CONGRESS AND TERRITORIES.

The question of expansion is bring
ing forward a mass of information up
of the legal status of territories. The
main subject of contention is, are or
are not the territories directly subject
to the Legislative authority Of the
United States. Judge Morrow's deci-
sion was quoted in June by the San
Francisco Argonaut, in that the judge
alluded to the now well established
doctrine that the territories of the
United States are entirely subject to
the legislative authority of congress"
This the American Law Review ques-
toned, and among other citations quot
ed Justice fancy, who ruled that Con-
gress cannot govern the territories out
side Of the constitution or in disregard
of those fundamental rights guaran-
teed by that instrument" These two
quotations probably show the opposite
extremes of the argument in the
course Of the debate now going on in
Congress, but countless citations are
being hunted up pro and con. When it
comes to backing up an argument by
citations so Numerically opposite the
result may be assured. The greatest
number of votes will prove which set
are right, just as the god of battles sits
on the side of those who have the larg-
est bhttalions.
There are undoubtedly strong argu-
ments in favor of the position taken by
Judge Morrow and Senator Plat in
his speech brought many of them out.
Quoting Justice Bradley, in the Nor
mon Church case, the statement reads,
1.-The power of Congress over the ter
ritories of the United States is general
and plenary, arising from and inciden-
tai to the right to acquire the terrific
ny itself, and from the power given by
the Constitution to make all needful
rules and regulations respecting the
territory or other property belonging
to the United States. 1t would be alb
surd to hold that the United States has
power to acquire territory and no pow
er to govern it when acquired"
Chief Justice Waite ruled in the
case of the National Bank VS.. County
of Yankton, Congress may not only
abrogate laws of the territorial legis-
latures, but it may itself legislate di-
rectly for the local government. 1t
may make a void act of the territorial
Legislature valid and a valid act void.
In other words it has full and complete
legislative authority over the people
of the territories and ali departments
of the territorial government. 1t may

The Board of Education has acted
properly in repudiating $50 copies of
the Short History of the Hawaiian

chapter had been added. 1t seems a
very extraordinary proceeding to tam

under the name of man of such note
as Professor Alexander, and never
show him even the courtesy of submit
ting a proof to his revision. The great
aim of Professor Alexander in getting

tirely free from prejudice as possible.

The papers are again talking about a
disagreement between Sir Henry 1rv-

Sir Henry denied it emphatically.
Where two artists have been connect

as they did together. This was the
case with the Gilbert and Sullivan

they made when producing that Won

Savoy theater. In the interests of dra-
matte art it is to be hoped the reports
are not true.

under the Constitution of the United
States may do for the States"
The above seems to be very COM
Congress in dealing with territories,
and teaches us here exactly how we
stand in relation to the United States
at the present time. Whatever we do
we do practically on sufferance, and
upon the arbitrament of Congress de-
ponds what we shall be permitted to
do Mr.. Justice Mathews, however, is
even more explicit. In the case of
Murphy VS.. Ramsey, the justice said
this question is no longer open to dis
cussion. 1t has passed beyond the
stage of controversy into final judg
ment." The full text of this portion Is
here appended
THE people of the United States as
sovereign owners of the national terri
tories, have supreme power over them
and their inhabitants. In the exercise
of this sovereign dominion, they are
United States, to whom all powers of
government over that subject have
been delegated, subject only to such
restrictions as are expressed in the
Constitution, or are necessarily impli-
ed in it's terms, or in the purposes and
objects of the power itself; for it may
well be admitted in respect to this, as
to every power of society over it's mem
bers that it is not absolute and unllm-
tied. But, in ordaining government for
the territories and the people who in
habit them all the discretion which be-
longs to legislative power is vested in
Congress; and that extends, beyond all
controversy, to determining by law,
from time to time, the form of the To-
cal government in a particular terri
tory, and the qualifications of those
who shall administer it. 1t rests with
Congress to say whether, in a given
case, any of the people resident in the
territory shall participate in the cleo
| ton of it's officers or the making of
| it's laws; and it may therefore take
from them any right of suffrage it
may previously have conferred, or at
any time modify or abridge it as it
may deem eXpedient. The right of the
local self government, as known to
our system as a constitutional fran
chise, belongs, under the Constitution,
to the States and to the people there
of by whom that constitution was or
tn Nuh nv &c oil
| power not conferred by it upon the
government of the United States was
expressly reserved. The personal and
civil rights of the inhabitants of the
territories are secured to them, as to
other citizens, by the principles of the
constitutional liberty, which restrain
all the agencies of government, state
and national. Their political rights
are franchises which they hold as pri-
vileges in the legislative discretion of
the Congress of the United States"
There is much food for thought in
the quotation given. They bear upor

er cases as well. According to this one
method of dealing with the Hawaiian
Islands, another with Porto Rico, an.
other with Cuba, and yet another with
the Philippines can be adopted. What
is done in one territory need not neces.
sarily be done in another. 1t is in the
province of Congress to determine just
as it chooses. The locus standi fol

vertible.

The Nicaragua canal bill came very
nearly going through on the 18th.
Amendment after amendment upon
Senator Morgan's bill was voted down,
but finally one from Senator Allison
blocked the way. However, as things
look now, it is likely that the bill will
be successfully carried. AS Commits
sioner S. A. Knapp said when he pass
ed through here, it is very probable
that the Nicaragua canal will be com
pleted just in the nick of time for the
Islands. 1t is a matter of the greatest
moment to us on the Islands that the
canal should be built, and when it is
completed it will come as another boom
in our national fortunes.

The Rockies First Toll Gate

The first toll gate ever built out in
the Rocky Mountains was on the IA
nous Ration Pass, near where the old
Sante Fe trail crossed from Colorado
into New Mexico, and as one might ex-
pect 1t was a very unpopular institu-
ton. The trail over the pass was built
by Rfchens Lacy Wooton. an eccentric
Virginian, who went into the Indian
country in 1886 and became one of the
most famous and influential of from
tiersmen. He was Familiarity known
as Uncle Dick" Wooton from one end
Of the Santa Fe trail to the other. He
was a great favorite among the In
dams and was very influential among
the whites. says the Chicago Record.
He had many remarkable adventures
and narrow escapes.
The Ration Pass. through which the
old Santa Fe trail ran, was the worst
part of the journey. 1t was difficult
for any wheeled vehicle to get over
that narrow rock-ribbed barrier. I'm.
clc Dick went to Colorado and New
Mexico and got charters from the leg
islatures for toll road, which he built
and attempted to operate in 1866 Such
a thing as a toll road was then I'M
known west of the Mississippi River,
and after the difficult work of con-
struction, cutting out hillsides, blast
ing away lodges OF rock and building
bridges over the gorges, Uncle Dick
found that his trouble was only just
begun. The stage company and the
military authorities and the caravans
OF freight for Santa Fe appreciated the
advantage Of good road over those
rough mountains, and we're willing to
pay toll to maintain it, but the Next
cans and the Indians could not COM
prehend the necessity of paying for
the privilege Of travelling, and Uncle
Dick had some very interesting ex-
periences running his toll gate.
There was often an honest differ
ence of opinion" Uncle Dick said, be
tween the man who kept the toll gate
and the man who wanted to get
through it. Such differences had to be
adjusted. Sometimes they were ad-
justed by diplomacy and sometimes by
gun. They were always settled,
however, in one way, and that was in
accordance with the regular schedule
of rates, and l was never guilty of dis
elimination"
