THE TREATY-MAKING POWER.
Frank Hurd Discourses Thereon.
Especial Dispatch to the Detroit Free Press.

Especial Dispatch to the Detroit Free Press.
WASHINGTON, December 15.-There
are wide differences of opinion among
members of the House as to the extent
of the power the Constitution intended
to allow the President in the matter of
commercial treaties. 1t is argued that
when the treaty-making power was
vested in the President and the Senate,
it was not supposed that commercial
treaties affecting the revenue laws
would be negotiated under this clause
of the Constitution. Several members
of the Foreign affairs Committee ex-
press the belief that all legislation af-
fecting the revenue or tariff laws should
originate in the House, and that treat
les which interfere with the revenue
should only be negotiated after the
House has signified its desire that such
should be made. &%
Representative Frank Hurd, of Ohio,
OH the other hand takes an opposite
view. Asked to-day as to his opinion
of the chances for the passage of the
Mexican Treaty bill he said: II favor
the Mexican treaty, but I consider it
absolutely unnecessary for the House
to pass q bill to put it into effect. The
| Constitution gives the President abso-
lutte power to negotiate treaties which
are to be ratified by the Senate only.
The House has nothing to say upon the
subject. When the bill comes up for
discussion / intend to speak. I shall
confine my arguments, however, to the
general ground that the House has
nothing to do with ratifying treaties
whatever"
"But it is said that the Constitution
did not conceive of revenue legislation
through treaties. and that in giving
the Senate absolute power commercial
treaties were not meant to be in
cluded.n
"That is absurd" said Mr.. Hurd.
'Before the Constitution was adopted
we had four commercial treaties with
European countries. During the Con-
stitutional Convention Mr.. Lansing, of
New York, attempted to have incor-
porated clause which would have re-
moved from the President the power
to negotiate treaties affecting the tariff.
He was not successful. Later Virginia
attempted to have the Constitution
amended so as to curtail the preroga-
tives of the President by removing
from him the power to negotiate COM
mercial treaties. This was unsuccessful.
| hold, therefore, that treaty signed
and ratified by the Senate is the SUI
preme law of the land and even though
it may repeal all our revenue laws, the
House has no jurisdiction in the mat
ter"
"Do you then favor these recently
negotiated treaties?'
II am not prepared to say yes to that
question. | favor them as far as they
give us free trade in piecemeal, as l be-

Vennor's Last Prediction.

NEW YORK, December 10.-A Mon
treal special says that before Vennor
died he had completed an almanac for
1884 and 1885, which is surprisingly
correct as to its predictions. In gener-
al he says that we are in a moist period
of two years. The fall of 1884 he pre-
dicted would be open with mild unset
tied weather, and the winter would see
great falls of snow and rain. There
would be a green Christmas and New
Years. So far as Eastern Canada is
concerned, says the special, Vennor's
predictions have been surprisingly cor
rect. The country is free from snow
and the rivers are free of ice.

money was received there would be
trouble in Scotland Yard and that q

receive lessons in the use of giant ex-
plosives.
Richard O'Keeffe, who willed the
money, amassed his wealth first as a
miner in the gold districts of Brazil and
afterwards by conducting large sugar
plantations. He made his. escape from
Ireland during the troubles of 1S4s
when price was set upon his head.

Section 1894 of the Code of Iowa de-
clares that 'the Bible shall not be ex-
cluded from any school or institution
in this state, nor shall any pupil be re-
quired to read it contrary to the wishes
of his parents or guardian" This
statute is negative in both of its provis-
ions. 1t does not legislate the Bible
into nor out of the public schools of
Iowa.. 1t simply forbids the positive
exclusion of the Bible from these
schools; and this leaves it to the option
of the teachers to use the Bible or not,
as they shall think best, with the quail
ification that no pupil shall "be re-
quired to read it contrary to the wishes
of his parent or guardian" The Su-
preme Court of Iowa, constituting this
law in the recent case of Moore v. Mon
roe, held that ''an injunction will not
issue to restrain the reading of the BIZ
BILE or the singing of religious songs in
the public schools, unless attendance
on such exercises is compulsory" The
court held that the law is constitutional,
and that the design of the legisla-
ture was not to legislate in favor
of or against the use of the BIZ
BILE in public schools, but to leave the
question to the discretion of the teach
ers, subject to the restriction imposed
by the statute. The court had nothing
to do with the wisdom of the law, and
expressed no opinion in respect to it re-
garded in this suspect. Its business was
simply to construe it, and settle its true
meaning in application to the public
schools Of Iowa. We see nothing in the
laws, as thus construed, to afford any
just ground of Complaint. Iadepend-

Putting Down Polygamy.

"The Mormons are all Democrats, y
says an organic contemporary, "because
they believe that the Democratic party
is less likely to put down polygamy than
the Republican party"
If Congressman Cox doesn't put this
in his next edition of f"Why We Laugh"
he will make mistake. In the exist
ing edition there is nothing more
laughable.
How anybody can be "less likely than
the Republican party to put down poly
gamy" is inconceivable. What has the
Republican party ever done by way of
putting it down 1t has thundered
against polygamy in its platforms. 1t
has "orated"fin Congress and in public
documents about the surviving twin
relic.n 1t has enacted with Democratic
assistance sundry laws against the evil.
But what has it done by way of ex-
tinguishing or lessening the evil?
Absolutely nothing. The commission
appointed at Republican instance to
examine into the matter made its report
only few days since. In that report
it said:
After more than two years. labor and
experiences here, it becomes our duty
to advise the government and the
country that although the law has been
successfully administered in respect of
the disfranchisement of polygamists,
the OBJECT of the same upon the preach
ing and practice of polygamy has not
been to improve the tone of the former
or materially diminish the latter. For
a year or more after the effort to enforce
the law was initiated polygamic teach
ings from the pulpit were rarely heard,
and there were indications that the
practice of polygamy might be expected
to at least measurably decline. But
during the present year there appears
to have been q polygamic revival. The
institution is boldly, defiantly defended
and commended by the spiritual teach
ers, and plural marriages are reported
to have increased in number.
This is stement from Republican
source what the Republican party has
done-or rather what it has not done
in putting down polygamy. Yeta Re-
publican organ with every affection of
seriousness gravely speaks of the DEM
cracy being "less likely' to putt down.
