~ T will be - years on the tenth
day of next month since the Unit
ed Confederate Veterans associa-
ton was organized at New Or
leans for the avowed purpose of
uniting in a general federation
all associations of Confederate veter-
ans, soldiers and sailors, now in exist
ence or hereafter to be formed" The
success of this organization attests the
intense interest in the object for which
it was formed, for it already comprises
1900 camps, with about $4,000 members.
It's commander is General John b. Cor
don of Georgia; adjutant general and
chief of staff, Major General George
Norman of Louisiana.
While the permanent headquarters of
this association is at New Orleans, re-
union is held annually at some other
point in the south for the purpose Of
promoting the social, literary, historical
and benevolent projects which 1T aims
to carry forward for the benefit of it's
members. Last year the reunion took
place at Louisville, KY, from May 80 to
June 2, inclusive This year it is to be
at the interesting city of Memphis
where preparations have been going on
for months for adequately entertaining
the prospective guests, which, it is esti-
mated, will exceed a hundred thousand

power was not hampered by the constitu-
tional provisions.
In the last paragraph of his opinion, be-
fore announcing the courts opinion, Jus
tice Brown said:
Patriotic and intelligent men may diff
fer widely as to the desirableness of this
or that acquisition, but this is solely a
political question. We can only consider
this aspect Of the case, so far as to say
that no construction of the Constitution
should be adopted which would prevent
Congress from considering each case upon
it's merits, unless the language of the
instrument imperatively demands it. A
false step at this time might be fatal
TO the development Of what Chief Justice
Marshall called the American Empire.
Choice in some cases, the natural gravi-
tation Of small bodies toward large ones
in others, the result of a successful war
in still others, may bring about conditions
which would render the annexation of
distant possessions desirable. If those
possessions are inhabited by alien races,
differing from US in religion, customs,
laws methods of taxation and modes of
thought. the administration of govern
ment and justice according to Anglo-SaXon
principles, may for a time be impossi-
BILE; and the question at once arises
whether large concessions ought not to
be made for a time, that, ultimately, our
own theories may be carried out, and the
blessings of a free government under the
constitution extended to them. We de-
cline to hold that there is anything in
the Constitution to forbid such action.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1901-05-28

ted by selfish interests it would receive
quick rebuke al the hands of the peo-
pie. Indeed, it is scarcely possible that
Congress could do a greater injustice to
these islands than would be involved in
holding that it could not impose upon
the States taxes and excuses without ex-
tending the same taxes TO them. Such
requirement would bring them at once
within cur internal revenue system, in
Guiding stamps, licenses, excuses and all
the paraphernalia of that system and
applying it to territories which have had
no experience of this kind, and where it
would prove an intolerable burden"
Commenting upon the virtual absence
Of provision in the Constitution for the
acquisition of territory Justice Brown
says it can only be accounted for on
the ground that the trainers of that in
strument did not foresee the country's
future possibilities in that respect.
If" he says, 1T be once considered
that we are at liberty to acquire foreign
territory. a presumption arises that our
power with respect to such territories is
the same power which other nations have
been accustomed to exercise with respect
to territories acquired by them. If, in
limiting the power which Congress was
to exercise within the United States it
was also intended to limit it with regard
to such territories as the people of the
United States should thereafter acquire,
such limitations should have been ex-
pressed. Instead of that, we find the
constitution speaking only to States, ex-
cept in teh territorial clause, which is
absolute in its terms, and suggestive Of no
limitations upon the power of Congress
in dealing with them. The States could
only delegate to Congress such powers as
thew themselves possessed, and as they
had no power to acquire new territory
they had none to delegate in that connec-
ton. The logical inference from this is
that if Congress had poewr to acquire
new territory, which is conceded, that

of life, shall became at once citizens of
the United States. In all it's treaties
hitherto the treaty making power has
made special provision for this subject
Grave apprehensions of danger are
felt by many eminent men-a fear lest an
unrestrained possession of power on the
part of Congress may lead to unjust
oppressive legislation, in which the natu-
raj rights of territories, or their inhabi-
tants may be engulfed in a centralized
despotism. These fears, however, find no
justification in the action of Congress in
the past century, nor in the conduct of
the British parliament toward it's out
laying possessions, since the American
revolution"
Further along, Justice Brown remarked:
Whatever may be finally decided by
the American people as to the status
of these islands and their inhabitants
whether they shall be introduced into
the sisterhood of States, or be permitted
to for mindependent governments-it does
not follow that in the meantime, await
ing that decision, the people are in the
matter of personal rights unprotected by
the provisions of our Constitution, and
subject to merely arbitrary control Of
congress. Even IL IeSdIueu as dilSho,
they are entitled under the principles of
the Constitution TO be protected in life,
liberty and property
Large powers must necessarily be en-
trusted to Congress in dealing with these
problems, and we are bound to assume
that they will be iudiciously exercised.
That these powers may be abused is pos
sible. But the same may be said of it's
powers under the Constitution as well
as outside OF it. Human wisdom has
never devised form of government so
perfect that it may not be perverted to
bad purposes. It is never conclusive to
argue against the possession of certain
powers from possible abuses of them. 1t
is safe to say that if Congress should
venture upon legislation manifestly dicta-

counter and a policeman was called.
Officer Smith was sent and when he at
