A Flag for Legislative Piracy.
ON the Philadalnhia Press


No more monstrous or dangerous doc
trine has been proclaimed in the recent
history of the state than the assumption
Of Governor Pennypacker and Attorney
General Carson, that the governor can
not go behind the legislative certificate
even when he knows there has been
legislative fraud. This astonishing deciara-
ton has been a great public shock, as well
it may be. So far as we know. not single
voice has been lifted from the Delaware
to the Ohio in support or in approval Of
the governors position in this respect.
There have been those who have sus-
tanned him in signing the libel bill. But
we do not know of any man except the
attorney general who has been willing
to hazard his reputation for sense or san
ity by undertaking to justify and sanction
the governors contention that when leg
islative crime or violation of the Constitu-
ton has been officially certified the gov
ernor Is bound to accept 1t.

FRIGHTENING PROSPECT.
Treaty Negotiations Proceeding With
the Chinese Commissioners

Treaty negotiations between the United
States and Chinese commissioners are again
moving forward steadily, and the prospect
is Frightening for a successful issue. Prac-
tically only two points of Importance
main to be agreed upon. but one of these
is the provision for the opening of three
new ports in Manchuria, and that has been
the most serious obstacle to the consumma-
ton of the treaty. Itsis believed here that
there will be a compromise on that point,
and the United States will secure one in
stead of three ports, the choice falling on
Tatung Kou, at the mouth of the Yalu
river.
