should not also go on TO say that Congress may
not control Cuba at arms length, and that in
assuming as against the rest of the world the
obligations of a ruler under International law
our Government did unwittingly incorporate the
islands into our own country. Certainly the
Philippines held at hands length are no more
anomalous than Cuba held at arms length. To
Cuba the treaty making power extended our
authority, mistakenly said by Mr.. Carlsle's
associates TO carry the Constitution with it lin
the whole sphere of its activity" with one sort
Of qualification, and TO the Philippines with an
other. If the qualifications can be negatived
judicially and meaning read into the treaty
which it was never meant to contain the Court
and not the Congress becomes the agent for the
determination of our boundaries.
The Court is indeed the final tribunal to pass
upon the acts of the other branches of the
Government and say if they have been legally
taken within the sphere of each But within
IFS sphere each branch is absolute in its dis
cretion. The subject now before the Court is
not one TO be settled purely on legal grounds.
The treaty is indeed TO be construed. The laws
passed or the Executive steps taken to carry it
into effect are 10 be passed upon. But back of
this legal question and larger than it, is the
question of policy and intent of the political
powers whose province is the development of
-NdliOIdl IlOilCa, lne uellllllldIlO0 OF NauOual
boundaries and the exercise beyond those limits
of such authority they may lawfully acquire,
whether it be eXtra-territOral Jurisdiction in the
consular courts of the East something more
than protectorate over Cuba, sovereignty as
long as they please and no longer over guano
islands 'appertaining TO the United States' or
the complete ownership of coaling stations and
larger territories regarded by Congress as un-
suited TO form an integral part of the Union.
And this question of suitability is purely
political question. If under any circumstances
the Court would be justified in counting the pos
sibilities of its decision and saying that neces-
sty and National safety forbade imposition on
Congress of the rule Mr. Carlisle seeks to en-
force it is now justified in dismissing the status
OF the new acquisitions as something beyond its
concern; for the Congress is alone the judge of
the seriousness of the emergency that prompts
1t TO a course which under any conceivable cir
cumstances of public danger the Court would
allow ii 10 take.

hVes VIII always stand high on that roll of
honor In the quality of persistence their cour-
age has perhaps seldom been rivaled and never
surpassed. In spite of repeated failures to
reach the ship and of increasing difficulties and
dangers, they refused TO believe that the last
possibility of effecting a rescue had been ex-
hausted and their whole duty done They had
already made six attempts to carry to the
Russie line that would hold, and more than
once had been thrown into the sea and swept

at daybreak they found the conditions more
favorable, though doubtless they would have
kept on trying in any case, and at last their de-
votion was rewarded. They saved everybody,
and no one was even seriously injured.
1t is no wonder that cescuers and rescued
were greeted with "delirious enthusiasm" as
the boats successfully came back in safety from
their desperate mission. The French are an
emotional people. but under such circumstances

TIE IRISH LAND SCHEME.

