and had been approved by Mr. McKin-
ley. In effect it repudiated the doctrine
that the Constitution follows the flag,
and made Congress superior TO the Con-
stitution by declaring the righ of that
body to full legislative power over ter
ritory belonging to the United States,
subject only TO the fundamental. safe
guards OF liberty. justice and personal
rights
inasmuch as the United States Su-
preme Court is itself engaged in study
OF this very question. il must be ac-
knowledged that the President and his
immediate advisers are recklessly eager
to go the fullest lengths OF Imperialism
regardless Of what may be the Supreme
Courts Interpretation of this especial
problem developed by Imperialism. 1t is
to be regretted that the members of the
subcommittee Of the Republican Plat
form Committee We're SO much saner
and less under the glamour of the dream
OF Empire than the President as to re-
tect this remarkab bic platform declara-
ton. Otherwise the refreshing spectacle
might have been presented of the Pres
ident taking direct issue with the Su-
preme Court ON this all-important con-
stitutional point. Even as matters now
stand, the American people should not
miss the significance of this rejected
plank. which went before the Platform
Committee OF the Republican National
Convention with all the weight in its
favor possible to Mr. Mckinley's hearty
Endorsement.

SHINING AGAINST LIBERTY.

Correspondent CARL Decker's dark
picture Of the extravaganza and in
efficiency prevailing in the provisional
American government of Cuban affairs
is rendered darker still by the reason
which he assigns for this unhappy con-
dition.
According to Mr.. Decker's study of the
situation, the present American control
Of Cuba Is established on q stop-gap
basis the dominating principle of which
is to suppress all scandals of malad-
ministration during the progress of the
presidential campaign in this country
and to smooth the way for the Ameri-
can annexation of the island. There is
no thought of duty to the Cubans or of
the justice which demands an economic
al handling Of the revenues collected
from an impoverished people. The
wishes Of the imperialist administration
in Washington are alone considered, and
the administration Is figuring out how
to grab Cuba, not how to train the
Cubans In self government.
This is q humiliatipS and shameful
condition, and apparently 1t Is but the
first chapter of history that will be
humiliating and shameful throughout if
the Mckinley empire -plotters are al
| lowed to remain in power. With the
present administration returned to office
for an additional four years the way
VIII then be open for the permanent
| subjusation of the Cubans under the
| orders of the greedy American syndi-
Gates who have resolved upon exploiting
| TO their own advantage the resources. Of
that island. By trickery or force Cuba
win be annexed and a carpetbag gov
ernment established that will fully open
the field to syndicate looting. Mr.. Nc
kinley's manifest destiny" will prevail
| to bring about the breaking Of the
solemn American pledge for the national
independence Of Cuba.
The American people will be to blame
If this shameful record is made. The
way to prevent it is to hurl the i'm
perialists from power and to place an
American administration at the head of
American affairs. That will be a proud
| day in our history when We shall wit
! ness the Inauguration of President
| who will fulfill our solemn covenant
! with Cuba and serve notice to the world
that honor, justice and liberty still pre-
vail in American government and
American policies.
