lands and their people inconsistent
with the constitution-that 1t to say
while Spain could govern the Fill
pinos as she saw fit she could not
convey any such power to the United
States.
Mr. Harrison sums up his view OF
the matter in these sentences:
But the theory of the constitution
is that is embraces both territory and
people, though this is contested by
many.
Congress seems to have assumed
the negative. though there was not
entire harmony in regard to THAI.
1T was contended by most of these
that the constitution expands itself
wholly upon that part of the national
domain that has been organized into
states and mas no authority in the
Territ tories, save as Congress decides
To govern and rule over them.
All these general provisions of the
constitution which impose limitations
( upon the legislation must apply to all
regions and 10 all people whom or upon
where these powers are exercised.
ON the other hand. those who deny
mat the constitution applies to the
territories seem practically to allow
that much of it does
lie takes the ground that If the con
stitution does not extend, ex proprio
vigorc.' to all territory belonging to
the United States then il can never
h. made to apply to such territory
with absolute certainty of promi-
hence. because If it be extended by
act of Congress it can be withdrawn
by simply repeating the act. This
would seem TO make 1t impossible that
Hawaii, Porto Rico or the Philippines
could ever be enacted into sovereign
States because they would be only ter
ritory under the constitution.
While, of course, the Supreme Court
Will settle the legal question involved
! permanently and authoritatively. prob
ably at an early day. General Harri-
sons views SHOULD serve as a warning
to conservative men of both parties
| in Congress not TO outline a program
in advance based upon the sole as
/ sumption that the constitution does
/ not follow the flag. otherwise n deci-
/ sion that il does follow the flag may
/ produce a crisis that will have to be
met on the spur of the moment. If

formed in this. the outlook for the Sub

The truth is that the Subsidy bill is

Every Senator has constituents clamor-
inS for protection for lhis or that in

in a tariff bill. Senator Allison's con-
stituents, Tor example. have nothing to
expect from a ShipSubsidy bill and
are. therefore. not likely to exert amy
pressure on him in its favor. This is
the inherent weakness of the measure
it permits TOO few to share in the rake
off. Also, at bottom, there are prob
ably not few Republican Senator's
who do not take kindly to Mr.. Hanna's
rather brusque assumption that he is
he whole thing in the Senate, and who
are not sorry OF an opportunity to

RAILWAY CONSULTATIONS.

Close Observers of The industrial dritt

eyer since the ERA Of consolidation
tirst forced itself upon public atten-
Ion that the tendency to combine
would eventuate in the practical union
81 All the great railway interests of
he country in one system. From re-
cent events it would appear that this
contamination is now in sight.
The public is already familiar with
One consultations that have left only
two really important railroad systems
IN the East. the smaller systems while
oStensibly still independents being con-
'r"iled in reality by holders of a ma
jority OF their stool, who are likewise
stockholders in the larger systems.
Now the same principle has been ex-
iended to the great transcontinental
lines and their subsidiary systems in
The West. Thus the Northern Pacific
the Great Northern. the Eric and the
Chicago. Milwaul,ee K St. Paul are
now admitted to be under the same
