Senior New York Senator Vexed at

Theodore Roosevelt shall never be presi-

prophecy was uttered by a very init
mate associate of the senior senator
from New York within a very few hours
after the news was given out that
Roosevelt had appointed Eugene A
Philbin, a Democrat, district attorney
and John Proctor Clarke, an anti-Platt
Republican, justice of the supreme
court. It is an alleged broken promise
that is deepening and widening the
breach that yaWns between Theodore
Roosevelt and Senator Plat and Gov
ernor-elect Odell.
On the day that the nomination for
governor was offered TO him at the
Fifth Avenue hotel, Roosevelt it is
claimed, promised Plat and Odell that
he would not nominate or appoint any
man in this state without first consult
ing them. Before giving places to Mr..
PhiIbin and Mr.. Clarke Roosevelt con-
suited neither Platt nor Odell.

A STEEL TUBE TRUST.
One With Capital of $15O,ooO,Ooo
Is Being Formed.

Philadelphia, Dec. 2s.-The Evening Bull
lein today says:
For the past three weeks negotiations
have been on foot in Philadelphia looking
towards the control of the steel tube in
dustry in the United States by organizing
a combination with over $3.50, 900 900 cap
ital. Everything has been quiet and
nothing has leaked out, although the pres
ence of big financiers and iron and steel
magnates in the office of W. w. Gibbs, in
this city. has aroused various rumors. Mr..
Gibbs was not at his office today and
it was stated that he left for Pittsburg
last night and would not return until
Monday. His secretary denied any knowl-
edge of the combination.
The Bulletin, nevertheless, has it from
reliable authority that the project is be-
ing promoted and that w. w. Gibbs is
the prime mover in the affair. The finan-
cial end is being handled by Moore &
Schley, brokers, of New York The syn
dictate has secured the exclusive license
under American patents to manufacture
steel tubing by new English process,
which reduces the cost of manufacture
nearly so per cent.

the judge of the probate court that Miss
Tudhope had been kinder to him in his

her his heir, so that she would inherit
everything he possessed when he died.

CONTRASTS.

The decision of Judge Lochren of the
United States District Court of Mime
sofa, in the case of Raphael Ortiz, a
Puerto Rican, condemned to death for
murder by a military court created a
great deal of comment at the time. The
decision was used as a means of COM
ment upon a constitutional question,
which was really dragged in by the
hair, and like all such efforts, though
it excited comment did not command
respect. This decision was given in
May and involved the theory that the
constitution followed the flag, a favor
lite theory of a certain class of lawyers
in these Islands, but by no means the
theory of the leading legal minds.
In June Judge William K. Towsend
of the Southern District of New York
handed down a decision Numerically
opposed to that of Judge Lochren. The
question involved was the duties to be
levied upon importations of tobacco
from Porto Rico. According to the
Lochren theory there should have been
no duty. According to Judge Town
send the clause in the constitution
providing that "all duties, imposts, and
excuses shall be uniform throughout the
United States" does not necessarily
mean free trade between the United
States and it's dependencies.
If doctors differ" is a truism, so
surely is it that judges differ. You get
an opinion one way in one court, and
you get an opinion entirely another way
in another court of exactly the same
weight. Labouchere used to publish in
Truth" a collated list of decisions of
country magistrates in England, the
great unpaid" as they are called, and
it was very funny reading. The mani
fest absurdities of the decisions of
many of the great paid" who sit in
countless courts of our own country
would make just as amusing reading
were they collated on Labouchere's
system.
After all a number of decisions and
actions Of judges are the result of their
digestion. If you get a man who can
eat three hearty meals a day, sleep
well at night, and has his nerves in
perfect order through some hours Of
good exercise, you are likely to get a
very clear headed decision, though you
may get pig headed decision, for the
healthy thinking and living man is
apt to be pig headed. But If you get
a man who has no digestion, whose
appetite is an uncertain quantity who

and very frequently cranky decisions
and extraordinary actions. The ques-
ton of good judgement lies in good
health We have no business, perhaps,
to criticize the results which come
about from a surfeit of oysters or a

water.
But this is a depression. The two de-

article have induced Judge Edward A.
Belcher of San Francisco to make an
examination Of the subject of territorial
matters. Among the instances he cites
is one which was decided in 1S45. Ac-
cording TO the report in the Argonaut
the case was caused by the transition
of Florida from a Territory to State
hood. The case, which was a libel in
admiralty, began in the Territorial
courts, but the decree followed the ad-
mission of Florida as a State. The de-
cree was attacked in the supreme court
on the ground of want of Jurisdiction,
in that the jurisdiction acquired in the
Territorial court did not continue in
the State or Federal courts. The OBJ
lection was sustained, and put square,
ly on record a decision that the Terri
tories ARE legislative governments and
their courts legislative cotirts, and not
subject to the constitutional provisions
in m 70
diction;" that the Territories are not
or ganized under the constitution, but
are the creations of the legislative de-
partment, and subject to it's supervision
and control"
Judge Belcher further cites rulings
of the supreme court in the same di-
rection. Chief Justice Waite ruled that
the Territories are but political sub
divisions of the outlying dominion of
the United States for which Congress
may legislate, as a State may for its
municipal organizations. Judge Brad
/ ley, of the supreme bench stated that
the power of Congress over the Terri
tories is general and plenary and a re-
cent decision over a case in Alaska
brought out the opinion that 1.-THE gov
ernment of the Territories is exclusive
ly matter for Congress and that the
provisions of the constitution do not
apply"
All of this is food for thought for
those of our community who begin to
feel their oats" AS was said some
time ago in these columns, Congress

AALA PARK.

1t is curious how a matter may grow
up under the very eyes of people and
absolutely no notice of it be taken. A
case in point is that of the squatters
on Aala Park reservation. The people
who are living there have no more right
to occupy the premises than they have
10 camp round Kamehameha's statue
in the Judiciary premises, or take up
their abode on the lawns of the Capitol.
But there they are and until The Star
called attention to the fact probably
no one thought anything about their
being there.
Why the Board of Health Inspectors
have not reported upon this matter one
cannot we'll understand. They certainly
were paid to do this particular line of
work, and they appear to have neglect
ed it completely. The conditions under
which these people are living are filthy
and squalid in the extreme and are a
menace to the health of the people in
the vicinity. Yet here has this plague
spot been allowed to grow in the very
heart of thickly populated district,
and on a spot which has been specially
reserved as a recreation place for the
children of the poorer classes.
The embyro Aala park at the present
time is under the jurisdiction of the
Superintendent of Public Works, and
it rests with him to order the clear
ing out of these oriental squatters. He
will probably find some trouble in get
ting rid of them, but he ought to lose
no time in getting them off the place
1t has been decided that until provis-
ion can be made for erecting a proper
building on the Royal School premises,
a portion of the school is to be taught
in the Aala warehouse which is to be
properly fitted up. There can certainly
be no school carried on in that quarter
if there is such a pest hole in close
proximity.
The best thing that the Superintend-
ent of Public Works can do is to turn
the Aala Park property over to a set
of trustees who will take it in charge
Though the present incumbent of the
office, is perfectly willing to do this, The
Star believes, there is evidently the
same pressure behind him which has
been behind Ministers of Interior under
the old regime. Some one or other, and
it is not very difficult to diagnoze who,
is determined that the public shall be
prevented from using Aala as long as
possible The policy has been success
full up to the present. To such a mind
even the oriental squatters are more
satisfactory, with all their reeking
Nth, than pleasant, grass grown, tree
covered area, which would be charm
TO the eye and true educational ad-
vantage to the city.
