THE TARIFF STAINED

The Supreme Court Of the United
States Monday dealt two heavy blows
ut the II pes of the free traders and the
Democrats. One case deciued was that
of the validity of the wooden and worst
ed resolution, which was assailed ON the
ground that on the vote by which it was
passed in the House a quorum was
counted by Speaker Read. The decS-
ion of the Court, sustaining the act thus
enacted, is of interest and importance
from its bearing upon the prOpriety and
Legality of the rules assailed with so
much bitterness by the Democrats, as
well as because of its effect upon the
tariff schedules.
But far more important, however, is
the decision of the Court uphOlding the
consUitutionality of the Mckinley tariff
act. The contention of the importers
who brought the suits intended to test
the validity of the act was threefold.
They maintained that the form in which
the bill was passed was not the form it
was signed by the President, the clause
providing for the payment of tobacco
rebate, which was a part of the bill
voted on, having been omitted through
the error of an engrUssing clerk. They
claimed that the clause of the bill under
which the reciprocity treaties have been
negotiated was unconstitutional, in that
il conferred upon the President, it was
alleged, legislative functions which,
under the Constitution, cOnld be exer-
cised only by Congress. Finally, it was
argued that the sugar bounty provided
for in the act was not constitutional, be-
cause Congress has no right to tax all
the people in order that tue money col
lected may be handed over to few.
As to the first point, the Court decides
that the signature of the President and
the two presiding officers of Congress
were complete authorization of the
bill. Upon the second issue, the decis-
ion is that no Legislative powers are con-
feIred on the President in the recipro-
city section of the act, but that the
powers conferred are only those neces-
sary to carry out the provisions of legis-
lation, there being abundant precedents
for authorizing the President to deter
mine the time when the requirements of
an act were met and announcing the fact
by proclamation AS 10 the third point,
the Court wastes few words upon it, but
decides that there is no evidence that the
sugar bounty system was the reason for
the adoption OF the rest of the act.
1t is painful, of course, to have the Su-
preme Court of the United States in con-
ilict with such eminent and impartial
expounders of constitutional law as the
New York EpeniHg Post and other or
gans Of the foreign manufacturers and
importers; but it is well to have the
fact established that if the Mckinley act,
which, during the short time it has been
in operation, has greatly stimulated and
strengthened American industries, is tObe
overthr0wn, it must be by direct attack,
not by pettifOgging quibbles.-Boston

The spring town and city elections in
the State of New York this week are
regular Hill Waterloo. Not only are the
Republicans disgusted with Hillism and
Tammanyism but many Democrats show
by their votes that they are disgusted
too. The people have had a chance to
speak and the voice has no uncertain
sound. Duchess County-always Dem
ocraUic, and standing last year Is to Sis
reversed and elects 10 Republicans to
seven Democratic supervisors. Elmira,
Hills own city, repudiates the Demo
cratic dictator and would-be President.
And SO it goes. Only in Troy the Dem
Ocrats had full swing. The usual Demo-
cratic majority of 1900 is swelled by re-
peaters and cOunt-Outs to over 5000
majority. This system counting is what
may be expected next Autumn.

The Linton Season.

Pope Leo XIII, has written to the
bishops of the world authorizing them
to dispense their subjects from the laws
of abstinence and of fast and letter tD
that effect has been issued bv Bishop de
Goesbriand of the diocese of Burling.
In this letter he says:
As compensation for the dispense
ton granted, Leo XIII, exhorts us To
appease the anger of God by works Of
charity, the Reorganization of the Sacra-
ments and fidelity to attend the services
of the Church.
AS means to exercise charity,we suR-
gest that contributions to the Sunday
collection be made more liberal as long
as these days of trials last. A part Of
these contributions might be employed
by the pastors to help the poor or for
the propagation of the faith. Those who
will avail themselves of the concession
granted by the Pope are invited to recite
the litany of the holy name of Jesus as p
compensation for the nOn-observance Of
fast and abstinence. Prayer and the 70
ception of the Sacraments being the
means to obtain the favors of Heaven,
we expect that the beads will be recited
every day during the forthcoming Lent;
and as we have contributed by our sins
to draw down the anger of God upon the
world, let us by penance and confession
hasten the cessation of our Affections.
We desire the reverend pastors of souls
to give three times in the week, besides
Sundays during Lent, the Benediction of
the Blessed Sacrament. This solemn
function should begin by singing three
times the antiphon, PGrce DOmine, fol-
lowed by the invocation of the Sacred
Name or Jesus, an antiphon to the bles-
sed Virgin lad Hbitum), the recitation of
the litany of the holy name of Jesus in
the vernacular language, and the Taa-
tum Ergo.

Official denials made in the most posi-
tive and sweeping terms were not con-
sidered at all in the discussion in the
street Wednesday as to the causes for
the advance in the Delaware and Hud-
son stock. The tape showed that some
thing was going on, and the strength
in the Vanderbilt stocks was taken as
evidence that New York Central was in
some way to be the gamer Men who
are credited with engineering the deal
either refuse to answer questions or dis
claim any knowledge of it. No verifica-
ton of the rumor could be obtained, but
the report that seemed most plausible
was that the buying of Delaware and
Hudson was by an interest representing
both New York Central and Erie. The
New York Central people are sup
posed to have had for some time do
sire for closer relations with the Della
ware and Hudson.
