There was time when John Adams. as
Vice. President. did strange things He de-
bated questions along with Senators. speak
ing by tho hour. and speaking as frequently. to
say the least as any one else.
No one objected. No one thought OF object
ing. No one then thought OF refusing to run
for Vice. President as Gen. Butler did when
Mr.. Lincoln sent Simon Cameron to him to try
to prevail on him to stand on the ticket for
Vice. President with Mr.. Lincoln. giving as
reason he would have to sit and listen by the
hour to stupid speeches by Senators without
being permitted to say n word himself"
This 10 ono OF the traditions OF tho Senate
How would 1t do to revise itr Vice-President
Stevenson. whenever he should speak. would
be sure to command attention.
To this Senatorial tradition. another not less
sacred can be added. There was time when
George Washington. accompanied by his Sec
rotary OF War. Gen. Knox. entered the Senate
chamber and. taking the Vice-Presidents seat.
proceeded to tell the Senate what were his
wishes and what he wanted them to do. calling
on Gen. Knox to state the reasons why they
should do It.
IL must. In truth 10 history. DC auueu tnaton
one occasion. at least. the Senate declined fat
footed to do as Washington requested them to
do. whereupon the great man rose and. with
his Secretary OF War. abruptly left the Senate.
obviously in a dissatisfied franc Of mind.
1t is not known that Mr.. Cleveland has any
idea Of doing as George Washington did in
this particular. though 1t is we'll known that
he keeps Washington constantly In his mind
as model OF official conduct. But II he should
have such an intention he would be able to

The people of Long Island City who de-
sire that their place shall become part OF the
Greater New York. have determined to carry
the question OF annexation to the polls next
month. The Business Mems Association has
resolved to support those candidates. what
ever party they belong to. who favor the
union. This is the way TO bring about the de-
sired end. and We have not any doubt that it
will be brought about. Considering tho stua-
ton and the relations Of Long Island City. we
do not see how any OF its people can fail to he
aware OF the advantages 1t would possess as
part OF the municipality OF New York.
We like Long Island City. which is a most
attractive place. 1t has grown rapidly in pop
ulation and wealth within recent years. Its
business associations are with this city. II is
famous for its enterprise. Its extensive water
front, its elegant residences. its wide avenues.
and its numerous manufactures. are sources
OF pride to its Inhabitants. 1t would consti-
tute very desirable addition to New York.
and an important factor in our municipal gov
eminent All it's interests would be promoted
by annexation.
We repeat that We like Long Island City. We
cordially invite 1t to Join us. We shall give it
q welcome. and celebrate its annexation. Let
the members OF the business Mems Associa-
ton do their duty at the polls.

convict itself OF violating the Constitution
knowingly and perfldiously.
That makes the task OF the Democratic
Congress very simple. 1t has a plain con-
stitutional principle for its guidance. from
which It cannot depart hairs breadth. On
that principle overy Democrat In Congress
must stand immovable. or he forfeits his
title to the name and betrays the principle
OF his party. He has no choice. He must
obey tho Constitution. He must obey tho
principle OF his party and tho mandate OF
the people, who put 1t in power for tho
purpose OF carrying out that principle by
the absolute destruction OF protection.
Hence the bipartisan disagreement over
the silver question must be succeeded by
complete Democratic accord when the
tariff question comes up before Congress.
Protection must go absolutely. because 1t Is
unconstitutional. For that reason 1t would
have to go. whether good or bad. unless
tho Constitution should be amended ex-
pressly to admit Of it. But 1t is unconstitu-
tional In principle, and in practice 1t Is "a
robbery of the great majority OF tho
American people for the benefit OF few"
1t Is opposed to both constitutional princi-
ple and moral principle.

Court OF Appeals on the ground that there
was no evidence before the Commissioners
OF Taxes to sustain 1t. More than two mill
lions OF the capital stock OF the Edison
company was issued to Mr.. EDISON for
patent rights; and it was argued by the
counsel for the company that this portion
OF the capital was not taxable, inasmuch as
a state possessed no authority to impose q
Tux upon money represented by patents
issued by the United States.
The Court OF Appeals disposed OF the case
in favor of the Edison Company. without
passing upon this particular point. saying !:
This question az to the validity OF tho taxation by
or under stats authority OF patents issued by the
United States for and useful Inventions Is most
important one We do net think necessary to decide
It in this for tho reason that We regard the as
,essment as clearly erroneous upon the assump
tion that the patents are taxable"
This language. which Is used by Judge
RUFUS w. PEcKHAM delivering the unanl-
nous opinion OF the Court. is the plainest
sort OF intimation that there is serious
doubt whether State can tax corporate
property SO far as IL consists OF patents. In
view Of the suggestion. coming from such a
source, it can hardly be long before tho
question will be presented In such way
as to demand a decision. We should
hardly have supposed, however. that the
question was debatable. The Supreme
Court OF the United States has held that
patented articles ARE subject to the police
power of the several States, and we are
unable to see why they are not equally
subject to the taxing power. 80 long as
no distinction Is made against patents
as such. II it may be said that the power
OF taxation as applied to patents could be
used by the State In such a way as to de-
prlve the patents OF any value. the same
argument is applicable to the exercise OF
the police power. In a case which arose In
Kentucky. the State Inspector condemned
a patented burning oil as being unsafe for
Illuminating purposes and the vender was
fined for Offering 1t for sale. The Supreme
Court at Washington decided that the
statute Of Kentucky under which the fine
was imposed was police regulation relat-
ing exclusively to the internal trade OF the
State. and did not intrench upon any au-
thority in respect to patents which was
vested in the national Government. Never
theess. it will be perceived that the effect
OF enforcing the State statute was to render
the patent for this particular oil absolutely
worthless within the limits Of the Common
wealth Of Kentucky.
