London, August 20.-England is
thoroughly irritated over the govern,

respecting the landing of troops at
Shanghai. Even the semblance of
yielding to pressure by the powers or

pairing Britain's prestige in the east

The Constitution I'm the Territories.

Commenting on some remarks made in
these columns several days ago on the
subject of the Constitution in the Terrific
ries. the New York Sun" makes this
broad statement: THE Philippines today
have all the constitutional rights of
Alaska
Surely the --Sun" knows quite as we'll as
We do that Alaska is treated as part of the
United States and that the Philippines,
for purposes of taxation, exploitation, and
loot. are regarded quite differently. For
example. goods AID merchandise may be
sent to or received from Alaska without
the payment of duty. 1t is not SO in the
case of the Philippines. In defiance of the
Constitution the Dingley tariff is in force
under executive order against all COM
modities shipped TO the American main
land from the American Philippine ISL
ands.
The sun" says that the rights under
the Constitution which this journal claims
are guaranteed by it would be difficult to
define. We do not think SO. Certainly
there could be no difficulty concerning the
undoubted right of free trade with other
portions of the Republic. Nor do We see
where there could be doubt or confusion
about the right of trial by jury or any
other of the civil rights which are en-
toyed by the people of Arizona. New Mex
leo, or the District of Columbia. We do
not acc1se-the Sun" of begging the ques
tion. We only say that it acts exactly
like one who is doing that identical
thing. AS an old fellow-worker in the
cause Of rational and Jeffersonian expan-
sion, we desire to see the New York
luminary in the right. It cannot be so
without conceding our point that where
the flag is. there also will the Constitu-
lion be found. The creature cannot be

Brooklyn audience expected him, he had

sang. The people waited. The pastor
