Legislative Graft General?
Manchester, N. H., News.l

Elk Representative Gethro of Massachu-
sets attempted partly to excuse himself by
pleading that there were others in the legis-
lature as bad as he, from whom he had
learned his evil way Following his illus
trious example, the Springfield News says:
Massachusetts is not alone in her shame.
In Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Con-
necticut and Rhode Island, there are many
barns and cottages that have been shingled
with the proceeds of dishonest compacts in
the different state houses and in years past
legislators have even been known to boast
that they did not serve in the legislature for
nothing All of which may be true. yet
neither Massachusetts nor Gethro can be ex-
onerated on this plea.

Reciprocity
DATE FIXED

A decision adverse 20 a claim Of bene-
NJ from Cuban reciprocity set up by
the American Sugar Refining Company
was rendered BY the United States su-
preme Court on May IS. 1906.
The question In the case was whether
certain sugars which were imported
between the 18th of June and the 2sth
OF September. 1903, were chargeable
with full duties under the tariff act of
July q. 1897, or were entitled to 20 per
cent reduction OF duties prescribed by
that act, under the treaty between the
United States and Cuba OF the date
December II. 1902. and an act OF Con-
gress OF December IL, 1908. The an
swer to the question depended upon
when the treaty went into effect.
whether upon the 10th OF April 1903
or the 27th Of December. 1903 The
American Sugar Refining Company
contended for the former and the Unit
ed States for the latter date.
Duties were assessed under the act
of 1897 without reduction. Protests
were filed and an appeal taken tc the
Board OF United States General APP
praisers, who sustained the collector.
The decision of the Board was reversed
by the Circuit Court. An appeal was
then taken to the Federal Supreme
Court, which. in an opinion delivered
by Justice McKenna, reversed the
judgment of the Circuit Court and re-
manded the case with directions to af-
firm the order OF the Board of General
Appraisers.
Following is the law of the case as
contained i'm the syllabus of opinion:
THE treaty with Cuba. reducing the
duties on merchandise imported from
that country, did not take effect April
10. 1908, ten days after the exchange of
ratlfications, nor on December II. 1903.
when approved by act of Congress, but
on December %. 1903. the date pro-
claimed by the Presidents of the Unit
ed States and Cuba.
There is a presumption against re-
Prospective legislation, and words in a
statute ought not to have such opera
ton unless they are so clear, strong
and imperative that no other meaning
can be annexed to them, or unless the
intention Of the Legislature can not be
otherwise satisfied"

tlOns presented Dy DOth countries IN re-
gard to emigration. The Philippines
are not Japan-at least not yet, and
please God they never will be. The
population of Japan is six or seven
times greater than that of the Philip
pines, and this and other circumstances
useless to set down here explain why,
in spite of the fact that agricultural
and industrial development is far more
advanced in Japan than in this coun-
try, it proved an easy task to promote
in the former an emigratory movement
toward Honolulu or toward any other
place. But here everything yet remains
to be done; over an immense stretch of
territory, as great as that of Japan, if
not greater, there are spread, and very
unequally at that, some seven millions
