ARE VOYAGES TOO sLOWp

The -four day liner" is the term used in
speaking Of the proposed new thirty knot trans
atlantic steamship. But 1t is not yet a fact
and there are many intelligent persons on the
other side of the Atlantic well this side
who not sanCuine that so great a stride in
speed Will be made in the near future. 1t has
been said by many that the present six day
ships move at the highest speed that can be
proftably attained. In a table prepared for
THE Scientific American" it is shown that the
expense per trip of four day liner would be
81 per cent more than that of the Deutschland,
which is the largest and fastest ship In
the transatlantic steamship trade, and that her
first cost would be nearly double that of the
deutschland
In an article on Decades of Speed" recently
published in The London Shipping World" 1t
shown that in proportion to the weight
moved a twenty three knot boat required 90
per cent more power To gain II per cent on the
speed of a slower vessel Whether or not the
extra cost to gain this slight increase of speed
is worth their while Is a question TO he decided
10y the owners. some of whom have said that
when The question Of comfort of the passengers
is considered the twenty-three knot ship has
rOthing 10 offer against her twenty-One knot
competitor. \ large proportion Of the passen-
gers who cross the Atlantic are not proof
against seasickncSS, and 10 this class the first
NV" days of the voyage are not agreeable in
experience nor pleasant in memory; hence
four day trip might not appeal 10 those who
could enjoy and be benefited by the remaining
days of the voyage that six eight day ship
would give them. Then. too, the factor of
safety is higher in the slower ship. for when
machinery is working night and day ut its
highest pitch ii Is, in the nature of things, more
liable 10 accident than when 1t is not under such
n tremendous strain. II is question whether
ocean voyagers do not appreciate the advan-
tagcS of travelling on a ship that is not hurried
so desperately. but which gets there" in safety
and in rCa sonahc time.

ANTI-IMPERIALIsTs AND THE COURT.

The anti-imperialists are looking forward with
a great deal of interest and apprehension TO the
forthcoming consideration by the United States
Supreme Court OF the constitutional status of
National territory Their interest is natural
land we can understand their fears of a decision
adverse to them, unfolding as constitutional to-
sday the plenary exercise OF power in the terri
tories without reference to the Constitution
(which accepted as entirely proper when
Jefferson and Madison ruled Louisiana with
F'royal powers in conflict with the provisions
of the Constitution for the government OF all
TERRITORY TO which it applied, and when Monroe
and John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson
governed Florida in defiance Of the administra-
tive rules of the Constitution.
We regret. however. TO note some disposition
ito discredit the court In advance, apparently
with the idea Of keeping up an agitation after
the decision. should IL be in favor OF the Admin
sistratiOns policy instead of accepting the result

1.-THE Springfield Republican, reviews the his
TORY OF the bred Scott case and charges that
slhe pro-savery Victories in the campaign Of
1856 and In previous elections bOlstered up the
.najority in the court TO take the extreme pro-
slavery SIDE and that Republican success in
1856 might have produced a much modified if
not totally different decision respecting the pro-
sdecton OF slavery In the territories by the Fed
seral Constitution. 1t also regards the decision
on the income tax as a political decision and
thinks that, SO long as the elections may seem
TO indicate that the American people are deter
mined to hold the islands, but unwilling 10
admit them under the Constitution and out
them on the road 10 Statehood, it NAV be ex-
trefnely difficult for Judges to resist what is
regarded as a popular current
InasInuch as the bred Scott decision that the
Constitution did OF its own force extend 10 the
Territories and cast about slavery its protec-
ton lis the mainstay Of the anti-imperialists II
Is rather amusing to find them discreditipg II.
Nor DO we quite see their object in practising
thus early the beaten party's inalienable right

election for fear of reproach and they know
that In case of a decision contrary to their
view they will settle down to an administrator
of the islands in accordance with II without
shock or danger.
