dent is, moreover, an apt reminder OF the fact
that Russia occupies toward China a radically
different attitude from that of any other Power.
The other European Powers, Japan aud the
United States all have commercial interests in
China. Those, indeed, are their chief interests
there. They want China q market for their
goods, and TO that end they want her territoria!
integrity preserved and her commercial doors
kept open to all the world Russia, on the
other hand has almost no commercial interests
in China, save purchaser. She sells pracu-
cally nothing to China. Her interest there is
political and territorial. She wants to acquire
Chinese territory and then TO close 1t against all
the world, 1t is by no means unlikely that the
Chinese themselves appreciate this fact, and
thus entertain different sentiments toward Rus
sia from those which they have for other
Powers. At any rate, ii is Of intense interest
TO observe that their most warlike action is
directed against Russia alone and is such as
Russia alone must meet. war between Rus
sia and China would be colossal affair. 1t
would be a strife of Tartar against Cossack
with the end afar off and with the probabilities
OF success pretty evenly balanced. But the on
coming Of such a war would neither add TO nor
subtract from the duties of the other Powers IN
the present crisis at Picking.

UNSELFISH TANN4NY.

Tammany's record as the friend of the Deo-
pie" is well known Even though il sometimes
does forget its duty SO far as to 90 into the Ice
Trust and double the price of that necessary of
tenement house life TO the poor, its heart still
beats true, especially about election time. It IS
always deeply concerned about the poor people :
taxes. 1t is always afraid some tariff protected
trust will be able to throw an unfair share of
the taxes upon them and scrutinizes the Renub-
Hcan made State tax rate as If every penny Of
it was TO be paid by Richard Croker. That
shows how Mr.. Croker is as anxious for tbe
pockets Of his flock the dear people as he is for
his own pocket, for which we know by his own
confession he works all the time.
Realizing how unselfishly concerned for their
welfare the Tammany leaders are, the Door
people of this city will think, be particularly
pleased TO know that Richard Croker. Robert
Van Wyck. John r. Carroll and most Of the
other leaders Of Tammany are entirely exemnt-
ed from personal taxes. We know n poor wa ge
earning woEian who lives in hall room M =
boarding house and has 10 pay 10 the Tammanv
government half of the income from her little
savings of a lifetime which are not sufficient
TO support her, just because she was too honest
to deny her personal property. She, we are sure.

UNDER OR OUTSIDE THE CONSTITUTION

UNDER OR OUTSIDE THE CONSTITUTION
Some Of our Republican contemporaries are
attempting to minimize the significance Of the
constitutional question involved in the Porto
Rcan legislation by insisting that the party
does not claim that the Government hold
territory outside of the United States Of the
Constitution, but merely asserts plenary powers
under the clause Of the Constitution giving
Congress authority to make all needful rules
and regulations concerning the territory or
other property belonging to the United States
The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle" to
quote one Of several instances, says:
1.-The New-York World" begins sentence as
follows: "Mr Mckinley by his frank declara-
ton OF the Republican purpose to hold and to rule
the Philippines by supreme authority, outside
the Constitution" etc President Mckinley has
how could he? The Philippines to be held
of course, because they territory belonging
to the United States. But they not to be
ruled outside the Constitution" for they are
placed by the Constitution under rules and reg
ulations to be made by Congress.
This is a line of argument on which Republi-
cans will not wisely rest their case. The need
ful rules and regulations" clause offers an easy
and obvious retort which has been somewhat
carelessly indulged in, but it is not by reliance
on any such grant that lawyers have defended
and judges have sustained the power Of Con-
gresS. To centre defence upon that clause is
to trust to unstable security. for it is generally
agreed that the authority there given to Con
gress does not supersede the general rules laid
down elsewhere in the Constitution saying what
Congress may do and may not do. In one case
the Supreme Court even went so far as to in
tcrpret il as applying solely to the Northwest
Territory belonging to the United States at the
time Of the adoption of the Constitution. but
even If that narrow view does not generally
obtain it is widely questioned If the rules and
regulations grant has any such extended mean
ing TO authorize Congress to disregard the
uniform throughout the United States and the
general rule concerning jury trial. At any rate,
the courts do not rely that language but on
the power Of the United States to hold terri
tory without Incorporating 1t into the Union
and extending the Constitution with uniform
duties over II. Thus Judge Wheeler, in his re-
cent decision upholding a special tariff for
Porto Rico, says:
If cannot hold ceded territory without
bringing ii under the Constitution an integral
part of the United States. then we cannot give
to Porto Rico practical independence a consti-
tuition and laws Of her own, taxes of her own.
and hold merely the sovereignty, confined, per
haps, to control OF, foreign relations. If Porto
Rico is still foreign country, we might adopt
that course. lf 1t is a part of the United States
in The sense that the appellants urge we can
not grant independence unless we entirely re-
nounce our sovereignty, For otherwise under
their contention, the island would he under the
uniformity clause OF the Constitution ana we
should be compelled to- tax 1t uniformly with our
New-York tribune., 1900-07-19

