AUTHORITY OF CONGRESS.
Former Speaker Grow UphoIds
Presidents Philippine Views.

After the transaction of routine husi-
ness yesterday morning Representative
GaIusha a. Grow secured the floor and
addressed the House upon that part OF
the Presidents message relating to the
Philippines. He had requested to be
heard Immediately after the message was
read, and, by agreement. was given the
floor yesterday morning
He defended the present Philippine pol
icy and argued that the Constitution did
not extend beyond the limits of the
States.
The time has come for additional leg
isiation for the Philippines" said the
venerable Pennsylvanian, who then pro-
ceeded to review, in brief. the manner
by which the Philippine Islands came into
the possession of the United States. In
view OF the insurrection. he said, there
was nothing to do but to maintain our
authority by military force.
THE question now arises. what is TO
be done: what can we do2" he said. What
IS the authority of Congress-
Continuing. he proceeded to argue that
Congress had full. unrestricted, and dis
cretionary power over all territory ac-
quired. For more than one hundred years
Congress has been providing government
for the Territories or possessions of the
Uaited States.
The Constitution was not made for the
Territories. he said. 1t was made for the
States, and is only applied to Territories
as they are admitted into the Union.
The House listened rather ljstlessly to
the remarks of the former Speaker, and
the galleries gave him but little heed.

An EducntionnI cnrltaL

A man who viii. after scores of
munificent gifts. set aside ten millions
of dollars for the cause Of education,
deserves more than monument If
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie's plan is realized
Washington will become more than
ever an educational centre.
Hundreds of men and women whose
short purses preclude a journey
through the higher walks of scien-
tific research win he able to cultivate
their abilities. MIR. Carnegie's treas
ury win provide the necessary funds,
and doubtless Uncle Sam viii do all
in his power TO open TO the earnest
investigator the departments and in
stitutions in Washington where much
is to be learned.
This is an era for great educa-
tional enterprises. and il is gratifying
that MIR. Carnegie has determined TO
put the Capital of his country in the
van. His superb library was step in
that direction, and his university
movement, so called for want of
better term, is longer stride.
1t appears that the benefcent iron
master believes that the true regen-
Grafton of American mankind is to be
accomplished by awakening the best
instincts of the people through the
magic of education. knowledge IS
not only power, but in many cases 1t
is salvation.

Artillery Mounted Where Infantry
Were stationed Previously.

The military authorities at Manila have
begun the installation Of artillery forti-
fcaticns for the city. Artillery is being
placed about the city. where previously
only infantry detachnents have formed
the protection.
Two Gstling guns have been placed at

Southern Luzon, and gunboat has been
stationed at the same place This is at
Paco. only mile from Santa Ana. which
has always been a hotbed of insurrection
and was thu scene of the first outbreak Of
the natives against the Americans.
Fort Santiago is also to be improved
and additional Gatling guns have been
placed on the ramparts. They command
a full sweep of Gale Principe and the
river front a Gatling has also been
mounted on the Buffalo. General Chaffee's
launch.
improvements OF the city Notifications
are being planned. and the engineers are
drawing plans for a complete system OF
defence for Manila.

THE PHILIPPINE TARIFF BILL.
Provisions of the Payn< Measure OF.
fcrrd In the uouSe

The Payne Philippine tarin bill over
which there has been considerable discus
sion among the Republican members Of
she Ways and Means COMMITTEES. was in
trodueed in the House yesterday.
II enacts the Philippine COMMISSIONS
tarih for the islands and applies the Ding
ley rates against articles imported into
this country from the islands the same as
from foreign countries Il also hxes the
same tonnage taxes as now collected. and
It provides that until The 1st day OF Jan
uary. 1865 the provisions Of Law restrict
ing to vessels Of the United states the
transportation Of passengers and mer-
chandtse directly or indirectly from one
part OF the United States to another part
OF the United States shall not BE- ap-
plicable to foreign vessels engaging in
trade between the Philippine archipelago
and the United States
Goods subject TO the internal revenue
tax in the United States may be sent in
bend to the Philippines subject only to
the payment OF the import tax and not
the Internal revenue tax.
The revenues derived both from goods
imported from the Philippines and i'm
ported into the islands are to go into the
insuiar treasury instead OF the United
States Treasury.
II is probable that the bill will be re-
ported 70 the House on Friday

school Reform in Chicago.

