BIZ. H1RRISONS VIEWS.

The views of ex-President Harrison always
command attention and respect His address TO
the students Of Michigan University on The
Status of Annexed Territory" is able pres
entation Of the doctrines of those who assert
that the Constitution of the United States OF
its own force instantly extends TO all territory
acquired by this Government. The United
States Circuit and Appellate courts which have
far passed on this question, involved in
the Administrations Porto Rican and Philippine
policies, have not agreed with Mr.. Harrison, but
have upheld the Federal Governments exercise
OF plenary power in those territories The
point however, has not yet been decided by the
Supreme Court and is 20 be argued before II in
q few days. If il decides that the United States
has free hand in the new territories we shall
have a much simplihed problem In setting up
governments for people unframed in Anglo
Saxon ways and as yet untitled for the system
OF law 10 which Americans were accustomed
before the Constitution was adopted, and the
enjoyment Of which that instrument guaranteed
them. If il decides that Congress is subject 10

BETTER PROTECTION OF rRA1rs

The holiness Of train robbers in some parts
OF the South and West has become so extreme
that railway directors may wisely consider the

THE BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
There were two peculiarly delightful features IN
the second afternoon concert OF the Boston sym
phony Orchestra. which took place In Carnegie
Hall yesterday. In the hrst instance. the delight
was caused by the manner IN which familiar music
was performcd-Mr Kneise played the solo part
Of Brahms's concerto for violin with such distinc-
ton Of style. such loftiness OF conception, beauty
OF tone and exquisite finish. and accompanied
by the orchestra with such lovely sympathy ana
precision that the performance must go on the
records as one OF the finest achievements OF tne
season. In the second instance 1t was a new
composition which gave the special pleasure. MI.
Gertcke anticipated the Philharmonic Society In
the production Of overture by a Russian com
poser who had hitherto been a stranger 10 local
concert rooms. but who by a coincidence. will have
two hearings within a week. He Is Sergei Tame

THE H4T-P4UNCEFoTE TREATY.
THE DANGER OF THE TREATY.

THE DANGER OF THE TREATY
From The Brooklyn Eagle.
The pro-American sentiment which Is getting
south and West is not becoming smaller the Pae
cthc Railroad sentiment, by which not few SEN
ators are swayed. and sentiment in favor Of the
which some Senator's are affected conspire to make
difficult the defence of the proposed treaty against
handicapping amendments As already said, some
of this sentiment is not against the treaty or
rather against the Ntcarasuan Canal. but the rest
of II is. All of this sentiment unites for the time

AN ESSENTIAL CHANGE.
From The Boston Journal
The Hay-Pauncefote treaty as amended by the
tees which are most essential and makes the way
clear for the American people to go ahead and

ENGLAND WILL ACCEPT IT.
From The Baltimore American
England will accept the amended treaty. She has
her hands too full now to think Of taking um6rage
ventlon, and. as she has bat little stake. she
win see the wisdom Of acquiescing and accepting
ferred the treaty in its original FORM but American
sentiment spoke through the Senate. and England
is in the position OF one who is perforce inclined
to accept what she get.

ONLY ANOTHER MISTAKE.
From The Springfield Union.
The Clayton Bulwer Treaty was mistake II
was un-American. Because a mistake was made
then constitutes the best reason in the world why
the mistake should be corrected now, The Hay
Pauncefote convention only added another mis-
take to the made by our diplomats in 1850

THE REAL OBJECTIVE POINT.
GO FOR THE POLICE.


To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: am not surprised to observe that the furor
about the RED Light District" which existed In
the public press and In the public mind generally
fortnight ago, has already subsidized Worthy
ciergymen and pure women, with their impossibIe
standards for the majority, very soon block the
wheels OF any practicable reform this question.
So long as the two and inequality OF fortune
opportunity and destiny exist. this reform Is Httls
likely to get beyond simply protecting the inno-
eence OF childhood and the innate purity OF average
womanhood from the public display OF sexual
degradation; and. further. of protecting the pas
sionate instincts OF youth from the pursuit Of open
and fragrant temptation.
Under present circumstances in this city the pub
lie reform needed, above all else. is 20 root out
from the police force those elements whose interest
II Is TO foster sexual well other forms vice.
and to replace the dismissed officers with fresh
material less liable to corruption and bribery Even
this is only practicable If the decent majority OF
our community keep their paramount commercial
instincts well m hand Yours respectfully

The president of the Pal Board says he
realizes the necessity in a congested district of

need, and he is willing that public park should
be used for the purpose. provided there is
blackmail in it. That shows a strange miscon-
cepton of duty and of the At uses of public
property The City Hall Park is in a congested
district, but that is no reason why it should be
invaded by haberdashers shops and lawyers Of

gested districts, but IL would scarcely be proper

or drygoods shops along the Mall A park is

The plan for a City Hall celebration Of the
going out of the nineteenth century and the
coming Of the twentieth should not be pushed
through with undue haste. After ALL has New

London is eagerly discussing the topic of
noisy demonstrations of dsapproval in theatres
when plays fail TO please. Boston is all agog
over the question of the wearing of hats in the
orchestra seats. New-York has settled down to
peace and good nature in her houses of enter
tainment Shouts and yells and Kisses are al
most unknown among the courteous audiences
on this side of the ocean, and London theatre
goers ought 20 take lessons from the New World
in manners and moderation. AS to the wearing
of hats, little discomposure on that score has
been noted this season in Manhattan. The dis
position here is TO avoid unnecessary fuss and
fault finding. and it is a commendable dispo-
sition. When 1t is a matter Of an evenings
amusement, 1t is not wise to become excited and
even violent over trifles, the occupants Of the
gallery and the pit in British theatres some
times do.
