The decisions are substantially a
victory for the government. They sus-
tain to the fullest extent the so-cAlled
insular policy of the administration.
The government now has the sanction
of the Supreme Court for governing
these islands as their needs and our
interests may require. The court holds
that the constitution did not OF Its own
force at once apply to those ceded ter
ritories, placing their people. their
products and their ports on an imme-
diate equality with ours and confer
ring upon them all the rights, privl-
leges and immunities enjoyed by the
people, products and ports of the sew
eral states.
while their fundamental rights are
preserved by those underlying princi-
pies Of the constitution which apply
everywhere, the status OF their citi-
zeDs and the nature Of the customs
and commercial regulations are to be
determined by Congress and the exer-
else OF the power vested by the consti-
tuition in Congress to make all needful
rules and regulations respecting terri
tory belonging to the United States.
Obviously what have said regarding
Porto Rico applies equally well to the
Philippines, SO that the President is
perfectly free under the Spooner act to
govern the Philippines as their needs
and their Interests may require"

TT is foolish" he replied, "to suppose
that crime can be wholly suppressed in SO
large community as this where there
are so many conditions to cope with. but
the condition Is most awful when the po-

Bishop Potter was asked IL he thought
Mayor Van Wyck pursued the right course
in refusing to half-mast the flag out of re-
spect TO Queen Victorias death.
Il think his position was well taken"
Bishop Potter replied, but the manner N
which he expressed himself was in very
poor taste HIS calling to mind the Bosr
war was not necessary. Between the lines
of his reported remark could be read his
hitterness-his reyengeful spirit. II he had
expressed regret at the duty which prece-
dent compelled him TO perform, think the
people generally would think better of him
He spoke as though IL gave him keen sat-
isfaction to have to refuse the request Of
fair-minded citizens. II he had lowered the
flag, however, he might have established
a troublesome precedent"
Bishop Potter come time since announced
that he must not be considered as a poss.-
BILE successor of Mayor Van Wyck- He
said to-day, however, that he had in mind
six or seven eminent New Torkers. any one
of whom could unite the reform forces and
overthrow the Tammany regime at the

pared to name the men, saying IL would

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, Jan. 20.-Bishop Potter was
interviewed to-day by a woman reporter on
existing social and political conditions in
Greater New York. The Bishop expressed
some radical opinions.
Asked what he considered the greatest
source of evil in the politics of the
metropolis. Bishop Potter said:
The Police Department, undoubtedly.
As at present governed, the Police Depart
ment is a source of evil. instead OF a source
for good. 1t is a semimilitary body. 1t is
badly governed 1t is under bad general
ship. 1t is band of hooters and plunder-
ers. Under wise leadership it should be a
force for good and the terror of evil doers.
1t is nothing of the sort. 1t is rather
help TO evil doors.
The police force should be removed from
politics Look at the London force. 1t
stands for law and order and the dignity
appertaining thereto. 1t Is held under the
strictest discipline. 1t has military man
for its Chief. 1t is recruited largely from
the army. There is no politics in the Lon
do,- Police Department. 1t is looked up

Washington. Jan. 3e-During the debate
on the agricultural appropriation bill to-

appeal for the wider distribution of bulle-
tins to the farmers of the country. The
Republicans tried to defeat the proposition.
but they were beaten by the Democrats
ralIying In force to the defense of the
farmers. Representative Rucker also took
a hand in the debate. which for a time was
sharp and exciting and the Missourians ac-
quilted themselves with great credit. They
were listened TO with close attention mad
frequently applauded.
Mr. Shackleford said in part:
'It is folly for the Republicans to say
that these bulletins are not useful. know
great benefit has been done in my district
by the circulation of that literature. i
know Of one bulletin that has been worth
thousands OF dollars to my constituents. the
bulletin teaching the farmer how to avoid
the mildew on grapes. That was sent out
by my predecessor-Mr. Bland-into my dis
trict. The farmers in my district did not
know that any such bulletin was on the
face of the earth. 1t was sent to them
and scattered about the whole district.
