IMPERIALISM OUjE1US.

Discussion of the many phases of the
recent supreme court decision as to our
insular policy proceeds vigorously. One
of the most gratifying features of the
decision from a purely political stand
point is that it tears to pieces the demo-
cratic war cry that the administration
was drifting toward imperialism and
that it sought to create subject terrific
ries practically Identical with the crown
colonies of Great Britain. On this sub
Jest the Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune writes:
The supreme court. in its double
tarreled decision. effectually disposes of
the Imperialism bugaboo. So far as the
government was defeated in the decis-
ions yesterday it was exclusively to the
extent that the executive department
had assumed to fix tariff duties for the
islands.
THE court first of all held that, after
