MONEY AND RTrSTNFSS

Disturbance in the financial markets
causes uneasiness in some circles as TO
the immediate course of our industries
but in conservative quarters, where il is
recognized that speculative liquidation
in securities is not based on intrinsic
weakness in fundamental conditions, no
apprehension appears to be felt over the
future of the country's general business
activities. Hot headed men are making
predictions calculated TO weaken conf
dence in American securities at a time
when they should endeavor TO allay alarm
among investors.
Conditions in all markets have been
abnormal and readjustment is now
under way. which in the case of the
stock market has been quickened by the
developments OF the last week To re-
store normal conditions liquidation must
be effected in stocks as we'll as in COM
modities. and considered from this point
OF view the heavy selling and declining
prices on the Stock Exchange are a
strengthening influence, the good results
Of which will be reflected in the course
OF affairs later IN the season. Hysteria

sOUTH AFRICA's GOVERNMENT.

The assumption of a short time ago
has apparently been realized in the or
ganiZation of the first government of
the Union Of South Africa. General
Botba as Prime Minister has made up
his Cabinet not according 20 the broad
nOn-partisan principles which he urgent
ly recommended when the subject was
first practically broached. but according
Ia far narrower principles which were
substantially imposed upon him by the
governments Of three of the provinces.
As thus far announced the ministry is
composed exclusively OF members of the
Dutch party as opposed TO the British
party.
General Botha himself who is Prime
Minister and Minister of Agriculture,
was the BOer leader in the late war,
though be had earnestly opposed the
fatuous policy which led TO that war.

A RAIN To STATE PRIDE.

The Overman amendment to the inter-
state commerce bill, adopted on Thurs
day by the Senate, is an echo of the
clash three years ago in several Southern
states between the state authorities and
the federal courts. The North Carolina
Legislature passed law regulating pas
senger fares. which the railroads refused
to obey on the ground that it was practi-
cally confiscatory. Passenger agents
were arrested and held for trial by state
judges. but were released on an appeal
to the federal courts Judge Jeter c.
Pritchard. circuit judge for the 4th
Federal Circuit, issued injunctions pro-
tecting the railroads from interference
until their complaints could be heard.
and the government of North Carolina
had to confess its inability to enforce the
passenger fare law in the teeth of the
federal courts decree of suspension.
Similar friction occurred in Alabama,
Georgia and Virginia, all those states
having likewise attempted to reduce rail-
road rates TO what the railroads Consid-
cred a non-profitable basis.
The aggrieved commemorative could
not deny the right of the federal courts
TO interfere, for that right is clearly
granted in the Fourteenth Amendment TO
the federal Constitution. But the point
was made that comfy between the nation
and the states required an exercise Of
moderation and discretion on the part Of
federal judges suspending state laws.
One judge, it was held, might hastily or
incOnsiderately assert jurisdiction and
grant injunctions which, though with
in his prerOgative, might give undue
offence to state courts or state govern
ments. 1t was suggested, therefore, that
t e assent of at least one other judge
should be obtained before an injunction
should issue.
Mr.. Overman's amendment provides
that every application for an injunction
restraining a state through its officers
shall be presented TO a circuit judge or
TO a justice of the Supreme Court and
shall be heard by three judges. Such a
modification of federal practice can do
no harm and may prevent a feeling on
the part of a state that ii is being arbi-
trarily dealt with by single judge It
is simply guarantee of fuller delibera-
ton and more formality in proceedings
brought in the federal courts which af-
feet a states dignity and sovereignty.

4 DISCORD4NT CALL.

Under the headline a Splendid Re
sponse." The Federation Review" in
the current issue SAYS: AT last we see
"our long cherished desire for Jewish
military organization duly realized.
and states further that by means of the
aid extended TO them by patriotic citi-
zens the Jewish brigade has become a
fact. As evidence OF its existence q
letter from the commanding officer Is
presented. from which we learn that
the brigade has a headquarters building.
which also contains a canteen and club
rooms. and that in the short time since
tts inception two companies. each with
q membership Of siXty-hve. have been
recruited.
Several years ago. when men Of promi-
renee in The Jewish community were
urged TO assist a similar movement
which had been launched by veterans of
The Civil War. The Tribune opposed the
project. and pointed ont that in the
early DAYS OF the armed militia in this
state one potent source Of discord
was the existence Of distinctive or
ganizations" There were French. Ger
American military bodies. ranging in
size from companies 10 regiments. These
bodies have with the exception Of the
Irish regiment. been disbanded as dis
tinctive-' bodies and the 69th having
dwindled 30 the size of a battalion. was
reclaimed only when an American officer
contrary TO the traditions Of the regi-
ment, was placed at its head The dis
putes Of former days were love feasts in
comparison with what might follow if
distinctive religious" bodies came into
existence.
Happily. the state authorities have
given the matter serious consideration
since The Tribune called n halt The
military law of the State Of New York.

men other than the active militia and
