ELECTION. LII the uneXplreu
term of the la.
mented Senator Hayward will, as a
matter of course, it is said by knowing
ones, be taken up as soon as the
legislature is convened and organized.
The law and regulations which apply
to the ordinary elections of United
States senators, upon the expiration of
each six years term, cannot be so con-
strued-some allegedly good lawyers
declare-as to prevent or postpone
immediate elections to fill vacancies
caused by death; and subsequently
made malignant by gubernatorial
appointees, like Allen, who bristle all
over with "the stings of ingratitude."
If this really is the law, why not
elect somebody and eject Longtalker
Allen on the first day of the next session
of the legislature of Nebraska? That
somebody will represent the conscience
and intelligence of this commonwealth.
1t is important, therefore that he be an
able, honest, cultivated man.

required at this
session to pass upon claims amounting
to $25, 10000 most of which are for
property alleged to have been destroyed
during the civil war. A part of these
claims may be founded upon equity, but
the bulk of them are originated by un-
scrupulous citizens who employ the
assistance of equally unscrupulous
lobbyists to push them through congress.
1t is nearly forty years since the close of
the civil war and the government would
long ago have satisfied any just and
reasonable demand presented for pay
ment. 1t is quite probable that claims
of this character would have been
brought to the attention of congress
before this time. There would be no
object in delaying the presentation of
proofs in meritorious cases.

gan, upon the "Status of Annexed Ter.
ritory and of its Civilized Inhabitants"
declared that the constitution follows
the flag and that the theory of terri
torial annexation of the administration
was not in accord with American his
tory. General Harrison's address is of
peculiar interest at this time as the ques-
tion is now before the supreme court of
the United States for settlement, and
the ex-president appears as counsel in
support of the principle of the applica-
tion of the constitution to the newly
acquired territory.
ga government of unlimited and abso.
lutte executive powers" says General
Harrison, lis not an
American govern
ment. For one, I do not believe the
makers of our Constitution ever intend
ed to confer the power of any such gov
ernment over any one in the Constitu-
tion 1t is not right to say that because
of slavery our fathers did not mean all
men. 1t is different thing to allow an
existing condition to continue from cre-
ating an entirely different condition to
meet commercial necessity.
"Perhaps it should be asked further
whether the rule of equal taxation must
apply to all people. The instructions of
the president to the Philippine Commits
sion seem to indicate that the Constitu-
tion must apply to any government that
should be established there. The pro-
visions our fathers fought for were
for rights, not for privileges. No man
can read that schedule of rights which
the president gave to the Philippine
Commission, in an inverse order, with
out horror. Did you ever read one of
the treaties made by the United States
with an Old World Power? On one
side they speak of the subjects of her
Majesty and on the other the citizens
of the United States Now if these
provisions, guaranteed to citizens
of the United States, do not ap-
ply to the citizens of the Philippine
Islands, it is time for us to amend these
treaties by adding and subjects after
the words, 'and citizens of the United
States.
"The Constitutional provisions regu.
lating the crime Of treason seem to ap-
ply to these people. We have never had
any trouble with this question in our
government of the territories before.
What have we been doing? Have we
acquired these territories that we might
hold them for crown colonies? There

seem that we should seek to find way
to govern this territory that providence
has thrown upon us, for which we paid
$40, 100000.
"But don't you see that there is a
graver peril hanging over us? Are the
Dangerous Precedent. rights OF the peo'
pie upon the
mainland secure when we exercise arbi-
trary power over people from whom we
demand entire obedience? The flag can
not stand for the benevolent policies of
the administration. It must stand for
permanency. Is it not mockery to
raise the flag over the people of Porto
Rico and bid them respect it, and then
issue to them an absolute power of
government from the staff beneath? If
the act of annexation does not carry the
Constitution, I can think of nothing
that does. The Constitution goes to an
nexed territory because of the act.
GA gentleman wrote me that it was
absolutely necessary to pass the Porto
Rican tariff to protect the beet sugar
business. I thanked him but I could
not see that it referred to the question.
The fact that we give all the money
secured by the tariff back to Porto Rico
does not affect the question. 1t did not
satisfy our fathers when it was proposed
to expend the money derived from the
Stamp Act in this country.
"These Constitutional questions will
soon be settled by the supreme court.
If the court shall hold that the Consti.
tutional provisions extend to all por-
tions of the United States, and all por-
tions that are governed by the United
States, then we shall conform our
legislation and policy to this doc
trine, and be sorry that we have
ever held them at length in the govern
ment we offered them. The question
of whether the government can take and
control a hostile people is not Consti-
tutional provision, but one of conditions
which exist. The consent of the gov
erned to legislative action is an entirely
different question. The entire written
Constitution provides no rule for this
question. The right to conquer and
hold territory is different question
from the question of how we shall gov
ern that territory when we have
acquired it.
II have been making no argument
against expansion. The recent acquisi-
tions from Spain may present question
of greater loss than gain. You will
pardon me if cannot rejoice because of
the requirement of territory which must
be governed by authority rather than by
the provisions of that grand old Cousti-

"Can China be saved?"

Is the title of an exhaustive article by
'ralcott Williams in the Review of Re-
views for September. Mr.. Williams pos
sesses a rare fund of information on
Oriental subjects, and he has definite
programme to offer for the solution of
the world-problem in China. Taking as
a model the Imperial Customs Service,
so long and ably administered by Sir
Robert Hart, Mr.. Williams proposes to
organize the Chinese government in a
system of commissions, under nominally
Chinese control, but differed by Euro
peans, just as the customs service is now
differed. The present Chinese civil SER
vice machine would be retained, because
it is suited to the temper and needs of
the people. In the same magazine is an
able defense of the missionaries in China

author of "Christian Missions and Social