The Irish land question is to the fore again
1t was made evident by the recent Nationalist
Convention that the Home Rulers were prepar-
ing to make the coming session of Parliament
largely an Irish session" They will do so
most effectively, no doubt, by raising agraran
issues But that will not be the only trouble
the Government will have upon its hands.
Agraran agitation will also be essayed within
the ranks Of its own nominal supporters. Irish
Unionists will be troublesome as Irish Sep
aratists. That. at any rate, is what seems to
be threatened by so prominent Unionist as
Mr. T. W. Russell, the Member for South Ty-
rome. He has an Irish land scheme, which he
has been popularity preaching and which he
will doubtless endeavOr 10 force into attention
at St Stephens, which Is calculated to make
orthodox Conservative statesmen wonder
whether they are in New-Zealand or Utopia.
Mr.. Russells scheme is briefly but accurately
described as one of compulsory purchase and
sale. 1t does not appear that tenants are to be
compelled to purchase whether they want to or
not. But landlords TO be compelled to SELL
whether they want TO or not. Recognizing the
fact that many tenants wished to buy and
many landlords wished or were willing to SELL
the Government long ago provided large fund.-
which is by no means yet exhausted, to be
loaned to the tenants at easy rates TO facilitate
such transfers. But that is not enough, in Mr.
Russels view. He would have the Govern
ment fix prices at which landlords must SELL
regardless of their wishes In the matter. The
sum of S5OO,000,000 is to be appropriated by
the Imperial Exchequer for the purpose-a fine
proposal, in the face of the South African war
bills! This il Is 10 loan TO the tenants without
interest, H. indeed, it is to get all of the prin
cipal back. BY such means 1t Is hoped the an
tagonism between landlord and tenant will be
counterac acted, and peace and prosperity will be
restored TO the most distressful country"
1t is difficult TO believe that such scheme is
seriously meant, and yet that is the conclusion
we are forced TO accept. There can be little
doubt that it involves an attack upon the rights
of property which amounts to little short of
confiscation. The right Of a government to
condemn, at a judicially assessed valuation,
private property for public uses is we'll estab-
lished and is perfectly defensible. But to con-
denim one mans property for another mans use
is a far different thing There is a pretence
that it is justified by the example of the Land
Court, which judicially fixed rates OF rental
That pretence will not, however, stand exam
inatiOn. for there is a radical difference be-
tween rental and sale, and great and obvious
difference between saying that if man wishes
TO rent his land he must do so at certain rate
and that he must sell it at a certain rate
whether he wants to sell il or not. 1t seems
unfortunate that, even with the best of motives
such a worse than socialistic scheme should be
r,it forward in a land which has suffered al
ready too much from fads

challenge contradiction of the statement, that
the United States has from the beginning been
of all Powers most free from such influences.
In not one single instance has the United States
sought territorial spoliation of China. In not
one single instance has ii sought selfish ex-
plotation or exclusive privileges. The keynotes
of it's policy have ever been to maintain the
integrity of the Chinese Empire and to open
and keep open its commercial doors to all the
world on equal terms In some respects some
details of its policy may have been open to
criticism but most assuredly not on the ground
that it was unduly seeking the exploitation or
the spoliation of China.
There is a certain touch Of grim satire upon
these anti-transfer reasons in the suggestion
that the negotiations be removed from Peking
to Shanghai. The latter place is, of course. so
conspicuousy free from intrigues and rivalries
and sinister and selfish influences. and so re-
nowned as the centre and source Of impeccable
veracity, Nevertheless. whether the place be
PeFing or Shanghai or the most remote lama
serai of Lassa if the other Powers can stand
it we suppose the United States can.

NO CITY PLANT ADVISABLE.

The suggestion has been made that the city
should take upon itself the laying of its own
asphalt pavements and should set up a plant
for the manufacture of the material required.
This plan will not commend itself to the ap-
proval of those familiar with the extravaganza
and waste with which public enterprises of
that kind are almost always conducted in
American cities For long time Philadelphia
owned its gas works, but the business was de-
pIorably mismanaged Until we get here mu-
nicpal government honest, clean and efficient,
it would be unwise for the city to take up any
enterprises now let out by contract after due
notice and proper advertising for bids.
1t is generally believed. however that some
of the strongest of the asphalt companies act
together in driving hard bargains with the rep
resentatives of the taxpayers. Millions of
dollars Of public funds have been spent upon
asphalt pavements within greater New York
since this sort of paving was first introduced,
and millions more will be paid out within a
few more years. The appropriations already
authorized for repaving many streets in the
several boroughs in 1901 are generous, and it
is certain that the contractors will make great
deal of money this season. The policy of laying
down asphalt in place of Belgian blocks and
cobblestones has taken strong hold upon our
local administrators. and is likely to be kept
up. The number of miles of roadway which
should be asphalted is very large. In many
streets In Brooklyn rough cobblestone pave
ments remain as relics from a ruder era. AS
rapidly as the municipal treasury can afford the
outlay the thoroughfares in every borough
should be put in decent condition.
But the users of our streets have good ground
for complaint against some Of the methods Of
the asphalt companies. 1t is frequently charged
against them that they are not thorough and
careful enough in laying the pavements in the
first place and are too dilatory and negligent in
making needed repairs afterward. OF course,
the city government has the power under the
law to compel them to do good work, but too
many of the pavement inspectors are incompe-
tent or worse. Comparison with the prices paid
by other cities shows that NewYork is forced to
compensate the companies at rates which are
amply sufficient to yield exceedingly liberal
