DFUOCB4CY AND THE PHILIPPINES.

! ~
The anti-expansionists who are looking hope
fully to the Democratic party for aid IN cam
paicn TO secure a promise of independence for
the Philippines should look to the Illinois Demo
cratic platform and take warning. They have
haen comforting themselves with the resolution
lifted from the Kansas City platform by the
Indiana Democrats in favor of an immediate
declaration of the nations purpose to assist the
Fiiipinos 10 establish an Independent govern
ment They will be sadly disappointed to see
that an equally important body reaffirms an
other part Of the Kansas City platform, quite
inconsistent with the part approved by the
Hoosiers. and declares:
We are opposed to the British system Of col
onization. by means of which powerful seIhsh
interests are ena bled to employ the resources u
the people TO enslave inferior races and TO Ell
rich themselves. We are in favor Of true amer
lean expansion, such as under Democratic cor
troll has been achieved in the past ana tH
means of which vast territories have been dedl-
Gated forever TO equality and freedom we,
therefore denounce the measures adopted oy
the Republicans for the government OF tls
philippines as monopolistic and autocratlc ana
dangerous to liberty at home as well as liberty
abroad
If that means anything it means that the Hi
nois Democrats are utterly opposed to Philip
pine independence The anti-imperialists nave
lately been getting reconciled to the Supreme
Court 1nSuar decisions anu lHt INVphpiiNHh
legislation which opened the door to them. see
ing in the power of the United States TO hold
the colonies and not bring them under the con
stftution the opportunity TO set up in the Philip
pines a separate government which could on
proving its stability receive independence. The
Democrats of Illinois, however. sharply antago-
nize that policy denounce the Republican meas
ures which alone make it possible, and declare
for true American expansion" by which they
understand incorporation of the territory in
question into the United States as an integral
mart thereof subject to the constitution, and
on the road to Statehood, with its inhabitants as
much citizens of the United States as those of
New-York. They are expansionists, but not
even temporary imperiaists- The New-Eng-
land and New York anti-imperialists are anti
expansionists and, in spite of the seeming para
dox imperialists, in that they want the Philip
pines TO be imperaly administered temporarily
as step toward getting rid of them altogether.
In the Kansas City platform the Democratic
party blunderingly or dishonesty declared for
both OF these opposite policies. Now Demo
CT at~ in the various States taking their
choice between them. The result cannot be
specially gratifying to those who seek basis of
union in opposition to the Republican Philip
pine policy. 1t is clear enough that the Demo
Gratis are "agin' something. but it is doubtful If
they themselves know what they are "agin.'

expressed the opinion that though treaty were
the law of the land. Congress might repeal IL
so far as it was a municipal law proVlolHe 'io
subject matter We're within the legislative po"ei
of Congress. In 1883 the Supreme Court
through Mr.. Justice Field (Whitney sgf. ROBERT
son. held that a general tariff act passed sub
sequent to a reciprocity treaty with the Dornlh'-
can Republic was controlling and said;
II the treaty contains sipulations which are
self-executing-that is. require no legislation TO
make them operetive--to that extent they haVe
the force and effect Of legislative enactment
Congress- may modify such provisions. SO far as
they bind the United States, or supefseae 'iae rem
treaty. relate to the same subject the courts
will always endeavor TO construe them SO as
out violating the language of either but II me tns
two are inconsistent the last one in GATE WIN
control the other. provided always the supuia-
tion of the treaty is self-executfng'
These opinions show that the courts will not
intervene to give an importer the beneft OF d
reciprocity treaty inconsistent with the law
If it is to be enforced under such circum-
stances, it must be by Presidential initiative
in ignoring conflicting statutes. How far the
executive department would be excused lor
assuming that reciprocity treaty was SELF
executing and so putting it in force regard
less of inconsistent tariff laws, is perhaps
an open question. Certainly, however. 1t has
never acted on that theory. It has always
sought legislation by Congress to carry out reel
procity agreements The treaty made with
Great Britain in 1871 contained such an agree
ment The stipulations on other matters went
into Immediate effect but the lower duties were
not imposed until July 1, 1873, after Congress
had modified the tariff law in conformity with
the treaty. With precedents some Of them al
n1ost \ century old for considering treaties mod
flying the revenue laws as among those not SELL
executing, but made operative by legislation ana
subject to modification abrogation by Con-
gress, it is possible that the courts would, on Pc
tition Of importers injured, enjom the eXecu-
ton of such treaties not in harmony Win
statute law Even if they did not, but held the
question to be purely political, the execution OF
such a treaty by the Executive in disregard or
acts of Congress would be regarded by many as
an assumption of power, doubtful In its constltu-
tfonality and likely to provoke unfortunate frlc-
ton between the coordinate political branches
of the government

