The decision Of the Supreme Court pro-
claims the possession by the national gov
ernment Of the constitutional power to
govern territory appurtenant TO the United
States in accordance with the obvious
demands OF the welfare of such terri
tory and Of the States unembarrassed by
the rigid constitutional restrictions In re-
spect 10 uniformity which limit Congress
In legislating for the States. And the Su-
preme Court recognizes the smallest pos
sible distinction between the status of the
territory and the State which is compatible
with the existence Of this power IN the
national government and with the possi-
biiity OF this discriminating legislation in
favor Of the territory. The Supreme Court
does not permit Porto Rico to be classed
on the one hand as a foreign country under
the Dingley law or on the other hand as a
State Of the United States under the rev.
enue clause Of the Constitution It Is
immaterial that the reasoning Of four Of
the justices who agree in the second
branch Of the courts Judgment carries
them into dissent from the frst branch

Full Moon and Weather Chanre.

The month Of May has proved a doleful
period as to weather In this locality.
Rains have persisted. especially during the
past two weeks, in a manner to cast dis
credit upon the reputation of the month
Tor smiling beauty. Scarce day has passed
in a fortnight without a shower or a hard
pour or a drizZle, and the umbrella has
been the most popular symbol of the sea-
son. belief prevails that there will not
be change until the next phase Of the
moon occurs. or until 1t "fulls," as the
FOLKLORE phrase runs. Fortunately. this
date arrives tomorrow. and If there be vir-
tue in the principle of connection between
the moon and the weather there should
come change for the better next week.
June has opened gioomily enough, and the
season Is now decidedly backward. al
though the vegetation is we'll advanced In
the main. 1t Is to be feared that this pro-
longed period Of chill and moisture pre-
sages hot time during this month Prob
ably, however the best way to contem-
plate the weather is to accept it as It
comes. to provide against 1t then, and not
to worry over what tomorrow or next week
may have in store.

Is Tammany Taking the Aggressive

Premature political sensations are in or
der just now. Closely following the sur
prise sprung in South Carolina where a
senatorial campaign involving the future
policy of the democracy of the state was
briefly started year ahead Of time by the
tmpulsive retOrts of the leading contest
ants, comes the untimely opening of the re-
form fight in New York city In the ordi-
nary course the actual encounter of the re-
form and the machine forces would not
occur for at least two or perhaps three
months yet. But it is already in evidence
and the occasion of the first clash was
wholly unconnected with the political situ-
alton in the metropolis. The police chiefs
of the United States and Canada were ban
quoting the other night, with Deputy Com
missioner Devery, Tammany's pet police
man, conspicuous among the hosts When
the speechmakfng time came the presid-
ing officer, Brooklynite in close touch
with the bosses, opened with an outburst
OF scornful references to the reform ele-
ments In their relation to the police force.
He spoke strongly and to the point He
threw down a challenge to the purifiers
His action took everybody by surprise,
save. apparently. the New York policemen
and politicians. who cheered him Justify.
noted republican leaders. Indicated their
amazernent at the turn of affairs
Just as in South Carolina II Is believed
by many that Senator Tillman decided to
force the fighting and precipitate the crisis
so 1t Is believed by some in New York that
Tammany Is determined TO force the cam
paign and assume an aggressively defen-
sive position early. Richard Croker Is
scheduled to return TO New York earlier
Derby race. which is very much in his
line. Something is doing in Gotham. 1t
IS evident. Now with the police chiefs
banquet the scene of bitter assault upon
the reform movement. with the police of
the metropolis eulogiZed as heroes and
martyrs on the altar of hypocrisy and
prejudice and malevolence. with Devery's
friends lavishly opening wine In a vigorous
but futile effort TO elect their man
president of the police chiefs organization,
1t begins to look though the machine
bosses had determined to press the cam
paisn, to draw out their opponents to as
sumo the offensive and to open long sum-
ner campaign of abuse ridicuIe and men,
dacity. Such a campaign is just suited to
the professional Tammany element The
reform factors. on the other hand are nor
maly too seriously engrossed in business
affairs to participate in these extended agi-
tations. and herein lies one of the ele-
msnts of Tammany's strength Reform
ought to win In New York this year, how
ever against any such slight handicap.

Bright and intelligent far beyond s4is years, he attracted the admiration and a~on the hearts of all who knew him, it ls no wonder that he was idolized by his fond parents. Dear father. fond mother, you should not grieye the loss of your little son. He is much happier than you. llis Mtle chair is vacant, and we know that there IS an aching void in your hearts, but CT, what consolation, what sweet assu. sences you have, that he is at rest forever, ro day little Brother is beckoning you. dear parents, to join him in that happy home beyond the sky. Two little angels, instead of one, are now calling to you from Heavens great white throne. Re solve to meet them God will help you. Goodbye. little brother: we will not say farewell. for some good day we hope to meet you in brighter world than this.

QUO vADlS.

The cleanest and most moral play ever written and triumph of untarnished art, what is c'aimed'for Quo Vadis," which is to be presented here on Monday, March llth at the opera house, by the Carpenter Dramatic Company.
 The play appeals strongly in setting forth a graphic picture of the period when the Roman Empire under Nero was at its best. The incidents of the book are vivid ly brought out in the drama, showing the desperate struggles of the Christians against the despot and his court. The scenes, consisting of eleven stage sets, are striking and beautiful. The flight of the Emperor and the burning of Rome is an impressive stage picture. The bur.ing of the Christians is also a scene that stirs the audience ts the highest pitch of enthu- siasm. The singing of the Christians and the prayer and benedictions of the Apostle Peter are solemn and effective, while the original music adds much to its success.
 Quo Vadis" as play has the honor of breaking all records as to receipts and at tendance in Chicago. New York and Phil. adelpha. The company is a strong one and the scenic effect elaborate and the best.
 To fully appreciate the play one should read the bsok, which can be had at the newsstand for ten cents

The Noble Outcast.

The Noble Outcast given at the Opera House on last Friday evening. is the first play by amateurs, we have had in some time. The infrsquency of tiese plays by home talent is surprising, when we con- slider the remarkably meriiorious work done in the Noble Outcast. Miss Norma Rollwage as the heroine, acted her part to tha life. showing talent of rare quality The heavy business between Ernest Pas lay as Jas. Blackburn and J. Sergetl Shields as Jerry Westtn, was fine op portunity for the display of histrionic ability, and they both took advantage ot the occasion, doing some Of the best acr ing of the evening.
 Miss Jessie Thomas made a most ex- cellent old lady and gave her lines clearly and effectively, seeming to be perfectly &, home on the boards. Mir. Tom FoIbre was the typical lover. handsome and de bonnair, ''holding as 'twere tho mirror up to nature" MT. Ben Neblett, as Col Lee, was well gotten up, and showed by his acting true perception Of the charac- ter. Miss Mary Merwin as the maid. was a delightful picture, her pretty ways and bright remarks, adding not little to the success of the evening.
 To Mrs. w. II. Alley is due the credit for the admirable staging of the play and her painstaking care and uniiring en- ergy were well repaid by the spirited per formance. which taken altogether. was a credit to the town and we hope 1t is thr forerunner of many more, equally as good. With malice towards none. but, on thr contrary, the gentlest consideration for all, we venture to give gentle hint. Th- footiights form a barrier behind whose lines neither friend nor enemy should be singled out; but due credit given to pains taking effort, even if that effort fall short Of attainment.
