favor of the contention that the constitu-
ton follows the flag and four against it,
with Chief Justice Fuller in doubt. If
that be correct the decision will really
rest with the Chief Justice, and he is a
good old-fashioncd democrat While this
guess may not turn out to be right, it was
not wildly made. Members of the
Supreme Court are human, like the rest
of us, and they indicate their belief by
their talk, some of them by lecturng to
law students, some by private converse
ton and some by the tenor of the oues-
tons they asked Of counsel while the
arguments were being made. The jus
tees put down as believing that the Con-
stitution follows the flag are Brewer,
Harlan, White and Brown. and those
holding to the contrary, Mckenna, Gray,
Peckham and Shiras. 1t is uncertain
when the decision will be handed down,
as more arguments on similar case are
to be submitted January 9TH, but it is be-
lieved in Washin ytOn that if it be adverse

Mr.. !. A Wilson, Boston lawyer, who
is in Nashiag ton on business with the

dy bill, against which IL number of repub
lican Senators are threatening to revolt:
1T is wrong in principle and if enacted
into law will establish vicious precedent
If Congress really wants to build up our
merchant marine it will amend the law SO
that those engaged in the business may
purchase their ships or have them built in
any country in the world aud give them
an American registry. This proposition
to give few favored individuals some
millions of dollars for floating the Ameri-
can flag is little short of stealing, and l
am of the opinion that Mr. Hanna's pet
measure will not become law at this SEES
sion of Congress- In order to quiet
some of the republican opposition to the
bill Senator Hanna has indicated his will
ingness to agree to its being amended but
it is not yet certain that any sort of an
amendment will get the bill through

CUBA'S FOREIGN RELATIONS

1t is minated on "semi official au-
thority' in Washington, says the Bal
tim nc Sun, that the claims of Euro
pean Governments against Cuba for
losses sustained by foreigners during
the revolt against Spanish rule will
make it necessary for the United
States to control the foreign relations
OF Cuba" If the United States is to
control Cuba's foreign relations perma-
nent it may he only matter Of time
before it insists on regulating the dc
mestc affairs Ct the Cubans. Then
we will 10 sibly he confronted with a
situation similar to that which has
grown out of the assertion OF British
Gains in South Africa. Tie Trans
vaal Republic was given independence,
but Great Britain claimed the control
of its foreign relations. Next. the
British Government arrogated to it,
self the right to dictate certain modifi-
cations of the Transvaal's election laws
and the methods of taxation. The re-
suit is a war which has lasted IA
months, cost half billion of dollars
and the loss of many thousands Of pre-
cious lives. For the United States to
give Cuba independence with string
tied to it would be to nulify the SOL
emn pledges made by Congress and to
discredit this country in the estima-
ton Of all whose opinion is worth hav-

Senate. Strong representations have
been made by the Treasury Depart

internal revenue taxes as much as
would be done by the House bill. II
these representations are needed, and
it would seem that they must be, the
House bill must be materially modified

In commenting upon the appoint
ment of a road engineer for Baltimore
county under an Act of the last Legisla-
ture, the Sun makes some practical re-
marks which are of general interest. The
law which was enacted largely through
the personal efforts OF Mr.. Redmond
C. Stewart, one of the ablest members
OF the House of Delegates, is, the Sun
thinks, "the first intelligent attempt
by any of the counties Of the State to
enter upon systematic plan of road
improvement" Continuing, our able
contemporary says: "If the plan sue
ceeds it will he an ohject-lesson to the
whole State. Other counties will
adopt the same methods, and more will
be done to advance the general wealth
and prosperity than can well be esti-
mated. Success or failure depends
largely, it is believed, upon the char
acter OF the engineer appointed 10y Vie
Governor. The curse of the road sys-
TEN in this State has been politics and
ignorance. Millions of dollars have
been expended in repairing and making
public roads, and it is safe to say that
nine-tcnths Of the sum appropriated
for roads in the past has been lost and
squandered because its expenditure
was intrusted to people who were alb
solutely ignorant of the business and
science OF making roads. They. have
been people selected because of politi-
cal considerations or local considera-
tions and without any regard whatever
for fitness"
