendar.
In order to carry on the work of the
court Judge Gear desired TO order a
special term. but finds himself con-
fronted with a statute requiring the
written approval OF the Chief JUS
tice~ before he can cali 1t. and the
Chief Justice is on the mainland
Who is best likely to know the need
for a special term. the Circuit Judge

WARNED AGAINsTLIQUoR.
Diocese of Dubuque, May Refuse Sac
raments to SaIOOnIzeepers.

Dubuque, Ia, April lin his ser
mon at st. Patrick's church on the
occasion of confirming several hun
dred children, Archbishop Keane took
occasion to warn the little ones
against the drink habit. He spoke
in the most solemn terms. He told
the children how easy they might be
led astray and implOred them never
to drink or even smell or taste alcO-
hOlic liquors. He said it was his am
bition that no Catholic should be en-
gagged in the liquor business. Conclud
ing, he said: Cup to the present time
the only argument have advanced in
support Of my view on temperance has
been moral suasion, by word and ex-
ample. If, however, in the near fu-
ture this shall prove inadequate to
the obtaining of the end in view, it
is my intention to instruct my priests
not to administer the sacraments of
the church to those engaged in the
liquor business, a business inconsist-
ent with the name and practices of
CathOlicity. Therefore, no Catholic
should engage in the liquor business"

FOR NICARAGUA ROUTE.
Isthmian Canal Commission More Strongly
Convinced Than Ever That II Is the
Most Feasible Waterway.

Washington, April 1.-THE isthmian
canal commission has just completed
a session which practically concludes
its labors. The final report has been
passed upon and viii be out in about
two months. On authority it can be
said that the conclusions of the com
missiOners are stronger even than
their opinions on the preliminary re-
port for the Nicaraguan route. By
the boring it is found that the depth
to bedrock at Panama is 12S feet, while
at Nicaragua it is % feet, a material
advantage for the latter. The Pana-
ma dam must be one-half mile long.
The Nicaraguan dam calls for 1900
feet length. 1t is found that the ma
sOnry OF the Panama dam calls for
100000 and the earthworll for S.
100000. The Nicaraguan dam can be
built for s. 200, 600.

FOR the Fiscal Year 1t WIN BE About $780,
OO.OOO-ExpOrts Constantly Increas-

Washington, April 17.-For this part
of the fiscal year, with three months
yet to hear from. the balance of trade
in favor OF the United States is over
$500, OOO, 900, and at the present rate
the balance for the year win be near
", If not quite, 500, 900 on the
right side of Uncle Sans ledger. The
figures up to March 81, just finished,
are so stupendous as to stagger one.
For the first nine months OF this year
the exports Of merchandise from the
United States amounted to S1,14O,1 no.
72s, while the imports were $685., 49,
391. This means a favorable balance
of trade of S54O,6s7, 1897. This sum,
enormous as it is, measures the fact
that the United States has sold TO for
eign nations just that much more than
it has bought from them. The bal
ance is SIPS, $50. gu larger than for
the same period last year. The ex-
ports have increased Ss6, ,O42, while
the imports have decreased $40, 292,-

THE GREEDY POWERS.
No inclination to Scale Chinese Claims to
Uncle Sans Figures and Settle
ment Is Far on.

Paris, April 16.-The correspondent
here of the Associated press is in
formed from a trustworthy source
that the outlook for an early settle
ment of the Chinese indemnity ques-
ton is less promising than a week ago.
The negotiations between the powers
are bringing out conflicting ideas and
interests and are likely to be very pro-
tracted. The proposition of the Unit
ed States to limit the total indemnity
to S2OO,OOO,OOO is the only one under
discussion and is not regarded with
favor by more than one government.
The others consider the sum too small
and are disinclined to reduce their
claims to the figures of the United
States.