own Nation. Such view OF our constitutional
limitations would make it impossible to accept
the condition that we should not tax It for
number OF years.
He holds not that 1.-The rules and regulations
which Congress makes under the Constitution
authorize disregard Of other general rules OF the
Constitution, but that the territory is not In
corporated In the Union and is governed outside
the Constitution. For more than fifty years
the Supreme Court has been interpreting the
Constitution on the theory that where It ex-
tended Of necessity over States or by treaty
or legislation over acquisitions II carried with
it the general rules such as uniformity of tax
alton as well az the fundamental guarantees,
and has sometimes treated the "rules ana
regulations" powers of Congress as merely the
combined functions Of general and State gov
ernments, which in a State would be divided.
When, however territory is acquired by treaty,
without engagement to take it into the Union,
then the Sovereign Nation has authority to
rule it as it will, subject to the law Of free
dom instinct in its own being; or, as the Presl-
dent puts It, Congress has full legislative power,
Subject only to the fundamental safeguards
Of liberty, justice and personal rights" That Is
the view Of the Circuit Court, which bases our
free hand in the new territories on their status
outside the Union under the treaty, and says:
There is, then, no ground for declaring uncon-
stitutional the Treaty Of Cession, which accepts
sovereignty on the condition that the status of
the ceded territory foreign country shall be
preserved as it was until Congress shall deter
mine 1t. The Treaty Of Paris, then, is valid. 1t
left the political status of the inhabitants of
Porto Rico unchanged. Their status at the time
Of the cession was, as declared by the Supreme
Court. that of inhabitants of foreign country
as regards the Constitution Of the United States
and within the meaning Of the tariff acts.

LoNDoN,s EXAMPLE TO HEW-YoRK.

''The greatest port of the world is London"
has long been a commercial trusm. 1t remains
so to-day. But there seems to be danger that it
will not always nor much longer be so. AT any
rate, such danger is sufficiently pressing TO
arouse much anxiety and searching for causes
and remedies to those who have the continued
supremacy of the British metropolis at heart.
A Royal Commission on the London Docks has
begun work on which it expects to spend the
next two years. II has been appointed in
response to the earnest demands of the CONNER
cial interests of London, and its avowed object
is TO plan such improvements as will enable
London to maintain its menaced primacy among
the shipping ports of the world
The condition OF London appears TO be much
the same as that of New-YOrk. In fancied
security ii has stood still while others have
made progress. 1t has slept and slumbered
while they have been intensely awake Year by
wear the size of ocean steamships has increased.
Other ports-Liverpool, Southampton Ham
burg, Antwerp-have deepened their water and
enlarged their docks to accommodate the larger
vessels. London has not done so. The result is
that now first class ships have to wait for
high tide before they can enter or depart from
the Docks and the Pool If a ship coming in
misses a tide it must wait at Gravesend for
hours; and in these days of keen competition
hours mean much money.
Not only has there been no adequate effort to
meet modern requirements, but even old con-
ditions have not been maintained The ap-
p1oaches to the port have actually been made
or been allowed to become less ample. The
river and channels have been made shallower
by the dumping of ashes and refuse into them.
The Thames has been made a catchall for the
waste of London. Again, it is complained that the
dock facilities and warehouses are antiquated,
inconvenient and generally unsatisfactory, while
the connections between the docks and the rail
roads are altogether inadequate Finally, dock
and other charges are TOO high in comparison
with those at other ports. The natural result is
that commerce which should go to London is
being diverted to other ports which are newer,
more progressive and more awake to the re-
duirements of modern commerce. True, the
tonnage of London is not declining But then,
it is not increasing, or at any rate it is not
increasing in equal ratio with that of other
ports and of the United Kingdom in general.
Londons proportion of the commerce of the
kingdom is steadily and rapidly declining and
its lead over the other ports is being reduced.
In almost every item of this statement in
both conditions and results we might read
New-York instead of London with equal truth
and pertinence. 1t is to be hoped that New
York will at least maintain the parallel in the
promptness. earnestness and effectiveness of
her remedial measures.

will be delighted to know that Mr.. Croker, with
his large wealth, bears no such burden. The
other men and women with their bond or two
put away will rejoice that Mayor Van Wyck,
who is rich enough to invest $4,000 cash in an
ice trust speculation and rich enough to get
trusted for 100000 more, is too poor TO pay
anything. And the real estate owners and rent
payers whose burdens are just much heavier
for every dollar of personal property subject to
taxation which wrongfully escapes will be
happy in the consciousness that a rich banker
like Mr.. Gelshenen who had the good taste to
take Mayor Van Wycks paper, has no taxable
personality which Tammany officials can find.
The Hon. Augustus Van Wyck, who tried to
become Governor on the shout that Roosevelt
was n tax dodger" because he objected TO
being taxed on $4,000 of personal property
when Tammany men of millions were passed
over has sensitive conscience, and confesses
to a whole 50 600 Of personal property. Perhaps
he owes Mr.. Morse or somebody else quarter
Of a million or so for his ice stock, and that ex-
empts him. We believe, however, that the law
does not permit debts incurred in purchasing
non-taxable securities to offset taxation. So If
these debts serve to cover up the wealth Of the
Van Wycks and Croker and Carroll and Morse
who Is also untaxed-then the stock itself might
be thought taxable, and they own lots OF II.
But there are ways of getting around that and
no doubt all the good Tammany exempts have
their property so placed that the dear people
have no right to complain al having to contrib
ute all the money for them to spend. That is
what they manage the affairs of the dear people
