Little Action Marks the Session.
Washington. March 1.-Two argu-
ments We're presented to the senate
yesterday in which almost antipodical
positions were taken by the two sen
ators. Mr.. Teller of Colorado in n
brief speech maintained that the CON
stitution could not extend over terri
tory acquired by the United States
while Mr.. Turner. of WASHINGTON,
deliberately contended that the consti-
tuition embraced the acquired terri
tory the very moment the United
states took permanent possession IF
it. Mr.. Teller held hat this govern
ment could make the outlying terri
tory into states or could hold it as col
onies as 1t saw fit; while Mr. Turner
maintained that the United States
could not hold colonies or dapenden
cies. Aside from the constitutional
questions the two senators We're in
practical agreement. Both were op-
posed to the pending bill and both OBJ
jected to any of the insular territory
becoming a part of the United States
or any of its inhabitants, citizens Of
the United States.

The people OF Centerville are to be
congratulated on the result of the
saloon license trial in the commits
sioners' court yesterday. 1t has been
shown over and over that a large
majority in that community do not
want a saloon in their midst. The
attempt to force n on them has
been successfully resisted a number
Of times. So long as public senti-
ment there remains as it is % ways
and means will be found to keep sa-
looms out of that corporation. The
county commissioners did the proper
thing in giving most weight to the
testimony against the applicant for
license.
