In and Out of the Union.

Westinghouse find less difficulty in
graspng the suggested distinction between
the United States in the geographical
and in the governing or constitutional
sense. by reason Of the fact that the Dis
trict itself has been construed by our high
est judicial tribunal as in the Union and
out Of the Union. a State and not
State. according to the differing conditions
under which the question has been raised.
The District has been pronounced by the
Supreme Court a State under a treaty with
France a construction comforting privileges
on aliens. but not a State under the Consti-
tuition. whose people can sue in the federal
courts. Direct taxes are collected from
the District. but no Representatives are
allotted to 1t. though the Constitution ex-
pressly couples the two things When the
words throughout the United States are
employed in the Constitution, they have
been held to include the District when uni
formity Of duties Is prescribed, and to ex-
clude the District when the time of nation
al elections Is fixed. 1t has been treated as

Saving Juvenile Offenders.

The House District committee has re-
ported favorably the bill introduced by Mr..
Pearre in the House and by Mr.. Mcmillan in
the Senate throwing humanitarian princi-
Piles around cases involving delinquent chill
dren In the District of Columbia. This is
as 1t should be, and both houses should take
prompt action in passing this measure,
which has received the earnest indorse-
ment of the Board of Children's Guardians
and the judges of the Police Courts. The
proposed law adds one more step to the
stairway leading from the level of the old
idea of making criminal of a juvenile
who had once offended, to the higher plat
form Of the new idea. that every effort
should be made to reform juvenile Offend
ers instead of confirming the effort to pun
ishment. The bill broadens somewhat the
power of the Board Of Children's Guardians
to save juveniles from themselves and from
their surroundings. 1t does away with the
crying evil existing today Of Juveniles, on
petty, often trivial. charges. and this
through no fault Of the judges, being sent
to the Jail and workhouse, where they are
herded with hardened criminals and from
which they emerge, past masters in vice,
with diplomas In crime, which readily ad-
init them to the inner circles of that So
ciety which Is the constant menace to the
well being of the community This bill pro-
vides q method of investigating properly

the conditions surrounding juvenile Offend
ers and it takes an admirable step in pro-
viding that cases involving children shall
be tried by the courts separate and apart
from the trial of other cases. The District
has provided the House of Detention, where
juveniles can be held prior to trial, and 1t
has furnished separate means by which they
can be taken to the courts, and the logical
steps, provided by this bill, should now be
taken to prevent these little ones from be-
ing herded with criminals in the Police
Court in the Jail or in the workhouse. The
District should get closer and closer to the
idea in the law that delinquent children
are to be saved from themselves. saved
from their surroundings, and further and
further from the idea that because a child
has committed trivial offense. society
must punish, without thought of reform:
that the young offender must be thrown
into the black pond of crime. to be stained
with the blackness and to scatter it broad
cast throughout the rest of life

The Drafty White House.

President Mckinley is reported to be re-
covering from his attack of the grip and
will doubtless soon be out again and at
tending to his official duties. But the brief
solicitude to which the nation was subject
ed on account of the indisposition of its ex-
ecutive head ought not to be allowed to
pass without awakening public opinion to
the need Of correcting the conditions which
probably caused the Presidents condition
and which might have proved serious had
he not taken prompt precautions. His sec
rotary says: 1.-The reception rooms of the
White House are all drafty and on that ac-
count dangerous to a man in the Presi-
dents condition. The whole house is
drafty and dangerous for man with the
grip. but the rooms where the President
receives callers are in particular to be
avoided" This is the sort of house that
a nation of nearly 1900, 600 people, which
is constantly Haunting it's greatness and
prosperity In the face of the world, pro-
vides for it's President The facts are I'M
disputed and have been public property
for years. But Congress has dawdled and
permitted a dangerous situation to con-
tinue. The possibility of what this neglect
might have led to should spur public opin-
ion to force Congress to provide the ma
TONS head a suitable residence

