the general was sincere man, and
everybody said: "Let him have his

THE SALVATION ARMY.
Return Of Gen. Booth from His
Tour Of the World.
Views OF a Prominent English journal on
tho Commander and the Religion
Taught by Him and His Enthusi-
astic and Noisy Disciples.

Air. Booth was. we believe, originally
Methodist cvangclist-a sort of preach
ing friar of the Wesleyans, and it was
in 1865 that he founded in the East end
of London "thc Christian mission Ms IT,
was called, which in 1878 became the
Salvation Army. In everything except
celibacy, doctrine and comprehensive
ness OF appeal, for Mr.. Booth has never
attempted to capture the cultivated
class, he closely initiated Ignatius
Loyola, to whose policy it will be OBJ
served his references in his addresses
since his return from foreign parts have
been curiously copious, and to whose
frmness in the faith he has lilScned his
own. He gave his followers rigid mill
tary discipline and organization. He
took the rudest classes all over the
world as the field of his labor.
The general, during his recent trip
around the world, has had Roman tri-
umph, and it would be idle to deny that
he has worked for it. He has, after all
tried to make the world better than he
found it, at time when everybody else
was giving up the task in despair, or
severely letting it alone. He grasped
the truth, says London Black and
White, that organization and advertise
ment are more potent forces than in
spiration in these days; that hundreds
of thousands of ignorant people were
dying of boredom-and yet with pcnt
up fountains of emotion surging beneath
the surface of their dull gray lives. He
offered to put color, variety and excite
nent into their existence in this world
in such way as not to jeopardi=e their
chances of happiness in the next. Go
to one of his meetings and you will dis
cover his grand secret. 1t is to prevent
people from feeling even the first symp-
tom of boredom; to strain their excite
,ment by varied succession of stimu-
lants, to open out to ambition in the
lower classes a career in which power

The Supreme Court of the u

THE Supreme Court of the u S,
on Monday last, in three cases, by
which several importers sought to
test the Constitutionality of the Nc
Kinley Tariff Act, decided the law
was valid.
The grounds on which it vas
maintained that the tariff was uncon-
stitutional were that the tobacco re
bate section of the bill had been omit
ted in its enrolment after passage by
Congress, and, therefore, that the
signed by the President was not the
bill passed by the Legislative De
partment of the Government; that
the reciprocity feature was a trans
mission to the Executive OF the law
making power, and, therefore, void,
vitiating the whole act, and lastly,
that the act was void, because OF the
sugar bounty provision. The Court
affirmed the judgments of the New
York and Illinois Circuit Courts OF
the United States in favor Of the con
stitutionality Of the act.
Justice Harlan read the opinion OF
the Court. He said that the Court
had given most careful and deliber-
ate attention the question now raised
for the first time as to the Courts
determining whether an act signed
by the President was actually the
law passed by Congress. The OBJ
ject Of the journal required to be
kept by Congress, he said, was not
that it might be consulted to deter
mine the authenticity of an act of
Congress, but that there might be

THE rule of the House Of Repre-

THE rule of the House of Repre-
sentatives of the last Congress, per-
hitting the speaker to count a
quorum from among members pre-
sent but not voting, and for the en-
forcement of which, Mr.. Read called
down upon his head such storm OF
Democratic anathemas, has been
pronounced a valid rule by the
Supreme Court of the United
States. The Constitution" says
the Court provides that a maj
ority of each (House) shall constitute
a quorum to do business" In other
words, when majority is present
the House is in a position to do
business. Its capacity to transact
business in then established, created
by the mere presence of majority,
and does not depend upon the dis
position, or assent, or action OF any
single member or fraction of the
majority present. All that the Con-
stitution requires is the presence of
a majority, and when that majority
is present the power of the House
arises. The Constitution has ex-
pressed no method of ascertaining
the presence of "a majority, and it is
therefore clearly within the com
potency OF the House to prescribe
any method that shall be reasonably
certain to ascertain the fact.

publicity OF proceedings The sig
natures of the two presiding officers
and of the President was complete
authorization OF that bill, providing
the forms required mad been com
piled with. The suggestion that
there might be a deliberate con
spiracy between presiding officers
and President to make a law not
passed by Congress, the Court SAID
could not hold. The enrolled
act the Court held was con-
elusive. AS to reciprocity, the
Court says, various decisions OF
the Court and the practice OF years
establishes the right OF Congress to
give the President power by pro
clamation, at a future day, to revoke
or modify certain clauses OF the act.
1t holds that 1t was not transfer OF
Legislative power. but simply gave
the President power to determine
whether the time had arrived when
the requirements of Congress as TO
the act had taken effect. The Presl-
dent, the Court says, is not vested
with any real Legislative power.
Congress prescribed the conditions
under which the President should
act.
All he had to ascertain was that
particular fact existed, and then it
was directed that he execute the act.
The President was mere agent OF
the law making power. With re-
spect to sugar bounties, the Court
says the argument that the validity
ofthe whole act is involved in the
question as to whether or not this
clause is valid is so obvious an error
as not TO warrant much argument.
There is no such connection between
this part of the act and the other
sections as to warrant the Court III
assuming that the rest of the act
would not have been adopted but
for the adoption of the bounty sys-
tenn. They are entirely separate in
purpose.
Justice Lamar and Chief Justice
Fuller concurred in the findings of
the Court, but dissented from that
part holding the reciprocity section
constitutional. They held that it
was a transfer of legislative power,
but concurred III the conclusion
reached on the ground that there
was not a vital connection between
the reciprocity section and the tariff
portions of the act.
