ImperlaIlsm AuaIn Sustained.

Justice Holmes has taken the place
of Justice Gray, and yet the Supreme
court still holds by majority of one
that the constitution does not follow
the flag. The recent case arose In
Hawaii, where, before those islands
had become a territory, Japanese
resident, Osald Mankichi, was con-
victed of manslaughter under the old
Hawaiian law. He was not indicted
by grand jury at all, and majority
vote of the trial jury convicted him.
He appealed for American rights and
American methods, and his case was
at length argued In the Supreme court,
and by majority of one that court
held he had no American rights, al
though the American flag floated over
him.
Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Har-
Ian, in the course of dissenting opin-
ions, do not hesitate to denounce the
action of the majority of one, and they
declare that the constitution of the
United States is paramount wherever
the flag floats. Can 1t be-" said JUS
tlce Harlan, that the constitution is
the supreme law in the states of~the
union and in the organized territories
OF the United States between the At
lantic and Pacific oceans, and yet was
not the supreme law on territories and
among peoples situated like the terri
tory and people of Hawaii, and over
which the United States acquired all
rights and sovereignty of whatsoever
kind?"t
The outcome of sucn anticonstitu-
ton decisions is thus foreseen in JUS
tice Harlan's opinion. ut would
mean" he says, that the will of con-
gress, not the constitution, was the SUI
preme law On the land for certain peo-
pies and territories under our jurisdic-
ton. 1t would mean that If this peo-
pie do not retrace their steps, IL the
principles now announced should be-
come firmly established, the time may
no. be far distant when under the ex-
actions OF trade and commerce, and to
crafty an ampltion to become the
greatest political power in all the
earth, the United States will acquire
territories in every direction which are
Inhabited by human beings, over which
territories, to be called dependencies
we will exercise absolute dominion and
whose inhabitants will BIO regarded as
subjects to be controlled as congress
NAV see fit, not as the constitution re-
quires, nor as the people governed may
wish"
Chief Justice Fuller and Justices
Aarian, Peciham and Brewer held
that the constitution does follow the
nag, and two or them are republicans.
Justices Brown, Shiras, McKenna,
White and Holmes took the imperial
list view of the case, and Justice White
was appointed by President Cleveland.

though he has never shown 1t in any
of his decisions. He accepts DEEPEN

ZIONIST could do, although he must
know that such political contrivances
are more in unison with the Russian
system OF government than they are
with the constitution of the United
States.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

Necessity Is the mother OF invention
and the grandmother of damnation.

Or. Hills Deplores Lack of Students,

New York Letter In the Chicago Tribune
Preaching in Plymouth church recently
on The New Outlook for the Church
and the Place OF the Pulpit In Life and
Thought" the Rev. DIR. Newell Dwight
Hills deplored the tendency of the young
men of today to avoid entering the min
istry as their life work, choosing instead
the professions of law. medicine, the arts
and, most of all. commerce. Wealth Dr.
Hills said, was the goal of all young men
nowadays DIR. Hills cited the significant
fact that Plymouth church, which has
had the distinguished leadership of the
great preachers, has scarcely sent a
man into the ministry In twenty-five
years, and he called 1t a shame upon the
men and women of the congregation
who have reared sons to keep them out
of the ministry.

RECEIPTS.

The cutting off of internal revenue
taxes is reducing the receipts from
that source, but the heavy importa-
lions of merchandise goes far to make
this loss good and what the customs
receipts cannot do the miscellaneous
receipts are well nigh equal to. Be-
tween them receipts are held up
nearly to last years record, and if
expenditures had not been largely in
creased the surplus would have been
twice as much.
Imports are large, but exports are
still larger We sent out goods In
March to the value of $132, 900 900, CIR
100000 more tnan we imported,
and $25,O00,000 more than we exported
in March, 1902. The May figures are
not at hand, but it is known that they
will be nearly, if not quite, as large as
those of March. The years record
promises to be exceptionally good
perhaps the best in the present series
of prosperous years.
The government is steadily substi-
tuting per cents for bonds bearing
3 or 4 per cent interest. In May such
changes aggregated $A6,000,000. The
circulation is s72,0vv,O0O greater than
it was one year ago, and altogether
there is nothing in the treasury state.

