Newport has again asserted its Intellectual SUI
premacy this time in the realm Of POLITICAL specula-
tion We have mere than once urged that when
delicate problem in science, philosophy, morals,
taste or etiquette confros the nation the easiest
solution is to ask what Newport thinks. When we
know the consensus of opinion in that profound
a2senblage of polo players automobile drivers,
champagne agents and diners out, We know every
thing Clergymen and lawmakers long wresrled with
the divorce question, but Newport quickly found
the true way by making divorce social distinction
For thirty-fve years statesmen have struggled
over the rights of the negro and have admittedly
failed: the subject was hotly discussed as ever
until last Saturday. Then Newport society leader
spoke and declared the whole debate fruitless, for
the reason-that we cannot have white equality let
alone negro equality: There viii of necessity be
two classes-the aristocracy and the common people
We should not be democratic, it is dangerous,
and people are not equal, anyway The Decara-
ton of independence and the Constitution have been
considered from the point of view first OF the
north and then of the south, with barren results
but from the point of view Of an afternoon tea we
reach the fruitful conclusion that both documents
are obsolete

Bafour is something like timid tariff reformer
in the United States. He isn't in favor Of full pro
lection Yet he abhors free trade. The timid Demo-
crat doesn't dare advocate absolute free trade, yet
he abhors protection. Compromises frequently win
in politics but the compromiser is invariably damned
in time.

sUsrAlNs FORAKER ACT.
Decision of United States Circuit
Court Of New York.

New York. Aug. l5.-Judge Ray. in
the United States circuit court, has
handed down an opinion sust aiming the
constitution ality of the Foraker act,
which provided a new revenue tax on
merchandise brought into the United
States from Porto Rico after the ISL
and ceased TO be foreign country.
The decision sustains a demurrer in
terposed by the United States in an
action commenced against - by the
sugar importing firm of I:Sscelles 4
Co of New York. The firm imported
a cargo of sugar from Porto Rico on
June =. 1899. which was placed on its
arrival in bonded warehouse The
entry was liquidated Nov. IA. 1899,
under the existing Dingley tariff act.
On June 6 the entry was reliquidated
aud duties reassessed under the For
aker act, The firm protested against
the imposition of any and all duties.
Finally, under protest $500 duty was
paid and suit for its recovery inst
tuted. The government demurred,
claiming that the goods were dutiable
under the so-caled Foraker act and
Judge Day sustained the demurrer.
The real question at issue. and one
not previously raised, was that por-
tion of the Foraker act which provided
for the assessing of merchandise at
bonded warehouses at the time the
new law went into effect.

regard to an extraordinary session OF
congress at date earlier than Nov. 8.
Considerable opposition has devel

Kings Speech Read to Joint Session
Of Both Houses.


London, Aug 15-Parliament was
prorogued during the day until Nov
:. The house OF commons assembled
with the lords. where the speech from
the throne was read. The speech was
Of little general and political interest
IL alluded to the cordiality of the
kings reception in Portugal, Italy and
France and to the return visit of Pres
dent Loubet, whose visit has given
rise to striking exhibition of the
feelings of mutual good will which
prevail in the two countries"
The most interesting portion of the
speech to America deals with Ireland
1t says:
THE warm expressions of good will
with which | was everywhere received
greatly touched me- My visit enabled
me to realize how much was being
attempted to improve the housing ac-
cOmmodation for the working popula-
ton, stimulate commercial activity
advance the methods Of agriculture
develop technical education and pro
vide for the sick and infirm. Much re-
mains to be done, but it was with feel
ings of the deepest qualification that
noticed signs Of increasing concord
among all classes in Ireland, presag
ing. as | hope, new era of united
efforts for the general welfare"
Referring to the Irish land bill the
speech says it offers inducements to
the land owners to continue their resi-
dence among the countrymen and pro
vides facilities for improving the con
ditions of life in the poorer districts
Of the West. II adds
This reform, by removing the
ancient causes of social dissensions,
xill, | heartily trust, conduce to the
common benefit Of all my Irish sub
iects"

The general opinion seems TO be that
