THE ALDRICH AMENDMENT.

There is one fact connected with the pas
sage of the Tariff bill in the senate which
has not attracted the degree Of attention
which it deserved, as a most vital encroach-
ment on the general character OF our sys-
tenn Of government. Reference is made tn
the amendment which was offered by Mr..
Aldrich, and adopted by the vote OF the Re
publican majority, providing that when
ever and so often as the President shall be
satisfied that the government OF any coun-
try producing and exporting sugars, mo-
lasses. coffee, tea. and hides imposes duties
or exactions upon the products of the United
States which he NAV deem to be reciprocal
Nv unequal and unreasonable, he shall have
the power to suspend the law admitting
these articles free"
The dangerous significance of this amend
mint is TO he found in the power which il
.,onfers upon the President TO assume nj his
discretion, functions which should properly
De only exercised by the legislative branch.
The Presidential Office is executive, this
being one of the three distinct departments
OF tie National Administration which con
.stitute the fundamental basis upon which
the theory Of our Government rests, and IN
accordance with which it is carried ON. in
actual practice, the other two branches, CO.
ordinate but entirely separate, being the
legislative and the judicial. Grant 10 the
Chief Magistrate the discretionary right 10
suspend the operation of revenue law
which has been made by the votes OF the
legislative branch, and the signature of the
Executive, a part Of the law Of the land.
aud he becomes invested at once with
legislative power, inasmuch, rs for ali sub
stantial purposes, he can unmake what has
already been enrolled on the statute book.
Nor does il seem 70 be "A sufficient justin
cation TO say that the President is simply
exercising right which Congress has
deemed it judicious and expedient, for en-
cellent reasons, to delegate 10 him as its
agent. The constitutionality Of this sug
gestion has still TO be tested; but whether
the Supreme Court, when the question
comes up before il, will sustain it, is open
10 very considerable doubt. The question
should be raised a; the earliest opportunity,
for if he President should exercise the
power which has been conferred on him by
Congress, and should repeat the act with
out opposition, a precedent would De estab-
lished which would have powerful effect
in giving stability 10 the Aldrich amend
ment. Danger to our political institutions
undoubtedly turks In that amendment, and
1t is the part Of yigilant citizenship TO ex-
pose il to the popular ccnsure with view
10 its permanent repeal.

ton. providing that the State shall be divid-
cd into thirteen gcrrymandered election dis-
;ricts, in eight Of which the white voters
must have an assured majority; and that
tho college of electors who shall be chosen
from these districts by popular suffrage
each district having one representative
elected by itself. shall in their turn, ap-
point all the State and county officers, the
members Of the state Legislature In both
branches alone excepted. BY this method,
if embodied in the Constitution 70 be adopt
ed. IL is claimed that Mississippi viii be
placed indefinitely in the control OF the
white people, and its affairs administered
in accordance with the principles OF Justice
and economy
I'pon It's face, the plan proposed by Judge
Calhoun seems not only cumbrous and IN
direct. but also Ineffective. after the lapse Oh
| a certain time. for the purpose for which II
| Is intended. The chief object which the
constitutional Convention has in view is the
permanent removal Of all fear Of negro SUI
| premacy. which seems to be more and more
/ threatened as the black population grows
in numbers, not only by natural increase,
but bv immigration from adjacent states
llft that population is expanding so rapidly
that active steps have to be- taken at once
by the whites to curial its voting power, IN
order TO ward oh ruin from the institutions
Of Mississippi, what guarantee is there that
there will be-, ten years hence, eight districts
in the state, however ingcniOusly gerry
wandered. in which the whites will have a
maiortyY lf instead of a white majority
i'm eight districts. there should be black,
which is very probable, the condition Of the
Commonwealth would be far worse than II
is now. unless some means of supprcssln-
the negro vote, which are used under th'
= present system, were 10 Doe resortcd q
again. 80 advantage, therefore. would be
secured except for very short time.
. The convention. however, was called a.
gethor 10 settle the problem permanently
That problem. in ifs political aspects aiici
all. can only De settled in Mississippi, az
well as elsewhere, 10y some method which
will include both whites and blacks, an'
10 will fan with strict impartaliiy upon bot
races. All schemes like the one advanced
by Judge Calhoun are eXpedients that NEE
the eNiecncics of the case only temporarily
The woman suffrage suggestion very proha
, bly falls within the same category TIN
propositions embodied in the report of th
Elective Franchise Committee Of the con
ycuton, cover the pressing demands of th
occasion a. far as they can be met 10y strict
" constitutional means. The principa
. propositions Of this report were an educa
, tional qualification, poll tax, residcnc
=. of one year in the voting precinct, an
a modification Of the Australian ballot law
Let these four propositions be adopted @

THE instruction that has broken out In
one of the cantons Of switzerland has az
sumed very threatening proportions. The
idea has always prevailed that the Swiss
Confederation was founded upon the most
liberal principles Of administration. and
that its Federal system secured lis people
against those political evils which arise
from the Capitalization of power. There
appear. however, to be just ground, for the
discomfort which has excited the inhabi-
tants Of the canton of Ticino to open rebel
lion and led them TO establish a proyisi-
onal government Of their own. This is only
another Illustration Of the fact that not even
the citizens of republics are exempt from
those disorders that so often disturb the
peace and stability OF despotic monarchies.

The Canadian press which received the

Kinley bill, which shuts them out from tie
United states as "a market for number of
their products. The latter fact viii not only

When the discussion of the tariff on tim
Der was in progress Senator Carlisle referred
TO the inconsistency OF the policy which on
the one hand offered bounty for the plant
ing Of trees, and on the other offered a bounty
lin the shape Of protective duty for cut
ling down trees. aud advocated the placing
of lumber on the free list 50 as TO get the lum-
Der from Canada. Ills curious how many
Inconsistencies the tariff law contains and
how an Xious the prOtectionists are 10 pass
them by without discussion. II is passing
belief that all the members Of the Repub-
lican majority should be bought or pledged
i'm favor Of high tariff. but the fact is they
are willing 20 vote 10 increase the tariff on
all commodities and that they do not wish
,0 give any reasons why. II is not patriot
ism 10 demand higher taxes; tits not states
manship. hence it must be some sort Of
