The decision of the supreme court as
reviewed, shows that the government
was sustained in the Porto Rican tax
case. There were two cases, but one Of
them was brought before the congress
had acted The other was brought after
congress had passed the Porto Rican
tariff act. In the former case the consti.
tuition governs, but in the latter. that
ancient hoary.h headed document is waved
aside, and congress. composed of repre-
sentatives OF the people. is held to be the
paramount authority. Plenary congres
sional powers constitutes ne idea from
the highest judiciary. but We like
it. no matter what may be the
effects Of this important decision.
The theory that the people do rule after
all. IS preferable in our judgment TO
denying them the rlgnt SO 10 iegisiate
because the constitution. builded by
grand and far seeing men. yet men who
could not foresee expansion as we have
seen our country expanded, is mute up.

over acquired territory. We detest the
policy Of the administration in attempt.

'frills for graduation day is a real

rather, what some vague authority Of
custom says it wants.
For this reason, if for no deeper ethi-
cal one. the action of the Chicago board
Of education viii be approved by the
majority OF people. It didn't go very
far, but it puts some consistency into
the general theory of public schools as
institutions for making life simpler and
more level for the every day bread-and-
butter Garner. If every school board in
the country would not only follow this
plan, but aim in every way to diseour-
age the aristocratic tendencies Of public
schools. it would conduce to more gen.
eral fairness in the questions Of public
contention which crop up after school
life is done. The poor have a right to
be protected from unnecessary expense
in the public schools. They have a right
to ask that the distinctions Of wealth
and class shall not be imposed upon
them there. and that they and their
children shall not look forward each
year to graduation day as a landmark
for worries, needless economies and
pinchings and a final result of general
dissatisfaction because. even by great
efforts, thousand dollar income cannot
possibly produce the same results as
ten thousand one.

AN ENGLISH VIEW OF AMERI-
CAN TRUSTS.

Sir Henry NJ. Stanley. the famous ex-
plorer and politician, writes about
American trusts in the June Success.
He says: Trusts are dangerous, and
we do not yet know the limits Of their
perils. The present menace lies in the
increase of prices should they crush
out competitors and obtain a monopoly
Given a monopoly. they can fix their
own prices and people must pay them
Competition means cheap prices; mo-
nopoly, as a general thing. means high
prices Personally. have an instinct
i've mistrust of trusts. They seem to
me to SAVIOR so much of stock exchange
manipulation and speculation that I
have never been able to overcome my
feeling against them. England, in
common with America. shares the SEN
timent.
In America. owing to the tariff, peo-
pie already pay very high prices for
nearly everything they require; and,
If trusts obtain monopOhes and further
increase prices. there is no saying how
far the matter may go. At present, the
trust system is but little developed It
IS applied to very few products. It's po-
tentialities. however, are unbounded.
The trust is the pebble thrown into
the pool-the pebble which causes an
Overwhelming circle whose limits can
not be foreseen-,
A powerful combination of monopoly
trusts behind the government would be
a danger. The high intelligence of the
men at their head would be powerless
to shape their policy in certain con-
junctures. Suppose a trust, having
killed all competition and paying div
idend of 10 per cent. encounters cir
cumstances which render it necessary
to enhance prices in order to maintain
that dividend. Subsequent occurrences
Of untoward circumstances might send
prices up to exorbitant figures.

GRADUATION DAY FRILLs.

Under the caption above the AIinneap-
oils Times submits some timely
thoughts on a subject which is about to
come home to very many parents in this
and every other city as follows:
Some time ago superintendent Cooley,
of the Chicago public schools, ventured
to suggest that there was such thing
as too much glory in graduation day.
when glory taxed people who could i'll
afford it with the outgo of sums for
dress and flowers which meant real pri-
walton in various ways for many fami-
lies This was such an indirect way Of
hitting at our boosted American free
dom to do as we please even If it busts
the bank that the school board did not
take TO it kindly at first, but after pro-
Ionged discussion the Chicago board of
education adopted a compromise in the
form of a resolution declaring that f1ow-
ers and other presents should not be
given to the graduates at commence
ment day.
It was the general opinion that fully
so per cent of the pupils who graduated
from the high schools Of Chicago come
from homes where the question Of

of auditor of disbursements for the San

of auditor of freight receipts at Los
Angeles, which place was vacated by
c. 5. Sutton. Mr.. White returned to-
day from Chicago and when seen by a
reporter this afternoon refused either
to confirm or deny the report of his pro-
motion. It is believed, however. that
the appointment win be announced
within a few days.
Mr.. White has been with the Santa Fe
for years and the promotion to the posi-
ton mentioned could not fail to be be-
slowed upon a competent man.
The names of ". J. Healy and / s

the Santa Fe here, have been mention
ed among the possibilities for the place

GUARDIAN FOR CHIMAY.
Her Uncle Made COnservatOr of
Her Property.

Chicago, May 22.-Frincess de Chimay,
formerly Clara Ward of Detroit, was de-
clared d spendthrift and incapable OF
managing her property, in the probate
court here. Thomas r. Lyons. her uncle,
was appointed cOnservator of her estate,
and filed q bond Of 500, 600. He alleged
that since she came into her property
in 1894 the princess has spent $400, 900 in
addition to an annual income of from
$4,000 to $4,000. Mr.. Lyons produced
proof that his niece concurred with him
in believing a conservator necessary.
The present action, according to
statements of Mr.. Lyons to the jury,
was precipitated by the demand made
in February last from Egypt for $50, 700
to pay the Woman's accumulated debts
These had accrued in two years.
This bill was the largest ever present
ed. Her previous record had been the
spending Of 10000 francs in Paris in six
weeks. All of these bills, Mr.. Lyons, as
trustee, had to settle out Of the womans
fortune When the debts in Egypt were
