Sawtelle's latest confession must be
looked upon merely as a desperate device
to save his neck, by making it appear that
the crime was committed in the state of
Maine where the penalty for murder is
Imprisonment for life instead OF In New
Hampshire where it IS death. This same
question was raised In the trial, indeed it
was the principal defence upon which Saw
tells counsel relied. But the jury found
that the crime was committed in New
Hampshire. 1t is not likely that the judges
will disturb that finding unless the new
evidence is very strong. But If the court
should find that mistake had been made
and that the crime was really committed in
Maine then the proceedings will all be
void, and Sawtelle will have to be tried
and convicted in Maine court before be
can he punished. The provision OF the
Constitution that man shall not be
twice put in jeopardy of his life would not
apply, because the courts have held that a
man is net put in jeopardy by conviction

The Speakership.

While it cannot be considered as set
tied the signs point very strongly to the
election Of Mills to the Speakership. he
is likely to have hundred votes on the
first ballot, and unless his opponents
can combine, which is very improbable, he
Will be likely to pick up enough votes
to nominate him before many ballots have
been taken. as soon as it gets in the air
that Mills is pretty sure to be elected the
support of the other candidates is likely to
rapidly disintegrate by reason of the deser-
tions OF men after good places on the
committees. While 1t may be doubted
whether Mills is as fit to preside over the
deliberations of the House of Representa-
tives as some OF the other candidates, there
is very little room for doubt that he, better
than any other Of the candidates, repre-
sents the controlling tendencies Of the
Democratic party. Ali of them profess to

The three grounds on which the import
eTs ask the Supreme Court 10 annul the
Mckinley tariff law are ~ That it was
never enacted In the mode provided by the
constitution. ~ that the sugar bounty is
unconstitutional; C3) that the reciprocity
clause confers upon the President the
power to impose taxes on imperts. power
which the constitution has reserved ex-
clusiyely for Congress. BY far the most
Important OF these grounds Is the third,
ramely the uDconstitntionality of the
reciprocity clause. When that clause
was appended to the bill In the
Senate there were very grave doubts
OF its constitutionality among the best
lawyers In that body. Senator Evarts
contended In long and powerful argu-.
ment that 1t was In conflict with the cor
stitution. and several other Senators agreed
with him. 1t Will be remembered that this
clause commands the President whenever
he shall be satisfied that the duties levied
on our products by countries whose pre-
ducts are admitted free into this country
are "reciprocally unequal or unreason-
able" he shall reimpose the duty on their
products Now II the words "reciprocally
unequal or unreasonable" describe a def
mite condition then all the President has
to do is to determine from evidence
whether that lcondition exists and then
give notice that the law Of Congress has
gone into effect. In that case pothing is
LETT to bis discretion, ana IL cannot be said
that he imposes the duty. But If the words
"reciprically unequal and unreasonable" do
not describe an exact and definite condition
then very much is left to his discretion.
and 1t can fairly be argned that he and
not Congress imposes the duty and that
the power OF Congress has been delegated
to bim If the act had said that whenever
these countries impose duties on our prod
ucts the President shall impose duty on
theirs there conld bave.been no doubt that
an exact condition had been fixed and that
all that was entrusted to the President was
to determine when the condition had
arisen and then to declare that the law of
Congress had become operative. But "re-
ciprocally unequal and unreasonable" is
vague and indefinite language, and there is
room for the contention that the President |
is gwen SO wide latitude to act under it as |
to make him. and not Congress, practically
the creator of the duty which he nav i'm
pose.
