GREAT QUESTION
INCONGRESS
Hanging on The Porto
Rican Tariff Bill.
is OF VITAL IMPORTANCE

Does the Constitution Extend
to the Newly Acquired Pos
sessions? The Republicans
Contend 1t Does Not, While
the Democrats Oppose Them
to a Man-Opening of Mo-
mentous Debate Yesterday.
Washington, Feb. l9,-The de-
bate upon the Porto Rican tariff bill,
which is to continue throughout the
week and possibly longer, opened
in the House to-day. On all hands
it is agreed that this bill, although it
applies only to Porto Rico, involving
as it does the question of the power
to govern our new possessions out
side the limitations of the constitu-
ton. is the most important measure
that will come before this Congress.
Interest in the bill is intense
among the members on 10th sides,
and there is urgent demand for time.
The Democrats are sol'dly arrayed
against the measure, and they will
have powerful support from the Re-
publican side in Mr.. Mccall, of Mas.
sachusetts, and Mr. Littlefield, OF
Maine, both able and forcerul de-
baters.
Mr.. Payne, the floor leader of the
majority. refused to agree that vote
should be taken upon a substitute to
be offered by the minority. This
substitute, which has not vet been
framed, will be in substance the bill
originally introduced by Mr.. Payne
providing for free trade with Porto
Rico by the extension of the customs
and revenue laws of the United
States over the island.

MR.. PAYNE OPENS

The House then went into Com
mittee of the Whole with all questions
relating to the close of the debate
open. Mr.. Payne, in charge of
the bill, in opening the debate re-
ceiye marked attention.
This bill, by Its TERMS" he ex-
planned" relates only to the Island
of Porto Rico. 1t cannot be taken
as a proceedent of any Legislative
action in reference to the Philippine
Islands. when the present insurrec-
tion shall have been overcome, ex-
cept in so far as we rssert in our
view of our power under the Ameri-
can constitution.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION
''But our constitutional power is
questioned. 1 find no case where the
Question was directly involved, or
which is decisive.
'Tt is now universally conceded
that we have the power to acquire
territory by conquest or by treaty.
/ find no limit in the constitution to
this power.
sin respect to Porto Rico we are
not hampefed by treaty stipulations
by act of Congress. We have alb
solute power.
"But now the opposition say this
is Imperialism. You are but re-
echoing the cry OF the opposition of
hundred years ago. Still. the
majority moved on, and the Ameri-
can people approved their course.
The territory of louisiana in the
plcnary powers given to the Presl-
dent survived and fourished until
1872, when part of it was organized
into the territory U. Missouri, witL a
Legislature at that late day composed
of Legislative council appointed by
the President and an assembly elect

wisely waited until this people were

Too much cannot be said about the Republican county ticket this year. Election day is now only ten days off, and if good work is to be done at all one hat any good citizen may well be proud of. The personal character of every man on it is above suspicion and the only thing to consider, therefore, is the fitness of the men for the offices to which they aspire. The question can be safely left with all voters who are acquainted with the candidates or who will take the time or trouble. to look up their records and inquire into their capabilities.

Eastern Land Agent:
Care is rad For,

St., Cloud Jourral-Press: John Nc
Elroy has received through the mail
an anonymous letter and with it a.
remittance of SIS to cover the cost
of a cape which he sold to a man
in December representing himself to
be one P. J.Meyer ofSt.J Joseph town.
1t was afterwards learned that he
was not Meyer and last week fellow
named Ethen was arrested in Morri-
son county on the theory that he
was the man who worked the sharp
game. The clerks failed to identi-
fly the man and he was chased but
it was developed that he had re-
ceived the cape from the man who
secured it and had later sold it to a
third party. Today Mr.. McElroy
was not little bit SURPRISED to re-
ceiue the remittance. Evidently the
criminal thought the authorities
were getting too close to him for
comfort. -
