paid under it can he recovered by the
payer. There is great difference Of opin-
ion among eminent lawyers on the
point, and each side has been able to find
Supreme Court decisions which seem
to support its contention. The decision
likely to have a much broader
effect than simply to settle
whether a tariff can or cannot be levied
on Philippines or Porto Rico products.
II the court holds that thess Islands are
part OF the United States 1t would seem
to follow, not only that we could not
erect a tariff against them, but also that
we eould not resTiet the emigration OF
their people to the present states Of the
United States. Indeed, a decision that
they are a part of the United States
would seem to make the constitution
apply to them in sYery particular, and
compel Congress in its legislation in re-
gard to them to observe all the Hmita-
lions and prohibitions of our fundamental
law. The last Congress, in legislating
for these islands. proceeded upon the as
sumption that they were not under the
Constitution, and that it could legislate
in regard to them as it saw fit, without
any reference to the Constitution. 1t is
clear enough, that If this position is not
sustained by the Supreme Court our new
territory IS going to prove a serious en-
barrass ment to US. If our markets ara
open to all the products of the Philippine
Islands free, protection will receive a
pretty serious blow, and if immigration
from 9 them cannot be restricted. in
process Of time a great deal of Asiatic
labor will get into this country. Indeed
under a decision which made these IS
lands an integral part Of the United
States the disadvantage Of owning them
would be so great to our home producers
and laborers that there would arise a
general demand that they be got rid Of,
in some way. 1t will be seen then, that
mOmentOus consequences may hang on
the decision of the court in these Porto
Rican tariff cases. AS to the character OF
the courts decision, we should say that
the probability was that the court would
not hold that these islands were integral
parts Of the United States. The
tremendous embarrassment that
a contrary decision will cause
Will not be without effe ct, we

mote the general welfare.

that in this new book Mr.. Stedman has
extended his view beyond the limit Of
she American critical treatise in order to
represent the work OF various recent

II DOESN'T WORK BOTH WAYS.
(Boston Post }

At the first mutterings of a strike In
the anthracite coal region, retail dealers
in Boston advanced prices to consumers.
They said they did it ''in anticipation
OF strike" that they wanted to "pro-
tect the consumers" against buying too
much coal Before a man had left the
mines in Pennsylvania, while there was
large stock of coal on hand and tens of
thousands of tons on the way to Boston,
all Of which was purchased by the dealers
at regular low rates, the price was put
up here in Boston until the poor, who
buy by the buckeful, were paying at the
rate OF $40 or S12 ton.
Now that the difficulty has been settled
and every mine in the anthracite region
will be working by Monday at the latest,
is the price Of coal put down ain antioi-
patton? Not one cent. There has been
no coal famine" such as was made lin
anticipation the pretex OF raising the
price Of coal bought at regular rates:
there has not been even a scarcity Of coal
In Boston and there is not today.
1t is poor rule that doesn't work both
ways But possibly the dealers who
raised the price ''in anticipation" a
month ago may justify themselves in
maintaining the excessive price Gin re5-
respect" This reason would be as valid
as the other was,

CURRENT COMMENT.
BRYAN'S ANTITRUST PLAN.
Chicago Tribune.l


Democrats have so often denounced and
then accepted Republican measures that
it is not surprising to see MIR. bryan Dor
rowing an idea from the much-abused
reciprocity legislation Of 1890 and using
it in d perverted and dangerous form in
his programme for the determination of
"trusts."
For the limited discretion granted
President Harrison Mr.. Bryan would
substitute an unlimited discretion.
He says in the first place he would "Dut
every trust-made article on the free
list" 1t is evident that this is plan
the details Of which cannot be attended
to by Congress unless it is in perpetual
session.
The only practical way to carry out
Mr.. Bryan S plan, and 1t Is the way
which he evidently has in mind, is for
Congress to empower the President to
put on the free list all articles the man
ufacture of which in this country is in
his opinion, In the hands of trust"
Then 1t would be unnecessary for Con-
gress to enact special law whenever
now Industrial combine made its appear
ance.

breaking down the trusts with the use
of the free list, 1t will be necessary to
give him, ii he is elected President,
power which he and other members OF
his party argued ten years ago could not
be given without violating the constitu-
ton.
The power granted in 1890 applied to
less than half dozen raw materials,
only one OF which is produced In this
country. sA1r. Bryan's scheme calls for
the extension Of that power to all COM
modities produced in this country and
also in foreign countries. Armed with
such authority, Mr.. Bryan would be the
most powerful and irresponsible Presl-
dent the country has ever known, B

THE COURT AND THE CONsTITU-
TON

The Supreme Court of the United
States has just advanced the suits to re-
cover duties paid under protest under
the Porto Rico tariff, and they will be
argued on November -. The suits in
volve the construction Of the clause OF
the Constitution which declares that "an

Etates.' The crucial question is
whether Porto Rico and the
Philippines are a part of the United
States within the meaning Of the Consti-
tuition or may be treated simply as terri
tory under its jurisdiction. If the first

on Porto Rican or Philippine products,

There appears to be quite serious out

taken charge in Cuba there has been a
very marked improvement OF sanitary
conditions, and a consequent improve
ment in the healthfulness of the island.
If we q should remain in charge
1t would not be unreasonable to
expect that in a few years yellow fever
would have been practically stamped

sion on the Cuban government which
will soon be in control OF the island, and
that the work of reform will lag. The
average Cuban knows little and cares
less about sanitary science. Under
Spanish rule Havana was an exceedingly
filthy city, and it is to be feared that the
Cubsns were too long taught Spanish
ways to learn any other very speedily.

If Mr.. Bryan had thought twice he
would rot have declared publicly that
Tammany was great, and Croker was its
prophet The phrase betrays SO much
cordial feeling between the candidate
and the boss, so much Difference to Tam
many's power as to arouse a general ap-
pTehension that If Bryan becomes Presi-
dent the power behind the throne viii
be Boss Croker, and that the demands of
Tammany will take precedence of the
demands Of any other body Of Democrats.
This sort Of apprehension cannot but be
hurtful to Mr.. Bryan, not only in the
western ana New England states, but in
New York also, where for years the up

against Tammany's ambition to ex-
tend its power beyond CITY affairs.

COUNTY COURT.
TO BE CONTINUED.

County Court opened Monday March
18th with the case Of George
Magoon VS.. Lewis Before. This was
an action on the case for negligence.
It appeared that during the fall of '9S
the plaintiff was working for the de-
fendant doing carpenter work upon
house which was being constructed in
West Derby; that on the morning of
the accident the plaintiff and defend
ant were engaged in lowering stag
ing. This staging was constructed by
fastening brackets to the walls of the
house by means of bolts, the nuts be-
ing screwed on to the bolts inside the
boarding. The staging was lowered
by taking down the brackets one at
time and fastening them to the house
in the new position which the staging
was to be reconstructed and so recon
sIructing the staging as fast as it was
lowered: thus at the time the accident
occurrad, part of the old staging had
been taken down and rebuilt few
feet lower. 1t appeared that the last
bracket taken down had been bolted
to the house directly under the next
one to be taken down and the new
staging continued out on to it. The
plaintiff was outside on the new stag
