4 POLITICAL QUESTION.

Fx-Secretary Carlisle yesterday before the
supreme Court declared that be would not dis
cuss the question of policy involved in our IN
sular legislation The points at issue he held
were purely legal, and in line with that view he
proceeded 10 argue after the fashion which
many years ago called forth the expression
from Chief Justice Marshall recently quoted in
the court:
Powerful and ingenious minds. taking as
postulates that the powers expressly granted TO
fbe Government of the Union are to be con-
+rscted bv construction into the narrowest pos
sible compass, and that the original powers OF
sFe States are retained If any possible construc-
fion will retain them, may, by q course Of well
digested but refined and metaphysical reason
ing founded on these premises explain away
the Constitution of our country, ana leave II a
totally unfit for use
Doubtless the opponents Of the Administra-
ton would be glad to convince the Justices that
they were bound TO shut their eyes to every
thing but a rule of thumb application of former
decisions concerning territories, upholding the
Government when ruling them in substantially
the same way that States are ruled, as in gen
eral il has been possible to do. The matter at
issue before the Supreme Court is not, however,
merely a legal question. II is mainly political
question. Nobody pretends that our relations to
Cuba are anything but political. Congress has
itself defines. In the Philippines and Porto
Rico also it exercises authority under a treaty
which distinctly avoids Incorporating them into
the United States. In the case of the Philip
pines the Senate. coincident with the ratification
of the treaty. passed the McEnery resolution
saying: "It is not intended to incorporate the
inhabitants Of the Philippine Islands into citi-
'zenship of the United States, nor is il intended
ito permanently annex said islands as an inte
"gral part Of the territory Of the United States
Even assuming that the Supreme Court would
declare the Constitution 10 be the organic law
Of territory made by treaty an integral part OF
the United States-a course we do not think
compelled on legal grounds-is il now to be con
tended that that Court is charged with the duty
of going beyond the action of the political
authorities and bringing into the United States
by judicial decision territories which tn,
powers solely charged with the function o.
admission have refused 10 admit?
If that is its duty it is difficult TO see why 4

THE GRIP IN THE HOSPITALS.

The Hospital Saturday and Sunday Associa-
ton makes special appeal to the public for
prompt and generous contributions to the thirty
nine hospitals united in that association, be-
cause of the prevalence of grip. Those benef-

chased five thousand acres of land in Pike County
Penn. They intend to make it one of the finest
game preserves in the world. The land already

tract Of two thousand is being inclosed with
a wire fence, ten feet in height, Another track
will be for wild boars Nine of these have been
imported but lightning and the ocean voyage
killed seven of them. More will be imported how
evec and the sport Of the Fatherland will be in
stituted regardless of cost Hares and other small
game will be added, and the stock viii be re-
plenished by inportations from Germany and other
countries Fish. such pike. pickerel and trout

Frank James formerly a bandit and train
robber is boldly seeking election as doorkeeper
of the lower house of the Missouri Legislature
It is generally acknowledged that a peculiar
sort of nerve, or set of nerves, is required for
railroad 'holdups," and James does not appear
to have lost the courage which he displayed in
his earlier years. But If the Missouri statesmen
submit to being held up by him like carload OF
timid passengers they will cut sorry figure.

Facts and figures and details from over
sea show that French railroad is now running
the fastest daily express in the world, and that
the laures of the Flying Dutchman, the Flying
Scotchman. the Irish Mail. and the swiftest of
American trains are now withered. Can it be
that our Yankee ambition for the International
championship with space devouring engines
will permit our Gallo friends to retain the blue
ribbon? Perish the thought! We build the
finest locomotives and we ought to defy COM
petition in the speed of our expresses.

There's a good old chidrens game in which

There IS a growing tendency on the part of
