A GOVERNMENT VICTORY.
The Solicitor Generals Opinion on
the Supreme Court DecisIOns.

john X Richards, Solicitor General of
the Department OF Justice, last night
gave out the following statement regard
ing the decisions of the Supreme Court
in the Porto Rican cases:
THE important question involved in
these cases was whether the cession con-
tanned in the Treaty of Paris made Porto
Rico and the Philippines an integral
part of the United States, within the
meaning of the provision of the Constit1-
ton requiring all duties, imposts. and ex-
cises to be uniform throughout the United
States. The court held that the cession
did not make Porto Rico and the Philip
pines an integral part of the United
States within the meaning of this iimita-
tion, but simply made 1t domestic terri
tory of the United States, subject TO the
full control of Congress, which could be
exercised without reference to this iimita-
tion. This limitation, the court held, was
intended to apply to the States of the
Union and does not apply. to acquired ter
ritory unless by the treaty or the subse-
quent act of Congress it is incorporated
within and becomes an integral part of
the United States.
The decision is a substantial victory
for the Government. 1t sustains to the
fullest extent the So-caIled insuIar policy
of the Administration. The Government
now has the sanction of the Supreme
Court for governing these Islands as their
needs Tequire. The court holds that the
Constitution did not of its own force at
once apply to these ceded territories,
placing their people. their products, and
their ports on an immediate equality with
ours. and comforting upon them all the
rights, privileges, and immunities enjoyed
by the people, the products, and the ports
OF the several States. While their funda-
mental rights are preserved by those un-
derlying principles of the Constitution
which apply everywhere, the status of
their citizens and the nature of the Gus
toms and commercial regulations applica-
BILE are to be determined by Congress un-
der the exercise of that power vested by
the Constitution in Congress to pass all
needful rules and regulations for the gov
ernment of the territory belonging to the
United States.
obviously, what l have said above as
20 the cession of Porto Rico applies equal
ly well to the cession of the Philippines,
so that the President is perfectly lree, un-
der the Spooner act, TO govern the Philip
pines as their needs and our interests
may require.
''At the same time that the court has
thus sustained to the fullest extent the
contention of the Government in these
cases, It has held as a matter of statutory
construction that the Dingley act could
not be held to impose duties on goods
brought from Porto Rico because by the
cession Porto Rico became territory be-
longing to the United States, domestic
territory, and therefore ceased to be
foreign country.

A LONDON COMMENT.
The "Standard" Speaks of States
munIiISc Legal Fictions.

LONDON, May 2S.-The decision of the
United States Supreme Court in the
Porto Rican cases receives considerable
prominence In the newspapers here and
is characterized as important and mo-
mentous. The STANDARD, commenting
on it, says:
THE plain man may be a little puzzled
and even startled by the discovery that
territory which had become domestic
could be deprived of that character by
action of Congress, which the Constitu-
tion declares to be unlawful regarding any
part of the United States, but the capac-
ity of English courts and those descended
from them to construct useful and states
manlike legal fictions is boundless. Those
who argued that the Constitution would
not allow the Union to hold colonies as
dependencies moderated the power of
American lawyers to adapt the language
of the Constitution to modern needs and
circumstance"

The opinion in this case cited. with ap-
parent approval, a despatch written by
James Buchanan, Secretary Of State. and
a circular letter written by Mr. Walker,
Secretary of the Treasury. 1t established
these propositions. said Justice Brown;
I'D That under the war power the Mill
tary Governor Of California was author
lied to prescribe a scale Of duties upon
imp@=tations from foreign countries to
San Francisco, and to collect the same
through a collector appointed by himself
until the ratification of the Treaty of
Peace. (2) That after such ratification du
ties were legally eXactel under the tariff
laws of the United States, which took ef-
feet Immediately. 80 That the civil gov
ernment established in California contin-
ued from the necessities Of the case until
Congress provided territorial govern

1T will be seen" continued Justice
Brown, that the three propositions in
volve a recognition of the fact that Cali
fornia became domestic territory imme-
diateiy upon the ratification Of the treaty,
or. TO speak more accurately, as soon
this was officially known in California.
The doctrine that a port cedod TO and Oc-
Cupied by US does not lose It's foreign
character until Congress had acted, and
collector is appointed, was distinctly re
pudiated with the apparent aCquleSceaCe
of Chief Justice Taney, who wrote the
opinion in Fleming US. Page, Hdd still re-
malned the Chief Justice Of the court
The opinion does not involve directly the
question at issue in this case; whether
goods carried from a port in a ceded ter
ritory directly to New York are subject
to duties since the duties in Cross VS.
Harrison We're eXacted upon foreign goods
imported into San Francisco as an Amer
lean port: but t is impossible 60 escape
the logical inference from that case that
goods carried from San Francisco to New
York after the ratification Of the treaty
would not be considered as imported from
a foreign country.

THE wise men who framed the Consti-

creed its adoption, were unwilling to de-

rule that decision in order TO reach the re-

1T is wholly inadmissible to reject the
process of reasoning by which the Chief
Justice reached and tested the soundness
of his conclusion as merely obiter. The
Chief Justice held the Territories as well
as the District to be part of the United

also drafted numerous other proposed
amendments, covering twenty-six printed
pages. 1t would appear to be wise to pro-
vlde tenure saving clause by joint reso-
luton, as in the cases of the January juries
thus segregating these two important mat
tiers from the general mass of proposed
amendments, to the end that such joint res
olutions may be passed before the code goes
into operation on January 2, 1902.
1t will be remembered that the question
or the effect of the code upon certain Off
ton 1888 of the code of "all acts and parts
of acts of the general assembly of the state
or Maryland general and permanent in
their nature, and all like acts and paris of
acts OF the legislative assembly of the Dis
.trict of Columbia, and all like acts and
parts OF acts of Congress applying solely to
the District of Columbia in force on the
day OF the passage Of the code. March,
3, 1901" because all Of the officers men
toned hold their offices under acts or parts
of acts which the code expressly repeats
without any saving clause as to rights,
terms or tenures of public officers or offices.
Errors Can Be Corrected.
There are many most excellent provisions
in the code. 1t will prove of great benefit
in the future. Errors and omissions are to
be expected. They can be corrected. The
whole code has been an arduous labor of
love Of able jurists and lawyers, who are
deserving of the earnest appreciation of the
forts in this respect. What has been stated
as to certain questions to which the repeal
ing clause may give rise has not been put
forth in any spirit Of hostile criticism or
opposition to the code or its creators, but In
the hope Of assisting in the early correction
Of some doubtful matters Of vital impor-
lance, so that no questions can be raised
about them when the code takes effect on
January 2, 1902.
The repeating clause Of a new law is al
ways the most difficult and dangerous rart
of it to frame That Of the code may per-
haps extend far beyond the mere matter
of it's suggested effect upon the rights or
tenures to certain public Offices. 1t sh ,uld
be carefully examined with respect to every
matter arising under or affected by any
of the present acts which the code repeats
There is no doubt that many very unex-
pected results will be produced, but they
can be corrected from time to time when
discovered Yet, after all, as heretofore
stated, the question is, not what was in
tended in fact, but what has actually been
done and intended in law.
