1t has been generally understood that
the government of the United States had
an unimpeachable right to take private
property for public use, provided just COM
persation was made therefor. The Su-
preme Court of the United States will
soon have opportunity to pass upon a de-
cision filed in Philadelphia yesterday by
Judge Dallas Of the United States circuit
court, an opinion in which the Judge in
ssts that the United States has no power to
condemn and take possession of part of the
Gettysburg battlefield because the right to
take private property for public use can
not be exercised, within the limits of the
several states, for any purpose which is not
incident to some power delegated to the
general government, and necessary, or at
least adapted, to it's execution. Judge Dal-
las holds that:
1.-THE powers of Congress are distinctly
enumerated in the Constitution and in that
enumeration none is included to which
the use for which 1t Is proposed to con-
denim this land can be related. without,
In my opinion, enlarging the constitutional
grant by grating upon its express terms a
construction so lax and comprehensive as
to be slbversive of its limited character.
The power to lay and collect taxes to pay
the debts and provide for the common
defense and general welfare of the United
States Is quite distinct from the right to
take private property for public use; and

Information as to the revolution which Is
disturbing Cuba and causing Spain anxi-
ETY. is extremely indefinite just now. Ru-
mors of all sorts are plentiful, and there
is daily announcement to the effect that
the Spanish troops are victorious and the
rebel forces are getting the best of every
engagement. Ore thing seems to be GER
tain. though, and that is that a consider
able number of Americans, mainly south
ern men. have voyaged to the island for
the purpose of allying themselves with the
revolutionary cause. Just how many Of
these active sympathizers are already in
Cuba is not known, but it is understood that
up to this time there are about five hundred
of them. Five hundred ardent Americans
could if uninterfered with by yellow fever
and other diseases common to the regions
in which the revolutionists have established
their camps. do a good deal Of damage
to the royalist cause. Sympathy with the
disafrected Cubans is quite general through
out the United States. but the number Of
those whose sympathy is likely to take
them into the contest Is not large. The
student of human nature will find a rich
field for exploration in the midst of those
Americans who have voluntarily with
drawn themselves from the protection Of
the Stars and Stripes that they might en-
joy the DANCE rous privilege Of fighting
under another flag.

Announcement yesterday by Chief Justice
Fuller that the United States Supreme
Court will on May hear arguments for
and against the petition for rehearing the
income tax suits recently decided was pos
sibly surprising to a good many people,
but the propriety of the courts action will
hardly be questioned. The conditions conse-
Quent upon an evenly divided court are far
from satisfactory, so 1t Is well that the
court has decided to 80 act as to give both
parties to the suits opportunity to make
plain their causes before a full bench;
which by the rapidlyimproving condition
Of Associate Justice jackson is probable on
the date mentioned. Whether the argu-
ment will result in a rehearing of the cases
or not is of course something yet to be de-
veloped. but no matter what the result,
this action Of the court will doubtless be
generally appreciated. 1t looks very much
as If Justice Jackson would decide whether
there shall be a rehearing. as well as dis
pose of the main question, If a rehearing Is
granted. Should the court decide to reopen
the matter, there ought not to be such de-
lay in dealing with 1t as has been sug-
gested. The October term is much too far
away. 1t Is hoped that the court, If it
grants a rehearing, will extend the present
term sufficiently to enable it to hear all the
necessary argument and TO permit the rem
dering of a final opinion at an early date.

In the interview with General Manager
Schoepf of the so-called Belt street railway
line. published In yesterdays Star, that
gentleman made the statement that his
company was assured by those very high
in authority that the road should be given
trolley privileges" 1t would be interesting
end perhaps useful to the public to know
who it was high in authority that gave
these assurances, and also how or why the
alleged promises were never fulfilled. Were
the inducements that secured such assur-
ances withdrawn, or was public SEN

so strongly that the parties to it dared not
carry it out?

Politicians Of both parties have discov-
cred campaign material in the official state
ment Of appropriations made by the third
session of the Fifty-third Congress- state
ment just issued jointly by the clerks of
the Senate and House committees on ap-
propriations. Republicans exult because a
Congress which was self-pledged to econ
omy deliberately appropriated nearly bill
lion dollars, while democrats find apparent
comfort in the fact that the sum which was
authorized to be expended was not a bill
lion dollars, for it amounted to but $685.
239, ,2O5 OF course, 1t Is a matter Of some
Importance to the nation whether Congress
Is or is not an extravagant body, but to
the large and steadily increasing number of
Americans who are not afflicted with fool
ishly-partisan bias there is much of alb
surdity in such controversies as the one
here referred to. About sensible a re-
sponse as could possibly have been made
to the allegation that the Fifty-frst Con-
gress was a "billion-dollar Congress- was
that which insisted that the United States
was a 'billion-dollar country that the
appropriations were no larger than were
actually needed for the proper conduct of
the government. That this was so was
made evident by the Fifty-second Congress,
which. unlike it's predecessor, was demo-
cratic. The Fift7-second appropriated the
sum of sl,027, 104.547. and this it surely
would not have done had the necessity for
such expenditures been lacking AS a mat
ter of fact, there is need today for greater
expenditures than any Congress has ever
made, and the only excuse that can be
given for neglecting great public works
that deserve instant attention is the unsat-
tsfactory condition Of the treasury. That
condition will hardly be permitted to exist
for any considerable length of time-this
country is too abundantly wealthy and re-
sourcefui to allow it's long-continued ex-
istence-so there will not be in the imme-
diate future any sound excuse for much of
the neglect that Congresses have seen fit to
charge to a desire to economize. Wasteful
disbursement Of the public funds will not,
Of course. be sanctioned. but the time is at
hand when the people will insist that sue
cessive national legislatures shall be judged
not by the amounts of money they appro-
pirate but by the results that follow the
appropriations.

no deduction from this doctrine Of the

From this opinion Judge Butler, of the
same court, dissents, arguing that the
government has unquestioned power to
acquire BY condemnation the land now
in the possession of the Gettysburg Trolley
Company-a corporation that has done
serious injury to historic battlefield.
Judge Dallas admits that the end sought
to be promoted in the present instance
"highly commends itself to patriotic senti-
ment and strongly appeals to the generous
impulses of those who esteem the services
Of those by whom the great battle of Get
tysburg was fought and won." but he in
sists that such feelings may not be in
dulged in the place where Justice is judi
cially administered. Judge Butler takes
precisely the opposite view. He says that:
''This battlefield is of transcendent ma
ticral interest. The ground is hallowed
and made sacred by the blood shed upon 1t
at the most important epoch in the ma
tion's hiStory-in the supreme hour or ITS
