THE CONSTITUTIONS AT HOME.

The apportionment question which is now
before Congress throws an interesting and in
structive light that great devotion TO the
Constitution which is cherished by those who
are most conspicuously fearful that if we do
not az once give the Constitution TO the Fill
pinos we shall make blank paper Of that instru-
ment and prepare the way for our own enslaVe-
ment. II is an open question how far Congress
has authority beyond the Constitution, whether
the field Of its operation is necessarily coexten-
sive with the field over which the Government
may be compelled TO exercise authority. There
can, however, be no doubt that within the
sphere Of its acknowledged application it is
supreme and we should expect that those who
are concerned lest our liberties be endangered
10y a failure OF the Constitution TO extend ex
proprio yigore TO the Philippines would be even
more disturbed over any failure of that instru-
ment TO operate ex proprio vigore over the Con-
gress OF the United States in legislatng con-
cerning the States Of the Union, for the govern
ment OF which that Constitution was primarily
intended.
1t is curious therefore, TO note the entire
indifference of ex-President Harrison, ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland, Mr.. Carlisle, who is going TO
present TO the Supreme Court in a few days

that in several States the right of suffrage is

TWO VIEWS.

We had the pleasure of publishing yesterday
in our Washington correspondence Christmas
letter which. on request was written by Miss
Helen NJ. Gould 10 the enlisted of the
United States Navy. In it the writer calls
those TO whom she writes her dear friends, eX-
presses her interest in their welfare and reflects
in simple but effective language the spirit and
the message of peace and good will appropri-
ate TO the Christmas season. 1t is, in brief,
just such a letter as high minded and gener-
Gus hearted person might be expected TO write
to others who were regarded as worthy of
esteem, respect and friendship 1t is scarcely
necessary to add that the unostentatious but
extended, practical and untiring philanthropy
which Miss Gould has exercised toward those
to whom she writes is the amplest demonstra-
ton which could be desired of the sincerity OF
her letter.
A few days ago there was published another
view OF the United States Navy. and also of
the Army and It's enlisted men. 1t was in the
form of letter from Mr.. Edward Atkinson Of
Boston, Mass, to ~The Springfield Republican"
That letter dwelt with satisfaction. and with
frank admission that the wish was father 10
the thought, upon the alleged nefficiency of the
Navy, and the failure 10 which, in the writer's
mind ii is doomed In what seems to him it's
Infamous mission, and it reached its climax in
the exultant declaration concerning the Army
that Few but dead beats and degenerates will
now enter that vicious and degraded service"
We may add that Mr.. Atkinson's attitude for
the last two years toward Eot only the Navy
and the Army, but also the whole Government,
and his frequent utterances concerning them,
leave no room TO doubt the sincerity of his
letter.
Apologies are due TO Miss Gould for even the
suggestion of a comparison between her letter
and that of Mr.. Atkinson. But she will, we
trust, not be unwilling that thus fine humani-
tartan and patriotic service to the Nation may
be performed. 1t can require nothing more
than the most cursory contrast-we will not
say comparison-between the one letter, at
once womanly and manly, patriotic and Chris
tian, and the other, shrewish, hysterica
pesslmstic and defamatory, TO determine which
of these two views of the United States mill
tary services is held by the American Nation
with unanimity which is only emphasized by
the handful Of dscreditable exceptions.

JOHN c.. SHEEHAN AS A REFORMER

Just before the Baltimore Convention which
nominated President Lincoln for his second term
many State delegations selected routes to the
convention city which enabled them TO stop at
Washington to visit the President at the White
House. o le day as some visitors were depart
ing Mr.. Lincoln noticed a large crowd in the
corridor and asked the cause. THAT is the
South Carolina delegation; 1t is a swindle,' he
was informed. "Let them come in,'' said the
President. "They cannot swindle me-" Events
proved the truth of the accusation and the reply.
There is a chance of a somewhat similar situa-
ton before long in regard to the anti-Tammany
preparations In this city. Already there are
one or two movements" which seem to fall into
the class of the South Carolina delegation.
There is no particular reason for refusing them
an audience but there is every reason TO take
care not to be swndled by them.
One Of the movements said to be under
way at this time which will seek to do duty as
a good government force. is reported to be the
handiwork of John G. Sheehan, who for a brief
period occupied the post which Croker was sup
posed to have vacated as leader of Tammany
Hall. There is no reason, of course, for dis
couraging a renewal Of family quarrel among
the Crokerites and their allied tribes. 1t is not
beyond the bounds of a reasonable faith to sup
pose that beneficent Providence has raised up
John G. Sheehan for the express purpose at this
time Of creating confusion within the Tammany
hosts
God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform
But the public outside of Tammany will not
care to fall In behind the leader of Tammany
faction simply because that leader has lost the
power to restore himself to authority or influ-
ence within the organization and has embarked
upon public opposition as the only means left
of driving the knife into the vitals of his fac
tional enemy.
1t is said also that Mr.. David B. HILL not find

MISS LOIE FULLFR'S DANCES.

The dances which originated some years
ago by Miss Loie Fuller. and which have been
since elaborated and improved by her, are too
well known to the public to need particular de-
scriptiOn. She reappeared at Roster & BiaIs
Music Hall on Monday evening. after long alb
sence from this country She gave dances Of the
general sort as formerly. but. usual. she
was able to vary them sufficiently TO give them
air of novelty. 1t would be scarcely possible
that they should have more beauty in their color
and light effects than they had before. but they
had new beauty. There are a brilliancy and a
variety in their effects which can never be be-
lieVed till they The pictures of juMlbled
rainbows and leaping and whirling flames which
the dancer makes OF herself dazzling and
derful they have always been. Miss Fuller
greeted by a large audience and was hailed with
the enthusiasm which the beauty of her artistic
creation deserved.
