There are many transactions reported

The larger percentage Of Inquiries are for
homes within the city limits. The busi-

active market in business property.

In the suburban market there is good

opinion that the subdivision business was

4 German who desired to hoist the
German flag at half mast over the New
York CITY Hall in honor of Carl Schurz
discovered that there is very salutary
law prohibiting the hoisting of any for
eign flags over the public buildings of
New York 1t would be very funny
conglomeration if every race or nation
aIity should insist on hoisting it's flag in
New York City. The Jews, who are so
numerous and influential, could lead off
by having the ancient banners of Zion
kissing the breeze from every part of
the city. There was no earthly reason
why the German flag should be hoisted
in honor of Schurz. He was a fugitive
from the country with price upon his
head; he formally and with the great
est emphasis abjured all connection with
Germany. and became as much a citizen
of this country as if born here. He was
a constant seeker for honors, position
and emoluments from this country, and
remarkably successful in his quest

FOR Ex-PRIsoNERs OF WAR.

The following is the text of the bill
introduced by Representative E. l.
Hamilton, of Michigan, for the benefit
of eX-prisoners of war:
A BILL granting pensions to soldiers,
sailors and marines confined in Con-
federate prisons.
Whereas many officers, soldiers, sail
ors and marines of the Federal army
and navy were confined in so-called
Confederate prisons for great length
of time, suffering indescribable hard
ships, contracting incurable diseases and
disabilities difficult to prove under exist
ing pension laws, also losing opportuni-
ties for promotion in the service: There
fore, for the purpose of doing justice to
these surviving veterans of the war of
the rebellion,
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States
of America in Congress assembled, That
the Secretary of the Interior be, and he
is hereby, authorized and directed to
place on the pension roll the names of
all officers, soldiers, sailors and marines
now surviving who, while in the service
of the United States and in line of duty,
were taken prisoners of war, and as
such confined in So-called Confederate
prisons between the 1st day of May,
1861, and the 1St day of May, 1866, and
pay to each the sum of $50 for each
month during the remainder of his nat
ural life: Provided, That each pension
shall in each case begin from the date
of the passage of this act, and be paid
at the same time and in the same man.
ner as other pensions are paid: Pro-
vided further. That this act shall not
entitle any person to draw more than
one pension, but that such surviving
prisoners of war as are entitled to and
receiving pension at the time of the
passage of this act shall be entitled to
the increase of their pension which this
act may grant them: And provided fur
ther, That this act shall not be so con-
strued as to reduce any pension under
any act, public or private.
The National tribune., 1906-05-24
HOPE FOR ruE: VETERAN COLONIES.

Secretary Taft has made a crafty
ing announcement to the effect that
the policy adopted by the War Depart
ment two years ago of not promoting
ColoneIs who had a civil-war record to
Brigadier-Generals will be abrogated.
Experience has demonstrated that this
policy was unwise. The mere fact that
rebellion is not prima-facie evidence
of his disability or inefficiency for ac-
tive service. The policy was adopted
because of the complaint of those in
the lower grades that there was too
much dead wood at the top; that pro-
motion was unjustifiably slow. and that
the Army was suffering in its activity
and discipline. 1t was thought that
the act allowing officers to retire on
their application would eliminate many
of the higher officers, whom it was
thought had passed their day of use
fulness. 1t did not have this effect
and there was no squirt in the retire
ments, as the Secretary had antici-
pated.
This decision of the Secretary is Of
much interest at this moment, when
there are two Brigadfer-Generals to
appoint this month, and the Colonies
on the active list who have heretofore
been shut out from hope of promotion
will now take part again. The follow
ing are the Colonels yet on the active
list who saw service during the rebel

. general concession that Congress

general coHcesSiOu tndS SVh6hS
had that power.
2. Whether Congress could delegate
that power to another body. 1t was
claimed that the fixing Of rates was
legislative function which Congress
could not delegate. Then the question
came up as to whether the proposed
increase of the Commissions power
was in effect a delegation Of legislative
authority, and much of the time was
consumed in the discussion of the
phraseology employed. The final result
was the elimination of the words ''in its
Judgment" which were held by many
Senators to be fatal 30 the bill. This
is as strongly denied by quite able law
yers, and it is possible that in confer
ence the words will be restored.
Senator Dolliver will be the Senate
conferee, and he believes that the words
should be in the bill.
From what Speaker Cannon and Col
Hepburn have said in recent interviews
it is likely that the House will accept
the bill as it came from the Senate and
pass it without material alteration ex-
cept in the words quoted.
All interest now centers on what view
the Supreme Court shall take of the
bill, and the previous decisions and ut
terances of that august tribunal have
been very closely scanned for light.
1t would be profitless TO go into an
extended analysis and discussion of the
bill until the Supreme Court has de-
cided upon it and it has been put TO
the test of practical operation. TIL ouSh
it has received q study such as was
never bestowed upon any other meas
ure in our legislative history, there Is
the widest divergence of opinion as to
how it will work out. and no one can
tell what it will do until the test of
everyday working has been made. Con-
gress has so far done eminently right
in passing bill according to its best
lights, and, as Senator Bailey says, its
defects and deficiencies can be readily
remedied at any future session of Con-
gress after experience has taught what
they may be.

declared elected. Comrade Cole was
presented to the Denver Encampment
by Iowa as its candidate for Chaplain

ceive the election.
At the same time notices were sent
out to the National Council of Admin

| spOnded in favor of the Commander-in-
Chief issuing badges to all nurses who

ANOTHER FIGHT ON HAND.

The action of the Senate Committee
on Inter-Oceanic Canals in favor of a
sea-level canal Is another gauntlet
thrown down to the President, and
which he cannot fail to take up. He
has unequivocally declared for lock
canal, brushing aside the report of the
Consulting Engineers as based upon an
imperfect study of the actual condi-
tions and actuated by theories, if no
worse motives. He is not likely to treat
the seven members of the Committee
with much more respect, since they
have added no argument to that of the
Engineers nor stated any new fact OF
importance. They have treated the vital
elements of increased cost and longer
time of construction with even less re-
spect than did the Engineers. This SIM
ply means that the majority of the Com
mittee can get their faces in shape to
take dose of the same corrective med
icine administered to the opponents of
the Hepburn bill.

THE STATEHOOD BILL.

The Statehood situation in the Con-
ference Committee of the two Houses
of Congress appearing to be hopeless,
something has to be done at once. Sem
ator Beveridge, whose plan for joint
Statehood was so signally defeated in
the Senate. has had numerous cOnsulta-
tions with the President on the matter,
and told the President that other meth
ods than those now under consideration
would have to be adopted if Oklahoma
and Indian Territory are to come in as
State.
1t was suggested that the Statehood
clause for the Southern Territories
might be placed as rider on the ap-
preparation bill, and the President has
accepted this alternative. There is no
doubt that he is not satisfied with the
half loaf, but will take it. 1t is under
stood that Arizona and New Mexico are
not to be mentioned in the rider.
