will Quay be Admitted.


Congress meets next Monday week.
and on the question of ex-senator
Quay's admission as a member OF the
Senate, the Pittsburg Times says;
THAT body must soon take up TINS
importsnt question. Even were there
not an unbroken line of precedents ex-
tending from the earliest years OF Fed
eral history down to the last Congress
against seating appointees to the Senate
in cases where Legislatures had failed
to elect, it is difficult to see how the
Senate can constitutionally seat Col
Quay upon the credentials which ne
will present to that body.
There are but two ways in which a
title to a seat in the United States
Senate can be given-election by Leg
islature and, under certain constitution
al limitations, appointment by the
Governor That Col. Quay was not
elected by the Legislature is not in dis
pute. The Constitution OF the United
States thus regulates the power of ap-
pointment by the Governor OF any
State:
And if vacancies happen, by resigna.
ton or otherwise, during the recess OF
the Legislature of any State, the execu-
tive thereof may make temporary ap.
pointments until the next meeting OF
the Legislature, which shall then I'LL
the vacancy.
The vacancy in one of the United
States Senatorships from Pennsylvania
did not occur during the recess OF the
Legislature" 1t occurred on March 4,
1899, when the Legislature was not only
in session, but was balloting daily for
a Senator to fill it, In strict pursuance
of the law governing Senatorial cleo
tions, it continued to ballot daily until
adjournment. 1t was a plain, clear
case of a Legislature failing to elect,
and was in no sense case which made
it proper and right for the Governor to
appoint.
So plain and clear was the case that
Gov. Stone himself recognized it. The
Constitution of Pennsylvania thus pro-
yides:
In case of a vacancy in the Office Of
United States Senator from this Com
monwealth in a recess between sessions,
the Governor shall convene the two
houses. by proclamation, on notice not
exceeding sixty days, to fill the same.
This is the constitutional mandate.
Coy. Stone did not convene the two
houses, by proclamation, on notice not
exceeding sixty days, to fill the same. .
He appointed Col. Quay to the Senatori-
al vacancy By this very act he ad-
mitted that this vacancy did not happen
during the recess of the Legislature.
Either he made that admission or he
deliberately violated the Constitution OF
Pennsylvania by not convening the
Legislature. But that the Legislature
was not in recess is too patent to need
argument. 1t is matter of common
knowledge. Then, since the executive
Of any State is only empowered to ap-
point a Senator when a vacancy hap
pens during the recess of the Legisla
ture," Gov. Stones appointment of Col
Quay is without warrant of either the
Federal or the State Constitution.
The personality of the appointee tc
the United States Senate does not entel
into this question, nor has it any bear
ing whatever upon it. The sole issue
Ia one Of constitutional power and right
stand above the personality or aspira
tions of any man"

THE wonderful ability of the Japa-

natives. They wish it plainly under
stood, says Commercial Intelligence,
that Japan is for the japanese. A
student at the university planned a
work of great interest. He conceived
the idea of building canal to connect
two lakes of different attitudes. He
tunneled mountains and overcame other
difficulties, but the chief point of inter
est lies in the fact that he built rail
road over which the canal boats were
transported as they left the water to
the next lake. Electricity was used,
and enough was generated to light the
city of Kioto and furnish power to sixty
factories.

THE PHILIPPINE REPORT.

The preliminary report of the Philippine
Commission is by far the most import
ant contribution that has been made to
our knowledge of the situation in the
archipelago and towards right under
standing of our obligations and duties
there. 1t was written after thorough
investigation by men who wished to
find out the truth. 1t is authoritative
and, for present purposes, final. To our
thinking, it leaves no room for further
controversary.
The conclusions of the commissioners
are not a mere matter of opinion, but
are supported by large mass of evl-
dence, which will be presented with
their final report. The most important
facts shown are these:
1. We made no alliance with Aguln-
aldo.
.. He deliberately provoked war with
us.
3. His insurrection is not struggle
for independence in any such sense as
the struggle of the American colonlsts
was; for if he could succeed in war, his
success would be followed by anarchy.
A. The inhabitants of Luzon, as well
as of the other islands, are yet incapable
of self government, and our plain duty
is to help them towards it. The only
way to help them is at present to gov
ern them, and gradually to lead them to
an understanding of the fundamental
principles of government, of which they
are yet ignorant.
5. The beginnings of self government
under our guidance in the towns where
it has already been inaugurated promise
well.
6. The only honorable and possible
thing to do is to hold the archipelago,
and to develop both its people and its re-
sources, which are valuable.
There can be no room for argument,
it seems to us, about these fundamental
propositions, which are all fortified by
Mr.. Worcester in this number of the
Weekly. Mr.. Worcester is the highest
authority that we have on the condition
of civilization, as well as on the natural
history, of the archipelago scientific
student both of the people, whose Ian
guage he speaks and whom he has
known for many years, and of the re-
sources of the islands. He was once op-
posed to our permanent occupation, but
he now regards it as our duty. The
testimony of such man is worth a
worldful of sentimental and academic
literature and mere political talk.-Har-
pers Weekly.
