THE FLAG COVERING SLAVERY
President Mckinley Takes No steps
20 Libcrnte His Island
Subjects.

When once men have been enslaved,
how difficult il is to reinstill them
with the love of freedom. The Eng
lish foreign Office reports concerning
the working of the DEGREES freeing
the slaves of Zanzibar and Pemba.
Fewer slaves appeared for freedom in
1900 than in 1899, because. the Brit
ish commissioner AYERS, most of the
slaves know that they are not likely
to gain much present advantage. see
ing that those who were thrown on
their own resources have "A difficult
time 10 make a living.
The masters have been kinder since
the slave legislation was enacted, and
seek TO make their service more at
tractive.
Perhaps this is the reason that
President Mckinley has not taken
steps TO free the slaves in our Islands
of the sea. but then our flag floats
over republican institutions-or has
until the new imperial policy was in
augursted- and Britain is an empire.
Surely we should not be behind the
English in at least attempting to
free our slaves. especially as the con-
stitution commands it.

DECISION OF SUPREME corrRT.
IL In Complete straddIe from the
View of the Ordinary
Layman

To iayman the decision of the
supreme court in the Porto p;can
eases is rather wobby and presents
some rather curious anomalies The
constitution does follow the fac and
then again il does not stay win il.
The island il territory of the Lifted
States, and yet the people there have
no free trade with the country 10
which they belong. Then again they
decide that vessels trading with the
island are i'm the coaStwise trad. of
the United States, and yet when they
ship any goods by these coastwise
vessels they cannot land them in any
of our ports without paving n tariff
duty on the same. Yet the goods they
shipped here prior TO the PASSAGE of
the Foraker act should not have maid
duty. and il must be refunded TO
those who paid it.
There is only one clear matter
about the decisions-that CONGRESS
has the sole right 10 legislate as IL
pleases for these territories. Other
wise, if President Mckinley had him
self written the decisions they could
not have been a more complete strad-
die. from the view of an ordinary Law
man. No doubt the lawyers will I'M
derstand the exact status in time.
That the court itself was not very
clear about some OF the points at
issue can be seen by the remarks Of
one of the Justices. who taunts his
brother Judges with reversing Them
selves on one of the nine eases. Jus

PRESIDENTS SOVEREIGNTY.

GardinE the philippines since
the supreme Court Decision.

The supreme court decision on the
Porto Rico eases made consilera BILE
flutter on the presidents train. ac-
cording 10 the correspondent of the
Washington Post, who accompanied
the party on the trip. He forecasts
the action of the administra' ion to
meet the new conditions in the Phil
ippines brought about by the decision
as follows:
The president will probably issue
an order applying solely 10 the Phil
ippines. imposing upon goods export
ed from these islands to the United
States a rate of duty equal TO the
tariff imposed by the Dingley law
upon the same articles entering the

tain to be sustained by rho supreme
court if IA test case should b. brought
before that tribunal for deoision.'
Some consideration was given to
the question whether the president
act to impose duty in this country
upon articles imported from the Phil
ippineS. The general opinion was
that grave doubt existed as 10 Sheth-
er he possessed the power. and it
seemed 10 be accepted that the ex-
port duty plan offered the most FEAST
bic solution. The Importance Of
speedy action was emphasized. in
view of the fact that ii the matter
is lefs unsettled until congress meets
next December there Will be very
large importstions from the Philip
pines without the payment of duty.
In addition To this. it was realized
that the exporters of Chinese tea,

their goods to the Philippines. pay
ing the slight duty eXacted there. and
then have them forwarded TO the
United States. where they would be
entered without additional cost. Jap
anese and oriental goods of all de-
scriptiOns could also enter the Unit
ed States by the roundabout but eco
nomical route.
From this il will be seen that the
triumph of Imperialism also has its
trHls and fluctuations, and the end
is not yet.
