AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT.
InsuIar Test Cases Decided by the
 Supreme Court.

1nsular Test Cases Decided by the
 Supreme Court.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Opinions have been rendered in the United States supreme court in the last two oi the insular test cases. One of them was that known as the fourteen diamond ring case, involving the relationship of the United States to the Philippine Islands from tariff point of view, ano the other what is known as the Dooley case No. 2, involving the constitution ality of the collection of duty on good shipped from New York to Porto Rico.
 In the former case the court, through Chief Justice Fuller, held that the dia mond rings brought in from the Phil. ippines and over which the case arose should have been exempt from duty under the Paris treaty of peace, as that treaty made the Philippines Americar territory. The decision in the Philip. pine case followed closely that of the first Porto Rican case of last term. h the Dooley case it was held that the duty collected on goods carried from. New York to Porto Rico was permissi. ble, but that it was in reality a tax fol the benefit of the 3 orto Ricans them selves rather than an export duty, as was claimed by the merchants who an tagoniZed the government in the case
 In the Dooley case it was held that the duty collected on goods carrie from New York to Porto Rico was per missible, but that it was in reality tax for the benefit of Porto Ricans themselves rather than an export duty. as was claimed by the merchants whc antagonized the government in the case.
 Tn both cases there were dissenting opinions concurred in by four of the nine justices of the court.

BERLIN, Dec. 3.-The trial was be- gun yesterday in the Berlin criminal court of three members of the editorial staff of the Forwaerts. These men are charged with insulting Major General von Kettler by the publication of the so called Hun letters" which accused General yon kettler ard his column of summary and barbarous treatment of the Boxers during the China expedition and especially Of shooting twenty-two Boxers at Yachiao. General von Ket- tier maintained that these twenty-two men were shot in pursuance of sen tence of court martial for the massacre of 200 Christians.

The Danish West rudies Sale.

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 5. A full agreement has been reached between Denmark and the United States for the sale of the Danish West Indies. The treaty will probably be signed this week at Washington. The price fixed is between $4O00,O0O and $5.000,O0O. The questions of free trade and citi- zenship will be decided by congress, which, it is believed here, will grant these concessions. The negotiations have from the first aroused the keenest interest throughout Denmark. Public meetings to protest against the sale have been held, and remonstrances have been sent to the government and rigsdag.

Mark the changes brought about by

by the long-dead General Cope. The re

4 AIehnl for SchIeY.

In taking the position that the Navy
Department has been altogether wrong
in its attitud. toward Admirals Samp-
son ana Schley, The Times has had no
feeling in the matter save the belief
that injustice had been and was being
done. We have been in no sense
champion of Admiral Schley on per-
sonal grounds. If the second in COM
mand OF the Santiago fleet had been
any other officer our position would
have been the same; for no matter who
the second in command might have
been. Sampson was not there, and he
was no more entitled to the credit of
the victory than General Haileck was
for Grants early victories in the West
during the civil war.
Still, 1t must be confessed that from
the very beginning Admiral Schley's
course has been such as to commend
him to his fellow citizens First of all,
his conduct in the battle was in every
way that of a brave and sloillful COM
mander. Then, no sooner had the thun-
ders of the conflict died away than he
gave outspoken utterance to the unset
fish sentiment that there was glory
enough for alP'-thus distinctly recog-
nizing the right of his comrades to their
full share Next we find him strongly
and cordially endorsing Gunner Nor
gan's application for promotion, empha-
sizing the necessity of giving proper
recognition to the enlisted man behind
the gun, and showing that true Ameri-
canism which would give every man
chance to rise according to his merit
regardless of the accidents of birth.
All through the controversy and in
everything collateral or Incidental to
it Admiral Schley has conducted him
self with modesty, presenting a marked
and favorable contrast to the depart
ment's favorite. Sampson. Admiral
Schley's character is exemplified by his
recent letter to the Associated Veterans
of Farraguts fleet who not long since
conferred upon him a Farragut medal.
The decoration was presented as rec
ognition of Schley's service with the
grand old hero of New Orleans and Mo-
bile Bay. In acknowledging its receipt,
among other things the Admiral said:
at is an honor that my children and their
children VIII love TO dwell upon when !, in my
turn. have gone 70 take my place with our great
captain where enyyines cease and strifes I'M

miral commanding 10 the man behind the gun OF

perils or glory
That is the language of broad
gauge American naval officer, and the
sharp antithesis which it presents to
every sentiment that has been uttered
by Sampson since he came prominently
before the public will still further con-
firm the people of the United States in
the belief that the Navy Department

tically dictated the original Ship Subsidy
bill that was so, distressingly mutilated
before its entombment in a pigeonhOle.
The chief purpose of the bill was to get
money from the people and transfer it to
the Golfers of the International Naviga-
ton Company of which Mr.. Griscom is
president. The ostensible purpose was to
promote our American marine. but none
OF our statesmen indicated that they had
the time or ability to draft the measure.
so Griscom kindly attended 10 it, and
what his company was not to get out of
the popular contribution OF nine millions
a year would certainly build a fishing
smack or two. Senator Hanna favored
the bill, stood out to the last against its
being side-tracked. and gave his weighty
word that the scheme would be revived
at the next session of Congress. POssi-

BAD LOSERS.

in sport and in war our English cousins
are bad losers. They made an awful
row because American jockeys rode bet
ter than their boys. and threatened TO
rule all the victorious riders of their
tracks. and when the Beers whipped their
troops in battle they deafened the world
with the din of their complaints of the
unfairness of an enemy who would not
stand up to be shot at and declined to
come out of his burrow 10 be bayOneted
by stupid Tommy Atkins. And when
he did win a fight in South Africa John
Bull got indeeentiy drunk and added TO

tive OF a national Orgy-MafekinS.

cally and victory mOdestly is one of the
manifestations OF that vast egOtiSfs which

The Custom House scandal.

