" Washington, IX C, May 31, 1901
Tbe Constitution has stood some
hard knocks in the past Iroin par
tisan decisiims of the U. S. Supreme
Court, and it will stand the extraor
dinary and contradictory - decisions
nandttl down thin week in the in
sular caseo. Although for the time
these decisions give the administra
tion a free hand in currying out its
imperialistic colonial policy, they
will doubtless make enough demo
cratic votes amonif he serious-
minded, who believe Congresd to be
the creature of the Constitution, in
stead of the Constitution being the
football of Congress, as the principal
one of these decisions Dracticallv
holds it to hn, to ehct the next
President. There is not the slight
est doubt that a niHiorily a vast
majority -of the people of thkcouu
try regard the Constitution as the
best protection of their liberties, and
to doubt that they will resent its be-
ing juggled with in order to make it
meet the exigencies of the McKin
ley administration is to doubt their
intelligence. Democrats, of course,
regret that this decision was made,
but they find consolation in the be
lief that it will result in hastening
the return to power of the demo
cratic party, which has ever been
the defender of the.Constitution and
believer in it strict construction.
--.-
Senator Bailey, of Texas, who
has an established reputation as an
able exponent of the Constitution,
said of the insular decision of theU.
S. Supreme Court : "The decision
is certainly bad enough, but it is not
so bad its the administration papers
are claiming. The friend of the
administration are congratulating
themselves much too early if they
think the decision relieves them
from the embarrassment of consti
tutional restriction in dealing with
our new possessions, v They will
find the question of taxation one of
the least among the perplexities of a
colonial policy ; and they can only
carry out their plans for governing
thee islands by setting aside other
and greater constitutional provi
sions. Tbe court is apt to find that
the next case will not furnish it
with a subterfuge like the words
'The United States' to which it can
limit constitutional guarantees. It
will be compelled sooner or later to
meet the proposition as to whether
Congre8 can enact laws for these in
sular possessions which a're con
trary tn tbe express inhibitions of
the Constitution. The decision,
standing by itself, will 1ecome the
source of endless mischief and con- j
fusion. But its harm will not end
there. -Following so closely upon
the decision in the income tax case,
it Will inevitably convince the peo
ple that the Supreme Court . of the
U- S. holds the laws of Congrew
constitutional oi unconstitutional,
according as it deems ttiein wise or i
unwise. - With the wisdom of tbe
law the court properly" has no con
cern and its eoly iirqairy-eghtv UtJ
br Whether tne jaw.ia ot,w.;?owijj-
stitutional. . Fpr . many, yeanytbie
rule was followed by the court, -and
then its decisions wer respectW tf
all men ; but I regret to . that at
this time the conviction; 'U almost
nnireraal in the public inind that
lhe most important decisloni are
political rathet than judicial, p .
Presidential In-onae have been be
lore now constructed of flimsy ma
terial, but nothing was erer flimsier
than the material out of which a
few republicans are trying; to build
a boom for Senator Foraker-r the

ct is constitutional There i one
unaormountable obstacle, to For-
aker's getting the republican nom
ination for President lianna. xian
na want that nomination himself.
but even if he didn't he would not
Uow Foraker to get it. .Although
the exigencies of Ohio poliUce have
made it necessary that tbe two men
should be openly on friendly terms,
it i an open secret . that Henna
tatee Foraker, and the republican
machine will -have lo undergo
radical changes before any man can
get the party nomination for Presi
dent against Hanna'e wiehe. H
may not be able to gee it himself
democrats are afraid to hope that
they will be favored with so much I
good lock bat be will ce able to
defeat any other candidate and
probably to name the man. So tbe
Foraker boom may be recorded as
having died a-borning.

GRAHAM, N. C, THUK8DAY, JUNE 6,
demonstrate how much truth there
is in the claim that republicanism
under the disguise of McLaurnism
is making headway in that State.
The point has been raised, and
many believe it valid, that the pa
per signed by Senators Tillman
and McLaurin and sent to the Gov.
oi S. C. is nothing more than a m:
tice of their intention to resign Sept
15, and that either or both of them
can if they see fit, for any reason, or
for no reason, withdraw therefrom at
any time, before that date and re
main in the Senate. In other
words, that the resignations, so
called, have strings attached to them
which can be pulled without the
hindrance of anybody il either or
both senators desire to do so.
Although the general impression
is that free trade with the Philip
pines until Congress legislates other
wise naturally follows the Porto Rico
tariff decision of the Supreme Court,
Secretary Gage has ordered that
duties under the Dingley tariff Jaw
shall continue to be collected upon
imports from the Philippines.
Gen. Fred Grant seems ambitious
to become the Admiral Sampson of
the army. He reached Washing
ton this week and brought a bit of
news with him in the shape of a
claim for credit for himself tor the
capture of Aguinaldo. - He said :
"It was my troops that" captured
Aguinaldo ; they were under com
mand of Gen. Funslon.".! Surely
oue Sampson should be an ample
sufficiency for both army and navy.

