THOSE REMARKABLE DEcI ions

The Supreme Court o, the United
states has handed down it's decisions
IN the Insular cases. With reference
60 whether or not the Constitution fol.
lows the flag, il gives answer: It does
Il does not.
The surpriiing diversity OF opinion
among the Judges themselves canno,
but tend to produce disgust among the
citizens and lower the high estimate
in which this court was held by the
people OF the land.
Viewed dispassionstely, it seems
that there was an evident attempt to
treat each individual case upon a basis
not in accordance with great princi-
Piles.
To show to what extent personal pref
ereHces and outside influences ware
permitted to operate, when the frs,
decision was announced, it wss evi
dently ont OF tune with all OF the de
cisions which followed, and this result
was attained by combina ton of votes
which sAvored strongly OF the political
influence exerted in securing a fsyo-.
able report in Senatorial Committee.
In other words. no rule of conduc,
has been set down by the United s ases
Supreme Court. In some OF the deci
sions rendered appear as Mr.. Just &c
HARLAN announced, mere jugglery
of words, which tends to disgust all
right-ihinking people who are uninfu.
enced by petty advantages or the win.
ming smiles Of great corporations
In tie face of this decision, citizens
OF color have ample reason for expect.
ing no justice from the highest tribu-
nal in the land,
i is virtual annulling OF the 18th
Amendment which prohibits slavery,
for it recognizes the right of the SOL
TAN of SULU and his subjects to hold
slaves.
It is 9 virtual Abrogstion of the ED.
MUND's Anti-PoIygamy law, for it
permits q plurality OF wives in the
same territory.
So far ss we are concerned, the gu
preme Court OF Appeals OF Virginia ia
more liable to accord the colored citi-
Gems Of the state his rights than is the
national tribunal, from whose DEGREES
there is no appeal.
B shop H. n, Turner has even mora
reason to be emphatic in his denunciE-
lions OF such manifestation OF favor
itism as is sEoHn by the batch of opin.
ions just handed down Each conelu-
sion was reache d by majority of one
and the most caustic criticisms of each
is contained in the minority opinions
Of the dissenting judges who refused
to be swept of their feet by saIs
sweeping tide OF new fouad imp srial-
ism.
We are drifting rapidly to that Pc
riod when it will be a reprosch to be
regarded as q member of the United
States Supreme Court.

EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS-
maySe Deemed Necessary by the Pres
ident and His Advisers


ident and His Advisers.
Cedar Rapids, Ia. Nav % The
president and the members Of the cab
met spent much of the time yesterday
reading and discussing the published
reports of the opinions of the supreme
court in the insular cases. They were
much interested in the way the court
divided in the two cases. The decision
In the De Lima case If followed in the
philippines case, as it is assumed IT
VIII be, might result in the calling of
an extra session of congress.
Such decision would mean not ONLY
the refunding of duties heretofore col.
lected, but would open the ports of the
United States to merchandise and
goods of every description from the
Philippines until con yress meets in De
cember II is obvious that importers
might take advantage of this to shin
goods into the United States through
the Philippines and thus defraud the
government of it's revenues Whether
the danger from this source is great
enough to warrant the calling of con.
gress in extra session will be decided
only after full deliberation.
IL Is possible, however, that this dan.
ger may have been already obviated
In the enactment of the Spooner reso-
luton delegating temporarily to the
president the power to govern the Phil.
ippines. This may be considered an
act of congress within the meaning of
the Downes decision affirming the con.

SOUTHERN VETERANS
Reunion in Memphis of Men WIZ
Wore the GRAY.
BISHOP eAILoR's FoRcEFuLPLEA

An Earnest Argument In Favor Of Edu
eating the Children Of the South 70
Clearly Comprehend the Sacrifices
and Patriotism Of Their Fathers.
Memphis. Tenn. May 29.-Twenty
three hundred and FIVE members of the
United Confederate Veterans, surviv
ors OF the great armies that battled for
the cause of the south during the war
or secession, and representing 1881
camps of the organization. met in Con.
federate Hall yesterday for their 18th
annual reunion. Several delegations
arrived too late to participate In the
opening session of the convention, but
1t is expected that there will be fully
$500 old soldiers in attendance.
Although the convention in point OF
oratory. enthusiasm and all other re-
spects was a most brilliant success.
| the weather put damper on the one
feature of the reunion which Memphis
had arranged with especial care and
pride. This was the great floral pa.
rade. which. owing to the threatening
clouds and muddy streets IN the out.
skirts of the city. was postponed. as
was the exhibition of the fireworks on
the Mississippi river
Before the meeting of the conven
ton in the Confederate Hall the La
dies Memorial association sfgnalized
the first day of the reunion by holding
In Calvary church a memorial meet
inc fnr L.
comprised the rendering of several
hymns and a memorial address By
Bishop Thomas G.. Gailor.
Bishop Gailor. who is a forceful and
pleasing speaker, took exceptions to
the term rebellion" as applied to the
war between the states, and spoke
earnestly in favor of educating the chill
dren of the south so that they would
clearly comprehend the sacrifices and
patriotism of their fathers. He made
strong plea for that Justice to the
motives actuating the south during the
war. which he asserted had been de
MED to them by certain historians. The
children OF the south. he declared
must never be made to believe that
their fathers had done anything but
what they believed in their Utmost
hearts to be right. He closed with an
eloquent tribute to the patience and
heroism shown by the women of thu
south. which fully equalled. he said
the gallantry revealed by the men
upon the battlefield.
During Bishop Gailor's address Gen
Joseph Wheeler quietly entered tn,
hall. and was loudly cheered While
Gems. Wheeler and Gordon stood han,
In hand on the platform the cheering
became intense. Gen. Wheeler express
ed his thanks.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee then delivered 2
short speech and was followed by Sen
ator Bate, OF Tennessee.
The great Convention Hall was the
center of an enormous crowd for near
ly two hours before the hour set for the
commencement of the exercises. The
interior OF the hall was a thing OF
beauty, the excellent work OF the dec
orators being shown in all it's merit
The exercises were almost entirely
confined to the welcoming addresses
the completion of permanent organiza
ton and the appointment OF the com
mittees on resolutions and credentials
