CONFLICT OLE THE COIRr

The two decisions of the United States
supreme court upon the Porto Rican tar
iff cases reveal the members of that tri-
bunal in radical conflict with each other
in regard to the fundamental principles
of our government. Not only are the
members of the bench divided, but the
two decisions handed down conflict in
important particulars.
The division of the bench is peculiar
There are four justices, including the
chief justice, aSainst the government in
both cases
There are four justices who support the
government in both cases.
The ninth justice is against the gov
eminent in one case and with it in the
other. So that in one, the De Lima sugar
case, the court stands five to four against
che government, and in the other, the
Downes case, five to four in favor Of the
government.
The four justices who are against the
position of the government in both cases
are Chief Justice Fuller. Justice Harlan,
Justice Brewer and Justice Peckham.
The four who are with the government
in both cases are Justices shiras, Nc
Kenna, White and Gray.
The one who is against the govern
ment in the De Lima case and with the
government in the Downes case is Justice
Brown. The attitude of this justice is
constructively and inferentially con-
demned by the opinions of the other
eight, because of the broad conflict of the
conclusions of principle involved.
The De Lima decision, in which the court
stood against the government, holds that
Porto Rico by the treaty of Paris be-
came part of the United States and ceas-
ed to be foreign country, and therefore
that all tariff duties collected on goods
imported from Porto Rico prior to the
recent is per cent tariff provided for in
the Foraker civil act were unconstitu-
tional and Illegal
The Downes case, in which the court
sustains the government, holds that, all
though no tariff duties could be collected

THE OMAHA AND THE PUBLIC
BATHS

The controversy between the Omaha
railroad and Health Comm IS ,oner Ohags
relative to the laying of a track across
the approach to the public baths on Har-
riet island is about to be decided by
the city in favor of the railroad. While
if is universally admitted that the con-
| tentions of Dr. Ohage W r. in the inter
ests of the public and that the proposed
| the public baths by making the approach
somewhat dangerous still the commercial
| interests involved are worthy of consid-
Grafton. The result will be a compro-
mise. Instead of the Omaha obtaining
10 feet along the levee with riparian
rights which would enable it to fill in
it is to be confined to a thirty-foot
right of way properly restricted. To
protect the frequenters Of the baths the
road will be compelled to place automatic
gates at the crossing and all other and
further precautions against accidents
which may seem necessary will be in
sisted upon.
DR.. Ohage is to be commended for the
vigorous fight he has made and is still
making for the public baths. It is such
action on the part of public officials
which secures the proper concessions and
! compromises. The future may hold a
| solution of the problem to the approach
to Harriet island which will be satisfac-
tory to all concerned.

TALKS WITH The TRAVELLERS

DR.. ]. D. Griffith, Of Kansas City, is
at the Ryan. DR.. Griffith comes in ad-
vance Of the convention of the Associa-
ton of Military Surgeons of the United
States as a member of the executive
committee to assist in the preparation of
the large amount of work to be done
today, before the beginning of the con-
vention tomorrow
DR.. Griffith has been a prominent and
familiar figure in the affairs of this as
ISOLATION, and in fact in the surgical AMI
medical world for many years. He was
president of the association for three
years. He is now president of the Mis-
souri, Medical association.
At the time the Spanish-Amer;c9n
running match broke out, as Dr. Grif-
fifth calls the recent little episode between
Spain and America, the association
which convenes in annual cow ention here
tomorrow, was in session at Kansas City,
and DR.. Griffith was president 1t ad-
Journed without completing its business
which involved the election of officers
and the various surgeons were detailed
to military service. DR.. Griffith went to
Chickamauga as lieutenant co'o1eI.
where he was with the First Army corps.
He had under his charge, among others.
the members of the Twelfth Minnesota.
and remembers many of the boys with
great pleasure. The doctor became ac-
quainted with Gov. Lind, who was also
at Chickamauga during that time, and
formed very high admiration for him
DR.. Griffith says that there will be
about 3,e00 or 1900 doctors and surgeons
in st. Paul during the coming con9en,
ton, and that Kansas City will send at
least fifty or them.

from Porto Rico under the provisions of
the general tariff law or Dingley act, con-
gress nevertheless acted constitutionally
! in passing the Foraker civil act with its
Is per cent tariff included, and that the
| latter holds.
The position, therefore. of Justice
Brown who virtually by his peculiar at
titude has decided both of these con-
hicting cases, is apparently this:
First, that a 100 per cent tariff against
Porto Rico is unconstitutional and void.
Second, that Is per cent tariff against
Porto Rico is constitutional and sound.
| In other words, as so humorously ex-
| pounded by Thomas B. Reed. Porto Rico
| is IS per- cent American and IS per cent
foreign.
1t is evident that the court is by no
means through with the settlement of
the great constitutional issue involved.
It is likewise apparent that, in the divid-
ed condition of the bench and the close
margin which the majority is able to Sc
cure on either side it may take perhaps
the whole Of the dozen or more cases
before that tribunal to determine what
is the actual and final attitude of the
present court The outcome undoubtedly
hangs upon the position of Justice
Brown, and his present condition of mind
shows that he is susceptible Of educa-
tionaI deyel0pment Therefore, as the
various cases and their varying phases
come before the court for settlement it
is not unlikely that he will give the coun-
try an object lesson in progressive jul
diciaI exposition that will prolong the
ultimate settlement of the main issue for
some time to come The ability Of JUS
tice Brown to progress in his opinions
is shown by his change of front in the
income tax cases, where the court by his
deciding vote so surprisingly reversed it
self on brief notice.

LITERARY NOTES.

