Appearanees were peceptive.


OF these two the opinion in the
Downes ease is considered the most
reaching. as it affects our future
relations, whereas the De Lima ease
dealt with a transitional phase of our
inSular relations. The De Lima case
was the first to receive the attention
of the court, and rs it appeared to be
quite Sweepingly opposed to the gov
ernments contentious, many persons
preciptately arrived at the conclusion
that the government rad been worsted
all along the line. This view suffered
decided change when the conclusion
was announced in the DOwnes case.
The court was very evenly divided on
both cases. but political lines were not
at all controlling.
Where the Government Lost.
The De Lima case involved the pow
er of the government to collect duty
on goods imported into the United
State from Porto Rico after the rati-
fication of the treaty of Paris and be-
fore the passage of the Porto Rican
act. The court said the governments
contention in this case was substan-
TALLY n claim that Porto Rico is for
clgn territory The entire case turned
upon that contention. The court held
that the position was not well taken;
that Porto Rico was not mt the time
foreign territory: and that therefore
the duty which had been collected
must be returned.
And Where the Government Won.
The decision in the Downes case fol-
lowed the history of the dealings OF
the United States with Porlo Rico a
step farther That case dealt with the
legality of the eXaction OF duties on
goods imported from Porto Rico into
New York after the passage of the For
aker act. providing for a duty upon
goods shipped from the United States
into Porto Rico and also on those
shipped from Porto Rico to the United
States. In this case the court held
that such eXaction was legal and con-
stitutiOnal

PER SONAL.

Gen. Andre, the French minister of
war, has received from 900 workmen en-
ployed at the powder mill of Moulin
Blanc a souvenir of his visit to that es-
tablishment. 1t Is book richly bound
in red leather, containing the history of
the MoulinBlanc mill and a petition
asking for some amelioration in the con-
dition of the workmen. Each leaf of
the book is illustrated. on the cover is
large plaque of silver bearing the fol-
lowing inscription: ITO General Andre
Minister of War. Souvenir of his visit to
the powder factory at Moulin-Blanc."
1t appears from President EliOt's re-
port of last years work at Harvard that
boys enter college a trifie younger than
they did a generation ago, and few of
them proportionally are now prepared by
private tutors. The number entering
from public schools is steadily increasing.
Dr. Eliot thinks that the excellence of
the preparatory schools ought still further
to reduce the average age of entrance.
There is no good reason why nine-tenths
of all the boys who mean to go to Har-
ward College should not be fully prepared
for admission at IS years of age" he says.

Is it really the purpose of Field Mar
shall Count Won Waldersee to begin an
other offensive campaign in China
or is he simply trying to alarm
the Chinese government so that it
will agree to the demands of
the Powers? The indications are that
| the campaign will be undertaken at onse
unless the Chinese government complies
with the terms of the Powers. and shat
it will be on larger scale than any
since the march on Pekin began.
our government does not want to par
ticipate in the campaign and it is the
understanding that Russia does not. All
the others. however, are in harmony with
the policy of Germany.
Unless the greatest care is exercised
there is going to be great deal more
trouble in China than there has yet been
The Chinese government is willing to COM
ply with most of the demands of the
Powers. but there are certain ones which
it seems determined to resist If there
should be war in consequence of this re-
sistance it is probable that it would be
far more costly. both in lives and money.
than the trouble has thus far been.
The position of this country is a rather
delicate one. Its policy has been to in
flct as little loss on China as possible.
and it does not want TO ioin Germany
in this new campaign, but il it should
refuse to join her Germany would. in all
probability, take offense, and thus the
situation would be still further compli-
Gated.
1t is believed to be the policy of the
Chinese to get the Powers to quarreling
among themselves, thinking if this pol
icy were successful the chances Of their
country for getting better terms. would
be greatly improved.
China has not shown any appreciation
of the friendly attitude of this country.
1t is doubtful if it will be her policy to
recognize it in any way. The only thing
she cares for is to get the very best
terms she can, and it is probable that
if Count Won waidersee is bluffing he
will accomplish nothing. If he is in
I earnest, and sends army into the in
| terror, he may meet with far greater re-
sistance than the allied armies have yet
encountered.

IS WAS. NATION INSANE.

