JUSTICE HARlAN'S DISSENTING oPIN.
ION


81 take leaye to say that If the prin
ciples now announced should ever re
ceive the sanction of a majority Of this
court the result will be a radical and
mischievous change in our system OF
government. We will, in that event
pass from the era of constitutional lib
erty, guarded and protected by a writ
| ten constitution, into an era of legisla.
tive absOlutism. in respect of many
rights that are dear to all peoples who
love freedom.
I'm my opinion, congress has no ex.
istence and can exercise no authority
outside of the constitution. Still less
is it true that congress can deal with
new territories just as other nations
have done or may do with their new
territories. This nation is under the
control Of written constitution which
is the supreme law of the land and the
only source of the power which our gov
eminent, or any branch of 1t, may ex.
ercise at any time or at any place.
Monarchial and despotic governments,
unrestralned in their powers by written
constitutions, may do with newly &C.
quired territories what this government
may not do consistently with our
fundamental law.
The idea that this country may &C.
quire territories anywhere upon the
earth, by conquest or treaty. and hold
them as mere colonies Or provinces, is
wholly inconsistent with the spirit and
genius, as well as With the wofds. of
the constitution. The glory of our
American system of government is
that it was created by written consti.
tuition which protects the people
against the exercise Of arbitrary, un-
limited power, and the limits of which
may not be passed by the government
it created, or by any branch of it., or
even by the people who ordained it, ex.
cept by amendment. 1t will be an evil
day for American liberty if the theory
of government outside of the supreme
law of the land, finds lodgment in our
constitutional Jurisprudence"

BRO. LORTON says we have no right
to mention Fourth of July this year.
He has an impression that our pOliti-
cal faith does not suit Fourth of Ju.
ly celebration. AS usual we must set
him right. We endorse a Fourth of
July celebration if it is done in q truly
patriotic spirit, but we repeat now
what we have said many times before,
that our latter day statesmen have de-
parted from the traditions of the found
ers OF the American Republic 30 far
that our celebrations of Independence
day are empty, and many of the speech
es made on these occasions are contra
dictory. For instance, what kind of
talk are our republican wind makers
going 20 put up this year. The repub-
lican congress, president and the su-
preme court have just upheld taxa
ton without representation" and "gov.
eminent without the consent of the gov.
erned." How can they euloglze Wash.
inGton and Jefferson and the rest of
the revolution patriots in one breath
and pronounce encomium upon McKin.
ley, Hanna ct. al. in another. The doc
trine of the present day is unalterably
opposed to the doctrine of 1776. If our
republican Fourth of July orators will
be consistent they must mount the ros-
trum and say that King George was a
respectable fellow and the writer's of
the Declaration of independence were
wrong. When we say republican
speakers must utter these sentiments.
we do not mean those republicans VINO
believe as ex-Presldent Harrison did or
as Tom Reed does, nor any others
who do not respond to Hanna's
thumbs up'' dictum without do
ing q little thinking of their own.
But those who are in line with the ad.
ministratiOn's policy must shape their
orations this way or they will be un.
able to deal with present issues. Our
republican brethren are very much of
when they say that we ever asserted
that Fourth of July celebrations would
cease. We don't believe they will, but
to thinkers and reasoners they look
little bit queer, unless they are held
for the exclusive purpose of paying tri.
butte to the memory of the dead. Let's
get back to the fundamental princi.
pies on which the government was
founded; then a celebration will look
better and mean something.

before the Supreme court on Saturday,
both as 1t relates to district judges and

Monsignor Chappelle, the papal dele
gate to the Philippine islands, told him
that the friars were not to return %
the provinces and that only a sufficient
number of them were now in Manila
to act as instructors in the colleges.
This disposes of the troublesome 'friar
question"
Cebu is the first island to be visited
by the commission upon which the in
surrection is still active. 1t is unsafe
to leave the city Of Cebu without an
armed escort. The delegates from the
towns of the island who are now here
are anxious for the establishment of a
provincial government, which they be-
lieve would assist in ending the insur-
rection in Cebu.

Raleigh, N. c., April 16.
The legislative committee at work on
the treasury department books of ex-
Clerk Martin is just looking into the
accounts of the blind institution, from
which as stated, and as confessed by
Martin, he stole. Irregularities were
found in these books last night.
1t is said by a abor agitator here
that the cotton mill employees are now
organized with unions at at least twen-
ty points in this state. He says that
in Alamance, Guilford and Durham last
year a pretence was made of breaking
up the unions after the strike troubles
and the lockout in Alamance, u that
was merely a pretence. He also says
the union operatives never agreed to
the agreement which the mill owners
filed with the legislature and which the
latter accepted; in other words, that
the %unionists want a labor law
There is unquestionably an increase
in illicit distilling in this district. Rev
enue officers are very

as to any seizures.
So far no complaints as to scarcity
