needed by corporations was devotion to duty
in the higher sense" both on the part of officers

Emperor Of all the Russias agrees to cede 10 tne
United States all the territory and
dominion now possessed by his said majesty
ION the continent of America"
Moreover there are extensive and valuable
public works on those islands. for which the
United States under the same treaty PAD 10
Spain the sum of S2O,OOO.OOO. Under Senator
Stones resolution, the President is requested
to give that $2O.OOO,OOO worth of property.
with all that has since been added to 1t, as
free gift to some supposititious organization
which is hereafter to be formed. We have
heard now and then of favors and bountles
alleged to have been granted by the govern
ment to individuals or corporations. and we
have heard about the yielding Of public prop
erty for private uses, but this proposal GER
tainly surpasses anything else of the kind on
record
1t may perhaps be conceded that the property
of the United States may be alenated, SOLO,
ceded. given away or otherwise got rid Of
Perhaps the Capitol itself might be sold to an
amusement company for a hippOdrome. But
we must regard it as strange Interpretation
of the Constitution, especially for Strict Con-
structionst to make, to request the PRESIDENT
to do such thing as this, as though it lay
within the power and discretion Of the Chief
Executive to dispose of the nations property.
According to our recollection Of It, the Consti-
tuition provides that 1.-THE Congress shall have
power to dispose of the Territory or
''other Property belonging to the United
States" There should therefore be no craw-
fishing behind requests" of the President. II
The territory won in war and confirmed to us
by diplomacy and the public works purchased
and paid for with many millions of dollars are
all to be given away free gratis, it is for Con-
gress. and Congress alone. to do the deed and
to assume full responsibility for it.

scarcely less depIorable than to have them