railroads is there detailed with such fuiness
clearness and brevity that the matter can be
mastered in fifteen minutes. If the elevated
railway company wants further Information IL
could consult Mr.. Sinclair himself, but that Is
hardly necessary. Having once had Its eyes
opened to the possibilities of reform. the COM
pany could advantageously purchase f1ve hun
dred copies and distribute them among its fire
men and engineers, provided, of course, that 1t
cannot get any anthracite. An executive order
to adopt the policy there described would work
perceptible results within twenty-four hours,
and inside Of week there should be scarcely
a sign of smoke. Mr.. Sinclair shows that by
careful stoking soft coal smoke on locomotives
can be completely, or almost completely. sup
pressed. One great beauty Of this scheme ls
that if could be utilized Immediately. Another
is that FIVE hundred copies Of Mr. Sinclalrs
book would cost less than two hundred oil burn
ers Thirdly, by burning fuel in proper man
ner there is q distinct economy. The Manhat-
tan company would save money. instead OF IN
creasing its outlay. Finally. Dr. Lederle and
Mr. Jerome would be disarmed more enectlVeiy
than by talk about inability to get anthracite
New-York tribune., 1902-06-19
SMOKE FROM THE ELEVATED ROADS.


1t is natural, perhaps. that the Manhattan Ele-
waited Railway Company should adopt defiant
attitude toward Health Commissioner Lederle
But it does not seem to have satisfied that Of
fetal that anthracite is really so hard to obtain
as the company pretends. The course which
he adopts is in the highest degree commend
able. 1t is to be hoped that he will not abandon
it SO long as there is any chance of compelling
q resumption of the use of hard coal. If. how
ever. DR.. Lederle should become convinced of
the honesty of the representations which have
been made by the Manhattan officials on this
point there will still be other resources avail
able. The object which he has in view can be
secured, though in q less satisfactory manner
by different means.
Crude oil, for instance, can be burned without
smoke. No doubt all the oil that the elevated
company would be likely to want in the i'm
mediate future could be obtained on short no
tice. There might be little delay in securing
the necessary burners and equipping the engines
Herewith, but this would not be serious If the
Manhattan company really wanted them they
could find them quickly That corporation can
not be unaware of the extensive use Of oil on
locomotives in the Southwest and on the Pa
cifc Coast at the present time The idea is
something of a novelty in the East but the prac-
teal problems involved have all been solved.
There are dozens of crude oil burners in the
market Moreover, the apparatus is compara-
lively inexpensive.
Another plan which might be resorted to in
the existing emergency is fully described in
little work, Burning Soft Coal Without Smoke
by Angus Sinclair, Editor of Locomotive Engi-
neering." The office of that periodical is less
than FIVE minutes walk from the headquarters
of the elevated railway company, and the hand
book just mentioned can be had for 25 cents.
The Manhattan people would find it one of the
best investments Of capital they ever made.
The success which has attended the attempt to
burn soft coal without much smoke on Western

coyNECTICUTS UNSETTLED QUEST

II merely the figures of Mondays election in
Connecticut at which the proposed constitu-
tion was rejected. were 10 be considered II
would be necessary 10 conclude that the people
felt little interest in its fate, for only about 10
per cent of the registered voters took the
trouble 10 go TO the polls. The result, however,
indicates that if decisive negative had not
been confidently expected the vote would have
been much larger inasmuch as the majority
against the amended instrument was two TO
one-20ST3 to l0333. The truth probably is
that the people had become weary Of the long
debate in convention; yet it does not follow
either that they are ready 10 abandon the con-
.roversy or that the winters work in Hartford
served no useful purpose. The convention has
not been made ridiculous by the popular refusal
10 adopt its recommendations. 1t was an IN
usually intelligent body. it thrashed out the para
mount question of representation in the legis-
lature with care and thoroughness. and IFS edu-
cational value was large. That on the whole
the amendments which if proposed greatly i'm
rroyed the constitution seems TO be generally
conceded and even those who were most griev
ously displeased at its manner of dealing with
the issue which was the chief reason for its ex-
istence cannot deny that an impregnable ma
5ority was less despotic than many OF them had
predicted it would be
II would not be strange if the delegates from
small towns who controlled the convention
should find sooner or later that they were being
accused by their constituents OF lacking fore
sight. Having finally been brought TO consent
that the centres of population should have in
creased representation in the legislature. and
thus having recognized the argument of num-
bers as valid. though within extremely narrow
limits. they would have made no additional sur
render Of principle if they had yielded enough
TO secure the adoption Of the amendments by
the people. Their practical mistake was that.
not looking TO the future, they stopped too soon
when they had once made up their minds 70
move Their scheme provided that towns Of
less than 1000 inhabitants should each have
enc representative; towns Of between 1000 and
$4,000 inhabitants two representatives; towns
OF between $4,000 and 100000 inhabitants three
representatives, and towns of 100000 inhabi-
tants four representatives, with more for
each additional 10000 On that basis town