A superintendent of schools N Chi
capo whose intellect is evidently one
of a highly superior order makes a
vigorous attack upon the time-hon-
ored assertion that three from eleven
leaves eight, which he regards as both
bad arithmetic and bad grammar. "ln
order to have been able" he says. "to
take the three from the eleven, you
must have had separate group Of
eleven from the vicinity of which you
could remove the three-in fact. you
must have had fourteen in order 70 be
able TO take three from eleven"
This beautifully refined piece of
logic reminds MS of the old problem
about certain improved make of
stove Buy one of the new stoves, we
were told, and save half the fuel; but
why not multiply by two-buy two
stoves and save ali the fuel? There
is. Of course, a perfect technical eX-
PLANTATION of the falsity of this pre-
tended syllogism; but if asked to re
flute it. it is much easier and Just as
effective to reply: TRY it aud see"
Likewise, when n quibbling pre-
cisian finds fault with a universally
accepted form Of thought, he is best
answered by an appeal to the first
principles of common sense. Give
this Chicago reformer eleven apples,
lake away three, and ask him what
three from eleven leaves. II he at
tempts 20 deny that it is eight he de
serves the good, old-fashioned penalty
Of the birch.

CIVIL SERVICE AMENDMENTS.
President Approves Changes Recon-
mended by Commission.

The President yesterday approved
amendments to Civil Service Rules II.
VIII. and Y.
These rules were recommended by the
Civil Service Commission some weeks ago.
and before receiving the approval of the
President were submitted to the Attorney
General for his opinion as to their pro-
priety in point of law. Briefly stated.
these amendments require:
Rule IT-That Government officers and
employees shall give sworn testimony be-
fore the commission when required to do
so in connection with its Investigations
Rule VIII. section 1s-That where an
appointing officer declines to make regu-
lar appointment from a register contain
ing less than three names and insists
upon making a temporary appointment,
the temporary appointment shall be made
from such register.
Rule VIII. section 16-That whenever the
commission shall find that any person is
holding position in the civil service in
violation OF the civil service act and rules
IL snail. after notice to the person affect
ed, certify to the head of the proper de-
partment information Of the violation:
and If such person be not then dismissed
within thirty days the commission shall
give notice Of the facts to the proper dis
bursting and auditing officers, who shall
not then permit to be paid to such person
any salary or wages accruing after the
receipt OF such notice; provided that any
question OF law which may be thus raised
respecting the power to appoint or en-
ploy may be submitted by the President
or head Of department to the Attorney
General for opinion
Rule X. section 2. is amended by insert
ing therein after the wor1s upon requi-
sition and consent OF the proper officers
and the certificate of the commission the
following words: But no person shall be
transferred who has not actually served
for six months in the Office in which he
became classified and in some position
therein which at the time of the request
for his transfer is within the competitive
classified service"

TO LIMIT CHINESE EXCLUSION.
LcRisIntion to Run Only to Expirn-
tion OF Present Treaty.

Those Senators and Representatives who
are especially interested in legislation
providing for the extension of the Chi
| acse exclusion act haze come 90 the con
clusion that the eircumsta tances OF the
situation require that no extension beyond
period of two years should be enacted
at present.
The reason for this is that following the
enactment Of the Geary exclusion law a
treaty between the United States and China
was negotiated to continue ten years.
That treaty embodies the provisions OF
the Geary exclusion law. and it is thought
that it would be unwise as we'll as pos
sibly discourteous to the Chinese Gov
ernment 10 pass an exclusion law to be
binding beyond the life Of the treaty.
Congress has the power. of course. 10
rass law covering an indefinite period.
but an agreement has been reached that
VIII limit the operation OF whatever law
is passed to the date when the treaty ex-
pires. This would be only fair to China.
and Congress can then pass an exclusion
act TO remain in force as long as 1t is
deemed advisable.
Senator Lodge and others who have al
ready introduced Hills on this subject will
amend them In accordance with this un-
derstanding

s29g. .633.92, leaving a balance of $780,,
1883. The appropriations made by the
commission, but undrawn. amounted to
S1.3S7. .s55.66. and the outstanding liabill-
ties amounted to s100033.35 leaving an
available balance OF S5.3i2, ,279.52.
The budget for the last quarter of the
year, which has now been made by the
commission. amounts to $3.50, 1882.

insular officers of the islands. The heav-
lest appropriation for any one purpose
is that of SiS1 ,6i2.13 for public instruc-
tion.

Mr. Mncr,tcr,s Crusnde.