were to be imposed and not a part Of that
Union when privileges were to be conferred.
The fact that there is no dispute over the
statement that the United States, geo.
graphically and in the popular sense, in
cludes every inch Of territory in or belong
ing to 1t and subject to its Jurisdiction robs
of all force such metaphors as that which
pictures the United States as farm. and
asks whether an adjoining field purchased
by the farmer, Uncle Sam, would not be-
come part of his farm. The new Philip
pines field is unquestionably part of Uncle
Sans farm. 1t is subject to his jurisdiction
and sovereignty and to that of no one else.
The question at issue in the Supreme Court
is not one of ownership. geography or to-
Biography. but corresponds to that which
would be raised II the tenants on the re-
Gently purchased field should claim from
the moment of purchase all the privileges
that had been assured by Uncle Sam to the
tenants of the original farm, and should be
burdened with ali the requirements imposed
upon these original tenants. without taking
into account either differences in the char
acter of the old and the recently acquired
tenants. variations in the productiveness
and other conditions of the old fields and
the new.
Congress is given by the Constitution the
power to admit new States to the Union
and to regulate and dispose of the territory
belonging to the United States, from which
territory presumably these new States are
to be created The practical question is
whether the Constitution intends and de-
clares that Congress in regulating this ter
ritory in the preliminary and preparatory
period which precedes admission to State
hood Is bound by all the restrictions and
limitations which apply to it in its legisla-
tive relation to the sovereign States.
In its actual dealings with 1.-The territory
belonging to the United States as it has
been successfully acquired Congress has
assumed that both for the national and the
territorial welfare 1t could in accordance
with the constitutional intent legislate dis
crimina tingly and considerably for each
newcomer in the kindergarten class of the
school of Americanism, unembarrassed by
certain rigid and cramping rules of uni
formity which limit it in dealing with SOW
ereign States of the Union.

MIR. Hill and the South.

The invitation extended by the Texas
senate to David B. Hill to visit the state
and deliver an address upon the political
issues OF the day claims general attention.
iexas mas been one of Mr.. Bryan's strong
holds He is still very popular there. He
has just returned from a hunting and leo
turing trip through that section during
which he bagged a good many Texas ducks
and heard again the inspiring sound of
hearty Texas cheers. But now the Texas
people want to hear Mr.. HILL And on the
subject of politics. And they send for him.
Has not the ball for the democratic leader
ship fairly opened? Does anything else ex-
plain this overture from Texas to New
York?
MIR. Hell. once fairly in the field and
warm under the collar, is going to make it
lively for his rivals. He knows all the
ropes, and he never sleeps. But he knows
more than the ropes. That old notion
which had gained wide circulation about
the time Mr.. Hill came to the Senate rank
ing him with the peanut politicians has
long since been abandoned. He made his
way with all ease to the front In the Sem
ate. and no mere politician ever did that
AS debater as a parliamentarian, and
as lawyer he took and held place among
the leaders. Except in the case of Mr..
German. the democratic party has not in
years sustained as great a loss in the Sem
ate as when Mr.. Hill failed of reelection
He made himself in one term power on
that side of the chamber.
At Kansas City last summer the southern
men manifested great interest in Mr.. Hill.
They listened with respect to his criticisms
OF the platform. and We're half inclined to
vote under his advice for notification
They probably wish now that they had
done so. But they still loved Mr.. Bryan
more. and held on to free silver They
would gladly have nominated Mr. Hill for
Vice President, but he gently but firmly
put that honor away from him. So that
in this day of talk about a new leader a
new platform, a reorganized party and all
that: when the south begins to tire again
of life In the wilderness, what more nat
ural than that she should turn to Mr. Hill
and examine his credentials to see If he
bears any Of the earmarks of a Moses?

Regret for Cervera's Illness.

FTOm
The news that Admiral Cervera is dan
gerously i'll and that his recovery is appar-
emily hopeless will be received in this coun-
try with genuine regret. His chivalry and
courtesy at the time of the Merrimac cpl
sode showed the American people that they
had In him a generous and worthy foe;
and during his residence here after his
surrender. he dcepened the impression then
made by his unfailing tact. 1t Is not often
that a foreigner who has fought against a
nation Is regarded thereafter with real af-
lection. But this is certainly Admiral Ger
Yera'S case.

An Impression of Hazins.

There cannot be the slightest doubt
About the culture of this youth,
His fellow students took him out
And made his future sure, in sooth.
They chewed his ear and gouged his eye,
He was a foot ball for the clan,
And now he is, none can deny,
A soldier and a gentleman.
Four hundred "eagIes" he achieved
OF strength he felt some little loss;
But his exhaustion was relieved
With potions of tabasco sauce
They left him whimpering from the pain
A yell would place him meath the ban
So now he is, It's very plain,
A soldier and a gentleman