WATERS VICTORY MAY

Chicago Hotel Men Will Warn Gus
toners Against Practice.

CHICAGO. May S0.-Oficers of the
Walters Union are confronted by an un-
expected move on the part of the res
taurant men and hotel keepers.
Yesterday, word was passed around
among the employees that q successful
strike by the walters, resulting in in
creased wages, would be met by a de,
termined effort to prevent the giving OF
tips or fees. Nothing is said about these
fees in the list of demands made by The
union men. In amount they ara known
to equal the wages of the men in many
cases. and in the better class OF hotels
and restaurants they sometimes more
than double the actual wages.
The bills of fare will bear warnings
that every waiter accepting a fee will
be dismissed forthwith. Head walters
will be instructed to dismiss every walt
er seen accepting money In excess OF
his check or bill. In most cases the er-
feet Will be to cut the receipts OF the
walters in two, in spite of the increase
of wages under the new scale.

GENERAL MILES NOT
TREATED FAIRLY
Significant Editorial in "ATmy and
Navy Register"

Commenting on the forthcoming retire
4Iei.s Ga Lieutenant General Miles, the
Army and Navy Register" this morn
ing states, without reserve, that he has
been treated unfairly by the War De-
partment. The editorial says:
Although it is nearly three months
before the event of the retirement of
the Commanding General Of the Army
occurs. the greatest interest is manifest
ed in the final general order which will
be issued as the farewell address of
Lieutenant General Miles to his asso-
ciates in the military service. General
Miles Will follow the custom of his pred
ecessors in issuing such an order. and
there must naturally be the keenest
curiosity regarding the form his parting
message will take The well-known con-
ditions which have practically ostra-
cised in an official way, the headquar-
ters of the army, suggest the possibility
of some very pointed comment on a Sit
uation which must have been vexatious
for General Miles, who has been its prin-
cipal victim.
1T will be with a sense of relief
doubtless, as much for him as anyone
else, that this strained relationship
&C mes to an end He has a right to a
grievance in many respects. He has not
been treated fairly. Whatever has been
done by him, officially, likely to en-
gage public criticism and possihls ridi-
crle, has been thoroughly advertised By
those who seemed anxious to subject
him TO a harsh view of the people.
Probably the fault has not been finally
on one side only. but in any case it has
been an extraordinary occasion which
fl DIS the titular commanding general OF
tEc army without authority and bereit OF
any power or influence. even as a most
casual counselor. These conditions make
very interesting anything which NAV
come from General Miles on the eve Of
his retirement.

NEW TRANSFER SYSTEM
FOR STREET RAILWAYS
Change Goes Into Effect on the
First of Month.

The Metropolitan Street Railway Com
pany will issue a new form of TRANS
fer on all their lines and branch lines
will differ from the old in two essential
points.
In the first place, there will be two
detachable coupons, one at each end
OF the transfer. They are stamped with
the numbers Of the hours and the five
divisions OF each line. The coupon at
tached to the right Of the transfer
proper Will be black with white letter
ing, and the coupon TO the left, white
with black lettering.
If conductor issues transfer in the
time from II midnight until u noon, he
will detach the dark coupon and punch
the light. From Il noon till midnight,
the method is reversed.
The other feature in which the new
form of transfer will differ from the
old is a Est of the months When the
conductor starts out in the morning he
Will punch number OF transfers June.
September. or December, as the case
MAJ be.
Another new rule which Will go into
effect on Monday is that compelling all
conductors TO carry books containing
the fare regulations and rules of the
company governing the distribution of
transfers 1t is thought that by refer
ence to these books, regularly furnished
by the company, all questions raised by
passenger or conductor can be settled
Immediately.
A fare viii be collected on the Fifth
Street shuttle line and transfers regu-
la-ly issued TO connecting lines on and
after June /. Hitherto this line has
been free.
Two new transfers have been an
nounced by the company. from Maryland
line. westbound, 10 Columbia line. east.
and from the Columbia line. west bound
TO Maryland line. north.
