TAX DELINQUENCY SUITS.

Judge Thad Huston, OF the Pierce coun-
ty superior court, has handed down an
oral decision in a number Of tax delin
1uency suits, in which the question bad
been raised by demurrer that the statute
Of limitations had run against the taxes
Of 1892, 1893, 1894 and 1895.
The court holds that the statute had
not run and that the tax certificates on
which suit was brought were good and
valid certificates, and the demurrers were
overruled.
Attorneys say this decision is not only
Of great importance to the numerous in.
vestors in tax certificates, Int is also OF
great value to the county and the state.

THE HABEAs CORPUS WRIT.

A dispatch from Manila says: "Civil
Governor Taft says the power of the SUI
preme court in the case of Oakley Brooks,
military prisoner ordered to be deport-
ed. but in whose behalf the supreme
court issued a writ of habeas corpus,
which the military authorities refused
to recognize on the ground that the only
tribunal having jurisdiction was the
federal court, comes from instructions
of the president, as commandments,
dividing the power between the United
States Philippine commission and the
general commanding the troops. The
former is directed to protect liberty
where civil government has been created
and the courts only method for so doing
is by habeas corpus. The generals
power, therefore, is limited, his instruc-
tions being subject to the courts writ"
Oldfashioned people were taught that
the power of the court, to which Govern.
or Taft refers came from the constitu-
ton which provides that "the privileges
of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be
suspended unless in cases of rebellion
and invasion the public safety may re-
puire it," This would seem to apply to
any court and yet Governor Taft, while
conceding the power OF the Philippine
court to issue the habeas corpus writ,
says the authority comes "from the in
structions of the president as COM
mander.in-chief dividing the power be-
tween the United States Philippine COM
mission and the general commanding
the troops" The Philippine court is
organized under the Philippine commits
sion and according to Governor Taft the
privilege of the writ OF habeas corpus
rests upon the arbitrary authority of the
president and those appointed by him.

Inexplanation of an immense shipment
of gold from New York to Europe, the
tinanciers explain that it is to pay foreign
debts owing by Americans. Says one of
the press dispatches, this gold shipment
sis taken to indicate that the credits of
this country in Europe have been ex-
hausted, and Europe is calling for the
payment of the debts due her from the
United States" That explanation ought
to make the Favorable balance" touters
think. Why is it that our credit abroad
is exhausted notwithstanding that our
exports have exceeded our imports
steadily for a generation, and for the
past few years enormously. Europe has
paid us but a trifle in gold for that stu
pendous balance of exports, and we have
been told that we were lending it abroad.
How then can our credit abroad he now
exhausted? Does one exhaust his credit
with borrowers by liberal lending? Can
this be another of the inverted theories
of the Favorable balance" philosophers?
Are we really to understand hereafter
not only that the more wealth you send
away and the less you get back the richer
YOU are, but also that the more wealth
you send away and the less you get back
the deeper you are in debt?
