In opposing the suggestion of compul-
sorry arbitration President Gompers, of the
American Federation of Labor, said: w
for any reason or without any reason" No
person questions that right or ever has,
but when strikers go further and claim to
own the jobs they have thrown Up and to
have a right % prevent others from doing
the work they have abandoned they assert
a principle far more indefensible than COM
pulsory arbitration. However, voluntary ar
bitration Of labor disputes is undoubtedly
preferable to compulsory if both sides
would always agree to it.

DENIED BY MR.. M'CURDY.
Insurance Companies Will Not Unload
Their American Securities.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-The attention Of
President McCurdy. of the Mutual Life In
surance Company, has been directed to the
following assertions which have been re-
peated frequently of late: The American
insurance companies may unload their
stockholdings so as to be able TO do bust
ness in the German empire. This would
throw upon the stock market many mil
lions worth of American railroad stock. 1t
is said that the stockholdings of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company alone approx
mate $40. OO0. 600" The further declaration
was made that ii was believed in insurance
circles that the report was true.
$50 far as this company is concerned"
Mr.. McCurdy said, 1.-THE report is absolutely
false. We have never contemplated such a
proceeding: We do not now. and reasons
multiply daily, why we should not in the
future. The motives ~actuating the per-
sistent circulation of this story are, per-
haps, best left TO the imagination. But one
fact is certain. they are neither worthy nor
patriotic. w see no reason for discredit-
ing American securities by substituting
therefor the obligations of foreign govern
ments. The suggestion of such an act l can
only regard with earnest indignation, as
unpatriotic and un-American. as it surely
would be grossly unjust to our fellow
citizens whose savings are invested in the
securities of their own country. in whose
progress and stability they have sturdy
faith

THE CONSTITUTION AND THE FLAG.

Some Eastern papers print special tele-
grams giving a fuller report of General
Harrison's recent address at Ann Arbor
than did the regular dispatches, and some
comment on it editorially. Although now
a private citizen it is not forgotten that
General Harrison is an ex-President and
a constitutional lawyer of high standing.
or the lawyers who will argue the same
questions before the Supreme Court this
week there is none on either side who
stands higher in this regard than Gen.
eral Harrison. and it can be assumed as a
certainty that his views expressed at Ann
Arbor nave received careful consideration
from members of the Supreme Court.
They have the greater weight because be-
sides coming from a lawyer Of high stand
ing they are untrammeled by any con-
siderations of political expediency or party
consistency which sometimes control the
disposition of such questions by Congress.
where, moreover, a large number of mem
bers lack a great deal of being able con-
stitutional lawyers.
The New York Evening Post thinks the
effect of General Harrison's address Will
be ito recall the Nation to a sense of it's
obligations as a republic" This puts the
case rather strongly. The Nation has not
w~illfully violated any obligations, and, act
ing through Congress, has only adopted
temporarily a policy that may prove to
nave been a departure from correct con-
stitutional principles. The question is one
on which honest men may differ, though
the decision of the Supreme Court is likely
to put an end TO all differences OF opinion.
Thus far 1t cannot be said that the action
of Congress, even if it should prove to
nave been based on a wrong construction
of the Constitution. has done any harm.
The Republic has not suffered, neither
nave the Porto Ricans. Although the Jour
should have had absolute free trade with
all parts of the United States from the
moment of their annexation, they accepted
the novel tariff law which Congress gave
them and have prospered under it, and as
it will expire by limitation on March /,
1902. the question hardly has more than
an academic interest now. 1t is the basic
question In the cases now being argued be-
fore the Supreme Court, and will probably
be decided soon after the court reas-
sembles on the eth of January. The Jour
nal believes the court will decide that the
Constitution is the law of
the United States as an entirety of the
Territories as we'll as of the States, and
that as Congress is the creature of the
Constitution and derives not only its pow
ers but its existence therefrom, it cannot
act outside of or above the Constitution.
In other words it is believed the court will
decide that the Constitution follows the
flag.

