Then the ip.antitirs ordered are l.iuch smaller thnti the Itidtistrie have been accustomed to supply, ond so far below the capacity of the woi'ks that the competition drives priies in each grade down toor below act ual cost, squeezing out profit and forcing down wages. Yet the pretil and the wage ate the fund from which future purchase lor consumption must he made. It is under such condition that more works are going into oieration, many with a doubt how long they will be able to 0r ate.

Supremo Court Holds That mate Can Order Illegal Fiablng Device Dosti-oyed. J. W. Hague, (lame and Fish Warden, has received a copy of an opinion handed d'jwn a few days ago by the Unite 1 StatesSupreme Court, In which the right of fish wardens to destroy nets, seines and other illegal devices for catching fish under State Laws Is settled flnallv. Sir. Hjinie says he ha destroyed (1A.0.S) worth of articles of thi class since he bus been in ortico and the question of his right to rlosoba frequently ,-eu brotigui uo, out never turnou iZl enough to g?t authoritative decision on It. He was once urrested for it, but the Uruud Jury ignored the bill I'ne case just decided I that of (leorge W Law ton and others against W. M. Steele, a tisn wnrden of New York. Steele destrov ed hoop and l'uke;iicts worth (.'2o owned by the plaintiffs und they sued to 'recover the value of tlicin. A jury awarded them (210. 'I he Court of Appeals reversed this and ordered a judgment absolute for the defend ant. Then l.awton uud others ap:aled to tl.e t'nited States Supreme Court on the ground that iheStatu law authorizing the ileal ruction of nets wa unconstitutional, for the reason that is deprives a citizen of his property without due process of law; that it is in' restraint of the liberty of the citizen mill that it is nn interference with the admiralty mid maritime jurisdiction of the t'nited Slates. The netsdestroyed were taken from a navigable stream, w hicli Is under the control of the government. The court is of the opinion that the (less trucnou of the nets ts a proper exercise of the tiolice power of tho State. The waters from which they were tmcn are within the jurisdiction of the Slate, notwithstanding tliut the stream is'a navigable one. The cost of condemning ihe nets by legal proces,tbe court says, would be more than they are worth Hint this would interfere with the working of the law which has for its ob ject the protection of luh. The person owning the property seized has a legal remedy. If it was ued in violation of the luw he has no just cuuse of complaint. If not used so he can replevy it or sue for the value in which case the burden is on the def'endent to show that the property was utd iilegalv. In conclusion the decision of the New York Court of Appeal in af l.rmed. Chief Justice Fuller and J as tees Field and Itrewer diksent from this opinion. They hold that lih nett are articles of private property and areentitled to protection of law. They are unwilling to concede to legislatures power to declare them public, nuisance aud to order their destruction. The illegal use of them would be terminat ed by the withdrawal from the water and the detention of them, i'rivate prorty can not be arbitrarily invaded under the guise cf police regulation nor forfeited for an alleged violation of the law by the owner, nor destroyed by way of penally without giving him an opportunity to be heard. They do not care to sanction the smallest invasion ol property rights. THE DEADLY CYCLONE AGAIN.
