THE PLATFORM.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
PHILADELPHIA Pa, June 1S-The platform
makers are having their troubles over the
financial plank. The rest of the platform

powerful influences strive to have added
to It something that will hold out some
hope for the future of silver TO Repupli-

troubles.
Serator wolcott of Colorado who ia to

and Senator Tom Carter of Montana for

TOO FAR FORWARD.

The Cabinet has presented it's appro-
priations for the ensuing biennial peri
cd. It does not seem clear why the
Council of State should be asked to
appropriate money for the two ensuing
years. The Council of State is not the
legal body for voting appropriations.
It is going to vote them by the law of
President Mckinley acquiesces in and
gives his consent to this law of neces-
sity.
But long before the biennial period
is over We shall have our territorial
Legislature, and then the appropriations
made by the Council of State will be
null and void, and law will have taken
the place of necessity. The appropria-
tions asked for by the Minister'S and
their expenditure of funds will then
be open to discussion by the represen-
tatives of the people. Why appropriate
money then for period when the ex-
penditures will be ruled by an entirely
different body, which is not likely to
agree with either the present Cabinet
or the views of the present Council of
State.
A year ahead seems quite long
enough to have appropriated money
for. Even if our organic law was not
in working shape by that time, which
IS unlikely, it would be easy enough to
call the Council of State together ct
the end OF the year. There is no ex-
pense in calling the Council together.
It's members receive no pay. nor can
they even claim mileage. We should
be saved the spectacle of gentlemen
preparing work and making estimates
for something which will never be car
Iied out.
In dealing with an anomalous con-
dhtion such as the present is, we should
be extra careful not to grasp at too
much, but to use our manifestly
stretched power of the Council of State
as moderately and as modestly as pos
siole. And to appropriate money for
TWO years ahead, by a body whose
powers are purely for emergency pur-
poses is neither modest nor moderate