Mrs Nation, the Kansas joint Smasher,
is in Jail, or was on Tuesday. with a fair
prospect Of staying there for awhile. Her
bond is 5000. and it is the understanding
that it will not be accepted at all unless
her friends will agree TO send her 40 her
home in Medicine Lodge. The judge who
sent her TO Jail expressed the opinion that
she was insane.
II she IS insane, then there arc
great many other people in
Kansas who are insane. because
thousands approve her course and
hundreds have been aiding her in smash
ing the saloons. II is a question whether
the means she has adopted for closing the
saloons in Kansas will have the effect OF
putting stop TO the Hauor traffic in Kan
sas permanently. 1t is not by such vio-
lent measures that great reforms are ef-
fecJed.
No doubt the saloon keepers in Kansas
have become alarmed. and it is probable
that in most OF the towns the saloons will
be closed for awhile, but as soon as the
excitement dies out they will be opened
again. Before there can be prohibition
in the state there must be a strong public
sentiment behind the prohibition law. 1t
is apparent that here is no such sentiment
now. If there were. there would be no
hesitation on the part Of the officials in
enforcing the law.
1t IS worthy of notice that religious de-
nominations and temperance organizations
are not unanimous in approving Mrs. Ma
tons course. As a matter of fact, only
extreme prohibitionists think she ought to
be sustained. Even the Rev. Mr.. Shell
don, the author of In His Steps" and
resident of Kansas, is very guarded in
commenting upon her acts. In an article
over his own signature. he says; Per
sonally l do not feel like endorsing her
adts without modification, or condemning
them without modification. I think the
matter stands like this: If, after every
possible effort has been made through the
machinery of the law, the joints continue
to defy the will of the people as expressed
in our prohibitory amendment, then 1
think it falls within the province of the
people themselves, in case they cannot
elect officers who will enforce it, TO en-
force it themselves"
1t is evident from the foregoing that
Mr.. Sheldon is not ready to indorse Mrs.
Nation. The people have not yet tried to
elect officers who would enforce the prohi-
bition law. If they were to do so, and
should fail, it would be apparent that the
majority is against the law and that
there would have to be more education in
the direction of prohibition. If they
should succeed there is no doubt that the
law would be enforced. and that there
would be no need of such efforts as those
of Mrs Nation. There is no difficulty in
enforcing laws which have the hearty sup
port OF majority of the people.

The suggestion that all of the streets of
the city be paved and the property owners
be permitted to pay their assessments for
the same on the installment plan, seems
to have met with general approval. There
is not a property owner. even of the
smallest means but would like to have
the street in front of his house paved, If
he could see his way clear to paying the
bill. If he were permitted to stretch the
payments over a period of years, he could
and would willingly pay for the improve
ment.
Under the present system of collecting
paving assessments taxpayers, in some in
stances have been obliged TO mortgage
their homes to raise the money. They
did not desire the streets paved, for the
reason that they were not In a position to
pay their proportion of the cost cash on
the nail" But the tax collector was in
exorable; the bills had to be paid, or the
houses would be sold over the owners
heads.
Now, under the installment plan, the
city can be paved from one end to the
other without visiting hardship upon any
body. and without any property owner
finding the burden heavy. Ten years
could be made the limit over which to ex-
tend the payments. and the persons inter-
ested could elect how many INSTALL
ments their bills should be divided into.
Paved streets mean clean streets, and
clean streets mean good health to the
community. The work can be done by our
own people, and the money paid out for
it Will help every interest in the city. One
has only to recall the condition of Bull
Broughton, Drayton and other streets be-
fore they were paved, and contrast it with
their present condition, to realize what
paving can and will do for street. In ten
years time the entire city can be made
as neat, attractive and healthful as are
the thoroughfares that have been named
under the installment plan of collecting
the bills.
There is no good reason for delay in get
ting the matter into shape and beginning
the work. II would be a credit to every
man on the Board of Aldermen to be

4 rARIrE MAR NOT DESIRED.

The Russian min ster says that his gov
\ erament docs not want tariff war with
the United states on the contrary. il
wants to increase trade with them 10 the
greatest POSSIBLE extent. Nevertheless, he
| fails to explain the acton of mis- govern
ment in putting the maximum duties on
certain american iron and steel products
duties which are practically prohibit
/ tory.
He further says that these maximum
duties will be removed just as soon a
our government removes the countervail-
ing duty on Russian sugar. 1t would ap-
: pear, therefore. that while the Russian
government does not want a tariff war
with this country it has really inaugural
cd such a war.
1t cannot be claimed that the action OF
the Secretary of the Treasury in impos-
ing a countervailing duty on Russian
sugar was a discrimination against Rus
STA. 1t was nothing Of the kind, and the
Russian government has no reason for so
regarding it, The imposition of that duty
was made necessary by our tariff laws.
These laws require that countervailing
duty shall be paid by sugar coming from
country which pays a bounty on export
cd sugar.
Germany, France and Belgium pay this
duty, and there is no reason why Rus
STA should not pay It. 1t was imposed for
the purpose Of protecting sugar producers
in this country. If it should not be re-
quired of Russia other countries would
have a right to complain that there was
discrimination in her favor. But Russia
claims that she does not pay an export
bounty on sugar. Our consuls in Russia
say that she does MISUNDERSTANDING
within the meaning OF the Dingley tariff
law. There is a dispute, therefore, on a
question Of fact. There ought to be no
trouble in arriving at the truth.
The Secretary of the Treasury points
out that it is the duty of the importers
Of Russian sugar to so before the gen.
eral board Of appraisers and make their
complaint. If that board decides against
them, the courts are open to them. The
Secretary of the Treasury has no power
10 change the tariff laws, and it is his
duty to see to it that they are not
changed in practice for the benefit of any
nation.
1t looks very much as if Russia were
trying to bulldoze this country into let
ting her sugar come into this country on
more favorable terms than that of Ger
many, France or Belgium comes in. The
United States are the losers by the mis-
the two countries, because the value of
the sugar which Russia sends to us is
only about One-fortieth of the value of
the iron and steel products which we send
to her 1t is probable that Russia will
soon see that she has been little too
hasty in this matter.