; A very dangerous note which ia
worthless and yet cannot exactly be

from the original plates of the bank,
which went out of existence when
the law taking state bank ' circula
tion was passed years ago., . The
note Is a dangerous one, Chief Wil-
kie says, especially in rural districts.
Many have shown np in New York
and in Michigan, Indiana and Mis

There seems to be an intention on
the part of the influential leaders in
Cuba to nominate Thomas Estrada
Palmer of New York aa the first
President of the republic. Mr.. Pal-
ma is an honest, reputable man of
nnquestioned integrity, hut limited
ability and very little force of char
acter. : The chief reason be is so
popular as a presidential candidate
is said to be that every one of the
politicians down there expect to" be
able to control him when he gets In

The United States is about to send
1,000 school teachers of both sexes

ting gray-haired in 'consequence.
Army transports are not fitted Mp
like passenger steamers and aa each
woman wants an outside cabin on

within a year after reaching Manila
and others wilpiave to be sent to

There, were some prospects at one
time that President Boca of Argen
tine would rUit the United Sutes
ibis summer to attend ' tbe Pan
American "exposition, - and at the
same lime come to Washington.
But since the asaembliitg si the Ar
gentine Congress, "which began its
session a few davs ago the- idea of
the visit has been practically given
op, 'as the President will not leave
daring the meeting of - Congress,
which will last throughout the som

There has been arranged by the
ommiaaion having the matter in
charge a program of competition for
the equestrian statue of Geoerai Jlo

ArtkU who are ctlisena af this coon
try are invited to submit models by

the scale of two inchee to the foot
These must be here between April
1 and May 1, 1902. ' Artists must

Possibly1 it 'couldn't be helped,
but all the same, the reported decis
ion to place Admiral Sampson's bust
on the Santiago medals for the navy
will be hard on Admiral Schley. If
this medal is adopted, it recognizes
8ampon as tbe chief figure in a)
the naval forces in the Atlantic, but
it is only - following precedent, for
the metal granted to the officers and
sailors in the Pacific fleet beam the
bust of Dewey.
The increase in the banking facll
ities of the South is an illustration
of Jhe material development and the
enormous prosperity in that section.
Since the 14th of March, 1900, 133
new banks,' representing a capital of
17,248,000 have been organized un
der the national banking act in
twelve southern states . (excepting
Arkansas and Missouri), and have
deposited $1,834,000 , in ' - United
States bonds to secure circulation.
All the volunteers in the Philip
pines will reach San Francisco in
time to he mustered out of service
prior to July 1 next, when the per
manent forces of tbe army will be
organized on a basis of about 76,-
000 men. Such progress has been
made in the last six weeks, and the
schedules are so arranged that the
last ' transport should reach the
West Coast with ai few'daya to spare
before the end of the fiscal year. '
I The Navy Department has adop
tedhe "balanced turret,' plan for
the new monitors Nevada, Florida,
Wyoming and Arkansas. By this
new system the entire structure, in
cluding the guns, is balanced at the
centre of gravity, instead of the cen
ter of the turret and as a result ' the
weight of the finger is almost ' suffi
cient to swing the guns about on
their track.
The Bride at Laet Bald "Obey." ;
1 In telling about "oome People I
Have I Married,", in the Ladies'
Home Journal for June, the Rev.
P. M. Steele says il Being an Epis
copalian I always -use' the formal
printed service of the Prayer-Book.
In this the greatest sticker is
obey'. One day a couple came to
me, bringing as witnesses the pa
rents of . both bride and groom.
Everything proceeded smoothly to
the point 'low honor and obey
when the bride refused to say the
last. I repeated it and waited.
Again she refused and I shut up the
book. Then there was a scene.
They talked it over, and the more
seriously they argued and discussed
tne . more . stubbornly she refused,
Tbe parents became angry, the
groom excited, and the bride hys
terical. To humor her he joined in
the request to bare me leave H out
But I liked the fellow and decided
that a little sternness ' from . me in
the present might be a favor to him
in tbe future. So I told them I had
no authority to change it and would
not do so. I tried to show the
foolishneee of her objection, but it
was no use. Finally,; I, said to
himi 'Well, this household 'must
have a head ' somewhere. 1 will
leave it out for her if yon . wilt say
it' Then it was his time to refuse,

At Tuesday's session of last week
J of the Cuban constitutional conven
tion Senor , Cualberta Gomez and
Silva withdrew the minority report
of the committee on relations and
substituted for it the majority report
of the committee which was drawn
up before the committee went to
Washington and waa signed by
Senors Cualberto Gomez, Silva and
Viliuandas, but whioh waa never
acted upon by the convention be
cause it was a rejection of the Piatt
amendment, particularly in respect
of the right bf intervention and the
coaling stations. This action of
Senor Gomez is attributed to the bit
ter attack made upon him Monday
by the Radicals for having , accepted
portions of the Piatt amendment.
The Southern Presbyterian Gen
eral assembly in session at Little
Rock, Ark., had a test vote Wed
nesday on the important question of
consenting lo th consolidation of
the Northern and 8outhem Presby
terian Theological ' Beminariea . in
Kentucky Nearly the entire day
day was devoted to discussing the
matter. Late in the afternoon Dr.
Winn, of Petersburg, Va,, offered a
resolution reciting that while the
general assembly may not wholly
approve the wisdom of consolidat-
ng tbe two seminaries, yet in view
of the practical unanimity of the
Kentucky and Missouri synods on
the subject and because ot the "safe
guards thrown about the compact,
the assembly would 'interpose no
bar to the consolidation. A motion
to table the resolution was 4 lost and"
further action was then deferred.
