others for assistance. Sheriff Houston has
levied on property belonging to w. H.
wilkins and also S. c. Cowgirl, two of the
wealthiest citizens of the place. The costs
in the two cases amount to about $780,
The signers of the remonstrance state
that the fight against saloons is not ended
but just begun and fund of several hun
dred dollars has been solicited with which
to make fight before the commissioners.
The sheriff will be enjoined from taking
the property named to satisfy the costs

CONGRESS CAN REGULATE COMMERCE.

Legislatures political conventions often found
in advance of the majority, but courts Where
congress often found pulling ahead the supreme court
will be pulling back In fact the courts inclined TO
wait until forced when to interpreting the con
sttutionaly of issues The power to regulate com
among the several states which is conferred
congress by federal constitution appears in the light
of the decision of the supreme lottery to
be broad and plenary If that decision has been inter
preted correctly, congress may not only regulate com
among the states but may by law prohibit such
when shall be deemed injurious to public
interest.
This decision is important for gives force and
effect the Sherman antitrust law which has been held
by good lawyers to be ineffective complete
remedy for the trust evil 1t viii place in the hands of
the attorney general powerful weapon with which to
combat the big industrial combinations that operated
in restraint of interstate and with view to
destroying competition in the exchange Of products
the The decision further renders
sary the adoption Of constitutional amendment which
insisted upon by the Republicans of the last
gress, comforting additional powers congress.
There appears to be full justification for this decision
the provision of the constitution in section of article
amounts TO anything The giving of to
to regulate commerce with foreign nations among the
several states and with Indians could been
without meaning Nobody has heretofore questioned the
right of to prohibit with foreign
nation with the Indians when such held
to be injurious Why should there be question the
power of congress to exercise the power in the
regulation of commerce among the several states?

the first place the index gives assurance
that wise discrimination has ben brought

reproduction in the volume. Not only
the public galleries but the private COL
lections of Europe and America appear
to have been laid under contribution by
the editors, and the result must be ex-
tremely satisfactory as well to the criti-
cal expert as to the average lover OF the
beautiful in art It is OF course too much
TO hope that any one man or group Of
| men can make 4 selection Of a hundred
pictures which will satisfy every one In
each Individual case as being the best in
the world But here are hundred pic
lures a majority of which are among the
admitted masterpieces of the worlds mas

Watts and our own Whistler and Sar-
gent are represented by their most nota-

Il only remains to call attention TO the
maner in which these pictures have been
reproduced This has been done by a
photogTavure method which leaves moth
ing 10 be desired either as regards tonai-
ity on the one hand or the careful and
! precise rendering Of detail on the other
, That six photographers Of so high a quail

Finally IL may be said that the letter

point and pleasantly instructive. and that
the general '-get-up'' of the books Is in
excellent taste.
