Federal Judge issued writ of habeas corpus
The Governor defed il, and said the powers OF
the Judge were not general but limited merely
to cases under the two laws specifically eX-
tended. The Judge appealed TO Washington
but the Governor was sustained by President
Cabinet and Congress. and it was decided that
only such laws and rights as were extended by
Congress went TO Florida and that the habeas
corpus was not among them.
General Harrison makes a great point of
possible law. saying:
There shall be no right in any suit at common
law 10 demand jury.
The Constitution provides that there shall be
such right in Federal courts in the States Tor
all cases involving more than $40. Yet in lSof
Congress passed laws which denied that rlSht
in all cases under 500 in the Territory oil Or
leans and also in the District of Louisiana
1t is not recorded that the validity OF those
acts was questioned.
General Harrison says that for the first ume
Congress has laid tariff duties upon goods pass

REPRESENTATION AND 4PPORTIONMENT

The question of legislative apportonment
which is very much TO the fore in the State
of Connecticut. involves far wider issues than
local ones and indeed some of the fundamental
principles of representative government On
the face of il, ii is question whether a little
town shall continue 10 have as large a repre-
sentatiOn in the Legislature large town. Al
the present time town with. say, two hundred
voters sends two Representatives TO the Legis-
lature, and a town with twenty thousand voters
sends only two. Many men of both political
parties regard this as an unjust system, and
desire such revision Of the Constitution as will
make representation propOrtionatc, more
nearly proportiOnate 10 population. Naturally
the people Of the large towns desire such a
change while those of the small towns do not.
There is a good deal TO be said on each side of
the question. There are examples favOring the
present system 10 be found in both greater and
less estates The United States Senate affords
one Connecticut sends TO it two Senators, and
New-YOrk, with its vastly greater population
sends only two Again. there is the example of
the individual citizen. The poorest man in the
State has one vote, and the multimonaire
has no more. The underlying principle upon
which these things are justified is. of course
that of the political unit In the Federal Gov
ernment each State is an integral unit, the peer
is given TO all in the Senate. Again, generally
speaking, in a republic the individual citizen is
the unit, and the rule is established of zone
man, one vote"
Ii is for each State to determine whether or
not it will recognize any unit other than that of
the individual citizen. Some do and some do
not. New-York, for example. does not but
bases representation in both branches of its
Legislature upon population, with the sole pro-
viso that each county save one shall have at
least one Assemblyman. New-Jersey on the
other hand, recognizes dual system OF units
The citizen is the unit in the apportionment of
| Assemblymen. which is done according TO popu-
lation; but in the Senate the county is the unit
| each county having one and no more whether il
be Essex, with its populOus cities. or Cape Nav.

DANGERS TO LLRERTT.

EN-I'resdent Harrison in his recent address
outlined the form Of a terrible bill which, he
says, might be passed by Congress l. TIC Ad-
ministration view of the relation or the newly
acquired islands TO the Constitution is correct
He drafts il on the assumption that the Admins
1ration holds that no law relating to the terri
tories can be declared by the Supreme Court
TO be imperative, even though every section
~of il should contravene provision Of the Con
"siitution." That does not happen TO be in the
least the position of the defenders of the Gov
ernment's action in Porto Rico and the Philip
pines. They admit that there are many things
which Congress cannot do and the Supreme
Court conld set aside if il did. They claim that
The Federal Government possessing in the ter
Titories, the Court has declared il to do. the
power of a general and Of a State government
can there exercise the same plenary authority
as local government which State might ex-
crcise within its own limits Most of the terrible
laws which General Harrison outlines he him
self frankly admits would never by any poss-
bility he enacted. Some Of them are forbidden
by the general spirit Of our institutions. which.
Justice Bradley has declared. controls all
actions Of our Government. and this would be
enforced 10y the courts regardless of specific pro-
visions. Thus with General Harrison's imagined
law:
No inhabitant Of Porto Rico shall keep or bear
arms.
The Supreme Court has decided that ..the
fright 10 bear arms is not a right granted by
'rhe Constitution. neither is it in any manner
dependent upon that instrument for its ex-
"istence." Again some things are forbidden both
10 the States and the Federal Government,
such as the passage of ex post facto laws or the
grant Of titles of nobility and nobody pretends
that such sections are not meant to be absolute

GINA AND TIE HAGUE TREATY.

Surprise has been expressed. and with some
reason that no formal attempt has been made
to bring the controversy between China and the
Powers before tribunal of arbitration. in ac-
cordance with the Treaty Of The Hague. There
was recently much talk about thus settling the
quarrel between Great Britain and the Beers;
but that as we have hitherto pointed out, was
futile if for no other reason than that the
Transvaal was not party to the treaty nor
was il represented in the congress at The
Hague China however was represented in the
congress and her representative signed the
treaty. and she is therefore entitled to the
benefits of that instrument.
The explanation of the failure to invoke
mediation or arbitration seems to lie in the fact
that the treaty is neither automatic nor manda-
tory 1t is optional on the part Of all nations
whether or not they will avail themselves of
or submit 10 the provisions of the treaty. If
nation wants to get relief through mediation or
arbitration il must ask for it, The treaty VIII
not give it without the asking And 1t rests
with the other party TO the dispute 10 determine
whether or not it will accept the mediation or
arbitration. The treaty does not compel it TO
accept il against its will.
In the present case neither China nor any of
the Powers has invoked the operation of the
treaty Of The Hague. Why they have not done
so Is lnatlef lot CONJECTURE InOuBn II VIII not De
difficult for most observers to form opinions
concerning it. Even at this late date any Power
might move for such action. And any other
Power might decline to be a party TO it, OF
course, if the concert of the Powers" did not
as a whole move for accept appeal TO the
treaty. any individual Power doing its
own account would thus be Withdrawing itself
from the concert, which might or might not be
an advantage to il. If one Power for example,
settled its part of the controversy by Hague
arbitration, that would not prevent the others
from going on to settle their parts of it by force
otherwise, while it would debar that Power
from claiming any part in whatever settlement
those others might effect Such considerations
probably play their part in restraining the
Powers from seeking TO apply the principles of
the treaty to the case. As for China we need
scarcely ask why she does not seek the good
offices of a court from which she would prob
ably be excluded by the refusal of her antagO-
nists to enter il with her. and which, if she did
enter it, she would certainly find predispOsed
aiDst har
