sPLENpIpLY AnGuEn

Whatever the judgment OF the supreme
court may be on the great question of
constitutional law which is involved in
the cases now before it relating to fine
political status CT the new island DOS
sessions, it must afford qualification TO
every citizen that tbs question has been
argued so exhaustively and by such dis
tinguished members of the American bar.
With men Of such splendid attachments
as eX-Secretary Carlisle, Frederick r
Coudert and Paul F. Fuller arrayed
against Attorney General Briggs and his
associates, there can be no doubt that
the learning Of The case will be fully pre-
scented to the court.
The argument Of Mr.. Coudert, made on
Tuesday last. against the imposition of
customs duties on articles shipped into
the states from Porto Rico, brief as ara
the reports OF it contained in the press
dispatches, brings out some additional
points which materially sustain the the
Org that the new possessions are to be
regarded, since the adoption OF the Span
fish Paris treaty, as an integral part of
the United States The point made for
instance by Mr.. Coudert, that the fed
eral government being a political creation
arising out of the constitution and of
powers limited and prescribed by the con-
stitution, cannot be regarded as having

THE LETTER HE DID NOT MAIL.

As he left the house in the morning.
Said his wife: Here's a letter to mail,
And see that you dent forget itr'
SO he ted her, of course, he'd not fail
As he placed it into his pocket
Inc address on the letter her saw
And me name of 1T was somewhat famil-
1t was that of his mother-in-Iaw
And then a grim fact he remembered
That his wife had threatened to send
And invite her to make a long visit
What else could this letter portend?
A look Of profound resolution
Did ever his features prevail:
For week it reposed in his pocket
The letter he did not mail.
Then one evening, when home returning.
He met his dear wife at the door,
Who asked If he'd mailed that letter
She gave him the week before.
He told her, of course, he had mailed It.
Then it's very peculiar" said she,
Fer I'd written before to mother
70 ask her to visit me.
"And that letter was to inform her
I'd rather shed wait till next fall;
But here She arrived this morning
She never received 1t at alli''
Until he was alone he waited,
Then kicked himself like a fail,
And tore into uttermost atoms
The letter he did not mail.

Concerning the ship subsidy bill we
quote the following from the East Grand
Forks Tribune:
Senator Allen. of Nebraska, has pro-
posed an amendment to the ship sub
sidy bill. authorizing payment of boun-
the. amounts named being 10 cents a
bushel on wheat. so cents a BARRE on
wheat -four, 10 cents a bushel
on rye. so cents barrel on
rye -four, 5 cents bushel on corn, 7
cents per Genital on ground corn, cent
pound on cotton, cents pound on
hops. and cents a pound on tobacco
There is OF course, no probability that
Senator Aliens amendment will be
gard the proposition as on the same foot
ing with the object aimed at by the
ship subsidy bill. so far as principle is
concerned. and being much better way
to give away public money, because it
would be more widely distributed
Senator Aliens idea is not such a bad
one. Practically the same plan is sug-
gested by Mr.. J. ]. Hill in recent issue
Of the new magazine, The Words Work.
1t does however. seem that, if such a.
plan were adopted. 1t would be necessary
in order to benefit American shipping
to limit the bounty to goods sent out In

publicans that the incoming legislature
shall provide for the election of state
superintendent of public instruction, and
we shall not be surprised if the legis-

term of the state public examiner from
three to two years, as they cannot toll
crate the thought of a Democrat holding
the Office one year under a Republican

Republican party two years ago was such
a shock to the leaders of the party that

mean proportions, was found in league
with that wretched street committee and
the adventurous Bremen to bring down
with the rope and tackle Of the law the
idol of local reform from its pedestal
But to have the unspeakable Bremen
stand by during the operation, and sug-
gest his own ability to piece the shatter-
ed fragments of the idol with the aid of
two of his assistant clerks, was indeed
insult added to injury
1t was with politeness, we are told,
that the idol refused to submit to being
placed together. Politeness is well, even
on the part of idols when they conde-
scend at all to make their will known
fears that Comptroller McCardy made
grievous mistake when he refused to ac-
cept the offer of City Treasurer Bremen
SO generously rendered, of two Of his as
comptroller to comply with the provis-
ions of the city charter against which
that official makes his vain protest. The
acceptance of such an offer would save
the city the expense of two expert ac-
countants which the comptroller says
would be necessary. And in the saving
to the city of any amount whatever, of
course there is nc one to question the en-
thusiastic devotion of the comptroller
Moreover, by the judicious interchange
of views and experiences which would
naturally result if the city treasurer
were allowed the free access to the comp
trollers books, even Mr.. Bremen might
be able to secure enlightenment as would
be of great value to him in the early
stages of his official career. He is very
evidently, as the city comptroller sees,
an inexperienced man; and if he were
allowed, by the thoughtful aid of the
comptroller, to fathom the splendid sys-
tenn which the Comptroller has in vogue
in his office he might learn a few facts
which would prove of future value Mr.
McCardy of course has nothing to con-
cea1. He is not known to have secured
of official motherhood he would be rem
dering great service no doubt to the
city treasurer. VINO is yet young, if he
would let him into any little secrets
which the system holds, which of course
must be designed wholly for the good of
the city service.
The G Globe offers this suggestion to
the city comptroller III the spirit of fond
attachment which has always distin-
guished this paper in its relations toward
Mr.. McCardy officially; and suggests that
such a course might mitigate some of the
wrongs which have been perpetrated on
him by forcing him to a compliance with
the requirements of the city charter.