Laird &, Lee, of Chicago, have added
one more gem to their beautiful series Of
vest-pocket reference books. It's title is
simply Electric Sparks" but it is
really a complete review of electricity
in all its branches. The work has been
especially prepared by a scientist of
worldwide reputation, and among the
leading subjects eXhaustiVely and lucidly
treated therein we find the following:
Theory of Electricity and Magnetism,
Batteries, Accumulators, Wiring with
estimates of cost for houses OF various
sizes, Dynamos and Motors, Lighting,
Electric Railways, Plating, Telephone,
Telegraph Cables X-Rays Wireless Te-
legraphy, Welding, Electricity Applied
to Medicine with special Modes of Treat
ment for Number of Diseases). Tables
of Units, etc, etc. A very complete VO-
cabulary of Technical Terms occupies
fifty pages of this most remarkable book,
the like of which has never been attempt
ed before in this country or abroad.
There are 119 illustrations, many of them
half-tone cuts. The paper is clear, the
makeup excellent and the binding ex-
qGiSite. It will prove of immense value
to students of electricity and to all those
interested in any way in penetrating into
the mysteries of this strange force which
may truly be said ito move the world"
Some new estimates have been made
as to the sale of Mr.. Kipling's books.
OF 1.-THE Days Work alone more than
10o,e90 copies have been sold in this coun-
try, and of the authorized editions of
his works certainly no less than 500, 600
volumes have been disposed of in the
United States. An estimate of tSe recent
sales of the earlier uncopyrighted works
has led person of statistical tendency
to believe that at least 600 books by
him have ben sold in the last three years.

"appurtenant and belonging to the United
States, but mot part of the United
States" In other words, the Downes case
accepts the doctrine of colonial posses
sion, with congress in the position of an
imperial parliament.
The two most significant paragraphs,
sustaining the government, in the Downes
decision are as follows:
1--WE are Of the opinion that the island
of Porto Rico is a territory appurtenant
and belonging to the United States, but
not a part of the United States within the
revenue clause of the constitution; that
the Foraker act is constitutional so far
as it imposes duties upon imports from
such island, and that the plaintiff cannot
recover back the duties eXaeted in this
case.
1.-The practical Interpretation put by
congress upon the constitution has been
long continued and uniform to the effect
that the constitution is applicable to ter
ritories acquired by purchase or con-
quest only when and so far as congress
shall so direct"
Such was the opinion of five of the
nine justices-namely, Shiras, McKenna.
White, Brown and Gray. The dissent Of
Chief Justice Fuller and Associate JUS
tees Harlan, Brewer and Pecknam was
vigorous.
Chief Justice Fuller, commenting upon
the assumption that congress is not
bound by the constitution in the gov
eminent of the territories said in strong
English:
1.-THE source of national power in this
country is the constitution of the United
States; and the government. as to our
international affairs, possesses no inner
ent sovereign power not derived from
that instrument, and inconsistent with
its letter and spirit"
Justice Harlan, the veteran whose voice
for constitutional liberty has been clear
and strong for quarter of a century
of able judicial exposition, declared in
regard to the assumption that the gov
eminent has unlimited power not bound
by the constitution in the government of
the territories:
'I take leave to say that if the prin-
cipleS now announced should ever re-
ceiVe the sanction of a majority of this
court the result would be a radical and
mischievous change in our system or
government We will, in that event, pass
from the era of constitutional liberty
guarded and protected by a written con-
stitutiOn into an era of legislative alb
solutism, in respect to many rights that
are dear to all people who love freedom. p"
The doctrine that congress can legis-
late the constitution into contiguous ter
ritory," says Justice Harlan, may well
cause surprise, if not alarm" Congress
had no existence except by virtue OF
the constitution, and has no power over
that instrument either to extend or with
draw, repeal or amend.
One thing thus far is plain. and that
is, that the divided opinions of the court
to date have no more settled the con-
stitutional question than did the famous
fancy decision in the bred Scott case,
and further decisions are eagerly awaited.

SUPREME COURT HIS OUT
SESSION YESTERDAY WAS OF but
A FEW MINUTES DU-
RATION
NO MORE INsULAR DECISIONS

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-After a ses-
sion of three minutes today the United
States supreme court Adjourned until th5
second Monday in October. TJ@ brief
session was devoted TO The formal Discus
sion Of motions. The two remaining in
sular cases. one Of them that of the
fourteen diamond rings, dealing with i'm
portations from the Philippines. and tho
other that known as the second DOoley
case, involving the question Of impOrta-
tons from the United States to Porto
Rico failed to receive attention today,
and they go over.
NORDSTROM MUST DIE.
The court today affirmed the urgmenr
of the supreme court Of the state OF
Washington IN the case Of Charles W.
NOrdstrOm. under sentence or death on
the charge OF murder committed In that
state, and directed that the mandate %
issued at once. The immediate issue OF
the mandate in the NordstrCm ~, COM
ing from the federal court in washing
ton also was ordered. These orders dis
pose OF all the Nordstrom cases before
the court, and 80 far as this tribunal is
concerned leave him 10 his fate. His case
has become famous by reason Of the
fact that NordstrOm's death seuten mas
been postponed for nine years by reason
of legal complications.
TREASURY OPINION.
The treasury officials discussed with
much interest today the decisions Of tee
supreme court yesterday in me insulav
cases, and the conclusion has been reach
ed that nothing in these decisions is en-
elusive upon the government to change
it's administration Of she customs laws
as to the Philippine islands. and therefore
duties viii continue to be collected on
imports from those Islands as heretofore
and until the court shall have d C 1S1
