val mentioned a Japanese was convict
ed of murder by the majority vote Of
trial jury. His counsel appealed on
the ground that the japanese was en-
titled the guarantees Of the constitu-
ton OF the United States, that mo
person shall be held TO answer for a
capital or otherwise Infamous crime
unless on a presentment or Indictment
of grand jury" and that no person
shall be deprived of life or liberty ex-
cept on due process Of law. Plainly,
the counsel of the japanese held uhat
he had not been given due process Of
lawn
In other words. the contention was
made ths the constitution was extend
ed to Hawaii by the mere act Of an
nexation, ex proprio vigore. The ma
jority of the court in denying this con-
tention reasse-ts the previous deCi-
stitution in effect, and l. is apparent
also that it was governed In some
degree by considerations Of public
policy. Justice Brown, VINO delivered
the opinion, held that if the anneXa
ton resolution Was % be construed
literally the prisoner would be enti-
tied to discharge, put thai ii was not
conceivable that Congress intended to
overturn the whole Hawaiian criminal
procedure at blow, working lnextri-
cable confusion in the inUarregnum be-
tween the demolition o. the old sys-
tenn and the establishment of the ma
chinery for the new, an operation that
must take a good deal of time.
The minority of the court asserts, in
it's turn, that the constitution applies
at once, of its own force, Tex prcprio
vigore." The decision, of course, comes
in for criticism, but it seems to us on
ly what might have been expected
from the composition of the court and
it's previous findings on insular cases.
The court recognizes the colonial sys-
TEN, and the necessity of Congress be-
ing authorized to consider local con-
ditions in "Americanizing" our posses
sions. That Congress will give to our
possessions the essential guarantees
for the life and liberty of their peo-
pie is scarcely to be questioned; but
it may we'll hesitate to set up in them
procedures for which their inhabitants
are unprepared. Thus in acquiring ISL
ands or other territories whose in
habitants are only semi-civilized, it is
only common sense to prepare them
for the jury system as we have it be-
fore we formally set it in operation

The latest 'insular decision" of the
Supreme Court follows the line of the
first, in that it reafirms the position
then taken that the constitution ap-
plies to our annexed or acquired terri
tories only when and so far as Con-
gress applies it. The occasion of the
courts action is new, but the applica-
ton is old. In this particular case
the question at issue was the legality
of a conviction obtained in a Hawaiian
court between the annexation of Ha-
waii and the establishment of the ter
ritorial government of Hawaii by Con-
gress.
The joint resolution for the annex
alton OF the islands, passed ~ Con-
gress, provided that the municipal laws
of Hawaii not repugnant to the con-
stitution of the United States should
continue in force until Congress estab-
lished territorial government. The
Hawaiian system of criminal proce-
dure contained no provision for a
grand jury, and permitted convictions
by majority of jurymen trying a case
This system had been in operation in
Hawaii for sixty years. In the inter-

The latest instance of the United
the operation of home laws in the new
possessions of this country in the
Sandwich islands is what was expect
ed. 1t shows that this court will con-
tinue to be what it was when the Phil
ippine cases of two years since were
brought before it, and it was found
that those judges having what have
been termed imperialist IDEAS were in
the majority of the bench. 1t is seen
also that no mistake was made when
it was thought safe to put Justice
Holmes of our state on the bench as
the successor to Justice Gray. Justice
Holmes has proved to be entirely in
accord with his predecessor in his
view of the constitutional questions in
volved. 1t will be observed that the
court doesn't divide strictly accord
ing to the politics of its judges. Judge
White, Democrat, takes the imperial
list side, while Justices Harlan and
Brewer, Republicans, are with those
opposed to it. We are reminded again
that, if David B. Hill, as United States
senator, had not prevented the confir-
nation of the very able New York
lawyer whom President Cleveland first
nominated to be a supreme court
judge, Judge White would not now be
upon the bench, and in all probability
this decision of the court, alike with
the one that preceded it in the same
line, would have been reversed. AS
before, the superior judicial talent is

