Uurrison's Taxes by Proclamation.

Harrison's Taxes by Proclamation.
Chief Justice Fuller,in his dissent
ing opinion, concurred in by Justice
Lamar, denies that congress has the
authority to give the president pow
er withheld from him by the consti-
tuition. The Republic has urged
this ever since the passage of the
Mckinley bill, and we do not see
how it is possible for anyone who
does not believe in absolutism tc
hold otherwise
The so called reciprocity" clause
of the Mckinley bill attempted to
authorize the president to levy spec
fled taxes on given articles by proc.
lamation at his pleasure. 1t now
pleases him TO issue Il proclamation
imposing a tax 3 cents a poun d
on S6,OOO,0O pounds of coffee here
\ tofore used free OF tax by the people
of this country.
The republicans of the supreme
court do not deny that the constitu-
ton prohibits the president from
levying taxes, but they pretend that
because this contingent rate of 3
cents pound was fixed on coffee al
named article, to be imposed Oh il
the president pleased, when he
pleased, the tax is levied by law and
not by ukase.
There is shardly room for argument
here. Until this week coffee hal
been untaxed There was no ia,
: imposed on it by law. Nor is there
, now. The presidents proclamation
lis not law, nor is the tax lawful. B.
changing a few words in the procla
nation clause it could be made t,
read that the president shall hav'
power and it shall be his duty whel
he considers it expedient, to declar
by proclamation an increase of 20'
per cent in the taxes on all article
named in the Mckinley bill. l
would be just as lawful to declar
that the president shall have th
power and it shall be his duty to i'm
pose at his pleasure specified ia
on every article on the free list, Th
only difference III this FROM VIA
has been done is in the pumber o
4 articles the president now claim

Speaking Of ex-President Cleve-
land, the New York Times very apt
ly sums up the characteristics of the
man as follows: "He does not exhib-
it his thoughts in rhetorical fire
works that capture the fancy and
dazzle the reason. He does not
hide his real opinions or do his po.
litical work in the darkness. He
does not make speeches written by
others which ne does not understand

What he says, that he believes. II

about his quality as to make mis-
take about the fineness of granite

You can never know the zest Of hunt
ing or fishing until your dinner depends
on your success; you have never attained
the sublime in cookery until you have
spitted your fish or meat on a freshly
peeled stick, rubbed the salt Ia with your
fingers, and boiled 1t over woodland
fire, you watching 1t jealously lest il gei
ablaze, and all the time that meat il
browning you grow hungrier and hun.
grier; and every time it sputters in the
glow you catch watts of fragrance, until
you feel that you have the capacity Of a
dozen starving men, and wonder whether
a single haunch Of venison can supply
your wants. st. Nicholas.