INJURED BY U
John Carbutt Tells How the General
Artistic Company Operates.

PHILADELPHIA; Dec. 1S.-At to-day's
session of the industrial commission John
Carbutt, manufactures of gelatine. dry
plates and films for photographs. testified
concerning the combination of capital In
his business. Chairman Clarke asked Mr..
Carbut If his goods came into compei-
ton with other products OF a similar
nature. In reply the witness said that in
1878 Mr.. Eastman, OF the Eastman Com
pany, went to Germany and secured. as he
thought, control of certain paper used I'm
the development OF photographs. On his
entered into a combination known as the
General Aristo Company. Dealers. Mr..
Carbutt said, were compelled by this COM
pany TO sign an agreement TO sell no paper
except that produced by the General Aristo
Company under penalty OF refusal TO fur
nish them with other supplies. Mr.. Car
butt said he had tried to purchase the pa
per from agents of the combination, but
without success. The paper is entirely of
foreign manufacture and cannot be pro-
duced in this country. Witness said that
through friends abroad he had been sue
cessful in securing the paper. but was COM
PEELED TO pay more for IL than IL cost the
combine"
In answer TO a question by Chairman
Clarke Mr.. Carbutt said he employed many
hands and utilized much valuable ma
chinery. He asserted that he was dis
eliminated against in violation of the law.

DIVERSE VIEWS.

came a part of the United States: the
government and the citizens of the United
States both enter said islands under the
authority of the Constitution with their re-
spective rights defined and marked out:
the former can exercise no power over the
person or property of a citizen of the
United States beyond. what that instru-
ment confers, nor lawfully deny any right
which IL has reserved.
Being a part of the United States the
Philippine islands are subject to the pro-
visions of Clause ]. Section s, Article /,
and of Clauses S and 6. Section 9, Article L,
OF the Constitution of the United States.
And as there is nothing differently stipu-
lated in the treaty, with respect to com
merce, it became instantly bound and priv
LEGGED by the laws which Congress hal
PASSED to raise a revenue from duties on
imports and tonnage.
1.-The President of the United States has
no legislative power. The imposition of
customs duties upon m between
these islands and other parts of the United
States after the treaty of peace and ex-
change of ratification by executive order
is without lawful authority and the seiz-
ure OF the plaintiff in error, a citizen of the
United States. under such pretended author
ity. constitutes a taking of his property
without the process of law"
Mr.. Harmon elaborated these main
points, citing and discussing many de-
cisions in support of them. In the course
that Congress could govern the new ter
ritories in any way il saw fit, so long as
the form or government came within the
Constitution; 1t might be by a governor
general or by a commission. so long as the
form was not r~epugnant TO the Constitu-
ton. MIR. Harmon declared that both the
Philippines and Porto Rico are now and
have been since the treaty of peace took
effect a part of the United States. They are
the property of the United States in the
sense that they are held in trust for the
people thereof. The trust Is an express
one i'm that its conditions are fixed by
the Constitution. The builders of the Re-
Public did not frame "A Constitution for the
original thirteen States, but for all the
/, lands and peoples which in the benefcient
workings of divine Providence shall come
under its beneign influence and control.

Of enlarged membership and usefulness.

A pretty Northumberland report pre-
walls in Washington that If the Hay
Pauncefote treaty is amended by the Sem
ate so as to foreshadow the construction
and fertilization of the Nicaragua canal by
the United States. England will quietly
get control of the stock of the Panama
canal and construct that. This would give
her the advantage OF an isthmian canal to
compete with the Nicaragua canal in a
commercial way, and the exclusive control
of one in case of war. AS the stock OF the
Panama canal is now owned by French
capitalists it is thought the United States
could not object to its passing inoo British
hands. a friendly understanding with
Great Britain at the present stage OF pro-
ceedings would be greatly preferable to
such an outcome as this.