Justice Fuller and Justices Brewer,

The decision of the Supreme Court
in the case of the Japanese Osaki Man
kichi, involving as it did the issue of
Imperialism first decided just two
years ago in the case of Downes VS..
Ridwell, sustained the earlier decision.
The American Constitution does not
follow the flag of its own strength. To
extend it to any other portion of the
globe than where it f1ourishes today
requires an act of Congress.
The four dissenting Judges in this
case were the four dissenters to the
judgment of the Court in Downes VS..
Bidwell, namely, Chief Justice Fuller
and Justices Harlan, Brewer and Peck
ham. OF the majority, Justices Brown,
White and McKenna hold their origin
al ground; Justice Gray's conclusions
are reached by Justice Holmes and
Justice Shira's by Justice Day. A
striking novelty, though, in the Man
kichi case is the daring with which
the Court decides that the intent of
Congress, as it is deduced in the
Courts judgment from the attending
circumstances, may be permitted to
nullify the plain words of Congress
sional resolution leading to result no
less momentous than the extension of
the United States Constitution to the
new American Territory of Hawaii.
"The intent of the lawmaker is the
law" says Mr.. Justice Brown, giving
the majority opinion; and the Court
concludes that Congress did not in
tend to substitute the requirements of
the American Constitution for the an
cient rules of Hawaii at all points, the
words of the resolution, decreeing on
their face that that should be done,
to the contrary notwithstanding.
On the case-iron rule of the deci-
ton in the Trans-Missouri Freight
Association case, that the Supreme
Court had no power to read into the
Sherman act forbidding restraint of
trade the word unreasonable, the
Northern Securities merger has just
been unanimously forbidden by the
Circuit Court. Mr.. Justice Brown was
one of the majority of five in that in
stance. But Mr.. Justice White de-
livered the opinion on the other side,
holding that such rigid interpreta-
ton of statute involving conse
quences so serious was not to be
thought of, and that the Sherman act
aimed at unreasonable restraint Of
trade only. And Justice McKenna,
Justice Day, also of the majority in
the Hawaii case, have come upon the
bench since the Trans Missouri case
was decided.
The doctrine of this Hawaii case
applied to the Northern Securities case
when it comes up for hearing in De-
cember would relieve the United
States of the most dangerous legal
burden that legislature and court COM
bined ever put on any country.-N. Y.

DERRICK MACHINE FOR PARIS
Well Known inventor Ships Matrix.Cutter
To French Firm

Nicholas Dedrick, the well-known
inventor and machinist of this city re-
Gently received and filled an order from
Paris firm, G. Peignot ct Fills for
one of his matrix and punch cutters.
The machine which is Mr.. Dedrick's
own invention and which, although it
does not occupy much space, took two
men nearly year TO build. was packed
and shipped last week.
This invention does away entirely
with the old process of punching the die
into the matrix. The punching process
invariably bent and twisted the metal.
With this machine however the die is
cut in the metal by a process of which
the familiar drawing instrument, the
pantagraph, is the basis. One arm of the
pentagraph traces the design, while the
other arm cuts the design, very much
reduced out of the brass or copper
block
The scope of the machine can best be
told in the inventors own language:
In II series Of type, say, fourteen sizes,
there are upwards of 1000 characters,
and the cutting by hand Of q steel
punch and driving a matrix for each is
Il slow, tedious expensive job. With
the Dedrick machine, however. some Is
patterns suffice for the whole series; and
if IN ltalic is wanted the same patterns
are all that are required. In other
words only 10 patterns costing but n
few cents each, are required for several
complete series Of type Roman, Italic
Condensed, Extended etc. Of five or six
thousand characters The machine does
away with the necessity for punches,
but if for any reason punches are want
ed they can be accurately cut in a mere
fraction Of the time required for hand
cutting. When compared with the
process of making matrices by electro
tipping, the work Of this machine shows
% wonderful saving Matrices for a
whole series Of type can be cut on the
machine in less time than is required
for the production of single large size
by the electrotype method.
Mr.. Dedrick has sold the English pat
ent rights on the machine. The one
just shipped to Paris is the first to go to
France.

HOUSEKEEPING SYNDICATE.
Thirteen Families in New York state
Try Cooperative boarding to
Solve Servant Problem.

In the enterprising town of Holly,
Orleans county, N. Y, new movement
has been started, with the object OF
solving the servant girl problem, says
the Buffalo Commercial.
Thirteen families, comprising 20 per-
sons of the best social and business
standing, have formed a cooperative
boarding association, all members to
bear an equal share Of the expenses.
Gradually the various objections
were overcome, and the members are
not only well satisfied with the prog
ress made, but think that In short
time noticeable decrease In their liv-
ing expenses will be evident
Upon joining the association, men,
bers contributed S. to create q fund
with which to equip the kitchen With
this money two ranges and dishes Of
every description have been purchased;
also other articles necessary to the
culinary department. In the dining
room each family furnishes the table
linen, dishes and other articles for its
own use.
All expenses for provisions and the
services Of the cooks and Mattresses
are then borne pro rata by the MEM
bers. There will be considerable curl
osity to know whether the experiment
can be made permanent success