The scandal occasioneo by the pecu-
liar transaction by which the Treasury
Department sold the old custom house
property in New York to the Standard
Oil Bank. and agreed to pay rent for it
and to maintain other arrangements in
way TO made it nearly a free gift in
the end to the Rockefeller institution, is
revived through an effort of the New
York excise department to compel the
keepers of the restaurant in the build
ing to take out a State license. The
latter refuse, on the ground that the
premises are still Government property,
although nominally but fifty thousand
dollars of the purchase price remains
unpaid. and. as stated above, Uncle
Sam pays rent as tenant.
The deal, as readers Of The Times viii
remember, was one which no previous
Administration would have dared 10
make. No money passed at the time it
was consummated. The bank people
handed the Government a check for the
agreed amount. less fifty thousand dol
lars. and this check was Immediately
deposited in the bank The Treasury
agreed to continue in physical posses
sion until new custom house quarters
should be provided, and to pay the
Standard Oil bank a sum equal to 4 per
cent on the purchase price by way Of
rent. With the use Of the money and
the rental income. in ten years or less
the bank would own the property. prac-
tieally without its costing the magnates
interested anything worth talking
about
The matter is likely to be probed by
the local and State authorities. The
New York department of taxes and
assessments has listed the custom
house for taxation like other private
property, and when the collector shall
find it his duty TO enforce the taxes,
there is strong probability that legal
proceedings may be resorted to in the
public interest. In such an event an
exceedingly ugly matter may be sub
jected to the ventilation it should have
had some time ago.

THE SHIP SUBSIDY.

There must be some awful mistake in
the figures of the Bureau of Navigation
reporting American shipbuilding for the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1901. What's
this-1.I7S vessels bniIt, OF 401.o .oO0 gross
tons? a total tonnage surpassed only
twice in our whole history? Why this
cannot be- IT has been proved. again and
again, that ships cannot be built in the
United States without a subsidy; so how
extremely impudent in the Commis-
sioncr OF Navigation to declare that
they are being built in greater num-
bers than for many years. This is
very near giving Hanna the lie direct and
We think that the Commissioner should be
removed at once Certainly the good of
the service" would seem TO require such a
step. or else the vioieat shutting up of the
shipyards whose owners are insolent
enough to build ships after Frye had con-
~iusiyely demonstrated to then. that they
could not do it. Anyhow. il is q comfort
to know that the subsidy bill viii be
pushed next winter. Depew has said that
he Will ignore the ships and the facts. and
declare again that all our yards will rot
and our dag disappear from the ocean un-
less subsidies be granted. The greater the
number of ships built without a subsidy
the more powerful the argument for the
subsidy. But. really. the figures ought to
be supprSssed.-Ne York Evening Post.

Times ReXcngcs.

In q recent book on the Boer war
there is recorded an incident which is
perhaps as curious an instance of the
reverses in racial relations brought
about by time as anything in history.
James Barnes, author OF The Great
War Trek" was standing. during the
battle of Magersfontein, near a group
OF Highlanders, who were trying to re-
form after the surprise and demoraliza-
ton of their first repulse by the Beers.
A piper attempted to rally them with
tune but his lips We're too dry to obey
his will An officer gave him a drink
from his own flask. and presently the
skreeI of the pipes was heard in an air
which, all things considered, was
most peculiar one TO be played at that
time and place. 1t was Hey, Johnnie
Cope" and possibly no one there pres
ent knew its history and significance.
In 1745-about a hundred and fifty
years before the battle Of Magersfon-
tein-Charles Stuart landed in Scot
land. and was welcomed by the High
landers with demonstrat ations OF wild
joy His advent was treated with
somewhat high-handed Indifference by
the English Government, especially by
its military representative in Scotland,
Sir John Cope. This officer seems to
have been in some respects the same
sort of man as that Braddock who so
signally distinguished himself for ig-
norance In the French and Indian war
IN America, at about the same time.
General Cope appears 10 have regarded
his adversaTies as mere savages. not
worth much attention. The battle of
Preston Pans. in which he encountered
them for the first time, lasted about
twenty minutes, and resulted in a COM
plete rout OF the redCJats, who broke
ranks and scampered for their lives.
General Cope was said to be in the lead
Some unknown piper or camp follower
thereupon wrote the ballad "Heg.

as follows:

LET THE ARMY DECIDE.

Much has been written about the bad
effects that have followed the abolition
of the army canteen, and II the half that
has been said can be believed, it ought
TO be reinstated instanter.
The canteen was instituted after a
most careful study of the temperance
question by army officers Its operation
was believed to be beneficial in reducing
the amount of intemperance. as also in
strengthening discipline, and therefore
the army, almost as a unit, opposed its
abolition.
The Army of the United States is not
resentful, and is prOverbially STOW in
moving TO right any seeming wr lg. so
in this connection it is not surpri ng to
know that the question of the canteeu is
to be taken up by the military oIthori-
ties in a practical way.
The work has already begun at the
several army posts throughout the
country, and viii continue through the
next four pay days, thus embracing a fun
wear of time.
Careful comparison of conditions before
and after the abolition OF the cantecn
