The present basis OF membership Is
one Representative for every town or
city ward having 900 inhabitants by the
last census, whether taken by the United
States or by the State, and one addi-
tional Representative for each 1900
other inhabitants.
The amendment to be voted on to-
morrow proposes that a town or ward
must have 800 instead Of 900 inhabitants
to be entitled to Representative, and
l,600 instead Of 1900 other inhabitants
for each additional member.
The other proposed amendments to
the New Hampshire Constitution in
clude a qualified educational test for
suffrage, an examination OF volunteers
for service in the State militia, the
substitution Of the word evangelical
for Christian in the bill Of rights, the
division Of towns and wards into polling
precincts, the extension of the suffrage
to women, the inclusion Of the office
Of Commissary- General among those
elected by the Legislature, and the en-
largement of the powers OF minor courts
in the trial Of ordinary criminal cases.

tutional Convention assembled in Con-

the voters Of the unterrifod Democracy.
Some wicked wag had suggested that
BUCK should wear q civil costume
like wAsHINGToN's. After studying the
Stuart portrait, the Minister decided not
to follow tho suggestion. He was not
present at the opening OF Parliament, as
he would not have been admitted with
out court costume. When he did APP
pear in plain evening dress in the diplo-
matte box OF the House Of Lords, he
looked unpleasantly conscious OF his
singularity,' IL the Times was not mis-
taken. There was some boorish talk In
both countries about the matter. Finally
BUCHANAN, a born compromiser, yielded
little and won much. i appeared at
the Queens levee,' he wrote MARCY,
in the very dress which you have often
seen me wear at the Presidents levee,
with the exception OF a very plain
black-handled and black-hilted dress
sword His reception was satisfactory.
In this amusing despatch, really d.
rected to the Democratic party and its
convention Of 1885, Mr.. BUCHANAN said
that he had never felt prouder. as
citizen OF his country, than when he
stood amidst the brilliant circle OF for
eign Ministers in the simple dress OF
an American citizen" Still, he was glad
he had the sword As he explained to
his niece, it served to distinguish him
from the upper court servants.
For the sake OF this distinction IL no
other, the glad clothes Of American
Ministers need to be somewhat different
from those they wear at home. 1t
seems to us that court function is much
like fancy dress ball, where the host
insists that each guest wear a fancy
costume. You should play the game
according to the rules or stay out OF it.
The dignity Of an American Minister is
not increased Sy rsahihs him look hhe
a two-spot among the court cards.

A Curious andwich

The elasticity of legislation is illus
trated by this extract consisting Of three
consecutive sections OF to Act TO regu-
late the immigration Of aliens into the
United States:
SECTION 1.-That for the purposes OF this act
the words United states as used In the title a.
well as In the various sections OF this act shall be
construed TO mean the United states and any
waters. territory or other place subject 10 the
jurisdiction thereof.
SECTION A.-That no Intoxicating liquors
shall be sold within the limits OF the Capitol build
Ing OF the United States.
SEcrIoN ss,-That the deportation OF aliens
arrested within the Uni,of States after entry and
found TO be illegally therein provided for In this
act, shall be to the Iansatlantc or transpaclnc
ports from which said aliens embarked for the
United States: or. II such embarksuon was from
foreign contiguous territory, to the foreign port
a. which said aliens embarked for such territory"
Thus the exclusion OF the rum devil
from both ends of the Capitol was pro-
claimed in the middle Of q statute de-
voted otherwise to the restriction Of
foreign immigration.
1t will be observed, however, that al
though the act imposes effective penal
ties for violation of its provisions in the
case Of excluded aliens, it neglects to
specify the punishment Of the excluded
rum devil IL he defies Section "a.

NEW AND OLD TACTICS.
Tried In tho Recent French Man9ures
and the Old Win. 80


In a pamphlet entitled tho Tactical
Consequences OF the Progress In Arma-
ments' Gen. Langlois, member Of the
French War Council and Of the Ecole Sa :
periesre de Guerre, scouts the idea that the
Boer war showed the necessity OF a oom-
plete transformation OF existing tactics.
He asserts that nothing Is changed in the
principles upon which modern warfare
rests, and that the Boer war. far from
proving that everything In military schools
Is turned topsy -turvy, only contributed
TO the strength OF the general rule that q
purely defensive opposition can never
Lead to final victory. Gen. LAnglois in
sists that movement like that OF Austen
lite or Of Saint Privat 10 bound In the future
TO give the victory to the commander who
will know how to utilize tue value OF the
offensive, aided, a 1t must be, by modern
rifles and artillery.
Here tho critics differ, and tho only shade
Of proof 90 far contributed by either side
was given during the recent French man0u-
yres. Two armies. equal In number, tried
a mighty sham battle on grounds selected
to the east Of Troyes, between the Seine
and the Aube. One Amy adopted the So
called new tsctics introduced by the Beers.
and the other put into practice the principles
that come from the study Of historical
facts, and at the same time introduced
10 their application the notifications which
seem to result from the qualities Of modern
armament. There was no Emperor there
to whom the victory should be given, no
matter who In reality won the game. 1t
was a test OF tactics. The troops repre-
senting the Beers were kept busy on their
tanks until the moment came for the re-
serves to rush In and pour In tremendous
FIRE. The effect was q surprise. The Beers
we're enveloped, and, after the most liberal
calculation OF the imaginary losses OF the
attacking forces, the referees al oeme
TO the conclusion that the so-called modern
tactics were worthless. The victory re-
manned with the attacking army. beyond
the possibility OF dispute.

william Howard Taft.

The magnitude OF the work OF ad-
ministration committed to the Civii
Governor Of the Philippine Islands is
only partially indicated by the financial
aspect Of the same. The figures show
ing the swift growth Of the resources
and expenditures Of our insular Govern
ment during the past four years have
lust been printed at Washington. They
merit careful study. The fiscal year
first recorded here covers about ten
months of the twelve:
Revenues. Expenditures
Fiscal year 1909. ...........s S,5os.eS2 Oso'oo'
Fiscal year 1900. ......... o.7o3527 fTseas
Fiscal year 1901 .io,6sG.i3' o'zso''oi
Fiscal year 1907 .......l2,o<s.s 35 ioLs~e
The revenues of the Philippine Gov
eminent, therefore, already exceed those
of the United States Government in
1914. when JAMES MADISON was Presi-
dent for the second time. The expen-
ditures already surpass those OF the
United States, excluding debt interest,
In any year up TO the second war with
England.
Striking as is this comparison, it gives
but a faint idea of the responsibility
now resting upon the Civil Governor and
his administration. He has 10 deal at
first hand, officially and personally, with
q problem which, as Senator FAIRBANKS
said at Camden night before last, taxes
humanity and craftsmanship to the
utmost He is working out the future
of the Filipinos; and on his success or
failure now depend not only the future
OF many millions Of people for many
years to come, but also the honor and
glory of the republic which has under
taken the tremendous task.
II is probably true TO say that nowhere
on earth is there a man, crowned or un-
crowned, carrying a heavier burden
of direct and personal care than is now
sustained by Governor TAFT. Fort
innate it is for the Filipinos and fortunate
1t is for this nation that the formative
period of American control finds at
Manila such representative OF all that
u best in the American type. His ad-
ministrative genius, his tact, his energy,
his adequacy to any situation that may
arise, are recognized in the islands
as here at home. But to these qualities