If Mr.. Wachter, the Maryland Rep
rcsentatire, could have his way, the
cadets of West Point and Annapolis
would never again daily with the pig
skin. Gridiron challenges from Yale,
Harvard, and other universities would
be consigned to the waste paper bas-
lzet. Pads and nose guards, shin and
head guards would be laid away. And
gloom would settle down on the
sporting spirit of the institutions
where we are making admirals and
generals.
Mr.. Wachter is afraid that the ca
diets will get hurt if they play foot
ball. To be consistent, he must inirD-
duce bills for the abolition of all mo-
ner of games and practices necessitat-
rng physical activity. There is an ele-
ment of danger even in walking
when ice is on the ground. Necks and
limbs have been broken in gymna-
eiums. The misdirected golf bali has
claimed its victims. The baseball dia-
memd has had its casualties.
Mr.. Wachter is very much like a
great many other people who do not
understand football He has made up
his mind that it is the quintessence of
brutality. And yet, if he will seek the
statistics. he will find that, in proper
ton to the great army of young men
who play each season, the number OF
injured is almost infinitesimal. He
will also discover that most of the bad
accidents of the gridiron-and they
are accidents-befall those who have
,lot been properly trained for rig
orous sport.
The football field is no place for an
invalid. But for the virile, muscu-
lar man the game is superb and a
splendid training, for it brings out
the genius physical and the genius
strategic of the player.
Mr.. Wachter fears that the game
may injure the cadets, incapacitating
them for future careers in the field or
ON the man-o'-war. Mr.. Wachter
might find it interesting to enquire
how many of the splendid leaders now
in the service played football either
when they were at Annapolis or West
Point or when they were students in
one Of the great universities.

Senator Martin yesterday introduced a
bill providing for a memorial bridge

Mr. Mason introduced a resolution ask
ing that the Committee on Postofilces
and Postroads be authorized to begin
an investigation into the subject Of rural
free delivery and second class mail mat
ter The resolution went over under the

at Il 45.
After discussing number OF nomina-
tions the Hay Pauncefote Canal Treaty
was taken up. Senator Lodge made the
first speech upon it. explaining its pro-
visions and urging its prompt ratification.
Because of the fact that ii was desired
TO hold a meeting Of the Senate Comnit-
tee on Committees yesterday afternoon
further consideration of the matter was
postponed. and the executive session ad-
journed at 1;55.
So far there has been no Indication Of
any prolonged resistance to the new

TARIFF RULING QUESTIONED.
Treasury Appeals Frorl Decision OF

The Government, through the Treasury
Department. has appealed from the de-

against the decision of the collector OF
customs at Boston. whose decision was

was in 4 comfortable frame of mind as
he sat reading last evening in the lobby
OF the Arlington. because OF the assur-
ance he has had of his early reappoint-

at Chicago. Speaking Of the Senatorial
struggle in Illinois, Mr. Nixon did not in
dicate any preference as to candidates.
THE election is a long time or he
said, "and number of gentlemen who
are now passive may conclude to press

Illinois has any number OF able states

Pointer for Hu.ipc.. Men,

ST. Louis st-Dispatch-Many business
men imagine theyare thinking OF their af-
fairs when, in fact. they are only worry
ing. Worry is fear with a minimum of
thought. and fear is not only an unfaith-
full emotion. but most destructive OF ef-
fective thought, OF course. 1t needs no
wisdom to teach that worry does no good
That is generally recognized and accepted
as an undeniable truth. That It does posi-
tive harm is just as true, though not all

Committeeman HubbcII's views.

Albuquerque ought. by right Of size,
wealth. and business importance, to be
the Capital of New Mexico" said Mr..
Frank HubbeIl. a wealthy ranchman and
Republican Of that Territory, at the
Shoreham.
But 1t would be cruel to Santa Fe,
perhaps. to remove from thai ancient town
the seat of legislation, while Albuquer-
que, with its more progressive spirit, Is
constantly forging 10 the front, and will
maintain its supremacy as the leading
city OF what we hope to call the State
OF New Mexico at an early day"
Mr.. Hubbell, who is a member of the
Republican national committee, is here
on affairs of interest to his countTymen.
and is especially favorable to the re-
appointment Of Judge William J. Mills
TO the chief justiceship OF the Supreme
Court of the Territory. 1t was reported
that Mr. HubbelI was backing the appli-
cation of ex-Sheriff Garrett for the office
OF collector at El TEso. when in fact he
is committed to another applicant.
