The Quality OF Mercy.


The news dispatches bring word from Wash
ington that the secretary OF commerce. Mr.. Red
field. has suggested it would be wise to allow
additional time for manufacturers to adjust
themselves to the conditions brought about by
the Democratic tariff bill. 1t Is the view of the
administration. 1t Is further said, that 1t would
be no more than fair to allow the textile manu-
two months to dispose of their stocks,
the raw materials entering into which were ac-
auired under the present law.
blessed are the merciful." Yet. will such a
course be m~erciful. or will it only prolong the
necessary agony of readjustment to new con-
ditionsp If consumers would rush in and take
off the hands Of producers at the figures of the
latter the goods they may have in stock based
upon raw materials which have paid a tariff duty
1T might be time we'll devoted to the purpose of
amelioration. But will consumers do this, or
will they sit tight so far as purchases are con-
cerned until the two months are ended and with
hold them until they can buy at the figures of
the readjustment? Each consumer who antici-
pates lower prices. as the administration does,
may speak for himself. Or perhaps he will not
speak, but will Just sit tight--Pittsburg Gazette
Times.
No less an authority than the Lancet" com
mends the oyster as "a tonic of the first order
and a complete food. most beneficial to weak

deficient" This endorsement by the great medi-
cal journal should go far to offset the attacks
made by the ignorant and the malicious on this
delicious sea food.-Fishing Gazette.

n Supreme Law.

If the question had arisen In Virginia during
the administration of Governor Henry A. Wise.
whether or not the treaty-making power OF the
federal government was the supreme law OF the
land, he would have had no difficulty In reach
ing a conclusion. for there was no doubt in his
mind on that subject. Governor Wise discusses
the question at some length In his Seven De-
cades' and in conclusion says:
THE clause which declares that the %constitu-
ton Of the United States and the treaties and
laws OF the United States made in pursuance
thereof. shall be the supreme law. could not
Justly be interpreted to have ally other than a
municipal not a sovereign meaning; that they
were to be supreme within the limitations of the
constitution was to be decided only by the con
ventional powers of the States. 1t would have
been absured for the constitution to forbid the
Federal government. or either or all OF Its depart
ments. to violate it, and then to give to the
the power to decide whether 1t had violated the
constitution or not. for that would be to give
the power to declare its violations supreme, and
to enforce them on States. as we'll as on per
sons and property, without regard to constttu-
tional limitations. SO long as the cases were
ordinary cases, of no vital and fundamentl i'm
portance. involving only municipal rights OF per-
son or property the laws of congress were to be
deemed valid until decided otherwise by the
court. or when decided by that court to
be valid. and in either case were supreme. But
in plain. palpable cases. involving gross infrac-
lions of the constitution. and sovereign issues.
and the political powers of the government or
its DEPARTMENTS, State or federal. in case where
the States were in confct, the only tribunal was
that of a convention OF States
That Is the> clearest pre- sentation Of the case
that we have seen from any IN
