INDUSTRIAL AMERICA ENTERS THE
NEW CENTURY WITH EVERY FA-
YORABLE PROSPECT.

Industrial America enters the new century with
every prospect favorable for a continuance of the
prosperity which she has OF late been enjoying In
such generous measure. The success of the Re-
publican policies in the recent National election
made il certain that the United States would in the
life of the incoming Administration continue on
gold basis. and that her business men would be
free in that period to put forth their best efforts TO
develop trade and commerce unhampered by the
menace of Populistic legislation. and confidence
was renewed. that confidence which is the founda-
tion of permanent prosperity.
The close Of the year and the century finds the
country prosperous in every line. The crops have
been abundant In 1soo bringing wealth to the farm
ers and large returns the transportation COM
panies. The export trade has advanced with giant
strides until the United States stands first In
the list of exporting nations. The expectation OF
American steel rails has more than doubled in the
year just ended, and a great foreign demand for
other American steel products also has developed,

and other commodities. European nations-Great
Britain Russia. Germany and others-in 1900 sought

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court
handed down decision yesterday in regard TO
certain portion of the Prevailing Rate Of Wages law
which involves the cOnstitutionaity of that por-
ton of the act forbidding use upon public work
of stone cut outside of the State OF New-York. II
is referred to often the Cut Stone act Ralph J.

and the engineer in charge OF the work certified to
its completion. When the proper paper reached
the Controller he informed by ]. Z. Dutton. OF
Hoboken. that a portion of the stone used in
building the sewer had been cut in Hoboken. He
asserted that this only OF many viola
tions OF the Cut Stone law. and protested against
any payment being made to the contractor.
The contractor payment being refused him.
brought suit to obtain peremptory writ OF man.
damus compelling the payment of the money due
him. This denied. An appeal was then taken
to the Appellate Division, and a decision has
now been rendered. after reargument reversing
the first decision and ordering that peremptory
writ Of mandamus be issued An opinion was writ
ten by Justice Ingraham. and concurred in by Jus
tice Hatch and Justice Mclaughlin, Chief Justice
Van Brunt and Justice o. 'Brien dissenting The re-
lator claimed that the act was unconstitutional
because It interfered with interstate commerce. and
the Court in reversing the judgment held that IL
was unconstitutional in this respect

elsewhere Such differences In the cost of material
have been paid by the city. and this decision is
expected bring the cost OF municipal work down

II is hoped that IL will also have an effect on the
suits now pending against the city under the Pre-
vailing Rate of Wages law for excess of wages
due to laborers Judgments for more than 100000

Mr. Kellogg makes the additional point that, while
the Legislature undoubtedly has the right TO fix
the salaries and wages OF it's employees, II is no
where given the right to delegate that power.
Under the law IL IS. the power to fix rates of
wages is placed outside OF the Legislature. but it
is not given to any definite body of men, and this
