THE UNITED STATES SUPREME
 COURT.

COURT.
 Its decisions have always been in far- mony with and sustaining the proposi- tion that this republic is a nation act ing directly upon all its citizens, with the attributes and authority of nation, and not mere league or confederacy of states. The importance of this can- not be overestimated, and will be appre- ciated by all who compare the weak ness of the old confederacy with the strength and yigor of the republic un- der the present Constitution. .s-.
 In the light of our marvellous deyel- opment and the wondrous growth of this republic to. the first place in the family of nations, one may well pause to consider what would have been our history if the decisions of the supreme court had been adverse to this rule of nationality, Suppose that the court had held that, because the Constitution did not in terms grant the power to charter corporations, congress could not charter a national pank, where would have been our great financial system? Suppose it had ruled that 8 state might impose license on every importer from, foreign nations: that it had supreme authority over all the navigable waters within it's limits; that it's courts could take from the custody of United States. officials any person arrested for an al-. legged violation of Federal law, and that there was no power in the supreme court to review the judgments of state courts adverse to rights claimed under the Federal Constitution (and the ques- tions presented in these cases were. un-. der the strict language of the Constitu- ton. debatable), where would have been the vigor and strength which ex- ist in our national government, and which have been among the strongest supports of national progress? Reflec-a tions such as these will give some idea of how much the supreme court has by it's decisions affected the life of the re- public.--Justice Brewer, in Scribner's Monthly. >@#f t.f /.

"If trained teachers who have
worked considerably wish to visit
abroad, they may find greater ad-
vantages than at the summer school,
in the study OF methods in the
schools of their own territory. We
are only too glad to have the old
teachers go away and improve their
time in the States. For the younger
teachers it is thought wise that they
should have a thorough understand
ing OF the work here and we want
them to attend. To make the work
stronger and wider we always have
some one from abroad who has
broad views, where we ourselves
may be narrow."-Supt, Atkinson.
That's the stuff. Let the older
teachers go away to Chicago and
other places where they can learn
something practical and up-to-date
in methods Of teaching; and provide
good instructors. in the Summer

Most Of the Dead Are Chinamen-All
but One Blown to Fragments
Building Destroyed-James Preston
Has a Marrow Escape-cause Un.
known-No Witnesses Survive.

Nanaimo, B. c., Jan. 16.-A terrific
explosion occurred at the Hamilton
Powder companys works, Departure
Bay, at $40 in the morning. George
Simonetti, James Fulford and 10 China
men were killed. Only one body, thai
Of Chinaman, was recovered. The
others were absolutely blown to frag.
ments. The guncotton storage house
exploded first, the concussion explod.
ing the gelignite mixing house, 400 feet
away, where the greatest loss of life
is supposed to have occurred. The
ground was excavated to a depth Of
six feet where the buildings stood. The
buildings were blown into kindling and
scattered with fragments of human
flesh over several acres. The tramway
was torn up and length of steel rail
twined squarely around a tree, like a
whip lash.
James Preston, nitroglycerine
maker, had "a miraculous escape and
owed his life to his GOODNESS. He was
running his machine 1000 feet from
the explosion when it occurred and was
thrown down. The window and part
of the wall were blown in, but he kept
his machinery running in spite Of the
concussion, which almost stopped 1t,
and never left his post, thus preventing
third explosion.
The works are three miles from Ma.
naimo, and broken windows here testi
fy to the tremendous force Of the ex
plosion. The management states that
it is utterly impossible to assign any
cause, as no witnesses survived.
